                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the twelve weeks ended August
24, 1996, were $753,625,000, up $282,184,000 and 59.9% from prior year net
sales of $471,441,000.  This substantial increase was attributable to the
acquisition of Continental Baking Company ("CBC") on July 22, 1995, with
fiscal 1996 reflecting only five weeks of CBC's operations.  On a comparative
basis, net sales were up approximately 3.7%, reflecting selling price
increases offset somewhat by lower unit volume.

Cost of products sold was 49.6% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal
1997, down from 51.2% of net sales in the prior year.   This improvement
resulted from efficiencies of the acquired operations, with fiscal 1996
reflecting only five weeks of these operations, as well as synergies realized
through integration of existing and acquired operations.  These factors, along
with higher selling prices, offset the effect of higher ingredient costs
experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses represented 41.9% of net sales
for the first quarter of both fiscal 1997 and 1996.  Continued emphasis on
cost control, integration synergies and higher selling prices resulted in
improved selling, delivery and administrative expenses as a percent of net
sales for the combined operation in fiscal 1997.  Fiscal 1996 reflected
selling, delivery and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales of
approximately 40% before the acquisition and approximately 44% for the five
weeks of combined operations.

Depreciation and amortization was up $8,929,000 to $25,002,000 from
$16,073,000 in fiscal 1996, with this increase attributable to the
acquisition.

Based upon these factors, operating income for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 was $38,735,000, an increase of $22,212,000 and 134.4% over the prior
year's $16,523,000.

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $5,837,000 up
slightly from the prior year's expense of $5,783,000.  Overall, average
borrowing levels and interest rates were comparable for both years.

Non-deductible intangible asset amortization was responsible for the effective
tax rates of 43.6% and 47.4% in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Reflecting the improved operations, net income for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 was $18,667,000, or $.49 per share, up $12,941,000 and $.28 per share
from fiscal 1996's $5,726,000, or $.21 per share.  The earnings per share gain
represents a 133.3% improvement over the prior year.

              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Changes in Financial Condition
- ------------------------------

Cash generated by operating activities for the twelve weeks ended August 24,
1996 was $53,523,000 compared to $27,573,000 a year ago.  This increase of
$25,950,000 reflects the acquisition, improved operations and favorable
changes in working capital components.  Cash generated by operations during
fiscal 1997 was used to fund capital expenditures of $16,967,000, pay common
stock dividends of $4,659,000 and reduce debt by $20,205,000, while cash on
hand increased by $13,175,000.

As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
1, 1996, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under the bank
credit facility should be sufficient to meet the ongoing cash requirements in
the current year.


Adoption of New Accounting Standard
- -----------------------------------

Effective with the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company has adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of".  Under SFAS No. 121, impairment losses are recognized when information
indicates the carrying amount of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles
and goodwill related to those assets will not be recovered through future
operations or disposal.  The adoption of this statement had no effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

                       INTERSTATE BAKERIES CORPORATION
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  Acquisition
    -----------

During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, effective July 22, 1995, Interstate
Bakeries Corporation (the "Company") acquired Continental Baking Company
("CBC") from Ralston Purina Company for a total purchase price of $220,000,000
in cash and 16,923,077 shares of the Company's common stock.  First quarter
operating results for fiscal 1996 include CBC's operating results for five
weeks, effective with the date of the acquisition.


2.  Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.  Results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a
full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3.  Inventories
    -----------

The components of inventories are as follows:

                                                          (000's)

5.  Adoption of New Accounting Standard
- ---------------------------------------

Effective with the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". 
Under SFAS No. 121, impairment losses are recognized when information
indicates the carrying amount of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles
and goodwill related to those assets will not be recovered through future
operations or disposal.  The adoption of this statement had no effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
