The following paragraph is added at the end of the section captioned “INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES” in the Statement of Additional Information:

Transfer and Sub-Transfer Agency Services and Fees.  As described above, State Street, through its affiliate Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., serves as the Fund’s transfer agent and dividend-disbursing agent, and is compensated for such services by the Fund.  In addition, effective July 5, 2012, the Fund compensates financial intermediaries that provide sub-transfer agency and related services to investors that hold their Fund shares in omnibus accounts maintained by the financial intermediaries with the Fund.  The sub-transfer agency fee, which may be paid directly to the financial intermediary or indirectly via the Distributor, is equal to the lower of (i) the aggregate amount of additional transfer agency fees and expenses that the Fund would otherwise pay to State Street if each subaccount in the omnibus account maintained by the financial intermediary with the Fund were a direct account with the Fund and (ii) the amount by which the fees charged by the financial intermediary for including the Fund on its platform and providing shareholder, sub-transfer agency and related services exceed the amount paid under the Fund’s Plan with respect to Fund assets attributable to shares held by the financial intermediary in the omnibus account.  In addition, the amount of sub-transfer agency fees payable by the Fund to all financial intermediaries in the aggregate is subject to a maximum cap of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  If the sub-transfer agency fee is paid to financial intermediaries indirectly via the Distributor, the Distributor does not retain any amount thereof and such fee otherwise reduces the amount that the Distributor is contractually obligated to pay to the financial intermediary.  The plan pursuant to which the sub-transfer agency fee is paid is subject to annual approval by the Board and is terminable at any time by the Board.  In addition to a financial intermediary receiving a sub-transfer agency fee and payments under the Fund’s service and distribution (Rule 12b-1) plan, the Distributor or its affiliates may make additional payments to the financial intermediary out of their own assets as described below under the caption “SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN -- Additional Dealer Compensation.”
 
 
 

 
 
The first three paragraphs of the Additional Dealer Compensation section under SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN in the Statement of Additional Information is deleted and replaced with the following:
 
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker, fund trading platform or other financial intermediary (collectively, “intermediaries”), your intermediary may receive various forms of compensation (which may come directly or indirectly from the Fund and other Value Line Funds) from the Fund, the Distributor, the Adviser and/or their affiliates.  Such payments may be based on a variety of factors, including sales of Fund shares through that intermediary or the value of shares held by investors through that intermediary.  Compensation from the Distributor may vary among intermediaries.  The types or payments an intermediary may receive include:

 
Payments under the Plan which are asset based charges paid from the assets of the Fund;
 
Payments for sub-transfer agency and related services to omnibus account investors, which are also paid from the assets of the Fund; and
 
Payments by the Distributor out of its own assets.  These payments are in addition to payments made for sub-transfer agency services and under the Plan.  You should ask your intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor.

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries that sell Fund shares may make decisions about which investment options they will service and make available to their clients based on the payments these entities may be eligible to receive for their services.  Therefore, payments to a brokerage firm or other intermediary may create potential conflicts of interest between that entity and its clients where that entity determines which investment options it will make available to those clients.
 
          The maximum amount of compensation that may be paid to any intermediary under the Plan is 0.25% of average daily net assets.  The maximum amount of sub-transfer agency fees that may be paid to any intermediary is the lower of (i) the aggregate amount of additional transfer agency fees and expenses that the Fund would otherwise pay to State Street if each subaccount in the omnibus account maintained by the financial intermediary with the Fund were a direct account with the Fund and (ii) the amount by which the fees charged by the financial intermediary for including the Fund on its platform and providing shareholder, sub-transfer agency and related services exceed the amount paid under the Fund’s Plan with respect to Fund assets attributable to shares held by the financial intermediary in the omnibus account.   Generally, the maximum amount of additional compensation that the Distributor pays to any intermediary from its own assets is 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  However, to the extent the Distributor waives any fees it would have otherwise received under the Plan, the Distributor (and not the Fund) would pay the intermediaries out of its own assets any such amounts waived.
