TAX MANAGED SERIES | | | | | Semi-Annual Report - April 30, 2008 |

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, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
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 Account Value 11/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 4/30/08 | | Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/07-4/30/08 |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 914.70 | | $ | 5.71 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,018.90 | | $ | 6.02 |
*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 182/366 (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.

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, D, E and Z). 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 Advisor’s, 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 5.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2008, 3.3 billion shares have been designated in total among 27 series, of which 87.5 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. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. 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.
On April 30, 2008, the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements. The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2007.
Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
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.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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, 2009, 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 $18,087 for the six months ended April 30, 2008, 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
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
3. | TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued) |
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 Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.
4. | PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES |
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, purchases and sales of securities, other than United States Government securities and short-term securities, were $10,564,055 and $8,958,540, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States Government securities.
5. | CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS |
Transactions in Class A shares of Tax Managed Series were:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
At April 30, 2008 one shareholder owned 612,449 shares of the Series (62.4% of shares outstanding) valued at $15,409,217. Investment activities of this shareholder may have a material effect on the Series.
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, 2008.
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
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
8. | FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
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, 2007 were as follows:
| | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 38,908 |
Long-term capital gains | | | 554,278 |
At April 30, 2008, 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 | | $ | 23,997,740 | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 2,109,632 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (480,094 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 1,629,538 | |
| | | | |
9. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
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”) meeting, held on November 12, 2007, the Board considered the continuation of the then-current investment advisory agreement (the “Current Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (“the Advisor”), which was to be superseded by the New Investment Advisory Agreement upon its approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The continuation of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was necessary as a result of the delay in obtaining the number of votes necessary to convene the shareholder meeting and approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to all investment portfolios of the Fund (the “Series”). For a discussion on the approval of the new Investment Advisory Agreement, see the Series’ annual report as of October 31, 2007.
Representatives of the Advisor attended the meeting and presented additional oral and written information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. The discussion immediately below outlines the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with the Board’s 2007 Annual Review of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement and the conclusions made by the Directors when determining to continue the Current Investment Advisory Agreement.
| • | | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Current Investment Advisory 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 also considered the nature and quality of such services provided under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement in light of the Advisor’s services provided to the Fund for 21 years. 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 Current Investment Advisory 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 performance 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. The Board noted that all the Series were competitive against their respective benchmark indices over all time periods noted above through September 30, 2007. 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 Current Investment |
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Advisory 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Current Investment Advisory 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 4 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement was 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. 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 and Global Fixed Income 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, investment strategies, policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, concluded that the compensation under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. Accordingly, the Board approved the renewal of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.

OVERSEAS SERIES | | | | | Semi-Annual Report - April 30, 2008 |

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, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
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 Account Value 11/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 4/30/08 | | Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/07 - 4/30/08 |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 936.80 | | $ | 3.90 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,020.84 | | $ | 4.07 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.81%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

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 5.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2008, 3.33 billion shares have been designated in total among 27 series, of which 100 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. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. 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) |
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.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Series may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge a portfolio position or specific transaction. Risks may arise if the counterparties to a contract are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the foreign currency moves unfavorably.
All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency and, for financial statement purposes, any gain or loss is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until a contract has been closed. Realized and unrealized gain or loss arising from a transaction is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
The Series may regularly trade forward foreign currency exchange contracts with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The notional or contractual amount of these instruments represents the investment the Series has in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially at risk. The measurement of the risks associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations for forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of April 30, 2008 is included at the end of the Investment Portfolio. On April 30, 2008, the Series had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments under these contracts.
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.
On April 30, 2008, the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being

Federal Taxes (continued)
measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements. The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2007.
Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
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.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
3. | TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued) |
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2009, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual 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, 2008, 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 Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.
4. | PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES |
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, purchases and sales of securities, other than United States Government securities and short-term securities, were $83,665,803 and $48,064,510, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States Government securities.
5. | CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS |
Transactions in shares of Overseas Series were:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
At April 30, 2008, the retirement plan of the Advisor and its affiliates owned 135,302 shares of the Series (1.6% of shares outstanding) valued at $3,857,460. In addition, four shareholders owned 6,336,205 shares of the Series (73.0% of shares outstanding) valued at $180,645,205. Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Series.
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

6. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) |
recognized for financial statement purposes. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2008, except forward foreign currency exchange contracts as shown at the end of the Investment Portfolio.
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, 2007 were as follows:
| | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,667,063 |
Long-term capital gains | | | 321,798 |
At April 30, 2008, 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 | | $ | 246,361,336 | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 17,882,280 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (17,330,889 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 551,391 | |
| | | | |
9. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
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”) meeting, held on November 12, 2007, the Board considered the continuation of the then-current investment advisory agreement (the “Current Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (“the Advisor”), which was to be superseded by the New Investment Advisory Agreement upon its approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The continuation of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was necessary as a result of the delay in obtaining the number of votes necessary to convene the shareholder meeting and approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to all investment portfolios of the Fund (the “Series”). For a discussion on the approval of the new Investment Advisory Agreement, see the Series’ annual report as of October 31, 2007.
Representatives of the Advisor attended the meeting and presented additional oral and written information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. The discussion immediately below outlines the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with the Board’s 2007 Annual Review of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement and the conclusions made by the Directors when determining to continue the Current Investment Advisory Agreement.
| • | | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Current Investment Advisory 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 also considered the nature and quality of such services provided under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement in light of the Advisor’s services provided to the Fund for 21 years. 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 Current Investment Advisory 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 performance 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. The Board noted that all the Series were competitive against their respective benchmark indices over all time periods noted above through September 30, 2007. 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 Current Investment |
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Advisory 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Current Investment Advisory 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 4 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement was 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. 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 and Global Fixed Income 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, investment strategies, policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, concluded that the compensation under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. Accordingly, the Board approved the renewal of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.

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 (March 28, 2008* to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines 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 Actual line for the Series and Class you have invested in 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 Hypothetical lines of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 for the Series and Class you have invested in 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 Hypothetical 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.

*Commencement of operations.
1Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the period 3/28/08 (commencement of operations) to 4/30/08), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 31/366 (to reflect the period since inception). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period.
2Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the period 3/28/08 (commencement of operations) to 4/30/08), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal period.
3Expense ratios of the Class do not include fees and expenses indirectly incurred by the underlying funds. If these expenses were included, the expense ratios would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Target Income Series, Target 2010 Series, Target 2020 Series, Target 2030 Series, Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 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 40 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
Each Series seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a combination of other Manning & Napier mutual funds (the “underlying series”) in order to meet its target asset allocations and investment style. Each Series has its own distinct target portfolio allocation and is designed to accommodate different investment goals and risk tolerances. The financial statements of the underlying funds should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.
Each Series is authorized to issue four classes of shares (Class K, R, C and I). 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 5.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2008, 3.3 billion shares have been designated in total among 27 series, of which 10 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class C and I common stock and 40 million in each of the Series for Class K and R common stock.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Security Valuation
Investments in the underlying series 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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.
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. Expenses included in the accompanying statements of operations do not include any expense of the underlying series.
Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that Class.
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.
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

Federal Taxes (continued)
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.
On April 30, 2008, the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements. The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. As this is the inception year for the Series, they have not yet filed any tax returns.
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.

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Advisor does not receive an advisory fee for the services it performs for the Series. However, the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual management fee from its investment in each of the underlying series.
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

3. | TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued) |
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 March 28, 2009, to limit each class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.30% for Class K, 0.55% for Class R, 1.05% for Class C and 0.05% for Class I, of average daily net assets each year. The Advisor’s agreement to limit each class’s operating expense is limited to direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to the indirect expenses incurred by the Series through their investments in the underlying series. For the period March 28, 2008 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2008 the Advisor reimbursed expenses of $16,537 for each Series 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 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 Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class K, Class R, and Class C shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the 40 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, each Series pays distribution and servicing fees to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares, 0.50% of average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares, and 1.00% of average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. There are no distribution and servicing fees on the Class I shares of each Series. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
For fund accounting services, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee of $19,000 for each Target Series. The Fund also pays the Advisor an annual fee of $10,000 for each additional active class of a Series. For transfer agency services, the Fund pays the Advisor $12,000 per class for each Target Series. 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 Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
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, 2008.
7. | 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.
At April 30, 2008, 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Target Income | | Target 2010 | | Target 2020 | | Target 2030 | | Target 2040 | | Target 2050 |

8. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
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.

EQUITY SERIES | | | | | Semi-Annual Report - April 30, 2008 |

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, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
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 Account Value 11/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 4/30/08 | | Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/07 - 4/30/08 |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 894.30 | | $ | 4.95 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,019.64 | | $ | 5.27 |
*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 182/366 (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)
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 5.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2008, 3.33 billion shares have been designated in total among 27 series, of which 125 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. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. 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.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
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.
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.
On April 30, 2008, the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements. The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2007.
Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
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, 2009, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual 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 $56,351 for the six months ended April 30, 2008, 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 Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.
4. | PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES |
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, purchases and sales of securities, other than United States Government securities and short-term securities, were $210,528,478 and $54,621,736, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States Government securities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
At April 30, 2008, the retirement plan of the advisor and its affiliates owned 188,789 shares of the Series (1.0% of shares outstanding) valued at $3,469,942.
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, 2008.
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, 2008.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
8. | FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
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, 2007 were as follows:
| | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 96,775 |
Long-term capital gains | | | 213,273 |
At April 30, 2008, the identified cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized depreciation were as follows:
| | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 358,923,130 | |
| |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 9,309,644 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (20,957,214 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (11,647,570 | ) |
| | | | |
9. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
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”) meeting, held on November 12, 2007, the Board considered the continuation of the then-current investment advisory agreement (the “Current Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (“the Advisor”), which was to be superseded by the New Investment Advisory Agreement upon its approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The continuation of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was necessary as a result of the delay in obtaining the number of votes necessary to convene the shareholder meeting and approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to all investment portfolios of the Fund (the “Series”). For a discussion on the approval of the new Investment Advisory Agreement, see the Series’ annual report as of October 31, 2007.
Representatives of the Advisor attended the meeting and presented additional oral and written information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. The discussion immediately below outlines the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with the Board’s 2007 Annual Review of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement and the conclusions made by the Directors when determining to continue the Current Investment Advisory Agreement.
| • | | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Current Investment Advisory 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 also considered the nature and quality of such services provided under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement in light of the Advisor’s services provided to the Fund for 21 years. 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 Current Investment Advisory 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 performance 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. The Board noted that all the Series were competitive against their respective benchmark indices over all time periods noted above through September 30, 2007. 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 Current Investment |
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Advisory 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Current Investment Advisory 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 4 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement was 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. 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 and Global Fixed Income 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, investment strategies, policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, concluded that the compensation under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. Accordingly, the Board approved the renewal of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement. 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, 2007 to April 30, 2008 except for Class I Actual which is from March 28, 2008* to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines 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 Actual 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 Hypothetical lines 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 Hypothetical 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 Account Value 11/1/07* | | Ending Account Value 4/30/08 | | Expenses Paid During Period 11/1/07-4/30/081 | | Annualized Expense Ratio | |
Class S | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,000.50 | | $ | 4.77 | | 0.96 | % |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,020.09 | | $ | 4.82 | | 0.96 | % |
Class I | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,008.00 | | $ | 0.60 | | 0.70 | % |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,021.38 | | $ | 3.52 | | 0.70 | % |
*Class I inception date was March 28, 2008.
1Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year (except for the Series’ Class I Actual return information, which reflects the 31 day period ended April 30, 2008 due to its inception date of March 28, 2008). The Series’ Class I total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period.

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, 2007 to April 30, 2008 except for Class I Actual which is from March 28, 2008* to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines 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 Actual 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 Hypothetical lines 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 Hypothetical 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.

*Class I inception date was March 28, 2008.
1Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year (except for the Series’ Class I Actual return information, which reflects the 31 day period ended April 30, 2008 due to its inception date of March 28, 2008). The Series’ Class I total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period.

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, 2007 to April 30, 2008 except for Class I Actual which is from March 28, 2008* to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines 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 Actual 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 Hypothetical lines 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 Hypothetical 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.

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, 2007 to April 30, 2008 except for Class I Actual which is from March 28, 2008* to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines 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 Actual 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 Hypothetical lines 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 Hypothetical 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.

*Class I inception date was March 28, 2008.
1Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year (except for the Series’ Class I Actual return information, which reflects the 31 day period ended April 30, 2008 due to its inception date of March 28, 2008). The Series’ Class I total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period.

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. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Security Valuation (continued)
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, 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.
Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that Class.
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
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment (continued)
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.
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. None of the Series had TBA dollar rolls outstanding as of April 30, 2008.
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.
Affiliated Companies
The Chairman and CEO of Alsius Corp. serves as a director of the Fund. Therefore, Alsius Corp. (formerly Ithaka Acquisition Corp.) is considered an “affiliated company” as defined in the 1940 Act. The following transactions were effected in shares of Alsius Corp. for the six-month period ended April 30, 2008:

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.
On April 30, 2008, the Series adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements. The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2007.
Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax
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 0.60% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series and 0.75% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, of the Series’ average daily net assets. Prior to March 1, 2008, the annual advisory fee was 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.
Effective March 1, 2008, Class S shares of each Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of each Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.20% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class S and 0.25% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class S, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class S and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class S, of the Series’ average daily net assets. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
3. | TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued) |
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2009, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than the following amounts of average daily net assets each year:
| | | |
Series/Class | | Expense Limit | |
Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class S | | 1.00 | % |
Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class I | | 0.70 | % |
Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class S | | 1.20 | % |
Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class I | | 0.85 | % |
Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class S | | 1.20 | % |
Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class I | | 0.85 | % |
Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class S | | 1.20 | % |
Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class I | | 0.85 | % |
For the six months ended April 30, 2008 the Advisor did not reimburse any expenses of the Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class S, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class S, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class S, and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class S. For the period March 28, 2008 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2008, the Advisor reimbursed expenses of $26 for Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class I, which is reflected as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class I and Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class I, the Advisor reimbursed expenses to keep the expense limits of each class at the previously stated contractual limits; however, due to rounding, this is not shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations as the amounts reimbursed were less than $0.50. For Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class I, the Advisor did not reimburse any expenses. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been reimbursed.
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 Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi serves as sub-accounting services and sub-transfer agent.

Each of 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 any of the Series on April 30, 2008.
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 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”) meeting, held on November 12, 2007, the Board considered the continuation of the then-current investment advisory agreement (the “Current Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (“the Advisor”), which was to be superseded by the New Investment Advisory Agreement upon its approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The continuation of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was necessary as a result of the delay in obtaining the number of votes necessary to convene the shareholder meeting and approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to all investment portfolios of the Fund (the “Series”). For a discussion on the approval of the new Investment Advisory Agreement, see the Series’ annual report as of October 31, 2007.
Representatives of the Advisor attended the meeting and presented additional oral and written information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. The discussion immediately below outlines the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with the Board’s 2007 Annual Review of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement and the conclusions made by the Directors when determining to continue the Current Investment Advisory Agreement.
| • | | The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor under the Current Investment Advisory 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 also considered the nature and quality of such services provided under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement in light of the Advisor’s services provided to the Fund for 21 years. 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 Current Investment Advisory 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 performance 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. The Board noted that all the Series were competitive against their respective benchmark indices over all time periods noted above through September 30, 2007. 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 Current Investment |
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
| Advisory 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Current Investment Advisory 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 4 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement was 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. 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 and Global Fixed Income 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, investment strategies, policies and procedures relating to compliance with personal securities transactions, and 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 Current Investment Advisory Agreement, and the overall size of the Fund complex. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of Directors that are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, concluded that the compensation under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. Accordingly, the Board approved the renewal of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling.
