Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.
The Catch-22 Market
The satirical novel Catch-22, by Joseph Heller, exposed the absurdity of bureaucratic systems, especially in the military. The main theme of the book, and its characters, provide so much material for comparison to our investment markets that I’m not sure where to begin. First, there is the “Catch-22” itself, which, simply stated, is that combat pilots could only be relieved from flying more missions if they were crazy. But as soon as they requested to be relieved of missions they had to be judged to be sane, because only a crazy person would want to fly more missions. Or consider poor Yossarian, the main character, who tries to make sense of the absurdity while his bunk mate, Orr, constantly disassembles and reassembles the intricate parts of the heater in their tent. Orr seems completely inept in his seemingly futile attempt to get the heater workin g and in his tendency to crash in the ocean at the end of just about every mission.
Our investment “Catch-22” is that no sane person would want to pass up a market juiced by all the economic stimulus spending of the past year to invest in bonds and money markets with yields at historical lows. But it also seems crazy to invest in a stock market that faces so much uncertainty after a 65% rebound from the lows. Just as Yossarian struggles with the “Catch-22” throughout the book, our investment “Catch-22” seems equally frustrating.
After teetering on the brink of complete financial meltdown less than a year ago, we find ourselves in the odd position of riding a “bull market”. While some portion of the market move is a rebound from panic lows, that alone is not enough to explain the surprising strength of stocks throughout the second half of the year. It is true that many companies have reported earnings above expectations, but much of the earnings rebound is due to aggressive cost cutting and not top-line revenue growth. The stock market will need real economic growth to continue the upward trend, and it is not necessarily crazy to suggest that better economic growth is a real possibility. Some might argue that the impact of the economic stimulus package enacted early last year is just beginning, and that additional spending in the Federal budget will also have an impact. Certainly, the massive injection of liquidity from the Fed and US Treasury, and the efforts to keep interest rates artificially low, will reduce financing costs for many businesses. It is not crazy to think that all these efforts will help turn an economic bounce into more sustainable growth.
On the other hand, only a crazy person would commit money to a market that seems overextended after a huge run-up, while facing an economy with high unemployment, limited job growth, and the prospect of rising interest rates. It is clearly evident that a significant portion of the recent upturn was driven by rebounds in companies thought to be on the verge of bankruptcy, only to be saved by government bailouts and guarantees. While some of the previous sell-off was overdone, it is hard to imagine that our fragile economy will gain strength as government support wanes and interest rates begin to rise. An economic rebound will also face headwinds from the prospect of a dramatic increase in borrowing needs to support all the government spending, unemployment over 10% with no real signs of turning around, retail sales substantially below their peak in 2007, and a morib und real estate market. There must be some rational explanation, but, like Yossarian, it escapes me at the moment.
The Manor Fund
The Manor Fund rose 5.63%, net of all fees and expenses, during the quarter ending December 31, 2009, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (6.04%) but outperforming comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index (5.52%). The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 index for the trailing year (26.83% for the fund vs. 26.46% for the index) and continues to outperform both the S&P 500 index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index for the trailing 3-year and 5-year periods, ending December 31, 2009, with annualized returns of –3.21%, and 1.86%, compared to S&P 500 index returns of -5.63% and 0.41% and Lipper index returns of –4.91% and 0.61%.
During the 4th Quarter of 2009, the Fund was helped by strong performance from Amphenol Corp., Norfolk Southern Corp., Walt Disney Company, Goodrich Corp., and WellPoint, Inc. Amphenol rose steadily throughout the quarter after reporting revenue and earnings above expectations, and raising guidance for revenue and earnings in the upcoming quarter. Norfolk Southern also rose steadily after reporting earnings above expectations on in-line revenues. The company also reported that the operating ratio, a measure of the efficiency of their operations, was higher compared to the same quarter last year. Disney rose throughout the quarter after reporting revenue and earnings better than expectations. The company generated strong revenue gains from its Media Network and Interactive Media business units. Goodrich rose steadily after reporting higher earnings despite a d ecline in revenues. The earnings results were better than expected, and the company got a boost from the belief that the commercial aerospace industry will improve by mid-year 2010, and that production for the Boeing 787 will gain momentum. WellPoint also rose throughout the quarter after reporting earnings exceeding expectations, despite the fact that revenue and earnings were both lower than the same quarter last year.
Notable laggards during the 4th quarter included CVS Caremark, Weatherford International, Endo Pharmaceutical, JP Morgan, and Chubb Corp. CVS Caremark fell sharply after reporting earnings slightly better than expectations. The shares were hit when the company also announced that they expected enrollment declines in Medicare Part D participants and the loss of several pharmacy-benefit contracts in its recently acquired Caremark Division. Weatherford declined sharply through mid-December despite reporting earnings in line with expectations. The share decline was driven by concerns about a fall in exploration activity. The stock rebounded late in the quarter, boosted by higher oil prices and the prospect of improved economic activity. Endo declined sharply in December after receiving a letter from the FDA regarding a new drug application for AVEED, citing conce rns about adverse side effects from the treatment. JP Morgan declined throughout the quarter, despite reporting revenue and earnings above expectations, results above the same quarter last year, and announcing their intention to repay government TARP money. The shares are up far more than the market since the bottom in March, and probably suffered as a result of the previous outperformance. Chubb fell despite reporting earnings significantly above expectations and raising earnings guidance for the full year. Shares were hurt by a slight fall in revenues, but also by the fact shares of this conservatively managed insurance company were resilient throughout the recent financial crisis.
During the quarter we sold our position in CVS Caremark and reinvested the proceeds in Amerisource Bergen. CVS struggled after its acquisition of Caremark, a pharmacy-benefits manager. The company recently reported that enrollment in its Medicare Part D plans could drop by 30% in 2010. Amerisource Bergen, a well managed competitor, has strong cost controls and a better product mix than CVS. It is better positioned for an uncertain economic environment with strong cash flow and no debt repayments scheduled for several years.
The Growth Fund
The Growth Fund rose 8.50%, net of all fees and expenses, during the quarter ending December 31, 2009, outperforming both the S&P 500 index (6.04%), and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index (7.28%). The Fund also outperformed both the S&P 500 index and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index for the trailing year and since inception, with returns of 39.11% and 0.24%, compared to an returns of 26.46% and –0.20% for the S&P 500 index and 38.50% and –3.12%, for the Lipper index.
During the 4th quarter of 2009 the Fund was helped by gains in MasterCard, Inc., DirecTV Group, Oracle Corporation, Harris Corporation, and Apple, Inc. MasterCard rose steadily after reporting earnings well above expectations, and revenue higher than the same quarter last year. DirecTV rose after reporting revenue and earnings above last year. Investors seemed to overlook reported results that were below analyst expectations. Oracle also rose after reporting revenue and earnings higher than last year, and above analyst expectations. The company also reported that new license revenue rose during the quarter and raised earnings guidance for the current quarter. Harris continued its strong stock performance since mid-year. The company announced an acquisition during the quarter, expanding its services in the federal government healthcare IT market. T he company also announced revenue and earnings above expectations, better than the same quarter last year, and raised revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal year 2010. Apple handily beat revenue and earnings expectations, continuing a long streak of excellent operating results. The company also reported an increase in iPhone and iPod sales.
Weak holdings in the portfolio included GameStop, ACE Limited, Gilead Sciences, Baker Hughes, Inc., and Airgas, Inc. GameStop fell twice during the quarter, despite reporting higher revenue compared to the same quarter last year and earnings above expectations. Shares fell initially on a report from an industry group indicating a decline in video-game software sales, and then again after Wal-Mart announced price cuts for video games during the holiday season. ACE Limited, also fell despite reporting earnings better that expectations, increasing book value, and higher return on equity. This insurance company is also one of a small group in the financial services industry that avoided much of the problems of the recent financial crisis. Gilead Sciences fell despite reporting revenue and earnings above expectations and substantially above prior year levels. Shar es recovered only to fall again later in the quarter after a Phase III clinical trial for a new drug did not meet primary endpoints. Baker Hughes fell during the quarter after reporting revenue and earnings below expectations and lower rig counts compared to last year. The company did state that exploration activity was showing signs of increasing. Airgas declined after reporting earnings above expectations on revenue that was disappointing. Investors were also disappointed with a lack of improvement in earnings guidance.
During the quarter we tendered our shares of Schering-Plough to Merck and then sold the Merck shares after they subsequently ran up, using the proceeds to buy Abbott Labs. The Schering-Plough/Merck transactions enabled us to make a nice profit on the merger premium for Schering-Plough and then\m an additional profit on the run-up of Merck shares after the acquisition was completed. The pop in Merck shares provided an excellent opportunity to take profits on a somewhat overvalued stock and reinvest in Abbott Labs at a much more reasonable valuation.
The Bond Fund
The Bond Fund generated a return of –0.80% for the trailing year ending December 31, 2009, outperforming the Barclays Intermediate Treasury Index (-1.85%) but underperforming the Lipper US Government mutual fund index (3.30%). Performance reflects the relatively conservative position of the Fund’s investment portfolio of US Treasury securities. The portfolio has an average yield to maturity of 0.78%, an average maturity of approximately 1.37 years, and an average duration of 1.34 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.
Orr’s Crazy Is Like A Fox
Yossarian becomes more and more frustrated with the absurdity around him while the bumbling Orr continues to assemble and reassemble the intricate heater parts without success, and repeatedly crashes his plane into the ocean. Finally, Orr disappears after another crash, but, to Yossarian’s amazement, the heater works perfectly. Yossarian finally comes to appreciate Orr’s obsession with fixing the heater, and enjoys the benefit of his friend’s work. But Orr’s genius is truly revealed when Yossarian learns that Orr escaped the war to return home after his final crash. Yossarian realized too late that Orr’s crash landings were his means to identify the best place in the ocean to find tidal currents that would aid his escape.
While the economic uncertainties confronting us today are more pronounced than many times in the past, we continue to believe that the basic fundamental rationale for solid long-term investment success remains the same. We believe that well managed companies with solid balance sheets, strong earnings, and the capability to grow will be successful. We also believe that our disciplined investment process focused on a search for attractively valued companies among the group with the above characteristics is the best way to assemble a portfolio that can generate consistent long-term investment returns. We focus on that disciplined process every day in an effort to achieve that goal.
So, while we are very concerned about the long-term impact of the financing needs for all the economic stimulus to this point, it would be a mistake to become so obsessed with the macro environment that we overlook the potential within the market. Like Orr, we need to focus on the workings of the many individual companies that make up the overall market, and inspect each one in an effort to identify its true value. That discipline, applied consistently, should enable us to assemble a portfolio of companies that work together as a unit. The portfolio may sputter at times and not each position will be successful, but it is the best way to achieve long-term success.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: | |
| | | | | | |
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. | | |
| | | | | | |
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an active market, price for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| | | | | | |
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available,representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
| | | | | | |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
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.
Accounting Policy: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued FASB ASC 105 (formerly FASB Statement No. 168), The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification™” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (“ASC 105”). ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative.
Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB's Codification project, but it will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes will have a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund has implemented the Codification as of December 31, 2009.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds 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 evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 3 tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend 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 Funds follow 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 Funds’ 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 $13,837 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. Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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, 2009, 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, 2009, 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, 2009 (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, 2009 through December 31, 2009. |
| | | |
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. |

Approval of Management Agreement
At a meeting held by the Directors on June 16, 2009, the Directors reviewed and discussed the following with respect to the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Funds and Morris Capital Advisors, LLC. Morris Capital Advisors, LLC (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, 2008 the Manor Fund outperformed both the S&P 500 index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index during the most recent quarter, trailing year, trailing 3 years and trailing 5 years. As of December 31, 2008 the Growth Fund outperformed the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index during the most recent quarter, trailing year, 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.
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.
During the most recent year the assets under management in the funds declined sharply, primarily due to the decline in the domestic stock markets. This decline reduced the accruals applicable to payment of the operating expenses of the funds. As a consequence, Morris Capital Advisors waived or reimbursed the Fund $50,601 from its investment management fees to maintain the maximum expense ratio of the Manor and Growth fund at 1.50% of net assets, and the Bond Fund at 1.00% of net assets. If assets rebound, 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.
