PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. ("RAC" or the "Company") was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on October 13, 1983. 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, is 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 have been written off by the Company. The Company has never derived any revenues from the micro-robotic device. 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 years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2005, the Company has earned no revenues other than interest income and investment income. Acquisition Strategy -------------------- The Company is primarily engaged in seeking 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 and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever successfully complete a merger, acquisition, business combination or other arrangement. 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, and 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. 4
10KSB5th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
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. The Company's U.S. Patent -------------------------- Following the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets in 1999, 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 for microdissection. The Company filed a patent application on December 2, 1998, to protect certain features of the system and method of the micro-robotic device. However, due to the inability of the Company to complete the micro-robotic device, the Company determined that it would cease development of the micro-robotic device and, as of June 30, 2000, the capitalized costs related to the patent underlying the micro-robotic device have been 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"). The Patent may be reviewed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website at www.uspto.gov. The Patent will remain in effect until December 2, 2018, which is twenty (20) years after the initial filing date for the Patent, provided all appropriate maintenance fees are paid. The Patent covers an automated system and method for microdissection of samples such as chromosomes or other biological material, and in particular, it relates to a robotic assisted microdissection system and method that significantly reduces the time and skill needed for cellular and sub-cellular dissections. Microdissection is defined as dissection under the microscope; specifically: dissection of cells and tissues by means of fine needles that are precisely manipulated by levers. The system and method covered by the Patent attempts to provide reliability and ease of operation thereby making microdissection widely available to laboratories. While the Company has never derived any revenues from the micro-robotic device, the Company plans to attempt to license or sell the technology covered by the Patent. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully market the technology covered by the Patent or that the Company will ever derive any revenues from the Patent or the technology covered by the Patent. 5

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 (the "Subsidiary"). The Articles of Incorporation of Bio-Medical Automation, Inc. a Nevada corporation are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.6 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Board of Directors of the Company authorized management of the Company to transfer and assign the Patent to the Subsidiary in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Subsidiary. The transfer of the Patent to the Subsidiary became effective in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The Company plans to develop and exploit the Patent through the Subsidiary. There can be no assurances that the Subsidiary will successfully develop and/or exploit the technology covered by the Patent. 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 is currently 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. In furtherance of the Company's investment strategy the Company opened a brokerage account with Catalyst Financial LLC ("Catalyst"), a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a member in good standing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Catalyst is owned and controlled by Steven N. Bronson, the Company's President. Catalyst has agreed to charge the Company commissions of no more that $.02 per share with a minimum of $75 per trade on securities transactions. The Board approved the commission structure to be charged by Catalyst. Mr. Bronson abstained from voting on all Board resolutions concerning the Company's investment strategy and the Company's arrangements with Catalyst. The Company has investments in a brokerage account with Catalyst. As of December 31, 2005, the Company owned securities valued at $64,500. Such securities had an accumulated other comprehensive gain totaling $4,928 at December 31, 2005 and a realized gain on sale of investments of $3,751 during 2005. The Company's investment in securities is subject to all of the risks associated with equity investing, including a loss of monies invested. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a profitable return on its investments. Employees --------- As of March 22, 2006, 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. 6

Risk Factors Affecting Operating Results and Market Price of Stock ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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, 2005 and December 31, 2004. On March 9, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and essentially ceased all operations. Currently, the primary source of revenue for the Company is interest income. The Company will only earn revenues through the acquisition of or merger(an "Acquisition") with a target company (a "Target") or through the Subsidiary's successful exploitation of the Patent. 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, or that the Subsidiary will derive any revenues from the Patent. The current revenues of the Company may not be sufficient to fund further Acquisitions or the successful development and exploitation of the Patent. Based on the Company's limited resources, the Company may not be able to effectuate its business plan and consummate an Acquisition or exploit the Patent. 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 or to derive any revenues from the Patent. 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. The Company may also require additional financing to develop and exploit the Patent. 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 and to successfully develop and exploit the Patent. The inability of the Company to secure additional financing, if needed, could also have a material adverse effect on the continued existence of RAC. 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. 7
10KSB8th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
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. 8
10KSB9th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
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. Uncertain Prospects of Technology Covered by Patent --------------------------------------------------- The Company has never derived any revenues from the technology covered by the Patent and there can be no assurances that the Company or the Subsidiary will be able to derive any revenues from the exploitation of the Patent. The Company through the Subsidiary will attempt to research and develop a commercial application for the technology covered by the Patent. However there can be no assurances that the Subsidiary will be able to find a commercial application for the technology covered by the Patent. Even if the Subsidiary is able to develop a commercial application for the technology covered by the Patent, there can be no assurances that the Subsidiary will be able to successfully market such application. Competition for the Patent -------------------------- The Company expects to encounter competition from other entities in the medical device business with technology similar to that covered by the Patent. Many of these entities, including large drug and medical companies, bio-technology companies, 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 developing and exploiting medical technology and devices. 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. There can be no assurance that such prospects will permit the Company to achieve its stated business objectives. 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. 9
10KSB10th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
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 March 22, 2006, Mr. Bronson beneficially owns and controls 976,116 shares of common stock of the Company, including options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock, representing approximately 75.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 75.6% 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 Time 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. 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. 10
10KSB11th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
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 5,000,000 shares of common stock. As of March 22, 2006, the Company had 1,140,773 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 3,859,227 authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for issuance. Although the Company has no commitments as of this date to issue its securities, 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 -------------------------------------------------- RAC's Articles of Incorporation authorizes the designation and issuance Of 1,000,000 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 Colorado, 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 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. 11
10KSB12th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
The Company Expects to Pay No Cash Dividends -------------------------------------------- The Company presently does not expect to pay dividends. The payment of dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's then Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, to implement its business plan, accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. 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 Colorado. 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. 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. 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. 12

On December 8, 2005, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with RAM Capital Management Trust I ("RAM Capital"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell RAM Capital 100,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock, $.10 par value (the "Shares"), at a purchase price of $1.65 per share. On December 22, 2005, the Company received RAM Capital's check in the amount of $165,000 as payment of the purchase price for the Shares pursuant to the Agreement. The sale of the Shares are restricted securities and were issued by the Company in a private transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This transaction was previously disclosed by the Company in a current report on Form 8-K, filed on December 27, 2005, and such report is incorporated herein by reference. 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. 15

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following plan of operation 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. 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. 16
10KSB17th Page of 49TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
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 to RAC'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 was currently 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. In furtherance of the Company's investment strategy the Company opened a brokerage account with Catalyst Financial LLC ("Catalyst"), a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a member in good standing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Catalyst is owned and controlled by Steven N. Bronson, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Catalyst has agreed to charge the Company commissions of no more that $.02 per share with a minimum of $75 per trade on securities transactions. The Board approved the commission structure to be charged by Catalyst. Mr. Bronson abstained from voting on all Board resolutions concerning the Company's investment strategy and the Company's arrangements with Catalyst. On October 14, 2003, the Company deposited $250,000 in a brokerage account with Catalyst. As of December 31, 2005, the Company owned securities valued at $64,500 and generated investment income of $3,751 and has an accumulated other comprehensive gain of $4,928. The Company's investment in securities is subject to all of the risks associated with equity investing, including a loss of monies invested. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a profitable return on its investments. 17

Results of Operations --------------------- During the year ended December 31, 2005 ("Fiscal 05"), the Company earned no revenues from operations and generated interest income of $4,343, compared to no revenues from operations and interest income in the amount of $1,192 for the year ended December 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 04"). During Fiscal 05, the Company incurred expenses of $47,542, a decrease of $30,029 compared to expenses of $77,571 for Fiscal 04. On December 31, 2005, the Company had invested $64,500 in accordance with its Investment Strategy, and as of that date the Company had investment income of $3,751 and a 2005 unrealized gain of $931 based on its investment in securities. For Fiscal 05 the Company incurred a net operating loss of $39,448 compared to a net operating loss of $48,260 for Fiscal 04. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- During Fiscal 05, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from cash on hand at the beginning of the year, investment income generated from cash and investments and cash proceeds from the sale of common stock (see "Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities" section, below) during the year. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had working capital of $432,248. While this working capital 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 or the development and the exploitation of the Patent. The Company may need additional funds in order to complete a merger, acquisition or business combination between the Company and a viable operating entity. The Company or the Subsidiary may also need additional funds to finance the development and exploitation of the Patent. 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: (1) its ability to arrange for a merger, acquisition or a business combination with an operating business on favorable terms that will result in profitability, or (2) its ability to successfully develop and exploit the Patent. 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 Company may need additional funds in order to develop and commercially exploit the Patent, 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 develop and commercially exploit the Patent. 18

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Ridgefield Acquisition Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ridgefield Acquisition Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive gain (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005 and for the period from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate under 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005 and for the period from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2005, 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 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no principal 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 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Carlin Charron & Rosen LLP Glastonbury, Connecticut March 17, 2006 F-2

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on October 13, 1983. The Company had been engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of robotic workstations for the electronics industry, including routing and depaneling workstations predominately to entities in North America and the Pacific Rim. In November 1998 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "JOT Agreement") with JOT Automation, Inc. (JOT) a wholly owned Texas subsidiary of JOT Automation Group OYJ, a Finnish corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold JOT all of its assets relating to its depaneling and routing business in exchange for $920,000 and the assumption of the operating liabilities related to the Company's business assets. The sale was completed on March 9, 1999. Subsequent to the sale to JOT, the Company's sole continuing operation was the continuation of research and development activities on a prototype micro-robotic device to manipulate organ tissues on an extremely small scale. The Company had filed for a patent application for the device. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's research and development activities for the device were suspended, pending assessment of the economic benefit of continuing research and development activities or sale of the patent, as well as assessment of other corporate opportunities. In June 2000, the Company determined not to pursue further development or sale of the proto-type device and has written-off the associated patent costs. On January 14, 2003, in connection with its reinstatement as an active corporation in the State of Colorado, the Company changed its name from Bio-Medical Automation, Inc. to Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. On February 27, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the formation of a Nevada corporation named Bio-Medical Automation, Inc. and authorized the management of the Company to transfer the Company's right title and interest in its patent to Bio-Medical Automation, Inc. 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. Commencing January 1, 2000, the Company is considered a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.7, as it has no principal operations nor revenue from any source. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements of Ridgefield Acquisition Corp. include the accounts of Bio-Medical Automation, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. INCOME TAXES The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, the deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net 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 loss per share for any period presented since the inclusion of potentially dilutive convertible equity instruments would be antidilutive. CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. 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. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The company accounts for its stock-based compensation using Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized for stock options with an exercise price that is less than the market price on the grant date of the option. For stock options with exercise prices at or above the market value of the stock on the grant date, the Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, for the stock options granted to the employees and directors of the Company. On March 25, 2005,the Company issued to Mr. Bronson an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the purchase price of $1.16, which was 110% percent of the closing bid price on March 25, 2005 and such option was exercisable for a period of 5 years. On February 24, 2006, Mr. Bronson exercised his option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the purchase price of $1.16. On March 25, 2005, the Company issued options to Leonard Hagan and Kenneth Schwartz to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the purchase price of $1.16, which was 110% percent of the closing bid price on March 25, 2005, for services rendered to the Company. Such options are exercisable for a period of 5 years commencing on March 25, 2005. On February 24, 2006, Messrs: Hagan and Schwartz each exercised their option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the purchase price of $1.16. In 2003, the Company issued an option to Steven N. Bronson to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the purchase price of $1.65, which was 110% percent of the closing bid price on March 21, 2003 and F-10

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) such option is exercisable for a period of 5 years. Had compensation expense for the options granted been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for the options, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123,the Company's net loss and net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 2005 2004 Net loss As reported $ (39,448) $ (48,260) Pro forma (125,932) (48,260) Net loss per share As reported (.04) (.06) Pro forma (.14) (.06) The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2005: no dividend yield; expected volatility of 90%; risk-free interest rate of 2.28%; and expected life of five years. There were no options granted in 2004. PATENT COSTS The Company had applied for a patent from the U.S. Patent Office for a micro-robotic device under development. The costs associated with obtaining this patent were capitalized and were to be amortized over the life of the patent. The patent was the Company's sole asset of continuing operations. In 1999, the Company incurred research and development costs associated with development of the micro-robotic device underlying the patent and had, as of December 31, 1999, continued to assess the economic benefit of continuing research and development activities or sale of the patent. In February 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a shareholder which resulted in a change in control of the Company. The agreement specified that the Company owns certain intellectual property consisting of the patent application and a related Technology License Agreement. In June 2000, the Company decided not to pursue further research and development or sale of the patent and wrote off the capitalized costs. In 2002, the Company received its patent for the micro-robotic device from the U.S. Patent Office. F-11

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) FAIR VALUE The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents accounts at two financial institutions. The Company periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of financial institutions, and maintains cash accounts only in large high quality financial institutions, thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment". SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Subsequent changes in fair value during the requisite service period, measured at each reporting date, will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) is effective in the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) in 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(revised 2004)on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In December 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 " and in May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 "Accounting and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3". The Company is not significantly impacted by these statements and does not expect their implementation to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. F- 12

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING / GOING CONCERN The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $947,820 through December 31, 1999 and has incurred a deficit since reentering the development stage, effective January 1, 2000, of $579,804. As discussed in Note 1, the Company, in 1999, sold all of its assets relating to its historical line of business and abandoned, in 2000, its efforts in the research and development of a micro-robotic device. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has no principal operations or revenue producing activities. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The Company's financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the carrying value of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company's ability to establish itself as a going concern is dependent on its ability to merge with another entity or acquire revenue producing activities. NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS Investments are classified as available for sale according to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Realized gains and losses are calculated using the original cost. Investments at December 31, 2005, are comprised of common stocks which had an aggregate cost of $59,572 and a fair market value of $64,500. Those investments had cumulative unrealized gains of $4,928 at December 31, 2005. During 2005, the Company sold investments that had an aggregate cost of $181,031 and an aggregate sales price of $184,782 which resulted in realized gains of $3,751. During 2004, the Company sold investments that had an aggregate cost of $349,980 and an aggregate sales price of $378,099 which resulted in realized gains of $28,119. NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK Common shares issued for non-cash consideration are valued at the trading price of the Company's common stock as of the date the shares were approved for issuance. On December 8, 2005, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement(the "Agreement") with RAM Capital Management Trust I ("RAM Capital"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell RAM Capital 100,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock, $.10 par value (the "Shares"), at a purchase price of $1.65 per share. On December 22, 2005, the Company received RAM Capital's check in the amount of $165,000 as payment of the purchase price for the shares pursuant to the Agreement (also see Note 6). F-13

RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) The Company has fully reserved the tax benefits of these operating losses and credits because the likelihood of realization of the tax benefits cannot be determined. These carryforwards and credits are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. The approximately $346,000 tax benefit of the loss carryforward has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Therefore, there is no current or deferred tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. of the total tax benefit of the loss carryforward, approximately $38,000 and $48,000 is applicable to 2005 and 2004, respectively. Temporary differences between the time of reporting certain items for financial and tax reporting purposes are not considered significant by management of the Company. NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 2005 and 2004 the Company incurred approximately $0 and $270, respectively, in professional fees to a firm managed by a member of the Board of Directors. In November 2001, the Company entered into a Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory Agreement with Catalyst Financial LLC ("Catalyst"), an entity whose owner and principal is the President of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Catalyst will earn a fee, as outlined in the agreement, in the event the Company completes a merger. The agreement is for a three year period, terminating November, 2004.
