Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

Our funds continue to prosper by consistently applying the conservative investment approach that has been successful over so many years.

 

 

Stock Wars

 

Late last year the much anticipated release of the latest installment in the Star Wars series opened to critical acclaim and huge crowds.  First released in 1977, the original Star Wars created an instant phenomenon with fans waiting in line for hours to get tickets.  Of course, this was before you could order tickets online and download them to your phone.  The original movie was followed by two successful sequels, and then by a “prequel” trilogy that garnered a much more subdued reception from critics and fans.  This latest movie, however, seemed to capture the buzz of the original.

 

The financial markets are in the midst of their own prequel, as well, following a number of strong years fueled by historically low interest rates and massive amounts of Fed liquidity.  The stock market was a major beneficiary as companies used an ample labor pool and easy money to drive down costs and boost operating results.  Corporations applied this improving cash flow, and a willingness to leverage their balance sheets, to expand stock buyback programs and magnify the impact of reported earnings per share.  It was a great story as long as the Fed liquidity continued and rates remained low.

 

As 2015 unfolded some of these factors started to unwind and we began to get the feeling that we had seen this before.  The Fed had already started to reduce the flow of liquidity as it opted not to extend their quantitative easing programs.  While the reduced liquidity flow seemed to go smoothly, the move created upward pressure on the dollar relative to other currencies which hurt the earnings of multinational corporations.  As the Fed began to broadcast their intention to raise interest rates over the course of the year the resulting increase in financing costs raised concerns about economic growth and the continued improvement in operating results.

 

The economy was buffeted by a number of adverse developments as 2015 progressed.  The dramatic decline in the price of oil crushed the burgeoning shale exploration industry leading to widespread layoffs, a collapse in energy sector capital spending, and concerns about the financial viability of this highly leveraged industry.  The lack of any perceived income growth among middle income wage earners contributed to weak retail sales and increased competition among retailers fighting for market share despite razor thin





operating margins.  Political pressure to raise the minimum wage and higher health care costs led to store closings and layoffs at several well known retail names.

 

As global growth slowed China began to feel the pressure of years of overinvestment in infrastructure projects and reliance on an export based economy.  A spike in the Chinese stock market followed by a sharp decline was met by a ham-handed intervention by Chinese policymakers making a difficult situation worse for the markets.  Growth slowed as grandiose real estate projects stood near empty and industrial accidents increased due to mismanagement.  These policy mistakes illustrate the difficulties of central planners managing change in a command economy.

 


The Manor Fund

 

The Manor Fund returned -2.23%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2015 underperforming the S&P 500 index return of 1.38% and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index return of -0.68%.  The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index for the trailing 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods with returns of 13.72%, 9.91%, and 6.06% compared to returns for the S&P 500 index of 15.05%, 12.57%, and 7.31%, respectively.  The fund continues to outperform comparable mutual funds during the trailing 3-year period with an annualized return of 13.72% compared to an annualized return of 13.45% for the Lipper Large-Cap Core mutual fund index, while underperforming that index during the trailing 5-year and 10-year periods with returns of 9.91% and 6.06% compared to returns of 10.98% and 6.35% for the index, respectively.  

 

During the year ending December 31, 2015, the Fund was helped by strong performance from Valero Energy Corporation, Chubb Corp., AmerisourceBergen Corp., Microsoft Corp., and Allergan, PLC.  The shares of Valero Energy, a refiner and marketer of transportation fuels, were strong throughout most of the year.  The company beat revenue and earnings expectations each quarter, and increased their dividend and stock buyback program.  Results were aided by the sharp drop in oil prices which increased margins in the refining segment of their operations, offsetting lower revenue from reduced end product demand in fuel consumption.  The shares of insurer Chubb Corporation jumped when the company received a merger offer with a substantial premium from reinsurer ACE, Limited.  The shares of AmerisourceBergen, a pharmacy benefits management and servicing company, rose early in the year as contract negotiations between rival benefit managers and health care plans created favorable opportunities for AmerisourcBergen.  The company also reported revenue and earnings above expectations during most of the year.  The shares of Microsoft traded in a choppy range early in the year after an initial earnings report disappointed investors.  The stock rebounded after the next report showed improvement, but traded in tandem with the market until the final quarterly report propelled the shares higher.  Investors reacted to improved results in Office commercial products and cloud services, growth in Office 365 users, and higher revenue in Intelligent Cloud products and services.  The shares of Allergan rose steadily early in the year after several strong earnings reports and after the





successful completion of the merger of Actavis and Allergan.  Results were also boosted by expanded labeling for Botox and the approval of several new generic products.

 

Notable laggards during the year ending December 31, 2015 include Mallinckrodt, PLC, SanDisk Corporation, Quanta Services, Inc., Franklin Resources, Inc., and Pentair, PLC.  The shares of Mallinckrodt, a global specialty pharmaceuticals company, performed well early in the year supported by strong operating results, but then dropped mid-year after a weak earnings report and the announcement of the acquisition of Therakos.  The acquisition announcement put added pressure on the stock despite the expectation that the acquisition would be accretive to earnings in fiscal year 2016.  The shares of SanDisk, a provider of flash storage solutions for numerous electronic products and mobile devices fell after several poor earnings reports.  The company missed expectations several times, increasing investor concerns about slowing growth especially in the mobile device category.  The stock jumped later in the year after the company agreed to be acquired by Western Digital Corporation.  The rebound, however, was not enough to offset the weakness earlier in the year.  

 

  

The Growth Fund

 

The Manor Growth Fund returned -0.14%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2015, underperforming both the S&P 500 index return of 1.38% and comparable mutual funds as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Growth mutual fund index quarterly return of 5.66%.  The fund outperformed the S&P 500 index during the trailing 3-year period with a return of 15.12% for the fund compared to 15.05% for the index, but underperformed the Lipper index return of 16.49%.  The fund underperformed both indices during the trailing 5-year and 10-year periods with returns of 11.22% and 6.32% for the fund compared to 12.57% and 7.31% for the S&P 500 index and 12.12% and 7.14% for the Lipper index.   

 

During the year ending December 31, 2015 the Fund was helped by strong performance from Constellation Brands, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Google, Inc. (now Alphabet, Inc.), Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Microsoft Corporation.  The shares of Constellation Brands, an international distributor of beer, wine, and spirits, rose steadily throughout the year.  Constellation reported earnings above expectations each quarter and raised earnings guidance for fiscal 2015, and then later for fiscal 2016, based on continued strong operating results in their beer segment.  The shares of Royal Caribbean stumbled early in the year when the company missed revenue and earnings expectations, and lowered guidance, in their first two earnings announcements of the year.  Operations improved as the year progressed as lower fuel costs and favorable currency exchange rates contributed to results above expectations during the second half of the year.  The shares of Google (now Alphabet) rose sharply in mid-year and continued to move higher over the balance of the year.  The stock jumped after reporting earnings above expectations during their 2nd quarter and better metrics in a number of underlying categories as compared to their previous report.  The stock moved higher again after the company announced plans for a new operating structure and the creation





of a new holding company, Alphabet, which will receive all of the converted shares from both Google Class A and Class B.  The stock rose again later in the year after another positive earnings report.  Shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific reacted positively throughout the year as the company reported earnings above expectations in each of their earnings announcements.  The stock performed in line with the market but then moved higher late in the year when the company raised earnings guidance in the final quarterly report.  The shares of Microsoft traded in a choppy range early in the year after an initial earnings report disappointed investors.  The stock rebounded after the next report showed improvement, but traded in tandem with the market until the final quarterly report propelled the shares higher.  Investors reacted to improved results in Office commercial products and cloud services, growth in Office 365 users, and higher revenue in Intelligent Cloud products and services.

 

Weak holdings during the year ending December 31, 2015 include Michael Kors Holdings, Time Warner, Inc., F5 Networks, Affiliated Managers Group, and Whirlpool Corporation.  The shares of Michael Kors, a fashion retailer, were weak throughout the year.  The company reduced earnings guidance several times during the year due to margin pressure and anemic unit growth.  The company managed to exceed earnings expectations each quarter, but the weak earnings guidance weighed heavily on the stock.  The shares of Time Warner performed well early in the year as the company met or exceeded expectations, but fell mid-year as concerns about customer trends hurt some of the major players in the cable industry.  The concerns started when a major competitor of Time Warner experienced a decline in subscriber growth at its sports network.  That news triggered renewed concerns about “cord cutting” as younger viewers searched for alternative sources of entertainment content.  These investor concerns continued to weigh on the stock despite a strong quarterly report later in the year.  The shares of F5 Networks, a technology company that helps organizations scale cloud, data center, and software networking deployments anywhere at any time, initially jumped mid-year after the company reported earnings above expectations and raised guidance slightly.  The stock fell late in the year, however, when the company beat earnings expectations but was forced to reduce revenue and earnings guidance for the next quarter.  The shares of Affiliated Managers Group performed well for the first half of the year but then fell as investor concerns about rising interest rates contributed to lowered expectations for market performance and increased the risk of asset outflows at investment managers in their corporate portfolio.  The shares of Whirlpool declined steadily throughout the year on concerns that a strong dollar and weak operations in Latin America would contribute to continued weakness in revenues and earnings.  The company was able to report earnings above expectations later in the year but the weakness in revenue growth relative to expectations continued to weigh on the stock.  

 

 

The Bond Fund

 

 The Manor Bond Fund returned -0.04%, net of all fees and expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2015, underperforming the Barclays Intermediate US Treasury index return of 4.20% and the Lipper US Government mutual fund index return of





0.39%.  Performance reflects the relatively conservative position of the Fund’s investment portfolio of US Treasury securities.  The portfolio has an average yield to maturity of 0.80%, an average maturity of 1.53 years, and an average duration of 1.55 years.  The duration of a bond portfolio is a measure of risk, with a lower duration indicating a lower level of risk.  The Fund is managed to provide a low-risk alternative for conservative investors.

 

 

May Valuation Be With You

 

Under the circumstances it comes as no surprise that revenue growth has become increasingly scarce, and earnings misses all too common.  The Fed finally found the courage to raise the Fed Funds rate by 25 basis points, after backing off earlier in the year, while making sure that investors knew that the path of further rate increases remained highly uncertain.  Equity markets held up reasonably well as a strong rebound in October regained the ground lost during the summer selloff.  Absent the August decline and October rebound, the stock market traded in a tight range, with narrow leadership among a few high-profile stocks.  Dubbed the FANG stocks, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google, these few names accounted for a significant portion of stock market return for the year.  The extreme valuation multiples for Amazon, Facebook, and Netflix in particular did not seem to matter as investors loaded up on the names, reminiscent final stages of 2000 when the market was driven by AOL, Worldcom and several other names at similar valuations, many of whom are no longer with us.

 

While it is tempting to go back to those prequel days and jump on board those momentum stocks, we remember that those episodes didn’t have happy endings.  We believe that successful investing starts with strong companies whose stocks represent reasonable valuations based on earnings expectations and financial strength.  Despite the allure of these great story stocks, we remain true to an investment process that has the demonstrated ability to identify companies with reasonable growth opportunities, strong balance sheets, and free cash flow.  We will invest in companies with attractive valuations based on these factors and where management has a clear focus on execution.    We believe that a consistent application of these time-proven measures will enable us to prevail over the course of a full market cycle.  

 

Sincerely,

Daniel A. Morris

MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization: Manor Investment Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Business Trust, (effective January 1, 2012) comprising of Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively “the Funds”), and is an open-end management investment company.  The Trust was originally incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on September 13, 1995 and was dissolved by domestication in Pennsylvania on January 3, 2012. The primary investment objective of each of the Funds follows: Manor Fund – long-term capital appreciation and moderate level of income, investing primarily in common stocks of large corporations in the United States; Growth Fund - long-term capital appreciation, investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. corporations; Bond Fund - current income, investing primarily in U.S. Government obligations.


The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.  The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.


Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 2.


Federal Income Taxes: The Funds policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.


The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken on its 2012-2014 returns and expect to be taken on the Funds’ December 31, 2015 returns and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total tax amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.


Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, at year-end. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.


Other: The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized over the useful lives of the respective securities when determined to be material. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends will be provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.


Reclassifications: In accordance with GAAP, the Growth Fund recorded a permanent book/tax difference of $28,149 from net investment loss to paid-in-capital. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Growth Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.  


Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.


2.  SECURITIES VALUATIONS


Processes and Structure





The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.


Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:


?

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.


?

Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.


?

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.


The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.


The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.


Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.


Equity securities (common and preferred stocks). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in level 2.


U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.


The following table summarizes the inputs used to value each Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2015:

3.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Under the Agreement the fee structure for the Manor and Growth Funds consists of an Investment Management Fee not to exceed 1.0% of the total average daily net assets, of each Fund on an annual basis and an Investment Management Fee not to exceed 0.5% of total average daily net assets on an annual basis for the Bond Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Advisor earned advisory fees from the Manor, Growth and Bond Funds of $46,171, $160,452 and $4,980, respectively.

6.  CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP


The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under section 2 (a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  As of December 31, 2015, Pershing LLC., held in omnibus accounts for the benefit of others approximately 34% of the voting securities of the Funds. The Funds do not know whether any of the underlying accounts own beneficially 25% or more of the voting securities of the Funds.   













REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

  of the Manor Investment Funds, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Manor Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund (collectively the “Funds”), the funds comprising the Manor Investment Funds, Inc., including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2015 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  The Funds were not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of December 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Funds as of December 31, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,  and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION

DECEMBER 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED)


Expense Example


As a shareholder of Manor Investment Funds, you incur ongoing costs which consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.


The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.


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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in these Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
