Item 5. Other Events

     On April 8, 2003, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Nasdaq has notified the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B), and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing. However, the hearing request will stay the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision.

     A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
