The author investigates the system of linear functional-differential equations of neutral type \[ \begin{aligned} &\frac{d}{dt} [D(x_t)-\varepsilon G(t,x_t)]= L(x_t)+\varepsilon F(t,x_t),\tag{1}\\ \quad &\frac{d}{dt} [D(u_t)]= L(u_t),\tag{2} \end{aligned} \] with \(x_t(\theta) = x(t+\theta)\), \(-\Delta\leq\theta\leq 0\), \(D: {\mathbb{C}}\to{\mathbb{R}}^n\), \(G:{\mathbb{R}}\times{\mathbb{C}}\to{\mathbb{R}}^n\), \(L:{\mathbb{C}}\to{\mathbb{R}}^n\), \(F:{\mathbb{R}}\times{\mathbb{C}}\to{\mathbb{R}}^n\), the functionals \(D\), \(L\), \(G\) and \(F\) are linear in \(x_t\). The existence of integral manifolds of the singularly perturbed system is proved. It is shown that the initial system can be splitted into two independent equations by linear substitution. This transformation is used for the investigation of stability in the critical case.
