Value Line, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Note ~~1-Organization~~1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The interim consolidated condensed financial statements of Value Line, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”or "VLI"), are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals except as noted below) considered necessary for a fair presentation. This report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, dated July 15, 2010 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010. Results of operations covered by this report may not be indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

~~Value Line, Inc.,~~VLI is incorporated in the State of New York. The Company's primary businesses are producing investment related periodical publications and making available copyright data including certain Value Line trademarks and Value Line proprietary ranking system information to third parties under written agreements for use in third party managed and marketed investment products, providing investment management services to the Value Line Mutual Funds ("Value Line Funds"), institutions and individual accounts and providing distribution, marketing, and administrative services to the Value Line Funds. The name "Value Line" as used to describe the Company, its products, and its subsidiaries, is a registered trademark of the Company.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Standards Codification:

During fiscal year 2010, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB's) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The FASB's ASC is the source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards for nongovernmental entities, in addition to guidance issued by the SEC. The FASB's ASC reorganizes the thousands of U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays all topics using a consistent structure. Although not the official source, it also includes relevant portions of authoritative SEC guidance that follows the same topical structure in separate sections in the Codification. The financial statements of the Company have been updated to reflect the relevant references to the FASB's ASC.

Revenue Recognition:

Depending upon the product, subscription fulfillment is available in print, via internet access and CD-ROM. The length of a subscription varies by product and offer received by the subscriber. Generally, subscriptions are available as trial subscriptions, annual subscriptions and/or multi-year subscriptions. Subscription revenues are recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the subscription. Accordingly, the amount of subscription fees to be earned by fulfilling subscriptions after the date of the balance sheet is shown as unearned revenue within current and long-term liabilities.

Copyright data revenues are derived from providing certain Value Line trademarks and Value Line proprietary ranking system information to third parties under written agreements for use in selecting securities for third party marketed products, including unit investment trusts, annuities and exchange traded funds. Value Line earns ~~asset based~~asset-based copyright data fees as specified in the individual agreements. Revenue is recognized monthly over the term of the agreement and will fluctuate as the market value of the underlying portfolio increases or decreases in value.

Investment management fees consist of management fees from the Value Line ~~Mutual~~ Funds, ~~("Value Line Funds"),~~ and from asset management clients. Investment management fees for the mutual funds are earned on a monthly basis as services are performed and the fee is calculated based on average daily net assets of the mutual funds in accordance with each fund's advisory agreement. Investment management fees for the asset management accounts are earned on a monthly basis as services are performed and the fee is calculated on assets in accordance with each of the agreements (see Note 6).

The management fees and average daily net assets for the Value Line Funds are calculated by State Street Bank, which serves as the fund accountant, fund administrator, and custodian of the Value Line Funds.

The Value Line Funds are open-end management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Shareholder transactions for the Value Line Funds are processed each business day by the third party transfer agent of the Funds. Shares can be redeemed without advance notice upon request of the shareowners each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Assets within the separately managed accounts are held at third party custodians ~~are~~and subject to the terms of each advisory agreement and do not have any advance notice requirement for withdrawals, although they generally have a 30 day advance notice requirement for termination of the account.

~~Value Line, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements~~

Service and distribution fees are received from the Value Line Funds in accordance with service and distribution plans under rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plans are compensation plans, which means that the distributor’s fees under the plans are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred by the distributor, and therefore the distributor may earn a profit under the plan. Expenses incurred by EULAV Securities, Inc. ("ESI") , the distributor of the Value Line Funds, include payments to securities dealers, banks, financial institutions and other organizations (including an allocation of VLI expenses), that provide distribution, marketing, and administrative services with respect to the distribution of the Value Line Funds. Service and distribution fees are received on a monthly basis and calculated on the average daily net assets of the respective mutual fund in accordance with each fund prospectus (see Note 6).

Value Line, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Valuation of Securities:

The Company's securities classified as available-for-sale and cash equivalents consist of shares of ~~the Value Line~~U.S. Government Money Market Funds, investments in exchange traded equity funds, and government debt securities accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB's ASC. The securities available-for-sale ~~and trading securities~~ reflected in the consolidated condensed financial statements are valued at market and unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale, net of applicable taxes, are reported as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity. ~~Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in the Statement of Income.~~ Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded in earnings on trade date and are determined on the identified cost method. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2010 and April 30, 2010 the Company ~~doesn't~~did not own any trading securities.

The Company classifies its securities available-for-sale as current assets. It does so to properly reflect its liquidity and to recognize the fact that it has assets available-for-sale to fully satisfy its current liabilities should the need arise.

Market valuation of securities listed on a securities exchange is based on the closing sales prices on the last business day of each month. Valuation of ~~open-end mutual fund~~exchange traded funds shares is based upon the publicly quoted ~~net asset value~~price of the shares. The market value of the Company's fixed maturity government debt obligations are determined utilizing publicly quoted market prices or other observable inputs.

Cash equivalents consist of investments in the U.S. Government Money Market Funds and are valued at $1 per share in accordance with rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Company adopted the Fair Value Measurements Topic of FASB's ASC that defines fair value as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The Fair Value Measurements Topic established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the information that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Examples of risks include those inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs are classified as observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The valuation techniques used by the Company to measure fair value during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010 for Level 1 securities consisted exclusively of quoted prices.

The securities valued as Level 2 investments consist primarily of ~~municipal bonds (that are pre-refunded by~~ U.S. Treasury ~~securities)~~Bills and ~~other~~Notes, FDIC insured commercial paper and U.S. ~~Treasury securities.~~Government Agency Bonds. Valuation techniques used by the Company to measure fair value for government securities during the period consisted primarily of third party pricing services that utilized actual market data such as trades of comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs. When necessary, the third party services may use discounted future cash flows to calculate the net present value.

Note ~~6-Related~~6 - Related Party Transactions:

The Company's subsidiary, EULAV Asset Management, LLC ("EULAV") is the investment adviser and manager for the Value Line Funds. EULAV earns investment management fees based upon the average daily net asset values of the respective Value Line Funds. As discussed in Note 1, service and distribution fees are received by ESI from the Value Line Funds in accordance with service and distribution plans under rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plans are compensation plans, which means that the distributor’s fees under the plans are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred by the distributor, and therefore the distributor may earn a profit under the plans. Expenses incurred by ESI include payments to securities dealers, banks, financial institutions and other organizations which provide distribution, marketing, and administrative services (including payments by ESI to VLI for allocated compensation and administration expenses) with respect to the distribution of the funds’ shares. Service and distribution fees are received on a monthly basis and calculated on the daily net assets of the respective fund in accordance with each fund's prospectus.

On March 11, 2010, VLI and the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the Value Line Funds entered into an agreement ~~pursuant~~providing for VLI to ~~which VLI will~~ reimburse the Funds in the aggregate amount of $917,302 for various past expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the SEC matter referred to in Note 9.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010 and 2009, total management fee waivers were ~~$190,000~~$378,000 and ~~$198,000,~~$440,000, respectively, and service and distribution fee waivers were ~~$620,000~~$1,233,000 and ~~$668,000,~~$1,355,000, respectively. The Company and its subsidiary, ESI, have no right to recoup the previously waived amounts of management fees and 12b-1 fees, except for waived management fees for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. Any recoupment is subject to the provisions of the prospectus.

As of ~~July~~October 31, 2010, the Company had ~~$13,774,000~~$7,704,000 invested in the Value Line U.S. Government Money Market Fund representing ~~11%~~7% of that fund's total net assets. Purchases and redemptions routinely occur in the Value Line U.S. Government Money Market Fund as part of the business operations of the Company.

At ~~July~~October 31, 2010 and April 30, 2010, the Receivables from affiliates included a receivable from its majority shareholder, Arnold Bernhard & Co., Inc. ("the ~~Parent~~Parent"), of ~~$24,000~~$1,000 and $5,000, respectively.

From time to time, the Parent has purchased additional shares of the Company in the market when and as the Parent has determined it to be appropriate. As stated several times in the past, the public is reminded that the Parent may make additional purchases from time to time in the future. The Parent owns approximately 86.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

Note ~~7-Federal,~~7 - Federal, State and Local Income Taxes:

The Company computes its income tax provision in accordance with the requirements of the Income Tax Topic of the FASB's ASC.

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. The tax effect of temporary differences giving rise to the Company's deferred tax assets is primarily the result of the tax benefit from its net operating loss for which the Company expects to be fully utilized inby the first quarter of fiscal year ending April 30, ~~2011.~~

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates the effective income tax rate to apply for the full year. The Company uses the effective income tax rate determined to provide for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and reflect the tax effect of any tax law changes and certain other discrete events in the period in which they occur.

The overall effective income tax rate, as a percentage of pre-tax ordinary income, for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010 and 2009 was ~~35.33%~~37.24% and ~~25.81%~~25.11%, respectively. The fluctuation in the effective income tax rate is attributable to the non-deductible portion of the provision for settlement included in fiscal 2010 and the change in the non-taxable investment income, events that do not have tax consequences.

The annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 could change due to a number of factors including but not limited to an increase or decrease in the ratio of income or loss to pre-tax items that do not have tax consequences, ~~our~~the Company's geographic profit mix between tax jurisdictions, new tax laws, new interpretations of existing tax law and rulings by and settlements with tax authorities. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010, there were no new material uncertain tax positions.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to pretax income as a result of the following:

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of the Parent. The Company has a tax sharing agreement which requires it to make tax payments to the Parent equal to the Company's liability as if it filed a separate return.

The Company's federal income tax returns (included in the Parent's consolidated returns) and state and city tax returns for fiscal years ended April 30, 2007, 2008, and 2009 are subject to examination by the tax authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. The IRS and NYNYS tax authorities ~~are presently conducting~~have recently concluded an examination for the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2008. The ~~Company does not expect these~~ examinations tohave resulted in no changes by the IRS and didn't have any material ~~adverse~~ effect on ~~its~~the Company's financial statements. NYS has concluded its audits for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2006, 2007, and 2008 with no material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company received a refund from NYS in the amount of $264,546 for the years under audit.

Note ~~8-Business~~8 - Business Segments:

The Company operates two reportable business segments: (1) Investment Periodicals, Publishing & Copyright Data and (2) Investment Management. The Investment Periodicals, Publishing & Copyright Data segment produces investment related periodical publications (retail and institutional) in both print and electronic form, and includes copyright data fees for Value Line proprietary ranking system information and other proprietary information. The Investment Management segment provides advisory services to the Value Line Funds, as well as institutional and individual accounts.

Note 9 - Legal Proceedings & Restructuring:

In connection with the Settlement with the SEC discussed in Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, the Company recorded a provision for settlement of $47,706,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, of which $43,706,000 was paid to the SEC in November 2009 representing disgorgement of commissions received in the amount of $24,168,979, prejudgment interest of $9,536,786, and a civil penalty in the amount of $10,000,000. Pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a fund will be created for the Company’s disgorgement, interest and penalty (“Fair Fund”). The Company will bear costs associated with any Fair Fund distribution, including a third party consultant appointed by the SEC to administer any Fair Fund distribution. The Company's Board of Directors has determined that a restructuring of the asset management business as more fully described below is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and will fulfill the settlement order that requires the majority shareholder to disassociate from EULAV and ESI. By the SEC order dated November 2, 2010, the period of time to comply with the complete disassociation has been extended from November 4, 2010 to December 24, 2010. The Company cannot estimate the impact to its business or financial condition or results of operations if the remaining terms of the settlement order can not be met in a timely manner.

On July 20, 2010 the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a transaction involving its wholly owned subsidiaries EULAV, the investment adviser to the Value Line Funds and certain separate accounts, and ESI, the distributor of the Value Line Funds. When the transaction is completed, the Company will contribute all of the outstanding stock of ESI to EULAV, EULAV will be converted to a Delaware statutory trust named EULAV Asset Management (“EAM”), the Company will restructure its ownership of EAM so that it has no voting authority with respect to the election or removal of the trustees of EAM and retains only interests in the revenues and residual profits of EAM and EAM will grant the remaining residual profits interests to five individuals selected by the independent directors of the Company.

Upon completion of the transaction, the business and affairs of EAM will be managed by five individuals and a non-voting Delaware resident who are trustees (collectively the “Trustees”) and by its officers to the extent authorized by the Trustees. The Trustees will be elected by the five shareholders, each of which will own voting profits interests in EAM having a 20% vote in the election of Trustees. Value Line will hold non-voting interests that entitle Value Line to receive a range of 41% to 55% of EAM’s revenues (excluding [rule 12b-1] distribution revenues) from EAM’s mutual fund and separate account business. In addition, Value Line will receive 50% of the residual profits of EAM (subject to temporary increase in certain limited circumstances). The Voting Profits Interests shareholders will receive the other 50% of residual profits of EAM (subject to temporary decrease in certain limited circumstances). EAM will elect to be taxed as a pass-through entity similar to a partnership. In a disposition by EAM of its business, the first $56.1 million of net proceeds (subject to upward adjustment in certain circumstances) would be distributed in accordance with capital accounts. The next $56.1 million would be distributed 80% to the Holders of the Non-Voting Profits Interests (initially the Company) and 20% to the Holders of the Voting-Profits Interests. Any net proceeds in excess of those levels would be distributed 55% to the Holders of the Non-Voting Profits Interests and 45% to the Holders of the Voting-Profits Interests.

The transaction is subject to approval of new investment advisory agreements with the Value Line Funds by the shareholders of the Value Line Funds which agreements were approved on or prior to November 24, 2010 and will not differ in substance from the current investment advisory agreements and to entry into the Trust Agreement. EAM will be authorized to use the Value Line name for the existing 14 funds so long as EAM continues to be the investment adviser to such Fund and such Fund does not alter its investment objectives or fundamental policies as they exist on the date the trust Agreement is signed to use leverage for investment purposes, short selling or other complex or unusual investment strategies to create a risk profile similar to that of so-called hedge funds.

Mitchell Appel, president of ESI and EULAV as well as of each of the Value Line Funds, and formerly Chief Financial Officer and a director of Value Line, will be one of the Voting Profits Interests shareholders and the first Chief Executive Officer of EAM. He has resigned his positions with Value Line on December 9, 2010.

In the course of considering and approving the restructuring described above, the Board of Directors of the Company including its independent directors worked closely with independent financial advisors and legal counsel selected by the independent directors. The Board reviewed a range of options in relation to the requirement that the majority shareholder disassociate from the Company’s regulated asset management business by November 4, 2010, including sale of the asset management business, spin-off of the asset management business and transfer of such business to a blind trust. The SEC granted an extension to complete the full disassociation from November 4, 2010 deadline to December 24, 2010. In order to assist the Board in its considerations, the Board’s financial advisors solicited interest from 29 organizations, received indications of interest from 9 organizations, and received preliminary proposals from 4 organizations. In the Board’s judgment none of the proposals had likely economic value to the Company equivalent to the likely economic value of the restructuring proposal chosen. The Board also concluded that a spin-off to shareholders, with the Company receiving only non-voting securities, would produce inferior economic value to the Company and its shareholders due to the high costs of operating the small public company that would result from the spin-off. Further, acquisition by any person of more than 25% of the voting shares of the spun off asset management company could in certain circumstances trigger a change in control requiring costly new Mutual Fund board and shareholder approvals. The Board was also concerned about a transfer to a blind trust because among other reasons, each change in trustee would also require costly new approvals by the Board of the Value Line Mutual Funds and the fund shareholders.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

The proposed restructuring and its terms were approved by the Board (with Messrs. Appel and Sarkany abstaining), as being in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The new Investment Advisory Agreements with the Value Line Funds that are necessary for the restructuring transaction to proceed were approved by the Board of Trustees/Directors of the Value Line Funds.

In order to assist the Board in its considerations, the Board’s financial advisors solicited interest from 29 organizations, received indications of interest from 9 organizations, and received preliminary proposals from 4 organizations. In the Board’s judgment none of the proposals had likely economic value to the Company equivalent to the likely economic value of the restructuring proposal chosen. The Board also concluded that a spin-off to shareholders, with the Company receiving only non-voting securities, would produce inferior economic value to the Company and its shareholders due to the high costs of operating the small public company that would result from the spin-off. Further, acquisition by any person of more than 25% of the voting shares of the spun off asset management company could in certain circumstances trigger a change in control requiring costly new Mutual Fund board and shareholder approvals. The Board was also concerned about a transfer to a blind trust because among other reasons, each change in trustee would also require costly new approvals by the Board of the Value Line Mutual Funds and the fund shareholders.

Expenses associated with the Company's restructuring of its investment advisory and mutual funds distribution operations of $2.5 million have been included in General and Administration expenses during the six months ended October 31, 2010.

On September 3, 2008, VLI was served with a derivative shareholder's suit filed in New York County Supreme Court naming certain current and former directors of the Company and alleging breach of fiduciary duty and related allegations, all arising from the SEC matter. The complaint sought return of remuneration by the Directors and other remedies. A second derivative shareholder's suit was filed in New York County Supreme Court on or about November 9, 2009, naming certain current and former VLI Directors and the Parent as defendants. This suit primarily restates the same or similar allegations and seeks similar remedies as were sought in the earlier derivative shareholder's suit served in September 2008. By order dated January 8, 2010, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion to consolidate the two cases. VLI has advised its insurance carriers of these developments and it is not possible to estimate an amount or range of loss on VLI's financial statements. The defendants responded to the complaint in the consolidated case on August 20, 2010, and the case is proceeding in New York County.

Note 10 - Pro Forma Combined Financial Data:

The Company believes the occurrence of the restructuring transaction as explained more fully in Note 9, is probable. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 and the six-month period ended October 31, 2010 (the "Pro Forma Statements of Income"), and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company as of October 31, 2010 (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet" and, together with the Pro Forma Statements of Income, the "Pro Forma Financial Statements"), have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the contribution of all of the outstanding stock of EULAV Securities, Inc. to EULAV Asset Management, LLC and the conversion of EULAV Asset Management, LLC to a Delaware statutory trust named EULAV Asset Management (EAM). The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect any anticipated cost savings and there can be no assurance that any such cost savings will occur. The Pro Forma Combined Income Statements give pro forma effect to the EAM transaction as if it had occurred on May 1, 2009. The Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet gives pro forma effect to the EAM transaction as if it had occurred on October 31, 2010. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial position of the Company that would have actually been obtained had such transactions been completed as of the assumed dates and for the periods presented, or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements of Value Line, Inc. and the notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

~~Value Line, Inc.~~

~~Notes~~A preliminary allocation of the assigned purchase price has been made to ~~Consolidated Condensed~~major categories of assets and liabilities in the accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements based on available information. The actual allocation of purchase price and the resulting effect on the Statements of Income may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. These pro forma adjustments represent the Company's preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. Consequently, the amounts reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are subject to change, and the final amounts may differ substantially.

The proposed restructuring and its terms were approved by the Board (with Messrs. Appel and Sarkany abstaining), as being in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The new Investment Advisory Agreements with the Value Line mutual funds that are necessary for the restructuring transaction to proceed were approved by the directors of the mutual funds.

On September 3, 2008, VLI was served with a derivative shareholder's suit filed in New York County Supreme Court naming certain current and former directors of the Company and alleging breach of fiduciary duty and related allegations, all arising from the SEC matter. The complaint sought return of remuneration by the Directors and other remedies. A second derivative shareholder's suit was filed in New York County Supreme Court on or about November 9, 2009, naming certain current and former VLI Directors and the Parent as defendants. This suit primarily restates the same or similar allegations and seeks similar remedies as were sought in the earlier derivative shareholder's suit served in September 2008. By order dated January 8, 2010, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion to consolidate the two cases. VLI has advised its insurance carriers of these developments and it is not possible to estimate an amount or range of loss on VLI's financial statements. The defendants responded to the complaint in the consolidated case on August 20, 2010, and the case is proceeding in New York County.

Notes to Pro Forma Balance Sheet at October 31, 2010

The Pro Forma adjustments to the Historical Balance Sheet reflect the adjustments to record the assets and liablities of the subsidiaries, EULAV and ESI, transferred in the transaction to EAM in exchange for a non-voting revenues and profits interest valued at $56.1 million as determined by the Board of Directors of Value Line, Inc. based on a range provided by an independent valuation firm.

As a result of the transfer of the outstanding stock of EULAV and ESI to EAM, the current assets, long term assets and current liabilities of Value Line, Inc. will decrease by $7,062,000, $149,000 and $1,068,000, respectively.

In the exchange, Value Line, Inc. will receive the non-voting revenues and profits interest valued at $56.1 million resulting in a non-recurring pre-tax gain of $46,495,000. As a result of this non-recurring gain, the Company's current deferred income tax assets, long term deferred income tax assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilites, and long term deferred income tax liability will increase by $244,000, $146,000, $1,000,000 and $19,444,000, respectively. Current deferred tax assets already reflect $958,000 of tax benefits related to $2,462,000 of divestiture related expenses included in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income/(Loss) as of October 31, 2010. The $29,903,000 Pro Forma Adjustment to retained earnings in the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of October31, 2010 represents the after tax gain exclusive of transaction expenses of $2,462,000, net of taxes of$958,000 that have already been reflected in Retained Earnings.

Business Environment

During the ~~Company’s first quarter~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010, the global financial markets continued to improve from the March 2009 market lows. The NASDAQ and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 39.1% and 38.6% respectively from the end of September 2008 to March 9, 2009. From that point to ~~July~~October 31, 2010, those indices have rallied nearly ~~78%~~98% and ~~60%~~70%, respectively, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average 2% higher and the NASDAQ reaching over 20% above the September 2008 levels, respectively. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010, the NASDAQ and Dow Jones Industrial Average were ~~down 8%~~up 2% and 5%1%, respectively. Value Line top ranked stocks (Timeliness Rank 1 and 2) gained ~~9.3%~~3.2% in the six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010 versus ~~2.6%~~-1.5% for the S&P 500 Index. Nevertheless, the severe downturn and volatility in the financial markets throughout the prior fiscal year continue to negatively impact the Company’s revenues, and assets under management ~~and~~primarily in the ~~assets attributable to third party copyright data partners~~Company’s equity mutual funds as compared to the ~~three~~six months of the previous fiscal year. ~~Although we have not suffered a fundamental change in our business model, the business environment remains challenging for nearly all publishers.~~ In response, ~~we continue~~the Company continues to be diligent both in ~~our~~its operational and marketing execution and in ~~controlling~~managing expenses.

Investment periodicals and related publications revenues were down ~~$704,000~~$589,000 or 8%6% and $1,293,000 or 7% for the three months and six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to the prior fiscal year. While the Company continues to attract new subscribers through various marketing channels, primarily direct mail and the Internet, total product line circulation remains weaker than in past years. Factors that have contributed to the decline in the investment periodicals and related publications revenues include competition in the form of free or low cost investment research on the Internet and research provided by brokerage firms at no direct cost to their clients. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2010, total company-wide circulation has declined 9%5% compared to the previous fiscal year. Overall renewal rates for the flagship product, The Value Line Investment Survey, are ~~70%~~75%, ~~the same as~~up from 71% a year earlier, although the Company is not adding enough new subscribers to offset the subscribers that choose not to renew to the flagship product and other Value Line products. The Company has been successful in growing electronic investment periodicals within institutional sales, with earned revenues increasing ~~$130,000~~$180,000 or 7%10% and $310,000 or 8% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2010, respectively, from the previous year. ~~Fiscal year gross~~Gross institutional sales ~~through July~~for the three months ended October 31, 2010 were ~~$2,201,000,~~$2,393,000, an increase of $379,000 or 19% and $4,594,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2010, up ~~$202,000~~$581,000 or ~~10%~~15% from the previous fiscal year. This continues to be a positive growth trend, but not sufficient to wholly offset the lost revenues from retail subscribers.

Within investment periodicals and related publications are subscription revenues derived from print and electronic products. The following chart illustrates the year-to-year change in the revenues associated with print and electronic subscriptions.

Print circulation, which has always dominated ~~our~~the Company’s subscription base, has fallen ~~10% from~~7% as of October 31, 2010 as compared to the last fiscal year.

2010 were down 1% or $29,000 and 2% or $97,000, respectively, as compared to the prior fiscal year. The electronic publication revenues are broken down into institutional accounts and retail subscribers. For

the three months and six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010, institutional revenues increased ~~$130,000~~$180,000 or 7%10% and $310,000 or 8%, respectively, while revenues from retail subscribers were down ~~$198,000~~$209,000 or 16% and $407,000 or 15% as compared to the three and six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2009. The Company has relied more on its institutional sales marketing efforts, and the increase in institutional revenues is a direct result of a focused effort to sell to colleges, libraries and corporate accounts. The decrease in electronic retail publications revenues is primarily attributable to the decrease in circulation within the Company’s software ~~products.~~products, which have not had a major update recently.

The Value Line Timeliness Ranking SystemTM (“the Ranking System”), a component in the Company’s flagship product, The Value Line Investment Survey, is also an important part of the Company’s copyright data business. As stated in recent quarterly filings, the rapid and severe price actions in the markets in 2009 appear to have favored short-term investing, as investors bought well known names whose earnings have plunged and whose stock prices were depressed in hopes the stock prices would rebound. Such stocks are generally not well ranked by Value Line because the Ranking System emphasizes earnings results and price momentum. Accordingly, while the Company recommended “Rank 1” and “Rank 2” stocks did well, low-rated “Rank 5” stocks did better. The Ranking System is designed to be predictive over a six to twelve month period. Nevertheless the top ranked stocks performed very well against the S&P 500 Index. During the twelve months, six months and fiscal quarter ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010, the combined Value Line Timeliness Rank 1 & 2 stock performance of ~~9.3%~~28.1%, 3.2% and ~~-6.1%~~9.9%, allowing for weekly changes in Ranks, compares favorably to the S&P 500 index performance of ~~2.6%~~13.6%, -1.5% and ~~- -7.2%~~5.2%, respectively.

Copyright data fees have increased ~~$10,000~~$37,000 or 1%4% and $47,000 or 3% for the three months and six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010 as compared to the ~~three months ended July 31, 2009.~~prior fiscal year. As of ~~July~~October 31, 2010, total third party sponsored assets were attributable to ~~three~~four contracts for copyright data and represent ~~$2.4~~$2.8 billion in various products as compared to four contracts and ~~$2.3~~$2.4 billion in assets last fiscal year, representing a 4%19% increase in assets year over year. The combination of the underperformance by the Ranking System and the broad and deep declines in the equity markets from late 2008 and early 2009 significantly impacted assets of the third party sponsors that are customers of ~~our~~the Company’s copyright data business. The Company believes the growth of this part of the business is dependent upon the desire of third parties to use the Value Line trademarks and proprietary research for their products. Today this market is significantly more competitive as a result of product diversification and growth of the use of indices by portfolio managers. Copyright data fees have been a critical component of the Company’s plan to replace shrinking publishing revenues but no new products have been added in fiscal year ~~2011~~2011. One account was added and one ~~account was~~ lost in June 2010.

Investment management fees and distribution services revenues

Overall ~~fund~~ assets in the Value Line Funds at ~~July~~October 31, 2010 decreased ~~$395,000,000~~$309 million since ~~the first quarter end of the previous fiscal year~~October 31, 2009 primarily as a result of net redemptions from the Value Line equity mutual funds and a decline in the USU.S. Government Money Market Fund that resulted primarily from the Company’s payment of approximately $44 million to settle the SEC matter in November 2009 and $30 million for the special $3.00 per share dividend paid to all the Company’s shareholders during April 2010. Total net assets in the Value Line Funds have fallen from $2.3 billion at fiscal 2010 year end to $2.1 billion at ~~July~~October 31, 2010 primarily as a result of ~~the decline in the market and~~ net redemptions in certain Value Line equity mutual funds.

Professional fees of $1.1 million during the second quarter and $2.5 million for the six months ended October 31, 2010 were associated with the restructuring of the Company’s assets management business segment. The Company’s policy is to expense these costs as incurred. Upon completion of the asset management segment restructuring, these costs will be reclassified as a component part of the results of the transaction.

Restructuring of asset management segment

On July 20, 2010 the Board of Directors of Value Line (the “Board”) approved a transaction involving its wholly owned subsidiaries EULAV Asset Management, LLC (“EULAV”), the investment adviser to the Value Line Mutual Funds (the “Value Line Funds”) and certain separate accounts, and EULAV Securities, Inc. (“ESI”), the distributor of the Value Line Funds. If the transaction is completed, Value Line will contribute all of the outstanding stock of ESI to EULAV, EULAV will be converted to a Delaware statutory trust named EULAV Asset Management (“EAM”), Value Line will restructure its ownership of EAM so that it has no voting authority with respect to the election or removal of the trustees of EAM and retains only interests in the revenues and residual profits of EAM and EAM will grant the remaining residual profits interests to five individuals selected by the independent directors of the Company.

Upon completion of the transaction, the business and affairs of EAM will be managed by five individuals and a non-voting Delaware resident who are trustees (collectively the “Trustees”) and by its officers to the extent authorized by the Trustees. The Trustees will be elected by the five ~~shareholders, each~~holders of ~~which will own~~ voting profits interests in EAM, ~~having~~each of which will have a 20% vote in the election of Trustees. Value Line will hold non-voting interests that entitle Value Line to receive a range of 41% to 55% of EAM’s revenues (excluding distribution revenues) from EAM’s mutual fund and separate account business. In addition, Value Line will receive 50% of the residual profits of EAM. The Voting Profits Interests ~~shareholders~~holders will receive the other 50% of residual profits of EAM (subject to temporary decrease in certain limited circumstances). EAM will elect to be taxed as a pass-through entity similar to a partnership. In a disposition by EAM of its business, the first $56.1 million of net proceeds (subject to upward adjustment in certain circumstances) would be distributed in accordance with Capital Accounts. The next $56.1 million would be distributed 80% to the Holders of the Non-Voting Profits Interests (initially the Company) and 20% to the Holders of the Voting-Profits Interests. Any net proceeds amounts in excess of those levels would be distributed 55% to the Holders of the Non-Voting Profits Interests and 45% to the Holders of the Voting-Profits Interests.

The transaction is subject to approval of new investment advisory agreements with the Value Line ~~Mutual~~ Funds by the shareholders of the Value Line ~~Mutual~~ Funds which agreements will not differ in substance from the current investment advisory agreements and to entry into the Trust Agreement. The shareholder approval process was completed as of November 24, 2010. EAM will be authorized to use the Value Line name for the existing 14 funds so long as EAM continues to be the investment adviser to such Fund and such Fund does not alter its investment objectives or fundamental policies as they exist on the date the ~~trust~~Trust Agreement is signed to use leverage for investment purposes, short selling or other complex or unusual investment strategies to create a risk profile similar to that of so-called hedge funds.

Mitchell Appel, president of ESI and EULAV as well as of each of the Value Line Funds, and former Chief Financial Officer and a director of Value Line, will be one of the Voting Profits Interests ~~shareholders~~holders and the first Chief Executive Officer of EAM. He ~~will resign~~has resigned his ~~positions with~~position as Chief Financial Officer and Director of Value Line, ~~upon closing of the transaction.~~Inc., effective December 9, 2010.

The Board reviewed a range of options in relation to the requirement that the majority shareholder disassociate from the Company’s regulated asset management business by November 4, 2010, including sale of the asset management business, spin-off of the asset management business and transfer of such business to a blind trust. The SEC granted an extension to complete full disassociation from the November 4, 2010 deadline to December 24, 2010. In order to assist the Board in its considerations, the Board’s financial advisors solicited interest from 29 organizations, received indications of interest from 9 organizations, and received preliminary proposals from 4 organizations. In the Board’s judgment none of the proposals had likely economic value to the Company equivalent to the likely economic value of the restructuring proposal chosen. The Board also concluded that a spin-off to shareholders, with the Company receiving only non-voting securities, would produce inferior economic value to the Company and its shareholders due to the high costs of operating a small public company. Further, acquisition by any person of more than 25% of the voting shares of the spun off asset management company could in certain circumstances trigger a change in control requiring costly new Mutual Fund board and shareholder approvals. The Board was also concerned about a transfer to a blind trust because among other reasons, each change in trustee would also require costly new approvals by the Board of the Value Line ~~Mutual~~ Funds and the fund shareholders.

The proposed restructuring and its terms were approved by the Board (with Messrs. Appel and Sarkany abstaining), as being in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The new Investment Advisory Agreements with the Value Line ~~mutual funds~~Funds that are necessary for the restructuring transaction to proceed were approved by the directors of the mutual funds, who were not asked to and did not approve the restructuring or its terms.

Investment Periodicals, Publishing & Copyright Data

Segment revenues, operating profit and operating profit margins from the Company’s Investment Periodicals, Publishing & Copyright Data segment declined significantly from the previous fiscal year for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2010 primarily due to the continued deterioration in circulation of the total product line. As previously mentioned, ~~the ranking system performance is sometimes inconsistent and~~ competition in the form of free or low cost investment research on the Internet and research provided by brokerage firms at no cost to their clients contributed to the decline in revenue. The recession and turmoil in the markets have also contributed to the decline in subscriptions as individuals reduced many forms of discretionary spending, or have shifted investments to fixed income, for which the Company only provides research on mutual fund and ETF vehicles. Investment Periodicals, Publishing & Copyright Data segment profit margin from operations decreased as a direct result of the decline in revenue.

Investment Management

Revenues for the three months and six months of fiscal 2011 from the Company’s Investment Management business segment declined from the previous fiscal year primarily due to the decline in investment management fees from the Company’s family of mutual funds that was a direct result of the deterioration in the underlying assets under management and fee waivers. The Company waived management fees of ~~$130,000~~$133,000 and $259,000 during the three months and six months ended October 31, 2010 in the U.S. Government Money Market Fund due to the low interest rate environment which resulted in the fund’s generating insufficient portfolio income to cover its normalized expenses. Segment operating profit and operating profit margin for fiscal 2011 includes $2.5 million of expenses related to the restructuring of the Investment Management segment and are negative for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2009 due to the $47.7 million provision for the SEC Settlement.

Income from Securities Transactions, net

Effective income tax rate

The overall effective income tax rate, as a percentage of pre-tax ordinary income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2010 and ~~July~~October 31, 2009 was ~~35.33%~~37.24% and ~~25.81%~~25.11%, respectively. The fluctuation in the income tax rate is attributable to the non-deductible portion of the provision for the SEC Settlement included in the prior year and the change in the non-taxable investment income, events that do not have tax consequences.

The overall effective income tax rate, as a percentage of pre-tax ordinary income for the three months ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was 40.96% and 33.60%, respectively. The fluctuation in the income tax rate is attributable to the alternative minimum tax on the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward and the change in the non-taxable investment income, events that do not have tax consequences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents include ~~$13,774,000~~$7,704,000 at ~~July~~October 31, 2010 and ~~$52,041,000~~$60,575,000 at ~~July~~October 31, 2009 invested in the Value Line U.S. Government Money Market Fund.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market Risk Disclosures

The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a substantial amount of assets whose fair values are subject to market risks. The Company’s significant market risks are primarily associated with interest rates and equity price ~~risk, although the Company disposed of its entire portfolio of equity securities during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 and held no equity securities during the three months ended July 31, 2010.~~risk. The following sections address the significant market risks associated with the Company’s business activities.

The Company’s strategy has been to acquire debt securities with low credit risk. Despite this strategy management recognizes and accepts the possibility that losses may occur. To limit the price fluctuation in these securities from interest rate changes, the Company’s management invests primarily in short-term obligations maturing in six months to three years.

The fair values of the Company’s fixed maturity investments will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in fair values of those instruments. Additionally, fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected by prepayment options, relative values of alternative investments, and other general market conditions.

The following table summarizes the estimated effects of hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates on assets that are subject to interest rate risk. It is assumed that the changes occur immediately and uniformly to each category of instrument containing interest rate risks. The hypothetical changes in market interest rates do not reflect what could be deemed best or worst case scenarios. Variations in market interest rates could produce significant changes in the timing of repayments due to prepayment options available. For these reasons, actual results might differ from those reflected in the table.

Management regularly monitors the maturity structure of the Company’s investments in debt securities in order to maintain an acceptable price risk associated with changes in interest rates.

The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risks are based on quoted market prices or management’s estimates of fair value as of the balance sheet dates. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold.

Value Line invests from time to time its assets in equity securities. As of October 31, 2010, equity securities consisted primarily of exchange traded funds (ETF’s). Each ETF invests in a variety of positions that may include equity and non-equity positions.

The table below summarizes Value Line’s equity price risks as of October 31, 2010 and shows the effects of a hypothetical 30% increase and a 30% decrease in market prices as of those dates. Value Line had no equity holdings as of April 30, 2010. The selected hypothetical changes do not reflect what could be considered the best or worst case scenarios.

Credit Worthiness of Issuer

The Company’s investments consist primarily of U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes, FDIC insured commercial paper and ~~pre-refunded municipal securities backed by~~ U.S. ~~Treasury Securities.~~Government Agency Bonds.
