FLOWERS FOODS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Flowers Foods, Inc. (“the company”) have been prepared by the company’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of October 4, 2003 and December 28, 2002, the results of operations for the twelve and forty week periods ended October 4, 2003 and October 5, 2002 and statement of cash flows for the forty week periods ended October 4, 2003 and October 5, 2002. The results of operations for the twelve and forty week periods ended October 4, 2003 and October 5, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002.

ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. The company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements: revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, derivative instruments, valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill and other intangibles, deferred tax asset valuation allowances and pension obligations. These policies are summarized in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002.

REPORTING PERIODS — Fiscal 2003 consists of 53 weeks, with the company’s quarterly reporting periods as follows: first quarter ended April 19, 2003 (sixteen weeks), second quarter ended July 12, 2003 (twelve weeks), third quarter ended October 4, 2003 (twelve weeks) and fourth quarter ending January 3, 2004 (thirteen weeks).

RECLASSIFICATIONS — Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform with the current period reporting.

STOCK SPLIT — On May 30, 2003, the board of directors declared a 3 for 2 stock split of the company’s common stock in the form of a 50% stock dividend. The record date for the split was June 13, 2003 and new shares were issued on June 27, 2003. Earnings (loss) per common share have been restated for all period
