ITEM 1: REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
Manning & Napier Fund, Inc.
Overseas Series
Semi-Annual Report
April 30, 2007
Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,177.00 | $4.48 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,020.68 | $4.16 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.83%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Overseas Series (the "Series") is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series' investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of issuers from outside the United States.
The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 1.7 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2007, 1.26 billion shares have been designated in total among 21 series, of which 50 million have been designated as Overseas Series Class A common stock.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund's pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund's pricing service may be valued at fair value. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund's Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund's Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Federal Taxes
The Series' policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Series' average daily net assets.
12
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series' organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are "affiliated persons" of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each "non-affiliated" Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2008, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.95% of average daily net assets each year. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Advisor did not waive its management fee or reimburse any expenses of the Series. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund's shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
For fund accounting and transfer agent services, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee of 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $900 million, 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $900 million and $1.5 billion, and 0.04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $1.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense. The Advisor has an agreement with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”) under which BISYS serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.
4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, purchases and sales of securities, other than United States Government securities and short-term securities, were $72,353,368 and $30,640,304, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States Government securities.

5. CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in shares of Overseas Series were:
| For the Six Months | For the Year |
| Ended 4/30/07 | Ended 10/31/06 |
| Shares | Amount | Shares | Amount |
Sold | 1,864,685 | $52,043,630 | 3,200,190 | $77,121,998 |
Reinvested | 89,581 | 2,471,536 | 5,980 | 127,802 |
Repurchased | (21,096) | (603,701) | (5,256) | (123,190) |
Total | 1,933,170 | $53,911,465 | 3,200,914 | $77,126,610 |
At April 30, 2007, the retirement plan of the Advisor and its affiliates owned 104,767 shares of the Series (2.0% of shares outstanding) valued at $3,210,061. In addition, three shareholders owned 4,390,046 shares of the Series (84.3% of shares outstanding) valued at $134,511,009. Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Series.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Series may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2007.
7. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the United States Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the United States Government.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series' net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended October 31, 2006 were as follows:
Ordinary income | $42,577 |
Long-term capital gains | 85,808 |

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (continued)
At April 30, 2007, the identified cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $137,709,874 |
| |
Unrealized appreciation | $20,761,634 |
Unrealized depreciation | (802,710) |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation | $19,958,924 |
9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance for how an entity should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. FIN 48 needs to be implemented no later than the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on the Series’ financial statements.
In addition, in September 2006, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) was issued, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair value methods and applications. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157, but it is not expected to materially impact the Series’ financial statements.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) annual in-person meeting, held on November 16, 2006, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) was reviewed by the Board for renewal. In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was prepared for and reviewed by the Board. In addition, at the meeting of the Board, representatives of the Advisor presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Advisor’s performance under the Agreement over the previous year. The Board then deliberated on the renewal of the Agreement in light of the various material provided prior to and at the meeting.
In connection with its review and deliberations, the Board considered the following factors and reached a conclusion with respect to such factors.
· | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or sub-transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board considered the investment performance of the various Series of the Fund. The investment performance for each Series was reviewed on a cumulative basis since inception and on a one year basis. In addition, annualized peformance for the following time periods was considered: inception, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided for each time period. In addition, the Board considered at the meeting (and considers on a quarterly basis) a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Board discussed the performance with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the investment performance of each of the Fund’s Series was reasonable based on the Fund’s actual performance and comparative performance, especially performance over the current market cycle. |
· | The Board considered the costs of the Advisor’s services and the profits of the Advisor as they relate to the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement. In reviewing the Advisor’s costs and profits, the Board discussed the Advisor’s revenues generated from the Fund (on both an actual and adjusted basis) and its expenses associated with providing the services under the Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Agreement (such as expense reimbursements pursuant to expense caps and payments made by the Advisor to third party platforms on which shares of the Fund are available for purchase). It was noted by representatives of the Advisor that 6 of the 18 active Series of the Fund are currently experiencing expenses above the capped expense ratios. After discussing the above costs and profits, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s profitability relating to its services provided under the Agreement is reasonable. |
· | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any expense waivers or reimbursements (either contractual or voluntary) paid by the Advisor. The advisory fees and expense ratios of each Series were compared to an average (on both a mean and median basis) of similar funds as disclosed on the Morningstar database. |
16
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the levels of its advisory fee for each Series of the Fund and as compared to the median and mean advisory fees for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Expense ratios for every Series, except the High Yield Bond Series, are currently below the median and mean for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
· | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include certain research products provided by soft dollars. Given the level of soft dollar transactions involving the Fund, the Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
· | In addition to the factors described above, the Board considered the Advisor’s personnel, the Advisor’s investment strategies, the Advisor’s policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and the Advisor’s reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and foreign financial markets. The Board concluded that these factors support the conclusion that the Advisor performs its services in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board did not consider economies of scale at this time because of the multiple uses of the Fund (for the Advisor’s discretionary investment account clients in addition to direct investors), the current profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s conclusions regarding the factors described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are “not interested” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, approved the renewal of the Agreement for another year. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.

Tax Managed Series
Semi-Annual Report
April 30, 2007
Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,085.70 | $6.21 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,018.84 | $6.01 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.20%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

1. ORGANIZATION
Tax Managed Series (the "Series") is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series' investment objective is to maximize long-term growth while attempting to minimize the impact of taxes on the total return earned by shareholders.
The Series is authorized to issue five classes of shares (Class A, B, C, D and E). Currently, only Class A shares have been issued. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate.
The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 1.7 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2007, 1.26 billion shares have been designated in total among 21 series, of which 37.5 million have been designated as Tax Managed Series Class A common stock.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund's pricing service may be valued at fair value. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund's Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund's Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Federal Taxes
The Series' policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Series' average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series' organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are "affiliated persons" of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each "non-affiliated" Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2008, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct fund operating expenses for the Class A Series at no more than 1.20% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $23,473 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, which is reflected as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund's shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
For fund accounting and transfer agent services, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee of 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $900 million, 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $900 million and $1.5 billion, and 0.04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $1.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense. The Advisor has an agreement with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”) under which BISYS serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.
4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, purchases and sales of securities, other than United States Government securities and short-term securities, were $12,116,556 and $1,928,047, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States Government securities.

The Advisor owned 30,324 shares on April 30, 2007 (4.1% of shares outstanding) valued at $823,903.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Series may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2007.
7. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the United States Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the United States Government.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series' net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended October 31, 2006 were as follows:
Ordinary income | $15,005 |
Long-term capital gains | 790,371 |

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (continued)
At April 30, 2007, the identified cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $18,101,576 |
| |
Unrealized appreciation | $2,184,153 |
Unrealized depreciation | (145,974) |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation | $2,038,179 |
9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance for how an entity should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. FIN 48 needs to be implemented no later than the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on the Series’ financial statements.
In addition, in September 2006, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) was issued, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair value methods and applications. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157, but it is not expected to materially impact the Series’ financial statements.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) annual in-person meeting, held on November 16, 2006, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) was reviewed by the Board for renewal. In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was prepared for and reviewed by the Board. In addition, at the meeting of the Board, representatives of the Advisor presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Advisor’s performance under the Agreement over the previous year. The Board then deliberated on the renewal of the Agreement in light of the various material provided prior to and at the meeting.
In connection with its review and deliberations, the Board considered the following factors and reached a conclusion with respect to such factors.
· | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or sub-transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board considered the investment performance of the various Series of the Fund. The investment performance for each Series was reviewed on a cumulative basis since inception and on a one year basis. In addition, annualized peformance for the following time periods was considered: inception, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided for each time period. In addition, the Board considered at the meeting (and considers on a quarterly basis) a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Board discussed the performance with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the investment performance of each of the Fund’s Series was reasonable based on the Fund’s actual performance and comparative performance, especially performance over the current market cycle. |
· | The Board considered the costs of the Advisor’s services and the profits of the Advisor as they relate to the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement. In reviewing the Advisor’s costs and profits, the Board discussed the Advisor’s revenues generated from the Fund (on both an actual and adjusted basis) and its expenses associated with providing the services under the Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Agreement (such as expense reimbursements pursuant to expense caps and payments made by the Advisor to third party platforms on which shares of the Fund are available for purchase). It was noted by representatives of the Advisor that 6 of the 18 active Series of the Fund are currently experiencing expenses above the capped expense ratios. After discussing the above costs and profits, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s profitability relating to its services provided under the Agreement is reasonable. |
· | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any expense waivers or reimbursements (either contractual or voluntary) paid by the Advisor. The advisory fees and expense ratios of each Series were compared to an average (on both a mean and median basis) of similar funds as disclosed on the Morningstar database. |
16
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the levels of its advisory fee for each Series of the Fund and as compared to the median and mean advisory fees for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Expense ratios for every Series, except the High Yield Bond Series, are currently below the median and mean for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
· | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include certain research products provided by soft dollars. Given the level of soft dollar transactions involving the Fund, the Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
· | In addition to the factors described above, the Board considered the Advisor’s personnel, the Advisor’s investment strategies, the Advisor’s policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and the Advisor’s reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and foreign financial markets. The Board concluded that these factors support the conclusion that the Advisor performs its services in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board did not consider economies of scale at this time because of the multiple uses of the Fund (for the Advisor’s discretionary investment account clients in addition to direct investors), the current profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s conclusions regarding the factors described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are “not interested” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, approved the renewal of the Agreement for another year. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.

Semi-Annual Report

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,088.70 | $5.44 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,019.59 | $5.26 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.05%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Equity Series (the "Series") is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series' investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital, primarily through investments in U.S. common stocks.
The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 1.7 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2007, 1.26 billion shares have been designated in total among 21 series, of which 75 million have been designated as Equity Series Class A common stock.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund's pricing service may be valued at fair value. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund's Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund's Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Federal Taxes
The Series' policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Series' average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series' organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are "affiliated persons" of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each "non-affiliated" Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2008, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 1.05% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $30,692 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, which is reflected as a

reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund's shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
For fund accounting and transfer agent services, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee of 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $900 million, 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $900 million and $1.5 billion, and 0.04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $1.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense. The Advisor has an agreement with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”) under which BISYS serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.
4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, purchases and sales of securities, other than United States Government securities and short-term securities, were $96,172,867 and $11,415,474, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States Government securities.
5. CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in shares of Equity Series were:
| For the Six Months | For the Year |
| Ended 4/30/07 | Ended 10/31/06 |
| Shares | Amount | Shares | Amount |
Sold | 4,634,344 | $90,712,626 | 285,373 | $5,132,563 |
Reinvested | 15,722 | 309,402 | 12,768 | 210,548 |

Total | 4,526,079 | $88,557,993 | 275,757 | $4,957,234 |
At April 30, 2007, the retirement plan of the advisor and its affiliates owned 161,940 shares of the Series (3.3% of shares outstanding) valued at $3,303,576.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Series may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2007.

7. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the United States Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the United States Government. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2007.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series' net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended October 31, 2006 were as follows:
Ordinary income | $54,198 |
Long-term capital gains | 157,945 |
At April 30, 2007, the identified cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $102,546,580 |
| |
Unrealized appreciation | $5,560,583 |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,640,467) |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation | $3,920,116 |
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance for how an entity should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. FIN 48 needs to be implemented no later than the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on the Series’ financial statements.

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In addition, in September 2006, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) was issued, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair value methods and applications. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157, but it is not expected to materially impact the Series’ financial statements.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) annual in-person meeting, held on November 16, 2006, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) was reviewed by the Board for renewal. In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was prepared for and reviewed by the Board. In addition, at the meeting of the Board, representatives of the Advisor presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Advisor’s performance under the Agreement over the previous year. The Board then deliberated on the renewal of the Agreement in light of the various material provided prior to and at the meeting.
In connection with its review and deliberations, the Board considered the following factors and reached a conclusion with respect to such factors.
· | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or sub-transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board considered the investment performance of the various Series of the Fund. The investment performance for each Series was reviewed on a cumulative basis since inception and on a one year basis. In addition, annualized peformance for the following time periods was considered: inception, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided for each time period. In addition, the Board considered at the meeting (and considers on a quarterly basis) a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Board discussed the performance with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the investment performance of each of the Fund’s Series was reasonable based on the Fund’s actual performance and comparative performance, especially performance over the current market cycle. |
· | The Board considered the costs of the Advisor’s services and the profits of the Advisor as they relate to the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement. In reviewing the Advisor’s costs and profits, the Board discussed the Advisor’s revenues generated from the Fund (on both an actual and adjusted basis) and its expenses associated with providing the services under the Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Agreement (such as expense reimbursements pursuant to expense caps and payments made by the Advisor to third party platforms on which shares of the Fund are available for purchase). It was noted by representatives of the Advisor that 6 of the 18 active Series of the Fund are currently experiencing expenses above the capped expense ratios. After discussing the above costs and profits, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s profitability relating to its services provided under the Agreement is reasonable. |
· | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any expense waivers or reimbursements (either contractual or voluntary) paid by the Advisor. The advisory fees and expense ratios of each Series were compared to an average (on both a mean and median basis) of similar funds as disclosed on the Morningstar database. |
16
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the levels of its advisory fee for each Series of the Fund and as compared to the median and mean advisory fees for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Expense ratios for every Series, except the High Yield Bond Series, are currently below the median and mean for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
· | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include certain research products provided by soft dollars. Given the level of soft dollar transactions involving the Fund, the Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
· | In addition to the factors described above, the Board considered the Advisor’s personnel, the Advisor’s investment strategies, the Advisor’s policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and the Advisor’s reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and foreign financial markets. The Board concluded that these factors support the conclusion that the Advisor performs its services in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board did not consider economies of scale at this time because of the multiple uses of the Fund (for the Advisor’s discretionary investment account clients in addition to direct investors), the current profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s conclusions regarding the factors described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are “not interested” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, approved the renewal of the Agreement for another year. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,043.10 | $5.07 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,019.84 | $5.01 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.00%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

2The Series adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, which requires the Series to amortize premium and accrete discount on all debt securities (see Note 2 to the financial statements). The effect of this change for the year ended October 31, 2002 was to increase net investment income per share by $0.01, decrease net realized and unrealized gain on investments per share by $0.01, and increase the net investment income ratio from 2.80% to 2.95%.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,063.00 | $5.68 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,019.29 | $5.56 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.11%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,075.70 | $5.71 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,019.29 | $5.56 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.11%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

*The investment advisor did not impose all of its management fee in some periods. If these expenses had been incurred by the Series, the expense ratio (to average net assets) would have been increased as follows:
1Represents aggregate total return for the period indicated, and assumes reinvestment of all distributions. Total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during certain periods. Periods less than one year are not annualized.
2Annualized.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series 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 (November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007).
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 Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as potential wire charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period* |
| 11/1/06 | 4/30/07 | 11/1/06-4/30/07 |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,088.80 | $5.75 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,019.29 | $5.56 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.11%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

1. ORGANIZATION
Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series (each the "Series") are no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series are asset allocation funds. Each invests in a combination of stocks, bonds and cash, and is managed according to specific goals. The goals are as follows: Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series - primary goal is preservation of capital; secondary goal is long-term growth of capital. Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - equal emphasis on long-term growth of capital and preservation of capital. Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series - primary goal is long-term growth of capital; secondary goal is preservation of capital. Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series - primary goal is long-term growth of capital.
Each Series is authorized to issue five classes of shares (Class A, B, C, D and E). Currently, only Class A shares have been issued. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate.
The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of each Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 1.7 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2007, 1.26 billion shares have been designated in total among 21 series, of which 37.5 million have been designated as Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class A common stock, 62.5 million each have been designated as Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class A common stock and Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class A common stock, and 75 million have been designated as Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class A common stock.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, exchange-traded funds, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund's pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided by the Fund's pricing service.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund's pricing service may be valued at fair value. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund's Board of Directors (the “Board”).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Security Valuation (continued)
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date, with the exception of exchange-traded funds as noted previously.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund's Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series use the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series do not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment
Each Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment. These transactions involve a commitment by the Series to purchase securities for a predetermined price with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When such purchases are outstanding, the Series will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Series assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment (continued)
In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis, the Series may enter into forward roll transactions principally using To Be Announced (TBA) securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Series to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-backed pools. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series account for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series and Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series had TBA dollar rolls outstanding as of April 30, 2007, which are included in Payable for Purchases of Delayed Delivery Securities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
Each Series' policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made semi-annually. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which each Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series and 1.00% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, of the Series' average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series' organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are "affiliated persons" of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each "non-affiliated" Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2008, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 1.00% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class A and 1.20% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class A, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class A and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class A, of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $1,218 for the Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class A for the six months ended April 30, 2007, which is reflected as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Advisor did not waive its management fee or reimburse any expenses of the Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class A, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class A or the Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class A. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund's shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
For fund accounting and transfer agent services, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee of 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $900 million, 0.07% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $900 million and $1.5 billion, and 0.04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $1.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense. The Advisor has an agreement with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”) under which BISYS serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Series may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2007.
7. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the United States Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the United States Government.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Each Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series' net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance for how an entity should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. FIN 48 needs to be implemented no later than the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on the Series’ financial statements.
In addition, in September 2006, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) was issued, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair value methods and applications. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157, but it is not expected to materially impact the Series’ financial statements.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) annual in-person meeting, held on November 16, 2006, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) was reviewed by the Board for renewal. In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was prepared for and reviewed by the Board. In addition, at the meeting of the Board, representatives of the Advisor presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Advisor’s performance under the Agreement over the previous year. The Board then deliberated on the renewal of the Agreement in light of the various material provided prior to and at the meeting.
In connection with its review and deliberations, the Board considered the following factors and reached a conclusion with respect to such factors.
· | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or sub-transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board considered the investment performance of the various Series of the Fund. The investment performance for each Series was reviewed on a cumulative basis since inception and on a one year basis. In addition, annualized peformance for the following time periods was considered: inception, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided for each time period. In addition, the Board considered at the meeting (and considers on a quarterly basis) a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Board discussed the performance with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the investment performance of each of the Fund’s Series was reasonable based on the Fund’s actual performance and comparative performance, especially performance over the current market cycle. |
· | The Board considered the costs of the Advisor’s services and the profits of the Advisor as they relate to the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement. In reviewing the Advisor’s costs and profits, the Board discussed the Advisor’s revenues generated from the Fund (on both an actual and adjusted basis) and its expenses associated with providing the services under the Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Agreement (such as expense reimbursements pursuant to expense caps and payments made by the Advisor to third party platforms on which shares of the Fund are available for purchase). It was noted by representatives of the Advisor that 6 of the 18 active Series of the Fund are currently experiencing expenses above the capped expense ratios. After discussing the above costs and profits, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s profitability relating to its services provided under the Agreement is reasonable. |
· | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any expense waivers or reimbursements (either contractual or voluntary) paid by the Advisor. The advisory fees and expense ratios of each Series were compared to an average (on both a mean and median basis) of similar funds as disclosed on the Morningstar database. |
88
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the levels of its advisory fee for each Series of the Fund and as compared to the median and mean advisory fees for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Expense ratios for every Series, except the High Yield Bond Series, are currently below the median and mean for similar funds as listed on Morningstar. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
· | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include certain research products provided by soft dollars. Given the level of soft dollar transactions involving the Fund, the Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
· | In addition to the factors described above, the Board considered the Advisor’s personnel, the Advisor’s investment strategies, the Advisor’s policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and the Advisor’s reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and foreign financial markets. The Board concluded that these factors support the conclusion that the Advisor performs its services in a reasonable manner. |
· | The Board did not consider economies of scale at this time because of the multiple uses of the Fund (for the Advisor’s discretionary investment account clients in addition to direct investors), the current profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s conclusions regarding the factors described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are “not interested” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, approved the renewal of the Agreement for another year. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.
