The subjects referred to above are discussed in the Proxy Statement attached to this notice. Each shareholder is invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in person. Shareholders of record at the close of business on May 18, 2007 have the right to vote at the meeting. If you cannot be present at the meeting, we urge you to fill in, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy in order that your shares will be represented at the meeting. By Order of the Board of Directors I. Robert Harris, Secretary June 1, 2007 TRIDAN CORP. 261 West 35th Street, 16th Floor New York, NY 10001 PROXY STATEMENT This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Tridan Corp., a New York corporation (the "Company") of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held June 19, 2007 and any and all adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement is being mailed to shareholders on or about June 1, 2006. All proxies which have been properly executed and received by the time of the meeting will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the instructions thereon. Any shareholder executing a proxy may revoke it in writing by execution of another proxy or by any other legal method at any time before the shares subject to the proxy are voted at the meeting. The Board of Directors recommends that shares be voted, and if no choice is specified on the proxy, the shares will be voted FOR the election as directors of the nominees hereinafter named, FOR ratification of the selection of Weiser LLP, as auditors, and in the discretion of the proxy holders on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting. As of May 18, 2007, there were issued and outstanding 3,112,535.0161 shares of capital stock, par value $.02 per share, of the Company, which is the only class of capital stock of the Company. Shareholders will be entitled to one vote for each share held, with pro rata voting rights for any fractional shares. Holders of record of such shares at the close of business on May 18, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. The participants in the Tridan Corp. Employees' Stock Ownership Trust are the beneficial shareholders of the shares held under the Trust, and the shares held for such participants will be voted only if and as directed by the participant for whose account such shares are held of record by the trustees of the Trust. Accordingly, the attached Notice, this Proxy Statement and the form of proxy have been mailed to each person who was a participant on the record date, and the shares beneficially owned by such participants will be voted in accordance with their proxies. The Company will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing the form of proxy and the material used in connection with solicitation of proxies. In addition to solicitation by use of the mails, certain officers and directors of the Company, who will receive no compensation for their services (other than their regular compensation) may solicit the return of proxies personally or by telephone or telegraph. An Annual Report covering the operations of the Company for its fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 is enclosed herewith, but does not constitute a part of the material for the solicitation of proxies. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS At the meeting, six directors are to be elected to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their respective successors shall have been chosen and qualified, or as otherwise provided in the By-Laws of the Company. The election of a Board of Directors will require the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting. It is intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote such proxy, if signed and returned, for the election of the nominees listed below. If for any reason any of said nominees shall become unavailable for election, which is not anticipated, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to expect that any of the nominees will fail to be a candidate at the meeting and, accordingly, does not have in mind any substitute. As of May 18, 2007, Peter Goodman owned beneficially 1,276,910.73 shares (41%) of the Company, which does not include shares owned by Barbara S. Goodman, Peter Goodman's wife, nor shares owned by them as trustees for his brother Thomas Goodman. The following Tables A and B set forth information concerning directors and nominees for election as director for a term of one year. Table C sets forth information concerning non-director officers of the Company. The Table A nominees (Mark Goodman, Peter Goodman and Warren Pelton) are "interested persons" as defined in Section 2(a)19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Table B nominees (Messrs. Kramer, Negin and Stoever) are not. Peter Goodman is an "interested person" because he is an officer and holder of more than 5% of the shares of the Company, Mark Goodman because he is Peter Goodman's son, and Warren Pelton because he is an officer of the Company.

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 options, 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 2007 (which excludes professional fees paid to the law firm of which I. Robert Harris, secretary of the Company, is a member). - 4 - COMMITTEES Audit Committee The Audit Committee consists of three directors appointed by the board, namely Paul Kramer, Chairman, Jay S. Negin and Russell J. Stoever, each of whom is independent as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD listing standards. The board has determined that Mr. Kramer qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert, as defined by applicable SEC rules and regulations. The Audit Committee operates under its charter, which it reviews annually and which is then submitted for approval by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter is attached as an appendix to this proxy statement. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling their oversight responsibilities relating to the quality of the Company's accounting and auditing practices, including its financial statements and financial reporting process, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements, and compliance with the Company's ethics program and with regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The committee met three times during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Audit Committee Report The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company's April 30, 2007 audited financial statements with management and with Weiser LLP, the Company's independent registered certified public accountants. The Audit Committee has also discussed with said auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended by statements on Auditing Standards Nos. 89 and 90, has received from them the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and has discussed with them their independence from the Company. The Audit Committee met separately with the independent registered certified public accountants, with and without management, to discuss the results of their examination and their observations and recommendations. Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements as of April 30, 2007 be issued to shareholders and filed with the SEC. Audit Committee Members: Paul Kramer, Chairman Jay S. Negin Russell J. Stoever Nominating Committee The Company does not have a standing nominating committee, because of the small size of the Board of Directors and the infrequency of its turnover. Rather, on those rare occasions when a new candidate is proposed for consideration, whether by a shareholder or by others, the entire board considers the candidate and the board itself acts as a nominating - 5 - committee. The board considers a candidate's, experience, familiarity with business and investments, knowledge about issues affecting the Company, and willingness to spend the time necessary to read applicable materials and attend meetings. In instances where the board determines that a candidate will be a valuable replacement or addition to the Board of Directors, the board recommends such candidate's election by the shareholders. This procedure has been followed successfully and without issue since 1980, when the Company first became a registered investment company, and the board believes it continues to be appropriate. ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, there were five meetings of the Board of Directors and three meetings of the Audit Committee. Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the Audit Committee on which he served. Although the Company has no formal policy regarding director attendance at the annual shareholders meetings, directors are expected to attend, and all members of the Board attended last year's annual meeting. SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS The Board of Directors has not established a formal process for shareholders to send communications to the Board. In the Board's view, it is appropriate for the Company not to have such process, because the directors are few in number, and any shareholder who wishes to do so may address a letter to the attention of the entire Board, care of the Company at its principal office, or to individual Board members either at that address or at their personal addresses listed in the proxy statement. PRINCIPAL AND MANAGEMENT SHAREHOLDERS The following table sets forth certain information concerning directors and nominees as directors of the Company and persons believed by the Company to be the record owners of more than five percent (5%) of the Company's voting securities as of May 18, 2007: Number of Shares Percent Name and Address of Beneficially Owned of Class on Title of Class Beneficial Owner on May 18, 2007 May 18, 2007 ---------------- ------------------------ ------------------ ------------ Capital Stock Peter Goodman 1,276,910.73 1/ 2/ 41.02% (par value $.02) 65 Wendover Road Rye, NY 10580 Barbara S.

Robert W. Erdos, Peter Goodman, Thomas Goodman and Warren F. Pelton are trustees of said Trust. 3/ Including 600,000 shares owned of record only, by Peter Goodman and Barbara S. Goodman, as trustees for Thomas Goodman (Peter Goodman's brother). 4/ This amount does not include 49,000 shares owned of record and beneficially by Erda Erdos, Mr. Erdos' wife. The foregoing table and footnotes shall not be construed as an admission that Peter Goodman is the beneficial owner of any shares owned by him as a trustee for his brother, nor of any shares owned by Mr. Goodman's wife; nor as an admission that Barbara S. Goodman is the beneficial owner of any shares owned by her as a trustee for Peter Goodman's brother; nor as an admission that Robert W. Erdos is the beneficial owner of any shares owned by Mr. Erdos' wife. Peter Goodman, president and a director of the Company, controls the Company in that any matter to be voted on at the meeting can be decided by Mr. Goodman and any one of several other shareholders, who together own a majority of the outstanding shares, if they vote in the same way on such matter. Joseph T. Scialo is the Company's Administrator. Mr. Scialo is a certified public accountant in the firm of Scialo & Company CPA, P.C., 261 West 35th Street, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10001. - 7 - RELATIONSHIP WITH AND RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The Audit Committee is responsible for approving the engagement of the Company's independent public accountants prior to their engagement. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors have unanimously approved the selection of Weiser LLP as independent public accountants for the Company for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2007. The former accounting firm of Leslie Sufrin and Company, P.C., which merged into Weiser LLP, had been the Company's auditors since it became a registered investment company in 1980. Although shareholder ratification is not required by law, to be consistent with past practice the firm's selection is being submitted for ratification by the shareholders, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company present at the meeting. If shareholders do not ratify their selection, the Board will reconsider the matter and will decide whether to retain that firm. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors reviewed the services performed by Weiser LLP during the last fiscal year and determined that such services did not affect their independence. The firm has no direct or indirect financial interest in the Company, except for fees received by it for services which were furnished at customary rates and terms. Representatives of the firm are expected to be present at the meeting, will be given an opportunity to make such statements as they feel appropriate, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Audit Fees - Weiser LLP billed the Company a total of $40,000 for the 2007 fiscal year, and $35,495 for the 2006 fiscal year, for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements and in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for those years. Audit-Related Fees - No fees were billed to the Company for the last two fiscal years for any audit-related services. Tax Fees - No fees were billed to the Company for the last two fiscal years for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning. All Other Fees - No fees were billed to the Company for the last two fiscal years for any other services. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND ADVISER The Company's investment adviser is J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., conducting business under the name JP Morgan Asset Management ("Morgan"), 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10167. The Investment Advisory Agreement dated July 1, 2000 (the "Agreement") between the Company and Morgan was most recently approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting on June 20, 2000 and expires June 30, 2007. On May 24, 2007, the Board of Directors (including the Company's independent directors) unanimously approved a continuation of the Agreement until June 30, 2008 (subject to the early termination provisions contained in the Agreement). Under the Agreement Morgan, subject to the general supervision of the Company's Board of Directors and in conformance with the stated policies of the Company, manages investment operations and the composition of the Company's portfolio of securities and - 8 - investments. In this regard, it is the responsibility of Morgan to make investment decisions for the Company and to place the purchase and sale orders for the portfolio transactions of the Company. As compensation for the services rendered and related expenses borne by Morgan, the Company, under the Agreement, has paid Morgan an annual fee, computed and payable quarterly, equal to 0.28% of the Company's net assets under management. Morgan received fees aggregating $103,182 applicable to the year ended April 30, 2007. The investment advisory services of Morgan to the Company are not exclusive under the terms of the Agreement. Morgan is free to, and does, render investment advisory services to others, including numerous funds. Morgan seeks to obtain the best price and execution of orders placed for the Company's assets considering all of the circumstances. If transactions are executed in the over-the-counter market, Morgan will deal with the principal market makers, unless more favorable prices and executions are otherwise obtainable. There is no agreement by Morgan with any broker or dealer to place orders with it. When circumstances relating to a proposed transaction indicate that a particular broker or dealer is in a position to provide the best execution considering all factors including price, the order is placed with that broker or dealer. This may or may not be a broker or dealer which has provided statistical or other factual information to Morgan. Subject to the requirement of seeking the best price and execution, Morgan may, in circumstances in which two or more brokers are in a position to offer comparable prices and execution, give preference to a broker or dealer which has provided statistical and other factual information to it. Morgan is of the opinion that while such information is useful in varying degrees, it is of indeterminable value and does not reduce the expenses of Morgan. In recognition of the brokerage execution services Morgan may pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker might have charged for the same transaction. Morgan periodically evaluates the overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid by the Company. The factors considered in these evaluations include the competitive negotiated rate structure at the time the commission is charged and the effectiveness of the broker's execution. The names and principal occupations of the directors and principal executive officers of Morgan are as follows. All of them may be reached c/o J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10167. Name Position at Morgan* ---- ------------------- Evelyn V. Guernsey President; Director George C.W. Gatch Director Seth P.

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, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the years then ended and the financial highlights for the years then ended. 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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Weiser LLP New York, NY May 24, 2007 1 [LETTERHEAD OF LESLIE SUFRIN AND COMPANY, P.C.] Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Tridan Corp.

We conducted our audit 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. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights, referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tridan Corp. as of April 30,2005, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Leslie Sufrin and Company, P.C.

Notes To Financial Statements Years Ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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, 2007 and 2006. 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. Therefore, no income tax provision is required. Interest income from municipal investments are exempt from Federal and state income taxes. 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 generally accepted accounting principles, 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. 10 Tridan Corp. Notes To Financial Statements Years Ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 times, such amounts on deposit may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 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. 2.

14 Appendix TRIDAN CORP. AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER Organization This charter governs the operations of the audit committee. The committee shall review and reassess the charter at least annually and obtain the approval of the board of directors. The committee shall be appointed by the board of directors and shall comprise at least three directors, each of whom is "independent" of management and the Company. Members of the committee will be considered independent if they do not receive, other than for service on the board of directors, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fees from the Company, are not "interested persons" of the Company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, and comply with the definition of independence in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD listing standards. All committee members shall be financially literate, and at least one member shall be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by SEC regulations. Statement of Policy The audit committee shall provide assistance to the board of directors in fulfilling their oversight responsibility to the shareholders, potential shareholders, the investment community, and others relating to the Company's financial statements and the financial reporting process, the systems of disclosure controls and procedures and internal accounting and financial controls, the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements, and compliance with regulatory requirements and with ethics programs as established by management and the board. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the committee to maintain free and open communication between the committee, independent auditors, the internal auditors and management of the Company. In discharging its oversight role, the committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities, and personnel of the Company and the power to retain outside counsel, or other experts for this purpose. Responsibilities and Processes The primary responsibility of the audit committee is to oversee the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the board and report the results of their activities to the board. While the audit committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this charter, it is not the duty of the audit committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The committee in carrying out its responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances. The committee should take the appropriate actions to set the overall corporate "tone" for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices, and ethical behavior. App 1 The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the audit committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the committee may supplement them as appropriate and consistent with SEC rules and regulations. o The committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the board and the audit committee, as representatives of the Company's shareholders. The committee shall have the ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditors. The committee shall discuss with the auditors their independence from management and the Company and the matters included in the written disclosures required by generally accepted auditing standards and by applicable SEC rules and regulations. Annually, the committee shall review and recommend to the board the selection of the company's independent auditors, subject to shareholders' approval. o The committee shall discuss with the Company's administrator and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, and any other services to be performed by them, including the adequacy of staffing and compensation, all of which services shall be subject to the committee's approval. Also, the committee shall discuss with them the auditors' report on the adequacy and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The committee shall also review with the auditors the Company's system to monitor and manage business risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs. o The committee shall review the interim financial statements with management and the independent auditors prior to their issuance. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of their review and any other matters required to be communicated to them by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards. The chair of the committee may represent the entire committee for the purposes of this review. o The committee shall review with management and the independent auditors the financial statements to be included in the Company's annual report to shareholders, including their judgment about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. The committee shall recommend to the board whether the audited statements shall be issued to the shareholders and filed with the SEC. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of the annual audit and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations.
