Item 2.02- Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 9, 2007, Bridgford Foods Corporation issued a press release to report its financial results for the first quarter (12 weeks) ended January 26, 2007. The release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
In connection with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 26, 2007, the Company reclassified its auction rate securities ("ARS") held at November 3, 2006 from cash and cash equivalents to trading securities. ARS are securities with stated maturities beyond three months that are priced and traded as short-term investments due to the liquidity provided through the auction mechanism that generally resets interest rates every 7 to 35 days. Although the risk of failure of an auction process is commercially believed to be remote, ARS do not meet the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95 definition of a cash equivalent and, therefore, require classification as marketable securities. Additionally, the Company anticipates filing an amendment to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2006 to reflect such reclassification. The above-mentioned reclassification will have no impact on the Company's previously reported results of operations.
