                            WELLCO ENTERPRISES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE FISCAL SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1996


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      Stock Options-

               In October 1995 the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued
               Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  123,
               "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation." This standard defines
               a fair  value  based  method of  accounting  for  employee  stock
               options,  and gives  companies a choice of measuring  stock-based
               compensation  expense  by  adopting  the  fair  value  method  or
               continuing  to measure  compensation  using the  intrinsic  value
               approach of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, the
               former  standard.  If a company  elects to continue using APB 25,
               SFAS 123 requires,  among other  things,  disclosure of pro forma
               net income  and  earnings  per share as if the fair  value  based
               accounting method in SFAS 123 had been adopted. This statement is
               effective for the Company's 1997 fiscal year and, as permitted by
               SFAS  123,  the new  disclosures  will  first be made in the 1997
               fiscal year annual report. The Company will continue using APB 25
               to record stock-based compensation expense. The Company has stock
               options  outstanding  for 52,500  shares of its  Common  stock to
               which this disclosure will apply.  Under the present stock option
               plan, the option price is the same  as  the market  price  on the
               date  of option  award,  therefore  Wellco  will  not   recognize
               compensation expense for these options under APB 25.

2.    NOTE PAYABLE:

      This represents the present value of estimated  future payments to be made
      under a note payable  related to Wellco's  repurchase of 510,424 shares of
      its common  stock from its former  majority  shareholder  on December  29,
      1995.  Actual  payments  under the note will only be made for  amounts  by
      which  60% of each  fiscal  year's  net  income  exceeds  certain  defined
      amounts,  calculated on a cumulative  basis,  with the first payment being
      due for the 1997 fiscal year which ends June 28,  1997.  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 2003 fiscal year payment.

      At  December  28, 1996 and  primarily  because of the  possibility  of new
      contracting  opportunities  with the U. S. government,  Wellco revised its
      estimates  of the amount  that will be paid under this note  payable,  and
      adjusted the note's recorded amount  accordingly.  This increased the Note
      Payable  as shown in the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  by  $798,000,  and
      reduced  Retained  Earnings  by the  same  amount.  The  present  value of
      estimated  note  payments,   which  reflects  maximum  total  payments  of
      $1,531,000, discounted at 10% is as follows:

      An imputed amount of interest is being charged  against  operations  using
      the same 10%  discount  rate.  Adjustments  will be made to the  estimated
      amount  recorded  based  on  actual  amounts  paid  and if  future  events
      significantly change estimated future payments.


3.    STOCK SPLIT:

      A  three-for-one  stock split was  declared by the Board of  Directors  on
      November 19, 1996 payable on January 3, 1997 to  stockholders of record on
      December 6, 1996.  The par value of the new shares issued,  $749,000,  was
      transferred to Common Stock from Additional Paid-In Capital ($598,000) and
      Retained  Earnings  ($151,000).  All share and per  share  amounts  in the
      financial  statements have been  retroactively  adjusted to give effect to
      this stock split.


4.    GOVERNMENT BOOT CONTRACT REVENUES:

      Revenues in the six month period ended December 28, 1996 include  $306,000
      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. Revenues in this six month period was
      reduced by $30,000  representing  adjustments to such estimates previously
      recorded in the 1996 fiscal year.

                          PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparing The Six Months Ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995:

Income  before  income  taxes in the  current  period was  $656,000  compared to
$77,000  in the first  six  months of the prior  fiscal  year.   The prior  year
contained several non-recurring items, which were:

1.   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 had 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.

2.   The total of interest,  dividend and investment  income was $873,000 in the
     first six months of the  previous  year  compared to $29,000 in the current
     period. The prior period included the sale of one marketable security at an
     amount  significantly  greater  that its  carrying  value.  All  marketable
     securities were  subsequently sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 1996
     to pay for the stock repurchase.  The current period only includes interest
     income earned on excess operating funds.

The loss before the above non-recurring items, dividend, interest and investment
income in the prior  period was  $85,000  compared  to income of $627,000 in the
current period. The primary reasons for this change are:

1.   Pairs of combat boots sold to the U. S. government increased  approximately
     32,000 (about 30%) in the current period.  In the six months ended December
     28, 1996,  Wellco was shipping  combat boots under the second option of its
     current  contract.  For the prior  period,  shipments  were under the first
     option.  Both options are for the same total pairs, but the delivery period
     for the  second  option is twelve  months  and for the first  option it was
     sixteen  months.  Sales of combat boots to  customers  other than the U. S.
     government  decreased  in  the  current  period.  These  boots,  which  are
     substantially  modified  from those sold to the U. S.  government,  usually
     have a lower  gross  margin,  and this had the  effect  of  increasing  the
     overall gross margin.

     Increased  revenues  from combat boot sales more than offset a decrease  in
     sales of boot  manufacturing  raw  materials  and  machinery.  The    prior
     period  included  a  significant  sale  to  one  customer. These sales  can
     vary  significantly  from  period to period, depending on customers' needs.

2.   Current  period  income was also  reduced by $30,000  which  represents  an
     adjustment to estimates recorded in the 1996 fiscal year related to certain
     contract actions not yet settled with the U. S. government.

3.   Current period income was also reduced by $32,000 representing  interest on
     a note payable related to the December 29, 1995 repurchase of Wellco stock.

4.   Gross  margins  improved  significantly  in the current  period.  Technical
     assistance fees and rental

                                      -12-

<PAGE>



               income increased with no significant  increase in cost. The major
               categories  of  fixed  and  semi-  variable  manufacturing  costs
               decreased  $21,000,  primarily  because of a decrease in employee
               group health insurance, for which Wellco is self-funded.  Certain
               other  sales,  on which  margins are higher than those for combat
               boots, increased.  Compared to last year, boot mold manufacturing
               has been very busy  increasing  the  inventory  of leased  molds,
               which has  resulted in a higher  recovery of fixed  manufacturing
               costs.

General  and   administrative   costs  increased   because  of  higher  employee
compensation  costs, and increased  participation  in military  equipment shows.
Income taxes are provided at the estimated overall rate for the fiscal year.

Forward Looking Information:

Deliveries  under the second  and last  option of the  current U. S.  government
combat boot contract were substantially completed in December 1996.

On September 27, 1996,  Wellco  submitted a bid against a  solicitation  for the
next U. S.  government  combat boot  contract,  and the  government  estimated a
contract award date of  mid-December  1996. As has happened so many times in the
past, the award date has been extended  three times,  and it is now estimated to
be in late February. 

Wellco  has,  just as it has done in the  past,  continued  to  manufacture  and
inventory  combat boots in  anticipation of the award.  Management  believes any
risk associated with this practice is justified in order to maintain its skilled
work force and to be able to provide quick  response on  government  orders when
the  contracts  are  awarded.  Revenues and income in the 1997 fiscal year third
quarter which will end March 29, 1997 may be adversely affected by this delay in
contract  award.   Any  adverse  effect  will  be  minimized  by  Wellco  having
significant  pairs of boots ready to ship upon contract  award,  and any adverse
effect should be reversed in future  periods,  since the delay will not have any
effect on the total number of pairs Wellco will ship under the new contract.

As with the current contract,  the government plans, but is not required to make
awards to each of the expected four bidders,  and will use the best value method
of evaluating bids. Under this method,  the highest rated bidder receives 35% of
total pairs, the second highest rated bidder gets 25%, and the other two bidders
receive 20% each. Under best value, bidders are rated on their past performance,
quality  history and other  criteria,  and bid prices are not the most important
factor. Since this bidding process is competitive,  management cannot state with
absolute  certainty that Wellco will receive a contract award or what percent it
will be awarded. For the current contract, Wellco is the 25% supplier.

Contracts  awarded from the new solicitation  will provide for a base year award
and four option years.  Prior to each option's  exercise,  the  government  will
evaluate each contractor's performance during the prior period and will make the
35%/25%/20%/20% option award based on that evaluation,  with the best performing
contractor getting the greater percent.

Since 1992,  the  government  has been reducing its inventory of combat boots by
buying  fewer pairs than were  consumed.  The current  solicitation  establishes
total  minimum and maximum  pairs to be ordered for each year of the contract of
703,220 and 1,055,828. These amounts are less than estimated consumption and are
less  than  the  total  annual  pairs   ordered   under  the  current   contract
(approximately  1,108,000  pairs).  The government has stated that their intent,
but not their binding commitment, to purchase total annual pairs of combat boots
equal to 78% of  consumption,  which  would be  approximately  880,000  based on
estimated  consumption.  In  addition,  during the first  year of new  contracts
resulting from this  solicitation,  the government will buy an additional  total
205,000  pairs of the desert  combat boot which will be used to  establish a war
reserve stock. The Company  estimates that the government will reach its desired
inventory level between

                                      -13-

<PAGE>



the  fourth and fifth year of the  contract,  at which time we expect  orders to
increase  to the  level of  consumption.  The  effect  of  reduced  total  pairs
purchased on future operating results will depend on many factors, with per pair
price and the percent awarded to Wellco being the major ones.

Wellco has also bid on three  other U. S.  government  contracts,  with two bids
being for boot products  constructed  with processes  other than those presently
used  by  the   Company,   and  one  being  to   provide   certain   specialized
footwear-related services to U. S. Military personnel. If awarded some or all of
these  contracts,  the Company's  military  boot  manufacturing  operations  and
services related thereto would be increased.  Although  confident for success in
at least one of these bids, management cannot state with absolute certainty that
Wellco will receive any contract prior to its actual award.

On September 30, 1996,  Wellco was awarded a contract from a state to provide an
estimated 45,000 pairs of six inch work shoes.   Deliveries  under this contract
are for the period October, 1996 through September, 1997.

Wellco  has also  received  notification  of intent to award a  contract  to its
machinery and licensing subsidiary,  Ro-Search,  Inc., for the installation of a
footwear manufacturing  facility at a domestic location. Ro-Search also received
indications,  but no  confirmed  order,  that its oldest  customer  will be soon
confirm an order for footwear  molds which will be the largest single order ever
placed with Ro-Search . Performance under both of these will be primarily in the
1998 fiscal year.

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.  In September,  1996,  the
government  committed  funds  to  the  second  phase.  We  understand  that  the
government  is presently  summarizing  the results of their testing of phase one
prototype  boots,  and we expect  performance  on phase two to start soon and be
completed this summer.

Except for  historical  information,  this Form 10-Q  includes  forward  looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties,  including, but not limited to,
the  receipt  of  contracts  from  the U.  S.  government  and  the  performance
thereunder,  the  ability to control  costs under  fixed  price  contracts,  the
cancellation  of  contracts,  and other risks  detailed from time to time in the
Company's  Securities and Exchange Commission  filings,  including Form 10-K for
the year  ended  June 29,  1996.  Actual  results  may  differ  materially  from
management expectations.

Comparing The Three Months Ended December 28, 1996  and December 30, 1995:

Because  the stock  repurchase  occurred on December  29,  1995,  the prior year
quarter reflects the non-recurring items mentioned above (the Loss in Affiliate,
the Stock Repurchase Charge and the significant investment income). Before these
non-recurring  items,  dividend and interest income and income taxes,  the prior
period had a loss of $40,000 compared to income of $246,000 in the current three
month period.

The same factors  discussed above that effected the six month period  comparison
are the major ones affecting the three month period comparison.  Pairs of combat
boots sold to the U. S. government  increased  approximately 21,000 pairs (about
43%),  which was primarily  caused by the shorter delivery period for the second
option.  The $30,000  adjustment  to  previously  recorded  estimates of certain
contract  actions and the $32,000  interest on the stock repurchase note payable
both occurred in the current three month period.


                         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.

</TABLE>

Accounts  receivable  decreased because of some improvement in the timeliness of
the U. S.  government's  payments  and because of the  receipt of payments  from
certain  significant  June 29, 1996  receivables.  A build up of  inventories in
anticipation  of  the  award  for  a  new  contract  with  the  U.S.  government
substantially  offset the cash provided from the accounts  receivable  decrease.
The payment in December 1996 of certain short term deferred  compensation caused
the net $222,000  decrease in cash. The inventory  build up has continued  since
December 28, 1996 and has required more cash. It is likely that short term funds
will be needed  from the bank line of credit  before the  contract  is  awarded,
boots are shipped and the government pays the related invoices.

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 2 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements  provides
information  about a commitment  to make  additional  cash payments from a stock
repurchase,  with the amount of payments  contingent upon net income 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 31, 1997.
