2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION	The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2012 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented, with such adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of operations for interim periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations for the full fiscal year. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avid Bioservices, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, as well as disclosures of commitments and contingencies in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Going Concern Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should it be determined that we are unable to continue as a going concern. At January 31, 2013, we had $26,255,000 in cash and cash equivalents. We have expended substantial funds on the research and development of our product candidates, and funding the operations of Avid. As a result, we have historically experienced negative cash flows from operations since our inception and we expect the negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. Our net loss incurred during the nine-month period ended January 31, 2013 amounted to $21,331,000 and our net losses incurred during the past three fiscal years ended April 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, amounted to $42,119,000, $34,151,000, and $14,494,000, respectively. Therefore, unless and until we are able to generate sufficient revenues from Avid’s contract manufacturing services and/or from the sale and/or licensing of our products under development, we expect such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore, our ability to continue to fund our clinical trials and development efforts is highly dependent on the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with our ability to raise additional capital to support our future operations through one or more methods, including but not limited to, issuing additional equity or debt. Historically, we have funded a significant portion of our operations through the issuance of equity. During the nine months ended January 31, 2013, we raised $27,051,000 in gross proceeds under an At Market Sales Issuance Agreement (Note 8), of which $25,555,000 was raised subsequent to September 25, 2012, primarily to replace the $15,000,000 of initial funding we repaid on September 25, 2012 under an earlier loan facility we entered into on August 30, 2012 (Note 7). Subsequent to January 31, 2013 and through March 12, 2013, we raised an additional $4,805,000 in aggregate gross proceeds under two separate At Market Sales Issuance Agreements (Note 8). With respect to our ability to raise additional capital from the issuance of equity, as of March 12, 2013, we have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, under which we may issue, from time to time, in one or more offerings, shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of up to $145,525,000. However, our ability to raise additional capital in the equity markets is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock. The market demand or liquidity of our common stock is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, negative economic conditions, adverse market conditions, adverse clinical trials results, and significant delays in one or more clinical trials. If our ability to access the capital markets becomes severely restricted, it could have a negative impact on our business plans, including our clinical trial programs and other research and development activities. In addition, even if we are able to raise additional capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. In addition to financing our operations through the issuance of equity, we may also secure additional funding through the issuance of debt, licensing or partnering our products in development, or increasing revenue from our wholly-owned subsidiary, Avid. While we will continue to explore these potential opportunities, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in securing debt financing, licensing or partnering our products in development, or generating additional revenue from Avid to complete the research, development, and clinical testing of our product candidates.

Going Concern

Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should it be determined that we are unable to continue as a going concern.

At January 31, 2013, we had $26,255,000 in cash and cash equivalents. We have expended substantial funds on the research and development of our product candidates, and funding the operations of Avid.

Our net loss incurred during the nine-month period ended January 31, 2013 amounted to $21,331,000 and our net losses incurred during the past three fiscal years ended April 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, amounted to $42,119,000, $34,151,000, and $14,494,000, respectively. Therefore, unless and until we are able to generate sufficient revenues from Avid’s contract manufacturing services and/or from the sale and/or licensing of our products under development, we expect such losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

Therefore, our ability to continue to fund our clinical trials and development efforts is highly dependent on the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with our ability to raise additional capital to support our future operations through one or more methods, including but not limited to, issuing additional equity or debt.
