Note 18 - Business Segments:

 

The Publishing business segment, the Company's only reportable segment subsequent to December 23, 2010, produces investment periodicals and related publications (retail and institutional) in both print and digital form, and includes Value Line copyrights and Value Line Proprietary Ranks and other proprietary information. 

 

As described in Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company deconsolidated its investment management business on December 23, 2010 and therefore no longer reports the investment management operation as a separate business unit.  Although VLI continues to receive significant cash flows from these operations through its non-controlling investment in EAM, it no longer considers this to be a reportable business segment due to its lack of control over the operating and financial policies of EAM.
