INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
Objective: The primary objective of the Fund is capital
appreciation. A secondary objective is to provide a moderate
level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its
objectives primarily by investing in common stocks and securities
convertible into common stocks. It must be realized, as is true
of almost all securities, there can be no assurance that the Fund
will obtain its ongoing objective of capital appreciation and
moderate income.
Investment Policies
The Fund will invest primarily in common stock of large U.S.
corporations. The Fund will not invest in foreign securities,
and no more than 5% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in
companies that do not have three years of continuous operations.
The Fund will utilize information obtained from various sources
including earnings expectations, fundamental securities valuation
and securities price trends.
The Fund invests primarily in securities which provide favorable
growth prospects and some level of current income. The Fund may
also invest in securities which provide favorable growth
prospects but do not provide some level of current income. The
Fund may also invest in government and corporate bonds, or short-
term interest bearing securities, when the adviser believes
market conditions warrant a defensive position.
Portfolio Turnover Policy: The Fund does not propose to purchase
securities for short term trading in the ordinary course of
operations. Accordingly, it is expected that the annual turnover
rate will not exceed 50%, as computed by dividing the lesser of
the Fund's total purchases or sales of securities within the
period by the average monthly portfolio value of the Fund during
such period. There may be times when management deems it
advisable to substantially alter the composition of the
portfolio, in which event, the portfolio turnover rate might
substantially exceed 50%; this would only result from special
circumstances and not from the Fund's normal operations.
Nondiversification Policy: The Fund is classified as being non-
diversified which means that it may invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the obligations of a limited number
of issuers. The Fund, therefore, may be more susceptible than a
more widely diversified fund to any single economic, political,
or regulatory occurrence. The policy of the Fund, in the hope of
achieving its objective as stated above, is, therefore, one of
selective investments rather than broad diversification. The
Fund seeks only enough diversification for adequate
representation among what it considers to be the best performing
securities and to maintain its federal non-taxable status under
Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
INVESTMENT RISKS
Market Risk: The Fund invests in common stocks which can decline
in price over short or even extended periods. For five-year
timeperiods from 1926-1996 the stock market, as measured by the
S&P 500 returned an average of 10.4%, with a high of 23.9% and a
low of -12.5%.
Inflation Risk: Inflation represents a risk to an investment
portfolio because it reduces the real return of a portfolio over
time. Historically, inflation averaged 3.1%, offsetting most of
the returns from money market investments and bonds. Using the
illustration above, average inflation reduced the returns from
the stock market by approximately one third.
TAX STATUS
The Fund will endeavor to qualify annually for and elect tax
treatment applicable to a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). To
qualify as a _regulated investment company_ under Sub-Chapter
M, at least 90% of the Fund's income must be derived from
dividends, interest and gains from securities transactions, no
more than 30% of the Fund's profits may be derived from sales of
securities held less than three months, and no more than 50% of
the Fund's assets may be in security holdings of any issuer that
exceed 5% of the total assets of the Fund at the time of
purchase. Pursuant to the requirements of the Code, the Funds
intends to distribute annually, to its stockholders,
substantially all of its net investment income and realized
capital gains, if any, less any available capital loss carry-
over, to avoid paying income tax on its net investment income and
net realized capital gains of being subject to a federal excise
tax on undistributed net investment income and net realized
capital gains.
Distribution of any net long-term capital gains realized by the
fund will be taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital
gains, regardless of the length of time Fund shares have been
held by the investor. All income realized by the Fund including
short-term capital gains, will be taxable to the shareholder as
ordinary income. Dividends from net income will be made annually
or more frequently at the discretion of the Fund's Board of
Directors. Dividends received shortly after purchase of shares
by an investor will have the effect of reducing the per share net
asset value of his shares by the amount of such dividends or
distributions and, although in effect a return of capital, are
subject to federal income taxes.
The Fund is required by Federal law to withhold 31% of reportable
payments (which may include dividends, capital gains,
distributions and redemptions) paid to shareholders who have not
complied with IRS regulations. In order to avoid this
withholding requirement, you must certify on the application form
supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer
Identification Number provided is correct and that you are not
currently subject to back-up withholding, or that you are exempt
from back-up withholding.
INVESTMENT ADVISER
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc., 15 Chester Commons, Malvern, PA is
a Pennsylvania corporation that acts as sole Investment Adviser
to the Fund. Mr. Daniel A. Morris owns all outstanding shares of
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. He is the director and officer of
the Investment Adviser and is also president of the Fund. Mr.
Morris has been a shareholder, executive officer and portfolio
manager for investment advisors to mutual funds and other
investors since 1981.
On September 18, 1995 the shareholders of the Fund approved a
management and advisory contract with Morris Capital Advisors,
Inc., to act as Investment Adviser of the Fund, which was
unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. This agreement
will continue on a year to year basis provided that approval is
voted at least annually by a majority of the directors of the
Fund who are neither parties to the agreement nor interested
persons as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
Under the agreement, the Investment Adviser will direct the
purchase or sale of investment securities in accordance with the
stated objectives of the Fund, under the review of the Directors
of the Fund. The Agreement may be terminated at any time,
without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors or
by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Fund on not more than 60 days' written notice to the Investment
Adviser. In the event of its assignment, the Agreement will
terminate automatically. For these services the Fund has
agreed to pay to Morris Capital Advisors, Incorporated a fee of
1% per year on the net assets of the Fund. This rate of the
advisory fee is generally higher than that paid by most mutual
funds. All fees are computed on the average daily closing net
asset value of the Fund and are payable monthly. The Investment
Adviser will forego all or a portion of its fees in order to hold
the total expenses of the Fund to no more than 1.5% of averaged
assets.
Pursuant to its contract with the Fund, the Investment Adviser is
required to render research, statistical, and advisory services
to the Fund; and to make specific recommendations based on the
Fund's investment requirements. Fees of the custodian,
registrar, and transfer agents shall be paid by the Fund. The
Fund pays all other expenses, including fees and expenses of
directors not affiliated with the Adviser, if any; legal and
accounting fees; interest, taxes, and brokerage commissions,
recordkeeping and the expense of operating its offices. The
Investment Adviser has paid the initial organizational costs of
the Fund and will reimburse the Fund for any and all losses
incurred because of rescinded purchases.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Description of Common Stock: The authorized capitalization of the
Fund consists of 10,000,000 shares of common stock of $.001 par
value per share. Each share has equal dividend, distribution and
liquidation rights. There are no conversion or pre-emptive
rights applicable to any shares of the Fund. All shares issued
are fully paid and non-accessible.
Voting Rights: Each holder of common stock has one vote for each
share held. Voting rights are non-cumulative, which means that
the holders of a majority of shares of common stock can elect all
the directors of the Fund if they so choose, and the holders of
the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person as a
director.
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTIONS
The offering price of the shares offered by the Fund is at the
net asset value per share next determined after receipt of the
purchase order by the Fund and is computed in the manner
described under the caption _PRICING OF SHARES_ in this
prospectus. The Fund reserves the right at its sole discretion
to terminate the offering of its shares made by this Prospectus
at any time and to reject purchase applications when, in the
judgment of the management such termination or rejection is in
the best interests of the Fund. The Fund will maintain an
account for each shareholder for which no certificates have been
issued.
Purchases: Initial purchase of shares of the Fund must be made by
application to the Fund. To purchase shares complete the
application form included in this prospectus and mail to Manor
Investment Funds, 15 Chester Commons, Malvern, PA 19355. For
additional information contact the Fund at 610-722-0900.
Subsequent purchases may be made by mail or in person. The
minimum is $100, but less may be accepted under special
circumstances. Shareholders may also authorize the fund to
automatically debit their bank account to purchase shares by
completing the necessary information on their account
application.
Reinvestments: The Fund will automatically retain and reinvest
dividends and capital gain distributions and purchase additional
shares for the shareholder at net asset value as of the close of
business on the distribution date. A shareholder may at any time
by letter or forms supplied by the Fund direct the fund to pay
dividend and/or capital gains distributions, if any, to such
shareholder in cash.
Redemptions: The Fund will redeem all or any portion of the total
amount of the shares of any shareholder who tenders a written
request for redemption signed by the shareholder. If
certificates have been issued the shareholder must submit
properly executed certificates for redemption. In either case,
proper endorsements guaranteed either by a national bank or a
member firm of the New York Stock Exchange will be required
unless management knows the shareholder.
Shares are redeemed at the net asset value per share next
determined after notice is received by the Fund. The proceeds
received by the shareholder may be more or less than the cost of
such shares, depending upon the net asset value per share at the
time of redemption; the difference should be treated by the
shareholder as a capital gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes.
Payment by the Fund will ordinarily be made by check within seven
days after tender. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption
or postpone the date of payment if: The New York Stock Exchange
is closed for other than customary weekend or holiday closings,
or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission or when the
Securities and Exchange Commission has determined that an
emergency exists, making disposal of fund securities or valuation
of net assets not reasonably practicable.
To redeem shares send your written request to Manor Investment
Funds, 15 Chester Commons, Malvern, PA 19355. For additional
information contact the Fund at 610-722-0900.
RETIREMENT PLANS
Individual Retirement Account: Individuals who have compensation,
but who are either not covered by existing qualified retirement
plans, or are covered and do not have incomes which exceed
certain amounts, may contribute tax-deductible dollars to an IRA.
Individuals who are covered by existing retirement plans, and
whose incomes exceed the applicable amounts, are not permitted to
deduct their IRA contributions for federal income tax purposes.
However, whether an individual's contributions are deductible or
not, the earnings on his or her IRA are not taxed until the
account is distributed.
A Disclosure Statement is required by U.S. Treasury Regulations.
This Statement describes the general provisions of the IRA and is
forwarded to all prospective IRA's. There is no charge to open
and maintain a Manor Investment Funds IRA. The Board of
Directors may change this policy if they deem it to be in the
best interests of all shareholders. All IRA's may be revoked
within 7 days of their establishment with no penalty.
PRICING OF SHARES
The net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the
close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each business
day the Exchange is open (presently 4:00 p.m.).
The price is determined by dividing the value of its securities,
plus any cash and other assets less all liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The market value of securities
listed on a national exchange is determined to be the last recent
sales price on such exchange. Listed securities that have not
recently traded and over-the-counter securities are valued at the
last bid price in such market. Short term paper (debt
obligations that mature in less than 60 days) are valued at
amortized cost which approximates market value. Other assets are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
BROKERAGE
The Fund requires all brokers to effect transactions in portfolio
securities in such a manner as to get prompt execution of the
orders at the most favorable price. Where consistent with best
price and execution and in light of its limited resources, the
Fund will deal with primary market makers in placing over-the-
counter portfolio orders.
The Fund places all orders for purchase and sale of its portfolio
securities through the Fund President who is answerable to the
Fund Board of Directors. He may select brokers who, in addition
to meeting the primary requirements of execution and price have
furnished statistical or other factual information and services,
which, in the opinion of management, are helpful or necessary to
the Fund's normal operations. Those services may include
economic studies, industry studies, security analysis and
reports, sales literature and statistical services furnished
either directly to the Fund or to the Adviser. No effort is made
in any given circumstance to determine the value of these
materials or services or the amount by which they might have
reduced expenses of the Adviser.
Other than set forth above, the Fund has no fixed policy,
formula, method or criteria, which it uses in allocating
brokerage business to brokers furnishing materials and services.
The Board of Directors evaluates and reviews the reasonableness
of brokerage commissions paid semiannually.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
Shareholders meet annually to elect all members of the Board of
Directors, select an independent auditor, and vote on any other
items deemed pertinent by the incumbent Board. The Directors
supervise the operation of the Fund in accordance with its stated
objectives, policies, and investment restrictions. The Board
appoints the officers to run the Fund and selects an Investment
Adviser to provide investment advice (See Investment Adviser, pg.
5). It meets six times a year to review Fund progress and
status. In addition, a non-interested Director performs an
independent audit whenever requested by the Board.
REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Fund sends all shareholders annual reports containing
certified financial statements and other periodic reports, at
least semiannually, containing unaudited financial statements.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Fund's average annual compounded rate of return is the rate
of return which, if applied to an initial investment in the Fund
at the beginning of a stated period and compounded annually over
the period, would result in redeemable value of the investment in
the Fund at the end of the stated period. The calculation
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and
reflects the effect of all recurring fees but ignores individual
income tax consequences to stockholders.
Total Return Total Return Annualized
4th Quarter Full Year Total Return
1998 1998 Since Inception
Manor Investment Funds 16.70 % 13.65 % 15.52 %

Income Fund Index 16.25 % 13.58 % 19.51 %
S&P 500 Index 21.29 % 28.57 % 28.08 %
Our performance was due, in part, to strong returns from Cisco
Systems, IBM, Pfizer, Intel and McDonalds. Towards year-end we
sold our shares of Coca-Cola due to concerns over declining unit
growth. We reinvested in PepsiCo, Merck, K-Mart and duPont
because we felt that these companies represented reasonable
values. We also closed out some unprofitable positions to reduce
the impact of capital gains realized during the year.
The Fund invests primarily in companies that are priced
attractively relative the their earnings growth and financial
structure. The favorable market for these types of companies and
the high level of contributions into the Fund resulted in a low
portfolio turnover of 23%.

INVESTMENT ADVISER
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc., 15 Chester Commons Street,
Malvern, PA, is a Pennsylvania corporation that acts as sole
Investment Adviser to the Fund. Mr. Daniel A. Morris is the sole
owner, director and officer of the Investment Adviser and is also
president of the Fund. Mr. Morris owns all outstanding shares of
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. and he is the largest shareholder
of Manor Investment Funds. Mr. Morris has been a shareholder,
executive officer and portfolio manager for investment advisers
to mutual funds and other investors since 1981.
On September 18, 1995 the shareholders of the Fund approved
a management and advisory contract with Morris Capital Advisors,
Inc., to act as Investment Adviser of the Fund, which was
unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. This agreement
will continue on a year to year basis provided that approval is
voted at least annually by a majority of the directors of the
Fund who are neither parties to the agreement nor interested
persons as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
Under the agreement, the Investment Adviser will direct the
purchase or sale of investment securities in accordance with the
stated objectives of the Fund, under the review of the Directors
of the Fund. The Agreement may be terminated at any time,
without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors or
by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Fund on not more than 60 days' written notice to the Investment
Adviser. In the event of its assignment, the Agreement will
terminate automatically. For these services the Fund has agreed
to pay to Morris Capital Advisors, Incorporated a fee of 1% per
year on the net assets of the Fund. This rate is generally
higher than that paid by most mutual funds. All fees are
computed on the average daily closing net asset value of the Fund
and are payable monthly. The Investment Adviser will forego all
or a portion of its fees in order to hold the total expenses of
the Fund to no more than 1.5% of averaged assets.
Pursuant to its contract with the Fund, the Investment
Adviser is required to render research, statistical, and advisory
services to the Fund; and to make specific recommendations based
on the Fund's investment requirements. Fees of the custodian,
registrar, and transfer agents shall be paid by the Fund. The
Fund pays all other expenses, including fees and expenses of
directors not affiliated with the Adviser, if any; legal and
accounting fees; interest, taxes, and brokerage commissions,
recordkeeping and the expense of operating its offices. The
Investment Adviser has paid the initial organizational costs of
the Fund and will reimburse the Fund for any and all losses
incurred because of rescinded purchases.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE AND PERFORMANCE
As set forth in the Prospectus under the caption
_Determination of Net Asset Value_ the net asset value of the
Fund will be determined as of the close of trading on each day
the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. The New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading Monday through Friday except
New Year's Day, M. L. King Day, President's Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day, and Christmas Day. Additionally, if any of the
aforementioned holidays falls on a Saturday, the New York Stock
Exchange will not be open for trading on the preceding Friday and
when any such holiday falls on a Sunday, the New York Stock
Exchange will not be open for trading on the succeeding Monday,
unless unusual business conditions exist, such as the ending of a
monthly or yearly accounting period.
Any total rate of return quotation for the Fund will be for
a period of three or more months and will assume the reinvestment
of all dividends and capital gains distributions which were made
by the Fund during that period. Any period total rate of return
quotation of the fund will be calculated by dividing the net
change in value of a hypothetical shareholder account established
by an initial payment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period by
1,000. The net change in the value of a shareholder account is
determined by subtracting $1,000 from the product obtained by
multiplying the net asset value per share at the end of the
period by the sum obtained by adding (A) the number of shares
purchased at the beginning of the period plus (B) the number of
shares purchased during the period with reinvested dividends and
distributions. Any average annual compounded total rate of
return quotation of the Fund will be calculated by dividing the
redeemable value at the end of the period (i.e., the product
referred to in the preceding sentence) by $1,000. A root equal
to the period, measured in years, in question is then determined
and 1 is subtracted from such root to determine the average
annual compounded total rate of return.
The foregoing computation may also be expressed by the
following formula:
P(1+T)^n = ERV
P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
payment made at the beginning of the
stated periods at the end of the stated periods.
BROKERAGE
The Fund requires all brokers to effect transactions in
portfolio securities in such a manner as to get prompt execution
of the orders at the most favorable price. Where consistent with
best price and execution and in light of its limited resources,
the Fund will deal with primary market makers in placing over-
the-counter portfolio orders.
The Fund places all orders for purchase and sale of its
portfolio securities through the Fund President who is answerable
to the Fund Board of Directors. He may select brokers who, in
addition to meeting the primary requirements of execution and
price, have furnished statistical or other factual information
and services, which, in the opinion of management, are helpful or
necessary to the Fund's normal operations. Those services may
include economic studies, industry studies, security analysis and
reports, sales literature and statistical services furnished
either directly to the Fund or to the Adviser. No effort is made
in any given circumstance to determine the value of these
materials or services or the amount by which they might have
reduced expenses of the Adviser.
Brokerage commissions for the year ended December 31, 1998
was $3,223. Other than set forth above, the Fund has no fixed
policy, formula, method or criteria which it uses in allocating
brokerage business to brokers furnishing materials and services.
The Board of Directors evaluates and reviews the reasonableness
of brokerage commissions paid semiannually.
CUSTODIAN
The First National Bank of West Chester, 9 North High
Street, West Chester, PA acts as custodian for the Fund.
TAX STATUS
The Fund will endeavor to qualify annually for and elect tax
treatment applicable to a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the _ Code_ ). To
qualify as a _regulated investment company_ under Subchapter M,
at least 90% of the Fund's income must be derived from dividends,
interest and gains form securities transactions, no more that 30%
of the Fund's profits may be derived from sales of securities
held less than three months, and no more than 50% of the Fund's
assets may be in security holdings of any issuer that exceed 5%
of the total assets of the Fund at the time of purchase.
Distribution of any net long-term capital gains realized by
the fund will be taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital
gains, regardless of the length of time Fund shares have been
held by the investor. All income realized by the Fund including
short-term capital gains, will be taxable to the shareholder as
ordinary income. Dividends from net income will be made annually
or more frequently at the discretion of the Fund's Board of
Directors. Dividends received shortly after purchase of shares
by an investor will have the effect of reducing the per share net
asset value of his shares by the amount of such dividends or
distributions and, although in effect a return of capital, are
subject to federal income taxes.
The Fund is required by Federal law to withhold 31% of
reportable payments (which may include dividends, capital gains,
distributions and redemptions) paid to shareholders who have not
complied with IRS regulations. In order to avoid this
withholding requirement, you must certify on the application form
supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer
Identification Number provided is correct and that you are not
currently subject to back-up withholding, or that you are exempt
from back-up withholding.
SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS
Shareholders meet annually to elect all members of the Board
of Directors, select and independent auditor, and vote on any
other items deemed pertinent by the incumbent Board. The
Directors supervise the operation of the Fund in accordance with
its stated objectives, policies, and investment restrictions.
The Board appoints the officers to run the Fund and selects an
Investment Adviser to provide investment advice (see Investment
Adviser). It meets six times a year to review Fund progress and
status. In addition, a non-interested Director performs an
independent audit whenever requested by the Board.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT
Claude Granese, Certified Public Accountant, Spring House,
PA has been selected as the independent accountant and auditor of
the Fund. Claude Granese has no direct or indirect financial
interest in the Fund or the Adviser.
LITIGATION
As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information,
the Fund, as transfer agent, was cited in an administrative
proceeding with the SEC for not filing required TA-Y2K form. The
Fund has complied with the filing requirements and has responded
to an offer of settlement with the commission in this matter. It
is the opinion of Fund council that this matter will be settled
without any civil penalty. It is the opinion of the auditor of
the Fund that this does not present an adverse material impact
for the Fund.

Independent Auditor's Report
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors
Manor Investment Funds, Inc.
I have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (the Fund), including
the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 1998, and the
related statement 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 selected per share data, total
investment return, ratios and turnover for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and for the period ended
December 31, 1995. These financial statements, schedules, and per
share data, total investment return, ratios and turnover
(hereafter referred to collectively as _ financial statements_ )
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. My
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my
audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manor
Investment Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 1998, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the selected per share data, total investment return, ratios and
turnover for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
and the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1998
Note 1-Organization
Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated in
Pennsylvania on September 13, 1995. The Fund was in the initial
stages of development until January 27, 1996 when it began to
sell shares of its stock to the public. It is an open-end, non-
diversified management investment company that is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Fund's primary investment objective is capital appreciation.
It invests primarily in common stock of large U. S. corporations.
Note 2-Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles for investment
companies:
Security Valuation-Investments in 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. U. S. Treasury Bills are stated at market value, which
approximates cost plus accretion.
Cash-Cash consists of checking and money market accounts with the
custodian. As financial instruments, such accounts potentially
subject the Fund to concentration of credit risk. The carrying
value of these accounts approximates market value due to their
short-term nature.
Federal Income Taxes-The Fund's policy is to continue to comply
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are
applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all
of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income tax provision is required.
Distributions-Distributions to shareholders, which are determined
in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Development Stage-During its development stage there was
virtually no change in net assets from net investment income and
unrealized securities losses.
Other-The Fund follows industry practice and records security
transactions on the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on
the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the
accrual basis. Discounts on short-term U. S. government
obligations are accreted over the life of the obligation.

December 31, 1998 was $225,771. That amount represents the net
increase in value of investments held during the year. Net
unrealized gains of $356,149 on securities are the same for
financial reporting and tax reporting.
Note 6-Investment Advisory Fee
The Fund has an investment management and advisory services
agreement (the Agreement) with Morris Capital Advisors, Inc.
(Morris). Morris' sole shareholder, officer and director is
Daniel A. Morris.
Monthly, the Fund is required to pay Morris a fee (aggregating
$22,267 in 1998) equivalent to one percent per annum of the daily
average net assets of the Fund. The Fund bears expenses necessary
and incidental to the conduct of its business. However, Morris
has absorbed a portion of expenses ($5,375 in 1998) to maintain
total Fund expenses at no more than 1.5% annually of average
assets.
The Agreement must be approved annually by a majority vote of the
Fund's non-interested Board of Directors.
Note 7-Custody Agreement
Under an agreement, The First National Bank of West Chester (FNB)
acts as the Fund's custodian. FNB's fees are charged in
accordance with its standard rates for such services, payable
monthly. Such fees were $2,434 for the year ended December 31,
1998.
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors
Manor Investment Funds, Inc.
In planning and performing my audit of the financial statements
and selected per share data, ratios and turnover (hereafter
referred to collectively as the _ financial statements_ ) of
Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (the Fund), for the year ended
December 31, 1998, I considered its internal control, including
control activities for safeguarding securities. I did so to
determine my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my
opinion on the financial statements, and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal
control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's
objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes
that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to
the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
My consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control that might be material
weaknesses, under standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of the specific
internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in
amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions. However, I noted no matters involving
internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities that I consider to be a material weakness
as defined above as of December 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
