Complete description of correlation functions of scalar superfields on a super Riemann surface is given which takes into account zero modes and non-trivial topology. The main result is given in form of ``Chiral Splitting Theorem'' describing the non-chiral correlation function in terms of chiral amplitude which depends holomorphically on the background geometry and chiral polarization tensors and meromorphically on the vertex operator insertion points. The effective rules leading to the expression for chiral amplitudes are formulated. As a byproduct the natural candidates for super abelian differentials, super period matrices and super prime forms are derived.
