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 (2014-2017) 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 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 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
20
MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
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 June 30, 2018:

* The Growth Fund utilized $300,223 and $1,676 of short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
Ordinary income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 was as follows:
| | | |
| Manor Fund | Growth Fund | Bond Fund |
| 12/31/17 | 12/31/17 | 12/31/17 |
Ordinary Income | $ 84,862 | $ 3,318 | $ 5,031 |
Long-term Gain | $ — | $ 63,995 | $ — |
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Manor, Growth, and Bond Funds did not pay a distribution.
6. INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
The Trustees confirmed that they had received and evaluated such information as they deemed necessary to make their decision. They also noted that they had taken into account a number of factors that they believed to be relevant, including information that had been provided by the Advisor to the Trustees throughout the year at regular quarterly meetings, as well as information that was specifically furnished to the Board in connection with its review of the management agreements.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
The Trustees reviewed the nature, quality and scope of current and anticipated services provided by the Investment Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also analyzed the Investment Advisor's experience and the capabilities of the staff of the Investment Advisor. For example, the Trustees reviewed and discussed the Investment Advisor's Form ADV and internal compliance policies, as well as the experience of the Investment Advisor as investment advisor or sub-advisor to several investment programs sponsored by major brokerage firms, and direct investment advisory client relationships. In addition to the above considerations, the Trustees reviewed and considered a description of the Investment Advisor's portfolio and brokerage transactions. Based on this review, the Trustees concluded that the range and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Advisor to the Fund were appropriate and continued to support its original selection of the Investment Advisor.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
The Trustees considered the Advisor’s investment performance during his tenure managing this Fund. The Trustees considered fund performance over the most recent quarter along with annual performances for trailing 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 10-year periods, as well as performance since inception for each of the Funds. The Trustees considered both short-term and long-term performance, and the nature of the investment markets, with an emphasis on long-term performance and the potential for the Advisor to produce comparable performance in future periods. They noted that the Manor Fund underperformed its peer group, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index, but outperformed the S&P 500 index during quarter ending December 31, 2017. The fund underperformed both its peer group and the S&P 500 index during the trailing 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods, ending December 31, 2017. The fund also underperformed both the peer group and the S&P 500 index since inception, as of December 31, 2017. They noted that the Manor Growth Fund underperformed both its peer group, as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index and the S&P 500 index during the quarter ending December 31, 2017. The fund underperformed its peer group during the trailing 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods, but outperformed this same index since inception, as of December 31, 2017. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 index during the trailing year, but underperformed this same index during the trailing 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods, and since inception, as of December 31, 2017. They noted that the Manor Bond Fund underperformed its peer group as measured by the Lipper US Government mutual fund index, and underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay Intermediate Government index, during the quarter ending December 31, 2017. They noted that the Fund underperformed both of these indices during the trailing 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods ending December 31, 2017. The Trustees recognized that this performance was consistent with the very short maturity profile of the Fund, designed to protect principal in a rising interest rate environment. Based on this review, the Trustees concluded that the current and historical performance of the Fund, as managed by the Investment Advisor, was satisfactory.

COST OF SERVICES TO THE FUND AND PROFITABILITY OF ADVISOR
The Trustees noted the gross and net operating expense ratio of the funds, including the fee for the investment advisor was 1.25% for the Manor Fund, 0.99% for the Growth Fund, and 0.95% for the Bond Fund. This compares to average expense ratios for the peer groups for each fund of 1.02% for 1,420 funds in the Large-Cap Core category, 1.16% for 1,450 funds in the Large-Cap Growth category, and 0.91% for 265 funds in the Government Bond fund category. The Trustees believe that the expense ratios are justified due to the Advisor’s proprietary stock selection process, which includes constant monitoring of thousands of public companies and the, the administrative services provided by the Adviser, and the Advisor’s efforts to increase visibility of the Fund and attract additional assets. The Trustees also noted that a “unified fee” structure provides greater flexibility to reduce the expense ratio when the opportunity arises.
The Trustees noted that the Advisor appeared profitable for the period despite the fact that the Advisor waived certain management fees and provided administrative functions for the Funds over and above their role as investment advisor.
The Trustees considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Investment Advisor from the fee payable under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered the increasing use by investor’s of the brokerage industry’s No Transaction Fee (NTF) programs and its potential increasing percentage of the Fund’s assets. The potential impact of the added costs of these programs on the Advisor’s fees is discussed below in the section titled “Economies of Scale”.
In addition, the Trustees reviewed the current financial condition of the Investment Advisor and a summary of total expense ratios and management fees. The Trustees also discussed the existence of other compensation arrangements with the Investment Advisor. Based on this review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund's advisory fee is competitive with those of comparable funds and that the Investment Advisor's profit margin was reasonable.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Trustees received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for the realization of any further economies of scale. The Trustees also considered that future inflows may increasingly come through the brokerage industry No Transaction Fee (NTF) programs. The Advisor pays the costs to the brokers for the NTF programs. Two major brokers Charles Schwab and Fidelity charge 0.40% on these assets which reduce the management fees to the advisor to the extent that they are not covered by the Shareholder Services fee. The Trustees noted that the Funds could realize additional economies of scale as the Fund grows.
CONCLUSIONS
The Trustees who are non-interested persons met separately to further discuss the performance of the Fund and the Advisor's compensation. On the basis of its review, and the foregoing information, the Trustees determined that the Advisory Agreement, including the advisory fee payable there under, continued to be fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Advisory Agreement.
