SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $ 122,914 1.64 The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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. 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 2016 and 2015, respectively. 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, 2016, and 2015, the Company had no cash equivalents. 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. In February 2015, amended GAAP guidance ASU 2015-02 was issued affecting current consolidation guidance. The guidance changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. This guidance must be applied using one of two retrospective application methods and will be effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company has adopted the newly issued guidance to our consolidated financial statements. |
