Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.
Eerily Similar
Even a quick glance at the performance charts that accompany this column tells you all you need to know about the state of the financial markets. Stocks are down, Treasury bonds are up, and the move is dramatic for each asset class. The charts are eerily similar to the charts that accompanied my Investment Commentary in September 2002. Back then, stocks were down almost 20% during the quarter and year-to-date, while bonds were up during the same time frame.
There are other similarities, too. In 2002, the stock market had already suffered an extended decline, and 10-year US Treasury yields were at a low of 3.65%, down from over 5.50% a year earlier. Analysts were divided about the prospects for corporate profits, with “bottom-up” earnings estimates for the S&P 500 of $55, compared to “top-down” estimates of $35. In 2008 the stock market declined sharply, and 10-year US treasury yields were 2.05%, down from 4.25%. Analysts are once again divided about the prospect for corporate profits, with “bottom-up” estimates now in the range of $82 for the S&P 500 and “top-down” estimates around $54.
The events surrounding the markets back then are very similar to things that we are experiencing now. Consider the paragraph below, written at the end of September, 2002.
“Our financial markets are currently testing our resolve as investors are subjected to a seemingly endless series of setbacks. The financial news is dominated by weak corporate results, poor management, conflicts of interest by market analysts (Grubman, Meeker, Blodget), accounting scandals (Enron), and outright fraud (WorldCom). Coupled with a sluggish economy and international turmoil, it is no surprise that investors are subject to extreme emotional mood swings.”
These days, investors are not experiencing mood swings, they seem to be mired in depression. Our current troubles are much too soon on the heels of that previous meltdown, and much worse. Back then a spending binge in the technology sector, driven by Y2K fears and the build out of the internet, generated strong economic growth and inflated stock values. When spending contracted and stock valuations evaporated, the Fed drove interest rates down and the money supply up. These efforts were an attempt to minimize the pain of the contraction, but are now seen as triggering the real estate boom that contributed to our current problems. The concept of a Fed “safety net” encouraged banks and investors to underestimate risk and overextend themselves through leverage and exotic derivative securities.
So, here we are, six years post September 2002, with lower interest rates, 2.05% vs. 3.65%, higher earnings estimates, $62 vs. $35, and the S&P 500 in the midst of a bear market that has taken us close to those previous lows. We have corporate train wrecks (Bear Stearns, AIG, etc.), foolish management (Prince, Thain, Rubin, etc.), conflicts of interest (ratings agencies Moody’s, MBIA, etc.), accounting problems (sub-prime write downs), and outright fraud (Madoff).
The Manor Fund
The Manor Fund declined 20.74%, net of all fees and expenses, during the quarter ending December 31, 2008, outperforming both the S&P 500 Index and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index (-21.96% and –22.16%), respectively. The Fund continues to outperform both the S&P 500 index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index for the trailing 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods, ending December 31, 2008. The Fund had returns of –31.42%, -7.89%, and –0.37%, compared to returns for the S&P 500 index of (-37.00%, 8.36%, and –2.19%), and returns for the Lipper index of (-37.07%, -8.70%, and -2.72%), respectively.
During the 4th quarter of 2008 the Fund was helped by strong performance from Endo Pharmaceuticals, Nucor Corporation, AT&T, Inc., Citrix Systems, Inc., and Wellpoint, Inc. Endo Pharmaceuticals rose after reporting higher revenue and earnings. The company also raised its full year outlook. The stock continued to rise during the quarter due partly to its strong financial position. Nucor rose later in the quarter when the company announced better than expected earnings guidance in a very difficult operating environment. The company also benefited from investor expectations that this domestic steel company will benefit from infrastructure investment provisions in the much discussed economic stimulus package. AT&T rose, despite the uncertain economic environment, as investors valued its stable earnings stream and the expectation of continued d emand for wireless services. Citrix Systems rebounded after reporting 3rd quarter revenues and earnings above expectations, driven in part by efforts to control costs. The company also raised revenue and earnings guidance for the full year. Wellpoint also rebounded late in the quarter after an independent research report identified the company as one of the better capitalized health insurers.
Notable laggards during the 4th quarter included Prudential Financial, Amphenol, Weatherford International, Norfolk Southern, and National Oilwell Varco. Prudential declined during the quarter on investor concerns about risks in their portfolio of mortgage backed securities and variable annuity business. Amphenol fell, despite reporting revenues and earnings better than expected, on concerns that the global economic slowdown would reduce demand for the company’s electronic cables and connectors. Weatherford declined steadily throughout the quarter as declining oil prices and slowing economic growth reduced future demand for the company’s energy exploration services. Norfolk Southern declined, despite reporting revenues and earnings above expectations, as economic uncertainty raised concerns about further revenue growth. National Oilwell also suffered from investor concerns about slowing energy exploration as a result of lower oil prices and slowing economic growth.
During the quarter we sold Prudential Financial and purchased JP Morgan. We sold Prudential as concerns in the financial sector mounted, especially among entities viewed as having undisclosed financial risk. We purchased JP Morgan because the market pullback provided an opportunity to purchase this well managed financial services company at an attractive valuation. The bank has been well positioned to pick up distressed financial assets, as one of the few firms able to assist in the takeover of Bear Stearns when the financial crisis unfolded.
The Growth Fund
The Growth Fund declined 23.67%, net of all fees and expenses, during the quarter ending December 31, 2008, underperforming the S&P 500 index (-21.96%), but outperforming comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index return of (-23.74%). The Fund continues to outperform comparable mutual funds measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index for the trailing year, and since inception, with an annualized total returns of –41.12% and –3.15% for the Fund as compared to annualized returns of –41.38% and –6.69% for the Lipper index. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index for the trailing year (-41.12% vs. -37.00%) and underperformed both indices for the trailing 3-year and 5-year periods ending December 31, 2008, with annualized returns for the fund of –13.18% and –4.37%, compared to annualized returns for the S&P 500 index of –8.36% and –2.19%, and annualized returns for the Lipper index of –10.95% and –3.98%, respectively.
During the 4th quarter of 2008 the Fund was helped by the performance of Gilead Sciences, Ace Limited, Raytheon, Celgene Corp., and Genentech, Inc. Gilead, a new addition to the Fund, rose late in the quarter on investor belief that biotech companies had the potential to grow revenues in this difficult economic environment. Ace Limited rose late in the quarter because the company seemed to avoid many of the problems afflicting other financial companies. Raytheon rose steadily, after a decline early in the quarter, after reporting revenue and earnings above expectations. Celgene, another new addition, rose after the FDA approved a new drug application for a treatment targeted at patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Genentech suffered only a small decline as its shares were supported by a pending cash buyout offer of $89 per share from Roche.
Weak holdings in the portfolio included Urban Outfitters, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Schlumberger, Continental Resources, and Cummins, Inc. Urban Outfitters declined in an already weak environment for retail stocks, after the company warned that sales trends were weak during the holiday season. Thermo Fisher declined after reporting earnings in line with expectations, but lower than expected revenues. Shares also suffered later in the quarter when a competitor cut their view on orders for the current quarter. Schlumberger declined as continued weakness in oil prices raised investor concerns about energy exploration activity. Continental Resources also declined as weakness in oil prices reduced revenue expectations for this oil and natural gas exploration company. Cummins declined on investor concerns that higher energy prices and slowing global eco nomies would reduce demand for the company’s engines used in large trucks and construction equipment.
During the quarter we sold Manpower and eBay and purchased Celgene and Gilead Sciences. We sold Manpower because the global economic slowdown will make it difficult for this provider of staffing personnel to grow revenues. We also sold eBay because they are struggling to generate continued growth through their global initiatives, a fact that we believe is not reflected in the underlying estimates supporting its current stock price. We purchased Celgene and Gilead Sciences, both biotech pharmaceutical companies, because we believe that they have the potential to drive revenue and earnings growth through the marketing of new drug treatments.
The Bond Fund
The Bond Fund rose 2.38%, net of all fees and expenses, for the quarter ending December 31, 2008, underperforming the Lipper US Government mutual fund index (4.32%) and the Lehman Intermediate Government index (6.30%). For the year ending December 31, 2008, the Fund generated a return of 5.20%, underperforming the Lipper US Government mutual fund index (5.79%) and the Lehman Intermediate Government Index (11.84%). The Fund underperformed the Lipper and Lehman indices for the trailing 3-years, 5-year and since inception with returns of 4.65%, 2.88%, and 3.80% compared to returns of 5.19%, 4.28%, and 5.42% for the Lipper index and returns of 7.69%, 5.46%, and 6.08% for the Lehman index. Performance over the recent quarter reflects the relatively conservative position of the Fund’s investment portfolio of US Treasury securities. The portfolio has an average yield to ma turity of 0.53%, an average maturity of approximately 1.64 years, and an average duration of 1.60 years. The duration of a bond portfolio is a measure of risk, with a lower duration indicating a lower level of risk. The Fund is managed to provide a low-risk alternative for conservative investors.
A New Beginning
Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. If we keep relying on interest rate cuts and easy money to minimize the pain of our current problems we may only be fostering a lunacy that perpetuates the vicious economic and financial downswings that we have experienced recently. Based on what we are currently experiencing, it is hard not to be pessimistic.
On the other hand, it is also interesting that back in the Investment Commentaries of 2002 I wrote about James McPherson’s book on the Civil War, and his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. He wrote that Lincoln was widely criticized by supporters and opponents, labeled as a traitor by both radicals and conservatives, and often brutally attacked in the press. Prior to his reelection to a second term as President, he was the subject of a recall campaign by members of his own party. While he often struggled with self-doubts, his strong will and determination prevailed, and his leadership has stood the test of time.
McPherson concludes that Lincoln’s legacy was not due to a military victory, but to a series of decisions that easily could have gone the other way, and that these decisions were shaped by the very nature of our democratic government, where a strong and vigorous opposition helped to shape the outcome of many important decisions.
It occurs to me that at this time of crisis we need leadership in the political and financial sectors that is not driven by ideology or expediency. Let’s have the audacity to hope that our democratic government will shape the tough decisions to preserve and enhance the economic strength of our financial system, one that generated prosperity for our nation and its people for so many years.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris

MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization: Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is a non-diversified regulated investment company and was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on September 13, 1995. The primary investment objective of each of the Funds follows: Manor Fund - conservative capital appreciation and current income, investing primarily in common stocks of large corporations in the United States; Growth Fund - long-term capital appreciation, investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. corporations; Bond Fund - intermediate-term fixed income, investing primarily in U.S. Government obligations. The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies.
Security Valuations: Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The Board has adopted guidelines for good faith pricing, and has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Directors.
Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, subject to review by the Board of Directors. Short term investments in fixed inco me securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received by the Fund upon selling an asset or paid by the Fund to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of a principal market for the asset or liability, the assumption is that the transaction occurs on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions , also known as "inputs," to valuation techniques used by market participants to measure fair value. The term "inputs" refers 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 (such as 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 valuation techniques used to measure fair value should m aximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three levels with the highest priority given to Level 1 and the lowest priority given to Level 3: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) and Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2008 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

Federal Income Taxes: The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. FASB Interpretation No. 48 requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that based on their technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained. Management of the Funds does not believe that any adjustments were necessary to the financial statements at adoption.
Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, at year-end. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.
Other: The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized over the useful lives of the respective securities when determined to be material. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends will be provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Reclassifications: In accordance with SOP-93-2, the Growth Fund recorded a permanent book/tax difference of $29,868 from net investment loss to paid-in-capital. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement (the “agreement”) with Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), with whom certain officers and directors of the Funds are affiliated, to furnish investment management services to the Funds. Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds will pay the Advisor a monthly fee based on the Funds’ average daily net assets at the annual rate of 1.00% for Manor Fund and Growth Fund and 0.5% for Bond Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Advisor earned advisory fees from the Manor, Growth and Bond Funds of $38,156, $43,825 and $9,715 respectively.

The reimbursements from the Advisor for the Manor, Growth and Bond Funds for the year ending December 31, 2008 were, $16,865, $13,927, and $19,809 respectively.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, FASB issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Funds’ financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
of the Manor Investment Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively the “Funds”), the funds comprising the Manor Investment Funds, Inc., including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Funds as of December 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Expense Illustration |
December 31, 2008 (Unaudited) |
| | | |
Expense Example |
| | | |
As a shareholder of Manor Investment Funds, you incur ongoing costs which consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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, July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. |
| | | |
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 entitled "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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, |
which is not the Fund’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 this Fund 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. |
| | | |
| | Manor Fund | |

(“the Funds”), and President of Morris Capital Advisors, LLC, adviser to the Funds, and an Interested Director of the Funds, receives no compensation directly from the Funds.

Information pertaining to the Directors of the Fund are set forth below. The Statement of Additional Information includes additional information about the Funds’ Directors, and is available without charge, by calling 1-800-787-3334. Each director may be contacted by writing to the director c/o Manor Investment Funds, Inc., 15 Chester Commons, Malvern, PA 19355.
Approval of Management Agreement
At the July 27, 2008 the Board of Directors of the Funds discussed and reviewed the following information with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between the Funds and Morris Capital Advisors, LLC (“MCA”). MCA provides ongoing investment management for the portfolio of each Fund. In the execution of these duties MCA performs securities research, trading, and accounting for Fund portfolios. MCA also reconciles each portfolio with the Fund custodian to prevent errors in purchase and sale transactions, dividends, interest, and shareholder transactions.
The investment performance of each Fund is compared to a broad market index and comparable mutual funds. As of December 31, 2007 the Manor Fund outperformed its benchmarks for the trailing 5-year period. As of December 31, 2007 the Growth Fund outperformed the S&P 500 index for the trailing quarter, 1-year and since inception. The Growth Fund also outperformed the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index for the trailing 5-year period and since inception. The Bond Fund underperformed its benchmarks because the Fund is invested 100% in U.S. Treasury securities, with short maturities. This portfolio structure is designed to protect principal in periods of rising interest rates, and underperformed during the recent period of declining yields.
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
In addition to investment management functions, MCA handles all compliance responsibilities, monitors and reviews Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC (MSS) as transfer agent and accountant, prepares and distributes all shareholder reports, in conjunction with MSS prepares and submits all filings required by SEC rules and regulations, negotiates agreements with outside service providers, and processes all shareholder questions and requests. MCA provides these services, over and above the typical responsibilities of investment management, without compensation from the Fund. The costs of providing these services substantially reduce the net profit attributable to MCA from the sole execution of its duties under its investment advisory agreement with the Fund.
As the Funds grow, economies of scale will reduce the cost of services to the Funds, for the benefit of all Fund shareholders. These costs have increased dramatically over the last several years as the regulatory environment has become increasingly burdensome. It is expected that these increased costs will extend the point where the economies of scale will benefit shareholders, initially estimated to be when Fund assets exceed $25 million.
After this discussion the Board approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between the Funds and MCA.
