Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes and qualifications of each director is provided below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Tridan Corp.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Tridan Corp. (the “Company”), including the schedules of investments in municipal obligations, as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations for the years then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the three years in the three-year period ended April 30, 2014, and the financial highlights (see Note 7) for each of the five years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2014. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned, as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tridan Corp. as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the results of its operations for the years then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the three-year period ended April 30, 2014, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by Tridan Corp. (the "Company"), a closed‑end, non‑diversified management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, in the preparation of its financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” ("FASB ASU 2011-11"). FASB ASU 2011-11 adds certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting and related arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. As the amendment impacts disclosure only, it will have no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU-2013-08, Amendments to the scope, measurement and disclosure requirements for Investment Companies under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The amendments do all of the following:
| 1. | Change the approach to the investment company assessment in Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. |
| 2. | Require an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. |
| 3. | Require the following additional disclosures: |
| (a) | the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in Topic 946, |
| (b) | information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investmentcompany, and |
| (c) | information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. |
The amendment in this update is effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited.
The Company believes that this amendment will have no effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Acquisition and valuation of investments
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased/sold (trade date) and interest on securities acquired/sold is included in income from/to the settlement date. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which is equivalent to fair value.
Fair values for the Company's investments in municipal obligations have been determined based on the bid price of the obligation. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the board of directors. There were no securities valued by the board of directors, for which quotations were not readily available, as of April 30, 2014 and 2013.
Amortization of bond premium or discount
In determining investment income, bond premiums or discounts are amortized over the remaining term of the obligation.
Income taxes
It is the Company's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Company also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no income tax provision is required.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded.
The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, New York State and New York City where the Company makes significant investments; however, the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. Generally, the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by Federal, state and local authorities for a period of three years from the later of the due date of such returns or the actual date the returns were filed.
Interest income from municipal investments are exempt from Federal and state income taxes.
Distributions to shareholders
Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are paid quarterly. Distribution of capital gains, if any, are made at least annually, and as required to comply with Federal excise tax requirements. Dividends to shareholders are determined in accordance with tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all investments that can be liquidated on demand to be cash equivalents.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are used in determining the fair value of investments.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Company maintains all of its cash on deposit in one financial institution.
The cash and cash equivalent balance at April 30, 2014 was approximately $542,000. The value of the Company's investments may be subject to possible risks involving, among other things, the continued credit worthiness of the various state and local government agencies and public financing authorities underlying its investments.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivables and accrued liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these items. The company accounts for its investments in municipal obligations in accordance with the accounting guidance for investment companies (FASB ASC 946). See Note 1 “Acquisition and Valuation of Investments” for a description of the valuation methodology which is unchanged as of April 30, 2014 and 2013. FASB ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. The valuation techniques required by FASB ASC 820 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions.
These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access. |

Years Ended April 30, 2014 and 2013
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, yield curves, default rates, and similar data. |
| Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observableinputs are not available, representing a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability,and that would be based on the best information available. |
The Company’s investments in municipal obligations are all considered as Level 2 instruments.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value as of April 30, 2014 and 2013:
| | Quoted Prices for Identical Instruments in Non-active Markets (Level 2) | |
| | April 30, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
| | | | | | |
Investments in municipal obligations | | $ | 37,906,953 | | | $ | 38,789,635 | |
Total investments at fair value | | $ | 37,906,953 | | | $ | 38,789,635 | |
The Company utilizes quoted market prices for it securities owned, when available. Instruments classified as Level 2 are valued using industry-standard models or other valuation methodologies calibrated to observable market inputs. These models consider various assumptions regarding the security or securities with similar characteristics, such as trade data, bid price or spread, two sided markets, quotes, benchmark curves, and market data feeds, as well as other measurements.
In the notes to its financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2013, the Company classified the inputs to determine the fair value of the investments in municipal obligations as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy; however, the Company has reclassified such investments in municipal obligations as Level 2 for all periods presented because the Company’s fair value determination was made using significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The potential for conflicts of interest exists when portfolio managers manage other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies as the Funds ("Similar Accounts"). Potential conflicts may include, for example, conflicts between investment strategies and conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities.
Responsibility for managing the
Advisers’
and its affiliates’ clients’ portfolios is organized according to investment strategies within asset classes. Generally, client portfolios with similar strategies are managed by portfolio managers in the same portfolio management group using the same objectives, approach and philosophy. Underlying sectors or strategy allocations within a larger portfolio are likewise managed by portfolio managers who use the same approach and philosophy as similarly managed portfolios. Therefore, portfolio holdings, relative position sizes and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across similar portfolios and strategies, which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest.
The Adviser and/or its affiliates may receive more compensation with respect to certain Similar Accounts than that received with respect to the Funds or may receive compensation based in part on the performance of certain Similar Accounts. This may create a potential conflict of interest for the Adviser
and its affiliates or the portfolio managers by providing an incentive to favor these Similar Accounts when, for example, placing securities transactions. In addition,
the Adviser or its affiliates could be viewed as having a conflict of interest to the extent that
the Adviser or an affiliate has a proprietary investment in Similar Accounts, the portfolio managers have personal investments in Similar Accounts or the Similar Accounts are investment options in
the Adviser’s or its affiliates’ employee benefit plans. Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of investment opportunities because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon the Adviser and its affiliates by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. Allocations of aggregated trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially completed due to limited availability and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could raise a potential conflict of interest, as
the Adviser or its affiliates may have an incentive to allocate securities that are expected to increase in value to favored accounts. Initial public offerings, in particular, are frequently of very limited availability. The Adviser and its affiliates may be perceived as causing accounts they manage to participate in an offering to increase
the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ overall allocation of securities in that offering. A potential conflict of interest also may be perceived to arise if transactions in one account closely follow related transactions in a different account, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by a second account. If
the Adviser or its affiliates manage accounts that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests,
the Adviser or its affiliates could be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.
As an internal policy matter, the Adviser or its affiliates may from time to time maintain certain overall investment limitations on the securities positions or positions in other financial instruments the Adviser or its affiliates will take on behalf of its various clients due to, among other things, liquidity concerns and regulatory restrictions. Such policies may preclude a Fund from purchasing particular securities or financial instruments, even if such securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the Fund’s objectives.
The goal of
the Adviser and its affiliates is to meet their fiduciary obligation with respect to all clients.
The Adviser and its affiliates have policies and procedures that seek to manage conflicts.
The Adviser and its affiliates monitor a variety of areas, including compliance with fund guidelines, review of allocation decisions and compliance with the Advisers’ Codes of Ethics and JPMorgan Chase and Co.’s Code of Conduct. With respect to the allocation of investment opportunities,
the Adviser and its affiliates also have certain policies designed to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time. For example:
Orders for the same equity security traded through a single trading desk or system are aggregated on a continual basis throughout each trading day consistent with
the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ duty of best execution for its clients. If aggregated trades are fully executed, accounts participating in the trade will be allocated their pro rata share on an average price basis. Partially completed orders generally will be allocated among the participating accounts on a pro-rata average price basis, subject to certain limited exceptions. For example, accounts that would receive a
de minimis allocation relative to their size may be excluded from the order. Another exception may occur when thin markets or price volatility require that an aggregated order be completed in multiple executions over several days. If partial completion of the order would result in an uneconomic allocation to an account due to fixed transaction or custody costs,
the Adviser and its affiliates may exclude small orders until 50% of the total order is completed. Then the small orders will be executed. Following this procedure, small orders will lag in the early execution of the order, but will be completed before completion of the total order.
Purchases of money market instruments and fixed income securities cannot always be allocated pro-rata across the accounts with the same investment strategy and objective. However,
the Adviser and its affiliates attempt to mitigate any potential unfairness by basing non-pro rata allocations traded through a single trading desk or system upon objective predetermined criteria for the selection of investments and a disciplined process for allocating securities with similar duration, credit quality and liquidity in the good faith judgment of
the Adviser or its affiliates so that fair and equitable allocation will occur over time.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMPENSATION
The Adviser’s portfolio managers participate in a competitive compensation program that is designed to attract and retain outstanding people and closely link the performance of investment professionals to client investment objectives. The total compensation program includes a base salary fixed from year to year and a variable performance bonus consisting of cash incentives and restricted stock and may include mandatory notional investments (as described below) in selected mutual funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. These elements reflect individual performance and the performance of the Adviser’s business as a whole.
Each portfolio manager’s performance is formally evaluated annually based on a variety of factors including the aggregate size and blended performance of the portfolios such portfolio manager manages. Individual contribution relative to client goals carries the highest impact. Portfolio manager compensation is primarily driven by meeting or exceeding clients’ risk and return objectives, relative performance to competitors or competitive indices and compliance with firm policies and regulatory requirements. In evaluating each portfolio manager’s performance with respect to the mutual funds he or she manages, the funds’ pre-tax performance is compared to the appropriate market peer group and to each fund’s benchmark index listed in the fund’s prospectuses over one, three and five year periods (or such shorter time as the portfolio manager has managed the fund). Investment performance is generally more heavily weighted to the long-term.
Awards of restricted stock are granted as part of an employee’s annual performance bonus and comprise from 0% to 40% of a portfolio manager’s total bonus. As the level of incentive compensation increases, the percentage of compensation awarded in restricted stock also increases. Up to 50% of the restricted stock portion of a portfolio manager's bonus may instead be subject to mandatory notional investment in selected mutual funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. When these awards vest over time, the portfolio manager receives cash equal to the market value of the notional investment in the selected mutual funds.
