WellQuest Announces Record Revenues in Second Quarter of 2009

* Revenue Growth Driven by Record Number of Client Visits to Medical Clinic
* Second Consecutive Quarter of Record Revenues

BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(Business Wire)--
WellQuest Medical & Wellness Corporation (the "Company" or "WellQuest")
(OTCBB:WEQL), announced revenues of $940,121 in the three months ended June 30,
2009, a new record for the Company, exceeding Q1 2009`s record of $930,336.
Revenues in the second quarter of 2009 increased $160,461, or 21% over 2008
first quarter revenues of $779,660.

"Our financial results, specifically record revenues and operating income, are
evidence that our business model continues to gain traction with our target
market. We look forward to replicating the success of our Bentonville flagship
location at future sites," stated WellQuest CEO Steve Swift.

Revenue growth was driven by increased demand for medical clinic services as
evidenced in a 30% rise in medical clinic visits from 6,435 visits in the second
quarter of 2008 to 8,384 visits in the second quarter of 2009.

The Company reported operating income of $14,085 in the second quarter of 2009
compared to an operating loss of $(447,315) in the second quarter of the prior
year. Results were driven by increased revenues and lower operating expenses in
the second quarter of the current fiscal year as compared to Q2 of fiscal 2008.
Operating expenses were lower in Q2 of 2009 as compared to the prior year`s
second quarter due to legal and corporate expenses associated with WellQuest
becoming public.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $(49,848) or $(0.002) per share,
compared to a net loss of $(513,959) or $(0.022) per share in the second quarter
of 2008. Net income results were driven by a combination of increased revenues
and lower corporate and legal expenses in the second quarter of the current
fiscal year.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, revenues grew 15% to $1,870,457 as
compared to $1,631,206 in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Revenue growth is
attributed to increased demand for medical clinic services which grew by 19%
from 13,876 client visits in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
16,550 visits in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Operating loss was $(32,495) in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
an operating loss of $(342,238) in the prior year`s period. Net loss decreased
in the six months of fiscal 2009 by $328,107 or 69% to $(150,352) from
$(478,459) in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Operating and net income
results were driven by increased revenues and decreased operating expenses in
the 2009 period as compared to 2008.
