ABOUT THE FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

      The investment objective,  the principal investment policies and the main risks of the
Fund are described in the  Prospectus.  This  Statement of Additional  Information  contains
supplemental  information  about those  policies and risks and the types of securities  that
the Fund's investment  adviser,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., (the "Manager") can select for the
Fund. Additional  information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund may use to
try to achieve its objective.

The Fund's Investment  Policies.  The composition of the Fund's portfolio and the techniques
and strategies  that the Manager may use in selecting  portfolio  securities  will vary over
time.  The Fund is not  required  to use all of the  investment  techniques  and  strategies
described  below at all  times in  seeking  its  objective.  It may use some of the  special
investment techniques and strategies at some times or not at all.

      |X| Cyclical  Opportunities.  The Fund might also seek to take advantage of changes in
the business  cycle by investing in  companies  that are  sensitive to those  changes if the
Manager  believes they have growth  potential.  For example,  when the economy is expanding,
companies in the consumer durables and technology  sectors might benefit and offer long-term
growth  opportunities.  Other cyclical industries include insurance,  for example.  The fund
focuses on seeking growth over the long term,  but could seek to take tactical  advantage of
short-term market movements or events affecting particular issuers or industries.

      |X|  Investments  in Equity  Securities.  The Fund focuses its  investments  in equity
securities of mid-cap growth companies.  Equity securities include common stocks,  preferred
stocks,  rights and warrants,  and  securities  convertible  into common  stock.  The Fund's
investments  will  primarily  include  stocks of  companies  having a market  capitalization
between  $2  billion  and  $11.5  billion,  generally  measured  at the  time of the  Fund's
investment.  However,  the Fund is not required to sell  securities of an issuer it holds if
the issuer's capitalization exceeds $11.5 billion.

      At times,  in the  Manager's  view,  the market may favor or  disfavor  securities  of
issuers  of  a  particular  capitalization  range.  Therefore  although  the  Fund  normally
invests,  as a  non-fundamental  policy, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for
investment  purposes) of its assets in equity  securities of mid-cap  issuers,  the Fund may
change the proportion of its equity  investments  in securities of different  capitalization
ranges,  based upon the  Manager's  judgment of where the best market  opportunities  are to
seek the Fund's objective.

      Growth  companies  might be providing  new products or services that could enable them
to  capture a  dominant  or  important  market  position.  They may have a  special  area of
expertise or the capability to take  advantage of changes in  demographic  factors in a more
profitable way than larger, more established companies.

      Growth  companies  tend  to  retain  a large  part of  their  earnings  for  research,
development  or  investment  in capital  assets.  Therefore,  they do not tend to  emphasize
paying  dividends,  and may not pay any dividends  for some time.  They are selected for the
Fund's portfolio  because the Manager believes the price of the stock will increase over the
long term.
      Current  income is not a  criterion  used to  select  portfolio  securities.  However,
certain debt  securities  may be selected for the Fund's  portfolio for  defensive  purposes
(including  debt  securities  that the Manager  believes  may offer some  opportunities  for
capital appreciation when stocks are disfavored).

      In general,  securities of mid-cap issuers may be subject to greater price  volatility
in general than securities of large-cap  companies.  Therefore,  to the degree that the Fund
has  investments  in medium  capitalization  companies  at times of market  volatility,  the
Fund's share price may fluctuate more than funds holding large cap securities.

            |_|  Over-the-Counter  Securities.  Mid-cap  growth  companies may offer greater
opportunities   for  capital   appreciation  than  securities  of  large,  more  established
companies.  However,  securities  of  mid-cap  companies  also  involve  greater  risks than
securities  of larger  companies.  Securities  of mid-cap  issuers  may trade on  securities
exchanges or in the  over-the-counter  market.  The  over-the-counter  markets,  both in the
United States and abroad,  may have less liquidity than securities  exchanges.  That lack of
liquidity  can affect the price the Fund is able to obtain when it wants to sell a security,
because if there are fewer buyers and less demand for a particular security,  the Fund might
not be able to sell it at an acceptable  price or might have to reduce the price in order to
dispose of the security.

      In the United  States,  the  principal  over-the-counter  market is the  NASDAQ  Stock
Market,  Inc., which is regulated by the National  Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc.
It consists of an electronic  quotation system for certain  securities,  and a security must
have at least two market  makers to be included in NASDAQ.  Other  over-the-counter  markets
exist in the United States, as well as those abroad,  wherever a dealer is willing to make a
market in a particular security.

            |_| Convertible Securities.  Convertible securities are debt securities that are
convertible  into an issuer's  common stock.  Convertible  securities  rank senior to common
stock in a  corporation's  capital  structure  and  therefore  are subject to less risk than
common stock in case of the issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.

            The value of a convertible  security is a function of its "investment value" and
its "conversion  value." If the investment value exceeds the conversion  value, the security
will behave more like a debt security,  and the security's  price will likely  increase when
interest rates fall and decrease when interest  rates rise. If the conversion  value exceeds
the investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security:  it will likely
sell at a premium over its conversion  value, and its price will tend to fluctuate  directly
with the price of the underlying security.

            While  convertible  securities are a form of debt security,  in many cases their
conversion  feature (allowing  conversion into equity securities) causes them to be regarded
more as "equity  equivalents."  As a result,  the credit rating assigned to the security has
less impact on the  Manager's  investment  decision with respect to  convertible  securities
than  in  the  case  of  non-convertible   fixed-income  securities.  To  determine  whether
convertible  securities should be regarded as "equity  equivalents," the Manager may examine
the following factors:

(1)   whether, at the option of the investor,  the convertible security can be exchanged for
               a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,
(2)   whether the issuer of the  convertible  securities has restated its earnings per share
               of  common  stock  on a  fully  diluted  basis  (considering  the  effect  of
               conversion of the convertible securities), and
(3)   the extent to which the convertible  security may be a defensive "equity  substitute,"
               providing the ability to participate in any  appreciation in the price of the
               issuer's common stock.

            |_|  Preferred  Stock.  Preferred  stock,  unlike  common  stock,  has a  stated
dividend rate payable from the  corporation's  earnings.  Preferred  stock  dividends may be
cumulative or non-cumulative.  "Cumulative"  dividend provisions require all or a portion of
prior  unpaid  dividends  to be paid before  dividends  can be paid on the  issuer's  common
stock.  Preferred stock may be  "participating"  stock,  which means that it may be entitled
to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

            If interest  rates rise,  the fixed  dividend  on  preferred  stocks may be less
attractive,  causing  the price of  preferred  stocks to decline.  Preferred  stock may have
mandatory  sinking fund  provisions,  as well as provisions  allowing  calls or  redemptions
prior to  maturity,  which can also have a negative  impact on prices  when  interest  rates
decline.  Preferred stock  generally has a preference over common stock on the  distribution
of a  corporation's  assets in the event of  liquidation of the  corporation.  The rights of
preferred stock on distribution of a corporation's  assets in the event of a liquidation are
generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation's debt securities.

      |_| Credit  Risk.  Convertible  securities  are  subject to credit  risk.  Credit risk
relates to the  ability of the issuer of a debt to make  interest or  principal  payments on
the  security as they become due. If the issuer  fails to pay  interest,  the Fund's  income
may be reduced  and if the issuer  fails to repay  principal,  the value of that bond and of
the Fund's shares may be reduced.  The Manager may rely to some extent on credit  ratings by
nationally-recognized  ratings agencies in evaluating the credit risk of securities selected
for the Fund's  portfolio.  It may also use its own  research  and  analysis.  Many  factors
affect an issuer's  ability to make timely  payments,  and the credit  risks of a particular
security  may change  over time.  The Fund may invest in  higher-yielding  lower-grade  debt
securities (that is,  securities below investment  grade),  which have special risks.  Those
are securities  rated below the four highest  rating  categories of Standard & Poor's Rating
Service (Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investors Service,  Inc.,  ("Moody's") or equivalent
ratings of other rating agencies or ratings assigned to a security by the Manager.

      |_|  Special  Risks of  Lower-Grade  Securities.  "Lower-grade"  debt  securities  are
those  rated below  "investment  grade"  which means they have a rating  lower than "Baa" by
Moody's or lower  than  "BBB" by  Standard  & Poor's,  or  similar  ratings by other  rating
organizations.  If they are unrated,  and are  determined by the Manager to be of comparable
quality to debt securities rated below investment  grade, they are included in limitation on
the percentage of the Fund's assets that can be invested in lower-grade securities.

      Among the special credit risks of lower-grade  securities is the greater risk that the
issuer may default on its obligation to pay interest or to repay  principal than in the case
of  investment-grade   securities.  The  issuer's  low  creditworthiness  may  increase  the
potential for  insolvency.  An overall  decline in values in the  high-yield  bond market is
also more likely during a period of general economic  downturn.  An economic  downturn or an
increase  in  interest  rates  could  severely  disrupt  the  market for  high-yield  bonds,
adversely  affecting  the values of  outstanding  bonds as well as the ability of issuers to
pay interest or repay principal.  In the case of foreign  high-yield bonds,  these risks are
in addition to the special  risk of foreign  investing  discussed in the  Prospectus  and in
this  Statement of Additional  Information.  To the extent they can be converted into stock,
convertible  securities  may be less  subject to some of these  risks  than  non-convertible
high-yield  bonds,  since stock may be more  liquid and less  affected by some of these risk
factors.

    While   securities  rated  "Baa"  by  Moody's  or  "BBB"  by  Standard  and  Poor's  are
investment-grade  and are not  regarded as junk bonds,  those  securities  may be subject to
special risks, and have some speculative characteristics.

       Interest Rate Risks.  In addition to credit risks,  convertible  debt  securities are
subject  to  changes  in value  when  prevailing  interest  rates  change.  When  prevailing
interest rates fall,  the values of  outstanding  debt  securities  generally  rise, and the
bonds may sell for more than their face amount.  When  prevailing  interest  rates rise, the
values  of  outstanding  debt  securities  generally  decline,  and the  bonds may sell at a
discount from their face amount.  The magnitude of these price changes is generally  greater
for bonds with longer  maturities.  Therefore,  when the average maturity of the Fund's debt
securities is longer, its share price may fluctuate more when interest rates change.

      Rights and  Warrants.  The Fund can invest up to 5% of its net assets in  warrants  or
rights.  That 5%  limitation  does not apply to warrants and rights the Fund has acquired as
part of units of  securities  or that are attached to other  securities  that the Fund buys.
Warrants  basically are options to purchase equity securities at specific prices valid for a
specific  period of time.  Their prices do not  necessarily  move  parallel to the prices of
the  underlying  securities.  Rights are  similar to  warrants,  but  normally  have a short
duration  and are  distributed  directly  by the  issuer  to its  shareholders.  Rights  and
warrants have no voting rights,  receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the
assets of the issuer.

      |X|  Portfolio  Turnover.  "Portfolio  turnover"  describes the rate at which the Fund
traded its portfolio  securities during its last fiscal period. For example,  if a fund sold
all of its  securities  during the year,  its portfolio  turnover rate would have been 100%.
The Fund's  portfolio  turnover rate will  fluctuate  from year to year. The Fund may have a
portfolio turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

      Increased  portfolio  turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction  costs for the
Fund,  which can reduce its overall  performance.  Additionally,  the realization of capital
gains from selling  portfolio  securities may result in distributions  of taxable  long-term
capital gains to  shareholders,  since the Fund will normally  distribute all of its capital
gains realized each year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

Other  Investment  Techniques and Strategies.  In seeking its objective,  the Fund from time
to time can use the types of investment  strategies and investments  described  below. It is
not required to use all of these strategies at all times, and at times may not use them.

      |X| Foreign  Securities.  "Foreign  securities"  include equity and debt securities of
companies  organized  under the laws of  countries  other  than the  United  States and debt
securities  of foreign  governments  that are traded on foreign  securities  exchanges or in
foreign  over-the-counter  markets.  The Fund can purchase equity and debt securities (which
may be denominated in U.S. dollars or non-U.S.  currencies) issued by foreign  corporations,
or that are issued or guaranteed by certain  supranational  entities  (described  below), or
foreign  governments  or their  agencies  or  instrumentalities.  These  include  securities
issued  by  U.S.  corporations  denominated  in  non-U.S.   currencies.   In  normal  market
conditions the Fund does not expect to hold significant amounts of foreign debt securities.

      Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American  Depository Receipts or
that are  listed  on a U.S.  securities  exchange  or  traded  in the U.S.  over-the-counter
markets are not considered  "foreign  securities"  for the purpose of the Fund's  investment
allocations.  That is because they are not subject to some of the special considerations and
risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Investing  in  foreign   securities  offers  potential  benefits  not  available  from
investing solely in securities of domestic  issuers.  They include the opportunity to invest
in foreign  issuers  that appear to offer growth  potential,  or in foreign  countries  with
economic  policies  or  business  cycles  different  from  those of the  U.S.,  or to reduce
fluctuations  in portfolio  value by taking  advantage of foreign  stock markets that do not
move in a manner  parallel to U.S.  markets.  The Fund will hold  foreign  currency  only in
connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities.

            Risks  of  Foreign  Investing.  Investments  in  foreign  securities  may  offer
special   opportunities  for  investing  but  also  present  special  additional  risks  and
considerations  not typically  associated with investments in domestic  securities.  Some of
these additional risks are:

o     reduction of income by foreign taxes;
o     fluctuation  in value  of  foreign  investments  due to  changes  in  currency  rates,
         currency  devaluation  or  currency  control  regulations  (for  example,  currency
         blockage);
o     transaction charges for currency exchange;
o     lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o     lack of uniform  accounting,  auditing and  financial  reporting  standards in foreign
         countries comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers;
o     less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o     greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;
o     less governmental  regulation of foreign issuers,  stock exchanges and brokers than in
         the U.S.;
o     greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o     higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o     increased  risks  of  delays  in  settlement  of  portfolio  transactions  or  loss of
         certificates for portfolio securities;
o     possibilities in some countries of expropriation,  confiscatory  taxation,  political,
         financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and
o     unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.
o     foreign exchange contracts
o     foreign withholding taxes on interest and dividends

      In the past, U.S.  government  policies have discouraged certain investments abroad by
U.S.  investors,  through  taxation  or other  restrictions,  and it is  possible  that such
restrictions could be re-imposed.

|X|   Passive  Foreign  Investment  Companies.  Some  securities of  corporations  domiciled
outside the U.S. which the Fund may purchase,  may be considered  passive foreign investment
companies  ("PFICs")  under  U.S.  tax  laws.  PFICs are those  foreign  corporations  which
generate  primarily  passive  income.  They  tend  to  be  growth  companies  or  "start-up"
companies.  For federal tax purposes,  a corporation  is deemed a PFIC if 75% or more of the
foreign  corporation's  gross income of the income year is passive  income or if 50% or more
of its assets are assets that produce or are held to produce passive income.  Passive income
is further defined as any income to be considered  foreign  personal  holding company income
within the subpart F provisions defined by IRCss.954.

      Investing  in  PFICs  involves  the  risks   associated   with  investing  in  foreign
securities,  as described above. There are also the risks that the Fund may not realize that
a foreign  corporation  it invests in is a PFIC for federal tax  purposes.  Federal tax laws
impose  severe tax penalties for failure to properly  report  investment  income from PFICs.
Following industry standards,  the Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal
tax  reporting  of these  investments.  PFICs  are  considered  foreign  securities  for the
purposes of the Fund's  minimum  percentage  requirements  or  limitations  of  investing in
foreign securities.

      Subject to the limits  under the  Investment  Company Act, the Fund may also invest in
foreign  mutual  funds  which are also  deemed  PFICs  (since  nearly all of the income of a
mutual  fund is  generally  passive  income).  Investing  in these  types of PFICs may allow
exposure to various countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit,  all direct
foreign investment in the securities of companies domicile therein.

      In addition to bearing  their  proportionate  share of a fund's  expenses  (management
fees and operating  expenses),  shareholders  will also indirectly bear similar  expenses of
such entities.  Additional  risks of investing in other  investment  companies are described
below under "Investment in Other Investment Companies."

      Special Risks of Emerging  Markets.  Emerging and  developing  markets abroad may also
offer special  opportunities for growth investing but have greater risks than more developed
foreign markets, such as those in Europe,  Canada,  Australia,  New Zealand and Japan. There
may be even less liquidity in their  securities  markets,  and  settlements of purchases and
sales of securities may be subject to additional  delays.  They are subject to greater risks
of limitations on the  repatriation of income and profits  because of currency  restrictions
imposed by local  governments.  Those  countries  may also be subject to the risk of greater
political and economic  instability,  which can greatly  affect the  volatility of prices of
securities in those countries.

      |X|  Investing in Small,  Unseasoned  Companies.  The Fund can invest in securities of
small,  unseasoned companies.  These are companies that have been in operation for less than
three  (3)  years,  including  the  operations  of any  predecessors.  Securities  of  these
companies  may be subject to volatility  in their  prices.  They may have a limited  trading
market,  which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the
price the Fund might be able to obtain for them.  Other investors that own a security issued
by a small,  unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security
when the Fund is  attempting to dispose of its holdings of that  security.  In that case the
Fund might  receive a lower price for its holdings than might  otherwise be obtained.  These
are more speculative securities and can increase the Fund's overall portfolio risks.

      |X|  Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fund can acquire  securities  subject to  repurchase
agreements.  It might do so
o     for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares, or
o     pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of Fund shares, or
o     pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions, or
o     for temporary defensive purposes, as described below.

      In a  repurchase  transaction,  the Fund  buys a  security  from,  and  simultaneously
resells it to, an approved  vendor for delivery on an  agreed-upon  future date.  The resale
price  exceeds the purchase  price by an amount that reflects an  agreed-upon  interest rate
effective  for the period  during  which the  repurchase  agreement  is in effect.  Approved
vendors include U.S.  commercial  banks,  U.S.  branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers
that have been  designated  as primary  dealers  in  government  securities.  They must meet
credit requirements set by the Manager from time to time.

      The majority of these  transactions run from day to day, and delivery  pursuant to the
resale  typically  occurs  within one to five days of the  purchase.  Repurchase  agreements
having a maturity  beyond  seven days are subject to the Fund's  limits on holding  illiquid
investments.  The Fund will not enter into a repurchase  agreement that causes more than 15%
of its net assets to be subject to repurchase  agreements having a maturity beyond seven (7)
days.  There is no limit on the  amount of the  Fund's  net  assets  that may be  subject to
repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

      Repurchase  agreements,  considered  "loans" under the Investment  Company Act of 1940
(the "Investment  Company Act"), are collateralized by the underlying  security.  The Fund's
repurchase  agreements  require  that at all times  while  the  repurchase  agreement  is in
effect,  the value of the  collateral  must  equal or exceed the  repurchase  price to fully
collateralize  the  repayment  obligation.  However,  if the vendor  fails to pay the resale
price on the delivery  date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may
experience  losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. The Manager  will  monitor
the  vendor's  creditworthiness  to confirm  that the vendor is  financially  sound and will
continuously monitor the collateral's value.

      Pursuant to an Exemptive  Order issued by the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the
"SEC"), the Fund, along with other affiliated entities managed by the Manager,  may transfer
uninvested  cash balances into one or more joint  repurchase  accounts.  These  balances are
invested  in one or more  repurchase  agreements,  secured  by U.S.  government  securities.
Securities that are pledged as collateral for repurchase  agreements are held by a custodian
bank until the  agreements  mature.  Each joint  repurchase  arrangement  requires  that the
market value of the  collateral be sufficient to cover  payments of interest and  principal;
however,  in the event of default by the other party to the agreement,  retention or sale of
the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

      |X|  Illiquid  and   Restricted   Securities.   Under  the  policies  and   procedures
established  by the Fund's  Board of  Trustees,  the Manager  determines  the  liquidity  of
certain of the Fund's  investments.  To enable the Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted
security not  registered  under the applicable  securities  laws, the Fund may have to cause
those  securities to be registered.  The expenses of registering  restricted  securities may
be  negotiated  by the Fund with the issuer at the time the Fund buys the  securities.  When
the Fund  must  arrange  registration  because  the Fund  wishes  to sell  the  security,  a
considerable  period may elapse  between the time the  decision is made to sell the security
and the time the security is  registered so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear
the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

      The Fund can also acquire  restricted  securities  through private  placements.  Those
securities have contractual  restrictions on their public resale.  Those  restrictions might
limit the Fund's  ability to dispose of the  securities  and might lower the amount the Fund
could realize upon the sale.

      The Fund has limitations that apply to purchases of restricted  securities,  as stated
in the Prospectus.  Those percentage  restrictions  are not fundamental  policies and do not
limit  purchases  of  restricted   securities  that  are  eligible  for  sale  to  qualified
institutional  purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, if those securities
have been  determined to be liquid by the Manager  under  Board-approved  guidelines.  Those
guidelines take into account the trading  activity for such securities and the  availability
of  reliable  pricing  information,  among  other  factors.  If there  is a lack of  trading
interest in a particular  Rule 144A  security,  the Fund's  holdings of that security may be
considered to be illiquid.  Illiquid  securities include repurchase  agreements  maturing in
more than seven days.

      |X| Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  To raise cash for  liquidity  purposes,  the Fund
can lend  its  portfolio  securities  to  brokers,  dealers  and  other  types of  financial
institutions  approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.  These loans are limited to not more
than 25% of the value of the Fund's  total  assets.  The Fund  currently  does not intend to
engage in loans of  securities,  but if it does so, such loans will not likely  exceed 5% of
the Fund's total assets.

      There  are  some  risks  in  connection  with  securities  lending.   The  Fund  might
experience  a delay in  receiving  additional  collateral  to  secure a loan,  or a delay in
recovery  of  the  loaned  securities  if the  borrower  defaults.  The  Fund  must  receive
collateral for a loan. Under current applicable  regulatory  requirements (which are subject
to change),  on each business day the loan collateral must be at least equal to the value of
the loaned  securities.  It must consist of cash, bank letters of credit,  securities of the
U.S.  government or its agencies or  instrumentalities,  or other cash  equivalents in which
the Fund is permitted to invest.  To be  acceptable  as  collateral,  letters of credit must
obligate a bank to pay  amounts  demanded  by the Fund if the demand  meets the terms of the
letter.  The terms of the letter of credit and the  issuing  bank both must be  satisfactory
to the Fund.

      When it lends  securities,  the  Fund  receives  amounts  equal  to the  dividends  or
interest on loaned  securities.  It also receives one or more of (a)  negotiated  loan fees,
(b) interest on  securities  used as  collateral,  and (c) interest on any  short-term  debt
securities  purchased with such loan collateral.  Either type of interest may be shared with
the borrower.  The Fund may also pay reasonable finder's,  custodian and administrative fees
in connection  with these loans.  The terms of the Fund's loans must meet  applicable  tests
under the Internal Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to reacquire  loaned  securities on
five (5) days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

      |X|  Borrowing  for  Leverage.  The Fund has the ability to borrow for  leverage up to
10% of the value of its net assets from banks on an  unsecured  basis to invest the borrowed
funds in portfolio  securities.  This speculative technique is known as "leverage." The Fund
may borrow only from banks.  Currently,  under the Investment  Company Act, absent exemptive
relief,  a mutual fund may borrow only from banks and the maximum amount it may borrow is up
to one-third of its total assets  (including the amount  borrowed) less all  liabilities and
indebtedness  other than  borrowing.  If the value of the Fund's  assets  fails to meet this
300% asset  coverage  requirement,  the Fund will reduce its bank debt within  three days to
meet the requirement.  To do so, the Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at
a disadvantageous time.

      The Fund will pay interest on these loans,  and that  interest  expense will raise the
overall  expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.  If it does borrow,  its expenses will
be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow for leverage.  Additionally,  the Fund's
net asset  value per  share  might  fluctuate  more than that of funds  that do not  borrow.
Currently,  the Fund does not contemplate  using this technique,  but if it does so, it will
not likely do so to a substantial degree.

      |X|  Derivatives.  The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative  investments to seek
income for liquidity needs or for hedging  purposes.  Some  derivative  investments the Fund
can use are the  hedging  instruments  described  below  in  this  Statement  of  Additional
Information.  However,  the Fund does not use,  and does not  currently  contemplate  using,
derivatives or hedging  instruments to a significant degree and is not obligated to use them
in seeking its objective.

      Some of the derivative  investments  the Fund can use include "debt  exchangeable  for
common stock" of an issuer or  "equity-linked  debt  securities" of an issuer.  At maturity,
the debt  security is exchanged for common stock of the issuer or it is payable in an amount
based on the price of the issuer's common stock at the time of maturity.  Both  alternatives
present a risk that the amount  payable at maturity will be less than the  principal  amount
of the debt  because  the price of the  issuer's  common  stock  might not be as high as the
Manager expected.

      |X| Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can also invest in the
securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end
funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits set forth in the Investment Company
Act that apply to those types of investments, and the following additional limitation: the
Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment companies or registered
unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the
Investment Company Act. For example, the Fund can invest in Exchange-Traded Funds, which
are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange. The
Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the segments of the equity or fixed-income
markets represented by the Exchange-Traded Funds' portfolio, at times when the Fund may not
be able to buy those portfolio securities directly.

      Investing  in another  investment  company  may  involve  the  payment of  substantial
premiums above the value of such investment  company's  portfolio  securities and is subject
to  limitations  under the  Investment  Company  Act.  The Fund does not intend to invest in
other investment  companies  unless the Manager believes that the potential  benefits of the
investment  justify the payment of any premiums or sales  charges.  As a  shareholder  of an
investment  company,  the Fund  would be  subject to its  ratable  share of that  investment
company's expenses,  including its advisory and administration  expenses.  The Fund does not
anticipate  investing a substantial  amount of its net assets in shares of other  investment
companies.

      |X|  Hedging.  Although  the Fund does not  anticipate  the  extensive  use of hedging
instruments,  the Fund can use them.  It is not required to do so in seeking its  objective.
To attempt to protect  against  declines  in the market  value of the Fund's  portfolio,  to
permit the Fund to retain  unrealized gains in the value of portfolio  securities which have
appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons, the Fund could:

o     sell futures contracts,
o     buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o     write covered  calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls can also be used to seek
            income, but the Manager does not expect to engage extensively in that practice.

      The Fund can use  hedging  to  establish  a  position  in the  securities  market as a
temporary  substitute  for  purchasing  particular  securities.  In that case the Fund would
normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate that hedging position.  The Fund
might also use this type of hedge to attempt to protect  against  the  possibility  that its
portfolio  securities would not be fully included in a rise in value of the market. To do so
the Fund could:


o     buy futures, or
o     buy calls on such futures or on securities.

      The Fund's  strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be incidental
to the Fund's activities in the underlying cash market. The particular  hedging  instruments
the Fund can use are  described  below.  The Fund may employ  new  hedging  instruments  and
strategies  when they are developed,  if those  investment  methods are consistent  with the
Fund's investment objective and are permissible under applicable  regulations  governing the
Fund.

      Futures.  The  Fund  can buy and sell  futures  contracts  that  relate  to (1)  stock
indices  (these are referred to as "stock index  futures") (2) an individual  stock ("single
stock futures"), (3) foreign currencies (these are referred to as "forward contracts"),  and
(4) commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

      A broadly-based  stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index futures.  In
some cases  stock  indices  may be based on stocks of issuers in a  particular  industry  or
group of industries.  A stock index assigns relative values to the common stocks included in
the index and its value  fluctuates  in response  to the changes in value of the  underlying
stocks.  A stock index cannot be purchased or sold directly.  These  contracts  obligate the
seller to deliver,  and the purchaser to take cash to settle the futures  obligation.  There
is no delivery of the underlying securities to settle the obligation.

      A single stock  future  obligates  the seller to deliver  (and the  purchaser to take)
cash or a specified  equity security to settle the futures  transaction.  Either party could
also enter into an  offsetting  contract to close out the  position.  Single  stock  futures
trade on a very limited  number of exchanges,  with  contracts  typically not fungible among
the exchanges.

      The Fund can invest a portion of its assets in commodity future  contracts.  Commodity
futures may be based upon  commodities  within five (5) main commodity  groups:  (1) energy,
which  includes  crude oil,  natural gas,  gasoline and heating  oil; (2)  livestock,  which
includes cattle and hogs; (3) agriculture,  which includes wheat,  corn,  soybeans,  cotton,
coffee,  sugar and cocoa; (4) industrial  metals,  which includes  aluminum,  copper,  lead,
nickel,  tin and zinc; and (5) precious  metals,  which includes gold,  platinum and silver.
The Fund may purchase and sell commodity  futures  contracts,  options on futures  contracts
and options and  futures on  commodity  indices  with  respect to these five main  commodity
groups  and the  individual  commodities  within  each  group,  as well as  other  types  of
commodities.

      A single stock  future  obligates  the seller to deliver  (and the  purchaser to take)
cash or a specified  equity security to settle the futures  transaction.  Either party could
also enter into an  offsetting  contract to close out the  position.  Single  stock  futures
trade on a very limited  number of exchanges,  with  contracts  typically not fungible among
the exchanges.

      No payment is paid or received by the Fund on the  purchase or sale of a future.  Upon
entering into a futures transaction,  the Fund will be required to deposit an initial margin
payment  with the  futures  commission  merchant  (the  "futures  broker").  Initial  margin
payments will be deposited with the Fund's  custodian  bank in an account  registered in the
futures  broker's  name.  However,  the futures  broker can gain access to that account only
under  specified  conditions.  As the future is marked to market  (that is, its value on the
Fund's  books is  changed)  to  reflect  changes  in its  market  value,  subsequent  margin
payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker daily.

      At any time prior to  expiration  of the  future,  the Fund may elect to close out its
position by taking an opposite  position,  at which time a final  determination of variation
margin is made and any  additional  cash must be paid by or released  to the Fund.  Any loss
or gain  on the  future  is  then  realized  by the  Fund  for  tax  purposes.  All  futures
transactions  (except forward  contracts) are effected  through a  clearinghouse  associated
with the exchange on which the contracts are traded.

            Put and Call  Options.  The Fund can buy and sell  certain  kinds of put options
("puts")  and  call  options  ("calls").  The  fund  can buy and  sell  exchange-traded  and
over-the-counter   put  and  call  options,   including  options  on  indices,   securities,
currencies, commodities and futures.

            Writing  Covered  Call  Options.  The Fund can  write  (that is,  sell)  covered
calls.  If the Fund sells a call  option,  it must be covered.  That means the Fund must own
the security  subject to the call while the call is  outstanding,  or, for certain  types of
calls,  the call may be covered by  segregating  liquid assets to enable the Fund to satisfy
its  obligations if the call is exercised.  Not more than 25% of the Fund's total assets may
be subject to calls the Fund writes.

      When the Fund writes a call,  it receives  cash (a premium).  In the case of a call on
a  security,  the  Fund  agrees  to  sell  the  underlying  security  to  a  purchaser  of a
corresponding  call on the same security  during the call period at a fixed  exercise  price
regardless  of market price changes  during the call period.  The call period is usually not
more  than  nine  months.  The  exercise  price  may  differ  from the  market  price of the
underlying  security.  The  Fund  has the risk of loss  that  the  price  of the  underlying
security may decline  during the call period.  That risk may be offset to some extent by the
premium  the Fund  receives.  If the value of the  investment  does not rise  above the call
price,  it is likely  that the call will lapse  without  being  exercised.  In that case the
Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.

      When the Fund writes a call on an index,  it receives  cash (a premium).  If the buyer
of the call  exercises  it,  the Fund  will pay an amount  of cash  equal to the  difference
between the closing  price of the call and the  exercise  price,  multiplied  by a specified
multiple that  determines the total value of the call for each point of  difference.  If the
value of the underlying  investment does not rise above the call price it is likely that the
call will  lapse  without  being  exercised.  In that  case,  the Fund  would  keep the cash
premium.

      The Fund's custodian bank, or a securities  depository  acting for the custodian bank,
will act as the  Fund's  escrow  agent,  through  the  facilities  of the  Options  Clearing
Corporation  ("OCC"),  as to the  investments  on which the Fund has written calls traded on
exchanges  or as to other  acceptable  escrow  securities.  In that way,  no margin  will be
required for such  transactions.  OCC will release the  securities on the  expiration of the
option or when the Fund enters into a closing transaction.

      To  terminate  its  obligation  on a call it has  written,  the  Fund may  purchase  a
corresponding  call in a  "closing  purchase  transaction."  The Fund  will  then  realize a
profit or loss,  depending  upon  whether  the net of the amount of the  option  transaction
costs and the  premium  received  on the call the Fund  wrote is more or less than the price
of the call the Fund purchases to close out the  transaction.  The Fund may realize a profit
if the call expires  unexercised,  because the Fund will retain the underlying  security and
the premium it received when it wrote the call. Any such profits are  considered  short-term
capital  gains for federal  income tax purposes,  as are the premiums on lapsed calls.  When
distributed  by the Fund they are taxable as ordinary  income.  If the Fund cannot  effect a
closing purchase  transaction due to the lack of a market, it will have to hold the callable
securities until the call expires or is exercised.

            Writing  Uncovered  Call Options on Futures  Contracts.  The Fund may also write
calls on a futures contract  without owning the futures  contract or securities  deliverable
under the contract.  To do so, at the time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call
by  segregating  an  equivalent  dollar  amount of liquid  assets.  The Fund will  segregate
additional  liquid  assets if the value of the  segregated  assets  drops  below 100% of the
current value of the future.  Because of this segregation  requirement,  in no circumstances
would the  Fund's  receipt  of an  exercise  notice as to that  future  require  the Fund to
deliver a futures contract. It would simply put the Fund in a short futures position,  which
is permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

            Writing  Put  Options.  The  Fund  can  sell  put  options.  A put  option  on a
security  gives the purchaser the right to sell,  and the writer the  obligation to buy, the
underlying  security  at the  exercise  price  during the option  period.  The Fund will not
write  puts if, as a  result,  more  than 50% of the  Fund's  net  assets  would  have to be
segregated to cover put options.

      If the Fund sells a put option,  it must be covered by segregated  liquid assets.  The
premium the Fund  receives  from writing a put option  represents  a profit,  as long as the
price of the underlying  investment  remains above the exercise  price of the put.  However,
the Fund also  assumes  the  obligation  during  the  option  period  to buy the  underlying
investment  from  the  buyer  of the put at the  exercise  price,  even if the  value of the
investment  falls  below  the  exercise  price.  If  the  Fund  writes  a put  that  expires
unexercised,  the Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium less transaction  costs.
If the put is exercised,  the Fund must fulfill its  obligation  to purchase the  underlying
investment  at the exercise  price.  That price will usually  exceed the market value of the
investment  at that  time.  In that  case,  the  Fund  may  incur  a loss  if it  sells  the
underlying  investment.  That  loss  will be  equal  to the  sum of the  sale  price  of the
underlying  investment and the premium  received minus the sum of the exercise price and any
transaction costs incurred.

      When  writing a put  option on a  security,  to secure its  obligation  to pay for the
underlying  security the Fund will identify  liquid assets on its books having a value equal
to or  greater  than the  exercise  price of the  underlying  security.  The Fund  therefore
forgoes the  opportunity of investing the  segregated  assets or writing calls against those
assets.

      As long as the Fund's  obligation as the put writer  continues,  it may be assigned an
exercise  notice by the  exchange  or  broker-dealer  through  which the put was sold.  That
notice will require the Fund to exchange  currency  (for a put written on a currency) at the
specified  rate of  exchange  or to take  delivery of the  underlying  security  and pay the
exercise  price.  The Fund has no  control  over when it may be  required  to  purchase  the
underlying  security,  since it may be assigned an exercise  notice at any time prior to the
termination  of its  obligation as the writer of the put. That  obligation  terminates  upon
expiration  of the put.  It may also  terminate  if,  before the Fund  receives  an exercise
notice,  the Fund effects a closing  purchase  transaction  by  purchasing a put of the same
series as it sold.  Once the Fund has been assigned an exercise  notice,  it cannot effect a
closing purchase transaction.

      The Fund may decide to effect a closing  purchase  transaction  to realize a profit on
an outstanding  put option it has written or to prevent the  underlying  security from being
put.  Effecting a closing  purchase  transaction  will permit the Fund to write  another put
option on the security or to sell the security and use the proceeds  from the sale for other
investments.  The Fund will  realize a profit  or loss from a closing  purchase  transaction
depending on whether the cost of the  transaction is less or more than the premium  received
from  writing the put option.  Any  profits  from  writing  puts are  considered  short-term
capital gains for federal tax purposes,  and when  distributed  by the Fund,  are taxable as
ordinary income.

            Purchasing  Calls and Puts. The Fund can purchase  calls to protect  against the
possibility  that the Fund's  portfolio will not  participate in an anticipated  rise in the
securities  market.   When  the  Fund  buys  a  call  (other  than  in  a  closing  purchase
transaction),  it pays a  premium.  The  Fund  then  has  the  right  to buy the  underlying
investment  from a seller of a  corresponding  call on the same  investment  during the call
period at a fixed  exercise  price.  The Fund benefits only if it sells the call at a profit
or if, during the call period,  the market price of the  underlying  investment is above the
sum of the call price plus the  transaction  costs and the premium paid for the call and the
Fund  exercises  the call. If the Fund does not exercise the call or sell it (whether or not
at a profit),  the call will become  worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund
will have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

      The  Fund can buy  puts  whether  or not it holds  the  underlying  investment  in its
portfolio.  When the Fund  purchases  a put,  it pays a  premium  and,  except as to puts on
indices,  has  the  right  to sell  the  underlying  investment  to a  seller  of a put on a
corresponding investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price.

      Buying a put on an  investment  the Fund  does  not own  (such as an index or  future)
permits the Fund to resell the put or to buy the  underlying  investment  and sell it at the
exercise  price.  The  resale  price  will vary  inversely  to the  price of the  underlying
investment.  If the market price of the  underlying  investment is above the exercise  price
and, as a result, the put is not exercised,  the put will become worthless on its expiration
date.

      Buying a put on  securities  or futures  the Fund owns  enables the Fund to attempt to
protect  itself  during  the put  period  against a decline  in the value of the  underlying
investment  below the exercise  price by selling the  underlying  investment at the exercise
price to a seller of a corresponding  put. If the market price of the underlying  investment
is equal to or above the  exercise  price  and,  as a result,  the put is not  exercised  or
resold,  the put will become  worthless at its  expiration  date. In that case the Fund will
have paid the premium but lost the right to sell the  underlying  investment.  However,  the
Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration.  That sale may or may not be at a profit.

      Buying a put on an  investment  the Fund  does  not own  (such as an index or  future)
permits the Fund to resell the put or to buy the  underlying  investment  and sell it at the
exercise  price.  The  resale  price  will vary  inversely  to the  price of the  underlying
investment.  If the market price of the  underlying  investment is above the exercise  price
and, as a result, the put is not exercised,  the put will become worthless on its expiration
date.


      When the Fund  purchases a call or put on an index or Future,  it pays a premium,  but
settlement  is in cash rather than by delivery  of the  underlying  investment  to the Fund.
Gain or loss  depends on changes in the index in question  (and thus on price  movements  in
the securities market generally) rather than on price movements in individual  securities or
futures contracts.

      The Fund may buy a call or put only if, after the purchase,  the value of all call and
put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

            Buying and  Selling  Options on  Foreign  Currencies.  The Fund can buy and sell
calls  and  puts on  foreign  currencies.  They  include  puts  and  calls  that  trade on a
securities  or  commodities  exchange  or in the  over-the-counter  markets or are quoted by
major  recognized  dealers in such  options.  The Fund could use these calls and puts to try
to protect against  declines in the dollar value of foreign  securities and increases in the
dollar cost of foreign securities the Fund wants to acquire.

      If the Manager  anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign  currency in which
securities to be acquired are  denominated,  the increased  cost of those  securities may be
partially  offset by  purchasing  calls or writing  puts on that  foreign  currency.  If the
Manager anticipates a decline in the dollar value of a foreign currency,  the decline in the
dollar value of portfolio securities  denominated in that currency might be partially offset
by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign  currency.  However,  the currency rates
could  fluctuate  in a  direction  adverse to the Fund's  position.  The Fund will then have
incurred option premium payments and transaction costs without a corresponding benefit.

      A call the Fund  writes  on a  foreign  currency  is  "covered"  if the Fund  owns the
underlying  foreign  currency  covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to
acquire that foreign currency  without  additional cash  consideration  (or it can do so for
additional  cash  consideration  from  liquid  assets  identified  on the Fund's  books upon
conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio.

      The Fund  could  write a call on a  foreign  currency  to  provide  a hedge  against a
decline  in the U.S.  dollar  value of a  security  which  the Fund owns or has the right to
acquire and which is denominated in the currency  underlying the option.  That decline might
be one that occurs due to an expected  adverse  change in the exchange  rate.  This is known
as a  "cross-hedging"  strategy.  In those  circumstances,  the Fund  covers  the  option by
identifying  liquid assets on its books having a value equal to the aggregate  amount of the
Fund's commitment under such option position.

      Risks of Hedging  with Options and Futures.  The use of hedging  instruments  requires
special  skills and  knowledge of  investment  techniques  that are  different  than what is
required for normal portfolio  management.  If the Manager uses a hedging  instrument at the
wrong  time or judges  market  conditions  incorrectly,  hedging  strategies  may reduce the
Fund's  return.  The Fund could also  experience  losses if the  prices of its  futures  and
options positions were not correlated with its other investments.

      The Fund's option  activities  could affect its portfolio  turnover rate and brokerage
commissions.  The exercise of calls written by the Fund might cause the Fund to sell related
portfolio  securities,  thus  increasing its turnover rate. The exercise by the Fund of puts
on  securities  will  cause  the  sale  of  underlying  investments,   increasing  portfolio
turnover.  Although  the  decision  whether to  exercise a put it holds is within the Fund's
control,  holding a put might  cause the Fund to sell the  related  investments  for reasons
that would not exist in the absence of the put.

      The Fund could pay a  brokerage  commission  each time it buys a call or put,  sells a
call,  or buys or sells an underlying  investment in connection  with the exercise of a call
or put.  Those  commissions  could be higher on a relative  basis than the  commissions  for
direct  purchases  or sales of the  underlying  investments.  Premiums  paid for options are
small in relation to the market value of the underlying investments.  Consequently,  put and
call options  offer large  amounts of leverage.  The leverage  offered by trading in options
could  result in the Fund's net asset value being more  sensitive to changes in the value of
the underlying investment.

      If a  covered  call  written  by the  Fund is  exercised  on an  investment  that  has
increased in value,  the Fund will be required to sell the investment at the call price.  It
will not be able to realize any profit if the  investment  has  increased in value above the
call price.

      An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides  secondary trading
for options of the same series,  and there is no assurance  that a liquid  secondary  market
will  exist for any  particular  option.  The Fund might  experience  losses if it could not
close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option.

      There is a risk in using  short  hedging by  selling  futures  or  purchasing  puts on
broadly-based  indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the
Fund's  portfolio  securities.  The risk is that the prices of the futures or the applicable
index  will  correlate  imperfectly  with the  behavior  of the cash  prices  of the  Fund's
securities.  For example,  it is possible  that while the Fund has used hedging  instruments
in a short hedge,  the market may advance and the value of the securities held in the Fund's
portfolio  might  decline.  If that  occurred,  the Fund  would  lose  money on the  hedging
instruments  and  also  experience  a  decline  in the  value of its  portfolio  securities.
However,  while this could  occur for a very brief  period or to a very small  degree,  over
time the  value of a  diversified  portfolio  of  securities  will  tend to move in the same
direction as the indices upon which the hedging instruments are based.

      The  risk  of  imperfect  correlation  increases  as the  composition  of  the  Fund's
portfolio  diverges from the securities  included in the applicable index. To compensate for
the  imperfect  correlation  of movements  in the price of the  portfolio  securities  being
hedged and  movements  in the price of the hedging  instruments,  the Fund might use hedging
instruments in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of portfolio  securities being
hedged.  It  might  do so if the  historical  volatility  of  the  prices  of the  portfolio
securities being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

      The ordinary  spreads  between  prices in the cash and futures  markets are subject to
distortions,  due to differences in the nature of those markets.  First, all participants in
the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance  requirements.  Rather than
meeting  additional  margin  deposit  requirements,  investors may close  futures  contracts
through  offsetting  transactions  which could distort the normal  relationship  between the
cash  and  futures  markets.  Second,  the  liquidity  of  the  futures  market  depends  on
participants  entering into offsetting  transactions  rather than making or taking delivery.
To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery,  liquidity in the futures market
could be reduced, thus producing  distortion.  Third, from the point of view of speculators,
the deposit  requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in
the securities  markets.  Therefore,  increased  participation by speculators in the futures
market may cause temporary price distortions.

      The Fund can use  hedging  instruments  to  establish  a  position  in the  securities
markets as a temporary  substitute for the purchase of individual  securities (long hedging)
by buying futures and/or calls on such futures,  broadly-based indices or on securities.  It
is  possible  that  when  the Fund  does so the  market  might  decline.  If the  Fund  then
concludes  not to invest in  securities  because of concerns  that the market might  decline
further or for other reasons,  the Fund will realize a loss on the hedging  instruments that
is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

      Forward  Contracts.  Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange  contracts.  They
are used to buy or sell  foreign  currency for future  delivery at a fixed  price.  The Fund
uses  them to "lock  in" the  U.S.  dollar  price of a  security  denominated  in a  foreign
currency  that the Fund has  bought or sold,  or to protect  against  possible  losses  from
changes in the relative  values of the U.S. dollar and a foreign  currency.  The Fund limits
its exposure in foreign currency exchange  contracts in a particular foreign currency to the
amount of its assets  denominated  in that currency or a  closely-correlated  currency.  The
Fund may also use "cross-hedging"  where the Fund hedges against changes in currencies other
than the currency in which a security it holds is denominated.

      Under a forward  contract,  one party agrees to purchase,  and another party agrees to
sell, a specific  currency at a future date.  That date may be any fixed number of days from
the date of the contract  agreed upon by the parties.  The  transaction  price is set at the
time the contract is entered  into.  These  contracts  are traded in the  inter-bank  market
conducted  directly  among  currency  traders  (usually  large  commercial  banks) and their
customers.

      The Fund may use forward  contracts  to protect  against  uncertainty  in the level of
future  exchange  rates.  The use of  forward  contracts  does  not  eliminate  the  risk of
fluctuations  in the  prices  of the  underlying  securities  the Fund  owns or  intends  to
acquire,  but it does fix a rate of exchange  in advance.  Although  forward  contracts  may
reduce  the risk of loss from a decline  in the value of the  hedged  currency,  at the same
time they limit any potential gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

      When  the  Fund  enters  into a  contract  for the  purchase  or  sale  of a  security
denominated in a foreign currency,  or when it anticipates  receiving dividend payments in a
foreign  currency,  the Fund might desire to "lock-in" the U.S. dollar price of the security
or the U.S.  dollar  equivalent  of the  dividend  payments.  To do so, the Fund could enter
into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency  involved
in the  underlying  transaction,  in a fixed amount of U.S.  dollars per unit of the foreign
currency.  This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge will protect the Fund
against a loss from an  adverse  change in the  currency  exchange  rates  during the period
between  the date on which the  security  is  purchased  or sold or on which the  payment is
declared, and the date on which the payments are made or received.

      The Fund  could  also  use  forward  contracts  to lock in the  U.S.  dollar  value of
portfolio  positions.  This is  called a  "position  hedge."  When the  Fund  believes  that
foreign currency might suffer a substantial  decline against the U.S. dollar, it could enter
into a forward contract to sell an amount of that foreign currency  approximating  the value
of some or all of the Fund's  portfolio  securities  denominated  in that foreign  currency.
When the Fund believes that the U.S.  dollar might suffer a  substantial  decline  against a
foreign currency,  it could enter into a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a
fixed dollar amount.  Alternatively,  the Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a
different  foreign  currency for a fixed U.S.  dollar  amount if the Fund  believes that the
U.S. dollar value of the foreign  currency to be sold pursuant to its forward  contract will
fall  whenever  there  is a  decline  in the U.S.  dollar  value  of the  currency  in which
portfolio securities of the Fund are denominated.  That is referred to as a "cross hedge."

      The Fund will cover its short  positions in these cases by  identifying  liquid assets
on its books having a value equal to the  aggregate  amount of the Fund's  commitment  under
forward  contracts.  The Fund  will not enter  into  forward  contracts  or  maintain  a net
exposure to such contracts if the  consummation  of the contracts would obligate the Fund to
deliver  an amount of  foreign  currency  in  excess  of the value of the  Fund's  portfolio
securities  or other assets  denominated  in that  currency or another  currency that is the
subject of the hedge.

      However,  to avoid excess  transactions and transaction costs, the Fund may maintain a
net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio  securities
or other  assets  denominated  in foreign  currencies  if the excess  amount is "covered" by
liquid  securities  denominated  in any  currency.  The cover must be at least  equal at all
times to the  amount  of that  excess.  As one  alternative,  the Fund may  purchase  a call
option  permitting  the Fund to purchase  the amount of foreign  currency  being hedged by a
forward  sale  contract  at a price no higher than the forward  contract  price.  As another
alternative,  the Fund may purchase a put option  permitting  the Fund to sell the amount of
foreign currency  subject to a forward  purchase  contract at a price as high or higher than
the forward contact price.

      The precise  matching  of the amounts  under  forward  contracts  and the value of the
securities  involved  generally will not be possible  because the future value of securities
denominated in foreign  currencies will change as a consequence of market movements  between
the date the  forward  contract is entered  into and the date it is sold.  In some cases the
Manager  might  decide to sell the  security  and  deliver  foreign  currency  to settle the
original  purchase  obligation.  If the market value of the security is less than the amount
of foreign  currency  the Fund is  obligated  to  deliver,  the Fund might have to  purchase
additional  foreign  currency on the "spot"  (that is,  cash)  market to settle the security
trade. If the market value of the security  instead  exceeds the amount of foreign  currency
the Fund is  obligated  to deliver  to settle the trade,  the Fund might have to sell on the
spot market some of the  foreign  currency  received  upon the sale of the  security.  There
will be additional transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.

      The projection of short-term  currency market  movements is extremely  difficult,  and
the  successful  execution of a short-term  hedging  strategy is highly  uncertain.  Forward
contracts  involve  the risk that  anticipated  currency  movements  will not be  accurately
predicted,  causing  the Fund to sustain  losses on these  contracts  and to pay  additional
transactions  costs.  The use of forward  contracts  in this manner  might reduce the Fund's
performance if there are  unanticipated  changes in currency prices to a greater degree than
if the Fund had not entered into such contracts.

      At or  before  the  maturity  of a  forward  contract  requiring  the  Fund  to sell a
currency,  the Fund  might  sell a  portfolio  security  and use the sale  proceeds  to make
delivery of the currency.  In the  alternative the Fund might retain the security and offset
its contractual  obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second  contract.  Under
that  contract  the Fund will  obtain,  on the same  maturity  date,  the same amount of the
currency  that it is  obligated  to deliver.  Similarly,  the Fund might close out a forward
contract  requiring it to purchase a specified  currency by entering into a second  contract
entitling it to sell the same amount of the same  currency on the maturity date of the first
contract.  The Fund  would  realize  a gain or loss as a result  of  entering  into  such an
offsetting forward contract under either  circumstance.  The gain or loss will depend on the
extent to which the exchange rate or rates  between the  currencies  involved  moved between
the execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract.

      The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward  contracts  varies with  factors  such as
the currencies  involved,  the length of the contract period and the market  conditions then
prevailing.  Because  forward  contracts are usually  entered into on a principal  basis, no
brokerage fees or  commissions  are involved.  Because these  contracts are not traded on an
exchange,  the Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty  under
each forward contract.

      Although  the Fund  values  its  assets  daily in terms of U.S.  dollars,  it does not
intend to convert its  holdings of foreign  currencies  into U.S.  dollars on a daily basis.
The Fund may convert  foreign  currency from time to time, and will incur costs in doing so.
Foreign exchange  dealers do not charge a fee for conversion,  but they do seek to realize a
profit  based on the  difference  between  the  prices  at which  they buy and sell  various
currencies.  Thus, a dealer might offer to sell a foreign  currency to the Fund at one rate,
while  offering a lesser rate of exchange if the Fund desires to resell that currency to the
dealer.

      Regulatory Aspects of Hedging  Instruments.  The Commodities Future Trading Commission
(the  "CFTC")  recently  eliminated  limitations  on futures  trading  by certain  regulated
entities including registered  investment companies and consequently  registered  investment
companies may engage in unlimited  futures  transactions  and options thereon  provided that
the Fund claims an exclusion  from  regulation as a commodity  pool  operator.  The Fund has
claimed  such an  exclusion  from  registration  as a  commodity  pool  operator  under  the
Commodity  Exchange  Act  ("CEA").  The Fund may use  futures  and  options  for hedging and
non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with its investment  objective,  internal risk
management  guidelines adopted by the Fund's investment advisor (as they may be amended from
time to time),  and as otherwise  set forth in the Fund's  prospectus  or this  statement of
additional information.

      Transactions  in options by the Fund are  subject to  limitations  established  by the
option  exchanges.  The exchanges limit the maximum number of options that may be written or
held by a single  investor or group of  investors  acting in  concert.  Those  limits  apply
regardless  of whether  the  options  were  written or  purchased  on the same or  different
exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more different  exchanges or
through one or more  brokers.  Thus,  the number of options  that the Fund may write or hold
may be affected by options  written or held by other entities,  including  other  investment
companies  having the same  advisor as the Fund (or an advisor  that is an  affiliate of the
Fund's  advisor).  The exchanges also impose  position  limits on futures  transactions.  An
exchange may order the  liquidation  of  positions  found to be in violation of those limits
and may impose certain other sanctions.

      Under  interpretations  of staff  members of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
regarding  applicable  provisions of the  Investment  Company Act, when the Fund purchases a
future,  it must  segregate cash or readily  marketable  short-term  debt  instruments in an
amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.


      Tax  Aspects  of  Certain  Hedging  Instruments.  Certain  foreign  currency  exchange
contracts  in which the Fund may invest are treated as "Section  1256  contracts"  under the
Internal  Revenue Code. In general,  gains or losses  relating to Section 1256 contracts are
characterized  as 60% long-term and 40%  short-term  capital gains or losses under the Code.
However,  foreign  currency  gains or losses  arising from Section 1256  contracts  that are
forward  contracts  generally are treated as ordinary  income or loss. In addition,  Section
1256 contracts held by the Fund at the end of each taxable year are  "marked-to-market," and
unrealized  gains or losses are treated as though they were realized.  These  contracts also
may be marked-to-market  for purposes of determining the excise tax applicable to investment
company  distributions  and for  other  purposes  under  rules  prescribed  pursuant  to the
Internal  Revenue  Code.  An election can be made by the Fund to exempt  those  transactions
from this marked-to-market treatment.

      Certain  forward  contracts the Fund enters into may result in "straddles" for federal
income tax  purposes.  The straddle  rules may affect the  character and timing of gains (or
losses)  recognized by the Fund on straddle  positions.  Generally,  a loss sustained on the
disposition  of a position  making up a straddle is allowed only to the extent that the loss
exceeds  any  unrecognized  gain  in  the  offsetting  positions  making  up  the  straddle.
Disallowed  loss is generally  allowed at the point where there is no  unrecognized  gain in
the offsetting positions making up the straddle, or the offsetting position is disposed of.

      Under the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  the  following  gains or losses  are  treated  as
ordinary income or loss:
(1)   gains or losses  attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the
         time the Fund accrues  interest or other  receivables or accrues  expenses or other
         liabilities  denominated  in a  foreign  currency  and the time  the Fund  actually
         collects such receivables or pays such liabilities, and
(2)   gains or losses  attributable  to  fluctuations  in the  value of a  foreign  currency
         between  the  date of  acquisition  of a debt  security  denominated  in a  foreign
         currency or foreign currency forward contracts and the date of disposition.
      Currency  gains and losses are offset  against  market  gains and losses on each trade
before  determining  a net "Section  988" gain or loss under the  Internal  Revenue Code for
that  trade,  which may  increase  or decrease  the amount of the Fund's  investment  income
available for distribution to its shareholders.

      |X|  Temporary  Defensive  and  Interim   Investments.   When  market  conditions  are
unstable,  or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks,
the Fund can invest in a variety of debt  securities  for defensive  purposes.  The Fund can
also  purchase  these  securities  for  liquidity  purposes  to meet  cash  needs due to the
redemption of Fund shares,  or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale
of other portfolio securities. The Fund can buy:

o     high-quality,  short-term money market instruments, including those issued by the U.S.
            Treasury or other government agencies,
o     commercial  paper  (short-term,  unsecured,  promissory  notes of  domestic or foreign
            companies),
o     short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers,
o     certificates  of deposit and bankers'  acceptances  of domestic and foreign  banks and
            savings and loan associations, and
o     repurchase agreements.

      Short-term  debt  securities   would  normally  be  selected  for  defensive  or  cash
management  purposes  because  they can normally be disposed of quickly,  are not  generally
subject to significant  fluctuations in principal value and their value will be less subject
to interest rate risk than longer-term debt securities.

Investment Restrictions

      |X| What Are "Fundamental  Policies?" Fundamental policies are those policies that the
Fund has  adopted  to  govern  its  investments  that can be  changed  only by the vote of a
"majority" of the Fund's outstanding  voting  securities.  Under the Investment Company Act,
a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

o     67% or more of the shares present or  represented  by proxy at a shareholder  meeting,
         if the  holders  of  more  than  50% of  the  outstanding  shares  are  present  or
         represented by proxy, or
o     more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Fund's investment  objective is a fundamental policy.  Other policies described in
the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information are  "fundamental"  only if they
are  identified as such.  The Fund's Board of Trustees can change  non-fundamental  policies
without shareholder  approval.  However,  significant changes to investment policies will be
described in  supplements  or updates to the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional
Information,  as appropriate.  The Fund's most significant investment policies are described
in the Prospectus.

      |X| What are the Fund's  Additional  Fundamental  Policies?  The following  investment
restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

o     The Fund cannot buy securities  issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5%
         of its total assets would be invested in  securities  of that issuer or if it would
         then own  more  than  10% of that  issuer's  voting  securities.  That  restriction
         applies to 75% of the Fund's total  assets.  The limit does not apply to securities
         issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.
o     The Fund  cannot  invest in physical  commodities  or  physical  commodity  contracts.
         However,  the Fund can buy and sell hedging  instruments to the extent specified in
         its  Prospectus  and this  Statement of Additional  Information  from time to time.
         The Fund can also buy and sell options,  futures,  securities or other  instruments
         backed by, or the investment  return from which,  is linked to changes in the price
         of, physical commodities.
o     The Fund  cannot lend  money.  However,  it can invest in all or a portion of an issue
         of bonds,  debentures,  commercial  paper or other similar  corporate  obligations.
         The Fund may also lend its portfolio  securities subject to the restrictions stated
         in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information  and can enter into
         repurchase transactions.
o     The Fund cannot  concentrate  investments.  That means it cannot invest 25% or more of
         its total assets in companies in any one industry.
o     The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies.  A permitted exception is in
         case it is  deemed  to be an  underwriter  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933 when
         reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.
o     The Fund cannot  invest in real estate or in interests in real  estate.  However,  the
         Fund can purchase  readily-marketable  securities of companies  holding real estate
         or interests in real estate.
o     The  Fund  cannot  issue  "senior  securities."  However,  that  restriction  does not
         prohibit the Fund from borrowing  money subject to the provisions set forth in this
         Statement of Additional  Information,  or from entering into margin,  collateral or
         escrow arrangements permitted by its other investment policies.

      |X|  Non-Fundamental  Investment  Restrictions.   The  Fund  has  a  number  of  other
investment  restrictions  that are not  fundamental  policies,  which means that they can be
changed by vote of a majority of the Fund's Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

o     The  Fund  cannot  invest  in  companies  for the  purpose  of  acquiring  control  or
         management of them.
o     The Fund cannot  invest in or hold  securities  of any issuer if officers and Trustees
         or directors of the Fund or the Manager  individually or beneficially own more than
      1/2 of 1% of the  securities  of that  issuer  and  together  own more than 5% of the
         securities of that issuer.
o     The Fund  cannot  purchase  securities  on margin.  However,  the Fund can make margin
         deposits in connection with any of the hedging instruments  permitted by any of its
         other investment policies.
o     The Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment companies or
         registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of
         section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act.
o     The Fund cannot  pledge,  mortgage or  hypothecate  any of its assets.  However,  this
         does not  prohibit the escrow  arrangements  contemplated  by writing  covered call
         options or other  collateral or margin  arrangements  in connection with any of the
         hedging instruments permitted by any of its other investment policies.
      Unless the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional  Information  states that a
percentage  restriction  applies on an ongoing  basis,  it applies only at the time the Fund
makes  an  investment   (except  in  the  case  of  borrowing  and  investments  in  illquid
securities).  The Fund need not sell  securities to meet the percentage  limits if the value
of the investment increases in proportion to the size of the Fund.

      For purposes of the Fund's  policy not to  concentrate  its  investments  as described
above,  the Fund has adopted the  industry  classifications  set forth in Appendix A to this
Statement of Additional Information.  That is not a fundamental policy.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS.

      Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings.  The Fund has adopted policies and procedures
      concerning the dissemination by employees, officers and/or directors of the
      Investment Advisor, Distributor, and Transfer Agent of information about the
      portfolio securities holdings of the Funds.  These policies are designed to assure
      that dissemination of non-public information about portfolio securities is
      distributed for a legitimate business purpose, and is done in a manner that (a)
      conforms to applicable laws and regulations and (b) is designed to prevent that
      information from being used in a way that could negatively affect the Fund's
      investment program or enable third parties to use that information in a manner that
      is harmful to a Fund.

      Until publicly disclosed, a Fund's portfolio holdings are proprietary, confidential
      business information. While recognizing the importance of providing Fund shareholders
      with information about their Fund's investments and providing portfolio information
      to a variety of third parties to assist with the management, distribution and
      administrative process, such need for transparency must be balanced against the risk
      that third parties who gain access to a Fund's portfolio holdings information could
      attempt to use that information to trade ahead of or against the Fund, which could
      negatively affect the prices the Fund is able to obtain in portfolio transactions or
      the availability of the portfolio securities that portfolio managers are trading in
      on a Fund's behalf.

      The Investment Advisor and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees, officers, and
      directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or other consideration
      (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund or in other investment
      companies or accounts managed by the Investment Advisor or any affiliated person of
      the Investment Advisor) in connection with the disclosure of a Fund's non-public
      portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees or other fees and
      compensation paid to the investment Advisor and their subsidiaries pursuant to
      agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or
      "consideration" for these purposes.  It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any
      covered person to release holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure
      policies and procedures adopted by the Fund.

      A list of the top 10 or more portfolio securities holdings (based on invested
                        ----------
      assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be
      disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than 15 days
      after month-end.  The top 10 or more  holdings also shall be posted on the
      OppenheimerFunds' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com in the "Fund Profiles"
      section.  Other general information about a Fund's portfolio investments, such as
      portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or
      maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

      Except under special limited circumstances discussed below, month-end lists of a
      Fund's complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed no sooner than 30-days after the
      relevant month-end, subject to the procedures below. If they have not been disclosed
      publicly, they may be disclosed pursuant to special requests for legitimate business
      reasons, provided that:

o     The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund portfolio
            holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;
o     Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Investment Advisor's
            Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed request for release
            of Fund portfolio holdings; and
o     The third-party recipient must sign the Investment Advisor's portfolio holdings
            non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data, agreeing to keep
            confidential information that is not publicly available regarding a Fund's
            holdings and agreeing not to trade directly or indirectly based on the
            information.

      Complete Fund portfolio holdings positions may be released to the following
      categories of entities or individuals on an ongoing basis, provided that such entity
      or individual either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information
      confidential and not trade on the basis of such information or (2) is subject to
      fiduciary obligations, as a member of the Fund's Board, or as an employee, officer
      and/or director of the Investment Advisor,  Distributor, or Transfer Agent, or their
      respective legal counsel, not to disclose such information except in conformity with
      these policies and procedures and not to trade for his/her personal account on the
      basis of such information:

o     Employees of the Fund's Investment Advisor, Distributor and Transfer Agent who need
            to have access to such information (as determined by senior officers of such
            entity),
o     The Fund's certified public accountants and auditors,
o     Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o     A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o     Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o     Portfolio pricing services retained by the Investment Advisor to provide portfolio
            security prices, and
o     Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations, because securities are not priced by the
            Fund's regular pricing services).

      Portfolio holdings information of a Fund may be provided, under limited
      circumstances, to brokers and dealers or with whom the Fund trades and/or entities
      that provide investment coverage and/or analytical information regarding the Fund's
      portfolio, provided that there is a legitimate investment reason for providing the
      information to the broker or dealer or other entity.  Month-end portfolio holdings
      information may, under this procedure, be provided to vendors providing research
      information and/or analytics to the fund, with at least a 15-day delay after the
      month end, but in certain cases may be provided to a broker or analytical vendor with
      a 1-2 day lag to facilitate the provision of requested investment information to the
      manager to facilitate a particular trade or the portfolio manager's investment
      process for the Fund.  Any third party receiving such information must first sign the
      Investment Advisor's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition
      to receiving this information.

      Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on individual
      securities positions or multiple securities) may be provided to the entities listed
      below (1) by portfolio traders employed by the Investment Advisor in connection with
      portfolio trading, and (2) by the members of the Investment Advisor's Security
      Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in connection with portfolio pricing or
      other portfolio evaluation purposes:

o     Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions (purchases and sales)
o     Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if securities held by a
            Fund are not priced by the fund's regular pricing services)
o     Dealers to obtain price quotations where the fund is not identified as the owner

      Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on a Fund's entire
      portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior officers of the
      Investment Advisor or attorneys on the legal staff of the Investment Advisor,
      Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following circumstances:

o     Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to subpoenas or in
            class action matters where the Fund may be part of the plaintiff class (and
            seeks recovery for losses on a security) or a defendant,
o     Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, NASD, state securities
            regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including without limitation
            requests for information in inspections or for position reporting purposes),
o     To potential sub-advisors of portfolios (but only pursuant to confidentiality
            agreements),
o     To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence
            meetings (if entire portfolio holdings are provided, however, it shall be done
            only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement),
o     Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (but only pursuant to
            confidentiality agreements)

      Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Investment Advisor's policies on
      communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio information in
      interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or similar meetings with
      clients or prospective purchasers of Fund shares or their financial intermediary
      representatives.

      The Fund's shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity
      in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions), receive redemption proceeds of their
      Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities held in the Fund's portfolio.  In
      such circumstances, disclosure of the Fund's portfolio holdings may be made to such
      shareholders.

      The Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund and the Investment Advisor, Distributor, and
      Transfer Agent (the "CCO") shall oversee the compliance by the Investment Advisor,
      Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with these policies and procedures.
      At least annually, the CCO shall report to the Fund Board on such compliance
      oversight and on the categories of entities and individuals to which disclosure of
      portfolio holdings of the Funds has been made during the preceding year pursuant to
      these policies. The CCO shall report to the Fund Board any material violation of
      these policies and procedures during the previous calendar quarter and shall make
      recommendations to the Companies and to the Boards as to any amendments that the CCO
      believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these policies and
      procedures.

      The Investment Advisor and/or the Fund have entered into ongoing arrangements to make
      available information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.  One or more of the
      Oppenheimer funds may currently disclose portfolio holdings information based on
      ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

How the Fund is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The  Fund is an  open-end,  diversified  management  investment
company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial  interest.  The Fund was
organized as a Massachusetts business trust in June 1997.

      Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder approval, to
create new series and classes of shares.  The Trustees may reclassify unissued shares of
the Fund into additional series or classes of shares.  The Trustees also may divide or
combine the shares of a class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing
the proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund.  Shares do not have
cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights.  Shares may be voted in
person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

      The Fund currently has five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and
Class Y.  All classes invest in the same investment portfolio.  Only retirement plans may
purchase Class N shares. Only certain institutional investors may elect to purchase Class Y
shares.  Each class of shares:
o     has its own dividends and distributions,
o     pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o     may have a different net asset value,
o     may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are
         different from interests of another class, and
o     votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

      Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one vote at
shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on matters submitted to
the vote of shareholders.  Each share of the Fund represents an interest in the Fund
proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class.

      Meetings of Shareholders.  As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is not
required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings of shareholders, but
may do so from time to time on important matters or when required to do so by the
Investment Company Act or other applicable law. Shareholders have the right, upon a vote
of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee, or to take other
action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.

      The Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee
upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding shares.  If the
Trustees receive a request from at least 10 shareholders stating that they wish to
communicate with other shareholders to request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees
will then either make the Fund's shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their
communication to all other shareholders at the applicants' expense. The shareholders making
the request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares of the
Fund valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of the Fund's outstanding
shares. The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

      Shareholder and Trustee Liability.  The Fund's Declaration of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund's obligations. It also
provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Fund's property for
any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations.  The Declaration of Trust also
states that upon request, the Fund shall assume the defense of any claim made against a
shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and shall satisfy any judgment on that
claim.  Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund) to
be held personally liable as a "partner" under certain circumstances. However, the risk
that a Fund shareholder will incur financial loss from being held liable as a "partner" of
the Fund is limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be
unable to meet its obligations.

      The Fund's contractual arrangements state that any person doing business with the
Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its Declaration of Trust to look
solely to the assets of the Fund for satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out
of any dealings with the Fund. Additionally, the Trustees shall have no personal liability
to any such person, to the extent permitted by law.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees,
which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders under Massachusetts law.
The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review
its performance, and review the actions of the Manager.

      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight Committee, A
Governance Committee, and a Proxy committee.  The Audit Committee is comprised solely of
Independent Trustees.  The members of the Audit Committee are Paul Y. Clinton (Chairman),
Thomas W. Courtney, Robert B. Galli, Lacy B. Herrmann and Brian Wruble.  The Audit
Committee held 5 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.  The Audit
Committee provides the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's
independent auditor.  The Audit Committee also reviews the scope and results of audits and
the audit fees charged, reviews reports from the Fund's independent auditor concerning the
Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls, and reviews reports of the Manager's
internal auditor among other duties as set forth in the Committee's charter.

      The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to the full Board,
nominees for election as Directors and selecting and nominating Independent Trustees for
election.  The Audit Committee may, but need not, consider the advice and recommendation of
the Manager and its affiliates in selecting nominees.  The full Board elects new Trustees
except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

      To date, the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample
number of qualified candidates.  Nonetheless, shareholders may submit names of individuals,
accompanies by complete and properly supported resumes, for the Audit Committee's
consideration by mailing such information to the Committee in care of the Fund.  The
Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible
nominees.  The Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets for the purpose of considering
potential nominees.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Each of the Trustees is an "Independent Trustee" under
the Investment Company Act. The Fund's Trustees and officers and their positions held with
the Fund and length of service in such position(s) and their principal occupations and
business affiliations during the past five years are listed in the chart below. The
information for the Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well
as the aggregate dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer funds
overseen by the Trustees. All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the
following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board III Funds"):

Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds, a
  series fund having the following three
  series:
  Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund,        Oppenheimer Quest  International Value
                                           Fund, Inc.
  Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Fund and      Oppenheimer  Quest Capital Value Fund,
                                           Inc.
  Oppenheimer Quest Opportunity Value Fund Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.
Rochester Portfolio Series, a series fund  Bond Fund Series, a series fund
  having one series: Limited-Term New        having one series: Oppenheimer
  York Municipal Fund                        Convertible Securities Fund
Rochester Fund Municipals                  Oppenheimer MidCap Fund


      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr. Galli is also
a director or trustee of 24 other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or
former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their immediate family members) of
the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for
their employees are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other
Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A
shares is waived for that group because of the economies of sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.
      Messrs. O'Hare, Murphy, Vottiero, Wixted, Peteresen, Miao,Gillispie, Vandehey,  and
Zack and Mses. Bloomberg and Ives who are officers of the Fund, respectively hold the same
offices of one or more of the other Board III Funds as with the Fund. As of  March 20,
2005, the Trustees and Officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of record or beneficially
less than 1% of each class of shares of the Fund.  The foregoing statement does not reflect
ownership of shares of the Fund held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of
the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the
Fund listed above. In addition, each Independent Trustee (and their immediate family
members) do not own securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the Board III Funds
or any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Manager or Distributor.


      The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way, Centennial, CO
80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until his or her resignation,
retirement, death or removal.

      |X|  Retirement  Plan for  Trustees.  The Fund has  adopted  a  retirement  plan that  provides
payments to retired Trustees.  Payments are up to 80% of the average  compensation paid during a Trusty
five years of service in which the highest  compensation  was  received.  A Trustee  must serve as Tru
for any of the  Board  III  Funds  listed  above  for at least 15 years  to be  eligible  for the  max
payment.  Each  Trustee's  retirement  benefits  will  depend  on  the  amount  of  the  Trustee's  fu
compensation and length of service.


      ?  Deferred  Compensation  Plan  for  Trustees.  The  Board  of  Trustees  has  adopted  a  Defe fo
Compensation  Plan for  disinterested  Trustees  that enables  them to elect to defer  receipt of all ee'
portion of the annual fees they are entitled to receive from the Fund.  Under the plan,  the  compensaste
deferred by a Trustee is periodically  adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been invested in shimu
of one or more  Oppenheimer  funds selected by the Trustee.  The amount paid to the Trustee under the tur
will be determined based upon the performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral of Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect the Fund's assets,  liabilirre
and net income per share.  The plan will not  obligate  the Fund to retain the  services of any Trusteor
to pay any particular  level of compensation  to any Trustee.  Pursuant to an Order issued by the SEC,tio
Fund may invest in the funds selected by the Trustee under the plan without  shareholder  approval forare
limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustee's deferred fee account.                       pla

|X|   Portfolio Proxy Voting.  The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures und
which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund. The Fund'sde
primary consideration in voting portfolio proxies is the financial interests of the Fund and its      at A
shareholders. The Fund has retained an unaffiliated third-party as its agent to vote portfolio proxies   n
accordance with the Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
proxy voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include provisions to address conflicts of interest that may
arise between the Fund and OFI where an OFI directly-controlled affiliate manages or administers the     5
assets of a pension plan of a company soliciting the proxy. The Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting Guideliner g
on routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below.

o     The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on routine matters, including  ind
            election of directors nominated by management and ratification of auditors, unless circums     s
            indicate otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports elimination of anti-takeover
            proposals, absent unusual circumstances.                                                  es
o     The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote requirement, and opposes
            management proposals to add a super-majority vote requirement.
o     The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o     The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.                                     tan
o     The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o     The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as stock option plans and bon
            plans to be ordinary business activity. The Fund analyzes stock option plans, paying parti
            attention to their dilutive effect. While the Fund generally supports management proposals
            Fund opposes plans it considers to be excessive.

      The Fund is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months
ending June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i)
without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the SEC's   us

      The Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Manager provides investment advisory and management
services to the Fund under an investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Mana
selects securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to-day business. The portfolio manager
the Fund is employed by the Manager and is the person who is principally responsible for the day-to-da
management of the Fund's portfolio. Other members of the Manager's Equity Portfolio Department provide
the portfolio manager with counsel and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

      The agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with adequate office spa
facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all ger
administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the Fund. Those of
responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to its operations, thy
preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration
statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.

      The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement. The   ce,
advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to interes
taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to certain Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian and transf   ce
agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs and non-recurring expense
including litigation costs. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager are calculated at the
rates described in the Prospectus, which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole. The fees ar
allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the Fund's net assets represen
by that class. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager during its last three fiscal years
were:                                                                                                 t,

      The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable
for any loss the Fund sustains for any investment, adoption of any investment policy, or
the purchase, sale or retention of any security.

      The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment advisor for any other person,
firm or corporation and to use the name "Oppenheimer" in connection with other investment
companies for which it may act as investment advisor or general distributor. If the Manager
shall no longer act as investment advisor to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right
of the Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.


         |X|      Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement. Each year, the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, is required to approve the
renewal of the investment advisory agreement. The Investment Company Act requires that the
Board request and evaluate and the Manager provide such information as may be reasonably
necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement. The Board employs an
independent consultant to prepare a report that provides such information as the Board
requests for this purpose.

      The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees the Fund pays.
These distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a different time of the year.

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its decision to renew the
investment advisory agreement. Among other factors, the Board considered:
o     The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and its
         shareholders;
o     The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;
o     The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market indices;
o     Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager;
o     Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o     The value and quality of any other benefits or services received by the Fund from its
         relationship with the Manager, and
o     The direct and indirect benefits the Manager received from its relationship with the
         Fund. These included services provided by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent,
         and brokerage and soft dollar arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the
         Securities Exchange Act.

      The Board considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain high quality
personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Fund. The Board also considered
that maintaining the financial viability of the Manager is important so that the Manager
will be able to continue to provide quality services to the Fund and its shareholders in
adverse times. The Board also considered the investment performance of other mutual funds
advised by the Manager. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the use of the
Manager.

      These matters were also considered by the Independent Trustees, meeting separately
from the full Board with experienced Counsel to the Fund who assisted the Board in its
deliberations. The Fund's Counsel is independent of the Manager within the meaning and
intent of the SEC Rules regarding the independence of counsel.

      After careful deliberation, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded
that it was in the best interest of shareholders to continue the investment advisory
agreement for another year. In arriving at a decision, the Board did not single out any one
factor or group of factors as being more important than other factors, but considered all
factors together. The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment advisory
agreement, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of the surrounding
circumstances.


Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Manager
under the investment advisory agreement is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the
Fund. The advisory agreement contains provisions relating to the employment of
broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions. The Manager is authorized by
the advisory agreement to employ broker-dealers, including "affiliated" brokers, as that
term is defined in the Investment Company Act. The Manager may employ broker-dealers that
the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the
policy of the Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" of the Fund's
portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means prompt and reliable execution at the most
favorable price obtainable. The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding.
However, it is expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible brokers and to
minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of
the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

    Under the investment advisory agreement, in choosing brokers to execute portfolio
transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other than affiliates) that
provide brokerage and/or research services to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which
the Manager or its affiliates have investment discretion.  The commissions paid to those
brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a
good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the
services provided.

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits any fund from compensating a broker
or dealer for promoting or selling the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or
dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to
that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees from the
fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker or dealer (these latter
arrangements are considered to be a type of "step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund
and its investment advisor cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding
broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares.

However, the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also
sell fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo
with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has
adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of Trustees has approved those procedures) that
permit the Fund to direct portfolio securities transactions to brokers or dealers that also
promote or sell shares of the Fund, subject to the "best execution" considerations
discussed above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's personnel who
effect the Fund's portfolio transactions from taking into account a broker's or dealer's
promotion or sales of the Fund shares when allocating the Fund's portfolio transactions,
and (2) the Fund, the Manager and the Distributor from entering into agreements or
understandings under which the Manager directs or is expected to direct the Fund's
brokerage directly, or through a "step-out" arrangement, to any broker or dealer in
consideration of that broker's or dealer's promotion or sale of the Fund's shares or the
shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage for the Fund
subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement and the procedures and rules
described above. Generally, the Manager's portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon
recommendations from the Manager's portfolio managers. In certain instances, portfolio
managers may directly place trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the Manager's
executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

      Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary
market are generally done with principals or market makers. In transactions on foreign
exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay fixed brokerage commissions and therefore would
not have the benefit of negotiated commissions available in U.S. markets. Brokerage
commissions are paid primarily for transactions in listed securities or for certain
fixed-income agency transactions in the secondary market. Otherwise, brokerage commissions
are paid only if it appears likely that a better price or execution can be obtained by
doing so. In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for the
purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to which the option
relates.

      Other funds advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of the
Fund. Those other funds may purchase or sell the same securities as the Fund at the same
time as the Fund, which could affect the supply and price of the securities. If two or more
funds advised by the Manager purchase the same security on the same day from the same
dealer, the transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated
in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

      In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for the purchase
or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to which the option relates.
When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same
security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates. The
transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in
accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

      The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate brokerage for
research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful only
to one or more of the advisory accounts of the Manager and its affiliates. The investment
research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both to the
Fund and one or more of the Manager's other accounts. Investment research may be supplied
to the Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are
placed.

      Investment research services include information and analysis on particular companies
and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio strategy, market
quotations for portfolio evaluations, information systems, computer hardware and similar
products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in a non-research
capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage
or component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making
process may be paid in commission dollars.

      The Board of Trustees permits the Manager to use stated commissions on secondary
fixed-income agency trades to obtain research if the broker represents to the Manager that:
(i) the trade is not from or for the broker's own inventory, (ii) the trade was executed by
the broker on an agency basis at the stated commission, and (iii) the trade is not a
riskless principal transaction. The Board of Trustees permits the Manager to use
commissions on fixed-price offerings to obtain research, in the same manner as is permitted
for agency transactions.

      The  research  services  provided  by brokers  broaden the scope and  supplements  the
research activities of the Manager.  That research provides additional views and comparisons
for  consideration,  and helps the Manager to obtain market information for the valuation of
securities  that are  either  held in the  Fund's  portfolio  or are  being  considered  for
purchase.  The  Manager  provides  information  to the Board about the  commissions  paid to
brokers  furnishing  such  services,  together  with the Manager's  representation  that the
amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the Distributor
acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's
classes of shares. The Distributor bears the expenses normally attributable to sales,
including advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those

number of shares.

      The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the Distributor from the
sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales charges retained by the Distributor on the
redemption of shares during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years are shown in the

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of
the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pays the Distributor for all or a
portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the
shares of the particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

      Under the Plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates.  In
their sole discretion, they may also from time to time make substantial payments from their
own resources, which include the profits the Manager derives from the advisory fees it
receives from the Fund, to compensate brokers, dealers, financial institutions and other
intermediaries for providing distribution assistance and/or administrative services or that
otherwise promote sales of the Fund's shares.  These payments, some of which may be
referred to as "revenue sharing," may relate to the Fund's inclusion on a financial
intermediary's preferred list of funds offered to its clients.

      Financial intermediaries, brokers and dealers may receive other payments from the
Distributor or the Manager from their own resources in connection with the promotion and/or
sale of shares of the Fund, including payments to defray expenses incurred in connection
with educational seminars and meetings.  The Manager or Distributor may share expenses
incurred by financial intermediaries in conducting training and educational meetings about
aspects of the Fund for employees of the intermediaries or for hosting client seminars or
meetings at which the Fund is discussed.  In their sole discretion, the Manager and/or the
Distributor may increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their own
resources for these purposes.

      Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in effect from
year to year but only if the Fund's Board of Trustees and its Independent Trustees
specifically vote annually to approve its continuance. Approval must be by a vote cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be
terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote
of the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the
outstanding shares of that class.

      The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all material
amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of payments to be made
under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the class affected by the amendment.
Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months
after purchase, the Fund must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders
for a proposed material amendment to the Class A the plan that would materially increase
payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the shares of each class,
voting separately by class.

      While the plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide separate
written reports on the plans to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly for its review.
The reports shall detail the amount of all payments made under a plan and the purpose for
which the payments were made. Those reports are subject to the review and approval of the
Independent Trustees.

      Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and nomination of those
Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund is committed to the
discretion of the Independent Trustees. This does not prevent the involvement of others in
the selection and nomination process as long as the final decision as to selection or
nomination is approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

      Under the plans for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient in any quarter
in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of that class held by the
recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount, if any, that may
be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees
has set no minimum amount of assets to qualify for payments under the plans.

|X|   Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor currently
uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial
institutions (they are referred to as "recipients") for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. The services
include, among others, answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in
establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's investment plans
available and providing other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The
Class A service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of
average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Board has set the rate at that level.
Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for
which the Distributor has been listed the broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits
the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under
the plan, the Board has not yet done so, except in the case of the special arrangement
described below, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor makes
payments to recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average
annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients or
their customers.

      With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares prior to March 1, 2001
("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor currently intends to pay the service
fee to recipients in advance for the first year after the shares are purchased. During the
first year the shares are sold, the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself
for the costs of distributing the shares. After the first year shares are outstanding, the
Distributor makes service fee payments to recipients quarterly on those shares. The advance
payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not
qualify for the advance service fee payment. If Class A shares purchased by grandfathered
retirement accounts are redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the recipient
of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata
portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

      For the fiscal year ended  October 31, 2004  payments  under the Class A plan  totaled
$1,111,508  of  which  $38,025  was  retained  by  the  Distributor  under  the  arrangement
described above, regarding  grandfathered  retirement accounts, and included $90,787 paid to
an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. Any unreimbursed  expenses the Distributor
incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be  recovered in  subsequent
years.  The Distributor  may not use payments  received under the Class A plan to pay any of
its interest  expenses,  carrying  charges,  or other  financial  costs,  or  allocation  of
overhead.


|X|      Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under each plan,
distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of shares
in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular business day during the
period. Each plan provides for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether
the Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund
under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of services that
recipients provide are similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan,
described above.

      Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales charges and
the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a quarterly basis, without payment
in advance. However, the Distributor currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients
in advance for the first year after Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased.
After the first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their
purchase, the Distributor makes service fee payments quarterly on those shares. The advance
payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not
qualify for the advance service fee payment. If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are
redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on
those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance
payment of the service fee made on those shares. Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not
be purchased by an investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating
another broker-dealer of record.  If the investor no longer has another broker-dealer of
record for an existing account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the
broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares.  In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge
paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.  The Distributor does not receive or retain
the service fee on Class B, Class C or Class N shares in accounts for which it is listed as
the broker-dealer of record.

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C expenses
by 1.00% and the asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class N expenses by
0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective classes.

      The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class N shares.
The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the first
year the shares are outstanding. It pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing
concession to the recipient on Class C shares outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer
has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor will pay the Class B, Class C
or Class N service fee and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer quarterly in lieu of
paying the sales concession and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

      The asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow investors
to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate
dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the asset-based sales charge to the
Distributor for its services rendered in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares.
The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
o     pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays
         service fees as described above,
o     may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the service fee
         payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide such financing from its own
         resources or from the resources of an affiliate,
o     employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares,
o     bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those
         furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue sky" registration fees and
         certain other distribution expenses,
o     may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B, Class C and Class
         N shares without receiving payment under the plans and therefore may not be able
         to offer such Classes for sale absent the plans,
o     receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and asset-based
         sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,
o     may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various third-party
         distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund shares,
o     may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if payments under the
         plan are discontinued because most competitor funds have plans that pay dealers
         for rendering distribution services as much or more than the amounts currently
         being paid by the Fund, and
o     may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost, the same
         quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to obtain such services from
         brokers and dealers, if the plan payments were to be discontinued.

            The  Distributor's  actual  expenses  in  selling  Class B,  Class C and Class N
shares may be more than the payments it receives from the contingent  deferred sales charges
collected  on  redeemed  shares and from the Fund  under the  plans.  If either the Class B,
Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund,  the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund
to continue  payments of the asset-based  sales charge to the  Distributor for  distributing
shares before the plan was terminated.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to illustrate its
investment performance. Those terms include "cumulative total return," "average annual
total return," "average annual total return at net asset value" and "total return at net
asset value." An explanation of how total returns are calculated is set forth below. The
charts below show the Fund's performance as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end. You
can obtain current performance information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at
1.800.225.5677 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

      The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must comply with
rules of the SEC. Those rules describe the types of performance data that may be used and
how it is to be calculated. In general, any advertisement by the Fund of its performance
data must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of shares of
the Fund.

      Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to compare the
Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same periods. However, a
number of factors should be considered before using the Fund's performance information as a
basis for comparison with other investments:

o     Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the Fund over
         various periods and do not show the performance of each shareholder's account.
         Your account's performance will vary from the model performance data if your
         dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period, or
         you bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the
         model.
o     The Fund's performance returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and
         capital gains distributions.
o     An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
o     The principal value of the Fund's shares, and total returns are not guaranteed and
         normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.
o     When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their
         original cost.
o     Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information
         and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction of future returns.

      The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because the performance
of each class of shares will usually be different. That is because of the different kinds
of expenses each class bears. The total returns of each class of shares of the Fund are
affected by market conditions, the quality of the Fund's investments, the maturity of those
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating expenses that are
allocated to the particular class.

      |X|   Total Return Information. There are different types of "total returns" to
measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in value of a hypothetical
investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming that all dividends and capital gains
distributions are reinvested in additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at
the end of the period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the
total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total return measures
the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual
total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that would produce
the cumulative total return over the entire period. However, average annual total returns
do not show actual year-by-year performance. The Fund uses standardized calculations for
its total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

         In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge
of 5.75%(as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment
("P" in the formula below) (unless the return is shown without sales charge, as described
below). For Class B shares, payment of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is
applied, depending on the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year,
4.0% in the second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0%
in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred
sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N shares, the 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period, and total
returns for the periods prior to 03/01/01 (the inception date for Class N shares) are based
on the Fund's Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1 fees. There is
no sales charge on Class Y shares.

o     Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total return" of each class is an
average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years. It
is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of
$1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to
achieve an Ending Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the formula) of that investment, according to
the following formula:

ERV   l/n - 1  Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

o     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions). The "average annual total
return (after taxes on distributions)" of Class A shares is an average annual compounded
rate of return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of
federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in
effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during the specified
period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial
investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of years ("n" in the
formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVD" in the formula) of that investment, after
taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund distributions, but not on the redemption of
Fund shares, according to the following formula:

           - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
ATVD   l/n     Distributions)
---
  P

o     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions). The
"average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemptions)" of Class A
shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number
of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest
individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any
distributions made by the Fund during the specified period and the effect of capital gains
taxes or capital loss tax benefits (each calculated using the highest federal individual
capital gains tax rate in effect on the redemption date) resulting from the redemption of
the shares at the end of the period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number
of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVDR" in the formula) of that
investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund distributions and on the
redemption of Fund shares, according to the following formula:

ATVDR       - 1  = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions
---
l/n              and Redemptions)
  P

o     Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return" calculation measures the
change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an entire period of years. Its
calculation uses some of the same factors as average annual total return, but it does not
average the rate of return on an annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as
follows:

 ERV - P   = Total Return
-----------
    P
o     Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also quote a
cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset value" (without deducting sales
charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N shares. There is no sales charge on Class
Y shares. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and
the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in that class of shares (without
considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges) and takes into consideration
the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to that of an
appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to shareholders. You can obtain
that information by contacting the Transfer Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers
shown on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may also compare
its performance to that of other investments, including other mutual funds, or use rankings
of its performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of these performance
comparisons are set forth below.

      |X|   Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the
performance of its classes of shares by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). Lipper is a
widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors the
performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their
performance for various periods in categories based on investment styles. The Lipper
performance rankings are based on total returns that include the reinvestment of capital
gain distributions and income dividends but do not take sales charges or taxes into
consideration. Lipper also publishes "peer-group" indices of the performance of all mutual
funds in a category that it monitors and averages of the performance of the funds in
particular categories.

|X|   Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star rating of the
performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an independent mutual fund
monitoring service. Morningstar rates mutual funds in their specialized market sector. The
Fund is rated among Mid-Cap Growth Category.

      Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted total
investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates
a Morningstar Rating(TM)based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for
variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads,
and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent
performance.  The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive
4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10%
receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale
and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)
The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the
performance figures associated with its three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

      |X|   Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and Publications. From
time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature performance
information about the Fund cited in newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York
Times, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, or similar publications. That information may
include performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar. The
performance of the Fund's classes of shares may be compared in publications to the
performance
of various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance rankings or other
benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

      Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund's share classes to the
return on fixed-income investments available from banks and thrift institutions. Those
include certificates of deposit, ordinary interest-paying checking and savings accounts,
and other forms of fixed or variable time deposits, and various other instruments such as
Treasury bills. However, the Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured
by the FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository obligations
may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return. Repayment of principal
and payment of interest on Treasury securities is backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. government.

      From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the Manager or
Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to shareholders of the
Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the Oppenheimer funds themselves.
Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and investor services by third parties may include
comparisons of their services to those provided by other mutual fund families selected by
the rating or ranking services. They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or
ranking service itself, using its research or judgment, or based upon surveys of investors,
brokers, shareholders or others.

      From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature the
total return performance of a hypothetical investment account that includes shares of the
Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined account may be part of an illustration of an
asset allocation model or similar presentation. The account performance may combine total
return performance of the Fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds
included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's advertisements and
sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes, statistical data or
other information about general or specific market and economic conditions. That may
include, for example,
o     information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or
         segments of those markets,
o     information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or
         regions,
o     the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors,
         securities markets, countries or regions,
o     the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,
o     information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of the United
         States or other countries or regions,
o     comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk, or
         other characteristics of the Fund.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     How to Buy Shares
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to buy shares
of the Fund. Appendix B contains more information about the special sales charge
arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in which sales charges may be
reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.

When you purchase shares of the Fund, your ownership interest in the shares of the Fund
will be recorded as a book entry on the records of the Fund.  The Fund will not issue or
re-register physical share certificates.

AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must be at least
$50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an Asset Builder Plan (described
    ---
below) can be established on a new account. Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002
will remain at $25 for additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular
business day the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House ("ACH")
transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares purchased with the
proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund receives Federal Funds for the
purchase through the ACH system before the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier on certain
days. If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the close of the Exchange, the
shares will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular business
day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund three days after the
transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH transfer are not received on a timely
basis, the Distributor reserves the right to cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and
the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in
ACH transmissions.

Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge rate may be
obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation and Letters of Intent because of
the economies of sales efforts and reduction in expenses realized by the Distributor,
dealers and brokers making such sales. No sales charge is imposed in certain other
circumstances described in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information because
the Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other fiduciary account
(including one or more employee benefit plans of the same employer) that has multiple
accounts. The Distributor will add the value, at current offering price, of the shares you
previously purchased and currently own to the value of current purchases to determine the
sales charge rate that applies. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current
purchases. You must request it when you buy shares.
The Oppenheimer Funds.  The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which the
Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the following:

Oppenheimer AMT-Free Municipals           Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund

Municipal Fund                            Limited-Term New York Municipal Fund

And the following money market funds:

Oppenheimer Cash Reserves                 Centennial Government Trust
Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.       Centennial Money Market Trust
                                          Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust


      There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the
Oppenheimer funds described above except the money market funds. Under certain
circumstances described in this Statement of Additional Information, redemption proceeds of
certain money market fund shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

   Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), you can reduce the sales charge
   rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares if you purchase Class A, Class B
   or (effective March 18, 2005) Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds
   during a 13-month period. The total amount of your purchases of Class A, Class B and
   (effective March 18th) Class C shares will determine the sales charge rate that applies
   to your Class A share purchases during that period. You can choose to include purchases
   made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter. Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money
   Market Fund, Inc. and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves fund on which you did not pay a sales
   charge and any Class N shares you purchase, or may have purchased, will not be counted
   towards satisfying the purchases specified in a Letter.

         A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of his or her
   intention to purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B and (effective March 18th)
   Class C shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds during a 13-month period (the
   "Letter period"). At the investor's request, this may include purchases made up to 90
   days prior to the date of the Letter. The Letter states the investor's intention to make
   the aggregate amount of purchases of shares which, when added to the investor's holdings
   of shares of those funds, will equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter.
   Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions and purchases
   made at net asset value (i.e. without a sales charge) do not count toward satisfying the
   amount of the Letter.

         Each purchase of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the offering
   price (including the sales charge) that would apply to a single lump-sum purchase of
   shares in the amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.


      In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares. However,
if the investor's purchases of shares within the Letter period, when added to the value (at
offering price) of the investor's holdings of shares on the last day of that period, do not
equal or exceed the intended purchase amount, the investor agrees to pay the additional
amount of sales charge applicable to such purchases. That amount is described in "Terms of
Escrow," below (those terms may be amended by the Distributor from time to time). The
investor agrees that shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be
held in escrow by the Transfer Agent subject to the Terms of Escrow. Also, the investor
agrees to be bound by the terms of the Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information
and the application used for a Letter. If those terms are amended, as they may be from time
to time by the Fund, the investor agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that those
amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter period do not equal or exceed
the intended purchase amount, the concessions previously paid to the dealer of record for
the account and the amount of sales charge retained by the Distributor will be adjusted to
the rates applicable to actual total purchases. If total eligible purchases during the
Letter period exceed the intended purchase amount and exceed the amount needed to qualify
for the next sales charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the sales charges
paid will be adjusted to the lower rate. That adjustment will be made only if and when the
dealer returns to the Distributor the excess of the amount of concessions allowed or paid
to the dealer over the amount of concessions that apply to the actual amount of purchases.
The excess concessions returned to the Distributor will be used to purchase additional
shares for the investor's account at the net asset value per share in effect on the date of
such purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof.

      The Transfer  Agent will not hold shares in escrow for purchases of shares of the Fund
and other  Oppenheimer funds by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plans under a Letter. If
the intended  purchase amount under a Letter entered into by an  OppenheimerFunds  prototype
401(k) plan is not purchased by the plan by the end of the Letter  period,  there will be no
adjustment of concessions paid to the  broker-dealer or financial  institution of record for
accounts held in the name of that plan.

      In determining the total amount of purchases made under a Letter, shares redeemed by
the investor prior to the termination of the Letter period will be deducted. It is the
responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the investor to advise the Distributor about
the Letter when placing any purchase orders for the investor during the Letter period. All
of such purchases must be made through the Distributor.

      |X|   Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

      1. Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary) made pursuant
to a Letter, shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the intended purchase amount
specified in the Letter shall be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent. For example, if the
intended purchase amount is $50,000, the escrow shall be shares valued in the amount of
$2,500 (computed at the offering price adjusted for a $50,000 purchase). Any dividends and
capital gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's
account.

      2. If the total minimum investment specified under the Letter is completed within the
13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor.

      3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter period the total purchases pursuant to the
Letter are less than the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter, the investor
must remit to the Distributor an amount equal to the difference between the dollar amount
of sales charges actually paid and the amount of sales charges which would have been paid
if the total amount purchased had been made at a single time. That sales charge adjustment
will apply to any shares redeemed prior to the completion of the Letter. If the difference
in sales charges is not paid within twenty days after a request from the Distributor or the
dealer, the Distributor will, within sixty days of the expiration of the Letter, redeem the
number of escrowed shares necessary to realize such difference in sales charges. Full and
fractional shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow. If a
request is received to redeem escrowed shares prior to the payment of such additional sales
charge, the sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds.

      4. By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares.

5.    The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of which may be
counted toward completion of a Letter) include:
(a)   Class A shares sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class A contingent
            deferred sales charge,
(b)   Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a contingent deferred
            sales charge, and
(c)   Class A or Class B shares acquired by exchange of either (1) Class A shares of one of
            the other Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a Class A initial or
            contingent deferred sales charge or (2) Class B shares of one of the other
            Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales
            charge.

      6. Shares held in escrow hereunder will automatically be exchanged for shares of
another fund to which an exchange is requested, as described in the section of the
Prospectus entitled "How to Exchange Shares" and the escrow will be transferred to that
other fund.

Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially establish your
account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset Builder Plan to automatically
purchase additional shares directly from a bank account for as little as $50. For those
accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset
Builder Plans, additional purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder
Plan payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent
purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are available only if your bank
is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds
employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts. Asset Builder Plans also enable
shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use their fund account to make monthly
automatic purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.
      If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the Fund, your bank
account will be debited automatically. Normally the debit will be made two business days
prior to the investment dates you selected on your application. Neither the Distributor,
the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares
that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

      Before you establish Asset Builder payments, you should obtain a prospectus of the
selected fund(s) from your financial advisor (or the Distributor) and request an
application from the Distributor. Complete the application and return it. You may change
the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate these automatic investments
at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable
period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement them. The
Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder plans at
any time without prior notice.

Retirement Plans.  Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase shares of the
Fund without sales charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as described in Appendix B to
this Statement of Additional Information.  Certain special sales charge arrangements
described in  Appendix B apply to retirement plans whose records are maintained on a daily
valuation basis by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") or an
independent record keeper that has a contract or special arrangement with Merrill Lynch.
If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement
the plan has less than $1 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than
assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C
shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch
record keeping service agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less than $5
million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money
market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer
funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service
agreement the plan has $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments
(other than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase
only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.

      OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements with certain record keepers whereby
the Transfer Agent compensates the record keeper for its record keeping and account
servicing functions that it performs on behalf of the participant level accounts of a
retirement plan. While such compensation may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged
by the retirement plan's record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated at
any time, potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan's
record keeper.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Cancellation of purchase orders for the Fund's shares (for
example, when a purchase check is returned to the Fund unpaid) causes a loss to be incurred
when the net asset values of the Fund's shares on the cancellation date is less than on the
purchase date. That loss is equal to the amount of the decline in the net asset value per
share multiplied by the number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is responsible
for that loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss, the Distributor
will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor for that amount by redeeming shares from
any account registered in that investor's name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek
other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same
portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has different shareholder
privileges and features. The net income attributable to Class B, Class C or Class N shares
and the dividends payable on Class B, Class C or Class N shares will be reduced by
incremental expenses borne solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based
sales charges to which Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject.

      The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to choose the
method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the investor. That may depend on
the amount of the purchase, the length of time the investor expects to hold shares, and
other relevant circumstances. Class A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales
charge. While Class B, Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose
of the deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N
shares is the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to compensate
the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions that sell shares of the
Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive compensation from his or her firm for
selling Fund shares may receive different levels of compensation for selling one class of
shares rather than another.

      The Distributor will not accept purchase order of $100,000 or more for Class B shares
or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase Class C shares on behalf of a single
investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts).

      Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For purchases of Class
A shares at net asset value whether or not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as
described in the Prospectus, no sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of
record, as described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class A shares purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a
retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options under a
special arrangement with the Distributor, if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after
the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan. Additionally, that
concession will not be paid on purchases of Class A shares by a retirement plan made with
the redemption proceeds of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan
for more than 18 months.

      |X|   Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income
tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares
72 months after purchase is not treated as a taxable event for the shareholder. If those
laws or the IRS interpretation of those laws should change, the automatic conversion
feature may be suspended. In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would
occur while that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be
exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the two classes,
without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange could constitute a taxable
event for the shareholder, and absent such exchange, Class B shares might continue to be
subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the types of
retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in the prospectus, Class N
shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans, Profit-Sharing Plans
            and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o     to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender
            retirement plans,

o     to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o     to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional
            Information) which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor
            for that purpose,
o     to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue

o     to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans
            invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,
o     to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with
            the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and
o     to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in
            a special agreement between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the
            Distributor for that purpose.

      The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the
Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:
o     purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that
               pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one
               or more Oppenheimer funds (other than rollovers from an
               OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA
               invested in the Oppenheimer funds),
o     purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that
               pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of  Class C shares of one
               or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year (other
               than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender
               401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
o     purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender
               401(k) plan made with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or
               more Oppenheimer funds.

      No sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, as described in the
Prospectus, on sales of Class N shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of
another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which
Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options under a special arrangement with
the Distributor, if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are
added as an investment option under that plan.

      |X|   Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations,
such as custodian fees, Trustees' fees, transfer agency fees, legal fees and auditing
costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund's assets and are  not paid directly by
shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore
are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment.

      The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and distributions of
the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses. General expenses that do not
pertain specifically to any one class are allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes.
The allocation is based on the percentage of the Fund's total assets that is represented by
the assets of each class, and then equally to each outstanding share within a given class.
Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, printing
and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information and other materials for current shareholders, fees to unaffiliated Trustees,
custodian expenses, share issuance costs, organization and start-up costs, interest, taxes
and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

      Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are allocated
equally to each outstanding share within that class. Examples of such expenses include
distribution and  service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees
and expenses, and shareholder meeting expenses (to the extent that such expenses pertain
only to a specific class).

Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is
assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500. The Minimum Balance
Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account on or about the second to last
business day of September.

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its discretion, not
to assess the Fund Account Fees.  These exceptions are subject to change:
o     A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic conversion of
            shares from Class B to Class A shares. However, once all Class B shares held in
            the account have been converted to Class A shares the new account balance may
            become subject to the Minimum Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents electronically
            via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance below $500 and is
            being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC Fund/SERV
            system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding certain Oppenheimer
            Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender, Custom Plus,
            Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market fluctuations
            within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is deducted.

                         ------------------------

      The Fund reserves the authority to modify Fund Account Fees in its discretion.

Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share of each class
of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of business of the Exchange on each
day that the Exchange is open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's
net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may close earlier
on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a
U.S. holiday). All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information mean
"Eastern time." The Exchange's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change)
states that it will close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
It may also close on other days.

      Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain securities on days
on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a
regular business day. Because the Fund's net asset values will not be calculated on those
days, the Fund's net asset values per share may be significantly affected on such days when
shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares.  Additionally, trading on European and
Asian stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close
of the Exchange.

      Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or markets as a
result of events that occur after the prices of those securities are determined, but before
the close of the Exchange, will not be reflected in the Fund's calculation of its net asset
values that day unless the Manager determines that the event is likely to effect a material
change in the value of the security. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee
established by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures
established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and confirmation by the
Board at its next ensuing meeting

      ?  Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures for
the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:
o     Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)are valued as
follows:
(1)   if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the last reported
               sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq(R),
               as applicable, on that day, or
(2)   if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they are valued at the
               last reported sale price preceding the valuation date if it is within the
               spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the valuation date or, if
               not,  at the closing "bid" price on the valuation date.
o     Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are valued in one
of the following ways:
(1)   at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the Board of
               Trustees, or
(2)   at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of the principal
               exchange on which the security is traded at its last trading session on or
               immediately before the valuation date, or
(3)   at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from the principal exchange
               on which the security is traded or, on the basis of reasonable inquiry, from
               two market makers in the security.
o     Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days are valued
based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices determined by a portfolio pricing
service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active
market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.
o     The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices
determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees or obtained by the
Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)   debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
(2)   debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a
               remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)   non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued
               and which have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less.
o     The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts:
(1)   money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a maturity of
               less than 397 days when issued that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or
               less, and
(2)   debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397
               days or less.
o     Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market
quotations are valued at fair value determined under the Board's procedures. If the Manager
is unable to locate two market makers willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at
the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker
(which in certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

      In the case of U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate
bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information is not generally
available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. The
pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to the prices for comparable instruments on
the basis of quality, yield and maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as
the tax-exempt status of the interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will
monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include comparing prices
used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of selected securities.

      The closing prices in the New York foreign exchange market on a particular business
day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or pricing service that the Manager
has determined to be reliable are used to value foreign currency, including forward
contracts, and to convert to U.S. dollars securities that are denominated in foreign
currency.

      Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange
on which they are traded or on Nasdaq(R), as applicable, as determined by a pricing service
approved by the Board of Trustees or by the Manager. If there were no sales that day, they
shall be valued at the last sale price on the preceding trading day if it is within the
spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal
exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on
an exchange or on Nasdaq(R), it shall be valued by the mean between "bid" and "asked" prices
obtained by the Manager from two active market makers. In certain cases that may be at the
"bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

      When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is included
in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An equivalent credit is
included in the liability section. The credit is adjusted ("marked-to-market") to reflect
the current market value of the option. In determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a
call or put written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium
received. If a call or put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain in the amount
of the premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it will have a gain
or loss, depending on whether the premium received was more or less than the cost of the
closing transaction. If the Fund exercises a put it holds, the amount the Fund receives on
its sale of the underlying investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by the Fund.


How to Sell Shares
The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares set forth
in the Prospectus.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Federal Funds wire of redemption
proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open for business on a day when
the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be made, which is usually the Fund's next
regular business day following the redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be
transmitted until the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business. No
dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer by Federal
Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A shares on
         which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales charge when
         redeemed.

      The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A shares of the Fund
or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund are exchangeable as
described in "How to Exchange Shares" below. Reinvestment will be at the net asset value
next computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. The shareholder
must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege
does not apply to Class C, Class N or Class Y shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease
offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of
such amendment, suspension or cessation.

      Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is taxable, and
reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on that gain. If there has been a
capital loss on the redemption, some or all of the loss may not be tax deductible,
depending on the timing and amount of the reinvestment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if
the redemption proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in
shares of the Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the
sales charge, the shareholder's basis in the shares of the Fund that were redeemed may not
include the amount of the sales charge paid. That would reduce the loss or increase the
gain recognized from the redemption. However, in that case the sales charge would be added
to the basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind". The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered for redemption
is ordinarily made in cash. However, under certain circumstances, the Board of Trustees of
the Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining
shareholders of the Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In
that case, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution
"in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.

      The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act.
Under that rule, the Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of
$250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any 90-day period for any one
shareholder. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur
brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash. The Fund will value securities
used to pay redemptions in kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its portfolio
securities described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share." That
valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause the
involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate net asset value
of those shares is less than $200 or such lesser amount as the Board may fix. The Board
will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an account if the aggregate net
asset value of such shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market
fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any
notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may
alternatively set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other
terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares. A transfer of shares to a different registration is not an event that
triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are not subject to the payment of
a contingent deferred sales charge of any class at the time of transfer to the name of
another person or entity. It does not matter whether the transfer occurs by absolute
assignment, gift or bequest, as long as it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a
public sale of the shares. When shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are
transferred, the transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales
charge. It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder had acquired the transferred
shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring shareholder.

      If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some but not all
shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed at
the time of transfer, the priorities described in the Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares"
for the imposition of the Class B, Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charge
will be followed in determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans, 401(k)
plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to "Trustee, OppenheimerFunds
Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in
the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The
request must:
(1)   state the reason for the distribution;
(2)   state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and
(3)   conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption requirements.

      Participants (other than self-employed plan sponsors) in OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the Fund held in the name of the plan or its
fiduciary may not directly request redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or
fiduciary must sign the request.
      Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and certain documents (available from the
Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer Agent before the
distribution may be made. Distributions from retirement plans are subject to withholding
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P (available from the
Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution request, or
the distribution may be delayed. Unless the shareholder has provided the Transfer Agent
with a certified tax identification number, the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be
withheld from any distribution even if the shareholder elects not to have tax withheld. The
Fund, the Manager, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent assume no responsibility to
determine whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and will
not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The Distributor is
the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized dealers or brokers on behalf of
their customers. Shareholders should contact their broker or dealer to arrange this type of
redemption. The repurchase price per share will be the net asset value next computed after
the Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the close of the
Exchange on a regular business day, it will be processed at that day's net asset value if
the order was received by the dealer or broker from its customers prior to the time the
Exchange closes. Normally, the Exchange closes at 4:00 P.M., but may do so earlier on some
days. Additionally, the order must have been transmitted to and received by the Distributor
prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M.).

      Ordinarily, for accounts redeemed by a broker-dealer under this procedure, payment
will be made within three business days after the shares have been redeemed upon the
Distributor's receipt of the required redemption documents in proper form. The signature(s)
of the registered owners on the redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the
Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors owning shares of the Fund valued at
$5,000 or more can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares (having a value of at
least $50) automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an
Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Shares will be redeemed three business days prior to the date
requested by the shareholder for receipt of the payment. Automatic withdrawals of up to
$1,500 per month may be requested by telephone if payments are to be made by check payable
to all shareholders of record. Payments must also be sent to the address of record for the
account and the address must not have been changed within the prior 30 days. Required
minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged
on this basis.


      Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having AccountLink privileges
(see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments
transferred to the bank account designated on the account application or by
signature-guaranteed instructions sent to the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed
pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan three business days before the payment transmittal
date you select in the account application. If a contingent deferred sales charge applies
to the redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.
      The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested. The Fund
reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at any time
without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A share purchases,
shareholders should not make regular additional Class A share purchases while participating
in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders should not
establish automatic withdrawal plans, because of the potential imposition of the contingent
deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except where the Class B, Class C or Class N
contingent deferred sales charge is waived as described in Appendix B to this Statement of
Additional Information).
      By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the
terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below. These provisions may be
amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the Distributor. When adopted, any amendments
will automatically apply to existing Plans.

      |X|   Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to
exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of the same class) of
other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis
under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other
fund account is $50. Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject to the
restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to Exchange Shares" in the
Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional Information.

      Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans.  Fund  shares  will be  redeemed  as  necessary  to meet
withdrawal  payments.  Shares acquired without a sales charge will be redeemed first. Shares
acquired with reinvested  dividends and capital gains  distributions  will be redeemed next,
followed by shares acquired with a sales charge,  to the extent necessary to make withdrawal
payments.  Depending upon the amount  withdrawn,  the investor's  principal may be depleted.
Payments  made  under  these  plans  should not be  considered  as a yield or income on your
investment.

      The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal Plan as agent
for the shareholder(s) (the "Planholder") who executed the plan authorization and
application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall
incur any liability to the Planholder for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer
Agent in good faith to administer the plan. Share certificates will not be issued for
shares of the Fund purchased for and held under the plan, but the Transfer Agent will
credit all such shares to the account of the Planholder on the records of the Fund. Any
share certificates held by a Planholder may be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent
with the plan application so that the shares represented by the certificate may be held
under the plan.

      For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of capital gains
must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at net asset value without a
sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

      Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset value per share
determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink payments representing the proceeds
of Plan withdrawals will normally be transmitted three business days prior to the date
selected for receipt of the payment, according to the choice specified in writing by the
Planholder. Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.
      The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to which checks
are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be changed at any time by the
Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Planholder should allow at least two
weeks' time after mailing such notification for the requested change to be put in effect.
The Planholder may, at any time, instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem
all, or any part of, the shares held under the plan. That notice must be in proper form in
accordance with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund. In that case,
the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset value per
share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

      The Planholder may terminate a plan at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The
Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to terminate a plan. The Transfer Agent
will also terminate a plan upon its receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the
Planholder has died or is legally incapacitated. Upon termination of a plan by the Transfer
Agent or the Fund, shares that have not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated form
in the name of the Planholder. The account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment,
uncertificated account unless and until proper instructions are received from the
Planholder, his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

      If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the Planholder
will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in
administering the plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer funds having more
than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of other
Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds that have a single class without a class
designation are deemed "Class A" shares for this purpose. You can obtain a current list
showing which funds offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y shares with the
      following exceptions:

      The following funds only offer Class A shares:
   Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Money Market Trust
   Centennial Government Trust               Centennial New York Tax Exempt
                                             Trust
   Centennial Money Market Trust             Centennial Tax Exempt Trust


   The following funds do not offer Class N shares:
   Limited Term New York Municipal Fund      Oppenheimer New Jersey Municipal Fund
   Oppenheimer AMT-Free Municipals           Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main
                                             Street Fund II
   Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York             Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal

o     Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. only offers Class A and Class Y shares.
o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for shares of any
      other fund.

o     Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of
      any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares of any money market fund
      purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer funds

      contingent deferred sales charge.
o     Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from any of
      the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit investment trust for which reinvestment
      arrangements have been made with the Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value
      for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be exchanged at net
      asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds. However, shareholders are not

      period (12/6/2011).

      The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Although
the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide you with notice of those
changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. It may be required to provide
60 days' notice prior to materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60
day notice is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

      |X|   How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any class purchased subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge, with the following exceptions:

o     When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester National Municipals
and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18
months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the
exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the
redeemed shares.

o     When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals
acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class
A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 24 months of the beginning of the
calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for Class A
shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to the Class A contingent
deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the time of exchange, the holding
period for that Class A contingent deferred sales charge will carry over to the Class A
shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The Class A
shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in that exchange will be subject
to the Class A Early Withdrawal Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are
repurchased before the expiration of the holding period.

o     When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money Market Fund,
Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a
Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within the Class A holding period of
the fund from which the shares were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge
of the fund from which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares (other than funds listed in the next bulleted item
listed immediately below), the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class
B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial purchase
of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited Term
Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund,Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund,
and Cash Reserves that were initially purchased as shares of Oppenheimer Capital
Preservation Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B
shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 5 years of the initial purchase of
the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 12 months of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o     With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed
if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) is terminated or Class N
shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan and
Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N
shares of any Oppenheimer fund or with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b)
plan, Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N
shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

o     When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed to effect an exchange, the
priorities described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus for the imposition of the
Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in
determining the order in which the shares are exchanged. Before exchanging shares,
shareholders should take into account how the exchange may affect any contingent deferred
sales charge that might be imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

      Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which class of shares
they wish to exchange.

      |X|   Limits on Multiple Exchange Orders. The Fund reserves the right to reject
telephone or written exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than
one account

      |X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone, a shareholder
must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange is to be made. Otherwise,
the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund before the exchange request may be
submitted. If all telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during periods
of substantial market fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be  exchanged  are  redeemed on the regular
business  day  the  Transfer  Agent  receives  an  exchange  request  in  proper  form  (the
"Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares  of the fund to be  acquired  are  purchased  on the
Redemption  Date,  but such purchases may be delayed by either fund up to five business days
if it determines that it would be disadvantaged  by an immediate  transfer of the redemption
proceeds.The  Fund reserves the right,  in its  discretion,  to refuse any exchange  request
that may disadvantage it. For example,  if the receipt of multiple  exchange requests from a
dealer might require the  disposition  of portfolio  securities at a time or at a price that
might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the request.

      When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another, any special
account feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan, will be
switched to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer Agent not to do so.However,
special redemption and exchange features such as Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic
Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

      In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged may be less
than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested would include shares
subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional
Information, or would include shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered
with the request. In those cases, only the shares available for exchange without
restriction will be exchanged.

      The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different investment
objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the fund selected is
appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of the tax consequences of an
exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a
redemption of shares of one fund and a purchase of shares of another."Reinvestment
Privilege," above, discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption
proceeds in such cases.The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to
provide investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange
request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and there can be no
assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any capital gains. The
dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares will vary from time to time depending
on market conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the
Fund or borne separately by a class. Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the
same time, and on the same day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B,
Class C and Class N shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A and Class Y
shares. That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C
and Class N shares. Those dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any
difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

      Dividends, distributions and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares represented by
checks returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable will be
invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. Reinvestment will be made as
promptly as possible after the return of such checks to the Transfer Agent, to enable the
investor to earn a return on otherwise idle funds. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to
state escheatment laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to
shareholders or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares. The federal
tax treatment of the Fund's dividends and capital gains distributions is briefly
highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only a summary of certain additional tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders.

      The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information is
based on tax law in effect on the date of the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information. Those laws and regulations may be changed by legislative, judicial, or
administrative action, sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment of
ordinary income dividends and capital gain dividends from regulated investment companies
may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code described below. Potential
purchasers of shares of the Fund are urged to consult their tax advisers with specific
reference to their own tax circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state and
local tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to be taxed as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.As a regulated investment company, the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on
the portion of its net investment income (that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other
taxable ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the excess
of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it distributes to
shareholders. That qualification enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized
capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. This avoids a "double tax"
on that income and capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the
dividends and capital gains they receive from the Fund (unless their Fund shares are held
in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).

      The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to
qualification that the Fund might not meet in a particular year. If it did not qualify as a
regulated investment company, the Fund would be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary
corporation and would receive no tax deduction for payments made to shareholders.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute at least 90%
of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net investment income and the excess of
net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) for the taxable year. The Fund
must also satisfy certain other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which
are described below. Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year or, under
specified circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, will be
considered distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will therefore count
toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at least 90% of
its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities
loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign
currencies (to the extent such currency gains are directly related to the regulated
investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and certain
other income.

      In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund must satisfy an
asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated investment company. Under
that test, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the
value of the Fund's assets must consist of cash and cash items (including receivables),
U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and
securities of other issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Fund must not have invested
more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in securities of each such issuer and
the Fund must not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of each such
issuer. No more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in the securities
of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated
investment companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are
engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses. For purposes of this test, obligations
issued or guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are
treated as U.S. government securities.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue Code, by December
31 each year, the Fund must distribute 98% of its taxable investment income earned from
January 1 through December 31 of that year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the
period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current year. If it does
not, the Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. It is presently
anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements. To meet this requirement, in
certain circumstances the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio investments to make
sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax liability. However, the Board of Trustees and
the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be in the best interests of
shareholders for the Fund not to make such distributions at the required levels and to pay
the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of income or
capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its
investment company taxable income for each taxable year.Those distributions will be taxable
to shareholders as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income tax
purposes.

      Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the eligibility of the Fund's
dividends for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. Long-term
capital gains distributions are not eligible for the deduction.The amount of dividends paid
by the Fund that may qualify for the deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of
qualifying dividends that the Fund derives from portfolio investments that the Fund has
held for a minimum period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible
for the deduction on dividends paid on Fund shares held for 45 days or less. To the extent
the Fund's dividends are derived from gross income from option premiums, interest income or
short-term gains from the sale of securities or dividends from foreign corporations, those
dividends will not qualify for the deduction.

      The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for
each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such amounts.If net long
term capital gains are distributed and designated as a capital gain distribution, it will
be taxable to shareholders as a long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in
reports sent to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter
how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by
the Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

      If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be subject to tax on
it at the 35% corporate tax rate. If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the
Fund will provide to shareholders of record on the last day of its taxable year information
regarding their pro rata share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will
be required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return as
long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for his/her pro rata share of
tax paid by the Fund on the gain, and will increase the tax basis for his/her shares by an
amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

      Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within foreign
countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The United States has
entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which entitle the Fund to a reduced
rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.
      Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends or capital
gain distributions will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the
shareholder's tax basis in their shares. Any excess will be treated as gain from the sale
of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If
prior distributions made by the Fund must be re-characterized as a non-taxable return of
capital at the end of the fiscal year as a result of the effect of the Fund's investment
policies, they will be identified as such in notices sent to shareholders.

      Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above regardless of
whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund
(or of another fund). Shareholders receiving a distribution in the form of additional
shares will be treated as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market
value of the shares received, determined as of the reinvestment date.

      The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 28% of ordinary income
dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid
to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number
                                                   -------
or to properly certify that number when required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding
for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has
failed to certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or
is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted
by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in
reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares. If a shareholder redeems all or a portion of his/her
shares, the shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares in an amount
equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's
adjusted tax basis in the shares. All or a portion of any loss recognized in that manner
may be disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days
before or after the redemption.

      In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of the Fund will
be considered capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as a capital asset. It will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for more than one year. However, any
capital loss arising from the redemption of shares held for six months or less will be
treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends
received on those shares. Special holding period rules under the Internal Revenue Code
apply in this case to determine the holding period of shares and there are limits on the
deductibility of capital losses in any year.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a foreign person
(to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust, a foreign
estate, a foreign corporation, or a foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the
foreign person's income from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S.
trade or business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are not
considered "effectively connected" income.

      Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not "effectively
connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax withheld by the Fund at
a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of
Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence
has a tax treaty with the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends
paid by the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury
and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in
March of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

      If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively connected with the
                                                     ---
conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign person may claim an exemption from
the U.S. tax described above provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed
Certificate of Foreign Status. If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of
his/her foreign status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on
ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption
of shares, paid to any foreign person. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund
to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to
shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

      The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of an
applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders
are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with
respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund, including
the applicability of the U.S. withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to reinvest all
dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the same class of any of the
other Oppenheimer funds listed above. Reinvestment will be made without sales charge at the
net asset value per share in effect at the close of business on the payable date of the
dividend or distribution. To elect this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer
Agent in writing and must have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment.
Otherwise the shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application
from the Distributor to establish an account. Dividends and/or distributions from shares of
certain other Oppenheimer funds (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) may be invested in
shares of this Fund on the same basis.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Oppenheimer MidCap Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).

        The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date of purchase.

        The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITIES VALUATION. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price provided by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days and all mortgage-backed securities will be valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices. Securities may be valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Foreign and domestic securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term “money market type” debt securities with remaining

32 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND

maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using dealer supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

        Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

        The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts on a daily basis. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders, therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

The tax components of capital shown in the table below represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. 4. Includes $260,660 of capital loss carryforwards acquired in the September 4, 2003 merger of Oppenheimer Select Managers Gartmore Millennium Growth Fund II.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for October 31, 2004. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

TRUSTEES’ COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended October 31, 2004, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations were increased by $15,651 and payments of $3,871 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $158,276 as of October 31, 2004.

        The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the Plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CUSTODIAN FEES. Custodian Fees and Expenses in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The Reduction to Custodian Expenses line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $700 million, 0.58% of the next $1 billion, and 0.56% of average annual net assets in excess of $2.5 billion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADMINISTRATION SERVICES. The Fund pays the Manager a fee of $1,500 per year for preparing and filing the Fund's tax returns. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended October 31, 2004, the Fund paid $3,161,855 to OFS for services to the Fund.

        Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12B-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor) acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's classes of shares. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% per year

37 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Continued

on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of up to 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the plan at October 31, 2004 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $16,926,277, $3,719,875 and $376,075, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SALES CHARGES. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the table below for the period indicated.

PAYMENTS AND WAIVERS OF EXPENSES. Following a review of its use of brokerage commissions for sales that is permitted under its investment advisory agreement, the Fund’s Manager terminated that practice in July 2003. Subsequently, the Manager paid the Fund $36,160, an amount equivalent to certain of such commissions incurred in prior years.

OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. During the year ended October 31, 2004, OFS waived $404,191, $586,665, $172,572 and $43,674 for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares, respectively. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES

As of October 31, 2004, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in

38 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND

illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of October 31, 2004 was $518,607, which represents 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets, all of which are considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

On September 4, 2003, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Oppenheimer Select Managers Gartmore Millennium Growth Fund II, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Oppenheimer Select Managers Gartmore Millennium Growth Fund II shareholders on August 29, 2003. The Fund issued (at an exchange ratio of 0.525672 for Class A, 0.537854 for Class B, 0.538216 for Class C, 0.524906 for Class N and 0.515156 for Class Y of the Fund to one share of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund 317,478; 38,399; 33,708; 11,483 and 52 shares of beneficial interest for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y, respectively, valued at $4,460,569, $517,234, $453,714, $160,308 and $743 in exchange for the net assets, resulting in combined Class A net assets of 430,352,457, Class B net assets of $328,027,097, Class C net assets of $102,832,057, Class N net assets of $15,671,309 and Class Y net assets of $16,967,112 on September 4, 2003. The net assets acquired included net unrealized appreciation of $858,837 and an unused capital loss carryforward of $1,913,251, potential utilization subject to tax limitations. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. LITIGATION

Six complaints have been filed as putative derivative and class actions against the Manager, OFS and the Distributor (collectively, “OppenheimerFunds”), as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively, the “Funds”) including this Fund, and nine Directors/Trustees of certain of the Funds other than this Fund (collectively, the “Directors/Trustees”). The complaints allege that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs, improperly used assets of the Funds in the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of the Funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of Fund assets to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints further allege that by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under the

39 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. LITIGATION Continued

Investment Company Act of 1940 and at common law. By order dated October 27, 2004, these six actions, and future related actions, were consolidated by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York into a single consolidated proceeding in contemplation of the filing of a superseding consolidated and amended complaint.

        OppenheimerFunds believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them, the Funds or the Directors/Trustees and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. However, OppenheimerFunds, the Funds and the Directors/Trustees believe that the allegations contained in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously.

               OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
               --------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares1 of
the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A,
Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2  That is because of the economies of sales
efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as
the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares
to certain classes of investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to Retirement Plans do
not apply to Oppenheimer municipal funds, because shares of those funds are not available
for purchase by or on behalf of retirement plans. Other waivers apply only to shareholders
of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan"
refers to the following types of plans:
         1) plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
         2) non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
         3) employee benefit plans3
         4) Group Retirement Plans4
         5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
         6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs,
            SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special arrangement or
waiver in a particular case is in the sole discretion of the Distributor or the transfer
agent (referred to in this document as the "Transfer Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer
fund. These waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a
particular fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this
document as the "Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the shareholder
and/or dealer in the redemption request.








        Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial Sales
Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (unless a waiver
applies).

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the
Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the
case of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the
beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a
waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on
shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the
Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."5 This waiver provision applies
to:
      Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
      Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such
         shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior
         to March 1, 2001. That included plans (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial
         Plans) that: 1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of
         purchase 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more,
         or 3) certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan purchases
         of $200,000 or more.
      Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:
         1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made
            special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases, or
         2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if the
            administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements with the Distributor
            for those purchases.
      Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the following
         record-keeping arrangements:
         1) The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc.
            ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On the
            date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service agreement with Merrill
            Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a)
            mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment
            Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service Agreement
            between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal underwriter or
            distributor, and  (b)  funds advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in
            (a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable Investments").
         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation
            basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or
            arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan
            sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money
            market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement
            with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the
            Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch
            plan conversion manager).

         are linked to a master account of their investment advisor or financial planner on
         the books and records of the broker, agent or financial intermediary with which

         affiliates, their relatives or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit
         plan which beneficially owns shares for those persons.

         directors or trustees of the company or trust which is the beneficial owner of
         such accounts.
      A unit investment trust that has entered into an appropriate agreement with the
         Distributor.

         made through a broker, agent or other financial intermediary that has made special
         arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.

         Class B or Class C shares of a Former Quest for Value Fund were exchanged for
         Class A shares of that Fund due to the termination of the Class B and Class C
         TRAC-2000 program on November 24, 1995.
      A qualified Retirement Plan that had agreed with the former Quest for Value Advisors
         to purchase shares of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds at net asset value,

            offered as an investment option in a Retirement Plan if the plan has made
            special arrangements with the Distributor.
         11)      Distributions made on account of a plan termination or "in-service"
            distributions, if the redemption proceeds are rolled over directly to an
            OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRA.
         12)      For distributions from a participant's account under an Automatic
            Withdrawal Plan after the participant reaches age 59 1/2, as long as the aggregate
            value of the distributions does not exceed 10% of the account's value, adjusted

      Shares issued in plans of reorganization to which the Fund is a party.
      Shares sold to present or former officers, directors, trustees or employees (and
         their "immediate families" as defined above in Section I.A.) of the Fund, the
         Manager and its affiliates and retirement plans established by them for their
         employees.

Class C shares described in the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of the
Oppenheimer funds are modified as described below for certain persons who were shareholders
of the former Quest for Value Funds.  To be eligible, those persons must have been

         that was one of the Former Quest for Value Funds, or
      purchased by such shareholder by exchange of shares of another Oppenheimer fund that

      For purchases by Associations having 50 or more eligible employees or members, there
is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares, but those shares are subject to
the Class A contingent deferred sales charge described in the applicable fund's Prospectus.







      Purchases made under this arrangement qualify for the lower of either the sales
charge rate in the table based on the number of members of an Association, or the sales
charge rate that applies under the Right of Accumulation described in the applicable fund's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Individuals who qualify under this
arrangement for reduced sales charge rates as members of Associations also may purchase
shares for their individual or custodial accounts at these reduced sales charge rates, upon
request to the Distributor.

      Waiver of Class A Sales Charges for Certain Shareholders.  Class A shares purchased
by the following investors are not subject to any Class A initial or contingent deferred
sales charges:
o     Shareholders who were shareholders of the AMA Family of Funds on February 28, 1991
            and who acquired shares of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds by merger of
            a portfolio of the AMA Family of Funds.
o     Shareholders who acquired shares of any Former Quest for Value Fund by merger of any
            of the portfolios of the Unified Funds.

      Waiver of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in Certain Transactions.  The
Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to redemptions of Class A shares
purchased by the following investors who were shareholders of any Former Quest for Value
Fund:

      Investors who purchased Class A shares from a dealer that is or was not permitted to
receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder with whom that dealer has a
fiduciary relationship, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and
regulations adopted under that law.

B. Class A, Class B and Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

      Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased Prior to March 6, 1995.  In the following
cases, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A,
Class B or Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund. The shares must have been acquired by the
merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund or by exchange from an Oppenheimer

must have been purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with:
o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan holding only either Class B or Class C
            shares if the annual withdrawal does not exceed 10% of the initial value of the
            account value, adjusted annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of shares
            held in the account is less than the required minimum value of such accounts.

      Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased on or After March 6, 1995 but Prior to
November 24, 1995. In the following cases, the contingent deferred sales charge will be
waived for redemptions of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund. The
shares must have been acquired by the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund
or by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into
which such Former Quest for Value Fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased on or
after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:

            shares) where the annual withdrawals do not exceed 10% of the initial value of
            the account value; adjusted annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of shares
            held in the account is less than the required minimum account value.

      A shareholder's account will be credited with the amount of any contingent deferred
sales charge paid on the redemption of any Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the

of shares in that fund or another Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.

A. Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

      Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a Fund and the
other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue to make additional purchases
of Class A shares at net asset value without a Class A initial sales charge, but subject to
the Class A contingent deferred sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996
(the "prior Class A CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those shares are
redeemed within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred sales
charge on an amount equal to the current market value or the original purchase price of the
shares sold, whichever is smaller (in such redemptions, any shares not subject to the prior
Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).

      Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
         1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18, 1996, as a result of
            direct purchases or purchases pursuant to the Fund's policies on Combined
            Purchases or Rights of Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund
            or other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
         2) persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention entered into
            prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general distributor of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase shares valued at $500,000 or more over a
            13-month period entitled those persons to purchase shares at net asset value
            without being subject to the Class A initial sales charge

      Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds
that were purchased at net asset value prior to March 18, 1996, remain subject to the prior
Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares are purchased by those shareholders at net asset
value pursuant to this arrangement they will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.







      Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased
without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of the categories below and
acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and still holds Class A shares:
         1) any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the Fund or any
            one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more,

            Intention and Rights of Accumulation features available at the time of the

            Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund merged;
         2) any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total initial amount
            invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut

            L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds,
            and its affiliated companies;
         5) one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and persons who are
            retirees from such group) engaged in a common business, profession, civic or
            charitable endeavor or other activity, and the spouses and minor dependent
            children of such persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such
            group; and
         6) an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual or individuals,
            if such institution was directly compensated by the individual(s) for

exchanges the variable annuity contract proceeds to buy Class A shares of the Fund.
