Dear Shareholder:
This semi-annual report of Tridan Corp. covers the six-month period from May 1, 2012 to October 31, 2012. As part of this report, we enclose the unaudited financial report for that six-month period and for the corresponding period in 2011.
A schedule of the company’s portfolio holdings at October 31, 2011, 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 October 31, 2012 was $12.89, compared with $12.51 at October 31, 2011. Net investment income per share was $.14 for the six-month period ended October 31, 2012, compared with $.16 for the six-month period ended October 31, 2011.

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2012, no director or officer received any compensation from the company except for fees of $6,000 paid to each director, plus an additional $2,500 to Paul Kramer as chairman of the audit committee. All executive officers of the company as a group (two persons) received compensation (comprised solely of said directors’ fees) aggregating $12,000 during said period (which excludes professional fees paid to the law firm of which I. Robert Harris, secretary of the company, is a member).
At its meeting on June 12, 2012, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of the company’s investment advisory agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. for the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The board considered a variety of material factors and conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the board’s approval, as discussed below.
Throughout the year, the directors received and analyzed a substantial quantity of comprehensive information and written materials, including ongoing analysis of Tridan's existing portfolio and Morgan's recommendations in light of its forecasts for the economy, employment trends, business conditions, federal rate moves, interest trends including comparisons between tax-exempt and taxable bonds, appropriate maturities, quality, yields, diversification, etc. The directors subject Morgan's portfolio management to scrutiny at each board meeting, including examination of transactions completed since the prior meeting and an overview of the entire portfolio. Written materials received by the directors before and during each meeting include reports, statistics, charts, graphs, performance records, comparisons with other funds and the like. Morgan is constantly questioned at great length regarding its views, its recommendations and its performance.

In addition to the foregoing, as requested by Tridan’s corporate counsel pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, Morgan submitted its audited financial statements and detailed information regarding Morgan's business, personnel and operations, advisory services, compensation matters, portfolio strategy, investment performance, sources of information, fee comparisons, compliance programs, and other matters of significance to the relationship between Tridan and its investment adviser, all of which material was furnished to each director. The directors reviewed all of this material and discussed the same at length, as well as their own views on Morgan’s previous performance and relationship with Tridan, with particular attention to the following areas:
Investment Performance
At each meeting, the directors receive, review and discuss with Morgan’s representatives various data showing Tridan’s portfolio characteristics, including market value, average duration, credit quality, coupon, estimated annual income and yield statistics, and breakdown information regarding duration, credit, and investment sectors. Morgan’s quarterly presentation also includes the portfolio performance over three months, year to date, one year, three years, five years and ten years, compared with the Lipper NY Intermediate Muni Debt Funds, JPMorgan NY Tax Free Bond Fund, Sanford Bernstein NY Muni Fund, and Barclays 1-17 Year NY Muni Bond Index. Based on their review, the directors all agreed that Tridan’s relative investment performance has been satisfactory.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
The board’s analysis of the nature, extent and quality of Morgan’s services to Tridan was based on knowledge gained over time from discussions with management and at the board’s regular meetings. In addition, the directors reviewed materials contained in Morgan’s response to Tridan’s 15(c) Questionnaire pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, and its Form ADV under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 concerning, among much other information, the qualifications, education and experience of Morgan’s personnel involved in rendering those services. As Tridan’s investment adviser, Morgan manages the investment of the Company’s assets, including purchases and sales of securities, and arranges for the periodic transfer of cash required to pay expenses and make distributions to shareholders. Morgan also provides clerical and bookkeeping services, and prepares and issues periodic reports and statements. Its affiliate maintains custody of Tridan’s securities and provides access thereto upon request. The board considered its adviser’s performance of these administrative and support services, including monitoring adherence to the company’s investment policies, guidelines and restrictions, Morgan’s responsiveness to requests by Tridan’s counsel for periodic information, reports and certifications required for compliance with securities laws and regulations, and maintaining and monitoring their respective compliance programs in light of today’s extensive regulatory requirements. The board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Morgan to the company have been and continue to be appropriate and beneficial.

Fees
Under its Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan, Tridan pays an annual fee, computed and payable quarterly, equal to 0.28% (28 basis points) of its net assets under management. The agreement requires Morgan to bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under the agreement, without any reimbursement from the company. In addition, the annual charge made to Tridan for maintaining custody of the company’s securities, and for custodial-related services rendered by Morgan and its affiliates, is 0.02% (2 basis points) of the assets held in the custody account. In light of the nature, extent and quality of the services received by Tridan from Morgan and its affiliated companies, and comparing the management fees charged by Morgan to other fixed-income investment companies managed by it, all of which are many times larger than Tridan, the Board considers Morgan’s management fee to Tridan to be reasonable.
After full consideration of the above factors, the board concluded unanimously that renewal of the investment advisory agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. was in the best interest of Tridan and its shareholders.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Tridan Corp.
We have compiled the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and schedules of investments in municipal obligations of Tridan Corp. as of October 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the six months then ended. We have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or provide any assurance about whether the financial statements are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.
Our responsibility is to conduct the compilation in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The objective of a compilation is to assist management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements without undertaking to obtain or provide any assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements.
The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended April 30, 2012 was derived from financial statements that were audited by another accounting firm. Their report, dated June 22, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon, but they have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
We are not independent with respect to Tridan Corp.

Recently issued accounting standards - In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” ("FASB ASU 2011-04"), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. FASB ASU 2011-04 does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP. FASB ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Additionally, FASB ASU 2011-04 clarifies the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. FASB ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
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.
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 October 31, 2012 and 2011.
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.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income taxes (continued) - 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 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 requirement. 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.
Subsequent events evaluation - The evaluation of subsequent events was effective through December 1, 2012, which is the financial statement issuance date.
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 October 31, 2012 was approximately $388,000. 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. The Company and its investment advisor periodically consider the credit quality of the Company's investments, and the Company adheres to its investment objective of investing only in investment grade securities.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 adopted the disclosure and measurement requirements of FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” effective May 1, 2008 for its investments in municipal obligations. 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 October 31, 2012 and 2011.
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 -
|
Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
|
|
Level 2-
|
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drives are observable.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
|
The Company’s investments in municipal obligations are considered as Level 1 instruments.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value as of October 31, 2012 and 2011:

The Company has a share redemption plan applicable to approximately 36,650 shares and 37,700 shares, respectively, of outstanding common stock, at October 31, 2012 and 2011. The plan permits eligible shareholders or their estates to have their shares redeemed upon reaching age 65 or upon death.
