                        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION


         The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations
are based on the historical financial statements of Flowers Industries, Inc.
("Flowers"), Keebler Foods Company ("Keebler") and President International, Inc.
("President") during the periods presented, adjusted to give effect to the
acquisition of President. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of President
as of September 26, 1998 was consolidated with the Flowers unaudited
consolidated balance sheet at October 10, 1998 and included in the Flowers
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on November 20, 1998.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the
forty weeks ended October 10, 1998 and the fifty-two weeks ended January 3, 1998
give effect to the acquisition of President as if it had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented. The adjustments are described in the
accompanying notes and are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not
purport to represent what Flowers' results of operations would actually have
been had the acquisition of President in fact occurred on such date or to
project Flowers' results of operations for any future period.
