              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FOOTNOTES

     As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission instructions to
Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not
contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial
statements.  Reference should be made to the notes to the Company's year-end
financial statements contained in its Annual Report to Shareholders for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the
Company, without audit, and should not be relied upon to the same extent as
audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial
information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are
normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

based in North Carolina -- for approximately $50,895,000, in the aggregate
(comprised of $32,888,000 in cash and $18,007,000 in Interface common stock).
All the  acquisitions were accounted for as purchases with the exception of the
acquisition of B. Shehadi & Sons, Inc. which was accounted for under the pooling
of interests method of accounting; accordingly, the results of operations for
the acquired companies are included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements from the date of the acquisitions with the exception of the
acquisition of B. Shehadi & Sons results of operations which are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the year.  The
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net liabilities was
approximately $29,149,000 and is being amortized over 25 years.

     In February 1996, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
Renovisions, Inc., a nationwide installation services firm (based in Georgia)
that has pioneered a new method of carpet replacement, for approximately
$5,000,000 in cash.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations for Renovisions are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets was approximately
$4,240,000, and is being amortized over 25 years.

     In February 1996, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
C-Tec, Inc., a Michigan based producer of raised/access flooring systems, for
approximately $8,750,000 (comprised of $4,500,000 in cash and $4,250,000 in 6%
subordinated convertible notes).  The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the results of operations for C-Tec are included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net liabilities was
approximately $3,144,000, and is being amortized over 25 years.


NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

     Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income applicable to common
shareholders by the combined weighted average number of shares of Class A and
Class B Common Stock outstanding during the particular reporting period. The
earnings computation does not give effect to the negligible dilutive impact of
outstanding stock options.  The Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
issued in June 1993 is not considered to be a common stock equivalent because at
the date of issuance the stated rate of interest was greater than 66 2/3% of the
AAA bond rate.  In computing primary earnings per share, the preferred stock
dividend of 7% per annum reduces income applicable to common shareholders. 
For the purposes of computing earnings per share and dividends paid per share,
the Company is treating as treasury stock (and therefore not outstanding) the
shares that are owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary (3,600,000 Class A shares,
recorded at cost).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  For the three month and nine month periods ended
September 29, 1996, the Company's net sales increased $71.8 million (35.3%) and
$120.1 (20.1%), respectively, compared with the same periods in 1995.  The
increase was primarily attributable to (i) increased sales volume associated
with the acquisitions of the companies in the Company's newly formed U.S.
distribution network, Re:Source Americas, (ii) increased sales volume in the
Company's floorcoverings operations in the United States, Continental Europe and
Australia; (iii) increased sales volume in the Company's interior fabrics
operations associated with the acquisitions of Toltec Fabrics, Inc. in June
1995, and the Intek Division of Springs Industries in December 1995, and (iv)
increased sales volume in the Company's specialty resources division associated
with the acquisition of C-Tec, Inc. in February 1996. These increases were
offset somewhat by a weakening of the currencies of certain key markets
(particularly the British pound sterling, Dutch guilder and Japanese yen)
against the U.S. dollar, the Company's reporting currency.

     Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased slightly to 68.2% and
68.6%, respectively, for the three month and nine month periods ended September
29, 1996, when compared to 68.7% and 69.1% for the same periods in 1995.  The
Company recognized a decrease in manufacturing costs in its operations due to
continued implementation of its make-to-order production strategy and
"war-on-waste" initiative, which created manufacturing efficiencies as well as
a shift to higher margin products.  In addition to the improved manufacturing
efficiencies, the Company achieved improved pricing in its floorcovering
operations.  These benefits were somewhat offset by the acquisitions of Toltec,
Intek, C-Tec, and the companies comprising the Company's new distribution
network, which historically had higher cost of sales than the Company.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
increased slightly to 24.0% and 23.8%, respectively, for the three month and
nine month periods ended September 29, 1996, compared to 23.3% and 23.4% for the
same periods in 1995.  The increase for the three month period was attributable
to (i) administrative expenses associated with building an infrastructure to
manage Re:Source Americas, (ii) increased marketing and sampling expenses
in the floorcovering operations associated with the introduction of new
products as the Company moves to implement a mass customization strategy in
its European and U.S. operations and (iii) the acquisitions of Toltec
Fabrics and Intek which, historically, had higher SG&A ratios than the Company.

     For the three month and nine month periods ended September 29, 1996, the
Company's other expense increased $1.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1995, primarily due to an increase in bank debt
incurred as a result of the Company's acquisitions, as well as increased
interest rates associated with the issuance of the Company's senior subordinated
notes in November

1995 and subsequent redemption of the Company's convertible subordinated
debentures.

     As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company's net income (after
adjustment for preferred dividends) increased 46.2% to $7.1 million and 22.2% to
$16.0 million, respectively, for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 29, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  The primary uses of cash during the nine
month period ended September 29, 1996 have been (i) $ 46.9 million associated
with acquisitions, (ii) $27.8 million for additions to property and equipment in
the Company's manufacturing facilities, and (iii) $3.4 million related to
various deposits and long-term note receivables.  These uses were funded
primarily by $49.6 million from long-term financing and $23.8 million from
operating activities.

        Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $23.8 million during 
the nine month period ended September 29, 1996 from $55.8 million during the
corresponding period in the prior year.  This decrease was caused primarily by
an increase in accounts receivable, subsequent to the Company's sale of $33.9
million of domestic receivables under a securitization program at the end of
fiscal year 1995.

     The Company, as of September 29, 1996, recognized a $ 7.5 million decrease
in foreign currency translation adjustment compared to that of December 31,
1995.  The decrease was associated primarily with the Company's investments in
subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. The
translation adjustment to shareholders' equity was converted by the guidelines
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 52.

     The Company employs a variety of off-balance sheet financial instruments,
including foreign currency swap agreements and foreign currency exchange
contracts, to reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates.  At September 29, 1996, the Company had
approximately $64.3 million (notional amount) of foreign currency hedge
contracts outstanding, consisting principally of currency swap contracts to
hedge firmly committed Dutch guilder and Japanese yen currency revenues.  At
September 29, 1996, the Company utilized interest rate swap agreements to
effectively convert approximately $73 million of variable rate debt to fixed
rate debt.  The interest rate swap agreements have maturity dates ranging from
nine to twenty-four months.

     The Company continually monitors its position with, and the credit quality
of, the financial institutions which are counterparties to its off-balance
sheet financial instruments and does not currently anticipate nonperformance by
the counterparties.

     Management believes that the cash provided by operations and available
under long-term loan commitments will provide adequate funds for current
commitments and other requirements in the foreseeable future.
