Wellco Enterprises, Inc. (AMEX:WLC) today reported net income for
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 (current quarter), which,
ended July 2, 2005 of $780,000 equivalent to basic earnings per
share of $0.62 ($0.60 diluted), from revenues of $11,226,000. This
compares to net income $858,000 equivalent to basic earnings per
share of $0.70 ($0.66 diluted), from revenues of $14,174,000 in the
prior year fiscal fourth quarter (prior quarter) that ended July 3,
2004. Compared to the prior quarter, total revenues in the current
quarter decreased by $2,948,000. In the current quarter the Company
shipped 29,000 pairs of the Army Combat Boot-Hot Weather (formerly

quarter. In the current quarter the Company shipped 81,000 pairs of
the Army Combat Boot-Temperate Weather (formerly known as the ICB
boot) compared to 55,000 pairs in the prior quarter. Shipments of
Hot Weather boots in the prior quarter were under the Defense
Department's surge option, primarily to meet the urgent need in
Iraq. The surge need was substantially met by the end of the first
quarter of fiscal year 2005. In addition, for the second year of
the related contract, which ends September 30, 2005, the Company
was informed on August 29, 2005 that its allocation was reduced
from 30% of total Hot Weather boot purchases to 15%. The overall
gross profit margin between the two quarters was consistent at 16%.
General and administrative expenses decreased $397,000 primarily
due to a decrease in administrative compensation. The majority of
the Company's boot manufacturing operations occur at the factory of
a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Puerto Rico. The Company is
participating in a Puerto Rican government program to assist
manufacturers in the training of new or expanded work force under
which the Company is reimbursed for part of the compensation paid
to certain employees. Under this program, the Company received and
recognized as revenues $220,000 in the current quarter. In the
prior quarter, no reimbursements were received. The Company's
policy is to recognize the reimbursement in the period that it is
received. For the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005 (current fiscal
year), net income was $1,907,000, equivalent to basic earnings per
share of $1.51 ($1.47 diluted), from revenues of $50,467,000. This
compares with net income of $2,448,000, equivalent to basic
earnings per share of $2.04 ($1.97 diluted) from revenues of
$45,693,000 for the prior fiscal year ended July 3, 2004 (prior
fiscal year). Compared to the prior fiscal year, total revenues in
the current fiscal year increased by $4,774,000. In the current
fiscal year the Company shipped 324,00 pairs of the Temperate
Weather boot compared to 75,000 pairs in the prior fiscal year. In

year. The overall gross profit margin for fiscal year 2005 was 10%
compared to 14% for the prior fiscal year. General and
administrative expenses decreased $292,000. In the current fiscal
