Description of Business BackgroundWellness Center USA, Inc. ("WCUI" or the "Company") was incorporated inJune 2010 under the laws of theState of Nevada . We initially engaged in online sports and nutrition supplements marketing and distribution. We subsequently expanded into additional businesses within the healthcare and medical sectors through acquisitions, includingPsoria-Shield Inc. ("PSI") andStealthCo Inc. ("SCI"), d/b/aStealth Mark, Inc. The Company currently operates in two business segments: (i) distribution of targeted Ultra Violet ("UV") phototherapy devices for dermatology; and (ii) authentication and encryption products and services. The segments are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, PSI and SCI. PSI PSI was incorporated under the laws of the state ofFlorida onJune 17, 2009 . We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock in PSI on August
24, 2012. 19 Joint Ventures We conducted PSI operations throughPsoria Development Company LLC , anIllinois limited liability company ("PDC"), fromJanuary 15, 2015 through October, 2018. PDC was a joint venture betweenWCUI/PSI and The Medical Alliance, Inc. , aFlorida corporation ("TMA"). OnNovember 15, 2018 , PSI and TMA terminated the PDC joint venture. On the termination date, the non-controlling interest's share of the accumulated losses of the joint venture totaled$405,383 . During the year endedSeptember 30, 2019 , the Company wrote-off the non-controlling interest's share of the accumulated losses and recorded a loss from deconsolidation of non-controlling interest of$405,383 . InDecember 2018 , the Company and PSI entered into a Joint Venture Agreement withPSI GEN2 Funding, Inc. , anIllinois corporation ("GEN2"), to further develop, market, license and/or sell PSI technology and products. The Joint Venture Agreement provides for the venture to be conducted throughNEO Phototherapy, LLC , anIllinois limited liability company ("NEO"), with PSI and GEN2 to hold membership Units representing 50.5% and 36.0% ownership, respectively. It provides for an additional 13.5% of such Units to be reserved for issuance as incentive awards to key employees and consultants. PSI and GEN2 are to jointly manage NEO's day-to-day operations. According to the Joint Venture Agreement, PSI would contribute PSI technology to NEO in consideration for its Units and GEN2 would contribute$700,000 for its Units. Once NEO has realized and retained cumulative net income/distributable cash in the amount of$300,000 , the next$700,000 of realized and retained cumulative net income/distributable cash would be distributed to GEN2. Distributions thereafter would be made to PSI, GEN2 and other members, if any, in proportion to their respective Unit ownership, at the times and in the manner determined from time to time by the managers, in their sole discretion. During the nine months endedJune 30, 2020 , NEO's operations required funding in excess of the$700,000 initially anticipated by the joint venture. As ofJune 30, 2020 , GEN2 had contributed$975,000 to NEO, for which GEN2 received Units representing a cumulative total of 39.0% ownership of NEO. Additional Units representing a 10% ownership interest in NEO were awarded to one individual as a key staff incentive from the reserve initially established for such awards, with no further awards currently anticipated. As a result, once NEO has realized and retained cumulative net income/distributable cash in the amount of$300,000 , the next$975,000 of realized and retained cumulative net income/distributable cash would be distributed to GEN2. Distributions thereafter would be made to PSI, GEN2 and the other member, in proportion to their respective Unit ownership, at the times and in the manner determined from time to time by the managers, in their sole discretion.
GEN2 contributions to NEO were derived from its shareholders, which consist of accredited investors, and which include several WCUI officers and directors, includingCalvin R. O'Harrow ,Roy M. Harsch ,William E. Kingsford ,Douglas Samuelson ,Paul D. Jones andThomas E. Scott . GEN2 shareholders, including said officers and directors of WCUI, will share any realized and retained cumulative net income/distributable cash that may be distributed to GEN2.
As of
EffectiveApril 30, 2020 , the joint venture with GEN2 was reorganized. GEN2 shareholders exchanged their common shares in GEN2, and the individual exchanged his membership interests in NEO, for common shares representing 49% ownership in PSI. The Company retained its common shares in PSI, which provides the Company a 51% economic interest in the PSI technology and products developed by the joint venture. During the three and nine months endedJune 30, 2020 , the entities recorded a combined loss of$71,442 and$161,604 , respectively, relating to
its operations. Repayment of the$975,000 investment will begin through and upon the date which PSI has realized and retained cumulative net income/distributable cash in the amount of$300,000 . PSI ownership consists of accredited investors, and investment participation of$750,000 from several WCUI officers and directors, includingCalvin R. O'Harrow andRoy M. Harsch . At the end ofMay 2020 , the Company's subsidiary, PSI, agreed to become a majority shareholder inProtec Scientific, Inc. ("Protec"), subject to execution of a definitive agreement. Protec was formed inApril 2020 byJohn Yorke for the purpose of designing, developing and marketing products that use spectral photonic emissions across a variety of applications. As ofJune 30, 2020 , PSI had advanced$80,000 to Protec in furtherance of its agreement to acquire approximately 96% of Protec, with the Company's derivative share being approximately 48%, based on its PSI ownership. The remaining 52% derivative share is to be attributed to PSI's minority shareholders, based on their PSI ownership, and other investors. 20 Psoria-Light
PSI designs, develops and markets a targeted ultraviolet ("UV") phototherapy device called the Psoria-Light. The Psoria-Light is designated for use in targeted PUVA photochemistry and UVB phototherapy and is designed to treat certain skin conditions including psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis, and leukoderma.
Psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo, are common skin conditions that can be
challenging to treat, and often cause the client significant psychosocial
stress. Clients may undergo a variety of treatments to address these skin
conditions, including routine consumption of systemic and biologic drug
therapies which are highly toxic, reduce systemic immune system function, and
come with a host of chemotherapy-like side effects. Ultraviolet (UV)
phototherapy is a clinically validated alternate treatment modality for these
disorders.
Traditionally, "non-targeted" UV phototherapy was administered by lamps that
emitted either UVA or UVB light to both diseased and healthy skin. While
sunblocks or other UV barriers may be used to protect healthy skin, the UV
administered in this manner must be low dosage to avoid excessive exposure of
healthy tissue. Today, "targeted" UV phototherapy devices administer much higher
dosages of light only to affected tissue, resulting in "clearance" in the case
of psoriasis and eczema, and "repigmentation" in the case of vitiligo, at much
faster rates than non-targeted (low dosage) UV treatments.
Targeted UV treatments are typically administered to smaller total body surface
areas, and are therefore used to treat the most intense parts of a client's
disease. Non-targeted UV treatment is typically used as a follow-up and for
maintenance, capable of treating large surfaces of the body. Excimer laser
devices (UVB at 308nm) are expensive and consume dangerous chemicals (Xenon and
Chlorine). Mercury lamp devices (UVB and/or UVA) require expensive lamp
replacements regularly and require special disposal (due to mercury content).
Additionally, mercury lamp devices typically deliver wavelengths of light below
300nm. While within the UVB spectrum, it has been shown that wavelengths below
300nm produce significantly more "sunburn" type side effects than do wavelengths
between 300 and 320nm without improvement in therapeutic benefit.
The Psoria-Light is a targeted UV phototherapy device that produces UVB light
between 300 and 320 nm as well as UVA light between 350 and 395nm. It does not
require consumption of dangerous chemicals or require special environmental
disposal, and is cost effective for clinicians, which should result in increased
patient access to this type of treatment. It has several unique and advanced
features that we believe will distinguish it from the non-targeted and targeted
UV phototherapy devices that are currently being used by dermatologists and
other healthcare providers. These features include the following: the
utilization of deep narrow-band UVB ("NB-UVB") LEDs as light sources; the
ability to produce both UVA or NB-UVB therapeutic wavelengths; an integrated
high resolution digital camera and client record integration capabilities; the
ability to export to an external USB memory device a PDF file of treatment
information including a patent pending graph that includes digital images
plotted against user tracked metrics which can be submitted to improve medical
reimbursements; an accessory port and ability to update software; ease of
placement and portability; advanced treatment site detection safety sensor;
international language support; a warranty which includes the UV lamp(s); and a
non-changeable treatment log (that does not include HIPPA information).
The Psoria-Light consists of three components: a base console, a color display
with touchscreen control, and a hand-held delivery device with a conduit (or
tether) between the handheld device and the base console. PSI requires clearance
by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to market and sell the
device in the United States as well as permission from TUV SUD America Inc. ,
PSI's Notified Body, to affix the CE mark to the Psoria-Light in order to market
and sell the device in countries of the European Union .
To obtain FDA clearance and permission to affix the CE mark, PSI was required to
conduct EMC and electrical safety testing, which it completed in the second
quarter of 2011. PSI received FDA clearance on February 11, 2011 (no. K103540)
and was granted permission to affix the CE mark on November 10, 2011 . In its
510(k) application with the FDA (application number K103540), PSI asserted that
the Psoria-Light was "substantially equivalent" in intended use and technology
to two predicate devices, the X -Trac Excimer Laser, which has wide acceptance
in the medical billing literature and has a large installed base in the U.S. ,
and the Dualight, another competing targeted UV phototherapy device.
PSI has established an ISO 13485 compliant quality system for the Psoria-Light,
which was first audited in the third quarter of 2011. This system is intended to
ensure PSI devices will be manufactured in a controlled and reliable environment
and that its resources follow similar practices and is required for sales in
countries requiring a CE mark. PSI has also received Certified Space Technology
designation from the Space Foundation , based on PSI's incorporation of
established NASA-funded LED technology.
21
PSI began Psoria-Light Beta deployment in January 2012 . It is currently
operating at a loss, and there is no assurance that its business development
plans and strategies will ever be successful. PSI's success depends upon the
acceptance by healthcare providers and clients of Psoria-Light treatment as a
preferred method of treatment for psoriasis and other UV-treatable skin
conditions. Psoria-Light treatment appears to have been beneficial to clients,
without demonstrable harmful side effects or safety issues, as evidenced by more
than 10,000 treatments completed on more than 1,000 clients, domestically and
Mexico , since 2012. In order for the Company to continue PSI operations, it will
need additional capital and it will have to successfully coordinate integration
of PSI operations without materially and adversely affecting continuation and
development of other Company operations.
SCI
SCI was incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois on March 18, 2014 .
SCI acquired certain Stealth Mark assets on April 4, 2014 and operates as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. It is a provider of: a) Stealth Mark
encryption and authentication solutions offering advanced technologies within
the security and supply chain management vertical sectors (Intelligent
Microparticles), and b) advanced data intelligence services offering
proprietary, unprecedented, and actionable technology for industries, companies,
and agencies on a global scale (ActiveDuty™).
Intelligent Microparticles
SCI provides clients premiere authentication technology for the protection of a variety of products and brands from illicit counterfeiting and diversion activities. Its technology is applicable to a wide range of industries affected by counterfeiting, diversion and theft including, but not limited to, pharmaceuticals, defense/aerospace, automotive, electronics, technology, consumer and personal care goods, designer products, beverage/spirits, and
many others. SCI delivers the client a complete, simple to use, easy to implement, and cost effective turnkey system that is extremely difficult to compromise. SCI's technology includes a combination of proprietary software and intelligent microparticle marks that are unduplicatable and undetectable to the human eye.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet generated significant revenues and has incurred recurring net losses. During the nine months endedJune 30, 2020 , the Company incurred a net loss of$2,183,828 and used cash in operations of$730,995 , and had a shareholders' deficit of$2,168,793 as ofJune 30, 2020 . These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
