                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net sales for the third quarter, the sixteen weeks ended March 4, 1995, were
$358,240,000, up $21,944,000 and 6.5%, from net sales of $336,296,000 in
fiscal 1994.  Year-to-date sales were also higher at $913,065,000, a 4.4%
increase over 1994's net sales of $874,892,000.  These increases were
attributable to acquisitions, as well as somewhat higher selling prices and
unit volume for bread.  Cake volume and pricing remained soft both for the
quarter and year-to-date.

Cost of products sold was 52.1% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal
1995 compared to 51.3% for fiscal 1994, while year-to-date cost of products
sold was 51.6% compared to 50.6% in the prior year.  These margin declines
were primarily attributable to higher labor and overhead costs associated with
recent acquisitions.  Year-to-date, somewhat higher commodity costs for
certain key ingredients also contributed to the margin erosion.

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1995
increased 5.0% to $149,947,000 from $142,845,000 the prior year, but improved
to 41.9% of net sales from 42.5% the prior year.  Year-to-date selling,
delivery and administrative expenses were $373,861,000, representing 40.9% of
net sales, and a 3.2% increase over the prior year's $362,100,000,
representing 41.4% of net sales.  These favorable variances on a percentage of
net sales basis were primarily attributable to lower labor and labor related
costs.

Depreciation and amortization was up $616,000 for the third quarter and
$1,682,000 year-to-date due to the completion of the new Jacksonville, Florida
bakery and acquisitions.

As a result of these factors, operating income for the third quarter of fiscal
1995 was $11,192,000, an increase of $9,641,000 over the prior year's
$1,551,000, while year-to-date operating income was $41,907,000 compared to
$36,041,000 in fiscal 1994, a $5,866,000 increase.  Fiscal 1994's third
quarter reflects $9,400,000 of other charges, which includes costs incurred in
a plant disposal of $6,700,000 and costs related to environmental matters of
$2,700,000, which reduced both quarterly and year-to-date earnings by
$5,687,000, net of tax, or $.28 per share.

Interest expense for the third quarter was up $797,000, or 17.9%, to
$5,254,000, while year-to-date interest expense increased $1,916,000, or
17.0%, to $13,164,000.  These increases were attributable to higher interest
rates during fiscal 1995, as well as higher debt levels resulting from an
acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and treasury stock repurchases
during the latter half of the prior fiscal year.

Non-deductible goodwill amortization was responsible for the effective tax
rate of 47.8% in fiscal 1995.  This amortization, along with the passage of
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1994, produced an effective year-to-
date tax rate of 52.5% in fiscal 1994.  Fiscal 1994's provision included
$808,000 of expense relating to the cumulative adjustment of the net deferred
tax liability at fiscal 1993 year end and additional taxes payable for fiscal
1993.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net income for the third quarter was $3,096,000, or $.16 a share, versus a
loss of $2,468,000, or $.12 per share, in fiscal 1994.  Year-to-date net
income in fiscal 1995 was $15,045,000, or $.76 per share, compared to
$11,810,000, or $.58 per share, last year.  As mentioned previously, fiscal
1994's third quarter and year-to-date net income included after-tax other
charges of $5,687,000, or $.28 per share.


Changes in Financial Condition                                    
- ------------------------------
Cash generated by operating activities for the forty weeks ended March 4, 1995
was $39,359,000, substantially unchanged from $39,135,000 a year ago.  Cash
generated from operations during fiscal 1995, along with bank borrowings, was
used to fund capital expenditures of $29,886,000, purchase intangibles of
$13,878,000 and pay common stock dividends of $7,365,000.

As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May
28, 1994, cash flows from operations should be sufficient to meet the ongoing
cash requirements in the current year.  Excess cash from operations will be
used to reduce the revolving credit borrowings, fund acquisitions or
repurchase common shares under the Company's share repurchase program.

On April 12, 1995, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Ralston
Purina Company ("RPC") to acquire RPC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental
Baking Company ("CBC") for a purchase price of $220,000,000 in cash and
16,923,077 shares of common stock of the Company.  The closing of the sale is
subject to approval of the Company's shareholders and various regulatory
clearances, and is expected to be completed during the summer of 1995. The
Company has obtained bank commitments to provide funding for the proposed
acquisition, as well as the refinancing of existing bank debt, and is in the
process of negotiating a definitive bank agreement.

interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a
full year.

4.  Proposed Acquisition
- ------------------------
On April 12, 1995, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Ralston
Purina Company ("RPC") to acquire RPC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental
Baking Company ("CBC"), for a purchase price of $220,000,000 in cash and
16,923,077 shares of common stock of the Company.  CBC is the nation's largest
wholesale baking company with annual sales of approximately $2 billion and
21,000 employees at 36 bakery locations.  The closing of the sale is subject
to approval of the Company's shareholders and various regulatory clearances. 
The transaction, which will be accounted for as a purchase, is expected to be
completed during the summer of 1995.

5.  Acquisition
- ---------------
On June 13, 1994, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of Fuchs
Baking Co. ("Fuchs"), Miami, Florida.  Fuchs, which has annual sales of
approximately $50,000,000, produces and distributes bakery products throughout
central and southern Florida.  The acquisition, which was financed through
borrowings on the Company's revolving credit agreement, was recorded as a
purchase during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  The effect of the
transaction on results of operations is not material.

6.  Other Charges
- -----------------
Included in the $9,400,000 of other charges for the third quarter of fiscal
1994 are costs incurred in a plant disposal of $6,700,000 and charges related
to environmental matters of $2,700,000.

             with respect to a letter of intent signed by the registrant and   
             Ralston Purina Company ("RPC") on January 6, 1995, allowing the   
             registrant to acquire RPC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental  
             Baking Company, for a purchase price of $330,000,000 in cash and  
             16,923,077 shares of common stock of the registrant.


         2)  On April 14, 1995, the registrant filed a Report on Form 8-K with 
             respect to a definitive agreement signed by the registrant and    
             Ralston Purina Company ("RPC") on April 12, 1995, relating to the 
             acquisition by the registrant of RPC's wholly-owned subsidiary,   
             Continental Baking Company.  The agreement provides for a         
             purchase price of $220,000,000 in cash and 16,923,077 shares of   
             the registrant's common stock to be issued to RPC.  The cash      
             price represents a $110,000,000 reduction from the original terms 
             announced on January 6, 1995.  The proposed acquisition is        
             subject to approval by the registrant's shareholders and          
             various regulatory clearances and is expected to be completed     
             during the summer of 1995.
