A VIE is a legal entity in which either (i) equity investors do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to enable the entity to finance its activities independently or (ii) the equity holders at risk lack the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns or the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities that most significantly affect the entity’s
economic performance.  A holder of a variable interest in a VIE is required to consolidate the entity if it is determined that it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and is therefore the primary beneficiary.  The determination of a controlling financial interest in a VIE is based on a qualitative assessment to identify the variable interest holder, if any, that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) either the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  The accounting guidance requires the Company to perform an ongoing assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE (see Note 5).</font></font></div>

The Company reports the amount it receives for its non-voting revenues and non-voting profits interests as a separate line item below operating income in the Consolidated  Statements of Income.</font></font></div>

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.</font></div>

In addition, the Company incurred expenses of $3,764,000 associated with the Restructuring Transaction.  The value of VLI’s investment in EAM at April 30, 2012 and April 30, 2011 reflects the fair value, at the Restructuring Date, of the non-voting revenues interest and non-voting profits interest received in the Restructuring Transaction, plus $5,820,000 of cash and liquid securities in excess of working capital requirements contributed to EAM’s capital account by VLI on the Restructuring Date, plus VLI’s share of non-voting revenues and non-voting profits from EAM less distributions, made quarterly to VLI by EAM, during the period from the Restructuring Date through the balance sheets dates.</font></font></div>

Although the distributor had historically received, from the Value Line Funds under the compensation plans it had in place with the Funds, amounts in excess of its actual expenditures, in more recent years the distributor has been spending amounts on promotion of the Value Line Funds in excess of the compensation received from the Funds.  Over time, EAM anticipates that its total future expenditures on such promotion will equal or exceed its total future revenues under the Funds’ distribution plans.  However, if that should not occur, EAM has no obligation to reimburse the Value Line Funds.</font></font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;">As discussed in Note 15 - Legal Proceedings and Restructuring, as part of the Restructuring Transaction, the Company retained a  non-voting revenues interest and a 50% non-voting profits interest in EAM, which was formed to carry on the asset management and mutual fund distribution businesses formerly conducted by the Company. EAM is considered to be a VIE. The Company makes its determination for consolidation of EAM as a VIE based on a qualitative assessment of the purpose and design of EAM, the terms and characteristics of the variable interests in EAM, and the risks EAM is designed to originate and pass through to holders of variable interests.  Other than EAM, the Company does not have an interest in any other VIEs.</font></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;">The Company has determined that it does not have a controlling financial interest in EAM because it does not have the power to direct the activities of EAM that most significantly impact its economic performance. Value Line does not hold any voting stock of EAM and it does not have any involvement in the day-to-day activities or operations of EAM. Although the EAM Trust Agreement provides Value Line with certain consent rights and contains certain restrictive covenants related to the activities of EAM, these are considered to be protective rights and therefore Value Line does not maintain control over EAM.</font></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;">In addition, although EAM is expected to be profitable, there is a risk that it could operate at a loss. While all of the profit interest shareholders in EAM are subject to variability based on EAM’s operations risk, Value Line’s non-voting revenues interest in EAM is a preferred interest in the revenues of EAM, rather than a profits interest in EAM, and Value Line accordingly believes it is subject to proportionately less risk than other holders of the profits interests.</font></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div>
<div align="justify" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;">The Company has not provided any explicit or implicit financial or other support to EAM other than what was contractually agreed to in the EAM Trust Agreement. Value Line has no obligation to fund EAM in the future and, as a result, has no exposure to loss beyond its initial investment and any undistributed revenues and profits interests retained in EAM. The following table presents the total assets of EAM, the maximum exposure to loss due to involvement with EAM, as well as the value of the assets and liabilities the Company has recorded for its interest in EAM.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;">Prior to December 23, 2010, (the Restructuring Transaction date), the Company operated two reportable business segments: (1) Publishing and (2) Investment Management. The Publishing segment, the Company’s only reportable segment subsequent to the Restructuring Transaction date, produces investment periodicals and related publications (retail and institutional) in both print and electronic form, and includes copyright data fees for the Value Line Proprietary Ranking System information and other proprietary information. The Investment Management segment provided advisory services to the Value Line Funds, as well as institutional and individual accounts. The segments were differentiated by the products and services they offered. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.</font></div>

Such costs are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the asset which is approximately from 3 to 5 years. Amortization expense for the years ended April 30, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $446,000, $332,000, and $426,000, respectively.  During fiscal year 2010, the Company expensed $727,000 of capitalized development costs related to a production software  project that was determined to be no longer viable.</font></div>

This payment was used by the SEC to create a “Fair Fund” pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Fair Fund is being used to reimburse shareholders who owned shares in the affected Value Line Funds in the period covered by the Settlement.  The Company is required to bear all costs associated with the Fair Fund distribution, including compensating a third party consultant appointed by the SEC to administer the Fair Fund distribution.  The SEC has appointed A.B. Data, Ltd., which has no affiliation with the Company, as the Administrator of the Fair Fund.  During fiscal 2011, the Company reduced its estimate of the costs of administration of the Fair Fund and other costs associated with the Settlement from $4,400,000 to $2,633,000.</font></div>

Each of the five individuals holding voting profits interests in EAM, none of whom is under the control of the Company or its direct or indirect majority shareholder, was granted 20% of the voting power in EAM.  As a result, the Company ceased to “control” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) the Adviser or the Distributor, even though the Company continues to have both a non-voting revenues interest and a non-voting profits interest in EAM.</font></div>

The lease included free rental periods as well as scheduled base rent escalations over the term of the lease. In April 2007, the Company extended the term for 5 additional years at a market rental rate to May 2013. The total amount of the base rent payments is being charged to expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The Company recorded a deferred charge on its Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the excess of annual rental expense over cash payments since inception of the lease. Future minimum payments, exclusive of forecasted increases in real estate taxes and wage escalations, under operating leases for equipment and office space, with remaining terms of one year or more, are as follows:</font></div>

During fiscal 2012, office space rental decreased as a result of the classification of a portion of the lease payments as a reduction of the accrued lease exit obligation related to EAM’s relocation in fiscal 2011. The increase in fiscal 2011 rent expenses was a result of an accrual of $914,000 for operating lease exit costs related to the deconsolidation of EAM from the operating facility of the Company.</font></div>
