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



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

Net sales for the third quarter, the sixteen weeks ended March 9, 1996, were
$926,482,000, a $568,242,000 increase over prior year net sales of
$358,240,000.  Year-to-date net sales for fiscal 1996 were $2,132,460,000, an
increase of $1,219,395,000 over net sales of $913,065,000 in fiscal 1995. 
These substantial increases were attributable to the acquisition of
Continental Baking Company on July 22, 1995, with year-to-date net sales
reflecting thirty-three weeks of Continental's operations.  Excluding the
impact of the acquisition, third quarter net sales increased approximately
5.7% while year-to-date net sales increased approximately 5.0%.  These
increases reflect higher selling prices and stable bread unit volume, offset
somewhat by continued softness in cake unit volume.

Cost of products sold was 50.8% of net sales for the third quarter of 1996, an
improvement over the prior year's 52.1% of net sales.  Year-to-date cost of
products sold was 51.0%, an improvement over fiscal 1995's 51.6%.  These
margin gains were primarily attributable to the efficiencies of the acquired
operations, as well as efficiencies realized through integration of existing
and acquired operations.  Excluding the acquired operations, cost of products
sold reflected significantly higher ingredient and packaging costs, offset to
some degree by higher selling prices.

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses represented 43.8% of net sales
for the quarter compared to 41.9% the prior year, while year-to-date selling,
delivery and administrative expenses increased to 42.9% of net sales from
40.9% in fiscal 1995.  These unfavorable variances were attributable to the
acquisition, with the new operations having higher selling and delivery labor
and labor related costs as a percentage of net sales.  Excluding the acquired
operations, selling, delivery and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales were comparable to the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization was up $21,858,000 to $32,308,000 for the
quarter and increased $49,925,000 to $76,014,000 year-to-date, with these
increases attributable to the acquisition.

As a result of these factors, operating income for the third quarter of fiscal
1996 was up $6,519,000, or 58.2%, to $17,711,000.  Year-to-date operating
income was $54,928,000, a $13,021,000 and 31.1% increase from fiscal 1995.

Interest expense for the third quarter was up $4,170,000 to $9,424,000, while
year-to-date interest expense increased $9,492,000 to $22,656,000.  Higher
borrowings to finance the acquisition were the primary reason for these
increases, along with slightly higher market interest rates.  The new credit
agreement signed in conjunction with the acquisition provides for interest
rates similar to the previous credit agreement.

Non-deductible intangibles asset amortization was responsible for the
effective tax rates of 51.4% and 47.8% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.

<PAGE>

Net income for the third quarter was $4,166,000, or $.11 per share, compared
to $3,096,000, or $.16 per share, for the same period a year ago.  Year-to-
date net income in fiscal 1996 was $15,987,000, or $.47 per share, versus
$15,045,000, or $.76 per share, in fiscal 1995.  The per share earnings
decline reflects the operating results discussed above, as well as the
additional shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition.


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

Cash generated by operating activities for the forty weeks ended March 9, 1996
was $113,639,000 compared to $39,359,000 a year ago, with this increase
reflecting the acquired operations and favorable changes in working capital
components.  Cash generated by operations during fiscal 1996, along with net
additional borrowings of $156,030,000, were used to fund capital expenditures
of $27,281,000, pay common stock dividends of $11,690,000 and pay $230,753,000
for the acquisition of Continental Baking Company.

As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
3, 1995, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under the new
credit facility should be sufficient to meet the ongoing cash requirements in
the current year.

                                  (UNAUDITED)

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

During the first quarter, effective July 22, 1995, Interstate Bakeries
Corporation (the "Company") acquired Continental Baking Company ("CBC") from
Ralston Purina Company ("RPC") for a total purchase price of $220,000,000 in
cash and 16,923,077 shares of the Company's common stock.  Prior to the
acquisition, CBC was the nation's largest wholesale baking company with annual
sales of approximately $2 billion and 21,000 employees at 36 bakery locations. 
As a result of the acquisition, RPC owns approximately 46% of the Company's
common stock.  Under terms of a shareholder agreement, RPC's holdings of the
Company's common stock must be less than 15% of the outstanding shares within
five years of the acquisition.

Year-to-date third quarter operating results include CBC's operating results
for 33 weeks, effective with the date of the acquisition.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the estimated cash and stock portions of
the purchase price, including fees and expenses, for fiscal 1996 were as
follows:

     Estimated fair value of net assets acquired           $474,022
     Common stock issued                                   (243,269)
                                                           --------
     Cash paid for acquisition of CBC                      $230,753
                                                           ========       


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.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' amounts to conform to
the current year presentation.
