                            WELLCO ENTERPRISES, INC.
              UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE FISCAL SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 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  standardizes 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 effective  for the Company's  first quarter of the 2001
fiscal year.  The Company has analyzed  contracts  and  instruments  outstanding
during the six months  ended and on December  30, 2000 and has  determined  that
there is no impact from adopting this  standard on its  consolidated  results of
operations or financial position.

2.       LINE OF CREDIT:

The  Company  recently  renewed  its bank line of credit.  Due to the  Company's
increased  cash  from  operations,  the  line was  reduced  from  $4,000,000  to
$3,000,000.  The line,  which expires December 31, 2001, 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   $2,352,000)   and  all
non-governmental accounts receivable and inventory ($1,036,000). At December 30,
2000,  borrowings on the line of credit were $685,000 with $2,315,000  available
for additional borrowings.

The bank credit agreement contains, among other covenants, defined levels of net
worth and current ratio  requirements.  The Company was in  compliance  with all
loan covenants at December 30, 2000.

3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The  Company  computes  its basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  amounts  in
accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 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:

4.       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.  In an
effort to reduce  costs,  the Company  consolidated  substantially  all footwear
manufacturing  operations in Aguadilla,  Puerto Rico,  where the Company has had
operations  since  1956.  At  July  1,  2000,  the  Company  had  completed  its
restructuring plan.

Restructuring and realignment costs (credit) recognized in the fiscal six months
and quarter ending January 1, 2000 were as follows:

5.       CONTRACT CLAIM AND GRANT MONEY RECEIVED:

In November,  2000,  $100,000 was received  from the  government  of Puerto Rico
under a Special  Incentives  Contract which awarded the Company a grant of up to
$400,000 for  reimbursement of costs it incurred related to the consolidation of
footwear   manufacturing   operations   in  Puerto  Rico.   The   receipt,   and
classification in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, of additional
amounts under this Contract is dependent upon audit by and negotiations with the
government of Puerto Rico. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six
months and three  months  ended  December  30,  2000  include an income  item of
$100,000 for the money received from this grant.

In January, 2000 the federal government's  Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR)
procedure  was  used to  reach  a final  and  non-appealable  settlement  of the
Company's  claim  against a  government  contracting  agency.  The  Consolidated
Statements  of  Operations  for the six months and three months ended January 1,
2000 include an income item of $215,000 for the settlement of this claim.


6.       Commitment:

At December 30, 2000, the Company had a $500,000  commitment to purchase capital

                          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 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000:

Income before income taxes was $885,000 for the fiscal six months ended December
30, 2000 (the  "current  period")  compared  to income  before  income  taxes of
$10,000 in the prior year six month  period  ended  January 1, 2000 (the  "prior
period"). The major reasons for the improvement in income are:







         Revenues  increased  $805,000  in the  current  period as  compared  to
         the prior period.  Total pairs of boots  shipped under  contracts  with
         the U. S. government increased 13%.

         Pairs of Direct  Molded Sole (DMS)  combat  boots  shipped to the U. S.
         government  increased  43%. For several years the  government  has been
         reducing its depot  inventories of DMS combat boots by purchasing  from
         contractors fewer pairs than were consumed.  The Company attributes the
         increase in DMS pairs shipped in the first six months of fiscal 2001 to
         the fact that this  inventory  reduction  program was  completed in the
         Company's 2000 fiscal year which ended July 1, 2000.

         However,  pairs  of  Intermediate  Cold/Wet  (ICW)  boots  shipped   to
         the U. S. government  decreased  86%. In August 2000 Wellco   completed
         shipments under a three-year  contract  to  supply  the U.S. government
         with the ICW  boot.  The government is presently evaluating  responses,
         including those of Wellco, to a new ICW boot solicitation.

         Revenues  from sales of boot  manufacturing  equipment and materials to
         licensees  increased in the current  period.  These sales vary with the
         needs of existing licensees and the licensing of new customers.

         Cost of sales and services in the current period was $118,000 less than
         the prior  period.  Cost of sales in the prior  period  includes  costs
         related to factory set up and labor  inefficiencies  of new  employees,
         which  were  related to the  transfer  of  certain  boot  manufacturing
         operations from Waynesville,  North Carolina to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
         These are costs in addition to restructuring and realignment costs.

         The increase in revenues,  combined with the reduction in cost of sales
         and  services,  resulted  in  gross  profit  for the six  months  ended
         December 30, 2000 increasing by $923,000 over the prior period.

         General and  administrative  expenses increased $266,000 in the current
         period. An increased provision for employee bonuses,  which is based on
         the Company's  net income,  was the primary  reason for this  increase.
         Also,  travel costs and military  show  expense  increased  because the
         Company participated in several military shows in the current period.

         In November,  2000, $100,000 was received from the government of Puerto
         Rico under a Special  Incentives  Contract  which awarded the Company a
         grant of up to $400,000 for  reimbursement of costs it incurred related
         to the  consolidation  of footwear  manufacturing  operations in Puerto
         Rico. The receipt,  and  classification  in the Company's  Consolidated
         Financial  Statements,  of  additional  amounts  under this Contract is
         dependent upon audit by and negotiations  with the government of Puerto
         Rico.

                                      -13-







         The prior  period  included a  non-recurring  income  item of  $215,000
         representing  the final  settlement of a contract  claim (see Note 5 to
         the Consolidated Financial Statements).

         The prior year period  included  restructuring  and  realignment  costs
         totaling $312,000. 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. As detailed in Note 4 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements,
         the  Restructuring  and Realignment  Costs charged against prior period
         operations are made up of:

         Restructuring  credit of $ 90,000.  During that 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
         estimated.  In addition, the prior period includes a restructuring cost
         of $32,000 to increase  the amount  previously  accrued for health care
         costs on terminated employees.

         Realignment  costs of $402,000  consisting  of: new  employee  training
         costs  ($186,000);  cost  to  move  machinery,  install  machinery  and
         refurbish and prepare  building  ($107,000);  and legal and other costs
         ($109,000).

The rate of tax provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 30,
2000 was 11%  compared  to a 30% rate of tax for the prior  period.  The current
period income tax rate is lower because of an increase in the estimated  portion
of total consolidated pretax income being from operations in Puerto Rico.


Forward Looking Information:

Wellco is presently  shipping  boots under the third option year of its DMS boot
contract  which  covers the period from April 16, 2000 to April 15,  2001.  This
contract has one more  one-year  option  period  after April 15, 2001.  The U.S.
government has issued a non-binding  letter of intent to exercise the fourth and
final option,  which would cover the year April 16, 2001 through April 15, 2002.
If the government does not exercise this fourth option,  there should be another
solicitation issued to procure boots.

Responses are due on February 20, 2001 to a U. S. government  solicitation which
will result in contracts for the purchase of the Infantry  Combat Boot (ICB) for
the next five years. The solicitation provides for a small annual quantity to be
supplied to the Marine Corps and a larger  quantity that will be supplied to the
Army,  contingent  upon  its  adoption  of the  ICB  boot as  replacement  for a
substantial  portion of its current usage of the all leather combat boot,  which
is one of the boots supplied under the DMS boot contract  mentioned  above.  The
Company plans to respond to this  solicitation.  The Company cannot predict with
certainty  either its success in receiving a contract  award or whether the Army
will  adopt the ICB boot.  This is a  situation  which  could  have a  positive,
neutral or negative effect on future operations.

In August 2000, Wellco completed shipments under a three-year contract to supply
the U. S. government with the  Intermediate  Cold/Wet boot (ICW). The government
recently  made a one year  contract  award,  with a one year option,  to another
company for the ICW boot.  The  government  is presently  evaluating  responses,
including  that of Wellco,  to a ICW boot  solicitation  which  would  result in
contracts  for one year with four one year  options.  As with any  solicitation,
Wellco  cannot  predict with  certainty its success in receiving a contract from
this solicitation.

The Company and a new foreign  customer have  executed an agreement  under which
the Company will supply  certain  machinery  and  materials  for a military boot
factory.  In addition,  the Company and an existing U. S. customer have executed
an agreement  under which the Company will supply  certain new  technology,  and
earn fees which will vary with that customer's use of the related technology.

                                      -14-



The  receipt,  and  classification  in  the  Company's   Consolidated  Financial
Statements,   of  additional  amounts  under  the  Special  Incentives  Contract
mentioned in footnote 5, is dependent  upon audit by and  negotiations  with the
government of Puerto Rico.

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  standardizes 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 effective for the Company's first fiscal quarter of the
2001 fiscal year. The Company has analyzed contracts and instruments outstanding
during the six months  ended and on December  30, 2000 and has  determined  that
there is no impact from adopting this  standard on its  consolidated  results of
operations or financial position.

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 July 1, 2000.  Those statements  include,  but may not be limited
to,  all  statements  regarding  intent,  beliefs,  expectations,   projections,
forecasts,  and plans of the  Company  and its  management.  Actual  results may
differ  materially  from  management   expectations.   The  Company  assumes  no
obligations to update any forward-looking statements.

Comparing The Three Months Ended December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000:

Income  before  income  taxes was  $355,000  in the fiscal  three  months  ended
December 30, 200 (the "current  period")  compared to income before income taxes
of  $249,000  in the prior year three month  period  ended  January 1, 2000 (the
"prior period").

Revenues in the current  period were $472,000  (10%) more that the prior period.
The primary  reason for this  increase was the increase in DMS combat boot sales
which more than offset a decrease in boot manufacturing  equipment and materials
sold to licensees. Cost of sales and services only increased $43,000 because the
prior period includes the factory set up and labor  inefficiencies  stated above
in the six month  comparison.  General  and  administrative  expenses  increased
$184,000.  The primary reasons for this increase was variable  employee bonuses,
the  addition of one  administrative  person,  inflation  increases  in employee
compensation and increased travel costs.

Included in the current period is the $100,000  income from grant money received
from the Puerto Rico  Special  Incentives  Contract  mentioned  in the six month
comparison above.

The prior  period  included  a credit  from  Restructuring  and  Realignment  of
$47,000. As detailed in Note 4 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  this
represents:

         Restructuring credit of $122,000.  As stated in the above discussion on
         the six month  period,  this  represents  the  adjustment  of estimated
         pension costs on terminated employees to actual.

         Realignment costs of $75,000 consisting of: new employee training costs
         ($16,000); cost to move machinery,  install machinery and refurbish and
         prepare building ($20,000); and legal and other costs ($39,000).

Also included in the prior period is the previously  discussed  $215,000  income
item which represents the final settlement of a contract claim.

                                      -15-




The income tax rate (the  percent of  Provision)  for Income Taxes to the Income
Before  Income  Taxes) for  current  period was 6%  compared to 20% in the prior
period.  The current  period  income tax rate is lower because of an increase in
the estimated portion of total consolidated  pretax income being from operations
in Puerto Rico,  and from a reduction in the estimated  fiscal year 2001 overall
income tax rate from that estimated for the first fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2000.

                         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 amounts of cash and unused line of credit:

                                                        (in thousands)
                                         December 30, 2000          July 1, 2000
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Cash                                    $464                   $73
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Unused Line of Credit                  2,315                 2,300
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Total                                 $2,779                $2,373
              ------------------------------------------------------------------


The  increase  in the  unused  line of  credit at  December  30,  2000  resulted
primarily from cash provided by operations during the first six months of fiscal
year 2001,  which was primarily used to pay down the line of credit.  The amount
of unused line of credit at December 30 reflects the $1,000,000 reduction in the
total amount of this credit (see footnote 2).

The following  table  summarizes  the major  sources  (uses) of cash for the six
months ended December 30, 2000:

                                                                (in thousands)
                                                               December 30, 2000
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Net Income Excluding Depreciation and Amortization         $1,193
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Net Change in Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Accounts Payable,
              Accrued Liabilities, and Accrued
              Income Taxes                                                1,054
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Other                                                        (230)
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Net Cash Provided by Operations                             2,017
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Cash Used to Repay Lines of Credit                         (1,015)
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Cash Used to Repay Bank Note Payable                          (36)
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Cash Used to Purchase Plant and Equipment                    (575)
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
              Net Increase  in Cash                                        $391
              ------------------------------------------------------------------

In the six months ended  December  30, 2000,  cash  provided by  operations  was
$2,017,000.  This primarily resulted from net income plus non-cash  depreciation
and  amortization($1,193,000),  a  net  reduction  in  accounts  receivable  and

                                      -16-



inventory  ($952,000).  Cash from  operations was primarily used to pay down the
bank line of credit and purchase equipment.

The  Company  recently  renewed  its bank line of credit.  Due to the  Company's
increased  cash  from  operations,  the  line was  reduced  from  $4,000,000  to
$3,000,000.  The line,  which expires December 31, 2001, can be renewed annually
at the bank's discretion. The amount outstanding under this line at December 30,
2000 was $685,000.  The Company expects to continue to rely on this bank line of
credit.  The Company was in compliance  with all loan  covenants at December 30,
2000.

At December 30, 2000, the Company had a $500,000  commitment to purchase capital
equipment.  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 derivative financial instruments,  other financial
instruments, or derivative commodity instruments that requires disclosures.
