              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FOOTNOTES

     As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission instructions to
Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not
contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial
statements.  Reference should be made to the notes to the Company's year-end
financial statements contained in its Annual Report to Shareholders for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     The financial information included in this report has been prepared by
the Company, without audit, and should not be relied upon to the same extent as
audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial
information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are
normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

     In March 1996, the Company acquired, through merger, the outstanding
common stock of three commercial floorcovering contractors -- Earl W. Bentley 
Operating Co., Inc., based in Oklahoma, Quaker City International, Inc., based
in Pennsylvania, and Superior Holding Inc., based in Texas -- for approximately
$14,219,000, in the aggregate (comprised of $5,219,000 in cash and $9,000,000 
in Interface Class A Common Stock).  The acquisitions were accounted for as 
purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in the 
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisitions.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets was 
approximately $10.6 million, and is being amortized over 30 years.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     In February 1996, the  Company acquired the outstanding common stock of 
Renovisions, Inc., a nationwide installation services firm (based in Georgia) 
that has pioneered a new method of carpet replacement, for approximately 
$5,000,000 in cash.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and
accordingly, the results of operations are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The excess of
the purchase price over the fair value of net assets was approximately $3.2 
million, and is being amortized over 30 years

     In February 1996, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
C-Tec, Inc., a Michigan based producer of raised/access flooring systems, 
for approximately $8,750,000 (comprised of $4,500,000 in cash and $4,250,000 
in 6% subordinated notes).  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and, accordingly, the results of operations for C-Tec are included in the 
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The 
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets was 
approximately $3.2 million, and is being amortized over 30 years


NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

     Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income applicable to
common shareholders by the combined weighted average number of shares of Class
A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the particular reporting period.
The earnings computation does not give effect to a negligible dilutive impact 
of outstanding stock options.  The Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred 
Stock issued in June 1993 is not considered to be common stock equivalents.  In
computing primary earnings per share, the preferred stock dividend of 7% per
annum reduces income applicable to common shareholders.  For the purposes of 
computing earnings per share and dividends paid per share, the Company is
treating as treasury stock (and therefore not outstanding) the shares that are
owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary (3,600,000 Class A shares, recorded at
cost).


NOTE 5 - SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Guarantor Subsidiaries, which consist of the Company's principal
domestic subsidiaries, are guarantors of the Company's 9.5% senior subordinated
notes due 2005. The Supplemental Guarantor Financial Statements are presented
herein pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  For the three month period ended March 31, 1996,
the Company's net sales increased $13.7 million (7.2%) compared with the same
period in 1995.  The increase was primarily attributable to (i) increased sales
volume in the Company's carpet tile operations in the United States,
Continental Europe and Australia; (ii) increased sales volume in the Company's
interior fabrics operations associated with the acquisitions of Toltec Fabrics,
Inc. in June 1995, and the Intek division of Springs Industries in December
1995, and (iii) increased sales volume in the Company's specialty resources
division associated with the acquisition of C-Tec, Inc. in February 1996. These
increases were offset somewhat by a decrease in sales volume in the Company's
broadloom carpet businesses, coupled with the weakening of the currencies of
certain key markets (particularly the British pound sterling, Dutch guilder and
Japanese yen) against the U.S. dollar, the Company's reporting currency.

     Cost of sales remained constant as a percentage of sales for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 when compared with the same period in 1995.  The
Company recognized a decrease in manufacturing costs in its floorcovering
operations due to continued implementation of its make-to-order production
strategy and the "war-on-waste" program, which created manufacturing
efficiencies as well as a shift to higher margin products.  These benefits were
somewhat offset by the acquisitions of Toltec, Intek and C-Tec, which,
historically, had higher cost of sales ratios than the Company.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
increased to 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 23.5%
for the same period in 1995.  The increase was attributable to (i) start-up and
administrative expenses associated with Re:Source Americas, the Company's new
U.S. network of commercial floorcovering distributors, (ii) increased marketing
and sampling expenses associated with the introduction of new products as the
Company moves to implement a mass customization strategy in its European carpet
tile and U.S. broadloom operations, (iii) the acquisitions of Toltec Fabrics
and Intek which, historically, had higher SG&A expense ratios than the Company.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's other expense
increased $0.7 million compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to an
increase in bank debt incurred as a result of the Company's acquisitions, and
increased interest rates resulting from the issuance of the Company's Senior
Subordinated notes in November 1995 and subsequent redemption of the Company's
convertible subordinated debentures.

     As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company's net income (after
adjustment for preferred dividends) decreased 8.6% to $3.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $3.6 million for the same 
period in 1995.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  The primary uses of cash during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 have been (i) $19.0 million associated with
acquisitions, (ii) $10.1 million for additions to property and equipment in the
Company's manufacturing facilities, (iii) $5.0 million related to various
deposits and long-term note receivables, and (iv) $2.6 million for operating
activities.  These uses were funded by $34.5 million from long-term financing.

     The Company, as of March 31, 1996, recognized a $5.6 million decrease in
foreign currency translation adjustment compared to that of December 31, 1995.
The decrease was associated primarily with the Company's investments in
subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. The 
translation adjustment to shareholders' equity was converted by the guidelines
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 52.

     The Company employs a variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments,
including foreign currency swap agreements and foreign currency exchange
contracts, to reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $65.3 million (notional amount) of foreign currency hedge
contracts outstanding, consisting principally of currency swap contracts to
hedge firmly committed Dutch guilder and Japanese yen currency revenues. At
March 31, 1996, the Company utilized interest rate swap agreements to
effectively convert approximately $73 million of variable rate debt to fixed
rate debt.  At March 31, 1996, the weighted average rate on borrowings was
6.9%.  The interest rate swap agreements, have maturity dates ranging from nine
to twenty-four months.

     The Company continually monitors its position with, and the credit quality
of, the financial institutions which are counterparties to its off-balance
sheet financial instruments and does not currently anticipate nonperformance by
the counterparties.

     Management believes that the cash provided by operations and available
under long-term loan commitments will provide adequate funds for current
commitments and other requirements in the foreseeable future.
