                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE FISCAL SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 1995

1. MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

      Marketable  Securities,  current, at December 30, 1995 represent corporate
      equity securities.  These securities are classified as  available-for-sale
      and are  valued in the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets at their  fair value
      (usually market value). The difference between the fair value and adjusted
      cost of these securities,  net of the effect of income taxes, is reflected
      in Stockholders' Equity.  Marketable Securities,  current, at July 1, 1995
      represents a U. S. government agency note,  classified as held-to-maturity
      and valued in the  Consolidated  Balance Sheets at its cost,  which is not
      significantly   less   than   amortized   cost.   Marketable   Securities,
      non-current, at July 1, 1995 consist of corporate equity securities.

      Adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and the fair value of all
      Marketable Securities at December 30, 1995 is:
                                                     (in thousands)

</TABLE>


      Proceeds   from  the  sale  of  a  Marketable   Security,   classified  as
      available-for-sale,  in the fiscal six months ended  December 30, 1995 was
      $37,000.  One security  was sold on December  29,  1995,  and the $850,000
      proceeds  from its sale is included in  accounts  receivable.  These sales
      resulted in a gross  realized gain of $702,000.  Realized gains and losses
      are determined on a specific identification basis.

      All  Marketable  Securities,  current,  at December  30, 1995 were sold in
      January and February,  1996 and the cash received was used to repay a bank
      loan incurred to repurchase  510,424  shares of the common stock of Wellco
      (see  Note 3).  The gain from  these  sales was  $472,000,  which  will be
      recognized in the third quarter of the 1996 fiscal year.

2. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE:

      On December  30, 1994 Wellco  purchased  from  Coronet  Insurance  Company
      (Coronet) for cash 400,000 shares of the common stock of Alba  Waldensian,
      Inc. (Alba) which represented  21.5% of total Alba common shares.  Because
      Coronet owned more than 50% of Wellco's  total  outstanding  common stock,
      Wellco recorded as its carrying value of this  investment  Coronet's basis
      in these  Alba  shares.  The  excess  of that  basis  over  Wellco's  cost
      increased  Additional  Paid-In  Capital by $650,000,  net of the effect of
      income taxes. This investment has been accounted for on the equity method.

      Operating  results  for the fiscal  six months  ended  December  30,  1995
      includes as Loss in Affiliate a charge of $601,000,  representing Wellco's
      $305,000 equity in Alba's loss for this period and a $296,000 reduction of
      this investment's  carring value to fair value . The charge for the fiscal
      three months ended December 30, 1995 is $479,000, of which $183,000 is the
      equity in Alba's quarterly loss and $296,000 is the fair value adjustment.
      On December 29, 1995, these shares were used as part of the  consideration
      paid for the  repurchase  of 510,424  shares of the common stock of Wellco
      (See Note 3).

      Other  than  this  investment,  there  are no  business  relationships  or
      transactions between Wellco and Alba.

                                      -10-

3. REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK:

      On December 29, 1995 Wellco  repurchased  from Coronet  Insurance  Company
      (Coronet) 510,424 shares of Wellco's common stock, which represents 57.69%
      of total  shares  outstanding  at that time.  Cash of  $5,460,000  and the
      400,000 shares of Alba-Waldensian,  Inc. (Alba) common stock were paid for
      these Wellco  shares.  In addition,  for the six years  beginning with the
      1997 fiscal year which starts June 30, 1996, certain additional  payments,
      not to exceed  $1,531,000,  will be made  contingent  upon  cumulative net
      income exceeding certain defined amounts.  After this repurchase there are
      374,382  common shares  outstanding.  Under North  Carolina law the shares
      repurchased constitute authorized but unissued shares.

      After  this  repurchase,  Coronet  owns  25,000  shares  of  Wellco  which
      represents  approximetely  7% of the  remaining  shares  outstanding.  The
      Repurchase  Agreement  provides  that  for a  period  of ten  years  after
      December 29, 1995 Coronet will limit its  ownership of Wellco common stock
      to not  more  than  20% of  total  shares  outstanding.  The  Consolidated
      Statements of Operations  for the three and six months ended  December 30,
      1995 include as Stock  Repurchase  Charge $110,000  representing the value
      assigned to this limitation.

      This  repurchase was recorded at the cash paid, the fair value of the Alba
      shares,  the present value of the additional  amount  projected to be paid
      during the six year  period and the amount of  investment  banker,  legal,
      accounting and other costs incurred  related to this share  repurchase,  a
      total of  $10,927,000.  The par value of the the common stock  repurchased
      ($511,000) was charged  against  Common Stock.  The excess of total amount
      paid over the par value of Wellco's  common stock  repurchased was charged
      to  Additional   Paid-In   Capital   ($811,000)   and  Retained   Earnings
      ($9,605,000).   The  present  value  of  projected   additional   payments
      ($492,000) to be made in the six year period is shown in the  Consolidated
      Balance Sheets as Note Payable.

4. SHORT-TERM BORROWING FROM BANK:
      On December 29,  1995,  $4,500,000  was  borrowed  from a bank and used to
      provide  part of the cash paid for the stock  repurchase.  In January  and
      February,  1996, all Wellco's marketable securities were sold and the bank
      loan repaid.

      Actual  payments under the note will only be made for amounts by which 60%
      of each year's net income exceeds certain defined amounts, calculated on a
      cumulative  basis.  The note does not  provide for the payment of interest
      and does not require a minimum  yearly  payment.  Total payments under the
      note cannot exceed $1,531,000 and all obligations under the note terminate
      after the 2002 fiscal year.

      Adjustments  will be made to the amount  recorded  based on actual amounts
      paid and if future events significantly change estimated future payments.

6. GOVERNMENT BOOT CONTRACT REVENUES:

      Revenues in the six month period ended December 30, 1995 include  $552,000
      representing  the estimated amount of contract change orders that have not
      as yet been  negotiated with the  government.  Any difference  between the
      estimates and the actual amounts negotiated will be recorded in the period
      in which negotiations are completed.

     Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparing The Six Months Ended December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:

Income  before  income  taxes in the  current  period was  $77,000  compared  to
$880,000  in the prior one.  Current  period  income  was  reduced by a $601,000
charge  for Loss in  Affiliate,  representing  Wellco's  $305,000  equity in the
six-month loss of  Alba-Waldensian,  Inc. (Alba), and the $296,000 write down to
fair value of that  investment.  Wellco has owned 400,000  common shares of Alba
(21.5% of total shares) since December 30, 1994. Wellco's investment in Alba was
exchanged  on December 29, 1995,  as part of the  purchase  price,  for Wellco's
repurchase of 510,424  shares of its common stock.  Income was also reduced by a
Stock  Repurchase  Charge  of  $110,000,  which  is the  portion  of  the  stock
repurchase  price allocated to an agreement  limiting the selling  shareholders'
ownership  of total  Wellco  shares for a period of ten years (see Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income  before  income  taxes,  the Loss in Affiliate  and the Stock  Repurchase
Charge was $788,000,  which  compares to income of $880,000 in the prior period.
The total of interest,  dividend and investment  income in the current period is
$873,000 compared to $224,000 in the prior period, primarily because the current
period includes the sale of one marketable  security at an amount  significantly
greater that its carrying  value.  Before Loss in  Affiliate,  Stock  Repurchase
Charge and interest,  dividend and investment  income,  the Company had a pretax
loss of $85,000 in the  current  period  compared  to income of  $656,000 in the
prior period. The major reasons for this decrease are:

1.   Pairs of combat boots sold to the U. S. government decreased  approximately
     13% in the current  period.  Prior to November,  1994,  Wellco was shipping
     combat boots under the delivery  schedule of the base period of its current
     contract . This required the delivery of  approximately  277,000 pairs in a
     twelve month period. In November,  1994 Wellco started shipping against the
     delivery  schedule  of the first  option of this  contract.  This  delivery
     schedule  called for delivery of another  277,000 pairs over an extended 16
     month  period.  Current  period  combat boot sales to the U. S.  government
     fully  reflect  this  extended  delivery  period  whereas only part of this
     extended  delivery period is reflected in the prior period.  Although sales
     of boots to  customers  other than the U. S.  government  increased  in the
     current  period,  lower margins on these sales did not offset the effect of
     lower U. S. government  sales. This market is dominated by low cost foreign
     manufacturers  and price,  not quality,  is frequently the buyers'  primary
     concern.

2.   Shipments of combat boot  manufacturing  materials and machinery to foreign
     customers  decreased in the current period.  The prior period also includes
     significant  machinery  sales  to one  new  customer  and to one  long-time
     customer,  which did not occur in the current period.  These sales can vary
     significantly  from  period  to  period  with the  needs  of this  group of
     customers.  Revenues from technical  assistance fees and equipment  rentals
     from  licensees,  which  vary  with  their  shipments,   decreased  because
     shipments of the Company's U. S. combat boot  manufacturing  licensees were
     also affected the government's longer delivery schedules.

3.   In the prior period,  the U. S.  government  issued certain  contract price
     increase  adjustments,  primarily for the increased cost of leather used in
     manufacturing   combat  boots,  whose  actual  amounts  were  greater  than
     previously recorded estimates. This increased pretax profits $54,000 in the
     prior period.

While these items  resulted in a total revenue  decrease of $919,000,  the major
categories of fixed and

                                      -13-
<PAGE>


semi- variable  costs  increased by a total  $29,000.  Several  expenses in this
category went up by small amounts (health and workers'  compensation  insurance,
utilities,  pension)  and  several  went  down by  small  amounts  (repairs  and
maintenance,  manufacturing  supplies,  travel).  The  overall  increase  had  a
negative effect on operating results.

Forward Looking Information:

On August 2, 1995, the government exercised its second and last option under the
Company's current combat boot contract for a minimum 277,000 pairs. On September
26, 1995, the Company agreed to a government request for a contract modification
which reduced this minimum pairs to 30,000.  The Company  understands  that this
request was caused by the government's  over-obligation  of funds for its fiscal
year ending  September 30, 1995, and they were correcting this by reducing their
obligation on items for which delivery  orders had not yet been placed.  At that
time, the  government  indicated that it was their intent to purchase all of the
original  277,000  pairs.  The Company agreed to this  modification  because the
government  could have otherwise  exercised its right to unilaterally  terminate
the contract for the convenience of the  government,  and because the government
agreed  that the  Company  would be  reimbursed  for any  lost  contribution  to
overhead, general and administrative costs and profit caused by any reduction in
the original  277,000  pairs and/or any delay in  production.  The  government's
delivery  orders  issued to date  against  this option are on schedule for their
purchasing the full 277,000 pairs.

Because of limitations  imposed by the current  contract,  deliveries under this
second option will be over a period of twelve months,  and Wellco made the first
delivery  in  January,  1996.  Deliveries  under the first  option,  which  were
completed in  December,  1995,  were for the same 277,000  pairs and were over a
period of sixteen  months.  The second  option's  shorter  delivery  period will
increase sales of combat boots to the U.
S. government through December 1996.

Since 1992,  the government has had a policy of reducing its inventory of combat
boots by buying  fewer pairs than were  consumed.  One result of this policy was
the  sixteen  month  delivery  schedule  under the first  option of the  current
contract.  The government  has indicated that this policy will continue  through
the next three-year contract. This contract is expected to be awarded in August,
1996 with first deliveries in January,  1997, and by the end of that contract in
1999 the inventory reduction should be accomplished. Wellco understands that the
total  pairs to be  purchased  under the new  contract  will be less than  those
purchased under the current one.  Wellco will bid on this contract.  As with any
bid,  there is no  assurance  that Wellco  will be awarded a  contract,  or that
contract  prices  will  offset the effect on  operating  results of the  reduced
number of pairs.

In late  August,  1995,  the Company was awarded a $1,184,000  development  boot
contract from the U. S. government. The objective of this contract is to develop
changes to the combat boot that will result in fewer lower extremity  disorders.
This work is divided into three phases and will be completed in about two years.
Development,  testing and delivery of  prototype  boots under the first phase of
this contract was completed in late February,  1996,  and operating  results for
the third fiscal  quarter of 1996 will reflect the completion of the first phase
of this work.

As discussed below in the section on liquidity and capital resources, Wellco has
sold all of its  marketable  securities to provide the cash portion of the total
price paid for the  repurchase of 510,424  share of its common stock.  The third
fiscal quarter ending March 30, 1996 will include  investment income of $472,000
from the sale of these  securities.  The sale of these  securities  will  have a
negative  effect on future  periods  net  income to the  extent  that  interest,
dividends and investment  income would have been realized from these securities.
The 400,000  shares of  Alba-Waldensian,  Inc.  common stock owned by Wellco was
exchanged as part of the total price to repurchase  these Wellco shares . Future
periods Consolidated Statements of Operations will not include any equity in the
income or loss of Alba.

Comparing The Three Months Ended December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:

Income  before  income  taxes in the  current  period was  $138,000  compared to
$570,000  in the prior one.  Current  period  income  was  reduced by a $479,000
charge  for Loss in  Affiliate,  representing  Wellco's  $183,000  equity in the
three-month loss of Alba-Waldensian, Inc. (Alba), and the $296,000 write down to
fair value of that  investment.  Income was also reduced by the  $110,000  Stock
Repurchase Charge.

Income  before  income  taxes,  the Loss in Affiliate  and the Stock  Repurchase
Charge was $727,000,  which  compares to income of $570,000 in the prior period.
The total of interest,  dividend and investment  income in the current period is
$767,000 compared to $135,000 in the prior period, primarily because the current
period includes the sale of one marketable  security at an amount  significantly
greater that its carrying  value.  Before Loss in  Affiliate,  Stock  Repurchase
Charge and interest, dividend and investment income, the Company had pretax loss
of $40,000 in the  current  period  compared  to income of $435,000 in the prior
period. The major reasons for this decrease are:


1.   Pairs of combat boots sold to the U. S. government decreased  approximately
     22% in the  current  period  for  the  reasons  stated  in  the  six  month
     comparison.  Sales of boots to  customers  other than the U. S.  government
     increased in the current  period,  but lower margins on these sales did not
     offset the effect of lower U. S. government sales.

2.   The prior period includes  significant  machinery sales to one new customer
     and to one long-time  customer,  which did not occur in the current period.
     The  negative  effect of these lower  revenues was  partially  offset by an
     increase in the sales of materials  to a foreign  customer.  Revenues  from
     technical assistance fees and equipment rentals from licensees,  which vary
     with their  shipments,  decreased  because the  Company's U. S. Combat boot
     manufacturing licensees were also affected the government's longer delivery
     schedules.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Wellco uses cash from  operations to supply most of its liquidity  needs. A bank
line of credit is maintained for supplying any unforeseen cash needs.

The following  table  summarizes at the end of the most recent fiscal six months
and the last fiscal year the availability of cash from the Company's most liquid
assets and from its existing borrowing sources:

<S>                                            <C>                  <C>    

Cash .............................................         $1,433         $2,423

Total ............................................         $6,195         $4,899
</TABLE>

The increase in the above  measurement of liquid assets at December 30, 1995 was
caused by the reclassification of non-current  marketable  securities to current
because of their sale  subsequent  to  December  30. On  December  29,  1995 the
Company  repurchased  510,424 shares of its outstanding common stock for a price
consisting  partially  of a $5,460,000  cash  payment.  On December  29,  Wellco
borrowed  $4,500,000  from a bank  which,  along with  $960,000 of cash from the
maturity of a U. S. Government Agency note, was

                                      -15-

<PAGE>



used to make this  payment.  On December  29,  Wellco  also sold one  marketable
security  and since then has sold all of its  remaining  marketable  securities,
using the sale proceeds, $4,194,000 and $306,000 of cash to completely repay the
$4,500,000  bank loan.  So, the cash portion of the stock  repurchase  price was
provided by the sale and maturity of marketable  securities  totaling $5,154,000
and from $306,000 of existing cash. If the above table was adjusted for this and
the bank borrowing repayment, it would show cash of approximately $1,127,000 and
$1,480,000 of unused line of credit.

The following  table  summarizes  the major  sources  (uses) of cash for the six
months ended December 30, 1995:

                                                                  (in thousands)

</TABLE>

The most  significant,  potentially  negative  effect on  liquidity of the stock
repurchase  was the sale of  marketable  securities,  to the  extent  that these
securities,  being marketable,  could have been sold to meet other liquidity and
capital needs.  Liquidity  will also be negatively  affected to the extent these
securities  provided  cash from  interest and  dividends.  Because of this,  the
Company may, from time to time, use the bank line of credit more frequently than
in the past,  but does not  anticipate  that it will need to borrow  significant
amounts for long periods of time.

The Company  believes  that its cash  resources  are adequate to meet  presently
known  operating  activity  needs.  The Company has no material  commitments for
capital  equipment.  Note 5 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements  provides
information  about a commitment to make  additional cash payments from the stock
repurchase,  contingent  upon net incomes for the six fiscal  years 1997 through
2002.   The  Company   does  not  know  of  any  other   demands,   commitments,
uncertainties,  or trends that will result in or that are  reasonably  likely to
result in its liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

The bank line of credit, which provides for total borrowings of $1,500,000, will
expire and be subject to renewal on December 30, 1996.
