RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

(A) 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.

(B) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

The financial information as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Plan of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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.

NOTE 2 – RETURN OF CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION

On May 4, 2011, the Company paid $756,464 as a return of capital distribution ($.60 a share) to its shareholders of record as of April 15, 2011. The Company recorded the return of capital distribution as a decrease in paid in capital.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements Disclosure

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including, most importantly, information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") and statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," or the negation thereof, or similar expressions, which constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E (the "Reform Act") of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and are susceptible to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks specifically enumerated in Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the Company's actual results, performance and achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company will not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. In addition, it is the Company's policy generally not to make any specific projections as to future earnings, and the Company does not endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be made by third parties.

The following discussion and analysis 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 financial statements and the notes to financial statements, which are included in this report, as well as the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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. The Company presently does not hold any securities of any publicly traded company.

At September 30, 2011 the Company did not hold any investment securities.

While the Company endeavors 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

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has not earned any revenues, except for interest income of $47. For the same period, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $5,697 and income tax expense of $4,084, resulting in a net loss equal to $9,734. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of costs associated with maintaining the Company's status as a public company including (without limitation) filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has not earned any revenues, except for interest income of $1,454. For the same period, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $48,577 and income tax expense of $17,028 resulting in a net loss from operations equal to $64,151. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of costs associated with maintaining the Company's status as a public company including (without limitation)filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from cash on hand. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand in the amount of $59,760.

The Company's long term 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.

Item 4. 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.

Evaluation of disclosure and controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, the Company's Principal Executive Officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are operating in an effective manner to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Company's most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Company's internal control over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that the Company's controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings.
