MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

1.   Interim reporting

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Company's description of critical accounting policies, included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.   Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

      In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-1"). The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Jobs Act"), enacted October 22, 2004, provides a tax deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities. FSP 109-1 provides the treatment for the deduction as a special deduction as described in SFAS No. 109. FSP 109-1 is effective prospectively as of January 1, 2005. Currently, the Company projects that the qualified production deduction will result in a benefit of approximately one-half of one percent, which has been reflected in the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2005. Proposed regulations were issued by the U.S. Treasury Department on October 20, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these regulations and will complete its evaluation during the fourth quarter of 2005.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-2"), which provides guidance under SFAS No. 109 with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act on enterprises' income tax expense and deferred tax liability. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FASB Statement No. 109. The Company has not yet completed evaluating the impact of the repatriation provisions and has not adjusted its tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act.

      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs-An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151"). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 151 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Transition may be accomplished using either the prospective or retrospective method. The Company currently measures compensation costs related to share-based payments under APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods under SFAS 123R. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R should be no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Company expects to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006.

      In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" ("FIN 47"), which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

      In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements." SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of this standard, if any, will depend upon accounting changes or errors that may occur in future periods.

      Effective January 1, 2003 the Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires prominent disclosure in both the annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting used and the financial impact of stock-based compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 the Company accounts for stock options granted as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which recognizes compensation cost based upon the intrinsic value of the award.

      If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans, the Company's net earnings per share would have been reduced as follows:

10.  Earnings per share

      The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which requires companies to present basic EPS and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

      Dilutive common stock options are included in the diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method.  Options to purchase common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were 374 and 15 shares for the three month periods ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively and 298 and 12 shares for the nine month periods ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively.

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

      In Shirley Williams, et al. vs. Mohawk Industries, Inc., four plaintiffs filed a purported class action lawsuit in January 2004, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, alleging that they are former and current employees of the Company and that the Company's actions and conduct, including the employment of persons who are not permitted to work in this country, have damaged them and the other members of the purported class by suppressing the wages of the Company's hourly employees in Georgia. The plaintiffs seek a variety of relief, including (a) treble damages; (b) return of any allegedly unlawful profits; and (c) attorney's fees and costs of litigation. In February 2004, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint, which was denied by the Northern District in April 2004.  The Company then sought and obtained permission to file an immediate appeal of the Northern District's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.  In June 2005, the 11th Circuit reversed in part and affirmed in part the lower court's decision.  In June 2005, the Company filed a motion requesting review by the full 11th Circuit. The 11th Circuit refused to hear the case and the Company now has appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to continue vigorously defending itself against this action.

      The Company is also engaged in other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business.

      The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect to the resolution of all such claims and pending litigation and that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, but could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations in a given quarter or year.

13.  Subsequent event

      On October 31, 2005, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Unilin Holding NV (Unilin), a leading manufacturer and marketer of laminate flooring products based in Belgium, for approximately $2,600,000 (€2,200,000) in cash. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2005. The purpose of the acquisition is to broaden the Company's participation in the hard surface flooring market.

      In connection with the acquisition of Unilin, the Company entered into a $1,500,000 364-day senior, unsecured, bridge term loan facility and an approximately $1,500,000 five-year, senior, unsecured, revolving credit and term loan facility (Senior Five-Year Facility). The Senior Five-Year Facility replaces the Company's existing credit facility and various uncommitted credit lines.

      The bridge facility matures 364-days after the closing date of the bridge facility, or October 27, 2006. The Senior Five-Year Facility consists of (i) a $750,000 revolving credit facility, (ii) a $389,220 term loan facility and (iii) a €300,000 term loan facility.  The Senior Five-Year Facility matures on October 28, 2010. At the Company's election, both the bridge facility and Senior Five Year Facility bear interest at (i) the greater of (x) prime rate or (y) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (ii) LIBOR plus an indexed amount based on the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of the Company.

14.  Segment reporting

      The Company has two reporting segments: the Mohawk segment, and the Dal-Tile segment. The Mohawk segment (an aggregation of the Mohawk Flooring reporting unit and the Mohawk Home reporting unit) manufactures, sources, markets and distributes its product lines, which include carpet, rugs, pad, ceramic tile, hardwood, resilient and laminate through independent floor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, commercial dealers and commercial end users. The Dal-Tile segment product lines include ceramic tile, porcelain tile and stone products sold through tile and flooring retailers, contractors, independent distributors and home centers.

      The accounting policies for each operating segment are consistent with the Company's policies described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Amounts disclosed for each segment are prior to any elimination or consolidation entries. Corporate general and administrative expense amounts attributable to each segment are estimated and allocated accordingly. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

      The Company is a leading producer of floorcovering products for residential and commercial applications in the United States. The Company is the second largest carpet and rug manufacturer, and a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of ceramic tile and natural stone, in the United States. The Company has two reporting segments, the Mohawk segment and the Dal-Tile segment. The Mohawk segment distributes its product lines, which include broadloom carpet, rugs, pad, ceramic tile, hardwood, resilient and laminate, through its network of approximately 52 regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using its fleet of company-operated trucks, common carrier or rail transportation. The segment products are purchased by independent floor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, independent distributors, commercial dealers, and commercial end users. The Dal-Tile segment product lines include ceramic tile, porcelain tile and stone products distributed through approximately 260 company-operated sales service centers and regional distribution centers using primarily common carriers and rail transportation. The segment products are purchased by tile specialty dealers, tile contractors, floor covering retailers, commercial end users, independent distributors, and home centers.

      The Company reported net earnings of $108.7 million or diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.61, a decrease of 4%, for the third quarter of 2005 compared to net earnings of $112.7 million or EPS of $1.67 for the third quarter of 2004. The decrease in EPS resulted from continuing raw material and energy cost increases, offset by both volume and price increases when compared to the third quarter of 2004.

      The Company reported net earnings of $272.5 million or EPS of $4.03, up 2%, for the first nine months of 2005 compared to net earnings of $266.2 million or EPS of $3.94 for the first nine months of 2004. The improvement in EPS resulted from selling price increases, better leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales, and growing hard surface sales offset by higher raw material and energy costs.

      The impact of both hurricanes Katrina and Rita have disrupted the Company's supply chain with rising costs of raw material and natural gas. However, the Company believes it will be able to manage its business and maintain customer service levels with its existing inventory levels. In addition, price increases continue to lag behind these increasing costs.

      The Company believes its financial condition remained strong in the third quarter of 2005 as evidenced by the Company's debt to capitalization ratio of 20.7%.

      On October 31, 2005, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Unilin Holding NV (Unilin), a leading manufacturer and marketer of laminate flooring products based in Belgium, for approximately $2.6 billion (€2.2 billion) in cash. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2005. The purpose of the acquisition is to broaden the Company's participation in the hard surface flooring market.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended October 1, 2005, as Compared with Quarter Ended October 2, 2004

      Net sales for the quarter ended October 1, 2005 were $1,697.6 million, reflecting an increase of $167.9 million, or approximately 11.0%, from the $1,529.7 million reported in the quarter ended October 2, 2004. The increased net sales were primarily attributable to price increases and internal sales growth from both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segments. The Mohawk segment recorded net sales of $1,248.2 million in the current quarter compared to $1,129.4 million in 2004, representing an increase of $118.8 million, or approximately 10.5%. The increase was attributable to selling price increases and internal growth. The Dal-Tile segment recorded net sales of $449.4 million in the current quarter, reflecting an increase of $49.2 million, or approximately 12.3%, from the $400.2 million reported in the quarter ended October 1, 2004. The increase was primarily due to internal growth, price increases, and improved product mix.

17




      Gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 was $451.9 million (26.6% of net sales) compared to the gross profit of $436.1 million (28.5% of net sales) for the prior year's third quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the current quarter was unfavorably impacted when compared to the third quarter of 2004 by higher raw material and energy costs. The Company implemented a further price increase during the third quarter of 2005 as a result of raw material and energy cost increases. Price increases have historically lagged behind cost increases. World wide demand for commodities and the impact of the recent hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico continue to impact raw material and energy costs. Continued raw material and energy cost increases may result in further pressure on gross margins.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current quarter were $274.1 million (16.1% of net sales) compared to $243.0 million (15.9% of net sales) for the prior year's third quarter. The increase in percentage was attributable to the timing of selling expenses.

      Operating income for the current quarter was $177.8 million (10.5% of net sales) compared to $193.1 million (12.6% of net sales) in the third quarter of 2004. Operating income attributable to the Mohawk segment was $110.9 million (8.9% of segment net sales) in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $131.4 million (11.6% of segment net sales) in the third quarter of 2004. Operating income attributable to the Dal-Tile segment was $69.1 million (15.4% of segment net sales) in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $62.8 million (15.7% of segment net sales) in the third quarter of 2004. Operating income for both segments has been impacted by increased raw material and energy costs.

      Interest expense for the third quarter of 2005 was $10.8 million compared to $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2004. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to lower average debt levels in the current quarter, offset by higher interest rates.

      Income tax expense was $58.8 million, or 35.1% of earnings before income taxes for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $64.0 million or 36.2% of earnings before income taxes for the prior year's third quarter. The difference in rate was a result of the utilization of tax credits and the one-time effect of state tax law changes.

Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, as Compared with Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004

      Net sales for the first nine months ended October 1, 2005 were $4,815.5 million, reflecting an increase of $410.2 million, or approximately 9.3%, from the $4,405.3 million reported in the nine months ended October 2, 2004. The increased net sales are primarily attributable to price increases and internal sales growth from both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segments. The Mohawk segment recorded net sales of $3,524.5 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $3,265.4 million in the first nine months of 2004, representing an increase of $259.1 million or approximately 7.9%. The increase was attributable to price increases and internal growth. The Dal-Tile segment recorded net sales of $1,291.1 million in the first nine months of 2005, reflecting an increase of $151.2 million or 13.3%, from the $1,139.9 million reported in the first nine months of 2004. The increase was attributable to price increases and improved product mix in all product categories in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the first nine months of 2004.

      Gross profit for the first nine months of 2005 was $1,268.1 million (26.3% of net sales) and represented an increase from gross profit of $1,204.9 million (27.4% of net sales) for the prior year's first nine months. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the current first nine months was unfavorably impacted when compared to the first nine months of 2004 by higher raw material and energy prices.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2005 were $806.1 million (16.7% of net sales) compared to $742.1 million (16.8% of net sales) for the prior year's first nine months. The reduction in percentage was attributable to better leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses.

18




      Operating income for the first nine months of 2005 was $461.9 million (9.6% of net sales) compared to $462.8 million (10.5% of net sales) in the first nine months of 2004. Operating income attributable to the Mohawk segment was $272.2 million (7.7% of segment net sales) in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $300.2 million (9.2% of segment net sales) in the first nine months of 2004. Operating income attributable to the Dal-Tile segment was $196.9 million (15.3% of segment net sales) in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $168.0 million (14.7% of segment net sales) in the first nine months of 2004. Operating income for both segments has been impacted by increased raw material and energy costs.

      Interest expense for the first nine months of 2005 was $35.2 million compared to $41.1 million in the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in interest expense, for the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the first nine months of 2004, was attributable to lower average debt levels and higher capitalized interest offset by higher interest rates.

      Income tax expense was $151.8 million, or 35.8% of earnings before income taxes, for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $150.6 million, or 36.1% of earnings before income taxes for the prior year's first nine months. The difference in rate was a result of the utilization of tax credits and the one-time effect of state tax law changes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.  The Company's capital needs are met primarily through a combination of internally generated funds, bank credit lines, term and senior notes, the sale of receivables and credit terms from suppliers.

      Cash flows generated by operations for the first nine months of 2005 were $328.0 million compared to $196.0 million for the first nine months of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net earnings, depreciation and amortization, an improvement in inventory turns, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

      Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2005 was $201.4 million compared to $85.4 million for the first nine months of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to increased capital expenditures related to capital projects in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the first nine months of 2004 and an acquisition within the Mohawk segment in the first quarter of 2005. Capital expenditures were incurred primarily to modernize, add, and expand manufacturing and distribution facilities and equipment. Capital spending during the remainder of 2005 for both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segments combined, excluding acquisitions, is expected to range from $90 million to $110 million, and will be used primarily to purchase equipment and to expand manufacturing and distribution facilities.

      Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2005 was $126.6 million compared to the net cash used of $110.7 million for the first nine months of 2004. The Company's debt to capitalization ratio was 20.7% at October 1, 2005 compared to 26.2% at October 2, 2004. The Company has repurchased 186,000 common shares during the first nine months of 2005, for approximately $14.5 million. Since the inception of the stock repurchase program the Company has repurchased 11.4 million shares of common stock for approximately $326.1 million.

      At October 1, 2005, the Company had credit facilities of $300 million under its revolving credit line and $50 million under various short-term uncommitted credit lines. All of these lines are unsecured. At October 1, 2005, a total of approximately $258.0 million was available under both the credit facility and uncommitted credit lines.  The amount used consisted of $14.5 million under the Company's five-year revolving credit facility and unsecured credit lines, $55.6 million standby letters of credit guaranteeing the Company's industrial revenue bonds and $21.9 million standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments.

      On October 28, 2005, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion 364-day senior, unsecured, bridge term loan facility and an approximately $1.5 billion five-year, senior, unsecured, revolving credit and term loan facility (Senior Five-Year Facility). The Company entered into both facilities to finance the Unilin acquisition and to provide for the Company's working capital requirements. The Senior Five-Year Facility replaced the Company's existing credit facility and various uncommitted credit lines upon the acquisition of Unilin.

19




      The bridge facility matures 364-days after the closing date of the bridge facility, or October 27, 2006. The Senior Five-Year Facility consists of (i) a $750 million revolving credit million facility, (ii) a $389.2 million term loan facility and (iii) a €300 million term loan facility.  The Senior Five-Year Facility matures on October 28, 2010. At the Company's election, both the bridge facility and Senior Five Year Facility bear interest at (i) the greater of (x) prime rate or (y) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (ii) LIBOR plus an indexed amount based on the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of the Company.

      The Company has an on-balance sheet trade accounts receivable securitization agreement ("Securitization Facility"). The Securitization Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $350 million based on available accounts receivable. At October 1, 2005, the Company had no outstanding amounts under this facility.

Contractual Obligations

      As of October 1, 2005, the Company's contractual obligations have increased by approximately $134 million and $8.7 million, related to operating leases and purchase agreements, respectively, that the Company has entered into since December 31, 2004. There have been no further significant changes to the Company's contractual obligation table as disclosed in the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

      There were no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates during the period. The Company's critical accounting policies and estimates are described in the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

       In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-1"). The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Jobs Act"), enacted October 22, 2004, provides a tax deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities. FSP 109-1 provides the treatment for the deduction as a special deduction as described in SFAS No. 109. FSP 109-1 is effective prospectively as of January 1, 2005. Currently, the Company projects that the qualified production deduction will result in a benefit of approximately one-half of one percent, which has been reflected in the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months of 2005. Final regulations were issued by the U.S. Treasury Department on October 20, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these regulations and will complete its evaluation during the fourth quarter of 2005.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-2"), which provides guidance under SFAS No. 109 with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act on enterprises' income tax expense and deferred tax liability. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FASB Statement No. 109. The Company has not yet completed evaluating the impact of the repatriation provisions and has not adjusted its tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act.

      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs-An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151"). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 151 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

20




      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Transition may be accomplished using either the prospective or retrospective method. The Company currently measures compensation costs related to share-based payments under APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods under SFAS 123R. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R should be no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006.

      In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" ("FIN 47"), which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

      In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements." SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of this standard, if any, will depend upon accounting changes or errors that may occur in future periods.

Impact of Inflation

      Inflation affects the Company's manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The carpet and tile industry has experienced significant inflation in the prices of raw materials and fuel-related costs beginning in the first quarter of 2004. For the period from 1999 through 2003 the carpet and tile industry experienced moderate inflation in the prices of raw materials and fuel-related costs. In the past, the Company has generally passed along these price increases to its customers and has been able to enhance productivity to offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in both the United States and Mexico.

Seasonality

      The Company is a calendar year-end company and its results of operations for the first quarter tend to be the weakest.  The second, third and fourth quarters typically produce higher net sales and operating income.  These results are primarily due to consumer residential spending patterns for floorcovering, which historically have decreased during the first two months of each year following the holiday season.

Forward-Looking Information

      Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies, proposed acquisitions, and similar matters, and those that include the words "believes," "anticipates," "forecast," "estimates" or similar expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, Mohawk claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in industry conditions; competition; raw material prices; energy costs; timing and level of capital expenditures; integration of acquisitions; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; litigation, and other risks identified in Mohawk's SEC reports and public announcements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      The Company's exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

      Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective for the period covered by this report. No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
