A schedule of the company’s portfolio holdings at April 30, 2019, 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, 2019 was $12.18, compared with $11.91 at April 30, 2018. Net investment income per share was $.18, for the year ended April 30, 2019, compared with $.19 for the year ended April 30, 2018.

At the company’s last annual meeting on July 17, 2018, the reappointment of Mazars USA LLP as the company’s auditors for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2019 was ratified by the shareholders as follows:
Also at the last annual meeting on July 17, 2018, 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.
*Warren Pelton passed away on December 7, 2018. At the meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 7, 2019, consideration was given to the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the death of Warren Pelton. Prior to his death, the company functioned with six directors. No action was taken to add an additional member to the Board of Directors to replace Mr. Pelton.
Mr. Pelton was also the company’s Vice President and Treasurer at the time of his death. At the meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 7, 2019, after discussion of the need to fill the vacancy in these offices, Mark Goodman was elected as Vice President and Treasurer of the company.
The following Tables A and B set forth information concerning the directors, 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 (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 (except Warren Pelton, who received $6,000), 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 2018 (which excludes professional fees paid to the law firm where Robert Birnbaum, secretary of the Company, is of counsel).
Additional information about directors may be requested by any shareholder without charge, by telephoning the company’s secretary, Robert Birnbaum, collect at 212-930-9700, extension 889.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Tridan Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2019, and the related notes, collectively referred to as the “financial statements and financial highlights”). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchanges Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights and other data are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned, as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1980.

|
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 securi-ties acquired/sold is included in income from/to the settlem-ent 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, 2019 and 2018.
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.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Act”) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform proposals affecting businesses in the United States of America, including corporate tax rates, business deductions and international tax provisions. One of the key changes to the tax law was the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. U.S. GAAP requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Notes to Financial Statements |
April 30, 2019 and 2018 |
|
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.
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, 2019 and 2018, there was approximately $1,200,000 and $700,000 of cash and cash equivalents held in excess of federally insured limits, respectively. 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.

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, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019 and 2018:
| | Quoted Prices for Identical Instruments in Non-active Markets (Level 2) | |
| | April 30, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | | | | | |
Investments in municipal obligations | | $ | 35,583,277 | | | $ | 35,208,242 | |
Total investments at fair value | | $ | 35,583,277 | | | $ | 35,208,242 | |
The Company utilizes quoted market prices for its 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.

5. | Common Stock, Share Redemption Plan and Net Asset Values |
At April 30, 2019 and 2018, there were 6,000,000 shares of $0.02 par value common stock authorized of which 3,199,100 had been issued aggregating $63,982.
The Company has a share redemption plan applicable to 22,005 shares and 24,302 shares, respectively, of outstanding common stock, at April 30, 2019 and 2018. The plan permits eligible shareholders or their estates to have their shares redeemed upon reaching age 65 or upon death. Shares are redeemed at the net asset value per share, as of the end of the Company's fiscal quarter in which the request for redemption is received. At April 30, 2019 and 2018, 114,311.9613 shares ($1,359,573) and 112,015.6123 shares ($1,332,205), respectively, have been redeemed under this plan.
The net asset value per share is calculated by dividing the aggregate fair value of all assets less the aggregate fair value of all liabilities by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period.
The net asset values per share and the shares outstanding are as follows:
| | April 30, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
