PART I

Item 1. Business
- - ------- --------

General
- - -------

Interstate Bakeries Corporation (the "Company") was organized in
1987 as a Delaware corporation under the name IBC Holdings Corp. and through
its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Interstate Brands Corporation, is the
largest independent and third largest baker and distributor of fresh bakery
products in the United States. The Company or its predecessors have baked and
distributed fresh bread and cake products since 1927. The Company has grown
to its present size primarily through acquisitions of other bakery businesses.
In its 1988 fiscal year, the Company underwent a change in control through a
leveraged buyout transaction and acquired 10 bakeries in the Southeastern
United States.

The Company operates 31 bakeries throughout the United States and
employs over 14,000 people. From these geographically dispersed bakeries, the
Company's driver-salesmen deliver baked goods to more than 100,000 food
outlets on more than 4,000 delivery routes. The Company's products are
distributed throughout the United States through its direct route system and
its 790 Company-operated thrift stores, and to some extent through
distributors.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 12
East Armour Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri 64111, and the telephone number
is (816) 561-6600.

Operating Divisions
- - -------------------

Bread Division

The principal products of the Bread Division are white breads,
variety breads, "lite" breads, rolls, buns and English muffins, marketed under
well-known brand names, including "Butternut", "Cotton's Holsum", "Eddy's",
"Holsum", "Merita", "Millbrook", "Mrs. Karl's", "Sweetheart" and "Weber's".
The majority of the Bread Division's sales are generated by white breads and
variety breads, the latter consisting of whole wheat, rye and other whole
grain breads. The Bread Division is the largest licensed baker and
distributor of "Roman Meal" and "Sun Maid" breads. These products include
traditional Roman Meal bread, Roman Meal variety breads, Roman Meal light
breads and Roman Meal buns, rolls and English muffins and also include Sun
Maid's line of raisin bread and English muffins.

In fiscal 1994, the Bread Division had net sales of $779,550,000,
which represented 68.2% of the net sales of the Company. The Bread Division's
sales are generally concentrated in the Southeast, Southern California, the
Midwest and certain Northern Mountain states. Bread Division customers
consist primarily of supermarkets and are served by its separate distribution
system. No single customer accounts for more than 5% of the Company's net
sales. Many of the Bread Division's accounts are also serviced by the Cake
Division.

The Bread Division faces intense competition in all of its markets
from large, national bakeries and smaller regional operators, as well as from
supermarket chains with their own bakeries or private label products. The
Continental Baking Company (majority-owned by Ralston Purina), Campbell
Taggert, Inc. (owned by Anheuser-Busch) and Flowers Industries, Inc. are the
Bread Division's largest competitors, each marketing bread products under
various brand names. The Bread Division from time to time experiences price
pressure in certain of its markets as a result of competitors' promotional
pricing practices. However, management believes that the Company's geographic
diversity helps to limit the effect of regionally-based competition.

-3-


Competition in the Bread Division's business is based on product quality,
price, brand loyalty, effective promotional activities and the ability to
identify and satisfy emerging consumer preferences. Customer service,
including frequency of deliveries and maintenance of fully stocked shelves, is
also an important competitive factor and is central to the competition for
retail shelf space among bread product distributors.

Cake Division

The Cake Division produces fresh baked sweet goods, including snack
cakes, donuts, sweet rolls, snack pies, breakfast pastries, variety cakes,
large cakes and shortcakes, approximately 90% of which are sold under the
nationally known "Dolly Madison Bakery" brand name.

In fiscal 1994, the Cake Division had net sales of $347,371,000,
representing 30.4% of the net sales of the Company. The Cake Division
distributes its products principally through convenience stores, in markets
representing approximately 75% of the U.S. population, in all areas of the
country except certain Northeast markets.

No single customer represents more than 5% of the Company's net
sales. The Company believes that its credit practices adequately address the
financial condition of its customers, particularly in the convenience store
industry. Cake sales tend to be somewhat seasonal, with a historically weak
winter period, which management believes is attributable to home baking and
consumption patterns during the holiday seasons. Spring and early summer
months are historically stronger due to the sale of shortcake products during
the fresh strawberry season.

The wholesale cake industry is highly competitive with product
quality, retail account service and price being the most significant
competitive factors. The Cake Division from time to time experiences price
pressures in certain of its markets as a result of competitors' promotional
pricing practices. The Cake Division's ability to sell its products depends
on its ability to attain store shelf space in relation to competing cake
brands and other food products. The Company competes primarily with a few
large national bakeries, as well as with certain regional bakeries.
Continental Baking Company (majority-owned by Ralston Purina) and McKee
Baking, marketing cake products under the brand names Hostess and Little
Debbie, respectively, are the largest competitors of the Cake Division.

Dry Products

The Company's line of dry products consists of branded, dry, bread-
based products, including traditional stuffing and salad croutons, principally
under the "Mrs. Cubbison's" brand name. The majority of the Company's dry
product sales (which account for l.4% of the Company's net sales) is generated
during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods. The "Mrs. Cubbison's"
product line is distributed primarily in 11 western states through a
subsidiary that is 80% owned by the Company. The largest market for the
Company's dry products is Southern California.

Raw Materials
- - -------------

The ingredients of bread and cake products, principally flour, sugar
and edible oils, are readily available from numerous sources. The Company
periodically engages in commodity futures hedging programs, and also attempts
to lock in prices through advance purchase contracts of up to six months in
duration when prices are expected to increase. Through its program of central
purchasing of baking ingredients and packaging materials, the Company is able
to utilize its national presence to obtain competitive prices. The Company
historically has been able to pass through most commodity price increases.

-4-


Management and Employees
- - ------------------------

The Company employs over 14,000 people. Approximately 75% of the
Company's employees are covered by approximately 250 union contracts.
Unionized workers are generally members of either the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters or the Bakery, Confectionery and Tobacco Workers
International Union. The Company believes it has good relations with all of
its union and nonunion employees.


Governmental Regulation; Environmental Matters
- - ----------------------------------------------

The Company's operations are subject to regulation by various
federal, state and local governmental entities and agencies. As a baker of
goods for human consumption, the Company's operations are subject to stringent
quality and labeling standards. The operations of the Company's bakeries and
its delivery fleet are subject to various federal, state and local
environmental laws and workplace regulations, including the Occupational
Safety and Health Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Clean Air Act and the
Clean Water Act. The Company believes that its current legal and
environmental compliance programs adequately address such concerns and that it
is in substantial compliance with such applicable laws and regulations.

Item 2. Properties
- - ------- ----------

The Company's principal properties are its bakeries, distribution
depots and thrift stores. Shown below are the locations of the Company's
bakeries, all of which are owned with the exception of the Charlotte, North
Carolina, bread bakery, which is operated under a capital lease with an option
to purchase the facility in 1996, and the Dry Products bakery. The Company
owns the building in Kansas City, Missouri in which its principal executive
offices are located. The Company's distribution depots and thrift stores are
located throughout the Company's distribution area and the majority of these
facilities are leased.

The Company believes that its facilities are well maintained and
does not foresee the need to make significant capital improvements to existing
facilities in the near future.

-5-


On June 13, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of the
assets and liabilities of Fuchs Baking Co. of Miami, Florida. Fuchs, which
has annual sales of approximately $50,000,000, distributes bakery products
throughout central and southern Florida from bakeries in Miami and Fort
Pierce, Florida.

The Company operates 790 retail stores which sell its bakery
products not otherwise sold through its primary distribution system.
Generally, each thrift store is between 500 and 1,200 square feet in size.
Approximately 80% of the stores are located at the Company's distribution
depots, while the others are freestanding units located along the Company's
distribution routes.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- - ------- -----------------

The Company has been named as a defendant in various claims arising
out of its normal business operations. Based upon the facts available to
date, management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses to these
actions and that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position.
