Bridgford reported a net loss of $263,000 for the first quarter of its 2008 fiscal year, compared to a net income of US$40,000 in the same period last year.


The company said “extraordinarily high commodity and fuel costs” had depressed operating margins. An increase in prices is planned to offset some of these expenses.


Sales for the three months to 25 January fell 3.1% to US$31.3m.


In January, falling annual sales saw the Californian-based company pushed into the red for the year to 2 November.
