PART I

Item 1.                                   Business

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: general economic and business conditions; the impact of competitive product 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 Report.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding the Company’s business, which involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic and competitive conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. The forward-looking statements contained herein speak as of the date of this Report and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements after the date hereof.

Background of Business

Bridgford Foods Corporation, a California corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), was organized in 1952. The Company originally began its operations in 1932 as a retail meat market in San Diego, California, and evolved into a meat wholesaler for hotels and restaurants, a distributor of frozen food products, a processor and packer of meat and a manufacturer and distributor of frozen food products for sale on a retail and wholesale basis. For more than the past five years, the Company and its subsidiaries have been primarily engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of an extensive line of frozen, refrigerated and snack food products throughout the United States. The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor has it been party to any merger, acquisition, etc. or acquired or disposed of any material amounts of assets during the past five years. Substantially all of the assets of the Company have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. The Company had no significant change in the type of products produced or distributed, nor in the markets or methods of distribution since the beginning of the fiscal year.

Description of Business

The Company operates in two business segments – the processing and distribution of frozen products and the processing and distribution of refrigerated and snack food products.  For information regarding the separate financial performance of the business segments refer to Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The products manufactured and distributed by the Company consist of an extensive line of food products, including biscuits, bread dough items, roll dough items, dry sausage products and a variety of sandwiches and sliced luncheon meats. The products purchased by the Company for resale include a variety of jerky, cheeses, salads, party dips, Mexican foods, nuts and other delicatessen type food products.

Although the Company has recently introduced several new products, most of these products have not contributed significantly to the Company’s revenue growth for the fiscal year.  However, Bridgford Monkey Bread, introduced in 2005, continues to grow in popularity.  The Company’s sales are not subject to material seasonal variations. Historically the Company has been able to respond quickly to the receipt of orders and, accordingly, the Company does not maintain a significant sales backlog. The Company and its industry generally have no unusual demands or restrictions on working capital items. During the last fiscal year the Company did not enter into any new markets or any significant contractual or other material relationships.

2

The Company has two classes of similar food products, each of which has accounted for 10% or more of consolidated sales in the prior three fiscal years listed below. The following table shows sales, as a percentage of consolidated sales, for each of these two classes of similar products for each of the last three fiscal years:

To date, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, have not had a material effect on the Company’s business.

Major Product Classes

Frozen Food Products

The Company’s frozen food division serves both food service and retail customers. The Company sells approximately 200 unique frozen food products through wholesalers, cooperatives and distributors to approximately 21,000 retail outlets and 22,000 restaurants and institutions.

Frozen Food Products – Food Service Customers

The food service industry is composed of establishments that serve food outside the home and includes restaurants, the food operations of health care providers, schools, hotels, resorts, corporations, and other traditional and non-traditional food service outlets. Growth in this industry has been driven by the increase in away-from-home meal preparation, which has accompanied the expanding number of both dual income and single-parent households. Another trend within the food service industry is the growth in the number of non-traditional food service outlets such as convenience stores, retail stores and supermarkets. These non-traditional locations often lack extensive cooking, storage or preparation facilities, resulting in a need for pre-cooked and prepared foods similar to those provided by the Company. The expansion in the food service industry has also been accompanied by the continued consolidation and growth of broadline and specialty food service distributors, many of which are long-standing customers of the Company.

The Company supplies its food service customers generally through distributors that take title to the product and resell it. Among the Company’s customers are many of the country’s largest broadline and specialty food service distributors. For these and other large end purchasers, the Company’s products occasionally go through extensive qualification procedures and its manufacturing capabilities are subjected to thorough review by the end purchasers prior to the Company’s approval as a vendor. Large end purchasers typically select suppliers that can consistently meet increased volume requirements on a national basis during peak promotional periods. The Company believes that its manufacturing flexibility, national presence and long-standing customer relationships should pose barriers to entry for other manufacturers seeking to provide similar products to the Company’s current large food service end purchasers, although no assurances can be given.

Frozen Food Products – Retail Customers

The majority of the Company’s existing and targeted retail customers are involved in the resale of branded and private label packaged foods. The same trends which have contributed to the increase in away-from-home meal preparation have also fueled the growth in easy to prepare, microwaveable frozen and refrigerated convenience foods. Among the fastest growing segments is the frozen and refrigerated hand-held foods market. This growth has been driven by improved product quality and variety and the increasing need for inexpensive and healthy food items that require minimal preparation. Despite rapid growth, many categories of frozen and refrigerated hand-held foods have achieved minimal household penetration. The Company believes it has been successful in establishing and maintaining supply relationships with certain selected leading retailers in this market.

Frozen Food Products – Sales and Marketing

The Company’s frozen food business covers the United States and Canada. In addition to regional sales managers, the Company maintains a network of independent food service and retail brokers covering most of the states as well as Canada. Brokers are compensated on a commission basis. The Company believes that its broker relationships, in close cooperation

3

with the regional sales managers, are a valuable asset providing significant new product and customer opportunities. The regional sales managers perform several significant functions for the Company, including identifying and developing new business opportunities and providing customer service and support to the Company’s distributors and end purchasers through the effective use of the Company’s broker network.

The Company’s annual advertising expenditures are directed towards retail and institutional customers. These customers participate in various special promotional and marketing programs and direct advertising allowances sponsored by the Company. The Company also invests in general consumer advertising in various newspapers and periodicals. The Company directs advertising at food service customers with campaigns in major industry publications and through Company participation in trade shows throughout the United States.

Refrigerated and Snack Food Products – Customers

The Company’s refrigerated and snack food products division sells approximately 270 different items through a direct store delivery network serving approximately 36,000 supermarkets, mass merchandise and convenience retail stores located in 49 states and Canada.

These customers are comprised of large retail chains and smaller “independent” operators. This part of the Company’s business is highly competitive. Proper placement of the Company’s product lines is critical to selling success since most items could be considered “impulse” items which are often consumed shortly after purchase. The Company’s ability to sell successfully to this distribution channel depends on aggressive marketing and maintaining relationships with key buyers.

Refrigerated and Snack Food Products – Sales and Marketing

The Company’s direct store delivery network consists of two separate divisions, refrigerated and non-refrigerated snack food products. Refrigerated snack food products are distributed through five different regions located in the southwest, primarily operating in California, Arizona and Nevada. Non-refrigerated snack food products are distributed in seventeen geographic regions across the United States and Canada, each managed by regional sales managers. The regional sales managers perform several significant functions for the Company including identifying and developing new business opportunities and providing customer service and support to the Company’s customers. The Company also utilizes the services of brokers where appropriate to support efficient product distribution and customer satisfaction.

Product Planning and Research and Development

The Company continually monitors the consumer acceptance of each product within its extensive product line. Individual products are regularly added to and deleted from the Company’s product line. The addition or deletion of any product has not had a material effect on the Company’s operations in the current fiscal year. The Company believes that a key factor in the success of its products is its system of carefully targeted research and testing of its products to ensure high quality and that each product matches an identified market opportunity. The emphasis in new product introductions in the past several years has been in single service items. The Company is constantly searching to develop new products to complement its existing product line and improved processing techniques and formulas for its existing product line. The Company utilizes in-house test kitchens to research and experiment with unique food preparation methods, improve quality control and analyze new ingredient mixtures. The Company’s refrigerated and snack food products segment has continued to refine development of a new major manufacturing line that was originally scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.  The Company has been field testing this product with consumers since early November 2006.  Further testing will commence upon completion of final modifications to the product line.  The Company does not expect to begin production for at least another 60 days after new modifications are complete.  While management believes that the line, once complete, will be profitable, no absolute assurance can be given.  At November 3, 2006, the total investment in this line was $1,747, including $281 in soft development costs.  The Company does not anticipate any significant change in product-mix as a result of its current research and development efforts.

Competition

The products of the Company are sold under highly competitive conditions. All food products can be considered competitive with other food products, but the Company considers its principal competitors to include national, regional and local producers and distributors of refrigerated, frozen and snack food products. Several of the Company’s competitors include large companies with substantially greater financial and marketing resources than those of the Company. Existing competitors may broaden their product lines and potential competitors may enter or increase their focus on the Company’s market, resulting in greater competition for the Company. The Company believes that its products compete favorably with those of the Company’s competitors. Such competitors’ products compete against those of the Company for retail shelf space, institutional distribution and customer preference.

Importance of Key Customers

Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 15.0% of revenues in fiscal year 2006 and 13.3% of accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart® at November 3, 2006.  Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 13.8% of revenues in fiscal year 2005 and 13.6% of accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart® at October 28, 2005.  Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 14.6% of revenues in fiscal year 2004.

Employees

The Company has approximately 684 employees, approximately 43% of whose employment relationship is governed by collective bargaining agreements. These agreements currently expire or expired between March 2004 and March 2008. A contract with UFCW Meat Cutters Local # 324, covering 69 employees, expired October 3, 2006.  The agreement was extended without modification for six months to March 31, 2007.  Negotiations have not yet resumed on a further extension and/or renewal.  The Company believes that its relationship with employees is favorable.

Executive Officers of the Registrant

The names, ages and positions of all the executive officers of the Company as of January 1, 2007 are listed below. Messrs. Hugh Wm. Bridgford and Allan L. Bridgford are brothers. William L. Bridgford is the son of Hugh Wm. Bridgford and the nephew of Allan L. Bridgford. Officers are normally appointed annually by the board of directors at their meeting immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders. All executive officers are full-time employees of the Company, except for Allan L. Bridgford, who works 60% of full-time effective March 2005.

Item 1A.                          Risk Factors

In addition to the other matters set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the continuing operations and the price of the Company’s common stock are subject to the following risks, each of which could materially adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations.

General Risks of Food Industry

The food industry, and the markets within the food industry in which the Company competes, are subject to various risks, including: adverse changes in general economic conditions, evolving consumer preferences, nutritional and health-related concerns, federal, state and local food inspection and processing controls, consumer product liability claims, risks of product tampering, and the availability and expense of liability insurance. The meat and poultry industries have recently been subject to increasing scrutiny due to the association of meat and poultry products with recent outbreaks of illness, and on rare occasions even death, caused by food borne pathogens. Product recalls are sometimes required in the food industries to withdraw contaminated or mislabeled products from the market.

Risks Relating to Suppliers and Raw Materials

The Company purchases large quantities of commodity pork, beef and flour. Historically, market prices for products processed by the Company have fluctuated in response to a number of factors, including changes in the United States government farm support programs, changes in international agricultural and trading policies, weather and other conditions during the growing and harvesting seasons.

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. The impact of general price inflation on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not been significant during the last three years.

5

Risks Relating to Government Regulation

The operations of the Company are subject to extensive inspection and regulation by the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”), the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and by other federal, state and local authorities, regarding the processing, packaging, storage, transportation, distribution and labeling of products that are manufactured, produced and processed by the Company. The Company’s processing facilities and products are subject to continuous inspection by USDA and/or other federal, state and local authorities. On July 25, 1996, the USDA issued strict new policies concerning contamination by food borne pathogens such as E. coli, Listeria Monocytogenes and Salmonella, and established a new system of regulation known as the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (“HACCP”) program. The HACCP program requires all meat and poultry processing plants to develop and implement sanitary operating procedures and other program requirements on or before January 26, 1998. The Company believes that it is currently in compliance with all material governmental laws and regulations (including the January 1998 HACCP requirements), and that it maintains all material permits and licenses relating to its operations.

On October 6, 2003, new USDA regulations regarding the control of Listeria Monocytogenes in Ready-To-Eat Meat and Poultry Products took effect. These regulations require environmental and/or finished product testing for harmful bacteria that may be present. This testing could result in products being retained, recalled or destroyed if Listeria Monocytogenes is detected. The Company believes that it is in full compliance with these regulations.

Risks Relating to Dependence on Key Management

The Company’s executive officers and certain other key employees have been primarily responsible for the development and expansion of the Company’s business, and the loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its continued ability to recruit, motivate and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. The Company has no employment or non-competition agreements with key personnel.

Item 1B.                          Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2.                                   Properties

The Company owns the following facilities:

The foregoing plants are, in general, fully utilized by the Company for processing, warehousing, distributing and administrative purposes. The Company also leases warehouse and/or office facilities throughout the United States and Canada. The Company believes that its properties are generally adequate to satisfy its foreseeable needs. Additional properties may be acquired and/or plants expanded if favorable opportunities and conditions arise.

Item 3.                                   Legal Proceedings

No material legal proceedings were pending at November 3, 2006 or currently against the Company. The Company is likely to be subject to claims arising from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such actions, plaintiffs may request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance and, accordingly, no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such possible future claims or litigation or their effect on the Company.

Item 4.                                   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Annual Meeting of Shareholders

The 2007 annual meeting of shareholders will be held at the Four Points Sheraton, 1500 South Raymond Avenue, Fullerton, California at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 14, 2007.

No matters were submitted by the Company’s shareholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended November 3, 2006.

Results of Operations (in thousands)

Fiscal Year Ended November 3, 2006 (53 weeks) Compared to Fiscal Year Ended October 28, 2005 (52 weeks)

Sales

Sales in fiscal 2006 increased $3,419 (2.6%) when compared to the prior year. After considering the additional week in 2006, a 53 week year, sales were essentially flat compared to the prior year. Sales in the Company’s frozen food segment increased $3,638 (7.7%), as a result of increased average unit selling prices and higher unit volume primarily due to the introduction of a successful new product. Promotional spending as a percentage of sales increased to 8.4% compared to 8.0% in the prior year partially off-setting the sales increase in the frozen food division. Sales in the Company’s refrigerated and snack food products segment decreased $219 (0.3%) primarily as result of lower unit sales volume.  Higher unit selling prices helped mitigate the decrease.

9

Gross Margin

The gross margin increased to 36.6% compared the prior year at 34.7%. This improvement resulted from higher unit selling prices and lower commodity costs. Meat ingredient costs declined significantly in the fiscal year helping to increase the gross margin.  Flour commodities increased significantly in 2006 partially off-setting the meat commodity cost declines. When combining all divisions, net-selling prices increased approximately 5.4% on a unit volume decline of approximately 2.6 % compared to the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $464 (1.1%) when compared to the prior year. After considering the additional week in 2006, a 53 week year, average weekly expenses were slightly lower as compared to the prior year. Within this category costs for fuel, vehicle repairs, consulting and travel expenses outpaced sales growth.  Off-setting these increases were higher interest income on investments and lower pension, advertising and telephone expenses.

Gain on Sale of Equity Securities

The Company sold 5,028 shares of stock received as a result of the bankruptcy of a significant customer on February 22, 2006.  This transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $106.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 17.2% and (58.2)% in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, respectively.  In fiscal year 2005, the effective income tax rate differed from the applicable mixed statutory rate of approximately 38.0% primarily due to the Company’s current year claim for research and development tax credits related to prior year activities.  In fiscal year 2006, the effective income tax rate differed from the applicable mixed statutory rate of approximately 38.0% primarily due to a reduction in recorded income tax reserves.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  This Statement addresses uncertainty in tax positions recognized in a company’s financial statements and stipulates a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 will apply to the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 3, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted.   The Company does not expect this interpretation will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Fiscal Year Ended October 28, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended October 29, 2004

Sales

Sales in fiscal 2005 decreased $7,020 (5.1%) when compared to the prior year. Sales in the Company’s frozen food segment increased 6.6%, as a result of increased average unit selling prices offset by slightly lower unit volume. Promotional spending as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.0% compared to 8.6% in the prior year contributing to the sales increase in the frozen food division. Sales in the Company’s refrigerated and snack food products segment decreased 10.1% primarily as result of lower unit sales volume.

Gross Margin

The gross margin increased to 34.7% compared the prior year at 34.5%. Continued high meat ingredient costs were offset by higher unit selling prices resulting in a consistent gross margin percentage. When combining all divisions, net-selling prices increased approximately 4.8% on a unit volume decline of approximately 12.7 % compared to the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $335 (0.8%) when compared to the prior year. Costs for marketing programs, product display racks and fuel increased significantly.  Offsetting these increases were a significant reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts receivable, gains related to increased cash surrender values on life insurance policies and higher investment income.  Cost control programs instituted by management also helped control this expense category.

10

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 58.2%.  The increase in effective rate relates to the reduction of tax reserves in the current fiscal year and significant non-taxable gains on life insurance policies.  The Company released a portion of tax reserves for state tax estimates during fiscal 2005 as the amount is no longer probable or reasonably estimated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 5), “Accounting for Contingencies”.  The Company provides tax reserves for federal, state, local and international exposures relating to audit results, tax planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities.  The development of these reserves requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing, and is a subjective estimate.  Although the outcome of these tax audits is uncertain, in management’s opinion adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for potential liabilities emanating from these reviews.  Actual outcomes may differ materially from these estimates.

Fiscal Year ended October 29, 2004 compared to Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2003

Sales

Sales in fiscal 2004 increased $1,614 (1.2%) when compared to the prior year. Sales in the Company’s frozen food segment declined 3.3%, as a result of lower unit volume partially offset by increased average unit selling prices. Promotional spending as a percentage of sales increased to 8.6% compared to 7.2% in the prior year contributing to the sales decline in the frozen food division. Sales in the Company’s refrigerated and snack food products segment increased 3.5% primarily as a result of higher unit selling prices on level unit volumes.

Gross Margin

The gross margin declined to 34.5% compared to the prior year at 36.7%. Increased meat ingredient costs were the principal reason for this decline. When combining all divisions, net-selling prices increased approximately 5% on a unit volume decline of approximately 1.1 % compared to the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $48 (0.1%) when compared to the prior year. Rising payroll, workers’ compensation insurance, fuel and finished goods storage costs were offset by a significant reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts receivable and the combined impact of aggressive cost control programs instituted by management. The Company recorded an asset impairment reserve against the net book value of machinery and equipment of $54 in fiscal year 2004 and no asset impairment reserve in the prior year.

Gain on Sale of Equity Securities

The Company sold 14,014 shares of stock received as a result of the bankruptcy of a significant customer on July 26, 2004. This transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $553.

The effective income tax rate was 38% in 2004, consistent with the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (in thousands except per share amounts)

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,874 and $4,515, in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. Gross accounts receivable balances increased $436 in 2006 and decreased $2,243 in 2005. The balance in 2006 increased slightly due to strong sales in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year in the frozen food segment offset by lower unit sales volume in the refrigerated and snack food segment in the same period. The balance in 2005 decreased due to lower overall sales levels in the fourth quarter and improved collection trends compared to the prior year. Inventories decreased $1,780 in fiscal year 2006 primarily due to the sale of ingredient inventories not immediately required for a significant production line under development but not complete at the end of the fiscal year and a slight decline in overall commodity costs. The Company’s refrigerated and snack food products segment has continued development of a new major production line that was originally scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.  A successful production run was completed in October 2006 and this product was test marketed to consumers on a limited basis in November 2006.  To date this product has been well received however field testing continues.  Early production runs have confirmed the need for additional heating capacity in the oven in order to attain desired rates of production. This expected project completion date has been moved forward into fiscal year 2008 until satisfactory results are achieved. Inventories increased $4,445 in fiscal year 2004 due to significant beef

11

ingredient inventories being stored in anticipation of the start up of the new production line in the first half of fiscal year 2005 and higher valuations due to commodity cost increases.  Accounts payable balances were consistent with the current business cycle. Accrued payroll, advertising and other expenses increased $714 in 2006 primarily as a result of the funding pattern of self-insured workers’ compensation claims. The current portion of non-current liabilities increased $1,558 and decreased $553 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The increases in both 2006 and 2005 were due to a higher anticipated funding of the pension liability in 2006 and 2007.  Included in the current portion of non-current liabilities is $3,476 related to the anticipated contribution required in fiscal years 2007. The minimum pension liability related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan decreased to $1,926 at November 3, 2006 compared to $3,458 at October 28, 2005.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company froze the defined benefit pension plan accrued benefits for members employed by the Company within administration, sales or supervisory job classification or within a non-bargaining class (the Corporate Group) contributing to the decrease in the minimum pension liability.  This action is defined as a curtailment under SFAS No. 88 “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits” and, therefore, the Company recognized a curtailment loss of approximately $8. As a result of this action, net pension costs were reduced in the last fiscal quarter by approximately $667 as compared to the same quarter last year and will be reduced in future periods. The net tax effected amount of this liability is included in shareholders’ equity as an “accumulated comprehensive loss” in the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company’s capital improvement expenditures increased $298 in 2006 and decreased $1,412 in 2005 compared to the prior year.  Overall capital spending has declined in recent years and significant capital expenditures related to the Dallas high rise freezer and the new Statesville bread plant reached the end of their depreciation periods on certain major equipment. As a result, depreciation expense declined in the current year. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3,025 in 2006 and decreased $2,383 in 2005. Net cash flow improved in 2006 and 2005 primarily as a result of lower inventory requirements, lower expenditures for property, plant and equipment and lower income tax payments.

Working capital decreased $215 in 2006 and increased $161 in 2005. Working capital decreased in 2006 primarily as the result of a significant increase pension contributions required for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, with current funding requirements increasing by $1,674 compared to the prior year. Off-setting this working capital decrease decrease were higher earnings levels compared to the prior year.   Working capital increased in 2005 primarily as a result of lower inventory requirements, lower expenditures for property, plant and equipment and an increase in refundable income taxes. The Company has remained free of interest-bearing debt for twenty consecutive years. The Company maintains a line of credit with Bank of America that expires April 30, 2008. Under the terms of this line of credit, the Company may borrow up to $2,000 at an interest rate equal to the bank’s reference rate, unless the Company elects an optional interest rate. The borrowing agreement contains various covenants, the more significant of which require the Company to maintain certain levels of shareholders’ equity and working capital. The Company was in compliance with all provisions of the agreement during the 2006 fiscal year and there were no borrowings under this line of credit during such period. Management is of the opinion that the Company’s strong financial position and its capital resources are sufficient to provide for its operating needs and capital expenditures for fiscal 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not currently have any off balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Contractual Obligations (in thousands)

The Company has remained free of interest bearing long-term debt for twenty consecutive years and had no other long-term debt or other contractual obligations except for leases. The Company leases certain transportation equipment under operating leases. Future minimum lease payments are approximately (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies

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 self-insured workers’ compensation, employee healthcare and pension benefits are especially subject to inherent uncertainties and these estimated liabilities may ultimately settle at amounts not originally estimated.  The Company records promotional and returns allowances based on recent and historical trends. Management believes its current estimates are reasonable and based on the best information available at the time.

12

The Company’s credit risk is diversified across a broad range of customers and geographic regions. Losses due to credit risk have recently been immaterial although losses in fiscal year 2002 were significant due to a bankruptcy of a significant customer. The provision for doubtful 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 secure, could be subject to material risk should these customers’ operations suddenly deteriorate. The Company monitors these customers closely to minimize the risk of loss. Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 15.0% of revenues in fiscal year 2006 and 13.3% of accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart® at November 3, 2006.  Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 13.8% of revenues in fiscal year 2005 and 13.6% of accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart® at October 28, 2005.  Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 14.6% of revenues in fiscal year 2004.

Revenues are recognized upon passage of title to the customer, typically upon product pick-up, shipment or delivery to customers. Products are delivered to customers primarily through its own long-haul fleet or through a company owned direct store delivery system.

The Company records the cash surrender or contract value for life insurance policies as an adjustment of premiums paid in determining the expense or income to be recognized under the contract for the period.

Amounts estimated related to liabilities for pension benefits 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.

Deferred taxes are provided for items whose financial and tax bases differ. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is expected that it is more likely than not that the related asset will not be fully realized.

The Company provides tax reserves for federal, state, local and international exposures relating to audit results, tax planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities.  The development of these reserves requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing, and is a subjective estimate.  Although the outcome of these tax audits is uncertain, in management’s opinion adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for potential liabilities emanating from these reviews.  Actual outcomes may differ materially from these estimates.

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances or business climate indicate that expected undiscounted future cash flows related to such long-lived assets may not be sufficient to support the net book value of such assets. If undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to support the recorded assets, the Company recognizes an impairment to reduce the carrying value of the applicable long-lived assets to their estimated fair value.

 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  This Statement addresses uncertainty in tax positions recognized in a company’s financial statements and stipulates a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 will apply to the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 4, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted.   The Company does not expect this interpretation will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”.  SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Although the Company will continue to evaluate the application of SAB No. 108, management does not currently believe adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). This Statement defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require fair value

13

measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the Company’s first quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, and interim periods within those years.   The Company does not expect this statement will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans–an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. FAS 158 requires employers to recognize the over- or under-funded status of defined benefit plans and other postretirement plans in the statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. In addition, FAS 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of plans as of the date of the year-end statement of financial position. The recognition and disclosure provisions of FAS 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 (effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending November 2, 2007), while the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of a company’s year-end date is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 (effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending October 30, 2009).  The Company expects the adoption of this statement will materially affect other comprehensive income, long-term liabilities and shareholders equity.

Item 7A.                          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company did not have significant overall currency exposure at November 3, 2006. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and life insurance policies at November 3, 2006 and 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 does not currently have any significant foreign currency exposure. The Company does not engage in buying or selling spot or futures commodity contracts. The Company’s investment portfolio is not subject to significant market risk or interest rate fluctuations.

Item 9.                                   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On December 13, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP completed the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 29, 2004 on January 27, 2005 completely terminating PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s appointment as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. The decision to change principal accountants was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company.

The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Bridgford Foods Corporation for the year ended October 29, 2004, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

During the year ended October 29, 2004, and through January 27, 2005, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years.

On December 14, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Haskell & White LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of December 13, 2004 for the fiscal year beginning October 30, 2004 and ending October 28, 2005.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended November 3, 2006 and through the subsequent interim period ended February 1, 2007, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Haskell & White LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

During the years ended November 3, 2006, October 28, 2005, and October 29, 2004, and through February 1, 2007, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Item 9A.                          Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation and under the supervision of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation the Chairman and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the period covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including its Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s 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.

The Company maintains and evaluates a system of internal accounting controls, and a program of internal auditing designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are protected and that transactions are performed in accordance with proper authorization, and are properly recorded. This system of internal accounting controls is continually reviewed and modified in response to evolving business conditions and operations and to recommendations made by the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditor. The Company has an established a code of conduct. The management of the Company believes that the accounting and internal control systems provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and financial information is reliable.

15

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets regularly with the Company’s financial management and counsel, and with the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company. Internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting are discussed during these meetings. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standards No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), has been discussed by the Committee and the independent registered public accounting firm.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Company has undertaken and continues a comprehensive effort, which includes the documentation and review of its internal controls. In order to comply with the Act, the Company is in the process of centralizing most accounting and many administrative functions at its corporate headquarters in an effort to control the cost of maintaining its control systems.  On July 11, 2006, The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) issued guidance on how small companies should implement an effective internal control framework over financial reporting and other risks. This guidance is considered a key tool to help smaller public companies to confront the challenges of the Act.  As a result, the Company may 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 Auditing Standard No. 2, 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.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, on December 15, 2006, adopted new measures to grant relief to smaller public companies by extending the date of compliance with Section 404 of the Act.  Under these new measures, the Company will be required to comply with the Act in two phases.  The first phase will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 and will require the Company to issue a management report on internal control over financial reporting. The second phase will require the Company to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ending October 30, 2009.

In December 2006, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board voted to propose a new standard for auditing internal controls over financial reporting available for comment by the public.  The proposed standard will replace the Board’s current Auditing Standard No. 2.  The new standard proposes to remove unnecessary audit requirements while maintaining adequate internal control, provide direction on how to scale the audit for smaller and less complex companies, and reduce and simplify the text of the standard.  The Board plans to determine whether to adopt the final standard after close of the comment period and consent by the Securities and Exchange Commission after February 2007.

Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Haskell & White LLP

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Bridgford Foods Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bridgford Foods Corporation (the “Company”) as of November 3, 2006 and October 28, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the fiscal years ended November 3, 2006 and October 28, 2005. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the supplementary information included in Schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of November 3, 2006 and October 28, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years ended November 3, 2006 and October 28, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
