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, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $28,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.55 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 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
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, 2013, and 2012, 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
 
There are no new accounting standards that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
