NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1. Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Bob
Evans Farms, Inc. ("Bob Evans") and its subsidiaries (collectively, Bob
Evans and its subsidiaries are referred to as the "company") are presented
in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not
include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles, or those normally made in the company's Form 10-K
filing. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
of the company's financial position and results of operations have been
included. The financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for a full fiscal year. No significant changes have
occurred in the disclosures made in Bob Evans' Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended April 30, 2004 (refer to the Form 10-K for a summary of
significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements).
2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share computations are based on the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period presented. Diluted earnings per share calculations reflect the
assumed exercise and conversion of employee stock options.
The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per
share for each period is reported net income. The denominator is based on
the following weighted-average number of common shares outstanding:

3. Stock-Based Employee Compensation
The company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans
under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized for stock options when the exercise price of the options is
equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock at the grant
date.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition

4. Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the cost in excess of net assets
acquired, was $105,265,000 and $1,567,000 at July 30, 2004 and April 30,
2004, respectively. The increase in goodwill is due to the acquisition of
SWH Corporation (d/b/a Mimi's Cafe) (see note 6 below). SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires an annual impairment test
instead of amortization of goodwill. The company performs the annual test
at the end of the fourth quarter.
5. Industry Segments
The company's operations include restaurant operations and the
processing and sale of food and related products. The revenues from these
segments include both sales to unaffiliated customers and intersegment
sales, which are accounted for on a basis consistent with sales to
unaffiliated customers. Intersegment sales and other intersegment
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements. Information on the company's operating segments is summarized
as follows:

6. Acquisition and Debt Issuance
On July 7, 2004, the company acquired all of the stock of SWH
Corporation (d/b/a Mimi's Cafe) for approximately $103 million in cash,
plus the assumption of approximately $79 million in outstanding
indebtedness.
SWH Corporation, based in Tustin, California, operates 81
company-owned Mimi's Cafe restaurants in 10 states, with most locations in
California and other western states. The restaurants are open for
breakfast, lunch and dinner, and offer a wide variety of freshly prepared
food in an atmosphere reminiscent of a New Orleans cafe or European
bistro.
The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting as required by SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and
accordingly, the results of operations of SWH
-7-
Corporation have been included in the company's consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition.
The primary reason for the acquisition was to add a complementary
growth vehicle in the casual segment of the restaurant industry. The
company attributes the goodwill associated with the transaction to the
long-term historical financial performance and the anticipated future
performance of SWH Corporation.
The company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of
certain intangible assets of SWH Corporation; thus, the purchase price
allocation required by SFAS No. 141 has not yet been finalized.
The acquisition was financed through a committed credit facility of
approximately $183 million; the proceeds of which were used to purchase
all of the outstanding stock of SWH Corporation, repay existing
indebtedness of SWH Corporation and pay certain transaction expenses. The
credit facility was refinanced on July 28, 2004 through a private
placement of $190 million in unsecured senior notes. Maturities range from
3 to 12 years, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.9%.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL OVERVIEW
As of July 30, 2004, the company owned and operated 648 full-service
restaurants in 32 states, including 567 Bob Evans Restaurants (all references to
Bob Evans Restaurants include Owens Restaurants) and 81 Mimi's Cafe restaurants.
The company acquired SWH Corporation (d/b/a Mimi's Cafe) ("Mimi's") in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 (see note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).
Revenue in the restaurant segment is recognized at the point of sale. The
company also produces and distributes fresh and fully cooked pork products and
other complementary food products primarily to grocery stores in the East North
Central, Mid-Atlantic, Southern and Southwestern United States. Frozen rolls,
biscuits and entrees are distributed primarily to grocery stores in Ohio and
various surrounding areas. Revenue in the food products segment is generally
recognized when products are delivered to the retailer.
The following table reflects data for the company's first fiscal quarter
ended July 30, 2004, compared to the prior year's first fiscal quarter ended
July 25, 2003. The consolidated information is derived from the accompanying
consolidated statements of income. Also included is data for the company's two
industry segments - restaurant operations and food products. The consolidated
and restaurant segment information contains financial results for Mimi's after
July 7, 2004 only. The ratios presented reflect the underlying dollar values
expressed as a percentage of the applicable net sales amount.

RESTAURANT SEGMENT OVERVIEW
The ongoing economic and industry-wide factors relevant to the restaurant
segment include: competition, same-store sales (defined in the "Sales" section
below), labor and fringe benefit expenses, commodity prices, energy prices,
restaurant openings and closings, governmental initiatives, food safety and
other risks such as the economy, weather and consumer acceptance. For the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, the three factors that had the greatest impact on
restaurant segment profitability were:
1) lower same-store sales at Bob Evans Restaurants;
2) higher commodity prices for the food items purchased; and
3) increased costs associated with opening new restaurants.
The restaurant information contains financial results for Mimi's after
July 7, 2004, or approximately three weeks of operating results in the quarter.
First quarter same-store sales at Bob Evans Restaurants decreased 3.1% compared
to the corresponding period last year. Management believes that higher gasoline
prices and a lagging economic recovery in the Midwest negatively impacted
same-store sales.
Higher commodity prices put negative pressure on restaurant cost of sales
in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. If restaurant cost of sales matched the
rate in the corresponding quarter last year (24.1% last year vs. 24.4% this
year), and all other factors remained constant, restaurant operating income
would have been approximately $800,000 higher.
A shift in the timing of new restaurant openings resulted in a $900,000
increase in pre-opening expenses in the first quarter compared to the
corresponding quarter last year. This increase is reflected in both operating
wages and other operating expenses with a corresponding decrease to restaurant
operating income.
All three of the factors are discussed further in the detailed sections
that follow. However, the end result is that restaurant operating income
declined $3.9 million, or 13.9%, in the first quarter this year compared to a
year ago. Furthermore, the segment's operating income margin fell to 8.9% from
11.2% during the same periods.
-10-
FOOD PRODUCTS SEGMENT OVERVIEW
The ongoing economic and industry-wide factors relevant to the food
products segment include: hog costs, governmental initiatives, food safety and
other risks such as the economy, weather and consumer acceptance. For the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, the one factor that had the greatest impact on food
products segment profitability was the dramatic increase in hog costs.
Food products segment net sales increased 6.4% in the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 compared to the same period last year. The higher net sales were
driven by a combination of a 1.2% increase in pounds sold of comparable products
(principally sausage and refrigerated potatoes) and less discounting (via
promotional spending). Promotional spending represents sales incentives in the
form of "off-invoice" deductions, cooperative advertising programs and coupons,
which are all classified as a reduction of net sales. The decrease in
promotional spending resulted in a slightly higher net sales price and better
profit margins for the products sold.
Hog costs represent the majority of food products segment cost of sales,
and the volatile nature of hog costs greatly impacts the profitability of the
segment. For the first quarter, hog costs increased 45.5% compared with the
quarter a year ago. This increase caused cost of sales in the food products
segment to increase from 47.0% to 56.5% of sales in the corresponding periods.
The significant increase in cost of sales resulted in an operating loss of
$833,000 compared to a profit of $2.7 million in the corresponding period last
year.
-11-
SALES
Consolidated net sales increased 8.5% to $320.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The
increase was comprised of sales increases in the restaurant segment and food
products segment of $22.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Restaurant
sales (including Mimi's sales for the period after July 7, 2004 only) accounted
for 84.1% of consolidated sales in the first quarter.
Restaurant sales increased $22.1 million, or 8.9%, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 compared to the corresponding period a year ago. The first quarter
increase was the result of more restaurants in operation (567 Bob Evans
Restaurants and 81 Mimi's Cafe restaurants at quarter end versus 524 Bob Evans
Restaurants a year ago), offset by a decrease in same-store sales. Bob Evans
Restaurants experienced a same-store sales decline of 3.1% in the quarter, which
included an average menu price increase of 2.4%. Bob Evans Restaurant same-store
sales computations are based on net sales of stores open two full fiscal years
as of the beginning of the fiscal year and are measured in comparison to the
corresponding period in the prior year. Sales of stores to be rebuilt are
excluded from the computation beginning in the period that construction
commences on the replacement building. Sales of closed stores are excluded from
the computation beginning in the period of closure. Mimi's sales were included
for the period subsequent to July 7, 2004 only.
The chart below summarizes the restaurant openings and closings during the
last five quarters for Bob Evans restaurants and one quarter for Mimi's
restaurants:

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, 11 new Bob Evans Restaurants opened,
compared to 3 in the corresponding period a year ago. Mimi's did not open any
restaurants in the first quarter of 2005. The company expects to open an
additional 29 Bob Evans Restaurants and 12 Mimi's Cafe restaurants,
respectively, in fiscal 2005. Two under-performing Bob Evans Restaurants were
closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
The food products segment experienced a sales increase of $3.1 million, or
6.4%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the corresponding period a
year ago. The first quarter sales increase was due to a 1.2% increase in the
volume of comparable products sold (principally sausage products and
refrigerated potatoes) in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 versus fiscal 2004.
Comparable pounds sold is calculated using the same products in both periods and
excludes new products. A $2.6 million decrease in promotional spending, which is
classified as a reduction of net sales, also contributed to the increase in
sales.
COST OF SALES
Consolidated cost of sales (cost of materials) was 29.5% of sales in the
company's first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 27.8%, in the corresponding
period a year ago.
-13-
In the first quarter, cost of sales (predominantly food cost) increased in
the restaurant segment to 24.4% of sales this year from 24.1% of sales last
year. A majority of the increase was attributable to higher commodity prices.
The food products segment increase in cost of sales (56.5% of sales in
this year's first quarter versus 47.0% last year) was due to higher hog costs,
which averaged $52.31 per hundredweight for the first quarter of fiscal 2005
compared to $35.94 per hundredweight in the corresponding period last year - a
45.5% increase. The company expects that hog costs may moderate later in the
fiscal year.
OPERATING WAGE AND FRINGE BENEFIT EXPENSES
Consolidated operating wage and fringe benefit expenses ("operating
wages") were 35.2% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to
34.7% of sales in the corresponding period last year. The operating wage ratio
increased in the restaurant segment and decreased in the food products segment.
In the restaurant segment, the increase in operating wages was
attributable to higher management wage expense and health insurance costs. A
portion of the increase was due to increased training costs associated with more
new store openings than in the corresponding period last year. The remaining
increase was due mostly to the fact that wages were not as well leveraged due to
lower-than-expected same-store sales.
In the food products segment, the operating wages ratio decreased to 13.9%
of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 14.3% of sales in the
corresponding period a year ago. The decrease was due to better leverage of
costs as a result of the decreased promotional spending discussed in the "Sales"
section above.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Over 93% of other operating expenses ("operating expenses") occurred in
the restaurant segment in the first quarter of both fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004.
The most significant components of operating expenses were advertising,
utilities, restaurant supplies, repair and maintenance, taxes (other than
federal and state income taxes) and credit card processing fees. Consolidated
operating expenses were 15.4% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2005
compared to 14.7% of sales in the corresponding period last year.
In the restaurant segment, operating expenses increased to 17.2% of sales
in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 16.5% of sales in the
corresponding period a year ago. The increase was due mostly to
-14-
higher costs for repair and maintenance, utilities, advertising, and other costs
associated with new store openings.
In the food products segment, the operating expense ratio increased
slightly to 5.8% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from 5.5% of sales
in the corresponding period last year primarily due to freight costs and repair
and maintenance.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses ("S, G & A
expenses") were 8.4% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to
8.5% of sales in the corresponding period last year. The most significant
components of S, G & A expenses were wages, fringe benefits and food products
segment advertising expenses.
TAXES
The effective combined federal and state income tax rates were 35.9% in
fiscal 2005 versus 35.7% in fiscal 2004. The company anticipates the effective
tax rate for fiscal 2005 to remain at approximately 35.9%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash generated from both the restaurant and food products segments has
been used as the main source of funds for working capital and capital
expenditure requirements. Bank lines of credit are also used for liquidity
needs, capital expansion and repurchases of Bob Evans stock. Bank lines of
credit available total $70.0 million, of which $32.3 million was outstanding at
July 30, 2004.
The acquisition of SWH Corporation was financed through a committed credit
facility of approximately $183 million; the proceeds of which were used to
purchase all of the outstanding stock of SWH Corporation, repay existing
indebtedness of SWH Corporation and pay certain transaction expenses. The credit
facility was refinanced on July 28, 2004 through a private placement of $190
million in unsecured senior notes. Maturities range from 3 to 12 years, with a
weighted average interest rate of 4.9%.

Capital expenditures consist of purchases of land for future restaurant
sites, new restaurants under construction, purchases of new and replacement
furniture and equipment, and ongoing remodeling programs. Capital expenditures
were $26.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $36.4 million
in the corresponding period last year. The decrease was due primarily to more
land purchases for future restaurant sites in the first quarter of fiscal 2004
compared to fiscal 2005. In addition, many of the capital expenditures for the
restaurants opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 occurred in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2004. The company estimates that its capital expenditures for
the remainder of fiscal 2005 will approximate $132 million.
The company believes that the funds needed for capital expenditures and
working capital during the remainder of fiscal 2005 will be generated both
internally and from available bank lines of credit. However, the company is
currently considering increasing its available bank lines of credit. Financing
alternatives will continue to be evaluated by the company as warranted. Payments
of the company's contractual obligations under outstanding indebtedness as of
July 30, 2004 are as follows:

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM
ACT OF 1995
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not
statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). In
addition, certain statements in future filings by the company with the SEC, in
press releases and in oral and written statements made by or with the approval
of the company which are not statements of historical fact constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Examples of
forward-looking statements include statements of plans and objectives of the
company or its management or board of directors; statements regarding future
economic performance; and statements of assumptions underlying such
-16-
statements. Words such as "plan," "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and
"intends" and similar expressions are intended to, but are not the exclusive
means of, identifying those statements.
Forward-looking statements involve various important assumptions, risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted by the
forward-looking statements because of various factors and possible events,
including, without limitation:
- Changes in hog costs
- The possibility of severe weather conditions where the company
operates its restaurants
- The availability and cost of acceptable new restaurant sites
- Shortages of restaurant labor
- Acceptance of the company's restaurant concepts into new geographic
areas
- Accurately assessing the value, future growth potential, strengths,
weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential
profitability of Mimi's Cafe
- Unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions affecting
Mimi's Cafe
- Other risks disclosed from time to time in the company's securities
filings and press releases
There is also the risk that the company may incorrectly analyze these risks or
that the strategies developed by the company to address them will be
unsuccessful.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and
the company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect circumstances or events after the date on which the statement is made to
reflect unanticipated events. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to the company or any person acting on behalf of the
company are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section.
