                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (UNAUDITED)
             ---------------------------------------------------------------
         1.  Basis of Presentation

                  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  Company's  1994 Annual  Report on Form 10-K.  In the
         opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited financial statements
         contain  all  adjustments  necessary  to present  fairly the  Company's
         financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows at the dates
         and for the periods  presented.  Interim  results of operations are not
         necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected for a full year.
         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
         current period presentation.

         2.  Inventories

                  The  Company  uses the  last-in,  first-out  (LIFO)  method of
         valuing  substantially  all  of  its  domestic  inventories.   If  LIFO
         inventories  were valued at current costs,  the inventories  would have
         been  $5,312,000  lower at September 30, 1995 and  $5,598,000  lower at
         December 31, 1994. The Company  computes the LIFO inventory amount on a
         quarterly basis after considering  anticipated  prices,  quantities and
         product mix as of period-end.  The Company's  foreign  inventories  are
         valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

         3.  Acquisitions

                  On January 9, 1995,  the Company  acquired  through its wholly
         owned subsidiary,  Carpets International (U.K.) Plc,  substantially all
         of the  operating  assets of the Carpets  Division of Coats Viyella Plc
         for $29,503,000.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase,  and
         accordingly,  the  purchase  price  has been  allocated  to the  assets
         acquired and  liabilities  assumed  based on  management's  estimate of
         their fair values as of the acquisition date.
                  On May 31,  1994,  the  Company  formed a joint  venture  (The
         "Terza 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  primarily  in  Mexico  and South
         America. The Company originally acquired a 50.3 percent interest in the
         Terza  Joint  Venture  for  $14,050,000,  and  accordingly,  the  joint
         venture's  financial  statements were  consolidated  with the Company's
         financial  statements  at December 31, 1994 and for the period from the
         acquisition date (May 31, 1994) to December 31, 1994. Effective January
         1, 1995,  the Company  reduced its interest in the Terza Joint  Venture
         from  50.3  percent  to  49.8  percent  and  subsequently  received  an
         investment  reimbursement  of  $550,000.  As a  result,  the  Company's
         investment in the Terza Joint Venture is being  accounted for using the
         equity method.  The  deconsolidation  of the Terza Joint Venture had an
         insignificant effect on the Company's consolidated total assets and net
         sales as of  September  30, 1995 and for the three and nine months then
         ended.


         4.  Accounting Change

                  Effective  January 1, 1995, the Company  changed its method of
         accounting for sample costs from expensing sample costs that exceed the
         estimated net  realizable  value when shipped to expensing that portion
         of  sample  costs  as  they  are  produced.  This  change  was  made in
         recognition  of an increasing  number of samples  placed with customers
         that do not  result in future  sales and to better  control  the sample
         order process.  The cumulative effect of the change was to decrease net
         income by $12,077,000 ($.09 per share), net of income taxes.

         5.  Nonrecurring Plant Shutdown Costs

                  During August 1995, the Company closed a yarn spinning mill at
         its  Australian  subsidiary and recorded a pretax charge of $2,607,000.
         The charge primarily related to termination  benefits for 127 employees
         and  write-downs  of property,  plant and  equipment to net  realizable
         value.  The  operations  of this plant have been  phased  out,  and the
         Company  expects most of the shutdown costs to be incurred prior to the
         end of fiscal 1995.
                  During June 1995,  the Company  made the decision to close two
         of its domestic  yarn  spinning  mills and recorded a pretax  charge of
         $5,401,000.  The charge primarily  related to termination  benefits for
         591 employees and  write-downs of property,  plant and equipment to net
         realizable  value.  The operations of these two plants have been phased
         out, and the Company  expects most of the shutdown costs to be incurred
         prior to the end of fiscal 1995.

         6.  Extraordinary Loss

                  During  June 1994,  the  Company  elected to prepay all of its
         outstanding long-term notes payable with the proceeds from a new credit
         facility at lower interest rates. The early extinguishment of the notes
         payable  resulted in an  extraordinary  loss of  $3,363,000  ($0.02 per
         share), net of income taxes.

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

GENERAL
         The Company's business, as well as the U.S. 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 international operations can also be
impacted  by the  economic  climates  in  the  markets  in  which  they  operate
(primarily the United Kingdom,  Australia and Mexico). The Company increased its
operations  in the U.K. in January  1995 by acquiring  substantially  all of the
operating  assets  of the  Carpets  Division  of  Coats  Viyella  Plc  (the  "CV
Acquisition")  for approximately  $29.5 million.  Effective January 1, 1995, the
Company  reduced its  interest in the Terza Joint  Venture  from 50.3 percent to
49.8 percent (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  As a
result,  the Company's  investment in the Terza Joint Venture is being accounted
for using the equity method. The  deconsolidation of the Terza Joint Venture had
an insignificant effect on the Company's  consolidated  financial statements for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
         At  September  30,  1995,  the Company  had  working  capital of $651.3
million, an increase of $34.0 million,  or 5.5 percent,  over working capital of
$617.3 million at December 31, 1994.  Cash and cash  equivalents  increased $8.5
million from $34.4  million at December  31, 1994 to $42.9  million at September
30, 1995. Cash flow provided by operating  activities was $120.4 million for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1995  compared to $76.6  million in 1994.  The
increase  in  operating  cash flow was  primarily  due to a smaller  increase in
inventories  and larger  increases in accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities
than in the  comparable  period of the prior year.  These  items were  partially
offset  by lower net  income.  Cash used in  investing  activities  for the 1995
period consisted of additions to property, plant and equipment of $53.9 million,
the CV Acquisition  for $29.5  million,  and joint venture uses of $7.3 million.
Cash used by  financing  activities  during  1995  consisted  of an  increase in
long-term  debt of $28.2 million  offset by cash  dividends of $30.6 million and
stock repurchases of $20.6 million.
         The  Company  has  continued  to  maintain  a  strong  working  capital
position.  Effective use of capital and the  Company's  ability to generate cash
flow from  operations  has  enabled it to invest in  technologies  which  reduce
production costs,  generate  operating  margins that have historically  exceeded
industry averages and enabled the Company to be a preeminent force in the carpet
industry.
         Capital  expenditures  for property,  plant and equipment  necessary to
maintain the Company's  facilities in a modern  state-of-the-art  condition were
$53.9 million, excluding the CV Acquisition,  for the first nine months of 1995.
Management   anticipates  total  capital   expenditures  and  capitalized  lease
obligations  in the range of $75 to $80  million  during the 1995 fiscal year in
order to maintain its facilities and to expand and upgrade its manufacturing and
distribution  equipment  to meet  anticipated  increases  in sales volume and to
improve efficiency.
         The  Company's  primary  source of financing is an unsecured  revolving
credit agreement with a banking syndicate which provides for borrowings of up to
$620.0 million. Interest on borrowings under this facility is currently based on
LIBOR and  approximated  6.0% at  September  30, 1995.  At  September  30, 1995,
borrowings  outstanding  under this credit facility were $544.0 million.  Of the
total  commitment,  $600.0  million  matures in November  1997 and $20.0 million
matures in December  1995. In addition,  the Company's two foreign  subsidiaries
have  available  credit  facilities  in the U.K. and  Australia,  of which $31.6
million and $62.1 million, respectively, were outstanding at September 30, 1995.
         The Company  believes  that  available  borrowings  under its  existing
credit  agreements,  available  cash  and  internally  generated  funds  will be
sufficient to support its working capital, capital expenditures and debt service
requirements for the foreseeable  future.  In addition,  the Company believes it
could expand its revolving credit and long-term bank facilities, if necessary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared To 
  Three Months Ended October 1, 1994

         Net sales increased $14.3 million, or 1.9 percent, to $748.4 million in
the  third  quarter  of  1995.  The  increase  was  primarily   attributable  to
incremental net sales of $13.6 million related to the CV Acquisition,  offset by
declines in net sales at the Company's other foreign operations. Gross margin as
a percent  of net sales  decreased  2.3  percent to 19.1  percent  for the third
quarter of 1995,  compared  to 21.4  percent in 1994.  The  decline in the gross
margin   percentage  was  primarily  due  to  increased  raw  materials   costs,
competitive  price  pressures,  and  operating  inefficiencies  at the Company's
international operations due to lower production volumes.
         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses for the third quarter of
1995 were $93.3 million  (12.5 percent of net sales),  compared to $95.2 million
(13.0  percent  of net sales) in the  comparable  period of 1994.  The  marginal
decrease  (.5  percent)  as a percent  of net sales was  primarily  due to lower
sample  and  transportation  costs.  The  Company  recorded  nonrecurring  plant
shutdown  costs of $2.6  million  in the third  quarter  of 1995  related to the
closure of a yarn spinning mill at its Australian subsidiary.  Interest expense,
net,  increased  $2.4  million,  or 30.3 percent,  as a result of  significantly
higher  borrowings  due primarily to stock  repurchases  and the CV  Acquisition
which were offset  somewhat by lower  average  interest  rates on the  Company's
borrowings. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 1995 was 41.2
percent  compared to 38.6 percent in 1994, and the increase was primarily due to
a lower  effective tax benefit rate from foreign  operating  losses in 1995. The
Company  recorded equity in income of joint venture of $240,000 during the third
quarter of 1995 related to its investment in the Terza Joint Venture.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared To 
   Nine Months Ended October 1, 1994

         Net sales increased $86.8 million,  or 4.2 percent, to $2,163.2 million
in the  first  nine  months of 1995  compared  to the same  period in 1994.  The
increase was primarily  attributable  to incremental  net sales of $92.4 million
related to the CV  Acquisition  and an increase  in domestic  net sales of $26.0
million,  offset  in part by  sales  declines  at the  Company's  other  foreign
operations. Gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased 2.9 percent to 18.7
percent for the first nine months of 1995, compared to 21.6 percent in 1994. The
decline in the gross  margin  percentage  was  primarily  due to  increased  raw
materials costs,  competitive price pressures,  and operating  inefficiencies at
the  Company's  international  operations  due to lower  production  volumes and
integration of the CV Acquisition.
         Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the first nine months
of 1995 were  $289.8  million  (13.4  percent of net sales)  compared  to $266.5
million (12.8  percent of net sales) in the  comparable  period of 1994.  The .6
percent  increase as a percent of net sales was primarily due to higher  selling
expenses  related to product  promotion  and  samples.  The Company has recorded
nonrecurring  charges for plant  shutdown  costs of $8.0 million during the 1995
period.  Interest expense,  net, increased $11.1 million,  or 52.3 percent, as a
result of significantly higher borrowings due primarily to stock repurchases and
international  acquisitions which were offset somewhat by lower average interest
rates on the Company's  borrowings.  The effective income tax rate for the first
nine months of 1995 was 41.5 percent,  compared to 37.6 percent in 1994, and the
increase was due to a lower  effective  tax benefit rate from foreign  operating
losses in 1995 and deferred tax adjustments in the 1994 period which reduced the
effective  rate in that period below  statutory  rates.  Equity in income of the
Terza Joint  Venture was $855,000 for the first nine months of 1995.  During the
third  quarter of 1994,  the  Company  recorded  an  extraordinary  loss of $3.4
million,  net of  income  taxes,  related  to the  early  repayment  of  certain
long-term  notes  payable  (see  Note  6  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements).
         Effective January 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of accounting
for sample  costs from  expensing  sample  costs that exceed the  estimated  net
realizable  value when shipped to expensing that portion of sample costs as they
are produced (see Note 4 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  The
cumulative  effect of the change was to  decrease  net income for the first nine
months of 1995 by $12.1 million ($.09 per share), net of income taxes.

NONRECURRING PLANT SHUTDOWN COSTS
         During  August 1995,  the Company  closed a yarn  spinning  mill at its
Australian  subsidiary and recorded a pretax charge of $2.6 million.  The charge
primarily related to termination  benefits for 127 employees and write- downs of
property,  plant and equipment to net realizable  value.  The operations of this
plant have been phased out, and the Company  expects most of the shutdown  costs
to be incurred prior to the end of fiscal 1995.
         During  June  1995,  the  Company  announced  plans to close two of its
domestic yarn spinning mills. As a result,  the Company recorded a pretax charge
of $5.4 million related primarily to termination  benefits for 591 employees and
write-downs  of property,  plant and  equipment  to net  realizable  value.  The
production of these two mills will be consolidated with the Company's other yarn
spinning facilities. The operations of these mills have been phased out, and the
Company did not experience any disruption to its  consolidated  operations.  The
Company  expects  to  realize  future  savings  as a result of the  closure  and
consolidation of these facilities.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS
         Beginning  in early 1993 and  continuing  into 1995,  the  Company  has
expanded its operations  through  acquisitions in Australia,  the United Kingdom
and Mexico.  The Company's primary foreign  operations are conducted through its
U.K. and Australian  subsidiaries,  where the functional  currencies are British
pounds  and  Australian  dollars,  respectively.  Fluctuations  in the  value of
foreign  currencies  create  exposures which can impact the Company's  operating
results.  The Company may employ foreign  currency  forward  exchange  contracts
when,  in the normal  course of business,  they are  determined  to  effectively
manage  and reduce  such  exposure.  The  Company  does not enter  into  foreign
currency forward exchange contracts for speculative trading purposes.

                       PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM ONE - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         From time to time,  the Company is subject to claims and suits  arising
in the course of its business.  The Company is 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.  The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and
that the  litigation  will not have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's
financial  condition  or results of  operations.  In June 1994,  the Company and
several  other  carpet  manufacturers  received  grand jury  subpoenas  from the
Antitrust  Division of the United States  Department  of Justice  relating to an
investigation   of  the  industry.   The  Company   believes  that,   once  this
investigation  is completed,  it will not have a material  adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
