| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Bridgford Foods Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) for the twelve weeks ended January 23, 2026 and January 24, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X, and include all adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the interim periods. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our first fiscal quarter ended January 23, 2026 (this “Report”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). Due to seasonality and other factors, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The October 31, 2025, balance sheet amounts within these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were derived from the audited fiscal year 2025 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report.
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Some of the estimates made by management include the allowance for doubtful accounts, promotional and returns allowances, inventory reserves, the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and the valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets. Management determines the amounts to record based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we view as reasonable under the circumstances and considers all relevant available information. Actual results could materially differ from these 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 which vary from our current estimates. Market conditions and the volatility in stock markets may cause significant changes in the measurement of our pension fund liabilities and the performance of our life insurance policies in future periods.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued payroll, and notes payable. The carrying amount of these instruments approximate fair market value due to their short-term maturity or market interest rates. The Company has accounts with nationally recognized financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with regard to its cash and cash equivalents. The Company grants payment terms to a significant number of customers that are diversified over a wide geographic area. The Company monitors the payment histories of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is reviewed for adequacy on a quarterly basis. The Company does not require collateral from its customers.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4,813 as of January 23, 2026, all of which were held at Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), except for $100 with Bank of America. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $876 as of October 31, 2025, all of which were held at Wells Fargo, except for $100 with Bank of America.
Comprehensive income or loss
Comprehensive income or loss consists of net loss and additional minimum pension liability adjustments. There were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss during each of the twelve weeks ended January 23, 2026, and January 24, 2025, respectively.
Customer Concentration > 20% of AR or >10% of Sales
The table below shows customers that accounted for more than 20% of consolidated accounts receivables (“AR”) or 10% of consolidated sales for the twelve weeks ended January 23, 2026, and January 24, 2025, respectively.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers upon passage of title to the customer. Products are delivered to customers primarily through common carrier, or through a Company-owned direct-store-delivery system.
The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of the product at the point in time when our performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the product has transferred to our customer, which generally occurs upon product shipment, pickup or delivery to a customer based on terms of the sale. Contracts with customers are typically short-term in nature with completion of a single performance obligation. Products are sold to foodservice, retail, institutional and other distribution channels. Shipping and handling that occurs after the customer has obtained control of the product is recorded as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional performance obligation. Costs paid to third party brokers to obtain contracts are recognized as part of selling expenses. Other sundry items in context of the contract are also recognized as selling expenses. Any taxes collected on behalf of the government are excluded from net revenue.
The Company records revenue at the transaction price which is measured as the amount of consideration the Company anticipates receiving in exchange for providing products to customers. Revenue is recognized as the net amount estimated to be received after deducting estimated or known amounts including variable consideration for discounts, trade allowances, consumer incentives, coupons, volume-based incentives, cooperative advertising, product returns and other such programs. Promotional allowances, including customer incentive and trade promotion activities, are recorded as a reduction in sales based on amounts estimated being due to customers, based primarily on historical utilization and redemption rates. Estimates are reviewed regularly until incentives or product returns are realized and the result of any such adjustments are known. Promotional allowances deducted from sales for the twelve weeks ended January 23, 2026, and January 24, 2025, were $3,889 and $3,823, respectively.
Leases
Leases are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842 Leases (“ASC 842”) which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities with lease terms of more than twelve months. The company leases or rents property for operations such as storing inventory and equipment. The company analyzes agreements to evaluate whether or not a lease exists by determining what assets exist for which control usage for a period of time is exchanged for consideration. In the event a lease exists, the Company classifies it as a finance or operating lease and records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and the corresponding lease liability at the inception of the lease. The classification as a finance or operating lease determines whether the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows are considered operating or financing. In the case of month-to-month lease or rental agreements with terms of twelve months or less, the Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and liabilities and instead record them on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The storage units rented on a month-to-month basis for use by our Snack Food Products segment direct-store-delivery route system are not costly to relocate and contain no significant leasehold improvements or degree of integration over leased assets. Orders can be fulfilled by another route storage unit interchangeably. No specialized assets exist in the rental storage units. Market price is paid for storage units. No guarantee of debt is made.
ROU lease assets are recorded within property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company leases warehouse space from time to time that is recorded as a ROU lease asset and corresponding lease liability. The Company no longer leases long-haul trucks that were used by the Frozen Food Products segment. However, we have leased one refrigerated truck used in the Frozen Food Products segment. Finance lease liabilities are recorded under other liabilities. The condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect both the current and long-term obligations.
The Company leased a parking lot to a lessee in accordance with ASC 842 under a 60-month lease contract. Legal ownership does not transfer at the end of the lease. The Company retains ownership of the parking lot. There is no net book value of the underlying asset. The Company recorded a lease receivable, both the current and non-current components, less executory costs including broker’s commissions. The discount rate implicit in the lease is used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments. Revenue will be deferred until earned and is recorded in current and non-current liabilities.
Subsequent events
Management has evaluated events subsequent to January 23, 2026, through the date that the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for transactions and other events which may require adjustments of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.
On January 27, 2026, $1,000 of cash from operations was used to pay down the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo leaving a remaining balance of $1,000. Refer to Note 6 – Equipment Notes Payable and Financial Arrangements to the Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Report for further information.
On February 19, 2026, the Company signed a lease agreement with FNC Capital for equipment financing of $2,000 for three years collateralized by production and packaging equipment. The loan is expected to fund in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.
No other material events subsequent to January 23, 2026, were identified that require adjustment to the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for all periods presented. No stock options, warrants, or other potentially dilutive convertible securities were outstanding as of January 23, 2026, or January 24, 2025.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements and regulations
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. ASU No. 2023-07 enhances disclosures of significant segment expenses by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), extending certain annual disclosures to interim periods, and permitting more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as we have historically disclosed financial data at the operating segment level.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted rules to develop standardized climate-related disclosures by publicly traded companies, including the emission of greenhouse gases which are expected to take effect in the fiscal year beginning in 2027. However, as a result of pending legal challenges, the actual timing of effectiveness of the rules and applicable phase-in periods, as well as whether portions of the rules will remain in effect after the legal challenges, are uncertain. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact on the financial statements.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA includes numerous provisions that affect corporate taxation, including changes to bonus depreciation, the expensing of domestic research costs, and modifications to certain U.S. international tax rules. The Company has analyzed the impacts of the OBBBA and reflected them in the current period. These impacts did not have a material effect on the tax rate for the quarter ended January 23, 2026. The majority of the tax law changes will take effect in future years. The Company continues to evaluate the long-term impacts of the OBBBA on its financial statements.
