The aggregate market value of the Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the registrant on June 27, 2003 (the last business day of the registrant's most recently completed fiscal second quarter) was approximately $33,900,000. The aggregate market value was computed by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on such date. In making this calculation, the registrant has assumed, without admitting for any purpose, that all executive officers, directors, and holders of more than 10% of a class of outstanding Common Stock, and no other persons, are affiliates. No market exists for the shares of Class B Common Stock, which is neither registered under Section 12 of the Act nor subject to Section 15(d) of the Act.


Indicate the number of shares outstanding of each of the registrant's classes of Common Stock as of the latest practicable date.

                        Class

EXPLANATORY NOTE:


The Registrant is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2003, to correct a typographical error with respect to the basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 contained in the Quarterly Financial Data, Dividends and Price Range of Common Stock table under Item 5. No other information contained in the original filing is amended hereby. This amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-K, or modify or update other disclosures therein in any way other than as required to correct Item 5.




ITEM 5.     MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The Company's Common Stock trades on the National Market System with the NASDAQ symbol DXYN. No market exists for the Company's Class B Common Stock.

As of March 12, 2004, the total number of holders of the Company's Common Stock was approximately 2,800, including an estimated 2,100 shareholders who hold the Company's Common Stock in nominee names, but excluding 1,660 participants in the Company's 401(k) plan who may direct the voting of the shares allocated to their accounts. The total number of holders of the Company's Class B Common Stock was 15.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On November 14, 2003, Gary A. Harmon settled outstanding subscriptions under the Stock Ownership Plan covering a total of 45,714 shares, with an aggregate subscription price of $339,997.88, through the surrender to the Company of 37,988 shares of Common Stock, valued at the market price of $8.95 per share, and payment of $5.28 cash (resulting in the net delivery of 7,726 new shares of Common Stock). We believe that the issuance of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof because this issuance did not involve a public offering or sale. No underwriters, brokers or finders were involved in this transaction.

Quarterly Financial Data, Dividends and Price Range of Common Stock

Following are quarterly financial data, dividends and price range of Common Stock for the four quarterly periods in the years ended December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002. Totals of the quarterly information for each of the years reflected below may not necessarily equal the annual totals. Results for the periods presented have been restated to classify the results of our North Georgia operations sold in November 2003 and in early fiscal 2004 as discontinued operations. The discussion of restrictions on payment of dividends is included in Note H to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
