Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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 schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MOHAWK CARPET CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2003 and 2002

(1)        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Mohawk Carpet Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) in preparing its financial statements.

(a)        Basis of Presentation

The records of the Plan are maintained on the cash basis of accounting. The accompanying financial statements of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b)        Investments

Investments in mutual funds, common stock, and common collective funds are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices or as determined by Scudder  Investments (Trustee). Investments in money market funds and loans to participants are stated at cost which approximates fair value. 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 accompanying statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

The Plan provides for investing in numerous funds, which invest in various types of investment securities and in various companies in various markets. Investment securities, generally, are exposed to several risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with the funds, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of the funds will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and supplemental schedule.

(c)        Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Investments in securities are stated at fair value. In addition, management of the Plan believes that the carrying amount of receivables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(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 hourly employees of Mohawk Carpet Corporation (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mohawk Industries, Inc. Effective January 1, 2002, all salaried, sales employees, and nonexempt employees are covered under the Mohawk Carpet Corporation Retirement Savings Plan II (Spin Off Plan). Also, effective January 1, 2002, employees of the Karastan Bigelow Group (KBY) and Lauren Park Mill (LPM) are covered under the Spin Off Plan. Effective January 1, 2003, certain employees of Dal-Tile International Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mohawk Industries Inc., were covered by the Plan (see note 7). Effective November 10, 2003, certain employees of Lees Carpet Division, a division of

MOHAWK CARPET CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2003 and 2002

Mohawk Industries, Inc. were covered by the Plan. 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 the completion of 90 days 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 Scudder  Investments as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the years then ended.

(b)        Contributions

Contributions to the Plan are made by both participants and the Company. Participants may contribute a maximum of 25% of their gross compensation, subject to certain limitations. Participants may allocate their contributions in multiples of 1% to various investment funds of the Plan. For all employees other than employees of Dal-Tile International Inc. and Lees Carpet Division, the Company provides 50% matching contributions up to the first 4% of each participant's gross compensation contributed to the Plan. The Company also provides an additional match of $0.25 for every $1.00 of employee contributions in excess of 4% up to a maximum of 6%. The employer match for participants formerly employed by Dal-Tile International Inc. is 50% up to the first 6% of each participant's gross compensation contributed to the Plan. The employer match for participants formerly employed by Lees Carpet Division is 100% up to the first 3% of each participant's gross compensation contributed to the Plan plus 50% of employee contributions in excess of 3% up to a maximum of 6%.

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. Discretionary employer profit sharing contributions of $2,658,641 and $3,797,000, respectively, were made to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

(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/losses, 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.

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.
