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 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, 2021 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 2 – 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.
In April 2021, we paid BKF the full amount owed of $2,800 for this previous arrangement. There are no amounts payable to or receivable from BKF at March 31, 2022.
On December 31, 2016, Steven N. Bronson, the Company's Chairman, President, CEO, and majority shareholder entered into a revolving loan agreement (the "2016 Loan") whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2016 Loan was unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrued interest at the 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 2016 Loan and paying $50,558 in cash.
On March 23, 2022, Mr. Bronson entered into a new revolving loan agreement (the "2022 Loan") whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2022 Loan is unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 the following amounts were payable under all loans:

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, 2022 and 2021 we earned no revenues. 7
Table of Contents 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, 2021. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021. 8
Table of Contents Results of Operations
Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company earned no revenues from operations. Overall, the Company incurred a net loss of $14,818 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $26,904 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Because the Company’s operations are primarily administrative, the reduction in net loss relates to reduced interest expense and a reduction in general and administrative (G&A) expenses during the quarter.
General and Administrative Expenses
G&A expenses consist of professional fees, service charges, office expenses and similar items.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred G&A expenses of $13,878, a decrease of $5,744 compared to G&A expenses of $19,622 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease is largely attributable to a reduction in professional fees related to compliance and expenses of maintaining our status as a public company. During 2021 we saw an increase in compliance costs related to filing SEC reports, as well as other related costs such as legal and audit fees. The reduction in 2022 is largely due to timing of services provided and is not a trend that we anticipate will continue. We expect to incur a similar amount of G&A expenses in 2022 as we did in 2021.
Other Expense
Other expense primarily represents state licenses, filing fees, minimum tax expense and net interest expense.
Other expense decreased to $940 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $7,282 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease relates primarily to interest expense. The Company incurred net interest expense of $5,657 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and only $40 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a loan from the President of the Company. The 2016 Loan was cancelled on March 26, 2021 and the 2022 Loan was not initiated until March 23, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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, 2022. Cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures have been funded from cash balances on hand. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21,888 and working capital of $7,100, excluding the related party debt. With the related party debt, we had a working capital deficit of ($12,940).
Historically, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from related party loans from Steven N. Bronson, the Chairman, President, CEO, and majority shareholder. On December 31, 2016, Mr. Bronson entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “2016 Loan”) whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2016 Loan was unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrued interest at the 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 2016 Loan and paying $50,558 in cash.
On March 23, 2022, Mr. Bronson entered into a new revolving loan agreement (the “2022 Loan”) whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2022 Loan is unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum. 9

While the cash received from the 2022 Loan 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 late 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (COVID) first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, which has since spread globally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic. Further, the COVID outbreak has resulted in government authorities around the world implementing numerous measures to try to reduce the spread of COVID, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, “shelter-in-place,” “stay-at-home,” total lock-down orders, business limitations or shutdowns and similar orders. As a result, the COVID pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets.
More recently, more contagious variants of COVID, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, have emerged and spread globally, which has caused some governments to reimplement various measures, or impose new restrictions, in an effort to lessen the spread of COVID and its variants. While we do not expect COVID to impact our operations, 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 remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
Off-Balance Sheet and Contractual Arrangements
Our liquidity is not dependent on the use of off-balance-sheet financing arrangements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not designed to be effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE
Carson City, Nevada
$200,000.00
March 23, 2022
This Revolving Promissory Note (this 'NOTE') is made and delivered as of March 23, 2022 between Borrower and Lender (as such terms are defined below)
1. OBLIGATION. The undersigned, Ridgefield Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation ('BORROWER') hereby promises to pay to the order of Steven N. Bronson, an individual residing in California, ('LENDER' OR 'HOLDER') on or before March 23, 2027, at such place as Holder may direct, the principal sum of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, together with all interest accrued on unpaid principal, to be computed on each advance of a Loan from the date of its disbursement to Borrower, at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year), compounded quarterly. As used herein, the term 'HOLDER' shall initially mean Lender, and shall subsequently mean each person or entity to whom this Note is duly assigned.
The outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total principal amounts advanced hereunder by Holder less the amounts of payments of principal made hereon by Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by Holder in accordance with Section 2. Payments of interest on this Note shall be payable on a quarterly basis, on the last business day of each calendar quarter.
2. RECORDING OF LOANS AND PAYMENTS. Holder is authorized to record on Schedule A hereto, and on any continuation(s) of such Schedule that may be attached to this Note: (a) the date and principal amount of each Loan advanced by Lender; and (b) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal and/or accrued interest of any Loan; which recordation will constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so endorsed on Schedule A; provided however, that any failure to record such information on such Schedule or continuation thereof will not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to make payments of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Note. Holder will promptly provide Borrower with a copy of each recordation made by Holder on Schedule A attached hereto.
3. PREPAYMENT. Prepayment of unpaid principal and/or interest due under this Note may be made at any time without penalty. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Holder, all payments will be made in lawful tender of the United States and will be applied (a) first, to the payment of accrued interest, and (b) second, (to the extent that the amount of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest), to the payment of principal.
4. DEFAULT; ACCELERATION OF OBLIGATION. Borrower will be deemed to be in default under this Note and the outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon, will immediately become due and payable in full, without the need for any further action on the part of Holder, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.
5. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon any Event of Default, Holder will have, in addition to its rights and remedies under this Note, full recourse against any real, personal, tangible or intangible assets of Borrower, and may pursue any legal or equitable remedies that are available to Holder, and may declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest under this Note to be immediately due and payable in full.
6. WAIVER AND AMENDMENT. Any provision of this Note may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both Borrower and Holder. Except as provided below with respect to waivers by Borrower, no waiver or consent with respect to this Note will be binding or effective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. No course of dealing between Borrower and Holder will operate as a waiver or modification of any party's rights or obligations under this Note. No delay or failure on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver given on one occasion will not be construed as a bar to, or as a waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion.
7. WAIVERS OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby waives presentment, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand and diligence. This Note may be amended only by a writing executed by Borrower and Holder.
8. GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements between residents thereof to be performed entirely within such State, without reference to that body of law relating to conflict of laws or choice of law.
9. SEVERABILITY; HEADINGS. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Note will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision hereof. The headings in this Note are for convenience of reference only and will not alter or otherwise affect the meaning of this Note.
10. JURISDICTION; VENUE. Borrower, by its execution of this Note, hereby irrevocably submits to the in persona jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of Nevada and of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Note.
11. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If suit is brought for collection of this Note, Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Holder in connection therewith whether or not such suit is prosecuted to judgment.
12. ASSIGNMENT. This Note is not assignable by Holder without the written consent of Borrower. This Note may not be assigned or delegated by Borrower, whether by voluntary assignment or transfer, operation of law, merger or otherwise.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note as of the date and year first above written.
