Item 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure
 
The attached financial statements have been filed in order to show compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) requirement that Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. For continued listing on the SmallCap Market, the Company must maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million or a minimum market value of listed securities of $35 million or a net income from continuing operations (in latest fiscal year or 2 of the last 3 fiscal years) of at least $500,000. As of September 30, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with any of these standards. As of September 30, 2002, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $2,081,409.
 
Consequently, Nasdaq notified the Company that it has failed to maintain the stockholders’ equity continued listing requirement for the SmallCap Market, and that it would commence procedures to de-list the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market unless the Company could provide a plan to regain compliance with the stockholder’s equity requirement. The Company provided such a plan and during the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company has regained compliance for listing on the SmallCap Market in part as a result of the closing of three financings during the period. Nasdaq has required that we file the attached balance sheet, pro-forma balance sheet and the statement of operations by January 3, 2003. The attached balance sheet includes the effect of these financings as well as operations for the two-month period.
