DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.
(Bad)Behavioral Finance
I have been reading the new book by Michael Lewis, “The Undoing Project”. It’s not his usual page turner, but it may provide some useful perspectives on the markets. The book is based on Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky and their studies of human decision making. They observed that people often do not make logical decisions, particularly under stress. Some of the factors that their research identified as distorting the logical decision process include risk aversion, non-linear probability weighting, and the influence of cognitive vs. social biases.
One of the most prevalent and widely acknowledged of these concepts is risk aversion. According to Kahneman and Tversky, the negative impact of a loss is 2.25 times more powerful than the positive impact of an equivalent gain. Investors in the stock market often allow their concern about short-term losses to override the knowledge that stocks generally outperform all other asset classes over longer periods. Investor risk aversion is clearly evident when I am asked if stocks are overvalued and ready for a fall. I have fielded this question with increasing regularity because investors are concerned that an external event could cause valuations to collapse, triggering a market crash. While relative valuation levels are subject to wide interpretation, and it is almost impossible to ascertain the potential impact of an external factor on valuations, the lack of certainty reinforces investor risk aversion.
The researchers also found that non-linear probability weighting is also a powerful influence on decision making. Non-linear probability causes people to over-weight small probabilities and under-weight large probabilities. When a person buys a lottery ticket, for example, they overweight the very small probability of winning a lot of money while underweighting the very high probability that they are wasting their money. Likewise, investors often overweight the possibility that they could lose all their money in a particular investment, often sacrificing attractive returns.
While both of these factors are important, their influence is magnified by cognitive and social biases. Cognitive bias works on an individual level when an investor decides not to invest in a particular stock because they have a negative image of a company or a bad experience with one of its products. While cognitive bias is very powerful on an individual level, it has only a minor influence on markets as a whole because the sum total of investor’s positive and negative cognitive biases tend to average out. Social bias is the result of news, analysis, or media influence on investor perceptions, and can create a “herd instinct” when it leverages cognitive bias in a positive or negative direction. In the financial markets, this social bias can create its own momentum, generating a feedback loop that can drive markets further from a “fair price” valuation.

Over the past year I sense that social bias has become much more influential. Media attention has focused on the negative impact of geopolitical events around the world. This drumbeat of negative experts heightens risk aversion and the tendency of investors to overweight the impact of an election or policy change. As social bias overwhelms rational decision making it becomes a recipe for bad behavioral finance.
The Manor Fund
The Manor Fund rose 6.97%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2016 underperforming the S&P 500 index return of 11.96% and comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index, return of 12.25%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index during the trailing 5-year and 10-year periods with a return of 11.22% and 5.83% for the Fund compared to 14.65% and 6.94% for the S&P 500 and 13.56% and 6.24% for the Lipper index. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index and comparable mutual funds since inception with a return of 6.03% for the Fund compared to 8.26% for the S&P 500 index and 6.37% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index.
During calendar year 2016, the Fund was helped by strong performance from Amphenol Corporation, Applied Materials, Inc., Discover Financial Services, Inc., JP Morgan Chase & Co., and Baker Hughes, Inc. The shares of Amphenol Corp. rose steadily throughout the year. The company, a designer and manufacturer of electrical, electronic, and fiber optic cable and connectors, reported revenue and earnings above expectations in every quarter except one. The shares of Applied Materials also rose steadily throughout the year. The company provides manufacturing equipment, services, and software for global semiconductor manufacturers. Applied reported solid revenue growth and earnings above expectations each quarter. The shares of Discover Financial Services traded roughly in line with the market for most of the year as the company reported earnings that were generally better than expectations. The stock jumped during the 4th quarter after the presidential election on expectations that economic growth would improve and consumer spending would accelerate. The shares of JP Morgan followed a similar pattern. The stock traded in line with the market for most of the year and then jumped after the presidential election. The company also reported revenue and earnings above expectations each quarter. The shares of Baker Hughes traded in line with the market during the first half of the year and then rose steadily. Quarterly results missed expectations in several quarters, but the shares of this oilfield services company reacted to rising oil prices and the prospect of increased energy exploration activity. The company also confirmed discussions with General Electric regarding a combination of their oilfield services businesses into a separate company.
Notable laggards during calendar year 2016 include Allergan, PLC, AmerisourceBergen, Corp., Mallinckrodt Public Ltd., CVS Health Corp., and Fortune Brands Home & Security. Four of these weak performers are in healthcare related industries. The shares of Allergan fell early in the year despite generally positive earnings reports. Much of the decline was attributable to Treasury regulations that cast doubt on the prospects of a merger with Pfizer. The stock of this pharmaceutical

SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)
company fell again later in the year after reporting quarterly revenue and earnings below expectations and lowering guidance for the fiscal year. The shares of AmerisourceBergen, a pharmacy benefits manager for corporate healthcare plans, fell during the year despite reporting earnings above expectations each quarter. Some of the weakness was due to concerns that ongoing healthcare reform would adversely impact operations, prompting a reduction in earnings guidance by the company. The shares of Mallinckrodt fell steadily during the second half of the year despite reporting revenue and earnings above expectations each quarter, and maintaining or raising earnings guidance. Much of the weakness was attributable to concerns that regulatory pricing pressure would hurt future revenue growth.
There were several merger announcements among companies in the portfolios during the 4th quarter of 2016. AT&T announced plans to acquire Time Warner Inc. in a cash and stock deal, expected to close before year-end 2017, subject to regulatory reviews. AT&T expects the deal to be accretive to earnings in the first year after the deal closes. Baker Hughes announced a combination with the oil and gas business of General Electric into a new company. Baker Hughes shareholders will receive a special dividend and equity in the new company. BE Aerospace agreed to be acquired by Rockwell Collins, receiving cash and stock. The deal is expected to close in the spring of 2017 with BE shareholders owning approximately 20% of the combined companies. Rockwell Collins expects the deal to be accretive to earnings per share in the first full fiscal year. We did not execute any portfolio transactions during the quarter, electing to defer gains in these deals until after the close of the year.
The Growth Fund
The Manor Growth Fund rose 4.49%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2016, underperforming the S&P 500 index return of 11.96% but outperforming the return of 0.48% for comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index during the trailing 5-year, and 10-year periods with returns of 12.56% and 6.31% for the Fund, compared to returns of 14.65% and 6.94% for the S&P 500 index and returns of 12.90% and 6.70% for the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index. The fund outperformed comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index since inception with a return of 4.53% for the Fund compared to 2.22% for the index, but underperformed the S&P 500 index return of 4.82%.
During calendar year 2016 the Fund was helped by strong performance from Time Warner, Inc., F5 Networks, Inc., On Semiconductor Co., Chubb Ltd., and Trimble Navigation, Ltd. The shares of Time Warner, Inc. were strong for most of the year. The company reported earnings above expectations each quarter and raised earnings guidance several times. The stock received and added boost in October when the company agreed to be acquired by AT&T in a stock and cash transaction. The shares of F5 Networks also performed well throughout the year. The company, a provider of software that improves the performance and security of network applications and servers, also reported earnings above expectations each quarter and raised earnings guidance several times. The shares

of On Semiconductor recovered from a decline early in the year and then moved higher. The initial decline was a reaction to a weak earnings announcement during the 4th quarter of the previous year, but the company then reported earnings that met or exceeded expectations each quarter. The shares of Chubb also performed well throughout the year as the company reported earnings above expectations each quarter. This financial services company now trades as the combined entity of the original Chubb and Ace Limited, and the stock received an added boost when the management reported that the merger integration was proceeding on track. The shares of Trimble Navigation continued to move higher during the year, despite several pullbacks associated with earnings announcements. The company met or exceeded earnings expectations through much of the year, but a reduction in earnings guidance twice pressured the stock. The stock managed to rally back, however, ending the year close to its recent highs.
Weaker holdings during calendar year 2016 include Gilead Sciences, Inc., Express Scripts Holdings, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Cognizant Tech Solutions, and Acuity Brands, Inc. The shares of Gilead Sciences, a biotech pharmaceutical company, fell sharply after a weak earnings report early in the year. The stock remained under pressure, despite reporting better results, as concerns about drug pricing gained attention throughout the pharmaceutical industry. The shares of Express Scripts fell sharply early in the year on investor concerns about increased competition among pharmacy benefit managers. Those fears were realized when Walgreens moved its business relationship to an Express Scripts competitor. The shares recovered somewhat after the company reported earnings that met or exceeded expectations for several quarters, but fell again late in the year when the company issued weak revenue and earnings guidance for the next fiscal year. The shares of Royal Caribbean fell sharply early in the year, pressured by concerns that an increase in oil prices would result in higher fuel costs, and concerns that slowing global growth would adversely impact demand. The stock stabilized through the balance of the year as the company reported earnings above expectations each quarter. The shares rallied somewhat during the 4th quarter after earnings were announced, but the rebound was not enough to offset the decline early in the year. The shares of Cognizant Tech Solutions performed in line with the market over the first half of the year, but then dropped sharply when the company announced that it was conducting an internal investigation into payments relating to facilities in India that might violate the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The stock rebounded later in the year, but not enough to offset the earlier decline. The shares of Acuity Brands fell sharply early in the year, but then rallied to new highs after a strong mid-year earnings report. The stock fell again early in the 4th quarter after the company reported both revenue and earnings that were lower than expectations.
There were several merger announcements during the 4th quarter of 2016 among companies in this portfolio, as well. Harman International agreed to be acquired by Samsung in an all cash deal at a substantial premium. The deal must be approved by Harman shareholders, but is expected to close by mid-2017. Time Warner also agreed to be acquired by AT&T in a cash and stock deal. Time Warner shares jumped on the deal announcement and continued to rise as AT&T shares moved upward. The transaction requires regulatory approval and may not close until late in 2017. We expect to book profit from each of these portfolio holdings before the deals close.

The Bond Fund
The Manor Bond Fund generated a return of -1.26%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2016, underperforming the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index return of 1.06% and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index return of 1.40%. The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index during the trailing 5-year and 10-year periods with returns of -0.49% and 0.98% for the Fund, compared to 1.38% and 3.59% for the Barclay Intermediate Treasury index, and 1.27% and 3.66% for the Lipper US Government mutual fund index. The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index and the Lipper US Government index since inception with a return of 1.94% for the Fund compared to 4.18% for the Bloomberg Barclay index and 4.33% for the Lipper index. Performance over these periods reflects the relatively conservative position of the Fund’s investment portfolio of US Treasury securities. The Fund is managed to provide a low-risk alternative for conservative investors.
Managing Investor Stress
Kahneman and Tversky observed that risk aversion, non-linear probability, and cognitive or social biases tend to distort the logical decision making process to a greater degree during periods of stress. And if there is one thing that we can all agree upon, it is that stress levels are elevated due to the explosion of social media and the tendency of individuals to self-select sources that support their preferred points of view. Right now, it is probably more important to resist the urge to over-react to external market events, and focus on limiting the impact of those behavioral factors that can so easily distort the important logical decision making process.
We recognize that we are also subject to the same behavioral factors that impact decision making and believe that the best way to minimize their impact is to employ an analytical discipline that can guide us. Our investment process starts with an objective assessment of corporate earnings, growth, and cash flow to identify companies whose stock is trading at an attractive valuation compared to the market and their peers. Our goal is to build a diversified portfolio managed with a long-term investment horizon. We recognize that there may be times when market stress may not reward our analytical approach, but we know that over time our disciplined process will provide the best opportunity to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization: Manor Investment Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Business Trust, (effective January 1, 2012) comprising of Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively the “Funds”), and is an open-end management investment company. The Trust was originally incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on September 13, 1995 and was dissolved by domestication in Pennsylvania on January 3, 2012. The primary investment objective of each of the Funds follows: Manor Fund – long-term capital appreciation and moderate level of 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 - current income, investing primarily in U.S. Government obligations.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 2.
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. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2013-2015) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2016 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positons for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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, annually. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.
Other: The Funds follow industry practice and record 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.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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 those estimates.
Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
2. SECURITIES VALUATIONS
Processes and Structure
The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
·
Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.
·
Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2016
of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Fair Value Measurements
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities (common stocks). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in level 2.
U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value each Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2016:

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. Compliance with the guidance is required for financial statements filed with the SEC on or after August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact the amendments will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
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, 2016 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. The Funds were not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, 2016, 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 Example
As a shareholder of Manor Investment Funds, you incur ongoing costs which consist of management fees and administrative 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, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
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 the 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 each 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 these Funds 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.
