Re: Rule 24f-2 Registration of Shares
Gentlemen:
I am familiar with the proceedings taken by Value Line Centurion Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), in connection with the registration
and sale of shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share, under the
Securities Act of 1933 and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 24f-2 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as described and set forth
in its Registration Statement on Form N-1A and in the Prospectus constituting a
part of said Registration Statement.
I have examined such corporate records of the Fund and other documents and
considered such questions of law as I have considered necessary as a basis for
this opinion. Specifically, I have examined a "Rule 24f-2 Notice" dated
February 5, 1996 signed by your Assistant Treasurer, and a certificate of the
Assistant Treasurer which states that of the 5,179,470 shares issued during the
year ending December 31, 1995 (excluding 604,799 issued in reinvestment of
dividends), 5,167,218 of such shares were fully paid as of such date and 12,252
shares were recorded on the books of the Fund as issued but payment for those
shares had not been made and was not yet due in the ordinary course of your
business.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the shares of the Fund
described in the Notice, the registration of which is made definite by the
filing of the Notice, were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I consent to this opinion accompanying the Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Peter D. Lowenstein
