PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") was 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.

On March 9, 1999, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to JOT Automation, Inc. (the "JOT Transaction"). As a result of the JOT Transaction, the Company's historical business, the depaneling and routing business, was considered to be a "discontinued operation" and, consequently, provides no benefit to persons seeking to understand the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Following the JOT Transaction the Company devoted its efforts to the development of a prototype micro-robotic device (the "micro-robotic device") to manipulate organic tissues on an extremely small scale. Due to the inability to complete the micro-robotic device, the Company determined that it would cease the development of the micro-robotic device and, as of June 30, 2000, the capitalized costs related to the patent underlying the micro-robotic device were written off by the Company.

On March 19, 2002, the Company was awarded United States Patent No. US 6,358,749 B1 for the "Automated System for Chromosome Microdissection and Method of Using Same" (the "Patent"). During the first quarter of 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the purposes of owning, developing and exploiting the Patent. On March 3, 2003, the Company filed Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to form Bio-Medical Automation, Inc., a Nevada corporation wholly-owned by the Company ("Bio-Medical" or the "Subsidiary"). In May 2003, the Company transferred the Patent to the Subsidiary in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Subsidiary. The Company never derived any revenues from the Patent.

As of December 31, 2014, Bio-Medical had 35,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized for issuance consisting of (1) 30,000,000 shares of common stock par value $.001 per share; and (2) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock par value $.01 per share. Bio-Medical has 1,140,773 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding, all of which are owned by the Company. Bio-Medical has no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. A copy of the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Bio-Medical are attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 as Exhibit 3.6 and Exhibit 3.7, respectively, and such documents are incorporated herein by reference.

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. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company has earned no revenues other than interest income.

Acquisition Strategy

The Company's 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. The Company has 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.

The Company anticipates 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 depressed economic conditions in a number of geographic areas, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes 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, providing liquidity for all shareholders 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, management's objective will be to obtain long-term capital appreciation for the Company's shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company 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 the Company will be able to obtain such additional funds, if needed. Even if the Company is 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.

Investment Strategy

On August 25, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to invest a portion of the Company's cash in marketable securities in an effort to realize a greater rate of return than the Company had been earning in light of historically low interest rates. The Board directed that management maintain at least $40,000 of the Company's cash in a federally insured bank or money market account.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company held no investments in marketable securities. While the Company will endeavor to invest in securities that have a potential for gain, there can be no assurances that the Company will not suffer losses based on its Investment Strategy.

Employees

As of April 7, 2015, the Company had 1 employee, Steven N. Bronson, who serves as the Company's President. The Company does not have any employees that are represented by a union or other collective bargaining group.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Potential investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision concerning the common stock of the Company. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

The Company Has Limited Resources

The Company has limited resources and has had no revenues from operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. On March 9, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and essentially ceased all operations. The Company will only earn revenues through the acquisition of or merger (an "Acquisition") with a target company (a "Target"). There can be no assurance that any Target, at the time of the Company's consummation of an Acquisition of the Target, or at any time thereafter, will derive any material revenues from its operations or operate on a profitable basis. The current revenues of the Company may not be sufficient to fund further Acquisitions. Based on the Company's limited resources, the Company may not be able to effectuate its business plan and consummate an Acquisition. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by the Company will permit the Company to achieve its business objectives.

The Company Will Need Additional Financing in Order to Execute Its Business Plan

The Company has had only nominal revenues to date and will be entirely dependent upon its limited available financial resources to implement its business plan to complete an Acquisition. The Company cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the capital requirements for the execution of its business plan. In the event that the Company's limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to implement its business plan, the Company will be required to seek additional financing. In addition, in the event of the consummation of an Acquisition, the Company may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the Target.

Additional Financing May Not Be Available to the Company

There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed, the Company would be limited in its attempts to complete Acquisitions. The inability of the Company to secure additional financing, if needed, could also have a material adverse effect on the continued existence of the Company. The Company has no arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and in the best interests of the Company.

The Company May Not Be Able to Borrow Funds

While there currently are no limitations on the Company's ability to borrow funds, the limited resources of the Company and limited operating history will make it difficult to borrow funds. The amount and nature of any borrowings by the Company will depend on numerous considerations, including the Company's capital requirements, the Company's perceived ability to meet debt service on any such borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt financing, if required or sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable by and in the best interests of the Company. The inability of the Company to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate an Acquisition may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, a Target may have already incurred borrowings and, therefore, the Company will be subjected to all the risks inherent thereto.

Competition for Acquisitions

The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having business objectives similar to those of the Company. Many of these entities, including venture capital partnerships and corporations, blind pool companies, large industrial and financial institutions, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals, are well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting Acquisitions directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to compete successfully. The Company's financial resources will be limited in comparison to those of many of its competitors. This inherent competitive limitation may compel the Company to select certain less attractive acquisition prospects. There can be no assurance that such prospects will permit the Company to achieve its stated business objectives.

The Company May Be Subject to Uncertainty in the Competitive Environment of a Target

In the event that the Company succeeds in effecting an Acquisition, the Company will, in all likelihood, become subject to intense competition from competitors of the Target. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly large number of competitors, including competitors with greater financial, marketing, technical, human and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective Target cannot presently be ascertained. There can be no assurance that, subsequent to a consummation of an Acquisition, the Company will have the resources to compete effectively in the industry of the Target, especially to the extent that the Target is in a high growth industry.

The Company May Pursue an Acquisition with a Target Operating Outside the United States: Special Additional Risks Relating to Doing Business in a Foreign Country

The Company may effectuate an Acquisition with a Target whose business operations or even headquarters, place of formation or primary place of business are located outside the United States. In such event, the Company may face the significant additional risks associated with doing business in that country. In addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and barriers that may make it difficult to evaluate such a Target, ongoing business risks may result from the internal political situation, uncertain legal systems and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt practices, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic instability that may be exacerbated in various foreign countries.

The Uncertain Structure of an Acquisition May Result in Risks Relating to the Market for the Company's Common Stock

The Company may form one or more subsidiary entities to effect an Acquisition and may under certain circumstances, distribute the securities of subsidiaries to the stockholders of the Company. There cannot be any assurance that a market would develop for the securities of any subsidiary distributed to stockholders or, if it did, any assurance as to the prices at which such securities might trade.

Taxation Considerations May Impact the Structure of an Acquisition and Post-merger Liabilities

Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations for the Company in consummating an Acquisition. The structure of an Acquisition or the distribution of securities to stockholders may result in taxation of the Company, the Target or stockholders. Typically, these transactions may be structured to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. The Company intends to structure any Acquisition so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the Target. Management cannot assure that an Acquisition will meet the statutory requirements for a tax-free reorganization, or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes, which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

Steven N. Bronson is Critical to the Future Success of the Company

Steven N. Bronson is the Chairman, C.E.O. and President of the Company. The ability of the Company to successfully carry out its business plan and to consummate additional Acquisitions will be dependent upon the efforts of Mr. Bronson and the Company's directors. Notwithstanding the significance of Mr. Bronson, the Company has not obtained any "key man" life insurance on his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Bronson could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to successfully achieve its business objectives. If additional personnel are required, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain such necessary additional personnel.

Mr. Bronson Has Effective Control of the Company's Affairs

As of April 7, 2015, Mr. Bronson beneficially owned and controlled 1,038,004 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 82.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 82.3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. In the election of directors, stockholders are not entitled to cumulate their votes for nominees. Accordingly, as a practical matter, Mr. Bronson may be able to elect all of the Company's directors and otherwise direct the affairs of the Company.

There Exist Conflicts of Interest Relating to Mr. Bronson's Commitment to the Company

Mr. Bronson is not required to commit his full time to the affairs of the Company. Mr. Bronson will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. Additionally, Mr. Bronson is also the president, director and principal shareholder of four publicly traded companies, Qualstar Corporation, Interlink Electronics, Inc., BKF Capital Group, Inc. and 4net Software, Inc. that are, among other things, also seeking to consummate mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions. As a result, the consummation of an Acquisition may require a greater period of time than if Mr. Bronson devoted his full time to the Company's affairs. However, Mr. Bronson will devote such time as he deems reasonably necessary to carry out the business and affairs of the Company, including the evaluation of potential Targets and the negotiation and consummation of Acquisitions and, as a result, the amount of time devoted to the business and affairs of the Company may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether the Company has identified a Target or is engaged in active negotiation and consummation of an Acquisition.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the Indemnification of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. It is possible that the indemnification obligations imposed under these provisions could result in a charge against the Company's earnings and thereby affect the availability of funds for other uses by the Company.

There Exist Risks to Stockholders Relating to Dilution: Authorization of Additional Securities and Reduction of Percentage Share Ownership Following Merger

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 30,000,000 shares of common stock. As of April 7, 2015, the Company had 1,260,773 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 28,739,227 authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for issuance. The Company has no commitments as of this date to issue its securities. However, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with or following an Acquisition. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, the Company's stockholders would experience dilution of their ownership interests in the Company. Additionally, if the Company issues a substantial number of shares of common stock in connection with or following an Acquisition, a change in control of the Company may occur which may affect, among other things, the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards, if any. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of common stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for the common stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities. The Company may use consultants and other third parties providing goods and services. These consultants or third parties may be paid in cash, stock, options or other securities of the Company. The Company may in the future need to raise additional funds by selling securities of the Company which may involve substantial additional dilution to the investors.

The Company is Authorized to Issue Preferred Stock

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizes the designation and issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), with such designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such series as the Board, subject to the laws of the State of Nevada, may determine from time to time. Accordingly, the Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. In addition, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. Although we do not currently intend to designate or issue any shares of Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future. It is likely however, that following a merger, new management may issue such preferred stock, and it is possible that one or more series of preferred stock will be designated and/or issued in order to effectuate a merger or financing. As of this date, we have no outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and we have not designated the rights or preferences of any series of preferred stock.

The Company May Be Deemed an Investment Company and Subjected to Related Restrictions

The regulatory scope of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), which was enacted principally for the purpose of regulating vehicles for pooled investments in securities, extends generally to companies engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities. The Investment Company Act may, however, also be deemed to be applicable to a company which does not intend to be characterized as an investment company but which, nevertheless, engages in activities which may be deemed to be within the definitional scope of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act. The Company believes that its Investment Strategy may subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If the Company is deemed to be an investment company, the Company may be forced to divest its investments or become subject to certain restrictions relating to the Company's activities, including restrictions on the nature of its investments and the issuance of securities. In addition, the Investment Company Act imposes certain requirements on companies deemed to be within its regulatory scope, including registration as an investment company, adoption of a specific form of corporate structure and compliance with certain burdensome reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, disclosure and other rules and regulations. In the event of the characterization of the Company as an investment company, the failure by the Company to satisfy such regulatory requirements, whether on a timely basis or at all, would, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Risks Associated with the Company's Investment Strategy

The Company's decision to invest a portion of its cash in marketable securities exposes the Company to potential losses. The Company's investments in marketable securities carry a risk of loss. While the Company will endeavor to invest in securities that have a potential for gain, there can be no assurances that the Company will not suffer losses based on its Investment Strategy.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2014.

PART II

(a) MARKET INFORMATION. The Company's common stock is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board and traded under the symbol "RDGA". The following table sets forth the range of high and low prices for the Company's common stock for the periods indicated. These prices represent reported transactions between dealers that do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions, and do not necessarily represent actual transactions.

As of April 7, 2015 the opening and closing price of the Company's common stock was $0.75 and $0.75, respectively.

(b) HOLDERS. As of April 7, 2015, the Company had approximately 643 shareholders of record of its common stock, $0.001 par value.

(c) DIVIDENDS. The Company has not declared cash dividends on its common stock since its inception, and the Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. There are no contractual restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act

The Company's shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales person's compensation.

The Company's common stock may be subject to the foregoing rules. The application of the penny stock rules may affect our stockholder's ability to sell their shares because some broker-dealers may not be willing to make a market in our common stock because of the burdens imposed upon them by the penny stock rules.

The following discussion provides information which the Company's management believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read together with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes to financial statements, which are included in this report.

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this report are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements when you see words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "may," "believe," and other similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. These and other risks are described elsewhere herein and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Acquisition Strategy

The Company's 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. The Company has 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.

The Company anticipates 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 depressed economic conditions in a number of geographic areas, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes 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, providing liquidity for all shareholders 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, management's objective will be to obtain long-term capital appreciation for the Company's shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company 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 the Company will be able to obtain such additional funds, if needed. Even if the Company is 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.

Competition for the Company's Acquisition Strategy

In connection with its Acquisition Strategy, the Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having business objectives similar to those of the Company. Many of these entities, including venture capital firms, blind pool companies, large industrial and financial institutions, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals, are well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting acquisitions directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to compete successfully with such entities. The Company's financial resources will be limited in comparison to those of many of its competitors. The Company's limited financial resources may compel the Company to select certain less attractive acquisition prospects.

Investment Strategy

On August 25, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to invest a portion of the Company's cash in marketable securities in an effort to realize a greater rate of return than the Company had been earning in light of historically low interest rates. The Board directed that management maintain at least $40,000 of the Company's cash in a federally insured bank or money market account.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company held no investments in marketable securities. While the Company will endeavor to invest in securities that have a potential for gain, there can be no assurances that the Company will not suffer losses based on its Investment Strategy.

Results of Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2014 ("Fiscal 2014"), the Company earned no revenues from operations and generated dividend and interest income of $2 compared to no revenues from operations and interest income in the amount of $7 for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("Fiscal 2013"). In addition, the Company had interest expense of $2,968 in 2014 and $332 in 2013, as a result of the loan from the President of the Company.

During Fiscal 2014, the Company incurred expenses of $30,275, a decrease of $2,756 compared to expenses of $33,031 for Fiscal 2013. The decrease was due primarily to professional fees.

For Fiscal 2014, the Company had a net operating loss of $33,243 compared to a net operating loss of $33,356 for Fiscal 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During Fiscal 2014, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from related party loans from the Company’s President and CEO. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had cash on hand of $827. While this sum will satisfy the Company's immediate financial needs, it may not be sufficient 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.

The Company's future financial condition will be subject to its ability to arrange for a merger, acquisition or a business combination with an operating business on favorable terms that will result in profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so or, if it is able to do so, that the transaction will be on favorable terms not resulting in an unreasonable amount of dilution to the Company's existing shareholders.

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 the Company will be able to obtain such additional funds, if needed. Even if the Company is 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.

The consolidated financial statements and related notes are included as part of this report as indexed in the appendix on pages F-1 through F-11.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure and controls and procedures

Based on his evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K the Company's principle executive officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures did operate in an effective manner as of December 31, 2014.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Internal control over financial reporting is defined, under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

The Company's principal executive officer has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, the Company's principal executive officer was guided by the releases issued by the SEC and to the extent applicable the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's principal executive officer has concluded that based on his assessment, as of December 31, 2014, the Company's procedures of internal control over financial reporting were effective.

Readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT INDEX

The following Exhibits are filed herewith:

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Ridgefield Acquisition Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014. Ridgefield Acquisition Corp.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our 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, as well as 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 financial position of Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no principle operations or significant revenue producing activities which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. (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 December 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $60,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.58 million. The Company has continued to sustain losses from operations. In addition, the Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception. 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.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. Deferred taxes relate to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting and will be either taxable or deductible when the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions.

INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per common share is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive convertible equity instruments consisting of options. There is no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted income per share for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. At December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The FASB published ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” on August 27, 2014. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of its ability to continue as a going concern, and to disclose any conditions or events that cause substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. 

NOTE 2 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY

The Company's president and principal executive officer has loaned the Company money to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The loans are repayable upon demand and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate principal loan balance amounted to $16,200 and such loans have accrued interest of $332 through December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate principal loan balance amounted to $44,200 and such loans have accrued interest of $2,968 through December 31, 2014.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company occupied a portion of the offices occupied by BKF Capital Group, Inc., on a month to month basis for a fee of $100 per month. Steven N. Bronson, the Company's Chairman, CEO, and majority shareholder, is also the Chairman, CEO and majority shareholder of BKF Capital Group, Inc. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company paid $1,200 per year to BKF Capital Group, Inc. for office space.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2014, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $897,000available to offset future taxable income. The Company’s remaining net operating loss carry-forward will expire between 2017 and 2032. Utilization of future net operating losses may be limited due to ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The valuation allowance at December 31, 2014 was $314,000, an increase of $12,000 from $302,000 at December 31, 2013. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31,2014.

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES (continued)

The effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

There was no Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to the Company's net losses. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 state income tax expense was zero.

The Company's tax expense differs from the "expected" tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, (computed by applying the Federal Corporate tax rate of 35% to income before taxes and 5.5% for Florida State Corporate taxes, the blended rate used was 38.67%), as follows:

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in general and administrative expenses.

The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
