                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      APRIL 2, 1994

                                       (UNAUDITED)

              _______________________________________________________________

1.            The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
      Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
      disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
      condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
      Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
      not misleading.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
      with the financial statements and related notes contained in the 1993
      Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, the financial
      statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
      financial position as of April 2, 1994 and the results of operations for
      the three and nine months then ended and cash flows for the nine months
      then ended.  These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  The
      results of operations for the nine months ended April 2, 1994 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
      July 2, 1994.

              The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing
      substantially all of its inventories in order to more properly match
      current costs against current revenues, thereby reducing the effects of
      inflation on earnings.  If LIFO inventories were valued at current costs,
      the inventories would have been $9,050,000 and $5,984,000 lower at April
      2, 1994 and at July 3, 1993, respectively.  Certain of the Company's
      physical inventories are taken on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis and
      the Company computes the LIFO inventory amount on a quarterly basis after
      considering anticipated prices, quantities and product mix as of year-end.

              During the quarter ended January 1, 1994, the Company completed a
      two-for-one split of its common stock.  The stock split was effected in
      the form of a 100 percent stock dividend on the Company's common stock,
      which was distributed on December 22, 1993 to owners of record at the
      close of business on December 8, 1993.  For all periods shown, financial
      data have been restated to reflect the split.

2.            The weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings
      per share for the three months and nine months ended April 2, 1994 and
      March 27, 1993 were as follows:

                                  Three Months Ended
                          April 2, 1994        March 27, 1993

    Fully diluted          145,305,967         144,000,352

                                      Nine Months Ended
                               April 2, 1994           March 27, 1993

      Primary                   145,274,235              138,300,692

      Fully diluted             145,290,398              138,452,750


      See Computation of Per Share Earnings - Exhibit 11.

3.            During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company adopted
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting
      for Income Taxes."  SFAS No. 109 requires a change in accounting for
      income taxes to the asset and liability approach.  SFAS No. 109 uses the
      method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
      based on the difference between the financial accounting and tax
      accounting basis of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets or
      liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently
      enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in
      which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be realized.
      There was no cumulative effect resulting from this change.


      Components of the net deferred income tax liability at July 3, 1993 are
      shown below (in thousands):

      Deferred income tax assets:
        Accrued advertising expense not currently deductible          $ 4,576
        Reserve for cash discounts and bad debts                        5,588
        Employee benefit accruals not currently deductible             12,587
        Reserve for returns and allowances                              7,994
                                                                       30,745

      Deferred income tax liabilities:
        Book basis of inventory over tax basis                       (18,995)
        Property tax accrual                                          (1,685)
        Book basis of property, plant and equipment over tax basis   (35,112)
        Other                                                         (2,596)
                                                                     (58,388)

      Net deferred income tax liability                             $(27,643)

      Accrued income taxes include $943,000 of current deferred income taxes at
      July 3, 1993.

4.            On September 25, 1992, the Company acquired Amoco Fabrics and
      Fibers Company's ("Amoco Fibers")  polypropylene carpet fiber inventories
      and manufacturing facilities located in Andalusia, Alabama, and
      Bainbridge, Georgia.  The Company is now producing polypropylene carpet
      fiber at these facilities for both its own use and for sale to other
      manufacturers. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase
      transaction, and accordingly, the results of Amoco Fibers have been
      included in the Company's financial statements since September 26, 1992.



                                         -7-<PAGE>

              On March 31, 1993, the Company acquired Kosset Carpets Ltd., in
      Bradford, England.  This launched the Compan's direct marketing efforts
      into the United Kingdom and European market segments.  Kosset, the largest
      single site manufacturer of carpet in England, produces both tufted and
      Axminster woven products.  The acquisition has been accounted for as
      a purchase transaction, and accordingly, the results of operations of
      Kosset have been included in the Company's financial statements since
      April 1, 1993.



              On July 12, 1993, the Company formed a joint venture through which
      it acquired an interest in Capital Carpet Industries, Pty., Ltd.,
      Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and Invicta Group Industries, Pty., Ltd.,
      Braybrook, Victoria, Australia (together,"CCI"), enabling the Company to
      participate in a government-supported rationalization of the Australian
      carpet industry. On November 4, 1993, the Company acquired the remaining
      interest in the joint venture.  Until November 4, 1993, the investment was
      accounted for using the equity method, and accordingly, the Company
      included its share of CCI's income in other income.  Subsequent to
      November 4, 1993, the results of operations of CCI are included in the
      accompanying financial statements.


              On September 10, 1993, the Company acquired Abingdon Carpets,
      Gwent, Wales.  Abingdon is a British producer of medium priced tufted
      carpets and carpet yarns.   The acquisition has been accounted for as
      a purchase transaction, and accordingly, the results of operations of
      Abingdon are included in the accompanying financial statements since
      September 10, 1993.


              The results of operations of CCI and Abingdon are not material to
      the results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months
      ended April 2, 1994 and March 27, 1993, respectively.


              On January 9, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to form
      a joint venture with Grupo Industrial Alfa, S.A. de C.V. of Monterrey,
      Mexico for the manufacture, distribution and marketing of carpets, rugs
      and related products in Mexico and  South America.  The transaction is
      subject to approval by the Boards of Directors of both companies,
      negotiation of additional agreements and any necessary government filings.

                             SHAW INDUSTRIES, INC.
                ITEM TWO-MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

              The Company's business, as well as the United States' carpet
      industry in general, is cyclical in nature and is significantly affected
      by general economic conditions.  The level of carpet sales tends to
      reflect fluctuations in consumer spending for durable goods, and to a
      lesser extent, fluctuations in interest rates and new housing starts.


              The Company's working capital at April 2, 1994 of $435.2 million
      is comparable to the prior quarter and previous year-end. Operating
      activities during the nine months ended April 2, 1994, provided a strong
      cash flow to fund investing and financing activities.  Net cash provided
      by operating activities in the nine months totaled $96.8 million and
      was provided principally from net income of $88.7 million and depreciation
      and amortization of $64.0 million, offset by other changes in assets and
      liabilities using cash of $55.9 million.  Cash flow used in investing
      activities in the nine months  totaled $172.1 million.  Cash was used
      principally for additions to property, plant and equipment of $99.9
      million, $20.8 million to acquire Abingdon Carpets and $41.6 million to
      acquire CCI in Australia. The principal cash used in financing activities
      was for capital lease payments of $3.4 million, cash dividends of
      $20.8 million, the purchase and retirement of common stock of $3.4 million
      and payments on long-term debt of $40.8 million.  The principal sources
      of cash provided by financing activities were additional long-term
      borrowings of $45.4 million and an increase in short-term notes payable
      of $65.0 million.



              The Company's liquidity condition remains strong.  Conservation of
      capital and the maintenance of a strong balance sheet have enabled the
      Company to become a preeminent force in the carpet industry.  Capital
      expenditures (including capital lease obligations but not including the
      Abingdon Carpets purchase and the Australian purchase) for incremental
      additions and modifications to plant and equipment necessary to maintain
      the facilities in a modern state-of-the-art condition were $100.3 million
      for nine months ended April 2, 1994.  During the remainder of fiscal
      1994, the Company will continue to expand and upgrade its tufting, dyeing,
      finishing, yarn processing, distribution, transportation and materials
      handling equipment to meet an anticipated increase in sales volume and
      to improve efficiency.  Management anticipates capital expenditures and
      capitalized lease obligations of approximately $69.0 million during the
      remainder of fiscal 1994 which will be funded through cash flow from
      operations and, if appropriate, through additional sources of long-term
      capital.  The Company has short-term credit lines with banks aggregating
      $125.0 million of which $40.0 million was unused at April 2, 1994.
      The Company believes it could expand its lines of credit and long-term
      bank facilities, if necessary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1994 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 1993



       Net sales increased $100,808,000, or 19.4 percent, primarily as a result
of incremental sales due to acquisitions.  Results for the three months ended
April 2, 1994 included sales of $65,000,000 attributable to foreign
acquisitions as described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included herein.  Gross profit margins increased 1.0 percent to 20.4 percent
from 19.4 percent for the current three months compared to the same period
last year principally as a result of an improvement in the efficiency
relationship of volume and fixed costs.  Selling, general and administrative
expense increased $11,630,000 in the current three months compared to the same
period last year, but decreased .3 percent to 12.9 percent of net sales.
Interest expense, net, increased $447,000 to $6,423,000 in the current three
months compared to the same period last year due to additional short-term
borrowings, but decreased .1 percent to 1.0 percent of net sales.
The effective income tax rate increased from 36.8 percent to 37.0
percent for the current three months compared to the same period last year
primarily due to deferred income tax adjustments.



NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1994 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 1993


       Net sales increased $256,279,000, or 15.5 percent, primarily as a result
of an increase in the volume of shipments.  Results for the nine months ended
April 2, 1994 included incremental sales of $170,881,000 attributable to
acquisitions. Gross profit margins increased 1.0 percent to 20.6 percent of net
sales for the current nine months compared to the same period last year
principally as a result of an increase in the efficiency relationship of volume
and fixed costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased
$32,891,000 in the current nine months compared to the same period last year,
but remained at 12.3 percent of net sales.  Interest expense, net, decreased
$1,966,000 to $18,398,000 in the current nine months compared to the same
period last year due principally to a decrease in average short-term
borrowings.  Miscellanous income, net, for the current nine months includes a
$2,592,000 gain related to insurance proceeds in excess of book value of several
plants damaged in a major winter storm.  The effective income tax rate decreased
.4 percent to 37.7 percent for the current nine months compared to the same
period last year primarily due to deferred income tax adjustments.

litigation alleging violation of both federal and state laws relating to unfair
competition.  The complaint seeks an injunction regarding the unfair competition
