SHAREHOLDER LETTER
DECEMBER 31, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.
Catch-22 Revisited
The satirical novel by Joseph Heller, Catch-22, exposed the absurdity of bureaucratic systems, especially in the military. The novel, set during World War II, revolves around the experiences of Captain John Yossarian, a B-25 bombardier in the fictional 256th Squadron, who desperately wants to finish his tour of duty and get home safely. The “Catch-22” is the logical absurdity that the only way to get out of flying more combat missions is to be crazy, but since only a crazy person would want to fly more missions, anyone asking to be relieved of flying cannot be crazy and therefore must fly more missions.
I previously used the Catch-22 to describe the markets in December 2009. Stocks were riding a wave of economic stimulus, up substantially from the lows set during the financial crisis of the previous year. Given this impressive move, there were real concerns that the markets were overextended, that investors were overestimating the potential for an economic rebound, and that interest rates were poised to rise due to a massive increase in government borrowing. Now, eight years later, the S&P 500 is up more than 140% from those levels and we are confronted with a similar quandary.
Those who think that it might be crazy to invest in this market can look at history as a guide. The stock market has been on an unprecedented streak. Since the end of 2009 it has been a steady ride upwards, with only a couple of corrections of 10%, and the most recent of those corrections was almost two years ago. The rally has outpaced economic growth, taking valuations well beyond the levels where we started. In December of 2009 the normalized PE ratio of the S&P 500 was just over 15, with expected earnings growth of 10.7%, and a price to cash flow multiple of 12. Now, those same measures are a PE of more than 23, with similar expected earnings, and a price to cash flow over 20. In addition, the total stock market today stands at 150% of GDP, a level that historically portends trouble. Investor optimism also seems exuberant with volatility measures at all-time lows and crypto-currencies generating astounding gains driven by speculative fervor.
Those who think that it is not crazy to invest in stocks right now can make a compelling case, as well. First, and foremost, is the belief that the economy is gaining momentum after the anemic recovery from the financial crisis, creating jobs without sparking excessive wage growth or inflation. This limits the upward pressure on interest rates and allows the Fed to be cautious as it continues to normalize rates and trim its balance sheet, reducing the chance of derailing the recovery. While there is concern that shrinking central bank balance sheets will remove a source of liquidity, sovereign wealth funds have continued to buy stocks, in many cases using leverage to enhance returns. These purchases have increased on a pace where the investment arms of Norway and the

DECEMBER 31, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
Swiss National Bank hold significant positions in our stock markets and show no sign of letting up. Continued buying pressure from index fund investors and defined contribution plans also provide a steady flow of cash into the stock market, and investors who have stubbornly remained on the sidelines have cash balances that could eventually push stocks higher, or come in to “buy the dip” in the event of a pullback.
The Manor Fund
The Manor Fund rose 21.67%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2017, underperforming the S&P 500 index return of 21.83% and comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index return of 21.72%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index and comparable mutual funds during the trailing 5-year and 10-year periods with annualized returns of 13.87%, and 7.48% for the Fund compared to annualized returns of 15.79%, and 8.50% for the S&P 500 index, and returns of 14.82%, and 7.66% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index.
During the year ending December 31, 2017, the Fund was helped by strong performance from Avery Dennison Corp., D.R. Horton, Inc., Applied Materials, Microsoft Corporation, and Valero Energy Corp. The shares of Avery Dennison rose steadily throughout the year. The stock jumped in January when the company reported revenue and earnings above expectations and raised earnings guidance for the fiscal year. Management attributed the improved expectations to organic growth and margin expansion driven by growth in high value product categories and efficient execution. The company continued to execute throughout the year and reported earnings above expectations each quarter, pushing the stock higher. The shares of D.R. Horton also rose throughout the year, but the move upward accelerated in the final quarter. The company reported earnings slightly above expectations each quarter, driven partially by improvement in homebuilding activity. The rally late in the year followed a 25% increase in the dividend and reflected investor expectations that stronger economic growth would contribute to further improvement in the real estate market. Applied Materials also reported earnings above expectations each quarter. The shares of this maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment moved higher for most of the year, but suffered a decline late in the year as concerns surfaced about a slowdown among semiconductor manufacturers. The stock stabilized, moved back up, ending the year close to the highs. The shares of Microsoft also rose steadily throughout the year, but moved sharply higher after the company reported 3rd quarter results. The company reported revenue and earnings above expectations and strong revenue growth. The results were driven by their Business Processes and Intelligent Cloud services group, two business segments that are considered to be important to future results for the company. The shares of Valero Energy began a strong rally mid-year coinciding with a rise in the price of oil. Valero is an oil refiner and can be hurt by higher feedstock costs as oil prices rise. In this case, the rising price of oil, combined with higher demand, contributed to strong year-over-year revenue growth, and earnings above expectations over the final two quarter of the year.

DECEMBER 31, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
Notable laggards during the year ending December 31, 2017 include Signet Jewelers, Allergan PLC, Kroger Company, Mallinckrodt PLC, and Baker Hughes, Inc. The shares of Signet Jewelers fell sharply early in the year when the company lowered guidance due to weak holiday, sales as compared to the previous year. The weak results were driven primarily by disappointing sales in their e-commerce division. We sold our position in the company, and while the shares rebounded somewhat, they fell back to close near the lows at year-end. The shares of Allergan fell during the second half of the year. The company reported earnings better than expected in each of the last two quarters, but the shares were pressured by concerns about the expiration of patent protection on a key drug. The stock was also hurt by weakness in Teva Pharmaceuticals. Allergan holds a 10% interest in Teva that was acquired when Allergan sold its generic business to Teva. The shares of Teva have been extremely weak creating a drag on Allergan which is required to hold their shares for at least a year under the sale agreement. The shares of Kroger fell sharply mid-year. The initial drop was due to a weak earnings report when the company reduced earnings guidance for the fiscal year, projecting sales growth to be flat to up 1%. The stock was hit again the following day when Amazon announced the acquisition of Whole Foods, a major competitor. The merger raised concerns that Amazon would pressure margins in an industry that historically experienced very low operating margins. The stock stabilized and moved higher later in the year, but not enough to offset the earlier declines. The shares of Mallinkrodt were weak early in the year despite reporting earnings above expectations for several quarters. Much of the weakness was attributable to concerns about weak top-line growth for this manufacturer of generic and branded pharmaceuticals. We sold the stock which subsequently fell sharply in the final quarter, closing the year close to the lows.
The Growth Fund
The Manor Growth Fund rose 25.17%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2017, outperforming the S&P 500 index return of 21.83% but underperforming comparable mutual funds, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index, return of 31.61%. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index during the trailing 5-year and 10-year periods with returns of 14.82%, and 8.07% for the Fund compared to returns of 15.79%, and 8.50% for the index and underperformed the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index returns of 15.87%, and 8.15% over the same time periods. The Fund continues to outperform the Lipper Large-Cap Growth index since inception with an annualized return of 5.56% for the Fund compared to 3.62% for the index.
During the calendar year ending December 31, 2017 the Fund was helped by strong performance from Apple, Inc., Constellation Brands, ON Semiconductor, Amazon.com, Inc., and IPG Photonics Corporation. The shares of Apple jumped early in the year when the company reported earnings that were better than expected. The stock continued to move upward throughout the year as the company outperformed earnings expectations during each successive quarter. The shares of Constellation Brands also rose steadily throughout the year. The company reported earnings above expectations each quarter, raised earnings guidance several times, and increased their dividend by 30%. The results

were driven by solid revenue growth in the beer division, and the wine and spirits businesses. During the year Constellation also acquired a minority stake in a well-respected privately held Canadian company that provides medicinal cannabis products. The shares of ON Semiconductor traded in a narrow range through the first half of the year. The shares then rallied sharply for much of the second half driven by strong operating results and investor expectations that stronger economic growth would stimulate demand for semiconductors. The company reported earnings above expectations each quarter and raised earnings guidance on several occasions. The shares of Amazon rose steadily early in the year but the uptrend accelerated in the second half. The upward move in the second half was triggered by what many would describe as a “blowout” earnings report. The company reported strong revenue growth and earnings well above expectations. The report renewed investor belief that Amazon could generate strong positive earnings even as it continued to invest aggressively in expanding into new industries. The shares of IPG Photonics rose steadily through much of the year driven by strong revenue growth, earnings better than expectations, and rising earnings guidance. The shares suffered a significant correction in November when concerns rippled through the technology hardware manufacturers, but stabilized and moved slightly higher to recover some of the decline.
Notable laggards during the year ending December 31, 2017 include Acuity Brands, Alexion Pharmecuticals, F5 Networks, Michael Kors, and Walgreens Boots Aliance. The shares of Acuity Brands fell early in the year following two successive weak earnings reports. The company reported revenue and earnings that were below expectations and management expressed concerns about continued softness in demand through the remainder of the fiscal year. We sold the shares to avoid the potential for additional weakness in the stock. The shares of Alexion fell early in the quarter, coinciding with general weakness in the shares of biotech companies. The decline was somewhat more pronounced in the shares of Alexion because a recent rally in the shares raised concerns that the stock had rallied beyond operating expectations. Those fears were allayed somewhat when the company later reported revenue in line with expectations, earnings better than expectations, and reaffirmed revenue and earnings guidance. The stock rebounded somewhat, but not enough to offset the selloff earlier in the quarter. The shares of F5 Networks fell early in the year when the company reported earnings above expectations but anemic tip-line revenue growth. Weakness in the stock persisted when the company announced disappointing operating results over the next two quarters. F5 missed earnings expectations each time and reduced revenue and earnings guidance, primarily due to continued soft demand in Europe. The shares of Michael Kors fell early in the year after a weak quarterly report in which the company reported top-line revenue below expectations, weak year-over-year revenue growth, and reduced both revenue and earnings expectations. The report followed a string of weak quarterly results and indications that customer traffic has stagnated for this fashion accessory and apparel company.

The Bond Fund
The Manor Bond Fund generated a return of –0.11, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2017, underperforming the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate US Treasury index return of 1.14% and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index return of 1.93%. 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 -0.55%, and 0.34% for the Fund, compared to 1.30%, and 2.82% for the Barclay Intermediate Treasury index, and 1.05% and 3.21% for the Lipper US Government mutual fund index. Performance over these periods reflects the relatively conservative position of the Fund’s investment portfolio of US Treasury securities. The Fund is managed as a low-risk alternative for conservative investors.
Additional Rational Support
In addition, we believe that stocks will continue to react favorably from the dual benefits of tax reform and reduced regulation, both of which have a real long-term impact. Stocks gained strength last year as regulations were rolled back, and the regulatory rollback should continue this year. Now, with the passage of tax reform, take home pay for most workers will rise which should translate into increased spending or investing. In addition, corporations are announcing new employment and investment initiatives, reinvesting tax reform benefits back into the economy. Analysts have responded by raising profit expectations, and the combination of stronger economic growth and improved profitability will provide fundamental support for stocks. Companies that generate top line revenue growth and translate that growth into stronger earnings and cash flow provide excellent investment opportunities. The goal of our investment process is to invest in those companies at attractive valuations in a diversified portfolio with a long term investment horizon. It is a conservative approach that can generate reasonable returns and maintain your sanity.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
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 their taxable income to the shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they 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 (2014-2016) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2017 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions 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 their shareholders substantially all of their 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
36
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2017
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
37
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2017
models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination 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 and real estate investment trusts). 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, 2017:

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Advisory Agreement

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and
Board of Trustees of the
Manor Investment Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively the "Funds"), comprising the Manor Investment Funds, including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2017, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Manor Investment Funds as of December 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of December 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
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.
