Real Estate Series

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Real Estate Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

The Series’ investment objective is to provide high current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in companies in the real estate industry.

The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2014, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 42 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class I common stock.

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds,

Security Valuation (continued)

credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

*Prime AET&D Holdings No.1 Ltd. is a Level 3 security as of June 30, 2014. However, there is no value for this security reported in the financial statements. There was no activity in this security for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.

The Fund records distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund adjusts the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Federal Taxes

The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2014, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2013. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign Taxes

Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Series’ average daily net assets.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. An Audit Committee Chair, who receives an additional annual stipend for this role, was appointed to the Fund.

The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2015, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.95% of average daily net assets. The Advisor did not waive any fees for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.

The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. The Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0175% on the first $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); 0.015% on the next $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.01% of the average daily net assets in excess of $6 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $25,500 per series. Transfer Agent fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Effective October 1, 2012, the aforementioned agreements were modified to reduce the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration, as well as transfer agent fees, by 10%, excluding out-of-pocket expenses.

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
