Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 1 - The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Bridgford Foods Corporation was organized in 1952. We originally began 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 we and our 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Use of estimates and assumptions 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, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts estimated related to liabilities for pension benefits, self-insured workers’ compensation and employee healthcare benefits are subject to inherent uncertainties and these estimated liabilities may ultimately settle at amounts which may vary from current estimates. Other areas with underlying estimates include realization of deferred tax assets, cash surrender or contract value of life insurance policies, promotional allowances and the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves. Management believes its current estimates are reasonable and based on the best information available at the time. We test long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment is indicated, we measure the fair value of assets to determine if and when adjustments are recorded. Subsequent events Management has evaluated events subsequent to November 3, 2017 through the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which reforms U.S. Tax legislation and related laws. One of the provisions of the new tax law reduces the company’s U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from the current 34% to 21%. This legislation was enacted after the close of our 2017 fiscal year end. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fifty-three weeks ended November 3, 2017 does not include the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. Our deferred tax assets will be revalued at the lower rate during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 ending January 26, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new tax law on its financial condition and results of operations. Based on management’s review, no other material events were identified that require adjustment to the financial statements or additional disclosure. Concentrations of credit risk Our credit risk is diversified across a broad range of customers and geographic regions. Losses due to credit risk have recently been immaterial. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair market value due to the short maturity of these instruments. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management does not believe there is significant credit risk associated with these financial institutions. The provision for doubtful accounts receivable is based on historical trends and current collectability risk. We have significant accounts receivable with a few large, well known customers which, although historically secure, could be subject to material risk should these customers’ operations suddenly deteriorate. Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 37.7% of revenues in fiscal 2017 and 36.9% of total accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart® as of November 3, 2017. Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 34.8% of revenues in fiscal 2016 and 35.6% of total accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart as of ® October 28, 2016. Business segments Our company and its subsidiaries operate in two business segments - the processing and distribution of frozen foods products, and the processing and distribution of snack food products. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Fiscal year We maintain our accounting records on a 52-53 week fiscal basis ending on the Friday closest to October 31. As part of the regular accounting cycle, fiscal year 2017 included 53 weeks and fiscal year 2016 included 52 weeks. Revenues 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 our own long-haul fleet or through a Company owned direct store delivery system. These delivery costs, $3,556 and $3,456 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We record promotional and returns allowances based on recent and historical trends. Revenue is recognized as the net amount estimated to be received after deducting estimated amounts for discounts, trade allowances and product returns. 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. Promotional allowances deducted from sales for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were $9,123 and $8,578, respectively. Advertising expenses Advertising and other promotional expenses are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were $2,403 and $2,055, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include money market funds and treasury bills. Cash equivalents totaled $12,109 as of November 3, 2017 and $6,985 as of October 28, 2016. All material cash and cash equivalents as of November 3, 2017 were held at Wells Fargo Bank N.A. Fair value measurements We classify levels of inputs to measure the fair value of financial assets as follows: ● Level 1 inputs: Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. ● Level 2 inputs: Level 2 inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. ● Level 3 inputs: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The hierarchy noted above requires us to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis for the fiscal years ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Costs related to warehousing, transportation and distribution to customers are considered when computing market value. Inventories include the cost of raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and write down any excess or obsolete inventories to net realizable value. An inventory reserve is created when potentially slow-moving or obsolete inventories are identified in order to reflect the appropriate inventory value. Changes in economic conditions, production requirements, and lower than expected customer demand could result in additional obsolete or slow-moving inventory that cannot be sold or must be sold at reduced prices and could result in additional reserve provisions. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over 10 to 20 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and 3 to 5 years for transportation equipment. Capital leases Leased property and equipment that meet capital lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the minimum payments required under the lease or the fair value of the asset at inception of the lease and are included within property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. Obligations under capital leases are accounted for as current and noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Life insurance policies We record the cash surrender value 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. The cash surrender value is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Income taxes 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 determination as to whether or not a deferred tax asset can be fully realized is subject to a significant degree of judgment, based at least partially upon a projection of future taxable income, which takes into consideration past and future trends in profitability, customer demand, supply costs, and multiple other factors, none of which are predictable. We provide tax accruals for federal, state and local exposures relating to audit results, tax planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities. The development of these accruals requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing. (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 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. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our results of operations. Stock-based compensation We 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. We have not issued, awarded, granted or entered into any stock-based payment agreements since April 29, 1999. Comprehensive income Comprehensive income consists of net income and additional minimum pension liability adjustments. Recently issued accounting pronouncements and regulations In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which are either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates using the modified retrospective transition method beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the full impact of adoption of this guidance and does not presently expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements aside from more detailed and improved disclosure requirements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The guidance is part of the “Simplification Initiative” to identify and re-evaluate areas where the generally accepted accounting principles may be complex and cumbersome to apply. The guidance will require that inventory be stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value as opposed to the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price for the inventory less completion, disposal and transportation costs. The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company already values inventory by the proposed method. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 6, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company applied this guidance to its fiscal year ended November 3, 2017. Adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the results of operations or financial position. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The guidance requires both operating and capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The guidance involves eight specific cash flow issues and aims to unify accounting for these transactions. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and its impact on its results of operations or financial position. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits”. The guidance separates service cost from other pension cost components changing the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to company sponsored defined benefit or other postretirement benefits. The guidance becomes effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and its impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Retirement and Other Benefit Plans	NOTE 3 - Retirement and Other Benefit Plans: Noncontributory-Trusteed Defined Benefit Retirement Plans for Sales, Administrative, Supervisory and Certain Other Employees We have noncontributory-trusteed defined benefit retirement plans for sales, administrative, supervisory and certain other employees. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, we froze future benefit accruals under this plan for employees classified within the administrative, sales or supervisory job classifications or within any non-bargaining class. The benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation levels. The funding policy of the plan requires contributions which are at least equal to the minimum required contributions needed to avoid a funding deficiency. The measurement date for the plan is our fiscal year end. Net pension cost consisted of the following: November 3, 2017 October 28, 2016 (53 Weeks) (52 Weeks) Service cost $ 131 $ 130 Interest cost 2,196 2,448 Expected return on plan assets (2,901 ) (2,871 ) Amortization of unrecognized loss 2,412 1,927 Net pension cost $ 1,838 $ 1,634 Net pension costs and benefit obligations are determined using assumptions as of the beginning of each fiscal year. Weighted average assumptions for each fiscal year are as follows: 2017 2016 Discount rate 3.65 % 3.40 % Rate of increase in salary levels N/A N/A Expected return on plan assets 7.00 % 7.00 % The benefit obligation, plan assets, and funded status of these plans as of the fiscal years ended are as follows: November 3, 2017 October 28, 2016 (53 Weeks) (52 Weeks) Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets - beginning of year $ 41,871 $ 41,419 Employer contributions 1,150 1,150 Actual return on plan assets 6,853 790 Benefits paid (1,666 ) (1,488 ) Fair value of plan assets - end of year $ 48,209 $ 41,871 Change in benefit obligations: Benefit obligations - beginning of year $ 68,287 $ 59,931 Service cost 131 130 Interest cost 2,196 2,448 Actuarial (gain) loss (6,468 ) 7,266 Benefits paid (1,666 ) (1,488 ) Benefit obligations - end of year 62,480 68,287 Funded status of the plans (14,271 ) (26,416 ) Unrecognized prior service costs - - Unrecognized net actuarial loss 20,431 33,264 Net amount recognized $ 6,160 $ 6,848 We perform an internal rate of return analysis when making the discount rate selection. The discount rates were based on Citigroup Pension Liability Index as of October 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Plan assets are primarily invested in marketable equity securities, corporate and government debt securities and are administered by an investment management company. The plans’ long-term return on assets is based on the weighted-average of the plans’ investment allocation as of the measurement date and the published historical returns for those types of asset categories, taking into consideration inflation rate forecasts. Our expected employer contribution to the plan in fiscal year 2018 is $1,150. During fiscal year 2015, our actuary updated mortality tables from the IRS 2014 Combined Static Mortality assumptions to the SOA RP 2014 Total Dataset Adjusted to 2006 with Scale MP-2015. The change in mortality table resulted in a significant liability increase in fiscal year 2015 as well as an increased net periodic pension cost (NPPC) projection for fiscal year 2016. The expected rate of return on plan assets remained the same at 7.00% effective for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. The actual and target allocation for plan assets are as follows: Asset Class 2017 Target Asset Allocation 2016 Target Asset Allocation Large Cap Equities 29.7 % 30.0 % 32.0 % 32.0 % Mid Cap Equities 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Small Cap Equities 13.2 % 12.0 % 12.1 % 12.0 % International (equities only) 22.9 % 23.0 % 21.3 % 21.0 % Fixed Income 32.2 % 33.0 % 30.7 % 31.0 % Other (Government/Corporate, Bonds) 0.0 % 0.0 % 2.0 % 2.0 % Cash 2.0 % 2.0 % 1.9 % 2.0 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The fair value of our pension plan assets as of November 3, 2017 and the level under which fair values were determined, using the hierarchy described in Note 1, is as follows: 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Total plan assets $ 48,209 - - $ 48,209 Expected payments for the pension benefits are as follows: Fiscal Years Pension Benefits 2017 $ 2,123 2018 $ 2,254 2019 $ 2,193 2020 $ 2,554 2021 $ 2,722 2022-2026 $ 16,047 Executive Retirement Plans Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Effective January 1, 1991, we adopted a deferred compensation savings plan for certain key employees. Under this arrangement, selected employees contribute a portion of their annual compensation to the plan. We contribute an amount to each participant’s account by computing an investment return equal to Moody’s Average Seasoned Bond Rate plus 2%. Employees receive vested amounts upon death, termination or attainment of retirement age. No benefit expense was recorded under these plans for fiscal years 2017 and 2016. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan In fiscal year 1991, we adopted a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for certain key employees. Benefits provided under the plan are equal to 60% of the employee’s final average earnings, less amounts provided by our defined benefit pension plan and amounts available through Social Security. Benefits payable related to these plans and included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements were $5,607 and $5,454 as of November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, respectively. In connection with these arrangements we are the beneficiary of life insurance policies on the lives of certain key employees and retirees. The aggregate cash surrender value of these policies, included in non-current assets, was $13,105 and $13,769 as of November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, respectively. Expected payments for executive postretirement benefits are as follows: Fiscal Years Executive Postretirement Benefits 2018 $ 126 2019 $ 293 2020 $ 526 2021 $ 526 2022 $ 526 2023-2027 $ 2,631 Incentive Compensation Plan for Certain Key Executives We provide an incentive compensation plan for certain key executives, which is based upon our pretax income. The payment of these amounts is generally deferred over three or five-year periods. The total amount payable related to this arrangement was $10,530 and $7,098 as of November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, respectively. Future payments are approximately $4,502, $3,745, $2,089, $132 and $63 for fiscal years 2018 through 2022, respectively. Postretirement Healthcare Benefits for Selected Executive Employees We provide postretirement health care benefits for selected executive employees. Net periodic postretirement healthcare (benefit) cost is determined using assumptions as of the beginning of each fiscal year, except for the total actual benefit payments and the discount rate used to develop the net periodic postretirement benefit expense, which is determined at the end of the fiscal year. Net periodic postretirement healthcare (benefit) cost consisted of the following: November 3. 2017 October 28. 2016 (53 Weeks) (52 Weeks) Service cost $ 13 $ 13 Interest cost 17 28 Amortization of prior service cost (132 ) (132 ) Amortization of actuarial gain (58 ) (106 ) Net periodic postretirement healthcare (benefit) $ (160 ) $ (197 ) Weighted average assumptions for the fiscal years ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016 are as follows: 2017 2016 Discount rate 3.51 % 3.38 % Medical trend rate next year 8.50 % 8.50 % Ultimate trend rate 5.00 % 5.00 % Year ultimate trend rate is achieved 2022 2021 The table below shows the estimated effect of a 1% increase in healthcare cost trend rate on the following: 2017 2016 Interest cost plus service cost $ 4 $ 6 Accumulated postretirement healthcare obligation $ 64 $ 59 The table below shows the estimated effect of a 1% decrease in healthcare cost trend rate on the following: 2017 2016 Interest cost plus service cost $ (4 ) $ (5 ) Accumulated postretirement healthcare obligation $ (53 ) $ (49 ) The healthcare obligation and funded status of this plan as of the fiscal years ended are as follows: 2017 2016 Change in accumulated postretirement healthcare obligation: Healthcare obligation - beginning of year $ 511 $ 1,003 Service cost 13 13 Interest cost 17 28 Eliminate FSA - (441 ) Actuarial (gain) loss (11 ) (89 ) Benefits paid (2 ) (3 ) Healthcare obligation – end of year $ 528 $ 511 Funded status of the plans 528 511 Unrecognized prior service costs (176 ) (308 ) Unrecognized net actuarial gain (110 ) (156 ) Unrecognized amounts recorded in other comprehensive income 286 464 Postretirement healthcare liability $ 528 $ 511 Expected payments for the postretirement benefits are as follows: Fiscal Years Postretirement Heathcare Benefits 2018 $ 54 2019 $ 78 2020 $ 62 2021-2025 $ 131 401(K) Plan for Sales, Administrative, Supervisory and Certain Other Employees During the fiscal year ended November 3, 2006, we implemented a qualified 401(K) retirement plan (the “Plan”) for our sales, administrative, supervisory and certain other employees. During fiscal years 2017 and 2016, we made total employer contributions to the Plan in the amounts of $599 and $549, respectively.

Management evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine the need and appropriateness of a valuation allowance. In its determinations, Management considers items of evidence, both positive and negative, including those items outlined in ASC 740. The Company policy outlines measurable objective criteria that must be met before a release of the valuation allowance will occur. The three criteria set forth in the policy must all be satisfied before the valuation allowance can be reversed. The three criteria were met and the valuation allowance was reversed in its entirety during fiscal year 2015. The Company continues to measure the realizability of its deferred tax assets against the preset criteria. The criteria are as follows: first, the Company’s available federal tax net operating loss (“NOL”) must be zero; second, the prior thirty-six month cumulative book basis pre-tax income (loss), after considering “one-time” events, is positive; third, the Company considers its outlook of near term continued profitable operations and assesses any material negative and positive trends or events on the immediate horizon. As of November 3, 2017, the Company (1) has utilized its entire federal net operating loss, (2) has positive thirty-six month cumulative book income and (3) positive economic factors including more stable commodity markets and current profitable operations are present. Management reevaluated the need for a full valuation allowance as of November 3, 2017 and determined that some of its California NOL may not be utilized. Therefore a valuation allowance of $77 has been provided for such portion of California NOL. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the other deferred tax assets as of November 3, 2017 will be realized. Due to the degree of judgment involved, actual taxable income could differ materially from management’s estimates, or the timing of taxable income could be such that the net operating losses could expire prior to their utilization. Management could determine in the future that the assets are unrealizable, materially decreasing net income in one or more periods. Following recognition, management could reinstate a full valuation allowance should operating performance decline. As of November 3, 2017 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $874 for state purposes. These loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2022 through 2033. In July 2006, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This interpretation prescribed a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also discussed derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of this guidance have been incorporated into ASC 740-10. In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance in ASU 2015-17 concerning the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes in an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. All deferred tax liabilities and assets should now be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position to simplify presentation of deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have already adopted this guidance and the change is reflected as of October 28, 2016. As of November 3, 2017, we have provided a liability of $135 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. A significant portion of this amount would generally reduce our effective income tax rate if recognized in future reporting periods. We have not identified any new unrecognized tax benefits. As of October 28, 2016, we have provided a liability of $130 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. A significant portion of this amount would generally reduce our effective income tax rate if recognized in future reporting periods. We have not identified any new unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: November 3, 2017 October 28, 2016 (53 Weeks) (52 Weeks) Balance at beginning of year $ 130 $ 112 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 14 16 Additions for tax positions of prior years - 2 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (9 ) - Settlements - - Balance at end of year $ 135 $ 130 We recognize any future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of November 3, 2017, we had approximately $5 in accrued interest and penalties which is included as a component of the $135 unrecognized tax benefit noted above. Our federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2014 through 2016. We are subject to income tax in California and various other state taxing jurisdictions. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 through 2016. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Nov. 03, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates and Assumptions	Use of estimates and assumptions 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, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts estimated related to liabilities for pension benefits, self-insured workers’ compensation and employee healthcare benefits are subject to inherent uncertainties and these estimated liabilities may ultimately settle at amounts which may vary from current estimates. Other areas with underlying estimates include realization of deferred tax assets, cash surrender or contract value of life insurance policies, promotional allowances and the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves. Management believes its current estimates are reasonable and based on the best information available at the time. We test long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment is indicated, we measure the fair value of assets to determine if and when adjustments are recorded.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent events Management has evaluated events subsequent to November 3, 2017 through the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which reforms U.S. Tax legislation and related laws. One of the provisions of the new tax law reduces the company’s U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from the current 34% to 21%. This legislation was enacted after the close of our 2017 fiscal year end. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fifty-three weeks ended November 3, 2017 does not include the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. Our deferred tax assets will be revalued at the lower rate during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 ending January 26, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new tax law on its financial condition and results of operations. Based on management’s review, no other material events were identified that require adjustment to the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of credit risk Our credit risk is diversified across a broad range of customers and geographic regions. Losses due to credit risk have recently been immaterial. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair market value due to the short maturity of these instruments. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management does not believe there is significant credit risk associated with these financial institutions. The provision for doubtful accounts receivable is based on historical trends and current collectability risk. We have significant accounts receivable with a few large, well known customers which, although historically secure, could be subject to material risk should these customers’ operations suddenly deteriorate. Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 37.7% of revenues in fiscal 2017 and 36.9% of total accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart® as of November 3, 2017. Sales to Wal-Mart® comprised 34.8% of revenues in fiscal 2016 and 35.6% of total accounts receivable was due from Wal-Mart as of ® October 28, 2016.
Business Segments	Business segments Our company and its subsidiaries operate in two business segments - the processing and distribution of frozen foods products, and the processing and distribution of snack food products. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal year We maintain our accounting records on a 52-53 week fiscal basis ending on the Friday closest to October 31. As part of the regular accounting cycle, fiscal year 2017 included 53 weeks and fiscal year 2016 included 52 weeks.
Revenues	Revenues 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 our own long-haul fleet or through a Company owned direct store delivery system. These delivery costs, $3,556 and $3,456 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We record promotional and returns allowances based on recent and historical trends. Revenue is recognized as the net amount estimated to be received after deducting estimated amounts for discounts, trade allowances and product returns. 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. Promotional allowances deducted from sales for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were $9,123 and $8,578, respectively.
Advertising Expenses	Advertising expenses Advertising and other promotional expenses are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were $2,403 and $2,055, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include money market funds and treasury bills. Cash equivalents totaled $12,109 as of November 3, 2017 and $6,985 as of October 28, 2016. All material cash and cash equivalents as of November 3, 2017 were held at Wells Fargo Bank N.A.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair value measurements We classify levels of inputs to measure the fair value of financial assets as follows: ● Level 1 inputs: Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. ● Level 2 inputs: Level 2 inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. ● Level 3 inputs: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The hierarchy noted above requires us to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis for the fiscal years ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Costs related to warehousing, transportation and distribution to customers are considered when computing market value. Inventories include the cost of raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and write down any excess or obsolete inventories to net realizable value. An inventory reserve is created when potentially slow-moving or obsolete inventories are identified in order to reflect the appropriate inventory value. Changes in economic conditions, production requirements, and lower than expected customer demand could result in additional obsolete or slow-moving inventory that cannot be sold or must be sold at reduced prices and could result in additional reserve provisions.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over 10 to 20 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and 3 to 5 years for transportation equipment.
Capital Leases	Capital leases Leased property and equipment that meet capital lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the minimum payments required under the lease or the fair value of the asset at inception of the lease and are included within property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. Obligations under capital leases are accounted for as current and noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Life Insurance Policies	Life insurance policies We record the cash surrender value 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. The cash surrender value is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes	Income taxes 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 determination as to whether or not a deferred tax asset can be fully realized is subject to a significant degree of judgment, based at least partially upon a projection of future taxable income, which takes into consideration past and future trends in profitability, customer demand, supply costs, and multiple other factors, none of which are predictable. We provide tax accruals for federal, state and local exposures relating to audit results, tax planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities. The development of these accruals requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing. (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 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. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our results of operations.
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based compensation We 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. We have not issued, awarded, granted or entered into any stock-based payment agreements since April 29, 1999.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive income Comprehensive income consists of net income and additional minimum pension liability adjustments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations	Recently issued accounting pronouncements and regulations In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which are either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates using the modified retrospective transition method beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the full impact of adoption of this guidance and does not presently expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements aside from more detailed and improved disclosure requirements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The guidance is part of the “Simplification Initiative” to identify and re-evaluate areas where the generally accepted accounting principles may be complex and cumbersome to apply. The guidance will require that inventory be stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value as opposed to the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price for the inventory less completion, disposal and transportation costs. The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company already values inventory by the proposed method. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 6, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company applied this guidance to its fiscal year ended November 3, 2017. Adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the results of operations or financial position. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The guidance requires both operating and capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The guidance involves eight specific cash flow issues and aims to unify accounting for these transactions. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and its impact on its results of operations or financial position. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits”. The guidance separates service cost from other pension cost components changing the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to company sponsored defined benefit or other postretirement benefits. The guidance becomes effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and its impact on its results of operations or financial position.
