To Our Value Line Aggressive
 
To Our Shareholders:
 
Enclosed is your semi-annual report for the period ended July 31, 2009. I encourage you to carefully review this report, which includes economic observations, your Trust’s performance data and highlights, schedules of investment holdings, and financial statements.
 
For the six months ended July 31, 2009, the total return of the Value Line Aggressive Income Trust was 17.83%. The first part of the year saw a strong rebound in the high yield security sector after a dramatic fall in prices at the end of last year. In fact, despite the recession and a roughly 10% default rate for corporate securities over the past year, 2009 is shaping up to be the best year on record for this asset class. Yield spreads between US Treasuries and high-yield corporate debt have fallen from record high levels as investors have priced in an economic turnaround. While the economy looks set to start growing again, the effects of too much leverage are still likely to be felt in the year ahead. Standard & Poor’s forecasts that the high rates of defaults will continue and peak in the mid-teens next year. While the Federal Reserve has significantly reduced the overnight lending rate in the past year, in an effort to jump start the economy, US Treasury yields may begin to rise as the economy recovers, which could put downward pressure on the high yield arena.
 
Given the challenging economic times, the Trust has limited its investment holdings in the lowest rated securities (CCC) to roughly 5% of the fund versus the mid-teen level of the industry indexes, since these securities have a historically high rate of default. The Trust has also maintained a relatively high cash position in the upper-single digits, given liquidity concerns. These two factors have led the Trust to trail the returns of the average High-Yield Bond Fund(1), as measured by Lipper Inc., which gained 24.10%, and the Barclay’s U.S. Corporate High Yield Index(2), a proxy for the overall high-yield market, which rose 30.55% for the same period.
 
We continue to focus our investments in the more liquid and stronger credits available in the high-yield sector and will invest some of our cash reserves as attractive opportunities present themselves. Energy-related securities continue to account for the largest sector weighting of the Trust. While commodity prices in this sector can be volatile, we still like the prospects of this investment segment considering its strong earnings growth potential.
 
Preserving capital in difficult market environments, while allowing for an attractive dividend yield, remains our goal. We thank you for your continued investment with us.
   
 
Sincerely,
   
 
/s/ Mitchell Appel
 
     Mitchell Appel, President

The Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Average aims at high (relative) current yield from fixed income securities, has no quality or maturity restrictions, and tends to invest in lower grade debt issues. An investment cannot be made in Peer Group Average.
   
(2)
The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index is representative of the broad based fixed-income market. It includes non-investment grade corporate bonds. The returns for the Index do not reflect charges, expenses, or taxes, and it is not possible to directly invest in this unmanaged Index.

Economic Observations
 
The deep and prolonged recession, which commenced during the latter part of 2007, has run its course. Specifically, the downturn, which had produced steep declines of 5.4% and 6.4% in the nation’s gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of this year, respectively, appears to have ended in the now concluding third quarter. For example, following a more limited business setback in the second quarter, when GDP eased by just 1.0%, the economy snapped back over the summer, producing growth that may well have averaged 2%-3% in the third quarter. GDP should move ahead at a similar measured pace over the final three months of 2009, underpinned by further, uneven gains in consumer spending and industrial activity. It is worth noting that this prospective rate of GDP growth would be below the historical norm of 3%-4%. The problem is that there is just too much aggregate weakness in certain core business sectors, notably home prices and employment growth, to generate the higher level of consumer activity needed for more significant rates of GDP growth, in our opinion.
 
The now apparently ended recession was traceable to several events, beginning with sharp declines in housing construction, home sales, and real estate prices. We also experienced a large reduction in credit availability, a high level of bank failures, increasing foreclosure rates, surging unemployment, slumping retail activity, and weak manufacturing. Unfortunately, some of these problems are likely to remain with us for several quarters more—most notably the decline in home prices and the increase in unemployment. Such ongoing difficulties underscore why we still expect somewhat below-trend rates of economic growth though 2010. Encouragingly, though, the majority of economic indicators are either stabilizing or improving selectively. It is much the same overseas, where severe business declines had earlier been seen across Europe and Asia. Those setbacks, which generally got under way several months after our own reversal commenced, have also largely run their course. Following this initially modest business recovery, which we expect to continue through much of 2010, we would look for enough brightening in both the housing and the employment pictures to underpin a more definitive global economic recovery in 2011.
 
Inflation, which had moved sharply higher in this country last year, following dramatic increases in oil, food, and commodity prices, has proceeded in a largely uneven fashion in more recent months, reflecting rapid, but often shortlived, gyrations in key pricing categories. We expect pricing to remain quite volatile, with further sharp up and down swings in oil and commodities being the norm as the economy transitions from recession to recovery. Overall, we think that prices will increase less sharply going forward over the next year or two than they did before the recent downward spiral in the 2007-2009 recession. Looking further out, we anticipate some pricing pressures will evolve with the accompanying sustained expansion in economic strength over the next several years. The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, is unlikely to start raising interest rates for another several months. Clearly, the risks to the sustainability of the formative, and still tenuous, economic up cycle would seem too great for the central bank to consider tightening the credit reins at this time.

TRUST EXPENSES (unaudited):
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Trust, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Trust expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Trust 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 (February 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009).
 
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 Trust’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust’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 Trust and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the 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.

Value Line Aggressive Income Trust
 
 Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
1.       Significant Accounting Policies
 
Value Line Aggressive Income Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The primary investment objective of the Trust is to maximize current income through investment in a diversified portfolio of high-yield fixed-income securities. As a secondary investment objective, the Trust will seek capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary objective. Lower rated or unrated (i.e., high-yield) securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk (general market liquidity) and credit risk (issuers’ inability to meet principal and interest payments on their obligations) than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Trust to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry. The following significant accounting principles are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
(A) Security Valuation: The Trustees have determined that the value of bonds and other fixed income corporate securities be calculated on the valuation date by reference to valuations obtained from an independent pricing service that determines valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. This 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. Securities, other than bonds and other fixed income securities, not priced in this manner are valued at the midpoint between the latest available and representative bid and asked prices or, when stock valuations are used, at the latest quoted sale price as of the regular close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Other assets and securities for which market valuations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as the Trustees may determine. In addition, the Trust may use the fair value of a security when the closing price on the primary exchange where the security is traded no longer reflects the value of a security due to factors affecting one or more relevant securities markets or the specific issuer. Short term instruments with maturities of 60 days or less, at the date of purchase, are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
 
(B) Fair Value Measurements: The Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective February 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Trust would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 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 assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be 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 assumptions 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 Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The type of inputs used to value each security is identified in the Schedule of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Schedule’s investments by category.

(C) Repurchase Agreements: In connection with repurchase agreements, the Trust’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 Trust’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 Trust 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.
 
(D) Distributions: It is the policy of the Trust to distribute all of its net investment income to shareholders. Dividends from net investment income will be declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders annually or more frequently if necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue Code. Income dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Trust unless the shareholder has requested otherwise. Income earned by the Trust on weekends, holidays and other days on which the Trust is closed for business is declared as a dividend on the next day on which the Trust is open for business.
 
(E) Federal Income Taxes: It is the Trust’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 to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

(F) Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Trust 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. The Trust 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 Trust 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.
 
(G) Representations and Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
(H) Security Transactions: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are recorded on the identified-cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of discount and premium, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
(I) Accounting for Real Estate Investment Trusts: The Trust owns shares of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from REITs during the year which represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost and distributions which represent a capital gain dividend are recorded as a realized long-term capital gain on investments.
 
(J) Foreign Taxes: The Trust may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Trust 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.
 
(K) Redemption Fees: The Trust charges a 2% redemption fee on shares held for less than 120 days. Such fees are retained by the Trust and accounted for as paid in capital.
 
(L) Subsequent Event: In accordance with the provision set forth in the FAS 165 Subsequent Events, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Trust’s financial statements through September 29, 2009. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Trust’s financial statements through this date.

Investment Advisory Fee, Service and Distribution Fees and Transactions With Affiliates
 
An advisory fee of $121,144 was paid or payable to EULAV Asset Management, LLC. (the “Adviser”) for the six months ended July 31, 2009. This was computed at an annual rate of 0.75 of 1% per year on the first $100 million of the Trust’s average daily net assets during the period, and 0.50 of 1% on the average daily net assets in excess thereof. The Adviser provides research, investment programs, supervision of the investment portfolio and pays costs of administrative services and office space. The Adviser also provides persons, satisfactory to the Trust’s Trustees, to act as officers of the Trust and pays their salaries. Direct expenses of the Trust are charged to the Trust while common expenses of the Value Line Funds are allocated proportionately based upon the Funds’ respective net assets. The Trust bears all other costs and expenses. Effective June 1, 2007 and 2008, the Adviser contractually agreed to reduce the Trust’s advisory fee by 0.40% for one year periods. Effective June 1, 2009 the adviser contractually agreed to reduce the Trust’s advisory fee by 0.30% for a one year period. The fees waived amounted to $58,422 for the six months ended July 31, 2009. The Adviser has no right to recoup previously waived amounts.

The Trust has a Service and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, compensates EULAV Securities, Inc. (the “Distributor”), formerly Value Line Securities, Inc. prior to May 5, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Value Line, for advertising, marketing and distributing the Trust’s shares and for servicing the Trust’s shareholders at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s average daily net assets. Fees amounting to $40,381 before fee waivers were accrued under the Plan for the six months ended July 31, 2009. Effective June 1, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Distributor contractually agreed to reduce the 12b-1 fee by 0.10% for one year periods. The fees waived amounted to $16,153 for the six months ended July 31, 2009. The Distributor has no right to recoup previously waived amounts.
 
Certain officers, employees and a director of Value Line and/or affiliated companies are also officers and a Trustee of the Trust. At July 31, 2009, the officers and Trustee as a group owned 930 shares of beneficial interest in the Trust, representing less than 1% of the outstanding shares.

As previously disclosed, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) conducted an investigation regarding whether the Distributor’s brokerage charges and related expense reimbursements from the Value Line Funds (“Funds”) during periods prior to 2005 were excessive and whether adequate disclosure was made to the SEC and the Boards of Directors and shareholders of the Funds. Value Line, Inc. (“Value Line”), the parent company of both the Distributor and the Adviser, has made an offer to settle the investigation. The settlement offer, in which Value Line neither admits nor denies the investigation’s findings, provides that, if accepted by the SEC, approximately $43.7 million would be paid by Value Line into a Fair Fund to reimburse shareholders who owned shares in the affected mutual funds in the period covered by the settlement. In addition, under the settlement offer, Value Line’s CEO and former CCO would be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company and from association with an investment adviser, broker-dealer or registered investment company subject, in the case of the CEO, to a limited exception from the associational bar for a period of one year from the entry of the settlement order in order to enable steps to be taken that will terminate her association with the Value Line mutual funds, asset management and distribution businesses. The settlement offer will not be effective unless approved by the SEC and no assurance can be given that such approval will be obtained. Value Line management ended the Value Line Funds use of affiliated brokerage in 2004. Value Line has informed the Trust’s management of its belief that there are no loss or gain contingencies that should be accrued or disclosed in the Trust’s financial statements and that the settlement of the SEC investigation is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Adviser or the Distributor to perform their respective contracts with the Trust.

Factors Considered by the Board in Approving the Investment Advisory Agreement for Value Line Aggressive Income Trust
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires the Board of Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of Value Line Aggressive Income Trust (the “Trust”), as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), annually to consider the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and its investment adviser, EULAV Asset Management, LLC1 (the “Adviser”). As required by the 1940 Act, 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 Trustees met in executive sessions separately from the non-Independent Trustee of the Trust and any officers of the Adviser. In selecting the Adviser and approving the continuance of the Agreement, the Independent Trustees relied upon the assistance of counsel to the Independent Trustees.
 
Both in the meetings which specifically addressed the approval of the Agreement and at other meetings held during the course of the year, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, 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 Trust, compared to a peer group of funds consisting of the Trust and all retail and institutional high current yield funds 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 Trust; (iii) sales and redemption data with respect to the Trust; (iv) the general investment outlook in the markets in which the Trust invests; (v) arrangements with respect to the distribution of the Trust’s shares; (vi) the allocation and cost of the Trust’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.
 

1 On June 30, 2008, Value Line, Inc., the Trust’s former investment adviser, reorganized its investment management division into EULAV Asset Management, LLC, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary located at 220 East 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017. As part of the reorganization, the Trust’s investment advisory agreement was transferred from Value Line, Inc. to EULAV Asset Management, LLC, and EULAV Asset Management, LLC replaced Value Line, Inc. as the Trust’s investment adviser. For periods prior to June 30, 2008, the term “Adviser” refers to Value Line, Inc.

As part of the review of the continuance of the Agreement, 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 Trustees reviewed information, which included data comparing: (i) the Trust’s management fee rate, transfer agent and custodian fee rates, service fee (including 12b-1 fees) rates, and the rate of the Trust’s other non-management fees, to those incurred by a peer group of funds consisting of the Trust and 14 other retail no-load high current yield funds, as selected objectively by Lipper (“Expense Group”), and a peer group of funds consisting of the Trust, the Expense Group and all other retail no-load high current yield funds (excluding outliers), as selected objectively by Lipper (“Expense Universe”); (ii) the Trust’s expense ratio to those of its Expense Group and Expense Universe; and (iii) the Trust’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 Trustees also reviewed information regarding: (a) the Adviser’s financial results and condition, including the Adviser’s and certain of its affiliates’ profitability from the services that have been performed for the Trust as well as the Value Line family of funds; (b) the Trust’s current investment management staffing; and (c) the Trust’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. The Independent Trustees also requested and reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the matter of Value Line Securities, Inc.2, the Trust’s principal underwriter and affiliate of the Adviser (the “Distributor”), and a representation by Value Line, Inc. that the resolution of this matter is not likely to have a materially adverse effect on the ability of the Adviser or the Distributor to perform their respective contracts with the Trust.
 
The following summarizes matters considered by the Board in connection with its renewal 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 Trust’s overall investment performance and compared it to its Performance Universe and the Lipper Index. The Board noted that the Trust outperformed both the Performance Universe average and the Lipper Index for the one-year, three-year and five-year period ended December 31, 2008. The Board also noted that the Trust’s performance for the ten-year period ended December 31, 2008 was below the performance of the Performance Universe average and above 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 Trust’s portfolio, seeking to achieve the Trust’s investment objectives and adhering to the Trust’s investment strategies. The Independent Trustees also engaged in discussions with the Adviser’s senior management responsible for the overall functioning of the Trust’s investment operations. The Board concluded that the Trust’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 under the Agreement relative to the management fees charged by its Expense Group and Expense Universe averages. The Board noted that, effective March 7, 2006, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Trust’s management fee, thereby reducing the management fee rate from 0.75% to 0.35% of the Trust’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Board noted that the Adviser and the Board previously agreed that the Trust’s management fee waiver, as described above, would be contractually imposed for each of the one-year periods ended May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2009, so that such waiver could not be changed without the Board’s approval during such periods. The Board also noted that, effective June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010, the Board and the Adviser contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Trust’s management fee, thereby reducing the management fee rate from 0.75% to 0.45% of the Trust’s average daily net assets. The Board noted that, for the most recent fiscal year, the Trust’s management fee rate after giving effect to the contractual management fee waiver was less than that of both the Expense Group average and the Expense Universe average.
 

2 On May 6, 2009, Value Line Securities, Inc. changed its name to EULAV Securities, Inc. No other change was made to the Distributor’s organization, including its operations and personnel.

The Board also considered the Trust’s total expense ratio relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe averages. The Board noted that, effective March 7, 2006, the Distributor voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Trust’s Rule 12b-1 fee, thereby reducing the Trust’s Rule 12b-1 fee rate from 0.25% to 0.15% of the Trust’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Board noted that the Distributor and the Board previously agreed that the Trust’s Rule 12b-1 fee waiver, as described above, would be contractually imposed for each of the one-year periods ended May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2009, so that such waiver could not be changed without the Board’s approval during such periods, and that the Distributor and the Board have currently agreed to extend this contractual 12b-1 fee waiver through May 31, 2010. As a result of these Rule 12b-1 fee waivers and the management fee waivers, the Board noted that the Trust’s total expense ratio after giving effect to these waivers was less than that of the Expense Group average and the Expense Universe average. The Board concluded that the average expense ratio was satisfactory for the purpose of approving the continuance of the Agreement for the coming year.
 
Nature and Qualitv of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of other services provided by the Adviser and the Distributor. At meetings held throughout the year, the Board reviewed the effectiveness of the Adviser’s overall compliance program, as well as the services provided by the Distributor. The Board also reviewed the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates in supervising 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 Trust’s shareholders.
 
Profitability. The Board considered the level of profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Trust individually and in the aggregate for all the funds within the Value Line group of funds, including the impact of certain actions taken during prior years. These actions included the Adviser’s 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 concluded that the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Trust, including the financial results derived from the Trust’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 Trust. 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 Trust.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that, given the current and anticipated size of the Trust, any perceived and potential economies of scale were not yet a significant consideration for the Trust and the addition of break points was determined not to be necessary at this time.
 
Fees and Services Provided for Other Comparable Funds/Accounts Managed by the Adviser and its Affiliates. In addition to comparing the Trust’s management fee rate to unaffiliated mutual funds included in the Trust’s Expense Group and Expense Universe, the Board was informed by the Adviser that the Adviser and its affiliates do not manage any investment companies or other institutional accounts comparable to the Trust.

Conclusion. The Board, in light of the Adviser’s overall performance, considered it appropriate to continue to retain the Adviser as the Trust’s investment adviser. Based on their evaluation of all material factors deemed relevant, and with the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that the Trust’s management fee rate payable to the Adviser under the Agreement does not constitute fees that are 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, and concluded that the management fee rate under the Agreement is fair and reasonable. Further, the Board concluded that the Trust’s Agreement is fair and reasonable and approved the continuation of the Agreement for another year.
