A schedule of the company’s portfolio holdings at April 30, 2017, consisting entirely of municipal obligations, is included in the financial report. The company invests exclusively in non-voting securities. The company files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The company’s Forms N-Q are available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. They may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C., and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
The net asset value per share at April 30, 2017 was $12.28, compared with $12.60 at April 30, 2016. Net investment income per share was $.22, for the year ended April 30, 2017, compared with $.25 for the year ended April 30, 2016. Distributions to shareholders amounted to $.22 per share for fiscal 2017, compared to $.25 for
fiscal 2016.
At the company’s last annual meeting on July 19, 2016, the reappointment of WeiserMazars LLP (now known as Mazars USA LLP) as the company’s auditors for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2017 was ratified by the shareholders as follows:
Also at the last annual meeting, the then incumbent directors, all of whom are named below, were all reelected to serve as directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders, or until their successors are elected and have qualified.
Mr. Pelton recently resigned as a director and officer for personal reasons, and Mr. Negin recently passed away.
The following Tables A and B set forth information concerning the directors and a nominee as director, and Table C sets forth information concerning non-director officers of the company. The Table A directors (Mark Goodman and Peter Goodman) are “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Table B directors and nominee (Messrs. Kramer and Stoever, and Ms. Rall) are not. Peter Goodman and his son Mark Goodman are “interested persons” because each of them is an officer and holder of more than 5% of the shares of the company
The board of directors governs the Company and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The directors meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Company’s activities and review its performance. Each of the directors is committed to regular and active participation in board and committee meetings. The board believes that, collectively, the directors have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills which allow the board to operate effectively in governing the Company and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes and qualifications of each director is provided below.
No director or officer received any compensation from the Company during the last fiscal year, except for the fees of $12,000 paid during each year to each director, plus an additional $5,000 to Paul Kramer as chairman of the audit committee. The Company does not have any bonus, profit sharing, or other compensation plan, contract or arrangement with anyone, nor any pension or retirement plan; nor has the Company ever granted to anyone any option, warrants or other rights to purchase securities.
All executive officers of the Company as a group (two persons) received compensation (comprised solely of said directors' fees) aggregating $24,000 during fiscal 2017 (which excludes professional fees paid to the law firm of which I. Robert Harris, secretary of the Company, is a member).
Additional information about directors may be requested by any shareholder without charge, by telephoning the company’s secretary, I. Robert Harris, collect at 212-682-8383, extension 739.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
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, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations for the years then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the three years in the three-year period ended April 30, 2017, and the financial highlights (see Note 7) for each of the five years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2017. 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, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Tridan Corp.Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2017 and 2016
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.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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, 2017 and 2016.
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 would be 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 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.
Tridan Corp.Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2017 and 2016
The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, New York State and New York City where the Company makes significant investments. 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 is 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 highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less 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. At April 30, 2017, there were no cash and cash equivalents held in excess of federally insured limits. The value of the Company's investments may be subject to possible risks involving, among other things, the continued creditworthiness of the various state and local government agencies and public financing authorities underlying its investments.
Tridan Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2017 and 2016
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, 2017 and 2016. 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.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access. |
| 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 observable inputs 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 Level 2 instruments.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value as of April 30, 2017 and 2016:
| | Quoted Prices for Identical Instruments in Non-active Markets (Level 2) | |
| | April 30, | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
| | | | | | |
Investments in municipal obligations | | $ | 37,671,055 | | | $ | 37,443,486 | |
Total investments at fair value | | $ | 37,671,055 | | | $ | 37,443,486 | |
Tridan Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2017 and 2016
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.
