(a) Previous independent registered public accounting firm. On January 22, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Haskell & White LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Haskell & White LLP completed the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2008 on January 28, 2009 completely terminating Haskell & White LLP's appointment as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. The decision to change principal accountants was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company. The reports of Haskell & White LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Bridgford Foods Corporation for the years ended October 31, 2008 and November 2, 2007, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. During the years ended October 31, 2008 and November 2, 2007, and through the subsequent interim period ended January 28, 2009, there were no disagreements with Haskell & White LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Haskell & White LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the years ended October 31, 2008, and November 2, 2007, and through the subsequent interim period ended January 28, 2009, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). A letter from Haskell & White LLP addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended October 31, 2008 and November 2, 2007, and through the subsequent interim period ended January 28, 2009, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson, LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
