VALUE LINE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies - Note 1: - ---------------------------------------------------- In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals except as noted below) considered necessary for a fair presentation. This report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, dated July 15, 1998 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998. Results of operations covered by this report may not be indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all cash held at banks and invested in the Value Line money market funds with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash and cash equivalents. As of October 31, 1998 and April 30, 1998, cash equivalents included $33,400,000 and $28,283,000, respectively, invested in the Value Line money market funds. Valuation of Securities: The Company's long-term securities portfolio, which consists of shares of the Value Line Mutual Funds are valued at market value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable taxes, as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities are recorded in earnings on trade date and are determined on the identified cost method. Trading securities, which consist of securities held by Value Line Securities, Inc., the Company's broker-dealer subsidiary, are valued at market with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Earnings per Share, basic & fully diluted: Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 7
Marketable Securities - Note 2: - ---------------------------------------------------- Trading Securities: Securities held by Value Line Securities, Inc. had an aggregate cost of $7,213,000 and $7,914,000 and a market value of $7,795,000 and $8,861,000 at October 31, 1998 and April 30, 1998, respectively. Long-Term Securities Available for Sale: The aggregate cost of the long-term securities was $109,181,000 and $107,743,000 and the market value was $138,261,000 and $149,277,000 at October 31, 1998 and April 30, 1998, respectively. At October 31, 1998, the decrease in gross unrealized appreciation on these securities of $12,454,000, net of deferred taxes of $4,359,000, was included in shareholders' equity. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information - Note 3: - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cash payments for income taxes were $6,914,000 and $9,688,000 during the six months ended October 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Comprehensive Income - Note 4: - ---------------------------------------------------- During the fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted FASB statement no. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Statement no. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. At October 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company held long term securities classified as available-for-sale. The change in valuation of these securities, net of deferred taxes has been recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in gross unrealized gains was $8,249,000 and $12,454,000 and the change in the related deferred taxes was $2,887,000 and $4,359,000 during the three months and six months ended October 31, 1998, respectively. The increase in gross unrealized gains on these securities was $225,000 and $19,628,000 and the change in the related deferred taxes was $79,000 and $6,870,000, during the three months and six months ended October 31, 1997, respectively. Gain on Sale of Operating Facility - Note 5: - ---------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to the Company's realignment of its production and distribution departments, the Company sold its vacant North Bergen, New Jersey operating facility during May 1998 for which it received gross proceeds of $577,000. The gain on the sale of the operating facility is included in revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 8
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Value Line, Inc. (the Company) had liquid resources which are used in its business of $175,187,000 at October 31, 1998. In addition to $36,926,000 of working capital, the Company had long-term securities available for sale with a market value of $138,261,000, that, although classified as non-current assets, are also readily marketable should the need arise. The Company's cash flow from operations of $11,373,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1999 was $5,367,000 higher than fiscal 1998's cash flow primarily due to an increase in prepayments for future subscriptions to the Company's products and a change in the timing of the receipt and payment of invoices for significant advertising and promotion vendors. Tax related timing differences and the utilization of prior period credits also contributed to the additional cash flows from operations. This increase to cash flow was partially offset by the increase in accounts receivable that resulted from the efficiencies in order processing in the new subscription fulfillment system. Net cash outflows for investing activities during fiscal 1999 were $3,166,000 less than fiscal 1998's outflows due primarily to the Company's decision in fiscal 1998 to invest additional cash in its short term trading portfolio. The receipt of $577,000 of proceeds during fiscal 1999 from the sale of the Company's North Bergen, New Jersey vacant operating facility also contributed to the increase in comparable cash flow from investing activities. Year 2000 (Y2K): Preparedness for the Year 2000 by Value Line, Inc. began in 1997 with an initial assessment of the Company's systems, its risk of exposure, the steps necessary to achieve Y2K compliance, and the resources necessary to implement those steps. The first phase of the plan involved a complete assessment of the Company's systems and a survey of vendors. Systems were categorized into three groups - Mission Critical, Critical, and Non-Critical. Mission Critical systems are systems that would result in a disruption of service or services. Critical systems are defined as those that could cause minor disruption of services. Non-Critical systems are defined as those that would have no significant impact on operations or services. State of Readiness - Y2K We are now into the second phase of the project: Remediation, Testing and Implementation. This phase involves remediating or replacing non-compliant systems, testing each system, implementing changes to our production environment, and then re-testing each system. Under the direction of the Y2K project team, the Information Technology Department is working towards the Y2K compliance of all systems by the first quarter of calendar 1999. Though we cannot provide absolute assurances, we currently believe the Company will reach its objectives by that time. The Year 2000 project is currently on schedule. Anticipated Costs - Y2K The Company's fiscal year 1998 expenditures for the Y2K project were $251,000. The Company's fiscal year 1999 budget for the Y2K project is $790,000 of which $232,000 was incurred during the six months ended October 31, 1998. The Company's fiscal year 2000 budget is projected to be $400,000. These expenditures include new software and hardware, allocation of staff time, temporary assistance for clerical tasks, legal counsel, testing tools and external, third-party monitoring of the Company's Y2K implementation plan. Risks - Y2K As the Securities and Exchange Commission recently noted, we cannot predict with certainty what will happen as the millennium approaches. We are attempting to purge every system of Year 2000 problems, but we cannot be sure that we will find every problem in the Company's systems, that the vendors the Company relies upon will find every problem in their systems, or that the Securities Industry will not experience system failures that will negatively and materially impact Value Line. The Company will continue to work toward compliance and urge its vendors to do the same, but because neither the Company, nor its vendors, can predict the future with certainty, Value Line is also developing a contingency plan. 9
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Contingency Planning - Y2K Value Line is in the process of finalizing contingency plans to account for the possible failure of every Mission Critical system. Whether this involves performing tasks manually, or locating alternative vendors for Mission Critical software and hardware systems, Value Line is committed to having viable contingency plans developed for every Mission Critical system by the second quarter of calendar 1999. Recent AICPA Pronouncements: The Accounting Standards Committee of the AICPA recently issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1 which requires entities to adopt uniform rules in their financial statements in accounting for the cost of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The SOP requires companies to capitalize as long-lived assets, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, many of the costs associated with developing or obtaining software for internal use to amortize those costs over the software's estimated useful life in a systematic and rational manner. Management estimates that the Company currently expenses approximately $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 of expenses each fiscal year that would qualify for amortization under the new statement. Accordingly, earnings will increase to the extent of capitalized costs (net of amortization) during the initial year of application. Thereafter, assuming capitalized costs remain constant, the increase in earnings will diminish as the initial costs are amortized. Once the amount capitalized in the first year of application is fully amortized, the increase in earnings due to this accounting change will cease. Management believes that the Company's cash and other liquid asset resources used in its business together with the future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance current and forecasted operations. Management anticipates no borrowing for the remainder of fiscal 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Revenues of $48,047,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1999 exceeded the prior year's revenues of $46,891,000 by 2.5% and set a new record high for the Company. Revenues of $23,391,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1998 were the second highest in the Company's history during any October quarter. Net earnings for the six months ended October 31, 1998, were $11,930,000, $1.20 per share as compared to net income for the six months ended October 31, 1997 of $14,874,000 or $1.49 per share. Net income of $5,421,000 or $.55 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compares to net income of $7,063,000 or $.71 per share for the similar period during fiscal 1998. Subscription revenues of $31,080,000 were $338,000 or 1.1% above revenues in the comparable prior year period. The increase from the prior year is due primarily to a 2.0% increase in revenues from The Value Line Investment Survey and related products, including revenues from new products. Revenues from investment management fees and services of $16,449,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1998, were $300,000, or 2.0%, above the prior year's revenues. The increase from the prior year is primarily the result of a 6% increase in the year-to-date average net assets in the Company's family of mutual funds. The Company also recorded revenues of $518,000 from the sale of its North Bergen, New Jersey, vacant operating facility. Operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal year 1999 were $27,474,000, $2,025,000 or 8% above last year's expenses of $25,449,000. Total advertising and promotional expenses of $7,549,000 were $679,000, or 10%, above the prior year's expenses. The increase was due largely to the additional promotional expenses for the Value Line family of Mutual Funds, including additional expenses relating to a selling arrangement for two of the equity mutual funds for which the Company is the advisor. Salaries and employee benefit expenses of $11,726,000 were 7% above the prior year's expenses of $10,997,000. The increase from the prior year's expenses is primarily the result of revisions to the salary structure in the Equity Research Department, employment of additional staff in the Asset Management division and general increases in salaries and incentive compensation. Production and distribution costs of $3,679,000 were approximately equal with expenses for the six months ended October 31, 1997. The increases in production and distribution expenses that resulted from increased circulation to new products and the additional expenses related to software and Internet maintenance have been more than offset by lower expenses in our print publications due to lower print production runs and the lower costs of producing and distributing our increasingly popular electronic products. 10
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Office and administration expenses of $4,520,000 increased $624,000, or 16%, from the prior year's level primarily as a result of increased fees for professional services and higher rent and depreciation expenses. In addition, fiscal year-to-date 1998 office and administrative expenses were reduced by proceeds of $126,000 from the settlement of an intellectual property infringement. The Company's securities portfolios produced net income of $111,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1998, a decrease of $2,954,000 from last year's net income of $3,065,000. This decrease was due primarily to a restructuring of the Company's trading portfolio which resulted in a reduction in the size of the Company's trading portfolio during the latter part of fiscal 1998. Additionally, the extreme volatility in the equities securities markets during the first five months of fiscal 1999 due to continuing weaknesses in several foreign economies, which have severely impacted the United States financial markets also contributed to the decline in income from securities. The overall equity market condition improved during the last month of the Company's second quarter period. 11
