NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”,
“our”, “Ridgefield” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado
on October 13, 1983. Effective June 23, 2006, the Company was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada through the
merger of the Company with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Since July 2000, the Company has suspended all operations,
except for necessary administrative matters.
The Company has no principal operations or revenue
producing activities. The Company is now pursuing an acquisition strategy whereby it is seeking to arrange for a merger, acquisition
or other business combination with a viable operating entity.
GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
At September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital
deficit and an accumulated deficit. The Company has continued to sustain losses from operations. In addition, the Company has not
generated positive cash flow from operations. Management is aware that its current cash resources are not adequate to fund its
operations for the following year. The Company cannot provide any assurances as to if and when it will be able to attain profitability.
These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue operations as a going concern.
No adjustment has been made in the consolidated financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities,
which could result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company will be dependent upon the raising of
additional capital through debt or the placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan or merge with an operating
company. The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation
of interim financial information, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December
31, 2018 consolidated financial statements that were filed in our annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2019.
NOTE 2 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Steven N. Bronson, the Company's Chairman, President,
CEO, and majority shareholder has loaned the Company money to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The loans are

“potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,”
“would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty
of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to, statements concerning our future financial and operating results; our business strategy of pursuing the acquisition
of an operating entity; future financing initiatives; our intentions, expectations and beliefs regarding a merger, acquisition
or other business combination with a viable operating entity; and our ability to comply with evolving legal standards and regulations,
particularly concerning requirements for being a public company and United States export regulations.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
of this Form 10-Q and are subject to uncertainties, assumptions and business and economic risks. As such, our actual results could
differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can
we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Form 10-Q may not occur, and actual results could
differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in our forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions
of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot
guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking
statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness
of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason
after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required
by law.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be
materially different from what we expect.
Overview
Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. (“we”,
“us”, “our”, “Ridgefield” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated as a Colorado
corporation on October 13, 1983 under the name Ozo Diversified, Inc. On June 23, 2006, the Company filed Articles of Merger with
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada that effected the merger between the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary formed
under the laws of the State of Nevada ("RAC-NV"), pursuant to the Articles of Merger, whereby RAC-NV was the surviving
corporation. The merger changed the domicile of the Company from the State of Colorado to the State of Nevada. Furthermore, as
a result of the Articles of Merger the Company is authorized to issue 35,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 30,000,000
shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share.
Since July 2000, the Company has suspended
all operations, except for necessary administrative matters relating to the timely filing of periodic reports as required by the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we earned no revenues.
Our principal executive office is located
at 3250 Retail Drive, Suite 120-518, Carson City, NV 89706-0686, and the telephone number is (805) 484-8855. Our website address
is www.ridgefieldacquisition.com. None of the information on our website is part of this Form 10-Q.
Acquisition Strategy
Our plan of operation is to arrange for
a merger, acquisition, business combination or other arrangement by and between the Company and a viable operating entity. We have
not identified a viable operating entity for a merger, acquisition, business
combination or other arrangement, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will ever successfully arrange for a merger, acquisition, business combination or other arrangement by and between
the Company and a viable operating entity.
We anticipate that the selection of a business
opportunity will be a complex process and will involve a number of risks, because potentially available business opportunities
may occur in many different industries and may be in various stages of development. Due in part to economic conditions in a number
of geographic areas, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe
that there are numerous firms seeking either the limited additional capital which the Company will have or the benefits of a publicly
traded corporation, or both. The perceived benefits of a publicly traded corporation may include facilitating or improving the
terms upon which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for principal shareholders, creating a means for
providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and other factors.
In some cases, management of the Company
will have the authority to effect acquisitions without submitting the proposal to the shareholders for their consideration. In
some instances, however, the proposed participation in a business opportunity may be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration,
either voluntarily by the Board of Directors to seek the shareholders' advice and consent, or because of a requirement of state
law to do so.
In seeking to arrange a merger, acquisition,
business combination or other arrangement by and between the Company and a viable operating entity, our objective will be to obtain
long-term capital appreciation for the Company's shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any merger,
acquisition, business combination or other arrangement by and between the Company and a viable operating entity.
The Company may need additional funds in
order to effectuate a merger, acquisition or other arrangement by and between the Company and a viable operating entity, although
there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional funds, if needed. Even if we are able to obtain additional
funds there is no assurance that the Company will be able to effectuate a merger, acquisition or other arrangement by and between
the Company and a viable operating entity.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting
policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations,
and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
of matters that are inherently uncertain. A description of our critical accounting policies and judgments used in the preparation
of our financial statements was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes
in these critical accounting policies since December 31, 2018.
Results of Operations
Revenues
During the nine months ended September 30,
2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company earned no revenues from operations. Overall, the Company incurred
a net loss of $12,100 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $13,899 during the three months ended September
30, 2018. The Company incurred a net loss of $43,858 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $46,254 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Because the Company’s operations are
primarily administrative, the slight decrease in net loss relates to savings from closely managing administrative expenses offset
almost entirely by additional interest expense.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended September
30, 2019, the Company incurred general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $7,007, a decrease of $2,281 compared to expenses
of $9,288 during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Similarly, the Company incurred G&A expenses of $27,653 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $31,755 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
G&A expenses consist of professional
fees, service charges, office expenses and similar items. The decrease relates to a rigorous approach in 2019 to managing and reducing
G&A expenses, primarily professional fees. The Company will continue to monitor escalating costs and limit G&A expenditures
whenever possible.
Other Expense and Net Interest
Other expenses decreased to just $200 during
the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $605 during the three months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred other expenses of $2,175 a decrease of $1,328 compared to expenses of $3,503
during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Other expenses primarily represent state licenses, filing fees, minimum tax expense
and similar non-operating costs. The year-over-year decrease generally relates to the timing of accruals and payments in prior
periods.
The Company incurred net interest expense
of $4,893 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $4,006 during the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily
as a result of a loan from the President of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred
net interest expenses of $14,030, compared to $10,996 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Interest expense increased
consistent with the increase in the underlying principal balance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for working capital and
expenditures have been funded from cash balances on hand and a loan from the President of the Company. As of September 30, 2019,
we had cash and cash equivalents of $789 and a working capital deficit of $259,305, which includes short-term indebtedness of $197,450
and related accrued interest of $59,183.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and money market funds. We did not have any short-term or long-term investments as of September 30, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30,
2019, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from related party loans from Steven N. Bronson, the Chairman, President,
CEO, and majority shareholder. The note agreement is a Revolving Promissory Note (the “Note”) under which the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all outstanding advances shall not exceed $250,000. Borrowings under the Note (plus any accrued interest)
bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company borrowed the following
amounts under the Note:

While this arrangement will satisfy the
Company's immediate financial needs, it may not by itself have the capacity to provide the Company with sufficient capital to finance
a merger, acquisition or business combination between the Company and a viable operating entity. The Company may need additional
funds in order to complete a merger, acquisition or business combination between the Company and a viable operating entity. There
can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds if and when needed.
Off-Balance Sheet and Contractual Arrangements
We do not have any
off-balance sheet or contractual arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
