Exhibit 31

      Statement Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
         By Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer
       Regarding Facts and Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act Filings

I, Steven N. Bronson, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 of Ridgefield Acquisition Corp.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business
issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:

    a. Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
    disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
    ensure that material information relating to the small business issuer,
    including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
    within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report
    is being prepared;

    b. Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
    internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our
    supervision, 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;

    c. Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure
    controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about
    the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
    of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

    d. Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
    internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the small
    business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuer's
    fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
    affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
    issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit
committee of the small business issuer's board of directors (or persons
performing the equivalent functions):

    a. All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
    operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
    likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's ability to record,
    process, summarize and report financial information; and

    b. Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
    employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
    internal control over financial reporting.
