An Update from Fund Management (Unaudited)
 
We are pleased to report that the Value Line Centurion Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) earned a total return of 5.02% for the year ending December 31, 2011. That compared with a total return of 2.11% for the benchmark index, the Standard & Poor’s 500. Contributing to the superior performance was good stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples and Industrials sectors. In addition, the Fund avoided the losing stocks in the banking industry.
 
It is gratifying that the Fund has now completed two strong years of performance since its revamping in 2009. At that time, we broadened the Fund’s stock selection universe to encompass the 1,200 or so stocks in the top three Ranks of the Value Line Timeliness Ranking System. This has allowed greater diversification of the portfolio, which reduces exposure to any single economic sector. It has also resulted in decreased turnover of portfolio holdings, which lowers trading expenses. At the same time, we handed the reins to our senior portfolio manager who has demonstrated widely recognized success managing other equity portfolios in our fund family for over twenty years, including Value Line Strategic Asset Management Trust.
 
The Fund’s newly expanded stock selection criteria allow us to implement our disciplined investment strategy to full advantage. We invest in proven winners—those companies that have established five to ten year records of superior relative earnings growth and stock price growth. This is truly a portfolio of growth stocks. We also look for companies demonstrating strong short term, quarter to quarter, relative earnings momentum and stock price momentum. If a holding later falters on these measures, we do not hesitate to replace it with a stock showing superior strength.
 
The Fund invests in companies of all sizes. Its approximately 185 holdings are well-diversified in that respect, comprised of about one third large capitalization companies, one third mid-cap and one third small-cap. In addition, the portfolio is widely diversified across many industries.
 
We will maintain our time-tested investment discipline. Thank you for investing with us.

All performance data quoted is historical and the results represent past performance and neither guarantee nor predict future investment results. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month (available within 7 business days of the most recent month end), please call us at (800) 221-3253 or visit our website at www.guardianinvestor.com. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted here. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
 
Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The actual total returns for owners of variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies that provide for investment in the Fund will be lower to reflect separate account and contract/policy charges. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a contractowner may pay on distributions or redemption of units.
 
Growth of a Hypothetical $10,000 Investment (Unaudited)
 
To give you a comparison, this chart shows you the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made 10 years ago in the Fund and in the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”). Index returns do not include the fees and expenses of the Fund, but do include the reinvestment of dividends.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
By investing in the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including, as applicable, sales charges on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including, as applicable, management fees; distribution and/or 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 below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2011 and held for six months ended December 31, 2011.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line in the table 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 entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line in the table 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.

  Notes to Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2011
 
1.            Significant Accounting Policies
 
Value Line Centurion Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, whose primary investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s portfolio will usually consist of common stocks ranked 1, 2 or 3 for year-ahead performance by the Value Line Timeliness Ranking System.
 
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
 
Securities listed on a securities exchange are valued at the closing sales prices on the date as of which the net asset value is being determined. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of closing sales prices for such securities and for securities traded in the over-the-counter market, the security is valued at the midpoint between the latest available and representative asked and bid prices. Short-term instruments with maturities of 60 days or less at the date of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term instruments with maturities greater than 60 days at the date of purchase are valued at the midpoint between the latest available and representative asked and bid prices, and commencing 60 days prior to maturity such securities are valued at amortized cost. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or that are not readily marketable and all other assets of the Fund are valued at fair value as the Board of Directors may determine in good faith. In addition, the Fund may use the fair value of a security when the closing market price on the primary exchange where the security is traded no longer accurately reflects the value of a security due to factors affecting one or more relevant securities markets or the specific issuer.
 
(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.
 
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments in securities as of December 31, 2011:
                         
Investments in Securities:
 
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Total
 
Assets Common Stocks
  $ 126,925,203     $ 0     $ 0     $ 126,925,203  
Total Investments in Securities
  $ 126,925,203     $ 0     $ 0     $ 126,925,203  
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) -Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
Specifically, the guidance specifies that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets whereas they are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
 
Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required. Entities will also be required to disclose the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed.

  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
 
December 31, 2011
 
ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. The Fund is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
 
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 December 31, 2011, there was no significant transfer activity between Level 1 and Level 2.
 
For the year ended December 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 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 December 31, 2011.
 
(D) Federal Income Taxes
 
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to regulated investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its investment income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax 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 December 31, 2008 through December 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) Dividends and Distributions
 
It is the Fund’s policy to distribute to its shareholders, as dividends and as capital gains distributions, all the net investment income for the year and all the net capital gains realized by the Fund, if any. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. All dividends or distributions will be payable in shares of the Fund at the net asset value on the ex-dividend date. This policy is, however, subject to change at any time by the Board of Directors.
 
(F) Securities Transactions and Income
 
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income on investments, adjusted for amortization of discount and premium, if applicable, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
(G) Foreign Currency Translation
 
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. The Fund does not isolate changes in the value of investments caused by foreign exchange rate differences from the changes due to other circumstances.
 
Income and expenses are translated to U.S. dollars based upon the rates of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from currency fluctuations realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the differences between the U.S. dollar amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Fund, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates. The effect of the change in foreign exchange rates on the value of investments is included in realized gain/loss on investments and change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments.

December 31, 2011
 
(H) 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.
 
(I) Foreign Taxes
 
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

4.             Income Taxes
 
At December 31, 2011, information on the tax components of capital is as follows:
 
Cost of investments for tax purposes
   $ 92,162,503  
Gross tax unrealized appreciation
   $ 37,519,179  
Gross tax unrealized depreciation
  ($ 2,756,479 )
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments
   $ 34,762,700  
Capital loss carryforward, expires
       
December 31, 2016
  ($ 25,713,617 )
December 31, 2017
  ($ 56,057,485 )
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, as permitted under federal income tax regulations, the Fund utilized $16,100,359 of capital loss carryforwards and elected to defer $369 of late year ordinary losses and $15,962 of post-October net short-term capital losses to the next taxable year.
 
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 Fund 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 loses are used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
 
To the extent that current or future capital gains are offset by capital losses, the Fund does not anticipate distributing any such gains to shareholders.
 
It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the benefits of the losses before they expire.
 
The differences between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments were primarily attributed to wash sales.

  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
 
December 31, 2011
 
The tax composition of distributions to shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Ordinary income
  $     $ 2,802,629  
 
Permanent book-tax differences relating to the current year were reclassified within the composition of the net asset accounts. The Fund decreased accumulated net investment loss by $11,194, increased accumulated realized loss by $10,149, and decreased additional paid-in-capital by $1,045. Net assets are not affected by these reclassifications. These reclasses were primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency translation and net operation losses.
 
5.             Investment Advisory Fee, Service and Distribution Fees and Transactions With Affiliates
 
An advisory fee of $689,231 was paid or payable to EULAV Asset Management (the “Adviser”) for the year ended December 31, 2011. This was computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund 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”) in advertising, marketing and distributing the Fund’s shares and for servicing the Fund’s shareholders at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2011, fees amounting to $551,385, before fee waivers, were accrued under the Plan. Effective May 23, 2006 the Distributor waived 0.15% of the 12b-1 fee. Effective May 1, 2007 through April 30, 2012, the Distributor contractually agreed to reduce the fee under the Plan by 0.15% for one year periods. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the fees waived amounted to $206,769. The Distributor has no right to recoup previously waived amounts.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund’s expenses were reduced by $238 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.

  Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Value Line Centurion Fund, Inc.:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Value Line Centurion Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) at December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD IN APPROVING CONTINUANCE OF
THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
FOR VALUE LINE CENTURION FUND, INC.
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not “interested persons” of Value Line Centurion Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), to annually consider the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (“Agreement”) with its investment adviser, EULAV Asset Management.1
 
In considering whether the continuance of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, the Board requested and the Adviser provided such information as the Board deemed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. At meetings held throughout the year, including the meeting specifically focused upon the review of the Agreement, the Independent Directors met in executive sessions separately from the non-Independent Director of the Fund and any officers of the Adviser. In selecting the Adviser and approving the continuance of the Agreement, the Independent Directors relied upon the assistance of counsel to the Independent Directors.
 
Both in the meeting that specifically addressed the continuance of the Agreement and at other meetings, the Board, including the Independent Directors, received materials relating to the Adviser’s investment and management services under the Agreement. These materials included information on: (i) the investment performance of the Fund, compared to a peer group of funds consisting of the Fund and all other multi-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution (the “Performance Universe”), and its benchmark index, each as classified by Lipper Inc., an independent evaluation service (“Lipper”); (ii) the investment process, portfolio holdings, investment restrictions, valuation procedures, and financial statements for the Fund; (iii) sales and redemption data with respect to the Fund; (iv) the general investment outlook in the markets in which the Fund invests; (v) arrangements with respect to the distribution of the Fund’s shares; (vi) the allocation and cost of the Fund’s brokerage (none of which was effected through any affiliate of the Adviser); and (vii) the overall nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Adviser.
 
As part of their review, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, additional information in order to evaluate the quality of the Adviser’s services and the reasonableness of its fees under the Agreement. In a separate executive session, the Independent Directors reviewed information, which included data comparing: (i) the Fund’s management fee rate, transfer agent and custodian fee rates, service fee (including 12b-1 fees) rates, and the rate of the Fund’s other non-management fees, to those incurred by a peer group of funds consisting of the Fund and 10 other multi-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products (excluding outliers), as selected objectively by Lipper (“Expense Group”), and a peer group of funds consisting of the Fund, the Expense Group and all other multi-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products (excluding outliers), as selected objectively by Lipper (“Expense Universe”); (ii) the Fund’s expense ratio to those of its Expense Group and Expense Universe; and (iii) the Fund’s investment performance over various time periods to the average performance of the Performance Universe as well as the appropriate Lipper Index, as selected objectively by Lipper (the “Lipper Index”).
 
In the separate executive session, the Independent Directors also reviewed information regarding: (a) the financial results and condition of the Adviser both before and after its restructuring on December 23, 2010,2 and the Adviser’s and certain of its affiliates’ profitability from the services that have been performed for the Fund and the Value Line family of funds; (b) the Adviser’s investment management staffing and resources; (c) the ownership, control and day-to-day management of the Adviser, including representations of VLI that it does not “control” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) either the Adviser or Value Line Securities, Inc. (the “Distributor”) after the restructuring; and (d) the Fund’s potential for achieving economies of scale. In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a detailed description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the Expense Group, the Expense Universe and the Performance Universe to prepare its information.
 

1
For periods prior to December 23, 2010, the term “Adviser” means the Adviser’s predecessor entities that previously served as the Fund’s adviser, EULAV Asset Management, LLC and Value Line, Inc. (“VLI”). In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Agreement had a two-year initial term ending December 2012. Nevertheless, the Board determined to consider the Agreement’s continuance annually and undertook that review in June 2011.

On December 23, 2010, the Adviser was restructured as a Delaware statutory trust and renamed EULAV Asset Management. It had formerly been organized as a limited liability company named EULAV Asset Management, LLC.

Annual Report (unaudited)
 
The following summarizes matters considered by the Board in connection with its continuance of the Agreement. However, the Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the summary does not detail all the matters that were considered.
 
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed the Fund’s overall investment performance and compared it to its Performance Universe and the Lipper Index. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the Performance Universe average and the Lipper Index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2011. The Board also noted that the Fund’s performance for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2011 was below the performance of the Performance Universe average and the Lipper Index.
 
The Adviser’s Personnel and Methods. The Board reviewed the background of the portfolio manager responsible for the daily management of the Fund’s portfolio, seeking to achieve the Fund’s investment objective and adhering to the Fund’s investment strategies. The Independent Directors also engaged in discussions with the Adviser’s senior management responsible for the overall functioning of the Fund’s investment operations. The Board viewed favorably (i) the Adviser’s commitment of resources to acquire analytic tools in support of the portfolio management and compliance functions, (ii) actions taken by the Adviser to attract and retain personnel, including improvements to the Adviser’s employee benefit programs and increased merit-based compensation for certain staff members, and (iii) that the Adviser continues to receive the Value Line ranking systems without cost. The Board concluded that the Fund’s management team and the Adviser’s overall resources were adequate and that the Adviser had investment management capabilities and personnel essential to performing its duties under the Agreement.
 
Management Fee and Expenses. The Board considered the Adviser’s fee rate under the Agreement relative to the management fee rates applicable to the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe averages, both before and after applicable fee waivers. The Board noted that, for the most recent fiscal year for which audited financial data is available, the Fund’s management fee rate was less than that of the Expense Group average and the Expense Universe average, both before and after giving effect to fee waivers applicable to certain funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board concluded that the Fund’s management fee rate was satisfactory for the purpose of approving continuance of the Agreement.
 
The Board also considered the Fund’s total expense ratio relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe averages. The Board noted that the Distributor and the Board previously agreed that the Distributor would contractually waive a portion of the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 fee, effectively reducing the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 fee rate from 0.40% to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the one-year period ended April 30, 2011 and that the Distributor and the Board have currently agreed to extend this contractual Rule 12b-1 fee waiver through April 30, 2012. Such waiver cannot be changed during the contractual waiver period without the Board’s approval. The Board noted that, for the most recent fiscal year for which audited financial data is available, the Fund’s expense ratio was less than that of both the Expense Group average and the Expense Universe average, after giving effect to fee waivers applicable to the Fund and certain funds in the Expense Group and Universe. The Board concluded that the average expense ratio was satisfactory for the purpose of approving continuance of the Agreement.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of other services provided by the Adviser and the Distributor. At meetings held throughout the year, the Board reviewed the resources and effectiveness of the Adviser’s overall compliance program, as well as the services provided by the Distributor. The Board viewed favorably the additional resources devoted by the Adviser to enhance its and the Fund’s overall compliance program as well as steps being undertaken to enhance the shareholders’ experience with the Fund, such as a more robust website. The Board reviewed the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates in supervising the Fund’s third party service providers. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the nature, quality, cost, and extent of such other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory, reliable and beneficial to the Fund’s shareholders.
 
Profitability. The Board considered the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Fund individually and in the aggregate for all the funds within the Value Line group of funds, including the impact of the restructuring and certain actions taken during prior years. These actions included the reduction (voluntary in some instances and contractual in other instances) of management and/or Rule 12b-1 fees for certain funds, the Adviser’s termination of the use of soft dollar research, and the cessation of trading through the Distributor. The Board also considered the Adviser’s continued attention to the rationalization and differentiation of funds within the Value Line group of funds to better identify opportunities for savings and efficiencies among the funds. The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Fund, including the financial results derived from the Fund’s Agreement, were within a range the Board considered reasonable.

Other Benefits. The Board also considered the character and amount of other direct and incidental benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their association with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates may receive, such as greater name recognition, appear to be reasonable, and may in some cases benefit the Fund.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that, given the current and anticipated size of the Fund, any perceived and potential economies of scale were not yet a significant consideration for the Fund and that the addition of break points to the fee structure was not currently necessary.
 
Fees and Services Provided for Other Comparable Funds/Accounts Managed by the Adviser and its Affiliates. The Board was informed by the Adviser that the Adviser does not manage any non-mutual fund account that has similar objectives and policies as those of the Fund.
 
Conclusion. The Board examined the totality of the information it was provided at the meeting specifically addressing approval of the Agreement and at other meetings held during the past year and did not identify any single controlling factor. Based on its evaluation of all material factors deemed relevant and with the advice of independent counsel, the Board concluded that the rate at which the Fund pays a management fee to the Adviser under the Agreement does not constitute a fee that is so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining. Further, the Board concluded that the Fund’s Agreement, and the management fee rate thereunder, is fair and reasonable and voted to continue the Agreement as in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
 
As mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this "Code") sets forth legal and ethical standards of conduct for the directors, officers and employees of EULAV Asset Management and Subsidiaries1 (the "Company") and the Value Line Mutual Funds (collectively, the “Funds” or individually, the “Fund”). This Code is intended to deter wrongdoing and to promote the conduct of all Company business in accordance with high standards of integrity and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This Code applies to the Company, its subsidiaries and each of the Funds and applies to each director and employee including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller of each entity and persons performing similar functions.
 
If you have any questions regarding this Code or its application to you in any situation, you should contact the Chief Executive Officer.
 
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS
 
The Company requires that all employees, officers and directors comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company wherever it does business. You are expected to use good judgment and common sense in seeking to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to ask for advice when you are uncertain about them.
 
If you become aware of the violation of any law, rule or regulation by the Company, whether by its officers, employees, directors, or any third party doing business on behalf of the Company, or if you become aware of any violation of this Code, it is your responsibility to promptly report the matter.  You may contact an officer of the Company.  While it is the Company's desire to address matters internally, nothing in this Code should discourage you from reporting any illegal activity, including any violation of the securities laws, antitrust laws, environmental laws or any other federal, state or foreign law, rule or regulation, to the appropriate regulatory authority. Employees, officers and directors shall not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass or in any other manner discriminate or retaliate against an employee because he or she reports any such violation, unless it is determined that the report was made with knowledge that it was false. This Code should not be construed to prohibit you from testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in any state or federal administrative, judicial or legislative proceeding or investigation.
 
 
 


1 For purposes of this Code, “Subsidiaries” includes EULAV Securities LLC, the principal underwriter of each of the Funds (“EULAV Securities”).  References in this Code to EULAV shall be interpreted to include EULAV Securities unless the context clearly otherwise requires.
 
 
 

 
 
CONFIDENTIALITY
 
Employees, officers and directors must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company, except when disclosure is authorized by the Chief Executive Officer or legally mandated. Confidential information includes lists of clients, personal information about employees or shareholders and the like. Unauthorized disclosure of any confidential information is prohibited. Additionally, employees should take appropriate precautions to ensure that confidential or sensitive business information is not communicated within the Company except to employees who have a need to know such information to perform their responsibilities for the Company.
 
Third parties may ask you for information concerning the Company. Employees, officers and directors (other than the Company's authorized spokesperson) must not discuss internal Company matters with, or disseminate internal Company information to, anyone outside the Company, except as authorized by the Chief Executive Officer. All responses to inquiries on behalf of the Company must be approved by the Company's authorized spokesperson currently Mitchell Appel. If you receive any inquiries of this nature, you must decline to comment and refer the inquirer to the Company's authorized spokesperson.
 
HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT AND FAIR DEALING
 
Employees, officers and directors should endeavor to deal honestly, ethically and fairly with the Company's suppliers, customers, competitors and employees. Statements regarding the Company's products and services must not be untrue, misleading, deceptive or fraudulent.
 
PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF CORPORATE ASSETS; RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
 
Employees, officers and directors should seek to protect the Company's assets. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company's financial performance. All of us must use the Company's assets and services solely for legitimate business purposes of the Company and not for any personal benefit or the personal benefit of anyone else.
 
All of us must always act in the best interests of the Company. You must refrain from engaging in any activity or having a personal interest that presents a "conflict of interest." A conflict of interest occurs when your personal interest interferes with the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest can arise whenever you, as an officer, director or employee, take action or have an interest that prevents you from performing your Company duties and responsibilities honestly, objectively and effectively.

The Company recognizes that Related Person Transactions (as defined below) can present potential or actual conflicts of interest and create the appearance that Company decisions are based on considerations other than the best interests of the Company.  Nevertheless, the Company recognizes that there are situations where Related Person Transactions may be in, or may not be inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company.  Therefore, the Company has adopted the procedures set forth below for the review, approval or ratification of Related Person Transactions.
 
For the purposes of this Code of Conduct and Business Ethics, a "Related Person Transaction" is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $50,000, and in which any Related Person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest; provided, however, that the following are not Related Person Transactions:
 
1.  
the transaction involves compensation approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer;
 
2.  
the transaction is available to all employees generally; and
 
3.  
indebtedness due from the Related Person for purchases of goods and services subject to usual trade terms, for ordinary business travel and expense payments and for other transactions in the ordinary course of business.
 
For purposes of this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a “Related Person” means:
 
1.  
any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year was, a director or officer of the Company or a nominee to become a director of the Company;
 
2.  
any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's voting interests;
 
3.  
any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of the director, executive officer, nominee or more than 5% beneficial owner, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer, nominee or more than 5% beneficial owner; and
 
4.  
any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a general partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest.
 
 
3

 
 
A Related Person Transaction shall be consummated or shall continue only if the Chief Executive Officer shall approve or ratify such transaction and if the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company.
 
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
 
All of us are bound to advance the Company's business interests when the opportunity to do so arises. You must not take for yourself business opportunities that are discovered through your position with the Company or the use of property or information of the Company.
 
ACCURACY OF BOOKS AND RECORDS AND PUBLIC REPORTS
 
Employees, officers and directors must honestly and accurately report all Company business transactions. You are responsible for the accuracy of your records and reports. Accurate information is essential to the Company's ability to meet legal and regulatory obligations.
 
All Company books, records and accounts shall be maintained in accordance with all applicable regulations and standards and accurately reflect the true nature of the transactions they record. The financial statements of the Company shall conform to generally accepted accounting rules and the Company's accounting policies. No undisclosed or unrecorded account or fund shall be established for any purpose. No false or misleading entries shall be made in the Company's books or records for any reason, and no disbursement of corporate funds or other corporate property shall be made without adequate supporting documentation.
 
It is the policy of the Company to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents filed with, or submitted to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications.
 
CONCERNS REGARDING ACCOUNTING OR AUDITING MATTERS
 
Anyone with concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters or complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters may confidentially, and anonymously if they wish, communicate such concerns or complaints to any of the Company's officers. A record of all complaints and concerns received will be provided to the Company’s Board of Trustees.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION
 
Disciplinary measures will be taken against:
 
·  
Any employee, officer or director who authorizes, directs, approves or participates in any violation of the Code or of any applicable law, rule or regulation;
 
·  
Any employee, officer or director who has deliberately failed to report a violation of the Code or of any applicable law, rule or regulation, who has concealed any such violation or who has deliberately withheld or misstated relevant information concerning such a violation;

·  
Any employee, officer or director who refuses to return a signed certification of the Code or who fails to return a signed certification of the Code after reasonable opportunity to do so.
 
In addition, persons who violate any applicable law, rule or regulation may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and payment of civil damages to the Company or third parties.
 
DISSEMINATION AND AMENDMENT
 
This Code shall be distributed to each new employee, officer and director of the Company upon commencement of his or her employment or other relationship with the Company.
 
 Company reserves the right to amend, alter or terminate this Code at any time for any reason.
 
This document is not an employment contract between the Company and any of its employees, officers or directors and does not alter the Company's at-will employment policy.
