Dear Shareholder:
This semi-annual report of Tridan Corp. covers the six-month period from May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020. As part of this report, we enclose the unaudited financial report for that six-month

A schedule of the company’s portfolio holdings at October 31, 2020, 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 on Form N-PORT (formerly Form N-Q). The company’s Form N-PORT and N-Q are available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. These filings 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, 2020 was $12.39, compared with $12.35 at October 31, 2019. Net investment income per share was $0.08 for the six-month period ended October 31, 2020,

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2020, 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 the company’s Secretary, Robert Birnbaum).
At its meeting on June 18, 2020, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of the company’s investment advisory agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“Morgan”) for the period July 1, 2020
to June 30, 2021, with the fee reduction noted below. 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 and five years, compared with the 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 had paid an annual fee, computed and payable quarterly, equal to 0.28% (28 basis points) of its net assets under management. Morgan has agreed to reduce its
annual fee to 0.25% (25 basis points) of its net assets under management, effective June 1, 2020. 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.

Accountants’ Compilation Report
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Tridan Corp.
Management is responsible for the accompanying financial statements of Tridan Corp., (a corporation) which comprise the statements of assets and liabilities and schedules of investments in municipal obligations
as of October 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations for the six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related statement of changes in net assets for the six months ended October 31, 2020, and the related notes to
the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have performed a compilation engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not audit or review the financial statements nor were we required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by
management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any form of assurance on these financial statements.
The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended April 30, 2020 was derived from financial statements that were audited by another accounting firm. Their report, dated June 23, 2020, expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon, but they have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
A statement of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 has not been presented. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that such a statement be
presented when financial statements purport to present financial position and results of operations.
We are not independent with respect to Tridan Corp.

Tridan Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2020 and 2019
| 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 October 31, 2020 and 2019.
Amortization of Bond Premium or Discount
In determining investment income, bond premiums or discounts are amortized over the remaining term of the obligation based on the earlier of the call date or the maturity
date of the applicable bond.
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%. 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.

Tridan Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2020 and 2019
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. Distributions 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2020 and 2019
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 October 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.
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 October 31, 2020 and 2019. 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.

curves, and market data feeds, as well as other measurements.
