BRIDGFORD FOODS
CORPORATION



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)



Note 1 - The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:



The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Bridgford Foods
Corporation (the Company) for the twelve weeks ended January 21, 2005 and January 23, 2004 have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles described in the Companys 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders (the Annual
Report) and include all adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair statement of the interim periods. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. This report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.



Note 2 - Inventories:



Inventories are comprised as follows at the respective periods:



|                               |  |                |        |                |   |       
|------------------------------ |  | -------------- | ------ | -------------- | - | ------
|                               |  | (in thousands) |        | (in thousands)
|                               |  | January 212005 |        | October 292004
|Meat, ingredients and supplies |  | $              | 7,559  |                | $ | 7,232 
|Work in progress               |  |                | 906    |                |   | 1,902 
|Finished goods                 |  |                | 10,967 |                |   | 13,344
|                               |  |                |        |                |   |       
|                               |  | $              | 19,432 |                | $ | 22,478
|                               |  |                |        |                |   |       



In November 2004, the
FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs. The Statement requires abnormal amounts of inventory costs related to amounts of idle freight, handling costs and spoilage be recognized as current period
expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.



Note 3 - Basic and diluted earnings per share:



The Company had employee stock options outstanding
totaling 250,000 during the twelve week periods ended January 21, 2005 and January 23, 2004. The effect of the employee stock options outstanding for the twelve weeks ended January 21, 2005 and January 23, 2004 was not included in the calculation of
diluted shares and diluted earnings per share as to do so would be anti-dilutive.



Note 4 - Retirement and Other Benefit Plans:



The Company has noncontributory-trusteed defined benefit retirement plans for sales, administrative, supervisory and certain
other employees. The benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation levels. The Companys funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, without
regard to the plans unfunded current liability. The measurement date for the plan is the Companys fiscal year end.



Net pension cost consisted of the following:



|                                                 |  |                |      |  
|------------------------------------------------ |  | -------------- | ---- | -

|                                                 |  | 12 weeks ended |     
|                                                 |  | January 212005 |     
|Service cost                                     |  | $              | 387  |  
|Interest cost                                    |  |                | 425  |  
|Expected return on plan assets                   |  |                | (323 | )
|Amortization of unrecognized (gain) loss         |  |                | 0    |  
|Amortization of transition asset (15.2 years)    |  |                | 99   |  
|Amortization of unrecognized prior service costs |  |                | 9    |  
|                                                 |  |                |      |  
|Net pension cost                                 |  | $              | 597  |  
|                                                 |  |                |      |  



The Company intends to contribute $991
to the plan during July of 2005.



Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2005,
measurement data was only provided on an annual basis. As a result, plan data is not presented for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

Note 5 - Stock-Based Compensation:



The Company has adopted Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123 Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation which allows the Company to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in
accounting for stock-based compensation; therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized for its fixed stock option plans as options generally granted at fair market value based upon the closing price on the date immediately preceding
the grant date. On December 31, 2002 the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 requires more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of
stock-based compensation. Accordingly, if compensation expense for the Companys stock options had been recognized, based upon the fair value of awards granted, the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
following pro forma amounts:

The pro forma amounts
were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted during the first twelve weeks of the fiscal year ending October 28, 2005 and during the first twelve weeks of the fiscal year ending October 29, 2004.



In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. The Statement requires public companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, in the financial
statements based on the fair value at the date of the grant. The Statement also clarifies and expands Statement No. 123s guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability, and
attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes this Statement will not have a material impact on the
Companys financial condition and results of operations.



Note 6 - Contingencies and Commitments:



The Company leases certain transportation and computer equipment under operating leases expiring in 2006. The terms of the transportation leases provide for annual renewal options and contingent rental payments based
upon mileage and adjustments of rental payments based on the Consumer Price Index. No changes have been made to these contracts during the first twelve weeks of fiscal 2005.

Item 2.



SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Certain statements in this Form 10-Q under
Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, the Company may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general
economic and business conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; success of operating initiatives; development and operating costs; advertising and promotional efforts; adverse publicity; acceptance of new product offerings;
consumer trial and frequency; changes in business strategy or development plans; availability, terms and deployment of capital; availability of qualified personnel; commodity, labor, and employee benefit costs; changes in, or failure to comply with,
government regulations; weather conditions; construction schedules; and other factors referenced in this Form 10-Q and in Bridgford Foods Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 29, 2004. Because of these and other factors
that may affect the Companys operating results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.



Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations



The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain 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 revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts estimated related to liabilities for pension costs, self-insured workers
compensation and employee healthcare are especially subject to inherent uncertainties and these estimated liabilities may ultimately settle at amounts not originally estimated. Management believes its current estimates are reasonable and based on
the best information available at the time.



The Companys credit risk is
diversified across a broad range of customers and geographic regions. Losses due to credit risk have historically been immaterial although losses in fiscal year 2002 were significant. In fiscal year 2002, the provision for losses on accounts
receivable was increased by $3,750,000 due to the bankruptcy of a significant customer and collectibility issues related to other significant accounts. The provision for losses on accounts receivable is based on historical trends and current
collectibility risk. The Company has significant amounts receivable with a few large, well known customers which, although historically collectible, could be subject to material risk should these customers operations suddenly deteriorate. The
Company monitors these customers closely to minimize the risk of loss. Wal-Mart® comprised 13.8% of revenues and 18.0% of accounts receivable in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.



Revenues are recognized upon passage of title to the customer upon product pick-up, shipment or delivery to customers as determined by applicable contracts. Products are
delivered to customers through the Companys own fleet or through a Company-owned direct store delivery system.



The Companys operating results are heavily dependent upon the prices paid for raw materials. The marketing of the Companys value-added products does not lend
itself to instantaneous changes in selling prices. Changes in selling prices are relatively infrequent and do not compare with the volatility of commodity markets.

Results of Operations for the Twelve Weeks ended January 21, 2005 and Twelve Weeks ended January 23, 2004.



Net Sales



Net sales decreased by $1,731,000 (4.9%) to $33,591,000 in the first twelve weeks of the
2005 fiscal year compared to the same twelve-week period last year. The primary reason for the decrease was lower unit sales volume between comparative quarters. Higher unit selling prices partially offset lower unit sales. Average unit selling
prices were approximately 5.4% higher than the comparative period in the prior year.



Compared to the prior sixteen-week period (not shown), average weekly sales increased $159,000 (6.0%). The increase relates to higher unit sales volume in the twelve-week period ended January 21, 2005. Average unit selling prices were also
slightly higher than in the prior sixteen-week period.



Cost of Products
Sold



Cost of products sold decreased by $1,295,000 (5.4%) to
$22,571,000 in the first twelve weeks of the 2005 fiscal year compared to the same twelve-week period in 2004. The gross margin increased slightly on a comparative basis due primarily to higher unit selling prices offsetting higher commodity costs
and lower facility utilization as compared to the comparative period. Flour commodity costs remained essentially flat when evaluated against the comparison period while pork commodities continued to rise.



Compared to the prior sixteen-week period (not shown), the average weekly cost of products
sold increased $167,000 (9.7%) for the first twelve weeks of fiscal year 2005. This increase is consistent with increased sales volume, higher commodity cost trends and lower facility utilization.



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses



Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $356,000 (3.3%) to $10,308,000 in
the first twelve weeks of 2005 compared to the same twelve-week period last year. The rate of decline in this category did not correspond to the sales decrease. Costs related to fuel, pension benefits and advertising programs rose at a higher rate
as a percentage of sales than the prior year causing the increase. Favorable trends in bad debt expenses, health care expenses and professional fees partially offset these increases.



Compared to the prior sixteen-week period (not shown), average weekly selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $81,000
(10.4%). The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales primarily relates increased costs related to employee benefit expenses compared to the prior sixteen-week period. Favorable year-end adjustments in the
sixteen-week comparison period related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a favorable workers compensation settlement in the amount of $186,000 also affected the comparison.



Depreciation Expense and Income Taxes



Depreciation expense increased by $14,000 (1.4%) to $1,028,000 in the first twelve weeks of the 2005 fiscal year compared to the same
twelve-week period in 2004. The changes in depreciation expense were insignificant to the results of the quarter.



Compared to the prior sixteen-week period (not shown), average weekly depreciation expense increased $3,000 (4.3%) for the first twelve weeks of fiscal 2005 due to the
completion of construction in progress in the current fiscal year.



The
effective income tax rate was 38.0% in the first twelve weeks of fiscal 2005, consistent with the prior fiscal year and the prior sixteen-week period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Net cash from operating activities was $2,884,000 for the first twelve weeks of the 2005 fiscal year. The operating loss of $196,000 was
offset principally by reductions in inventory, account receivable and an increase in accounts payable. The substantial reduction in inventory in the first twelve weeks is consistent with normal seasonal trends and a planned reduction in field
inventories. The Company utilized cash flow for additions to property, plant and equipment and share repurchases. The net effect of these events resulted in a cash and cash equivalents increase of $2,522,000 (31.6%) to $10,494,000. The additions to
property, plant and equipment reflect the Companys continued investment in processing, transportation and information technology equipment.



No cash dividends were paid during the first twelve weeks of the 2005 fiscal year as the Board of Directors suspended the quarterly cash dividend at its May 2004 meeting
in recognition of lower profitability levels in recent quarters as compared to the prior year dividend of $308,000 ($0.03 per share). The Company also repurchased 2,345 shares of its common stock for $21,000 during the first twelve weeks of 2005.
The average price per share of such repurchased shares was $8.96.



The Company
remained free of interest bearing debt during the first twelve weeks of 2005. The Companys revolving line of credit with Bank of America expires April 30, 2006 and provides for borrowings up to $2,000,000. The Company has not borrowed under
this line for more than eighteen consecutive years.



The impact of inflation on
the Companys financial position and results of operations has not been significant. Management is of the opinion that the Companys financial position and its capital resources are sufficient to provide for its near term operating needs
and capital expenditures.



Item 3.



Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk



The Company does not have significant
foreign currency exposure at January 21, 2005. The Companys financial instruments generally consist of cash and cash equivalents and life insurance policies at January 21, 2005. The Company also has an investment in shares of stock as a result
of the bankruptcy of a significant customer. Unrealized gains and losses from this investment are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying statements. Realized gains and losses upon the sale of this investment
are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The carrying value of the Companys financial instruments approximated their fair market values based on current market prices and rates. It is not the Companys policy
to enter into derivative financial instruments.



The Company purchases bulk
flour under short-term fixed price contracts during the normal course of business. Under these arrangements, the Company is obligated to purchase specific quantities at fixed prices, within the specified contract period. These contracts provide for
automatic price increases if agreed quantities are not delivered. No significant contracts remained unfulfilled at January 21, 2005.



Item 4.



Controls and Procedures



An evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.



The Companys management, including the Companys Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated any changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during quarter ended January 21, 2005, and have concluded that there was no change in such reporting period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.

Section 404 Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002



The requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will be effective for the Companys fiscal year ending November 3,
2006. In order to comply with the act, the Company is beginning a comprehensive effort, which includes the documentation and testing of its internal controls. As a result, the Company expects to incur substantial additional expenses and diversion of
managements time. During the course of these activities, the Company may identify certain internal control issues which management believes should be improved. These improvements, if necessary, will likely include further formalization of
policies and procedures, improved segregation of duties, additional information technology system controls and additional monitoring controls. Although management does not believe that any of these matters will result in material weaknesses being
identified in the Companys internal controls as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, no assurances can be given regarding the outcome of these efforts. Additionally, control weaknesses may not be identified in a timely
enough manner to allow remediation prior to the issuance of the auditors report on internal controls over financial reporting. Any failure to adequately comply could result in sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, which could
harm the Companys business or investors confidence in the Company.



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls



Our management,
including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that
judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the control.



The design of any system of controls is also based in
part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
