                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    JANUARY 1, 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 January 1, 1994 and the results of operations for
      the three and six months then ended and cash flows for the six months then
      ended.  These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  The results
      of operations for the six months ended January 1, 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 $8,061,000 and $5,984,000 lower at January
      1, 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 six months ended January 1, 1994 and
      December 26, 1992 were as follows:

                                  Three Months Ended
                        January 1, 1994          December 26, 1992

    Fully diluted          145,575,368         136,320,034

                                       Six Months Ended
                              January 1, 1994         December 26, 1992

      Primary                   145,256,565              135,430,010

      Fully diluted             145,287,939              135,552,350


      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 Shaw'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., ("CCI")
      Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and Invicta Group Industries, Pty., Ltd.,
      Braybrook, Victoria, Australia, 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 Shaw Industries, Inc. for the three and six
      months ended January 1, 1994 and December 26, 1992, respectively.

              On January 9, 1994, the Company announced that it had 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 rate of improvement in business activity for the industry slowed
      during the quarter ended January 1, 1994.  However, there are expectations
      for stronger business conditions during the spring and summmer of 1994.


              The Company's working capital at January 1, 1994, of $437.4
      million is comparable to the prior quarter and year-end.  Operating
      activities during the six months ended January 1, 1994, provided a strong
      cash flow to fund investing and financing activities.  Net cash provided
      by operating activities in the six months totaled $101.8 million and
      was provided principally from net income of $63.4 million and depreciation
      and amortization of $42.9 million.  Cash flow used in investing activities
      in the six months  totaled $118.4 million.  Cash was used principally for
      additions to property, plant and equipment of $56.6 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 $2.4 million, cash dividends of $12.9 million, the purchase
      and retirement of common stock of $3.4 million and payments on long-term
      debt of $33.4 million.  The principal source of cash provided by financing
      activities was additional long-term borrowings of $45.0 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 $57.0 million
      for six months ended January 1, 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 $45.0 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
      $50.0 million of which $30.0 million was unused at January 1, 1994.
      The Company believes it could expand its lines of credit and long-term
      bank facilities, if necessary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 1, 1994 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 26,
1992



       Net sales increased $52,778,000, or 9.0 percent, primarily as a result of
incremental sales due to acquisitions which was offset in part by a decrease of
6.0 percent in the average sales value of finished carpet as a result of a lower
sales mix. Results for the three months ended January 1, 1994 included sales
of $57,766,000 attributable to acquisitions as described in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.  Gross profit margins
increased .7 percent to 20.3 percent from 19.6 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 $11,305,000 in the current three
months compared to the same period last year, and increased .8 percent to 12.4
percent of net sales due primarily to continued sales efforts to increase
customer demand in a sluggish economy.  Interest expense, net, decreased
$925,000 to $6,427,000 in the current three months compared to the same period
last year due primarily to a decrease in outstanding short-term borrowings.
Miscellanous income, net 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 from 38.5 percent to 37.1
percent for the current three months compared to the same period last year
primarily due to deferred income tax adjustments.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 1, 1994 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 26, 1992


       Net sales increased $155,472,000 or 13.7% percent, primarily as a result
of an increase in the volume of shipments.  Results for the six months ended
January 1, 1994 included sales of $90,089,000 attributable to acquisitions.
Gross profit margins increased .9 percent to 20.7 percent of net sales for the
current six 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 $21,261,000 in the current
six months compared to the same period last year, and increased .2 percent to
12.0 percent of net sales due primarily to continued sales efforts to increase
customer demand in a sluggish economy.  Interest expense, net, decreased
$2,413,000 to $11,975,000 in the current six months compared to the same period
last year due principally to an decrease in short-term borrowings.
Miscellanous income, net 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 .6 percent to 37.9 percent for
the current six months compared to the same period last year primarily due to
deferred income tax adjustments.

                            PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM ONE - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

            The Company is subject to claims and suits arising in the course of
its business.  In April, 1993, the Company became a defendant in certain
litigation alleging personal injury resulting from personal exposure to volatile
organic compounds found in carpet produced by the Company.  The complaints seek
injunctive relief and unspecified money damages on all claims.  The Company has
denied any liability.  In May, 1993, the Company became a defendant in certain
litigation alleging violation of both federal and state laws relating to unfair
competition.  The complaint seeks an injunction regarding the unfair competition
claims and money damages.  The Company has denied any liability.  The Company
believes that it has meritorious defenses in these suits and that the litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.  The Company will vigorously defend these suits.
