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 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
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 may
not be 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, in the past, 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, 2020 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 three-month period ended
March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
The Company previously occupied a portion of the offices
leased by BKF Capital Group, Inc. (OTCMKTS: BKFG), on a month to month basis for a rental fee of $50 per month that was intended to cover
administrative costs. Steven N. Bronson, the Company's Chairman, CEO, and majority shareholder, is also the Chairman, CEO and majority
shareholder of BKF Capital Group, Inc. Effective June 30, 2019, the Company terminated this arrangement with BKF Capital Group, Inc.,
and leased an administrative office from an unrelated party on a month-to-month basis for a minimum of $10 per month. Additional charges,
if any, are based upon services provided by the lessor.
At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we owed BKF
$2,800 for this previous arrangement. There were no payments made to BKF during the three months ended March 31, 2021, however the Company
paid the full balance due to BKF on April 19, 2021, subsequent to the date of these financial statements.
Steven N. Bronson, the Company's Chairman, President, CEO,
and majority shareholder has previously loaned the Company money to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The loan was
repayable upon demand and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The loan was not secured.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “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
three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 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 undertake 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, 2020. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.
Results of Operations
Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company earned no revenues from operations. Overall, the Company incurred a net loss of $26,904
during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $25,535 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Because the Company’s
operations are primarily administrative, the increase in net loss relates almost entirely to additional interest expense and additional
general and administrative (G&A) expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the
Company incurred G&A expenses of $19,622, an increase of $792 compared to G&A expenses of $18,830 during the three months ended
March 31, 2020. G&A expenses consist of professional fees, service charges, office expenses and similar items. The increase is largely
attributable to increased costs related to compliance and expenses of being a public company. Most of our professional fees, including
those incurred for public company compliance, are incurred in the first quarter, thus later quarters in 2021 are expected to show less
G&A expenses when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased to $7,282 during the three
months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $6,705 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Other expenses primarily represent state
licenses, filing fees, minimum tax expense and net interest expense. The Company incurred net interest expense of $5,657 during the three
months ended March 31, 20201 and $5,280 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as a result of a loan from the President of the
Company. The increase in interest expense is consistent with the increase in the underlying principal balance. This loan was cancelled
on March 26, 2021 and the Company does not expect to incur significant interest expense during the remainder of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for working capital and capital
expenditures have been funded from cash balances on hand and cash generated from operations. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $40,198 and working capital of $33,507.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money
market funds. We did not have any short-term or long-term investments as of March 31, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 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 was a Revolving Promissory Note (the “Note”) under which the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all outstanding advances shall not exceed $250,000. As of November 1, 2020, the Company and Mr. Bronson amended and restated the Note
to allow for borrowings over the $250,000 limit. The maximum credit amount was increased to $500,000. Borrowings under the Note (plus
any accrued interest) incurred interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
On March 26, 2021, the Company sold 1,600,000 shares
of its Common Stock to Mr. Bronson at a price of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000. Mr. Bronson paid the purchase
price for the shares by cancelling $349,442 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Note and paying $50,558 in cash.

While the cash received from the issuance of Common
Stock will satisfy the Company's immediate financial needs, it will 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.
Economy and Inflation
We do not believe that inflation
has had a material effect on our Company’s results of operations.
In December 2019, a novel
strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China
and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.
COVID-19 was declared a “pandemic” in March 2020 by the World Health Organization. Although we have not experienced a significant
impact to our operations from COVID-19, it could impact our acquisition strategy, positively or negatively. The extent to which
new opportunities are presented to us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
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.
