                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                                        

The Administrator
Mohawk Carpet Corporation
 Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Mohawk Carpet Corporation Retirement Savings Plan ("Plan") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions as of or for the year ended
December 31, 1997, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1997 and 1996


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
     the Plan in preparing its financial statements. The policies are in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     (a)  Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

          The records of the Plan are maintained on the cash basis of
          accounting. The accompanying financial statements of the Mohawk Carpet
          Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") have been prepared on
          the accrual basis of accounting and present the net assets available
          for plan benefits and changes in those net assets.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (b)  Investments
          -----------

          Investments in common trust funds, common stock, money market funds,
          and loans to participants are stated at fair value based on quoted
          market prices or as determined by SunTrust Bank (Trustee). Securities
          transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

          Investments in guaranteed investment contracts are payable on demand
          and are recorded at contract value, which approximates fair value. The
          contractual interest rates and crediting interest rates ranged from
          5.21% to 7.35% at December 31, 1997 and 1996. The average yield on the
          group annuity contracts was 6.86% and 6.05% for the years ended
          December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Guaranteed investment
          contracts are renegotiated at current rates available from insurance
          companies annually on April 1.

          Realized and unrealized investment gains and losses are included in
          net appreciation in fair value of investments in the statement of
          changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

                                                                     (Continued)

(2)  Description of the Plan
     -----------------------

     The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
     Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
     description of the Plan's provisions.

     (a)  General
          -------

          The Plan is a defined contribution plan and covers all employees of
          Mohawk Carpet Corporation (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary
          of Mohawk Industries, Inc. The Plan provides for retirement savings to
          qualified active participants through both participant and employer
          contributions and is subject to certain provisions of the Employee
          Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). During 1997, the Plan
          was amended to allow employees to become eligible to participate in
          the Plan at the beginning of a calendar month after completing one
          year of service rather than specific enrollment dates (any January 1,
          April 1, July 1, or October 1).

          The Plan is administered by an Administrative Committee appointed by
          the Company. The Administrative Committee is responsible for the
          control, management, and administration of the Plan and the assets
          held in trust at SunTrust Bank.

     (b)  Contributions
          -------------

          Contributions to the Plan are made by both participants and the
          Company. Participants may contribute a maximum of 16% of their gross
          compensation, subject to certain limitations. During 1997, the Plan
          was amended to allow participants to allocate their contributions in
          multiples of 1% to various investment funds of the Plan rather than in
          multiples of 10%. The employer makes a 50% matching contribution up to
          the first 4% of each participant's gross compensation contributed to
          the Plan. The terms of the Plan also provide for discretionary
          employer profit sharing contributions to the Mohawk Stock Fund for
          plan participants employed on the last day of the plan year or
          terminated during the plan year on account of death, disability, or
          retirement.

     (c)  Participant Accounts
          --------------------

          Each participant's account is credited with their contribution for the
          period as well as the employer's matching contribution and an
          allocation of any employer profit sharing contribution. Investment
          income, realized gains, employer profit sharing contributions, and the
          change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on plan investments
          are credited to participants' accounts monthly based on the proportion
          of each participant's account balance to the total account balance
          within each investment fund at the beginning of the month.

          Participant contributions may be invested in one or more of the
          investment funds available under the Plan at the direction of the
          participant. During 1997, the Plan was amended to allow monthly
          valuation of accounts rather than quarterly valuation. As a result of
          this amendment, several new investment options were available under
          the Plan. Current investment funds available within the Plan include
          the following:

          Under the terms of the Plan, participants may make hardship

          years of the loan date.

          may elect to receive his distribution in approximate equal
          installments over a period designated by the participant, not to
          exceed the lesser of 15 years or the life expectancy of the last

(5)    Income Tax Status
       -----------------

       The Internal Revenue Service made a favorable ruling on the application
       for determination of qualification submitted by the Company in May 1992.
       The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter and
       the Plan has filed an application for an updated determination letter.
       The administrative committee of the Plan is not aware of any course of
       action or series of events that might adversely affect the Plan's
       qualification under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
       under which the Plan would be subject to tax under present income tax
       law.

(6)   Plan Termination
      ----------------

      While it is the Company's intention to continue the Plan indefinitely, the
      Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                                        

The Administrator
Aladdin Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Aladdin Retirement Savings Plan ("Plan") as of December 31,
1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the six months ended December 31, 1997.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the six months ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions as of or for the six
months ended December 31, 1997, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1997


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
     the Plan in preparing its financial statements. The policies are in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     (a)  Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

          The records of the Plan are maintained on the cash basis of
          accounting. The accompanying financial statements of the Aladdin
          Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") have been prepared on the accrual
          basis of accounting and present the net assets available for plan
          benefits and changes in those net assets.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

     (b)  Investments
          -----------

          Investments in mutual funds and money market funds are stated at fair
          value based on quoted market prices or as determined by SunTrust Bank
          (Trustee). Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date
          basis.

          Realized and unrealized investment gains and losses are included in
          net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments in the
          statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

(2)  Description of the Plan
     -----------------------

     The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
     Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
     description of the Plan's provisions.

     (a)  General
          -------
          
          Prior to June 30, 1997, Aladdin Mills, Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly
          owned subsidiary of Mohawk Industries, Inc., maintained the Aladdin
          Mills, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust. Effective July 1, 1997, the
          Company amended the Plan to add a 401(k) feature to permit employer
          matching contributions, employee pretax contributions, and for other
          purposes. The amendment also changed the Plan's year-end from June 30
          to December 31.


          The Plan is a defined contribution plan and covers all employees of
          the Company. The Plan provides for retirement savings to qualified
          active participants through both participant and employer
          contributions and is subject to certain provisions of the Employee
          Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Employees are eligible
          to participate in the Plan at the beginning of a calendar month after
          completing one year of service.


          The Plan is administered by an Administrative Committee appointed by
          the Company. The Administrative Committee is responsible for the
          control, management, and administration of the Plan and the assets
          held in trust at SunTrust Bank.

                                                                     (Continued)

                        ALADDIN RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

     
     (b)  Contributions
          -------------

          Contributions to the Plan are made by both participants and the
          Company. Participants may contribute a maximum of 16% of their gross
          compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Plan allows
          participants to allocate their contributions in multiples of 1% to the
          various investment funds available under the Plan. The employer makes
          a 50% matching contribution up to the first 4% of each participant's
          gross compensation contributed to the Plan. The terms of the Plan also
          provide for discretionary employer profit sharing contributions to the
          Mohawk Stock Fund for plan participants employed on the last day of
          the plan year or terminated during the plan year on account of death,
          disability, or retirement.

     (c)  Participant Accounts
          --------------------

          Each participant's account is credited with their contribution for the
          period as well as the employer's matching contribution and an
          allocation of any employer profit sharing contribution. Investment
          income, realized gains, employer profit sharing contributions, and the
          change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on plan investments
          are credited to participants' accounts monthly based on the proportion
          of each participant's account balance to the total account balance
          within each investment fund at the beginning of the month.

          Participant contributions may be invested in one or more of the
          investment funds available under the Plan at the direction of the
          participant. The Plan allows for monthly valuation of accounts.
          Current investment funds available within the Plan include the
          following:

                                                                     (Continued)

          Under the terms of the Plan, participants may make hardship
          withdrawals from their accounts upon furnishing proof of hardship as
          specified in the Plan agreement. Participants may also borrow up to
          90% of the value of their employee contribution account subject to
          limitations provided by the Plan. Loans must be paid back to the Plan
          generally within five years of the loan date. As of December 31, 1997,
          there were no participant loan balances due to the Plan.

          Upon termination of employment, the participant's account shall be
          applied toward the purchase of a Qualified Fifty Percent Joint and
          Survivor Annuity, or a Straight-Life Annuity, if the Participant does

          -------

          Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the

          contributions. Participants become vested in the Company's
          discretionary contributions according to the following schedule:

(5)  Income Tax Status
     -----------------

     An application for determination of qualification has been submitted to the
     Internal Revenue Service. Although a favorable ruling on this application
     has not yet been received, the Plan is designed and being operated in
     compliance with Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
     administrative committee of the Plan is not aware of any course of action
     or series of events that might adversely affect the Plan's qualification
     under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and under which the Plan
     would be subject to tax under present income tax law.

(6)  Plan Termination
     ----------------

     While it is the Company's intention to continue the Plan indefinitely, the
     Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at
     any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA and
     the Plan agreement. In the event of Plan termination, participants will
     become 100% vested in their accounts.
