                            WELLCO ENTERPRISES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE FISCAL NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2000
                 ----------------------------------------------


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      Recent Statement of the Financial Accounting Standards Board

      In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting     Standards  Board issued  the
      Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 133,Accounting for
      Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 133  standardize
      the  accounting for  derivative instruments,  including certain derivative
      instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts,  by  requiring that an entity
      recognize  those  items  as  assets  or  liabilities  in  the statement of
      financial  position  and  measure  them  at  fair value.  SFAS No. 133 was
      amended by SFAS No. 137 to make the  provisions of SFAS No. 133  effective
      for  the  Company's  first fiscal  quarter of  the 2001  fiscal year.  The
      Company has not yet  determined the  impact of the  implementation of this
      standard on its financial statements.


2.    LINES OF CREDIT:

      The bank line,  which expires December 31, 2000 can be renewed annually at
      the bank's discretion. This line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on
      all  machinery  and  equipment  (carrying  value  of  $2,135,000)  and all
      non-governmental accounts receivable and inventory ($1,458,000).  At April
      1, 2000,  borrowings on the line of credit were $2,845,000 with $1,155,000
      available in additional borrowings.

      The bank credit agreement contains, among other provisions, defined levels
      of net worth and current ratio requirements. The Company was in compliance
      with the loan  covenants at April 1, 2000.  The  covenants  are subject to
      review at the end of each fiscal quarter.

3.    RESTRUCTURING AND REALIGNMENT COSTS:

      In February, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to
      consolidate and realign the Company's footwear  manufacturing  operations.
      Under this plan,  the  Company  consolidated  substantially  all  footwear
      manufacturing operations in Aguadilla,  Puerto Rico, where the Company has
      had operations since 1956.

      The execution of this plan,  which started in early May 1999,  resulted in
      the elimination of 77 employment  positions at the Company's  Waynesville,
      North Carolina  facility,  and in the transfer of a significant  amount of
      Waynesville  machinery and materials to  Aguadilla.  Approximately  80 new
      personnel were added and trained in Aguadilla and the Aguadilla operations
      have been moved to a larger  facility  which  incorporates  the operations
      transferred from Waynesville.

      Reconciliations  of the  Restructuring  and Realignment  Costs and accrual
      activity during fiscal year 1999 and fiscal nine months and quarter ending
      April 1, 2000 are as follows:

for certain costs  incurred  related to contract  performance  during the fourth
quarter of the 1997  fiscal  year and the first two  quarters of the 1998 fiscal
year.  Wellco  maintained  that it was due  reimbursement  for costs incurred in
performing in accordance with a prior DSCP interpretation of the contract.  This
interpretation  was later  changed to the  detriment  of Wellco.  The  Agreement
provided that any  disagreement  between Wellco and DSCP on an item of cost will
be subject to binding arbitration.

In October,  1998, DSCP agreed to pay Wellco $246,000 under this Agreement.  The
1998 fiscal year  Consolidated  Statements  of Operations  included  $226,000 of
income related to this claim,  representing  the agreed to $246,000 less $20,000
of related costs.  Wellco subsequently filed a contract claim for the additional
amount it felt was due under the Agreement.

In January, 2000 the federal government's  Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR)
procedure was used to reach a final and non-appealable  settlement of the claim.
The  Consolidated  Statements of  Operations  for the nine months ended April 1,
2000 include  $203,000  for the  settlement  of this claim,  which is the amount
awarded Wellco by the ADR Judge less related costs.  For the quarter ended April
1, 2000, there were additional legal costs of $12,000.

5.    PENSION PLANS:

Footnote 9 to the Company's 1999 Annual Report  provides  information  about the
Company's  pension  plans  as of June 30,  1999  (the  date of the  most  recent
actuarial  valuation  at the end of the fiscal year 1999).  On July 2, 1999,  77
employees were terminated  related to the  consolidation  of  substantially  all
footwear manufacturing operations in Aguadilla,  Puerto Rico. The information in
Footnote 9 of the 1999 Annual Report included  estimated  pension costs recorded
for the  employee  terminations,  and did not  reflect  the  affect  of  pension
settlement  payments made to these  employees after June 30, 1999. In the second
quarter  of  fiscal  year  2000,  the  Company's  actuary  completed  the  final
calculations  necessary  for updating  this June 30, 1999  disclosure  for these
terminations.

Below  is the  June 30,  1999  pension  information  reflecting  those  employee
terminations (all amounts are in thousands):

The Consolidated  Statements of Operations and  Comprehensive  Income (Loss) for
the 1999 fiscal year  includes as a part of the  Restructuring  and  Realignment
Costs an estimated cost of $431,000  relating to the  curtailment and settlement
of  pension  liabilities  related to these  terminated  employees  ($220,000  of
previously   unrecognized   prior   service  cost  and  $211,000  of  previously
unrecognized actuarial losses). The actuary has computed these actual amounts as
$309,000  ($193,000 for prior service cost and $116,000 for actuarial loss), and
the Restructuring and Realignment Costs shown in the Consolidated  Statements of
Operations  for the nine month  fiscal  period  ended  April 1, 2000  include an
income item of $122,000 adjusting the previously recorded estimate to the actual
amount.

6.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

Comprehensive  income for the nine months and three  months  ended April 1, 2000
was $325,000 and $318,000,  respectively. Net income differed from comprehensive
income as a result of an increase in the minimum pension liability.

7.    EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The  Company  computes  its basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  amounts  in
accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128),
"Earnings  per Share."  Basic  earnings  per share is  computed by dividing  net
earnings by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during the
period.  Diluted  earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during the period plus the
dilutive  potential  common  shares  that would have been  outstanding  upon the
assumed exercise of dilutive stock options.

The following is the  reconciliation  of the numerators and  denominators of the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

                         PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparing The Nine Months Ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999:

Income before income taxes was $498,000 in the fiscal nine months ended April 1,
2000 (the "current period") compared to a loss before income taxes of $1,263,000
in the prior year nine month period ended April 3, 1999 (the "prior period").

The  current  period  includes  restructuring  and  realignment  costs  totaling
$331,000.  These costs relate to a February, 1999 restructuring plan under which
the Company has consolidated substantially all footwear manufacturing operations
at its facility in Aguadilla,  Puerto Rico.  The execution of this plan resulted
in the  elimination  of 77 employment  positions at the  Company's  Waynesville,
North  Carolina  facility,  and in  the  transfer  of a  significant  amount  of
Waynesville machinery and materials to Aguadilla.

As  detailed  in  Note  3  to  the  Consolidated   Financial   Statements,   the
Restructuring  and Realignment  Costs charged against current period  operations
are made up of:

         Restructuring  credit of $ 90,000. In the current period, the Company's
         actuary  completed  calculation  of actual  pension cost for terminated
         employees.  The estimated  cost was  originally  recorded in the fourth
         quarter of the 1999 fiscal year. The actual cost was $122,000 less than
         originally estimated.  In addition, the current period includes $32,000
         for health care costs on terminated employees in addition to the amount
         accrued  at July 3,  1999.  A part of the  severance  compensation  for
         terminated   Waynesville  employees  was  the  continuation  of  health
         insurance for two months past  termination.  The Company is self funded
         for its group  health  insurance,  and  actual  health  care  costs for
         terminated employees were greater than originally estimated.


         Realignment  costs of $421,000  consisting  of: new  employee  training
         costs  ($186,000);  cost  to  move  machinery,  install  machinery  and
         refurbish and prepare  building  ($108,000);  and legal and other costs
         ($127,000).

Also included in the current period is a  non-recurring  income item of $202,000
representing  the  final  settlement  of a  contract  claim  (see  Note 4 to the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  In January, 2000 the federal government's
Alternative  Disputes  Resolution  procedure  was  used to  reach  a  final  and
non-appealable  settlement  of a contract  claim Wellco filed  against the U. S.
government.  In the  1998  fiscal  year,  when  this  claim  originated,  Wellco
recognized an income item of $226,000, which represented the amount of the claim
acknowledged and paid by the government.

Restructuring  and  Realignment  Costs charged  against prior period  operations
total $589,000 and are made up of $545,000 employee  severance costs and $25,000
of other restructuring costs, and $19,000 of realignment costs.

Revenues in the current period were $2,413,000 greater than in the prior period.
The primary reason for this increase was a significant increase in the number of
pairs of combat boots shipped  under  contract  with the U. S.  government.  For
several years the government  has been reducing its depot  inventories of combat
boots by purchasing  from  contractors  fewer pairs than were consumed.  For the
past two  years,  they have  accelerated  the  inventory  reduction  by  further
reducing  purchases  from  contractors.  The Company  attributes the increase in
pairs shipped to the government to the substantial  completion of this inventory
reduction program.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>


The increase in revenues resulted in a $1,270,000  increase in cost of sales and
services.  The margin resulting from subtracting cost of sales and services from
revenues increased $1,143,000. This margin increase resulted primarily from:

         The overall  reduction of costs from the consolidation of substantially
         all manufacturing operation in Puerto Rico.
         Semi-variable  costs not  increasing  in  proportion to the increase in
         revenues.

A decrease in the number of  administrative  employees  was the  primary  reason
general and administrative expenses decreased by $155,000.

Sales of boot  manufacturing  equipment and materials to licensees  decreased in
the current  period.  These sales vary with the needs of existing  licensees and
the licensing of new customers.  In addition, the sale of lacing system hardware
decreased  because of lower  customer  sales of boots using this  hardware,  the
closing of one  customer's  factory and a change in  warehousing  procedures  at
another customer.

The income tax rate (the percent of Provision  (Benefit) for Income Taxes to the
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes) in the current period was 19% compared to 36%
in the prior period. The Company expects a lower income tax rate for fiscal year
2000 because  more of its  consolidated  income will be from  earnings in Puerto
Rico which are  substantially  exempt from both  Puerto Rico and federal  income
taxes.

Forward Looking Information:

For several years, the U. S. government has been reducing its depot  inventories
of DMS  combat  boots by  purchasing  from  contractors  fewer  pairs  than were
consumed. For the last two years, they have accelerated the reduction. As stated
above, Wellco believes the government has substantially  completed its inventory
reduction program.

Wellco recently completed shipments under the second option year of its DMS boot
contract which covered the period from April 16, 1999 to April 15, 2000.  During
this option year, the government  ordered  178,000 pairs from Wellco compared to
126,000  pairs in the prior  option  year that ended April 15,  1999.  The third
option year of this contract was exercised April 16, 2000.

The last option of the current contract to supply the Intermediate Cold Wet boot
(ICW) to the  government  expired on February  25,  2000.  Wellco has  unshipped
orders with required  delivery  dates that will assure  production and shipments
through the end of June, 2000. The government recently issued a new solicitation
for the ICW boot. As with any solicitation, Wellco cannot predict with certainty
its success in receiving a contract from this solicitation.

Since  November,  1998 Wellco has been  supplying a state prison  system with an
inmate work shoe.  During this period,  a prison in that state was  installing a
production   facility  where  inmates  would   manufacture  this  shoe.   Wellco
understands  that this  facility is now  manufacturing  the shoe in  substantial
quantities and will soon start replacing Wellco as the supplier of this shoe.

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 effect of  customers  and vendors not being timely in Year 2000
compliance,  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  July 3,  1999.  Actual  results  may  differ  materially  from
management expectations.

Comparing The Three Months Ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999:

Income  before  income taxes was $488,000 in the fiscal three months ended April
1, 2000  (the  "current  period")  compared  to a loss  before  income  taxes of
$623,000  in the prior year three month  period  ended April 3, 1999 (the "prior
period").

The current period  includes  Restructuring  costs of $19,000.  Realignment  and
Restructuring  costs in the prior year  period  were  $589,000,  the same amount
included in the nine month period discussed above.

As to the contract  claim,  the current period  includes a $12,000  expense item
which  represents an adjustment to previously  estimated  legal costs related to
this claim.

Revenues in the current period were  $1,908,000  more that the prior period.  In
addition to an  increase in DMS combat boot sales,  there was an increase in ICW
boots  sold to the U.  S.  government.  Cost of  sales  and  services  increased
$1,296,000 and general and administrative expenses increased $31,000.

The income tax rate (the percent of Provision  (Benefit) for Income Taxes to the
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes) for current period was 18% compared to 40% in
the prior period.  This decrease was  primarily  caused by a greater  portion of
earnings from Puerto Rico, which are substantially  exempt from both Puerto Rico
and federal income taxes. In addition,  the prior year rate reflects some of the
loss before income taxes being incurred in the Company's Puerto Rico subsidiary.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Wellco uses cash from operations and a bank line of credit to supply most of its
liquidity needs.

The following table  summarizes at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter and
the last fiscal year the amount of cash and unused line of credit:

In June, 1999 a contract modification was received which allowed the shipment of
a significant amount of finished boots from existing inventories. The receivable
from this sale was  collected  in the fiscal  nine month  period  ended April 1,
2000. In addition,  cash from several other large boot  shipments in the quarter
ended July 3, 1999 was received in these nine months.  A  significant  amount of
cash was used to pay down the bank  line of  credit,  increase  work in  process
inventory in Puerto Rico,  pay for costs  related to the  consolidation  of boot
manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico, and to purchase plant and equipment.

Related to the  consolidation of boot  manufacturing  operations in Puerto Rico,
cash was used to make  severance  payments  to  terminated  employees,  purchase
machinery,  to  make  leasehold  improvements,   to  move  machinery  and  train
employees.  In addition,  cash was used to purchase  machinery which will enable
the  Company to expand its  technologies  for its  manufacturing  methods.  This
consolidation  of boot  manufacturing  operations  is now  completed and will no
longer be a user of cash.

The bank line of credit,  which provides for total borrowing of up to $4,000,000
will be subject to renewal on December 31, 2000.  The amount  outstanding  under
this line at April 1, 2000 was $2,845,000,  a reduction of $635,000 from July 3,
1999. The Company will continue  relying on this bank line of credit and expects
the average  amount  borrowed  under this line to be less in the future than the
last few years.

The Company has no other material commitments for capital equipment. The Company
believes the  continuation of improved  operating  results will likewise improve
its liquidity.  Other than this, the Company does not know of any other demands,
commitments,   uncertainties,  or  trends  that  will  result  in  or  that  are
reasonablely  likely to result in its liquidity  increasing or decreasing in any
material way.

         Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company does not have any  financial  instruments  or  derivative  commodity
instruments that requires disclosures.
