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 July 7, 2023 and July 8, 2022 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 Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). Due to seasonality and other factors, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Recent accounting pronouncements, if any, and their effect on the Company are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Report.

We have considered the impact of federal, state, and local government actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The business disruptions associated with the pandemic had a minimal impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2022, and during the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended July 7, 2023. Disruptions from the pandemic include but may not be limited to risks and uncertainty related to shifts in demand between sales channels, market volatility, constraints in our supply chain, our ability to operate production facilities and worker availability. The long-term impacts of COVID-19 are unknown and dependent upon future developments including COVID-19 variants and resurgences as well as actions taken by federal, state and local government officials.

The federal Public Health Emergency for COVID-19, declared under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act expired at the end of the day on May 11, 2023.

The October 28, 2022, balance sheet amounts within these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were derived from the audited fiscal year 2022 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 consider 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.

Comprehensive income or loss

Comprehensive income or loss consists of net income and additional minimum pension liability adjustments. There were no differences between net income and comprehensive income during each of the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended July 7, 2023 and July 8, 2022.

Customer Concentration > 20% of AR or >10% of Sales

The table below shows customers that accounted for more than 20% of consolidated accounts receivable (“AR”) or 10% of consolidated sales for the thirty-six weeks ended July 7, 2023, and July 8, 2022, 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 our own long-haul fleet, 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. Product is 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 expense. Any taxes collected on behalf of the government are excluded from net revenue.

We record revenue at the transaction price which is measured as the amount of consideration we anticipate receiving in exchange for providing products to our 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 to 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 July 7, 2023 and July 8, 2022, were $3,396 and $3,287, respectively. Promotional allowances deducted from sales for the thirty-six weeks ended July 7, 2023, and July 8, 2022, were $11,781 and $10,652, respectively.

Leases

Leases are recognized in accordance with ASC 842 Leases (“ASC 842”) which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities with lease terms of more than twelve months. We lease or rent property for operations such as storing inventory and equipment. We analyze our agreements to evaluate whether or not a lease exists by determining what assets exist for which we control usage for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In the event a lease exists, we classify it as a finance or operating lease and record 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, we made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and liabilities and 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 ROU lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities. The Company’s leases of long-haul trucks used in its Frozen Food Products segment qualify as finance leases. Finance lease liabilities are recorded under other liabilities, the consolidated balance sheets reflecting both the current and long-term obligation.

Subsequent events

Management has evaluated events subsequent to July 7, 2023, through August 18, 2023, the date that the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events which may require adjustments of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.

We are currently in discussion with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to amend our line of credit and decrease it to $7,500 from $15,000 with a change fee of $25 and an unused commitment fee of 0.25% of the available loan amount. We plan to sign the amended line of credit prior to its expiration on August 31, 2023. The amended line of credit will expire on August 31, 2024. Under the terms of this line of credit, we may borrow up to $7,500 at an interest rate equal to the bank’s prime rate or secured overnight financing rate SOFR plus 2.0%. The line of credit contains various covenants, the more significant of which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum quick ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of July 7, 2023.

Based on Management’s review, no other material events were identified that require adjustment to the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are 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 July 7, 2023, or July 8, 2022.
