ABOUT MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (the _Fund_) is an open-end management
investment company. The Fund was incorporated in Pennsylvania on September
13, 1995. The Fund's registered office is 15 Chester Commons, Malvern, PA
19355. The company currently issues shares in three series, which we call
"Funds". Each series has distinct investment objectives and policies, and
a shareholder's interest is limited to the series in which he or she owns
shares. The series are the Manor Fund, Growth Fund, and Bond Fund. Each
is a "no-load" fund, and there are no sales or 12b-1 charges.
The funds are designed for long-term investors, including those who wish to
use shares of one or more series as a funding vehicle for tax-deferred
plans, including tax-qualified retirement plans and Individual Retirement
Account (IRA) plans.
The Funds
Manor Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and a moderate level of
income by investing primarily in the common stock of large
corporations, or securities convertible into the common stock of
these companies.
Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily
in the common stock of large to mid-sized corporations.
Bond Fund seeks to provide current income by investing primarily in
income producing securities issued by the U.S. Government or Agencies
of the U.S. Government.
Performance
For detailed information on Fund performance, including a bar chart and
table with comparisons to other indices, see "Performance Information" on
page 7 of this prospectus.
Risks
The Funds are intended for long-term investors who can accept fluctuations
in value and other risks associated with seeking the investment objectives
of each Fund. You should understand and consider carefully the risks
involved in a Fund before investing. See "Investment Risks" for more
information.
Purchases
Shares of the Funds may only be purchased from the Fund at net asset value
as next determined after receipt of order. The minimum initial purchase is
$1,000 and minimum subsequent purchase is $100.
Redemptions
Shares of the Funds may be redeemed by written request or by telephone
transfer between Funds.
Net Asset Value
The purchase and redemption of shares is at the net asset value per share
of that Fund. The net asset value is determined as of the close of regular
session trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or the appropriate exchange
where Fund securities are traded.
Adviser
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. provides management and investment advisory
services to the Funds.
EXPENSE INFORMATION

you buy, hold or sell shares of the fund. The expenses shown under Annual
Fund Operating Expenses are based upon those incurred in the fiscal year

Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The following
example illustrates the expenses paid on a $1,000 investment over various
time periods assuming (1) a 5% annual rate of return and (2) redemption at
the end of each time period. As noted above, the fund charges no
redemption fees.

expenses or performance. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those
shown.
The Growth Fund and the Bond Fund are new funds. It is expected that they
will not incur expenses greater than the operating expense allowance during
their development stage.
THE FUNDS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
The mutual funds offered by this prospectus are the Manor Fund, Growth
Fund, and Bond Fund. Each of the Funds is a no-load "mutual fund." There
is no commission or charge when shares are purchased, and no 12b-1 charges.
The Funds are a series of Manor Investment Funds, Inc., and each Fund is a
separate portfolio of securities and other assets, with its own investment
objective and policies. Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. provides investment
advisory and administrative services to the Funds.
HOW THE FUNDS INVEST
The primary consideration in the selection of stock investments for the
Funds is the current price of the shares relative to the earnings and
potential growth of earnings for each company. The Funds seek to invest in
companies who generate significant free cash flow for shareholders, which
can be reinvested in the business or used to repurchase outstanding shares
of the company. The primary consideration in the selection of bond
investments is high credit rating, current yield, and intermediate-term
maturity.
Manor Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and a moderate level of
income by investing primarily in the common stock of large U.S.
corporations, or securities convertible into the common stock of these
companies. 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 large companies with strong earnings and
dividends. These companies tend to be leaders in important industries
within the U.S. Economy. Some companies in the Fund may not pay dividends.
The Fund may also invest in exchange traded securities that track the value
of an underlying basket of securities such as the S&P 500 Index or the S&P
Mid-Cap Index.
Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in
the common stock of large to mid-size U.S. corporations, or securities
convertible into the common stock of these companies. 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 companies with the potential for strong
earnings growth. Most of these companies reinvest earnings and do not pay
dividends. The Fund may also invest in exchange traded securities that
track the value of an underlying basket of securities such as the S&P 500
Index or the S&P Mid-Cap Index.
Bond Fund seeks current income by investing primarily in U.S. Government
securities or securities issued by U.S. Government Agencies. The Fund may
also invest in short term securities issued at a discount to face value.
Other Strategies
Under normal market conditions, each Fund should be fully invested in the
types of securities described above. Within the limitations described in
this prospectus, the percentages of Fund assets invested will vary in
accordance with the judgement of the Advisor. To the extent that
investments meeting a Fund's criteria for investment are not available, or
when the Advisor considers a temporary defensive posture advisable, the
Fund may invest without limitation in high-quality corporate debt
obligations of U.S. companies, U.S. government and agency obligations, or
money market instruments.
In seeking to achieve its investment objective, each Fund ordinarily
invests on a long-term basis. Occasionally, securities purchased on a
long-term basis may be sold within 12 months of purchase if circumstances
of a particular company, industry, or the general market should change.
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.
INVESTMENT RISKS
Market Risk
The Manor Fund and the Growth Fund invest in common stocks, which can
decline in price over short or even extended periods. For five-year
timeperiods from 1926-1998 the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500
returned an average of 10.7%, with a high of 24.19% and a low of -12.5%.
Over the same time period small company stocks generated an average return
of 13.7%, but had higher risk, with a high of 45.9% and a low of -27.5%.
The Bond Fund invests in fixed income securities with an average
intermediate-term maturity. Over the same time period the average return
of these securities was 5.3%, with a high of 17.0% and a low of 1.0%.
Inflation Risk
Inflation represents a risk to an investment portfolio because it reduces
the real return of a portfolio over time. Historically, inflation averaged
3.2%, offsetting most of the returns from money market investments and
bonds. Using the illustration above, inflation reduced the returns from
the stock market by approximately one third.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risk of
investing in the Fund. The Bar chart shows the Fund's performance in each
calendar year since inception. The table shows how the Fund's average
annual returns compare to a broad-based securities index and an average of
other Funds in a peer group. Keep in mind that past performance does not
indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. 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.
During the period shown in the bar chart above the lowest return for a
calendar quarter for the Manor Fund was -15.5% during the 3rd Quarter of
1998, the highest return was 16.7% during the following quarter.
Average Annual Total Returns for the Years Ended March 31, 1999
Since
1 Year 3 Years Inception
9/25/95
Manor Fund 7.24 % 13.65 % 15.52 %
Lipper Growth & Income Fund Index 1.77 % 13.58 % 19.51 %
S&P 500 Index 4.98 % 28.57 % 28.08 %
Our performance was due, in part, to excellent returns from some of our
long-term holdings, and the fact that our laggards did not under perform
the market by much. Top performers this quarter included Delta Airlines
and Citigroup, two of our longest holdings, Gillette and McDonalds, two
_old time_ growth stocks, and Cisco Systems, a recent addition to the Fund.
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%.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
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. 10). It meets four times a year to review Fund progress and status.
In addition, a non-interested Director performs an independent audit
whenever requested by the Board.
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.
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 Funds (0.5% for the Bond 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 Funds to no more than
1.5% of averaged assets (1.0% for the Bond Fund).
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, record keeping 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
The authorized capitalization of the Funds is 10,000,000 shares of common
stock of $.001 par value per share. Each Fund share has equal dividend,
distribution and liquidation rights of that Fund.
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. Issues specific to a particular Fund are voted
only by shareholders of that Fund.
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.
YEAR 2000
The smooth operation of the Funds depends on the ability of the Funds'
custodian and the other service providers to the Funds to provide services
without interruption. Some computer systems used today are unable to
process date-related information because they are not programmed to
distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900. The Adviser, like
many other businesses, is taking steps to ensure that the computer systems
on which the smooth operation of the Funds depends will continue to
function properly. The Adviser is working with the service providers to
the Funds, such as the custodian and various broker-dealers through which
portfolio securities of the Funds are traded, to arrange for testing of
internal and external systems. Based on the information currently
available, the Adviser does not anticipate any material impact on the
delivery of services currently provided. There can be no guarantee,
however, that the steps taken by the Adviser in preparation for the year
2000 will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Funds.
SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
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.
PURCHASING SHARES
The offering price of shares is 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.
Initial purchase of shares of the Fund must be made by application to the
Fund. To purchase shares mail a check payable to Manor Investment Funds,
Inc., 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. Shareholders may also purchase shares of any Fund by
directing a transfer from another Fund by telephone. Shares can also be
purchased by automatic payroll deduction, or by automatic deduction from an
account that you specify.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
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 upon written request for redemption signed by the
shareholder. Proper endorsements guaranteed either by a national bank or a
member firm of the New York Stock Exchange may 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.
TAXES
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,
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.
REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Fund sends shareholders quarterly reports showing the value of their
account and the performance of the Fund. Shareholders also receive annual
reports containing certified financial statements and other periodic
reports, at least semiannually, containing unaudited financial statements.
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
The Fund maintains Individual Retirement Accounts that allow you to invest
in a Regular IRA, Roth IRA or SIMPLE IRA on a tax deferred basis. You may
also "roll over" or transfer a lump sum distribution from a qualified
pension or profit-sharing plan to your IRA, thereby postponing federal
income tax on the distribution. If your employer has a Simplified Employee
Pension Plan (SEP), you may establish a Regular IRA with the Fund to which
your employer may contribute, subject to special rules designed to avoid
discrimination.
There is no charge to open and maintain an IRA account with Manor
Investment Funds. 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. A Disclosure
Statement describing the general provisions of the retirement account is
provided for all prospective account holders, as required by U.S. Treasury
Regulations.
Distribution
The Fund acts as transfer agent for its own shares. First National Bank of
of West Chester acts as trustee for the Fund.

ABOUT MANOR INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end
management investment company. The Fund was incorporated in
Pennsylvania on September 13, 1995. The Fund's registered office
is 15 Chester Commons, Malvern, PA 19355. The company currently
issues shares in three series, which we call "Funds". Each
series has distinct investment objectives and policies, and a
shareholder's interest is limited to the series in which he or
she owns shares. The series are the Manor Fund, Growth Fund, and
Bond Fund. Each is a "no-load" fund, and there are no sales or
12b-1 charges.
THE FUNDS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
The mutual funds offered are the Manor Fund, Growth Fund, and
Bond Fund. Each of the Funds is a no-load "mutual fund." There
is no commission or charge when shares are purchased, and no 12b-
1 charges. The Funds are a series of Manor Investment Funds,
Inc., and each Fund is a separate portfolio of securities and
other assets, with its own investment objective and policies.
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. provides investment advisory and
administrative services to the Funds.
HOW THE FUNDS INVEST
The primary consideration in the selection of stock investments
for the Funds is the current price of the shares relative to the
earnings and potential growth of earnings for each company. The
Funds seek to invest in companies who generate significant free
cash flow for shareholders, which can be reinvested in the
business or used to repurchase outstanding shares of the company.
The primary consideration in the selection of bond investments is
high credit rating, current yield, and intermediate-term
maturity.
Manor Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and a moderate
level of income by investing primarily in the common stock of
large U.S. corporations, or securities convertible into the
common stock of these companies. 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 large companies with strong
earnings and dividends. These companies tend to be leaders in
important industries within the U.S. Economy. Some companies in
the Fund may not pay dividends. The Fund may also invest in
exchange traded securities that track the value of an underlying
basket of securities such as the S&P 500 Index or the S&P Mid-Cap
Index.
Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in the common stock of large to mid-size U.S.
corporations, or securities convertible into the common stock of
these companies. 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 companies with the potential for
strong earnings growth. Most of these companies reinvest
earnings and do not pay dividends. The Fund may also invest in
exchange traded securities that track the value of an underlying
basket of securities such as the S&P 500 Index or the S&P Mid-Cap
Index.
Bond Fund seeks current income by investing primarily in U.S.
Government securities or securities issued by U.S. Government
Agencies. The Fund may also invest in short term securities
issued at a discount to face value.
Other Strategies
Under normal market conditions, each Fund should be fully
invested in the types of securities described above. Within the
limitations described in this prospectus, the percentages of Fund
assets invested will vary in accordance with the judgement of the
Advisor. To the extent that investments meeting a Fund's
criteria for investment are not available, or when the Advisor
considers a temporary defensive posture advisable, the Fund may
invest without limitation in high-quality corporate debt
obligations of U.S. companies, U.S. government and agency
obligations, or money market instruments.
In seeking to achieve its investment objective, each Fund
ordinarily invests on a long-term basis. Occasionally,
securities purchased on a long-term basis may be sold within 12
months of purchase if circumstances of a particular company,
industry, or the general market should change.
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.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The By-Laws of the Fund provide the following fundamental
investment restrictions; the Fund may not, except by the approval
of a majority of the outstanding shares:
(a) Act as underwriter for securities of other issuers except
insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter in disposing
of its own portfolio.
(b) Issue senior securities, borrow money, or purchase securities
on margin, but may obtain such short term credit as may be
necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of securities
for temporary or emergency purposes in an amount not exceeding
5% of the value of its total assets.
(c) Sell securities short.
(d) Invest in securities of other investment companies except as
part of a merger, consolidation, or purchase of assets approved
by the Fund's shareholders or by purchases with no more that
10% of the Fund's assets in the open market involving only
customary brokers commissions.
(e) Invest more that 25% of its assets at the time of purchase in
any one industry.
(f) Make investments in commodities, commodity contracts or real
estate although the Fund may purchase and sell securities of
companies which deal in real estate or interests therein.
(g) Make loans. The purchase of a portion of a readily
marketable issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or
other debt securities will not be considered the making of a
loan.
(h) Acquire more than 10% of the securities of any class of
another issuer, treating all preferred securities of an issuer
as a single class and all debt securities as a single class, or
acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of another
issuer.
(i) Invest in companies for the purpose of acquiring control.
(j) Purchase or retain securities of any issuer if the officers
and directors of the Fund or its Investment Adviser owning
individually more than 1/2 of 1% of any class of security,
collectively own more than 5% of such class of securities of
such issuer.
(k) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets.
(l) Invest in securities which may be subject to registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 prior to sale to the public or
which are not at the time of purchase readily salable.
(m) Invest more than 5% of the total Fund assets, taken at market
value at the time of purchase, in securities of companies with
less than three years' continuous operation, including the
operations of any predecessor.

Fund.
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.
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 Funds (0.5% for the Bond 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 (1.0% for the Bond Fund).
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.
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.
CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capitalization of the Funds is 10,000,000 shares
of common stock of $.001 par value per share. Each Fund share
has equal dividend, distribution and liquidation rights of that
Fund.
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.
Issues specific to a particular Fund are voted only by
shareholders of that Fund.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
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. 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.
All shares are offered at Net Asset Value.
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, 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.
CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA
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.

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.

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Note 3-Distributions to Shareholders
On December 28, 1998, a distribution of $.19 per share,
aggregating $31,618, was declared from net investment income and
realized gains. The dividend was paid on December 28, 1998 to
shareholders of record on December 24, 1998.
On December 29, 1997, a distribution of $.20 per share,
aggregating $21,462 was declared from net investment income and
realized gains. The dividend was paid on December 29, 1997 to
shareholders of record on December 27, 1997.
Note 4-Capital Share Transactions
At December 31, 1998, there were 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par
value capital stock authorized and paid-in capital totaled
$2,296,177. Daniel A. Morris (see note 6), President of the Fund,

Note 5-Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term U.S.
government obligations) aggregated $1,310,051 in 1998; sales
aggregated $491,214. Net gain on investments for the year ended
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

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.
