Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Nant Health, LLC was formed on July 7, 2010, as a Delaware limited liability company. On June 1, 2016, Nant Health, LLC converted into a Delaware corporation (the “LLC Conversion”) and changed its name to NantHealth, Inc. (“NantHealth”). NantHealth, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a healthcare IT company converging science and technology. The Company works to transform clinical delivery with actionable clinical intelligence at the moment of decision, enabling clinical discovery through real-time machine learning systems. The Company markets certain of its solutions as a comprehensive integrated solution that includes its molecular sequencing and analysis services, clinical decision support, and payer engagement solutions. The Company also markets molecular sequencing and analysis services, clinical decision support, and payer engagement solutions on a stand-alone basis. NantHealth is a majority-owned subsidiary of NantWorks, LLC (“NantWorks”), which is a subsidiary of California Capital Equity, LLC (“Cal Cap”). The three companies were founded by and are led by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.

On June 7, 2019, the Company sold its home health care services business (see Note 4).

On February 3, 2020, the Company sold certain of its assets related to its Connected Care Business (see Note 4).

The sales will enable the Company to focus on its core competencies of genomic sequencing, clinical decision support, and payer engagement.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company conducted the majority of its operations in the United States and the United Kingdom.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. In the same month, the President of the United States declared a State of National Emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Many jurisdictions, particularly in North America (including the United States), Europe and Asia, as well as U.S. states in which the Company operates, including California, have adopted or are considering laws, rules, regulations or decrees intended to address the COVID-19 outbreak, including implementing travel restrictions, closing non-essential businesses and/or restricting daily activities. In addition, many communities have limited, and are considering to further limit, social mobility and gathering. To date, there has been no material adverse impact to the Company's business from the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the unprecedented and evolving nature of the pandemic, the future impact of these changes and potential changes on the Company and its contractors, consultants, customers, resellers and partners is unknown at this time.

However, in light of the uncertainties regarding economic, business, social, health and geopolitical conditions, the Company’s revenues, earnings, liquidity, and cash flows could be adversely affected, whether on an annual or quarterly basis. Continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect the Company’s current and long-term accounts receivable collectibility, as its negatively impacted customers from the pandemic may request temporary relief, delay, or not make scheduled payments. In addition, the deployment of the Company’s solutions may represent a large portion of its customers' investments in software technology. Decisions to make such an investment are impacted by the economic environment in which the customers operate. Uncertain global geopolitical, economic and health conditions and the lack of visibility or the lack of financial resources may cause some customers to reduce, postpone or terminate their investments, or to reduce or not renew ongoing paid services, adversely impacting the Company’s revenues or timing of revenue. Health conditions in some geographic areas where the Company’s customers operate could impact the economic situation of those areas. These conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, may present risks for health and limit the ability to travel for Company employees, which could further lengthen the Company’s sales cycle and delay revenue and cash flows in the near-term.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NantHealth and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations. In accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), these Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations of the entities disposed of are included in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements up to the date of disposal and, where appropriate, these operations have been reflected as discontinued operations. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date. Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately in the asset and liability sections of the prior period balance sheet. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, and its ability to borrow from affiliated entities will be sufficient to fund operations through at least 12 months following the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company continues to have its Chairman and CEO’s intent and ability to support the Company’s operations with additional funds as required. The Company may also seek to sell additional equity, through one or more follow-on public offerings or in separate financings, or sell additional debt securities, or obtain a credit facility. However, the Company may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms. The Company may also consider selling off components of its business. Without additional funds, the Company may choose to delay or reduce its operating or investment expenditures. Further, because of the risk and uncertainties associated with the commercialization of the Company's existing products as well as products in development, the Company may need additional funds to meet its needs sooner than planned. To date, the Company's primary sources of capital have been the private placement of membership interests prior to its IPO, debt financing agreements, including the promissory note with Nant Capital, LLC (“NantCapital”) and its convertible notes, its IPO, and proceeds from the sale of components of its business.
