To Our Value Line U.S. Government

To Our Shareholders (unaudited):

Enclosed is your annual report for the one year period ended August 31, 2011. I encourage you to carefully review this report, which includes economic observations, your Fund’s performance data and highlights, schedule of investments, and financial statements.

Interest rates were volatile and bond prices fluctuated over the course of the year. For the eight months ended April 30, 2011 interest rates rose as the 10-year U.S. Treasury note increased 127 basis points from 2.47% to 3.74%. For the subsequent four months ended August 31, 2011, the 10-year note fell 152 basis points from 3.74% to 2.22%. Short-term maturities exhibited similar interest rate volatility.

Strengthening economic growth and modestly increasing inflation accounted for the rise in interest rates from August 2010 to April 2011. However, this was not sustained as growth declined to a meager 1.2% in the second quarter of 2011, causing interest rates to decline. In addition, the debt and banking crisis within the European Union, particularly worries over Greece’s ability to fund its debt, pushed bond yields down further and ignited a flight to safety into U.S. Treasuries and U.S. agencies.

For the period, your Fund gained 3.65%. This was better than the average return of its peers but the Fund trailed its benchmark, Barclays Capital 50% U.S. Government Bond Index/50% Mortgage Backed Securities Index, which gained 4.51%.(1) As interest rates began to decline in May the Fund’s risk profile was moderately lower than its benchmark and caused the Fund to lag the benchmark.

The Fund was underweighted in the 15-30 year maturity sector. By summer the Fund increased its weighting in this sector.

Going forward we expect to maintain our current risk parameters as interest rates are anticipated to remain low. The problems of a subpar economy, poor labor market, and Europe’s bank and debt crisis will not be solved overnight. Keeping interest rates low is one of the necessary conditions essential in working out of the current economic and financial malaise.

We will continue to maintain our strategy of investing the Fund’s assets in a well-diversified highly rated portfolio of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. government agencies and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies. Additionally, by limiting the average maturity to no more than ten years, we provide a counterweight against gyrating interest rates.

Thank you for your confidence in the Fund and we appreciate your continued support.

	Sincerely,

	/s/ Mitchell Appel
	Mitchell Appel, President

	/s/ Jeff Geffen
	Jeff Geffen, Senior Portfolio Manager

Economic Highlights (unaudited)

The first half of 2011 saw the broad U.S. stock market rising on the heels of strengthening corporate profits. The S&P 500 returned 6% for the first six months of the year despite significant global economic concerns. Several members of the European Union continued to face a serious debt crisis including Greece, Portugal, Ireland, and Spain. Further, the nuclear disaster in Japan and the geopolitical upheaval in commodity markets added to investor concerns. At home, disappointing job growth in the United States kept the national unemployment rate firmly above 9% for the second quarter.

By mid-year there was mounting evidence that the U.S. recovery had slowed to a crawl. Consumer spending, which accounts for roughly 70% of economic activity, declined in June for the first time in 2 years. First quarter GDP was up by only 0.4%, and second quarter GDP growth was only modestly better at 1.3%. Employment growth in July lagged June numbers, and it was reported that the level of new factory orders decreased. By August, only 58% of the population was working, the lowest level in nearly 3 decades. Housing prices remained almost uniformly weak.

Much of the summer was consumed by the drama of the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, resulting in an 11th hour deal that appears to satisfy few constituents. It surely did not satisfy Standard & Poors who felt that the $2.1 trillion deficit reduction over 10 years was insufficient to solve the country’s debt problem. The rating agency proceeded to downgrade U.S. Treasury debt from AAA to AA+. This downgrade did not affect short-term Treasuries. Within a few days the rating agency imposed the same rating cut on the long-term debt of several U.S. Agencies including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The other major rating agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, maintained AAA ratings for U.S. Treasury debt as well as for the U.S. Agencies. Investor confidence plunged on the heels of the debt ceiling debacle and the U.S. Treasury debt downgrade. Returns for the S&P 500 turned negative in August giving up its returns for the year.

The bond market rallied as stocks took a dive. Yields fell and prices rose across fixed income markets as investors looked for safer havens. Despite the rating downgrade, investor demand for Treasuries soared, and by early September, 10-year Treasury note yields had fallen to an all-time low of 1.90%. This downward pressure on Treasury yields came largely from an employment report showing no new jobs being added in August. While modestly better job creation was reported in September, it was not enough to move the unemployment level below 9.1%.

The Value Line U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. is a professionally managed mutual fund, while the Indices are not available for investment and are unmanaged.

10 years ended 8/31/11		4.78	%	$	15,953

*	The Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is representative of securities issued by the U.S. Government. It includes fixed-rate debt securities with maturities between one and ten years. The returns for the Index do not reflect charges, expenses, or taxes, which are deducted from the Fund’s returns and it is not possible to directly invest in this unmanaged Index.

**	The Barclays Capital 50% U.S. Government Bond Index/50% Mortgage Backed Securities Index is representative of 50% of the performance of the total universe of investment-grade fixed income securities issued by the United States government or its agencies and 50% of the performance of investment-grade fixed-rate mortgage-backed pass-through securities of Government National Mortgage Associations (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). The returns for the Index do not reflect charges, expenses or taxes, which are deducted from the Fund’s returns and it is not possible to directly invest in this unmanaged Index.

***	The performance data quoted represent past performance and are no guarantee of future performance. The average annual total returns and growth of an assumed investment of $10,000 include dividends reinvested and capital gains distributions accepted in shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original cost. The performance data and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited):

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

					Expenses
	Beginning		Ending		paid during
	account value		account value		period 3/1/11
	3/1/11		8/31/11		thru 8/31/11*

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,020.82	$	4.44

*	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.87% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period. This expense ratio may differ from the expense ratio shown in the Financial Highlights.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Value Line U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company whose primary investment objective is to obtain maximum income without undue risk to principal. Capital preservation and possible capital appreciation are secondary objectives.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(A) Security Valuation: The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value. With assistance from an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors, portfolio securities are valued at the midpoint between the latest available and representative asked and bid prices on the basis of valuations provided by dealers in such securities. Some of the general factors which may be considered by the dealers in arriving at such valuations include the fundamental analytic data relating to the security and an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Determination of values may involve subjective judgment, as the actual market value of a particular security can be established only by negotiation between the parties in a sales transaction. If a portfolio security is not priced in this manner, the value is determined on the valuation date by reference to valuations obtained from the Service which determines valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. The Service takes into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data in determining valuations. Short-term instruments with maturities of 60 days or less at the date of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other assets and securities for which market valuations are not readily available will be valued at fair value by the Adviser pursuant to policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. At August 31, 2011, there were no securities that had been fair valued.

(B) Fair Value Measurements: The Fund follows fair valuation accounting standards (FASB ASC 820-10) which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

●	Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

●	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

●	Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Value Line U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc.

August 31, 2011

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments in securities as of August 31, 2011:

Investments in Securities:	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets
U.S. Government Agency Obligations	$	0	$	58,544,275	$	0	$	58,544,275
U.S. Treasury Obligations		0		20,577,336		0		20,577,336
Total Investments in Securities	$	0	$	79,121,611	$	0	$	79,121,611

The Fund follows the updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures on transfers in and out of all levels of the fair value hierarchy on a gross basis and the reasons for the transfers as well as to disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

For the year ended August 31, 2011, there was no significant transfer activity between Level 1 and Level 2.

For the year ended August 31, 2011, there were no Level 3 investments. The Schedule of Investments includes a breakdown of the Schedule’s investments by category.

(C) Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, the Fund’s custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, it is the Fund’s policy to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. There were no open repurchase agreements at August 31, 2011.

(D) Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years ended August 31, 2008 through August 31, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal or state income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

(E) Security Transactions and Related Income: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are determined using the identified cost method. Interest income, adjusted for the amortization of discount and premium, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-related securities are recorded as interest income.

The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS). The principal value and interest payout of TIPS are periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation based on the Consumer Price Index. The adjustments for principal and income due to inflation are reflected in interest income in the Statement of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements

(F) Representations and Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

(G) Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated all subsequent transactions and events through the date on which these financial statements were issued, and except as already included in the notes to these financial statements, has determined that no additional items require disclosure.

2. Investment Risks

Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veteran Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

5. Income Taxes

At August 31, 2011, information on the tax components of capital is as follows:

Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	74,477,755
Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	4,688,709
Gross tax unrealized depreciation	$	(44,853	)
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments	$	4,643,856
Undistributed ordinary income	$	700,281
Undistributed long-term gain	$	642,755

Permanent book-tax differences relating to the classification of income in the current year were reclassified within the composition of the net asset accounts. The Fund increased undistributed net investment income by $162,415 and decreased accumulated net realized gain on investments by $162,415. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification. These reclasses were primarily due to differing treatments of bond premiums and paydown gains and losses for tax purposes.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”) was signed by the President. Under the Act, net capital losses recognized by the Portfolio after December 31, 2010, may get carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long term losses. Prior to this Act, pre-enactment net capital losses incurred by the Fund were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. The Act requires under the transition that post-enactment net capital losses are used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

The tax composition of dividends paid during the years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 is as follows:

	August 31,			August 31,
	2011			2010
Ordinary income		$	2,417,815		$	2,645,698
Long-term capital gain			1,018,526			538,691
		$	3,436,341		$	3,184,389

6. Investment Advisory Fees, Service and Distribution Fees and Transactions With Affiliates

An advisory fee of $415,514 was paid or payable to EULAV Asset Management (the “Adviser”) for the year ended August 31, 2011. This was computed at the rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the year and paid monthly. The Adviser provides research, investment programs, supervision of the investment portfolio and pays costs of administrative services, office space, equipment and compensation of administrative, bookkeeping, and clerical personnel necessary for managing the affairs of the Fund. The Adviser also provides persons, satisfactory to the Fund’s Board of Directors, to act as officers and employees of the Fund and pays their salaries.

The Fund has a Service and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which compensates EULAV Securities LLC (the “Distributor”) for advertising, marketing and distributing the Fund’s shares and for servicing the Fund’s shareholders at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Fees amounting to $207,757, before fee waivers, were accrued under the Plan for the year ended August 31, 2011. Effective January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2012, the Distributor contractually agreed to waive the 12b-1 fee. For the year ended August 31, 2011, all 12b-1 fees were waived. The Distributor has no right to recoup previously waived amounts. There is no assurance that the Distributor will extend the fee waiver beyond such date.

For the year ended August 31, 2011, the Fund’s expenses were reduced by $349 under a custody credit arrangement with the custodian.

Direct expenses of the Fund are charged to the Fund while common expenses of the Value Line Funds are allocated proportionately based upon the Funds’ respective net assets. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

Certain officers and a Trustee of the Adviser are also officers and a director of the Fund. At August 31, 2011, the officers and Director as a group owned 467 shares, representing less than 1% of the outstanding shares.
