ITEM 1. BUSINESS
A. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Whiteford Partners, L.P. (the ``Partnership'') was formed on June 30, 1987, as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership consists of a General Partner, Gannon Group, Inc., and Limited Partners. The offering period of the Partnership terminated on November 10, 1989, with $13,557,550 of Limited Partner gross subscriptions received in the form of Class A Units. Pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus, offering proceeds in the amount of $140,365 were returned to certain Ohio residents when the Partnership's business acquisition program was not substantially completed by December 1989. The Partnership was organized principally to form, acquire, own and operate businesses engaged in the development, production, processing, marketing, distribution and sale of food and related products (the ``Food Businesses'').
In the first quarter of 1990, the Partnership entered into a limited partnership, Whiteford Foods Venture, L.P. ("Whiteford's") which was formerly named Granada/Whiteford Foods Venture, L.P., with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the former General Partner, G/W Foods, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring the assets, certain liabilities and the operations of Whiteford's Inc., a further processor and distributor of beef products to major fast food restaurants and regional chains, which was located in Versailles, Ohio. The acquisition, which was made with Partnership funds, was closed March 26, 1990, with the Partnership's resultant equity interest in Whiteford's being in excess of 99%. On April 23, 1990, all outstanding and contingent items were resolved and completed, and the acquisition of the assets was funded on April 24, 1990.
On May 4, 1992, the outstanding shares of G/W Foods, Inc. were assigned by the former General Partner to Gannon Group, Inc., a corporation owned by Kevin T. Gannon, a Director and Vice President of G/W Foods, Inc. At that time, Mr. Gannon was also a former Vice President of Granada Corporation and certain of its affiliates. Also on May 4, 1992, Granada Management Corporation assigned its sole general partnership interest in the Partnership to Gannon Group, Inc. The effect of these assignments is for Gannon Group, Inc. to have general partnership authority and responsibility with respect to the Partnership and, through G/W Foods, Inc., of Whiteford's.
Subject to the availability of capital resources and/or financing, the Partnership Agreement permits the acquisition of additional Food Businesses that produce, process or distribute specialty food products including businesses that possess technology or special processes which could increase the productivity or processing capability of the Partnership's current Food Business or which enhance the marketability or resale value of the Partnership's Food Business products. At the present time, no acquisitions are contemplated.
The Partnership sold (the "Sale Transaction") substantially all its assets on November 11, 2001, to an affiliate of Rochester Meat Company ("Rochester Meat"), an unaffiliated company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). The purchase price was $7,950,000, including the assumption or payment of certain liabilities. The purchase price was paid $1,500,000 in cash and the issuance of a subordinated note (the "Subordinated Note") due June 30, 2007 in the principal amount of $1,350,000 (as adjusted) with the balance of the purchase price paid by the assumption of certain liabilities net of other assets. The Subordinated Note bears interest at 9.5% and is prepayable under certain conditions. Additionally, the principal balance of the Subordinated Note may be adjusted downward under certain circumstances.
In connection with the transaction with Rochester Meat, the Partnership was obligated to pay up to $500,000 to Greenaway Consultants, Inc. pursuant to a consulting agreement. Greenaway Consultants, Inc. acquired the right to such payment in connection with its provision of management services and financing to the Partnership. The Partnership and Greenaway Consultants, Inc. agreed to: (i) defer $50,000 of such payment until January 2002, (ii) subordinate $300,000 of such payment to the distribution by the Partnership of $2.00 per limited partner unit (an aggregate of $2,613,780) and (iii) forgive $150,000 of such payment. Greenaway Consultants, Inc. is wholly owned by Albert Greenaway. Neither Mr. Greenaway nor Greenaway Consultants, Inc. owns any interest in the general partner of the Partnership. The $50,000 payment was made in January 2002 and the $300,000 payment to Greenaway Consultants will be accrued after the $2,613,780 of distributions or net asset value is accumulated on the balance sheet of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2004, $183,903 has been accrued for the subordinated consultant's fee payable to Greenaway Consultants, Inc.
Upon completion of the transaction, the Partnership's assets included the net cash proceeds and the Subordinated Note, subject to the then remaining obligations to Greenaway Consultants, Inc. and the General Partner, other closing costs and potential liabilities, if any, associated with litigation with Ameriserve, Inc., a former customer and a major national distributor of food and related products, which filed for protection under bankruptcy proceedings in January, 2000. As a debtor in bankruptcy, Ameriserve claimed that all payments made to creditors during the ninety days prior to the bankruptcy are preference items that Ameriserve may recover from its creditors. As a result, Ameriserve instituted a lawsuit against the Partnership and other suppliers to recover its estimate of the preference amounts. The amount sought by Ameriserve in the lawsuit approximated $800,000. The Partnership filed a response to
their motion and entered into a settlement agreement with Ameriserve in January 2002. Such settlement agreement provided for a payment by the Partnership of $40,000, which was paid in January 2002 to settle such claim. In December 2001, following the Sale Transaction, Ameriserve notified the Partnership that Ameriserve discovered what it believed were overpayments to the Partnership for prior purchases in the approximate amount of $189,000. Ameriserve notified the Partnership that if payment of the alleged overpayment was not received, Ameriserve would file a lawsuit to reflect the amount allegedly owed. The Partnership investigated the alleged overpayments and the potential liability, if any, for alleged overpayments. During the third quarter of 2002, the Partnership entered into a settlement agreement with Ameriserve regarding the alleged overpayment. The settlement agreement provided for the payment to Ameriserve of $70,000. Such payment was paid during the third quarter of 2002.
B. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Prior to the Sale Transaction, the Partnership operated principally in the food processing and distribution business. The Partnership is presently holding and managing the proceeds of sale and related assets.
C. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Partnership was organized to form, acquire, own and operate businesses engaged in the development, production, processing, marketing, distribution and sale of food and related products. Prior to the Sale Transaction, the Partnership operated a further processing and meat production operation at one location--Versailles, Ohio.
Versailles, Ohio Plant Operation
Prior to the Sale Transaction, Whiteford's was a further processor and distributor of meat products to major fast food restaurants and regional chains and food distributors. The Partnership served major metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Louis. Whiteford's principal products were fresh frozen hamburger patties; precooked and uncooked ground beef, taco meat and roast beef; marinated beef entrees; and other items processed to customers' specifications. Prior to the Sale Transaction, Whiteford's purchased products principally from major domestic packers and regional distributors.
Whitefords had no sales of meat products in 2002, 2003 or 2004.
Marketing and Sales
Whitefords has no sales of meat products in 2002, 2003 or 2004. Prior to the Sale Transaction, Whiteford's customers consisted primarily of fast food retail chains in addition to HRI (Hotel, Restaurant, Institutional) customers and food products distributors. Sales operations were conducted locally by sales representatives from the Versailles location and through unaffiliated food products distributors and food brokers. Prior to the Sale Transaction, all of Whiteford's sales are to customers in the United States and Canada.
Regulatory Matters
Prior to the Sale Transaction in 2001, all of Whiteford's meat production operations were subject to ongoing inspection and regulation by the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA"). Whiteford's plant and facilities were subject to periodic or continuous inspection, without advance notice, by USDA employees to ensure compliance with USDA standards of sanitation, product composition, packaging and labeling. All producers of meat and other food products must comply with substantially similar standards.
Prior to the Sale Transaction in 2001, Whiteford's was subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection, compliance with which has required capital and operating expenditures. The General Partner believes Whiteford's was in substantial compliance with such laws and regulations prior to the Sale Transaction. The General Partner is not aware of any violations of, or pending changes in such laws and regulations that are likely to result in material penalties.
Prior to the Sale Transaction in 2001, Whiteford Foods was subject to various other federal, state and local regulations, none of which imposed material restrictions on its operations.
Employees
The Partnership's operations have been managed by its general partner, Gannon Group, Inc. since May 4, 1992, and Granada Management Corporation from inception to May 4, 1992. Directly, the Partnership has no employees. The Partnership has utilized the services of employees of the General Partner as needed for certain administrative services.
The Whiteford's operation at Versailles, Ohio employed 175 personnel at November 11, 2001, the date of the Sale Transaction and no employees as of December 31, 2003 or December 31, 2004. The General Partner believes there will be sufficient personnel available to adequately manage the Partnership's business affairs.

ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Ameriserve, Inc., a former customer and a major national distributor of food and related products, filed for protection under bankruptcy proceedings in January 2000. As a debtor in bankruptcy, Ameriserve has claimed that all payments made to creditors during the ninety days prior to the bankruptcy are preference items which Ameriserve may recover from its creditors. As a result, Ameriserve instituted a lawsuit against the Partnership and other suppliers to recover its estimate of the preference amounts.
The amount sought by Ameriserve in the lawsuit approximated $800,000. The Partnership filed a response to their action. In January 2002, the Partnership entered into a settlement agreement with Ameriserve that required a payment of $40,000 by the Partnership. A payment of $40,000 was made in January 2002 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The Partnership recorded a liability of $40,000 in connection with the Ameriserve action. The Partnership, prior to the Settlement Agreement, had agreed to escrow proceeds from the sale of its assets to defend or satisfy the Ameriserve potential claims until such claims were settled or otherwise compromised.
In December 2001, following the Sale Transaction, Ameriserve notified the Partnership that Ameriserve discovered what it believed were overpayments to the Partnership for prior purchases in the approximate amount of $189,000. Ameriserve subsequently notified the Partnership that if payment of the alleged overpayment were not received, Ameriserve would file a lawsuit to collect the amount allegedly owing. The Partnership investigated the alleged overpayments and the potential liability, if any, for such alleged overpayments. During the third quarter of 2002, the Partnership entered into a settlement agreement with Ameriserve and paid $70,000.
There are no other material pending or threatened legal proceedings involving the Partnership, known to either the Partnership or the General Partner.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Current Year Remuneration
The Partnership has no officers or directors. Accordingly, no direct remuneration was paid to officers and directors of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2004 or 2003. Remuneration to the General Partner is pursuant to Article VI of the LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (filed as Exhibit A to the Prospectus included in the Partnership's Registration Statement on Form S-1 [File No. 2-98273]) and incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to Section 6.4(c) of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is entitled to receive a management fee of approximately $300,000 for the calendar year 2004. However, Section 6.4(c)(v) limits all amounts payable to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.4(c) to an amount which does not exceed 10% of aggregate distributions to Partners from "Cash Available for Distributions". Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Cash Available for Distributions is comprised of cash funds from operations (after all expenses, debt repayments, capital improvements and replacements, but before depreciation) less amounts set aside for restoration or reserves. That portion of the management fee in excess of such 10% limitation is suspended, and future payment is delayed until such payment may be made without exceeding such limit. On dissolution of the Partnership, Section 15.3(a)(ii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement generally provides for the payment of creditors, and then pro rata payment to record holders for loans or other amounts owed to them by the Partnership, including without limitation any amounts owed to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.4. Any amounts payable to the General Partner under Section 15.3(a)(ii) will be dependent upon the funds available for distribution on the dissolution of the Partnership.
Section 6.4(e) of the Limited Partnership Agreement also provides the General Partner a subordinated special allocation equal to 15% of any gain on the sale of partnership assets or food businesses. Among other things, this special allocation is subordinated to payments to the limited partners for certain distributions. Any payment pursuant to Section 6.4(e) will be dependent upon the ultimate sale price of the Partnership's assets.
During calendar year 2002, the Partnership made one distribution to the Limited Partners ($980,167.50, or $0.75 per unit). As a result, in 2002, the Partnership suspended payment to the General Partner of $300,000 of such management fee. The cumulative amount of annual management fees that have been suspended is $3,617,000.
Other Compensation Arrangements
There is no plan provided for or contributed to by the Partnership or the General Partner that provides annuity, pension or retirement benefits for the General Partner or the officers and directors of the General Partner. There is no existing plan provided for or contributed to by the General Partner that provides annuity, pension or benefits for its officers or directors.

No options to purchase any securities of the General Partner were granted or exercised during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003. No options were held to purchase securities of the Partnership as of December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003, and as of the date hereof.

WHITEFORD PARTNERS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE A - ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND ACQUISITIONS
Whiteford Partners, L.P., (the "Partnership"), formerly Granada Foods, L.P., was formed on June 30, 1987, as a Delaware limited partnership. Prior to May 4, 1992, the Partnership consisted of a General Partner, Granada Management Corporation, ("Granada"), and the Limited Partners. On May 4, 1992, Granada assigned its sole general partner interest in the Partnership to Gannon Group, Inc. and the Partnership was renamed Whiteford Partners, L.P.
The operational objectives of the Partnership are to own and operate businesses engaged in the development, production, processing, marketing, distribution and sale of food and related products ("Food Businesses") for the purpose of providing quarterly cash distributions to the partners while providing capital appreciation through the potential appreciation of the Partnership's Food Businesses. The Partnership expects to operate for twenty years from inception, or for such shorter period as the General Partner may determine is in the best interest of the Partnership, or for such shorter period as determined by the majority of the Limited Partners.
The Partnership Agreement provides that a maximum of 7,500,000 Class A, $10 partnership units can be issued to Limited Partners. Generally, Class A units have a preference as to cumulative quarterly cash distributions of $.25 per unit. The sharing of income and loss from the Partnership operations is 99% to the Class A and 1% to the General Partner. Amounts and frequency of distributions are determinable by the General Partner.
On March 26, 1990, the Partnership, through Whiteford Foods Venture, ("Whiteford's L.P.") (formerly Granada/Whiteford Foods Venture, L.P.), a joint venture with an affiliate of the then General Partner, acquired the business assets of Whiteford's Inc., a meat processing and distribution company. The Partnership and Whiteford's have operated in the food business segment only. The cash purchase price of the assets was $8,275,000 with liabilities of $3,776,806 assumed. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets acquired of approximately $3,825,000 was recorded as goodwill. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the financial statements include the operations of Whiteford's from the date of acquisition.
At December 31, 2004, and at December 31, 2003, the Partnership had 1,306,890 Class A limited partnership units issued and outstanding.
On November 11, 2001, the Partnership sold (the "Sale Transaction") substantially all its assets to an affiliate of Rochester Meat Company ("Rochester Meat"), an unaffiliated company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). The purchase price was $7,950,000, including the assumption or payment of certain liabilities. The purchase price was paid $1,500,000 in cash and the issuance of a subordinated note (the "Subordinated Note") due June 30, 2007 in the principal amount of $1,350,000 (As Adjusted), with the balance of the purchase price paid by the assumption of certain liabilities net of other assets. The Subordinated Note bears interest at 9.5% and is prepayable under certain conditions. Additionally, the principal balance of the Subordinated Note may be adjusted downward under certain circumstances.
In connection with the transaction with Rochester Meat, the Partnership was obligated to pay up to $500,000 to Greenaway Consultants, Inc. pursuant to a consulting agreement. Greenaway Consultants, Inc. acquired the right to such payment in connection with its provision of management services and financing to the Partnership. The Partnership and Greenaway Consultants, Inc. agreed to: (i) defer $50,000 of such payment until January 2002 (which was paid in January 2002), (ii) subordinate $300,000 of such payment to the distribution by the Partnership of $2.00 per limited partner unit (an aggregate of $2,613,780) and (iii) forgive $150,000 of such payment. Greenaway Consultants, Inc. is wholly owned by Albert Greenaway. Neither Mr. Greenaway nor Greenaway Consultants, Inc. owns any interest in the general partner of the Partnership. The $50,000 payment was made in January 2002 and the $300,000 subordinated payment to Greenaway Consultants is being accrued after distributions and limited partner net asset values exceed $2.00 per unit.
Upon completion of the transaction, the Partnership's assets included the net cash proceeds and the Subordinated Note, subject to the then remaining obligations to Greenaway Consultants, Inc., and the General Partner, other closing costs and liabilities associated with pending litigation with Ameriserve, Inc., a former customer and a major national distributor of food and related products, which filed for protection under bankruptcy proceedings in January, 2000. As a debtor in bankruptcy, Ameriserve claimed that all payments made to creditors during the ninety days prior to the bankruptcy are preference items which Ameriserve may recover from its creditors. As a result, Ameriserve instituted a lawsuit against the Partnership and other suppliers to recover its estimate of the preference amounts. The amount sought by Ameriserve in the lawsuit approximated $800,000. The Partnership filed a response to their motion and entered into a settlement agreement with Ameriserve in January 2002. Such settlement agreement provided for a payment by the Partnership of $40,000, which was paid in January 2002 to settle such claim. . In December 2001, following the Sale Transaction, Ameriserve notified the Partnership that Ameriserve discovered what it believed were overpayments to the Partnership for prior purchases in the approximate amount of $189,000. Ameriserve notified the Partnership that if payment of the alleged overpayment was not received, Ameriserve would file a lawsuit to reflect the amount allegedly owed. The Partnership investigated the alleged overpayments and the potential liability, if any, for alleged overpayments. During the third quarter of 2002, the Partnership entered into a settlement agreement with Ameriserve regarding the alleged overpayment. The settlement agreement provided for the payment to Ameriserve of $70,000. Such payment was paid during the third quarter of 2002.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the Partnership and Whiteford's, from the date of acquisition (March 26, 1990). Significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Property and Equipment. The Partnership owned no property or equipment during 2004, 2003 or 2002.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generally recognized as interest is accrued.
Distributions. The Partnership records distributions of income and/or return of capital to the General Partner and Limited Partners when paid. Special transfers of equity, as determined by the General Partner, from the General Partner to the Limited Partners are recorded in the period of determination. Distributions of $0, $0 and $980,168 to Limited Partners were recorded in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Income Taxes. The Partnership files an information tax return. The items of income and expense are allocated to the partners pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Income taxes applicable to the Partnership's results of operations are the responsibility of the individual partners and have not been provided for in the accounts of the Partnership.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows. Cash and cash equivalent amounts approximate fair value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Total interest paid was $0, $0, and $0, for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Net (Loss) Income Per Unit of Limited Partners Capital. The net (loss) income per unit of limited partners capital is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income allocated to limited partners by the weighted average units outstanding.
Concentrations. Financial instruments which potentially expose the Partnership of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial with Concentrations of Credit Risk, consist primarily of a subordinated note receivable from the buyer of the Partnership's assets. The Partnership's subordinated note receivable is concentrated in the food processing business.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those results.
Fair Value. The fair value of the subordinated note receivable as determined by similar instruments in the marketplace is estimated at $1,350,000.
NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Limited Partnership Agreement provides for the General Partner to receive an annual administrative fee. The fee is equal to 2% (adjusted for changes in the consumer price index after 1989) of net business investment (defined as $8.50 multiplied by Partnership units outstanding). However, such amounts payable to the General Partner are limited to 10% of aggregate distributions to all Partners from "Cash Available for Distributions". As defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, that portion of the management fee in excess of such 10% limitation is suspended, and future payment is contingent.
The Administrative Management Fees paid to the General Partner and recorded by the Partnership were $0 in 2004, $0 in 2003 and $0 in 2002. Suspended fees as of December 31, 2004, for which no accrual had been recorded, total $3,617,000 ($3,317,000 as of December 31, 2003). This only becomes an obligation of the Partnership upon a change of control or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership. The Partnership also has a service agreement with Greenaway Consultant, Inc. ("GCI"), which provides for the former principal owner of Whiteford's to provide consulting services to the Partnership. The agreement was extended for five years expiring December 31, 2001, and provides minimum consulting fees of approximately $250,000 per annum. During 2000, 1999 and 1998 the minimum was paid. GCI was due a payment of $500,000 upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership. However, GCI and the Partnership modified such agreement at the time of the Sale Transaction to provide for a payment of $50,000 in January 2002 and the payment of up to $300,000, subordinated to total distributions of $2 per unit to limited partner investors. The remaining balance due under such agreement ($150,000) was forgiven. The $300,000 amount has commenced accruing in 2003 as a result of its subordination to the partnership.
NOTE D - LONG TERM DEBT
The Partnership had no long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2004, 2003 or 2002.
No interest was paid in 2004 or 2003 or 2002.
NOTE E - LEASES
Lease Commitments. The Partnership has no lease commitments.
NOTE F - MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Prior to the Sale Transaction, Whiteford's facility, located in Versailles, Ohio, operated as a further processor and distributor of beef products to fast food restaurants and regional chains and food distribution in the Midwest of the United States. Whiteford's principal products were fresh frozen hamburger patties; precooked and uncooked ground beef taco meat and roast beef, marinated beef entrees; and other items processed to the customers' specifications. No sales of meat products were made by the partnership in 2004, 2003 or 2002.
NOTE I - QUARTERLY DATA (UNAUDITED)
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Limited and General Partners Whiteford Partners, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Whiteford Partners, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. An audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Whiteford Partners, L.P. and subsidiary at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
