                                   SYNOPSIS

      This is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the more
detailed information contained in or incorporated by reference in this
combined Prospectus and Proxy Statement and by the Reorganization Agreement
which is attached as Exhibit A. Shareholders should carefully review this
Prospectus and Proxy Statement and the Reorganization Agreement in their
entirety and, in particular, the current Prospectus of Balanced Fund which
accompanies this Prospectus and Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by
reference.

What am I being asked to vote on?

      You are being asked by the Board of Directors of Disciplined Allocation
Fund to approve the reorganization of your Fund, Disciplined Allocation Fund,
with and into Balanced Fund (each individually a "Fund" and collectively the
"Funds").  If shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund approve the
Reorganization, substantially all of the assets of Disciplined Allocation
Fund will be transferred to Balanced Fund, in exchange for an equal value of
shares of Balanced Fund and the assumption of certain liabilities, if any,
described in the Reorganization Agreement. The shares of Balanced Fund will
then be distributed to Disciplined Allocation Fund shareholders, and
Disciplined Allocation Fund will subsequently be liquidated. If the
Reorganization is approved by shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund,
you will no longer be a shareholder of Disciplined Allocation Fund, and,
instead, will become a shareholder of Balanced Fund.  This exchange will
occur on the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Reorganization
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A) of the Reorganization.

      Approval of the Reorganization means that as a shareholder in
Disciplined Allocation Fund, you will receive Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class N shares of Balanced Fund equal in value to the value of the net assets
of Disciplined Allocation Fund transferred to Balanced Fund on the Closing
Date.  The shares you receive will be issued at net asset value ("NAV")
without a sales charge and will not be subject to any contingent deferred
sales charge ("CDSC").

      In considering whether to approve the Reorganization, you should
consider, among other things:

(i) The number of similarities (as well as some principal differences)
               between the Funds (as discussed herein) and the relative
               advantages and disadvantages of each Fund.
(ii) That the Reorganization would allow you the ability to continue your
               investment in a fund that closely resembles the investment
               style you were seeking when you invested in Disciplined
               Allocation Fund.

Balanced Fund is an open-end, diversified, management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Disciplined Allocation Fund is a
series of Oppenheimer Series Fund, Inc., an open-end, diversified management
investment company organized as a Maryland Corporation.  Disciplined
Allocation Fund commenced operations on September 16, 1985.  Balanced Fund
commenced operations on April 24, 1987.  Disciplined Allocation Fund is
significantly smaller than Balanced Fund.  As of January 31, 2006,
Disciplined Allocation Fund had approximately $131 million in net assets. In
contrast, as of January 31, 2006, Balanced Fund had approximately $933
million in net assets.  The Manager has concluded that Disciplined Allocation
Fund's assets will not increase substantially in size in the near future. By
merging into Balanced Fund, shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund
should have the benefit of economies of scale associated with a larger fund
while maintaining their investment in a fund with similar investment
objectives and policies.  Additionally, the Manager is the investment advisor
to both Funds and employs the same team of investment professionals to manage
both Funds. (See the discussion in "Reasons for the Reorganization" beginning
on page 35 below for more details.)

      The Board of Disciplined Allocation Fund reviewed and discussed with
the Manager and the Board's independent legal counsel the proposed
Reorganization. Information with respect to, but not limited to, each Fund's
respective investment objectives and policies, management fees, distribution
fees and other operating expenses, historical performance and asset size, was
also considered by the Board of Disciplined Allocation Fund.

      Based on the considerations discussed above and the reasons more fully
described under "Reasons for the Reorganization" (beginning on page 35
below), together with other relevant factors and information, at a meeting
held on December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of Disciplined Allocation
Fund concluded that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of
shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund and that the Fund would not
experience any dilution as a result of the Reorganization.  The Board of
Directors of Disciplined Allocation Fund voted to approve the proposed
Reorganization and to recommend that shareholders approve the proposed
Reorganization.

      The proposed Reorganization was also approved by the Board of Trustees
of Balanced Fund at a meeting held on December 15, 2005.

               THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
             TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

What are the general tax consequences of the Reorganization?

      It is expected that shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund will
not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
the exchange of their shares for shares of Balanced Fund. You should,
however, consult your tax advisor regarding the effect, if any, of the
Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances. You should also
consult your tax advisor about state and local tax consequences.

      For federal income tax purposes, the holding period of your Disciplined
Allocation Fund shares will be carried over to the holding period for
Balanced Fund shares you receive in connection with the Reorganization. This
exchange will occur on the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the
Reorganization Agreement) of the Reorganization.  For further information
about the tax consequences of the Reorganization, please see the "Information
About the Reorganization--What are the Tax Consequences of the Reorganization?"

How do the investment objectives and policies of the Funds compare?

As shown in the chart below, the respective investment objectives and
strategies of the Funds are substantially similar.

                                         favorable economic factors.

 The portfolio managers construct the
 equity portion of the portfolio using
 a "bottom up" approach, focusing on
 the fundamental prospects of
 individual companies and issuers,
 rather than on broad economic trends
 affecting entire markets and
 industries. The portfolio managers
 focus on factors that may vary over
 time and in particular cases.
 Currently they look for:

 o Individual stocks that are
       attractive based on fundamental
       stock analysis and company
       characteristics;
 o Growth stocks having high earnings
       potential and earnings and sales
       momentum; and
 o Dividend-paying common stocks of
       established companies for income.

 The    portfolio    managers    monitor
 individual   issuers   for  changes  in
 profit  margins  or  slowing   revenues
 that might affect  future cash flows or
 growth.  The existence of these changes
 in a  particular  case  may  trigger  a
 decision  to  sell  the  security.  The
 portfolio    managers    may   consider
 selling  a stock for one or more of the
 following reasons:
 o The  stock   price  has  reached  its
          target,
 o The company's  fundamentals appear to
          be deteriorating, or
 o Better stock  selections are believed
          to have been identified.
 These approaches may change over time.

 The Fund's portfolio managers analyze
 the overall investment opportunities
 and risks in different sectors of the
 debt securities markets by focusing on
 business cycle analysis and relative
 values between the corporate and
 government sectors. The portfolio
 managers' overall strategy is to build
 a broadly diversified portfolio of
 corporate and government bonds. The
 portfolio managers currently focus on
 the factors below (which may vary in
 particular cases and may change over
 time), looking for:
 o Debt securities in market sectors
          that offer attractive
          relative value,
 o Investment-grade securities that
          offer more income than U.S.
          Treasury obligations with a
          good balance of risk and
          return,
 o High income potential from different
          types of corporate and
          government securities, and
 o Broad portfolio diversification to
          help reduce the volatility of
          the Fund's share prices.

       The portfolio managers may
       consider selling a bond for one
       or more of the following reasons:
 o The bond price has reached its
          target,
 o The bond's fundamentals appear to be
          deteriorating, or
 o Better bond selections are believed
          to have been identified.

      The investment polices of the Funds are substantially similar. Both
Funds primarily invest in stock and other equity investments of U.S. and
foreign companies, debt securities (including those issued by domestic and
foreign companies), and money market instruments (such as short-term U.S.
government securities and commercial paper).   With respect to fixed income
investments, both Funds primarily invest in investment-grade debt securities,
which include domestic and foreign government bonds, domestic and foreign
corporate debt obligations, and mortgage related securities issued by private
issuers.  Disciplined Allocation Fund also tends invest in money market
instruments to achieve its secondary objective of capital preservation and
can hold up to 40% of its total assets in money market instruments.  Also,
Balanced Fund may hold up to 35% in below investment grade ("junk") bonds,
whereas Disciplined Allocation Fund can invest as much as 20% of its total
assets in lower-grade securities.

      In terms of set allocation of assets among the classes of securities
 purchased, at least 25% of each Fund's respective total assets will normally
 be invested in fixed-income senior securities.  Balanced Fund will also
 normally invest at least 25% of its total assets in stocks and other equity
 securities.  Otherwise, neither Fund is required to allocate its investments
 among stocks, bonds and money market instruments in any fixed proportion --
 they may have some or none of their assets invested in each asset class in
 relative proportions that change over time based on market and economic
 conditions.  Currently, however, the Funds focus mainly on U.S. government
 securities and investment-grade debt securities. However, if market
 conditions change, the Funds' portfolio managers can change the relative
 allocation of the Funds' assets.

      The members of the same portfolio management team manage both Funds and
 the Funds' investment strategies are similar. Both Funds may employ "growth"
 and "value" styles in selecting stocks. Both Funds may also invest in bonds
 and money market instruments. The portfolio managers of both Funds also may
 vary the portfolios' mix of equity and debt securities and cash over time as
 they evaluate market and economic conditions to seek the best opportunities.

What are the fees and  expenses of each Fund and what are they  expected to be
after the Reorganization?

      Disciplined Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund each pay a variety of
expenses directly for management of the respective Fund's assets,
administration and/or distribution of shares and other services. Those
expenses are subtracted from each Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net
asset value per share. Shareholders pay these expenses indirectly.
Shareholders pay other expenses directly, such as sales charges.

      The following table is provided to help you understand and compare the
fees and expenses of investing in shares of Disciplined Allocation Fund with
the fees and expenses of investing in shares of Balanced Fund. The pro forma
fees and expenses of the surviving Balanced Fund show what the fees and
expenses are expected to be after giving effect to the Reorganization of
Disciplined Allocation Fund into Balanced Fund.

      The chart below reflects the current contractual management fee
schedule for each of the Funds and the proposed management fee schedule for
the surviving Balanced Fund upon the successful completion of the
Reorganization.

Expenses may vary in future years.  "Other Expenses" include transfer agent
fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that each Fund pays.
The transfer agent has voluntarily undertaken to each Fund to limit the
transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for
all classes.  That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

1. A contingent deferred sales charge may apply to redemptions of investments
   of $1 million or more ($500,000 for retirement plan accounts) of Class A
   shares. See "How to Buy Shares" in each Fund's Prospectus for details.
2. Applies to redemptions within the first year after purchase. The
   contingent deferred sales charge gradually declines from 5% to 1% in years
   one through six and is eliminated after that.
3. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
4. Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of retirement plan's first
   purchase of Class N shares.

Examples

      These examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of
investing in each Fund and the surviving Balanced Fund after the
Reorganization. These examples assume an annual return for each class of 5%,
the operating expenses described in the tables above and reinvestment of your
dividends and distributions.

      Your actual costs may be higher or lower because expenses will vary
over time. For each $10,000 investment, you would pay the following projected
expenses if you redeemed your shares after the number of years shown or held
your shares for the number of years shown without redeeming, according to the
following examples.

(1.) In the "If shares are redeemed"  examples,  expenses  include the initial
   sales  charge for Class A and the  applicable  Class B, Class C and Class N
   contingent deferred sales charges.
(2.) In the "If  shares  are not  redeemed"  examples,  the  Class A  expenses
   include  the  initial  sales  charge,  but  Class  B,  Class C and  Class N
   expenses do not include the contingent deferred sales charges.
(3.) Class B expenses  for years 7 through  10 are based on Class A  expenses,
   since Class B shares automatically convert to Class A after 6 years.

How have the Funds performed?

      The following past performance information for each Fund is set forth
below: (i) a bar chart showing changes in each Fund's performance for Class A
shares from year to year for the last ten calendar years (or less, if
applicable) and (ii) tables detailing how the average annual total returns of
each Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compared to those of
broad-based market indices. The after-tax returns are shown for Class A
shares only and are calculated using the historical highest individual
federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the periods shown and do
not reflect the impact of state or local taxes.  The after-tax returns are
calculated based on certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your
actual after-tax returns may differ from those shown, depending on your
individual tax situation. The after-tax returns set forth below are not
relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred
arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional investors not
subject to tax. The past investment performance of either Fund, before and
after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how either Fund will perform
in the future.

1. The Funds' returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and
   assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been
   reinvested in additional shares.
2. Both Funds' average annual total returns include the applicable sales
   charges: for Class A the current maximum initial sales charge is 5.75%;
   for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charges is 5% (1-year)
   and 2% (5-year); and for Class C and Class N, the 1% contingent deferred
   sales charge for the 1-year period.
3. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase,
   Class B "10 Years" performance for each Fund does not include the
   contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for the
   period after conversion.

The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that
all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in
additional shares.  The performance of each Fund's Class A shares are
compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of common stocks. In
addition, the performance of Disciplined Allocation Fund also is compared to
the Merrill Lynch Government and Corporate Master Index, a broad-based index
of U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, corporate and Yankee
bonds. The performance of Balanced Fund also is compared to the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate,
government and mortgage-backed securities. The indices' performance includes
reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses
or taxes. Each Fund's investments vary from those in the indices.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF BALANCED FUND'S PERFORMANCE. Although Balanced
Fund slightly underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 during its
fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the Fund's performance was particularly
robust in its equity portfolio. The Fund's fixed-income investments produced
more modest returns.

In the consumer discretionary area, holdings such as media conglomerate
Liberty Global, Inc., retailer Sears Holdings and homebuilders Toll Brothers
and WCI Communities, Inc. helped boost the Fund's relative performance.
Winners in the consumer staples area included beverage producer Constellation
Brands Inc., Cl. A and food and tobacco giant Altria Group, Inc., which
benefited from easing litigation concerns and a planned corporate
restructuring designed to unlock shareholder value.

      In the financials area, investment firm, Lehman Brothers Holdings,
Inc., gained value as investors rewarded efforts to diversify its revenue
sources; the insurance provider, Genworth Financial, Inc., Cl. A, saw its
valuation expand after its spin-off from General Electric; and real estate
owner Host Marriott Corp. benefited from an upswing in occupancy rates and
room prices. Among health care holdings, the Fund successfully avoided
declines posted by large pharmaceutical companies while capturing gains in
medical services providers, such as Pacificare Health Systems, which was
subject to an acquisition offer.

      The Fund's equity portfolio suffered relatively few disappointments
during the reporting period. The Fund's telecommunications services holdings
produced slightly lower returns than the benchmark, primarily due to its lack
of participation in gains achieved by the regional bell operating companies.
Although the Fund had less exposure to the high-flying energy and utilities
sectors than the benchmark, strong stock selections offset any resulting
weakness.

      We generally maintained the Fund's bond portfolio's average duration in
a range that was shorter than the benchmark, which hindered relative
performance early in the reporting period but later benefited returns.
Duration reflects the sensitivity of the Fund's return to changes in interest
rates. Conversely, the Fund's emphasis on corporate bonds at the lower end of
the investment-grade range helped early in the reporting period, when
investors' appetite for risk grew, but later undermined performance when
weakness in the automotive sector eroded investor sentiment. Among
mortgage-backed securities, the Fund's focus on seasoned, higher-coupon
mortgages that the markets had priced too high a premium for prepayment risk
in our view, helped support returns over the reporting period's first half,
but detracted modestly during the second half.

      As of the reporting period's end, the Fund assets were apportioned
44.8% to equities, 46.5% to bonds and 8.7% to cash. In our view, the Fund
remains well positioned to capture the growth opportunities of stocks while
managing risks through diversification across both stocks and bonds.

COMPARING BALANCED FUND'S PERFORMANCE TO THE MARKET. The graphs that follow
show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of
shares of Balanced Fund held until September 30, 2005. In the case of Class
A, Class B, and Class C shares, performance is measured over a
ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Class N shares, performance is
measured from inception of the Class on March 1, 2001. The Fund's performance
reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares,
the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class
N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions.
Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

      The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500
Index, a broad-based index of equity securities widely regarded as a general
measure of the performance of the U.S. equity securities market. The Fund's
performance is also compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an
unmanaged index of U.S. Government Treasury and agency issues, investment
grade corporate bond issues and fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. That
index is widely regarded as a measure of the performance of the domestic debt
securities market. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but
does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in
the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund's performance reflects the
effects of the Fund's business and operating expenses. While index
comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund's performance,
it must be noted that the Fund's investments are not limited to the
investments in either index.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not
guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an
investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For
performance
data current to the most recent month end, visit us at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or call us at 1.800.525.7048. Fund returns include
changes in share price, Reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales
charge: for Class A Shares, The current maximum initial sales charge of
5.75%; for Class B Shares, the Contingent deferred sales charge of 5%
(1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C And N Shares, the contingent 1%
deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. Because Class B Shares convert
to Class A Shares 72 months after purchase, Since-inception return for Class
B Shares uses Class A performance for the Period after conversion.

Total returns and the ending account values in the graphs include changes in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in
a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund's total returns
shown do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual's
investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or
gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

HOW DO THE ACCOUNT FEATURES AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES FOR THE FUNDS COMPARE?

Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges

      Both Funds are part of the OppenheimerFunds family of mutual funds. The
procedures for purchases, exchanges and redemptions of shares of the Funds
are substantially the same. Shares of either Fund may be exchanged for shares
of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds offering such shares. Exchange
privileges are subject to amendment or termination at any time.

      Both Funds have the same initial and subsequent minimum investment
amounts for the purchase of shares. These amounts are $1,000 and $50,
respectively. Both Funds have a maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% on
Class A shares for purchases of less than $25,000. The sales charge of 5.75%
is reduced for purchases of Class A shares of $25,000 or more. Investors who
purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares pay no initial sales charge but
may have to pay a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1% if the shares
are sold within 18 calendar months from the beginning of the calendar month
during which they were purchased. Class B shares of the Funds are sold
without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption depending on the length of time the
shares are held. The CDSC begins at 5% for shares redeemed in the first year
and declines to 1% in the sixth year and is eliminated after that. Class C
shares may be purchased without an initial sales charge, but if redeemed
within 12 months of buying them, a CDSC of 1% may be deducted. Class N shares
are purchased without an initial sales charge, but if redeemed within 18
months of the retirement plan's first purchase of N shares, a CDSC of 1% may
be deducted.

      Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Balanced Fund received
in the Reorganization will be issued at net asset value, without a sales
charge and no CDSC or redemption fee will be imposed on any Disciplined
Allocation Fund shares exchanged for Balanced Fund shares as a result of the
Reorganization. However, any CDSC that applies to Disciplined Allocation Fund
shares as of the date of the exchange will carry over to Balanced Fund shares
received in the Reorganization.

Dividends and Distributions

      Both Funds intend to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net investment income on a quarterly basis and pay them
quarterly. Dividends and distributions paid to Class A shares will generally
be higher than dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares, which
normally have higher expenses than Class A shares. The Funds have no fixed
dividend rate and cannot guarantee that they will pay any dividends or
distributions.

      Either Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio
securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of any net short-term
or long-term capital gains each year. The Funds may make supplemental
distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of their
fiscal years.  There can be no assurance that either Fund will pay any
capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Other Shareholder Services

      Both Funds also offer the following privileges: (i) the ability to
reduce your sales charge on purchases of Class A shares through rights of
accumulation or letters of intent, (ii) reinvestment of dividends and
distributions at net asset value, (iii) net asset value purchases by certain
individuals and entities, (iv) Asset Builder (automatic investment) Plans,
(v) Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans for shareholders who own shares
of the Funds valued at $5,000 or more, (vi) AccountLink and PhoneLink
arrangements, (vii) exchanges of shares for shares of the same class of
certain other funds at net asset value, (viii) telephone and Internet
redemption and exchange privileges and (ix) wire redemptions of fund shares
(for a fee). All of such services and privileges are subject to amendment or
termination at any time and are subject to the terms of the Funds' respective
prospectuses.  For additional information, please see the section in the
current Prospectus of Balanced Fund titled "ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT."

 WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF AN INVESTMENT IN DISCIPLINED ALLOCATION FUND
                              OR BALANCED FUND?

      The risks associated with an investment in each Fund are substantially
similar. Like all investments, an investment in either Fund involves risk.
There is no assurance that either Fund will meet its investment objective.
The achievement of the Funds' goals depends upon market conditions,
generally, and on the portfolio manager's analytical and portfolio management
skills. The risks described below collectively form the risk profiles of the
Funds, and can affect the value of the Funds' investments, investment
performance and prices per share. There is also the risk that poor securities
selection by the Manager will cause the Funds to underperform other funds
having a similar objective. These risks mean that you can lose money by
investing in either Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more
or less than what you paid for them.

      In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, each Fund may be less volatile than
funds that focus only on stock investments, but have less opportunities for
capital growth than funds focused solely on stocks and more risks than the
funds that focus solely on investment grade bonds

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term
volatility at times may be great. Because each Fund currently has substantial
investments in stocks, the value of each Fund's portfolio will be affected by
changes in the stock markets. Market risk will affect each Fund's per share
prices, which will fluctuate as the values of each Fund's portfolio
securities change. Balanced Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its
total assets in stocks and other equity securities. While Disciplined
Allocation Fund has no limit on the amount of its assets it can invest in
stocks, at least 25% of its total assets normally will be invested in
fixed-income senior securities.

    A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular stock and the
prices of individual stocks do not all move in the same direction uniformly
or at the same time. Different stock markets may behave differently from each
other. In particular, because each Fund currently emphasizes investments in
stocks of U.S. issuers, it will be affected primarily by changes in U.S.
stock markets.

      Additionally, stocks of issuers in a particular industry may be
affected by changes in economic conditions that affect that industry more
than others, or by changes in government regulations, availability of basic
resources or supplies, or other events affecting that industry. To the extent
that each Fund emphasizes investments in a particular industry, its share
values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry.

      Other factors can affect a particular stock's price, such as poor
earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation
against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer
or its industry. Each Fund can invest in securities of large companies but it
can also buy stocks of small- and medium-size companies, which may have more
volatile stock prices than stocks of large companies.

Risks of Value Investing. Value investing seeks stocks having prices that are
      low in relation to what is believed to be their real worth or
      prospects. Each Fund seeks to realize appreciation in the value of its
      holdings when other investors realize the intrinsic value of those
      stocks. In using a value investing style, there is the risk that the
      market will not recognize that the securities are undervalued and they
      might not appreciate in value as the Manager anticipates.

Risks of Growth Investing. Stocks of growth companies, particularly newer
      companies, may offer opportunities for greater capital appreciation but
      may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies.
      If the company's earnings growth or stock price fails to increase as
      expected, the stock price of a growth company may decline sharply.

      Neither Fund is required to allocate its equity investments among value
      and growth stocks in any fixed proportion. Each Fund may invest its
      assets in relative proportions that change over time.

CREDIT RISK.  Debt securities are subject to credit risk.  Credit risk
relates to the ability of the issuer of a security to make interest and
principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to
pay interest, each Fund's income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to
repay principal, the value of that security and of each Fund's shares might
be reduced. While each Fund's investments in U.S. government securities are
subject to little credit risk, each Fund's other investments in debt
securities, particularly high-yield, lower-grade debt securities, are subject
to risks of default. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other
adverse news about an issuer can reduce the value of that issuer's securities.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Up to 35% of Balanced Fund's total
assets and up to 20% of Disciplined Allocation Fund's total assets may be
invested in securities below investment-grade to seek income. Therefore, each
Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only
investment-grade bonds. Lower-grade debt securities (commonly called "junk
bonds") may be subject to greater market fluctuations and greater risks of
loss of income and principal than investment-grade debt securities.
Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investment grade generally
have greater risks that the issuers of those securities might not meet their
debt obligations. The market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid,
especially during times of general economic distress, and therefore they may
be harder to sell at an acceptable price. These risks can reduce each Fund's
share prices and the income it earns.

      Lower-grade debt securities are those rated below "Baa" by Moody's
Investors Service ("Moody's") or lower than "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
("S&P") or that have comparable ratings by other nationally-recognized rating
organizations. They include unrated securities assigned a comparable rating
by the Manager. Balanced Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or
"D" or which are in default at the time Balanced Fund buys them. While
securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are considered "investment
grade," they have some speculative characteristics.

INTEREST RATE RISKS. 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. When prevailing
interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally
fall, and the securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. The
magnitude of these price changes is generally greater for debt securities
with longer-term maturities. However, interest rate changes may have
different effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of
prepayment risks, discussed below.

PREPAYMENT RISK.  Mortgage-related securities, including forward rolls, are
subject to the risks of unanticipated prepayment.  The risk is that when
interest rates fall, borrowers under the mortgages that underlie these
securities will prepay their mortgages more quickly than expected, causing
the issuer of the security to prepay the principal to a Fund prior to the
security's expected maturity.  A Fund may be required to reinvest the
proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.  Mortgage-related
securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for
gains when prevailing interest rates fall and have greater potential for loss
when prevailing interest rates rise. The impact of prepayments on the price
of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the volatility of
the price.  If a Fund buys mortgage-related securities at a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause each Fund to lose a
portion of its principal investment represented by the premium.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. Disciplined Allocation Fund can invest up to 25%
of its total assets in securities of companies or governments in any country,
whether a developed or an emerging market country. These include equity and
debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than
the United States and debt securities of foreign governments and their
agencies and instrumentalities.

      Balanced Fund can buy securities issued by companies or governments in
any country, whether a developed or an emerging market country. While
Balanced Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in these foreign
securities, it normally expects to invest not more than 50% of its total
assets in foreign securities whether developed or emerging market countries.

      While foreign securities offer special investment opportunities, there
 are also special risks. The change in value of a foreign currency against
 the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of
 securities denominated in that foreign currency. Foreign issuers are not
 subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S.
 companies are subject to.

      The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control
regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign
taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental,
economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and
economic factors.

      Additionally, if a Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in
foreign securities, it might expose the Fund to "time-zone arbitrage"
attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of the differences in value
of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the
close of the foreign securities market on which a foreign security is traded
and the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day, when the Fund's net
asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it
might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, each Fund's use of
"fair value pricing" to adjust the closing market prices of foreign
securities under certain circumstances, to reflect what the Manager and the
Board believe to be their fair value, and the imposition of redemption fees
may help deter those activities.

Special Risks of Emerging and Developing Markets. Securities in emerging and
developing markets present risks not found in more mature markets. Those
securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their
prices may be more volatile than securities of issuers in more developed
markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the
proceeds of such a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis.

    Emerging markets might have less developed trading markets and exchanges,
and legal and accounting systems. Investments may be subject to greater risks
of government restrictions on withdrawing the sales proceeds of securities
from the country. Economies of developing countries may be more dependent on
relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global
changes. Governments may be more unstable and present greater risks of
nationalization or restrictions on foreign ownership of stocks of local
companies. These investments may be very speculative.

ASSET ALLOCATION RISKS. Because each Fund typically invests in a combination
of stocks, bonds and money market instruments to seek total return, it might
not achieve growth in its share prices to the same degree as funds focusing
on stocks during periods of rapidly rising prices. Also, each Fund's
investments in stocks may make it more difficult for the Manager to preserve
principal in volatile stock markets. Each Fund's use of value and growth
styles in selecting stocks might not be successful, particularly if stocks
selected as value investments fail to appreciate in price to the extent the
Manager expected.

Stock and Other Equity Investments. Equity securities include common stocks,
preferred stocks, warrants and debt securities convertible into common stock.
Balanced Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its total assets in stocks
and other equity securities and Disciplined Allocation Fund has no limit on
the amount of its assets it can invest in stocks.  Disciplined Allocation
Fund's equity investments can include interests in real estate investment
trusts. Those securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and
because the real estate market can be very volatile at times, the prices of
those securities may change substantially. Because total return has two
components, capital appreciation and income, the Manager might select stocks
that offer the potential for either or both of those elements.

While many convertible securities are debt securities, the Manager considers
some of them to be "equity equivalents" because of the conversion feature. In
that case their credit rating has less impact on the investment decision than
in the case of other debt securities. Convertible securities are subject to
credit risk and interest rate risk, discussed above.

These securities might be selected for the Funds because they offer the
ability to participate in stock market movements while offering some current
income. Preferred stocks, while a form of equity security, typically have a
fixed dividend that may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt
securities. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks
may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline.

Debt Securities. Disciplined Allocation Fund can invest in a variety of debt
securities to seek its objective. The debt securities Disciplined Allocation
Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating organizations or they
may be unrated securities assigned an equivalent credit rating by the
Manager. Disciplined Allocation Fund's debt investments may be "investment
grade" (that is, in the four highest rating categories of a nationally
recognized rating organization) or may be lower-grade securities (sometimes
called "junk bonds") rated as low as "B" by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc.
("Fitch") or having comparable ratings by other nationally recognized rating
organizations (or, if they are unrated, having a comparable rating assigned
by the Manager). Disciplined Allocation Fund does not invest more than 10% of
its total assets in unrated debt securities. A description of the ratings
definitions of nationally recognized rating organizations is included in
Appendix A to the Statement of Additional Information dated February 28,
2006.

While Disciplined Allocation Fund can invest as much as 20% of its total
assets in lower-grade securities, currently it does not intend to invest more
than 10% of its total assets in these investments. Lower-grade debt
securities may be subject to greater market fluctuations and greater risks of
loss of income and principal than investment-grade debt securities.
Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investment grade are exposed
to a greater risk that the issuers of those securities might not meet their
debt obligations.  These risks can reduce Disciplined Allocation Fund's share
prices and the income it earns.

Balanced Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its net assets in
fixed-income senior securities, such as bonds and notes. The debt securities
Balanced Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating organizations
or they may be unrated securities assigned a rating by the Manager.

      Balanced Fund has no requirements as to the maturity of the debt
securities it can buy, or as to the market capitalization range of the
issuers of those securities. Balanced Fund's investments may be investment
grade or below investment grade in credit quality. The Manager does not rely
solely on ratings by rating organizations in selecting debt securities but
evaluates business and economic factors affecting an issuer as well.

      Balanced Fund's foreign debt investments can be denominated in U.S.
dollars or in foreign currencies. Foreign government securities might not be
backed by the government's full faith and credit. The Fund can buy "Brady
Bonds." Those are U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities collateralized by
zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities. They are typically issued by
governments of emerging market countries and are considered speculative
securities with higher risks of default. Balanced Fund will buy foreign
currency only in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign securities
and not for speculation.

U.S. Government Securities.  Each Fund can invest in securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or other government agencies or
federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as "instrumentalities."
These are referred to as "U.S. government securities" in this Prospectus and
Proxy Statement.

o U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (having maturities
      of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of
      more than one year and up to ten years when issued), and Treasury bonds
      (having maturities of more than ten years when issued). Treasury
      securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
      as to timely payments of interest and repayments of principal. Each
      Fund also can buy U. S. Treasury securities that have been "stripped"
      of their coupons by a Federal Reserve Bank, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury
      securities, and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities.

o Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or
      Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and
      mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit
      support from the U.S. government. Some are supported by the full faith
      and credit of the U.S. government, such as Government National Mortgage
      Association pass-through mortgage certificates ("Ginnie Maes"). Some
      are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
      Treasury under certain circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage
      Association bonds ("Fannie Maes"). Others are supported by the credit
      of the entity that issued them, such as Federal Home Loan Mortgage
      Corporation obligations ("Freddie Macs").  Securities issued by Fannie
      Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither guaranteed
      nor issued by the U.S. Government.

o Mortgage-Related U.S. Government Securities. Each Fund can buy interests in
      pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of CMOs and
      other "pass-through" mortgage securities. CMOs that are U.S. government
      securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal.
      They may be issued in different series, each having different interest
      rates and maturities. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage
      pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or
      instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency.
      Each Fund can have substantial amounts of its assets invested in
      mortgage-related U.S. government securities.

      The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions
about the cash flows from the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages.
Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected prepayments of those
mortgages to change. In general, prepayments increase when general interest
rates fall and decrease when general interest rates rise.

o Forward  Rolls.  Each Fund can enter into "forward roll"  transactions  with
      respect to mortgage-related  securities. In this type of transaction,  a
      mortgage-related  security is sold to a buyer and simultaneously  agrees
      to repurchase a similar security at a later date at a set price.

      During the period between the sale and the repurchase, a Fund will not
      be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the
      securities that have been sold. It is possible that the market value of
      the securities the Fund sells may decline below the price at which the
      Fund is obligated to repurchase securities, or that the counterparty
      might default in its obligation. A substantial portion of the Fund's
      assets may be subject to forward roll transactions at any given time.

o Private-Issuer Mortgage-Backed Securities. Each Fund can invest a
      substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities issued
      by private issuers, which do not offer the credit backing of U.S.
      government securities. Primarily these include multi-class debt or
      pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans. They may be issued
      by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other
      non-governmental issuers. Private issuer mortgage-backed securities are
      subject to the credit risks of the issuers (as well as the interest
      rate risks and prepayment risks of CMOs), although in some cases they
      may be supported by insurance or guarantees.

      If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments of mortgages (the risks of
      which are described above) may occur at a slower rate than expected,
      and the expected maturity of long-term or medium-term mortgage-related
      securities could lengthen as a result. That could cause their values to
      fluctuate more, and the prices of a Fund's shares to fall.

Money Market Instruments. The Fund can invest in money market instruments,
which include short-term certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances,
commercial paper, U.S. Government obligations, and other debt instruments
(including bonds) issued by corporations. These securities may have variable
or floating interest rates. The Fund's investments in commercial paper in
general will be limited to paper in the top two rating categories of S&P or
Moody's.

Zero-Coupon and "Stripped" Securities.  Some of the government and corporate
debt securities the Fund buys are zero-coupon bonds that pay no interest.
They are issued at a substantial discount from their face value. "Stripped"
securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt
security. Some CMOs or other mortgage-related securities may be stripped,
with each component having a different proportion of principal or interest
payments. One class might receive all the interest and the other all the
principal payments.

Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in
price from interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities. Either
Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon securities without
receiving the actual cash currently. Interest-only securities are
particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates.

The values of interest-only mortgage-related securities are also very
sensitive to prepayments of underlying mortgages. Principal-only securities
are also sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, when
prepayments decrease, the yields on principal-only securities also decrease.
The market for some of these securities may be limited, making it difficult
for each Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price.

While Balanced Fund has no limits on the amount it can invest in zero-coupon
securities, Disciplined Allocation Fund can only invest up to 50% of its
total assets in zero-coupon securities issued by either the U.S. government
or U.S. companies.

Derivative Investments. In general terms, a derivative investment is an
investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying asset, interest rate or index. Options, futures,
mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities and "stripped"
securities are examples of derivatives each Fund can use.

o Credit Derivatives.  Either Fund may enter into credit default swaps, both
      (i) directly and (ii) indirectly in the form of a swap embedded within
      a structured note, to protect against the risk that a security will
      default. Each Fund pays a fee to enter into the trade and receives a
      fixed payment during the life of the swap.   If there is a credit
      event, a Fund either delivers the defaulted bond (if a Fund has taken
      the short position in the credit default swap) or pays the par amount
      of the defaulted bond (if a Fund has taken the long position in the
      credit default swap note). Risks of credit default swaps include the
      cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events.

o There are Special Risks in Using Derivative Investments. If the issuer of
      the derivative does not pay the amount due, a Fund can lose money on
      the investment. Also, the underlying security or investment on which
      the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, might not perform
      the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, a Fund's
      share prices could decline or a Fund could get less income than
      expected. Interest rate and stock market changes in the U.S. and abroad
      may also influence the performance of derivatives.  Some derivative
      investments held by a Fund may be illiquid. Each Fund has limits on the
      amount of particular types of derivatives it can hold. However, using
      derivatives can cause a Fund to lose money on its investment and/or
      increase the volatility of its share prices.

Hedging.  Each Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options,
swaps, and forward contracts.  These are all referred to as "hedging
instruments."  Neither Fund uses hedging instruments for speculative
purposes. Each Fund has limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not
required to use them in seeking its investment objective.

Each Fund could buy and sell options, futures and forward contracts for a
number of purposes. Some of these strategies would hedge each Fund's
portfolio against price fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as
buying futures and call options, would tend to increase each Fund's exposure
to the securities market. Each Fund may also try to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates by using hedging instruments.

There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. For example,
options trading involves the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio
turnover. If a covered call written by a Fund is exercised on an investment
that has increased in value, each Fund will be required to sell the
investment at the call price and will not be able to realize any profit if
the investment has increased in value above the call price.

If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judged market
conditions incorrectly, the hedge might fail and the strategy could reduce
each Fund's return. Each Fund could also experience losses if the prices of
its futures and options positions were not correlated with its other
investments or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid
market.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. Balanced Fund has entered into a Securities
Lending Agreement with JP Morgan Chase. Under that agreement portfolio
securities of Balanced Fund may be loaned to brokers, dealers and other
financial institutions.  The Securities Lending Agreement provides that loans
must be adequately collateralized and may be made only in conformity with
Balanced Fund's Securities Lending Guidelines, adopted by Balanced Fund's
Board of Trustees. The value of the securities loaned may not exceed 25% of
the value of Balanced Fund's net assets.

Convertible Securities. Many convertible securities are a form of debt
security, but the Manager regards some of them as "equity substitutes"
because of their feature allowing them to be converted into common stock.
Therefore, their credit ratings have less impact on the Manager's investment
decision than in the case of other debt securities. Disciplined Allocation
Fund's investments in convertible securities may include securities rated as
low as "B" by Moody's, S&P or Fitch or having comparable ratings by other
nationally recognized rating organizations (or, if they are unrated, having
comparable ratings assigned by the Manager and subject to each Fund's
limitation on investing in unrated securities as stated above). Those ratings
are below "investment grade" and the securities are subject to greater risk
of default by the issuer than investment-grade securities. Balanced Fund has
no restrictions on the grade of convertible securities in may invest in.

"When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. Disciplined Allocation
Fund can purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or
sell securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. Between the purchase and
settlement, no payment is made for the security and no interest accrues to
the buyer from the investment. There is a risk of loss to Disciplined
Allocation Fund if the value of the when-issued security declines prior to
the settlement date. No income accrues to Disciplined Allocation Fund on a
when-issued security until Disciplined Allocation Fund receives the security
on settlement of the trade.

Asset-Backed Securities. Disciplined Allocation Fund can buy asset-backed
securities, which are fractional interests in pools of loans collateralized
by the loans or other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts and
special purpose corporations that pass the income from the underlying pool to
the buyer of the security. These securities are subject to the risk of
default by the issuer as well as by the borrowers of the underlying loans in
the pool.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  Investments may be illiquid because they
do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or
dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. Restricted securities may
have terms that limit their resale to other investors or may require
registration under applicable securities laws before they may be sold
publicly. Each Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid or restricted securities. The Board can increase that limit to 15%.
Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified
institutional purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager
monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine
whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. A change in the securities held by the Funds is known as
"portfolio turnover." The Funds may engage in active and frequent short-term
trading to try to achieve their objective and may have a high portfolio
turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover creates
higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Funds (and may reduce
performance). However, most of the Funds' portfolio transactions are
principal trades that do not entail brokerage fees. If the Funds realize
capital gains when they sell their portfolio investments, they must generally
pay those gains out to shareholders, increasing their taxable distributions.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE AND INTERIM INVESTMENTS. In times of adverse or unstable
market, economic or political conditions, each Fund can invest up to 100% of
its assets in temporary investments that are inconsistent with each Fund's
principal investment strategies.  Generally, they would be short-term U.S.
government securities, high-grade commercial paper, bank obligations or
repurchase agreements. Each Fund can also hold these types of securities
pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or portfolio
securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent
each Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment
objective.

                     INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

      This is only a  summary  of the  material  terms  of the  Reorganization
Agreement.  You should  read the form of  Reorganization  Agreement,  which is
attached as Exhibit A.

How will the Reorganization be carried out?

      If the shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund approve the
Reorganization Agreement, the Reorganization will take place after various
conditions are satisfied by Disciplined Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund,
including delivery of certain documents. The Closing Date is presently
scheduled for on or about May 12, 2006 and the "Valuation Date" (which is the
business day preceding the Closing Date of the Reorganization) is presently
scheduled for on or about May 11, 2006.

      If the shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund vote to approve the
Reorganization Agreement, you will receive Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class N shares of Balanced Fund equal in value to the value as of the
Valuation Date of your shares of Disciplined Allocation Fund.  Disciplined
Allocation Fund will then be liquidated and its outstanding shares will be
cancelled. The stock transfer books of Disciplined Allocation Fund will be
permanently closed at the close of business on the Valuation Date.

      Shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund who vote their Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class N shares in favor of the Reorganization will be
electing in effect to redeem their shares of Disciplined Allocation Fund at
net asset value on the Valuation Date, after Disciplined Allocation Fund
subtracts a cash reserve, and reinvest the proceeds in Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class N shares of Balanced Fund at net asset value. The cash
reserve is that amount retained by Disciplined Allocation Fund, which is
deemed sufficient in the discretion of the Board of Disciplined Allocation
Fund for the payment of Disciplined Allocation Fund's outstanding debts,
taxes and expenses of liquidation. The cash reserve will consist of
approximately $159,000 in cash. Balanced Fund is not assuming any debts of
Disciplined Allocation Fund except debts for unsettled securities
transactions and outstanding dividend and redemption checks. Any debts paid
out of the cash reserve will be those debts, taxes or expenses of liquidation
incurred by Disciplined Allocation Fund on or before the Closing Date.
Disciplined Allocation Fund will recognize capital gains or losses on any
sales of portfolio securities made prior to the Reorganization. The sales of
portfolio securities contemplated in the Reorganization are anticipated to be
in the ordinary course of business of Disciplined Allocation Fund's
activities.

      Under the Reorganization Agreement, within one year after the Closing
Date, Disciplined Allocation Fund shall: (a) either pay or make provision for
all of its debts and taxes; and (b) either (i) transfer any remaining amount
of the Cash Reserve to Balanced Fund, if such remaining amount is not
material (as defined below) or (ii) distribute such remaining amount to the
shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund who were shareholders on the
Valuation Date. The remaining amount shall be deemed to be material if the
amount to be distributed, after deducting the estimated expenses of the
distribution, equals or exceeds one cent per share of the number of
Disciplined Allocation Fund shares outstanding on the Valuation Date. In
order to qualify for this rebate, it is not necessary for a shareholder of
Disciplined Allocation Fund to continue to hold Balanced Fund shares received
in the Reorganization. If the Cash Reserve is insufficient to satisfy any of
Disciplined Allocation Fund's liabilities, the Manager will assume
responsibility for any such unsatisfied liability. Within one year after the
Closing Date, Disciplined Allocation Fund will complete its liquidation.

      Under the Reorganization Agreement, either Disciplined Allocation Fund
or Balanced Fund may abandon and terminate the Reorganization Agreement for
any reason and there shall be no liability for damages or other recourse
available to the other Fund, provided, however, that in the event that one of
the Funds terminates the Reorganization Agreement without reasonable cause,
it shall, upon demand, reimburse the other Fund for all expenses, including
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred in connection with the
Reorganization Agreement.

      To the extent permitted by law, the Funds may agree to amend the
Reorganization Agreement without shareholder approval. They may also agree to
terminate and abandon the Reorganization at any time before or, to the extent
permitted by law, after the approval of shareholders of Disciplined
Allocation Fund.

Who will pay the expenses of the Reorganization?

      The cost of printing and mailing this Proxy will be borne by
Disciplined Allocation Fund and is estimated to be approximately $24,000. The
Funds will share equally the cost of the tax opinion. Any documents such as
existing prospectuses or annual reports that are included in the proxy
mailing or at a shareholder's request will be a cost of the Fund issuing the
document. Any other out-of-pocket expenses associated with the Reorganization
will be paid by the Funds in the amounts incurred by each. The approximate
cost of the Reorganization is $38,000 for Disciplined Allocation Fund and
$14,000 for Balanced Fund.

What are the tax consequences of the Reorganization?

      The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization
for federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Based on certain assumptions and
representations received from Disciplined Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund,
it is expected to be the opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP that; (i)
shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund will not recognize any gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of their
shares for shares of Balanced Fund; (ii) shareholders of Balanced Fund will
not recognize any gain or loss upon receipt of Disciplined Allocation Fund's
assets (iii) and the holding period of Balanced Fund shares received in that
exchange will include the period that Disciplined Allocation Fund shares were
held (provided such shares were held as a capital asset on the Closing Date).
Please see the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for more details.
      If the tax opinion is not received by the Closing Date, the Fund may
still pursue the Reorganization, pending re-solicitation of shareholders and
shareholder approval which would delay the reorganization by several months.
In addition, neither Fund is expected to recognize a gain or loss as a direct
result of the Reorganization. Although not likely, in the event such a tax
opinion is not received, the reorganization may not qualify as a tax-free
reorganization.

      Prior to the Valuation Date, Disciplined Allocation Fund may pay a
dividend which will have the effect of distributing to Disciplined Allocation
Fund's shareholders all of Disciplined Allocation Fund's investment company
taxable income, if any, for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing
Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of
its net capital gains, if any, realized in taxable years ending on or prior
to the Closing Date (after reduction for any available capital loss
carry-forward). As of Disciplined Allocation Fund's fiscal year ended October
31, 2005, the Fund had $5,050,942 of net capital loss carry-forward available
to offset any realized capital gains and thereby reduce the capital gains
distributions. Any such dividends will be included in the taxable income of
Disciplined Allocation Fund's shareholders as ordinary income and capital
gain, respectively.

      You will continue to be responsible for tracking the purchase cost and
holding period of your shares and should consult your tax advisor regarding
the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of your individual
circumstances. You should also consult your tax advisor as to state and local
and other tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization because this
discussion only relates to federal income tax consequences.

                        REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

Board Considerations

      At a meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees of Disciplined
Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund held December 15, 2005, the Board
considered whether to approve the proposed Reorganization and reviewed and
discussed with the Manager and the Board's independent legal counsel the
proposed Reorganization. Information with respect to the Funds' respective
investment objectives and policies, management fees, distribution fees and
other operating expenses, historical performance and asset size also was
considered by the Board.

      The Board reviewed information demonstrating that Disciplined
Allocation Fund is a significantly smaller fund with approximately $133.9
million in net assets as of September 29, 2005. In comparison, Balanced Fund
had approximately $921.4 million in net assets as of September 29, 2005. The
Board considered that Disciplined Allocation Fund has not seen any
significant influx of money into the Fund and the Manager does not expect the
assets of the Fund to grow substantially, which might result in decreased
fund operating expenses. The Board also considered that Disciplined
Allocation Fund's assets are unlikely to increase substantially in size in
the near future, and, as a result, its expense ratios would likely remain the
same as fixed expenses are borne by a relatively small fund. Economies of
scale realized by the larger, surviving Balanced Fund may benefit
shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund.

      At that meeting, the Board considered the fact that both Funds have
similar investment objectives and are managed by the same team of investment
professionals. Additionally, the Board considered that both Funds invest
primarily in stocks, corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and money
market instruments. Although there is no set allocation of assets among the
classes of securities either Fund buys, currently the Funds focus mainly in a
variety of equity and debt securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, as well as
money market instruments.

      The Board also considered that the procedures for purchases, exchanges
and redemptions of shares of both Funds are substantially similar and that
both Funds offer the same investor services and options.

      The Board also considered the terms and conditions of the
Reorganization, including that there would be no sales charge imposed in
effecting the Reorganization and that the Reorganization is expected to be a
tax-free reorganization. The Board concluded that Disciplined Allocation
Fund's participation in the transaction is in the best interests of
Disciplined Allocation Fund and that the Reorganization would not result in a
dilution of the interests of existing shareholders of Disciplined Allocation
Fund.

      After consideration of the above factors, and such other factors and
information as the Board of Disciplined Allocation Fund deemed relevant, the
Board, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined
in the Investment Company Act) of either Disciplined Allocation Fund or the
Manager (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the Reorganization
and the Reorganization Agreement and voted to recommend its approval by the
shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund. The Board also determined that
the Reorganization was in the best interests of Balanced Fund and its
shareholders and that no dilution would result to those shareholders.
Balanced Fund shareholders do not vote on the Reorganization. The Board on
behalf of Balanced Fund, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously
approved the Reorganization and the Reorganization Agreement.

      Neither Funds' Board members are required to attend the meeting nor do
they plan to attend the meeting.

      For the reasons discussed above, the Board, on behalf of Disciplined
Allocation Fund, recommends that you vote FOR the Reorganization Agreement.
If shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund do not approve the
Reorganization Agreement, the Reorganization will not take place.

What should I know about Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N Shares of
Balanced Fund?

      Upon consummation of the Reorganization, Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class N shares of Balanced Fund will be distributed to shareholders of Class
A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Disciplined Allocation Fund,
respectively, in connection with the Reorganization. The shares of Balanced
Fund will be recorded electronically in each shareholder's account. Balanced
Fund will then send a confirmation to each shareholder. Shareholders of
Disciplined Allocation Fund holding certificates representing their shares
will not be required to surrender their certificates in connection with the
reorganization. However, former shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund
whose shares are represented by outstanding share certificates will not be
allowed to redeem or exchange shares of Balanced Fund they receive in the
Reorganization until the exchanged Disciplined Allocation Fund certificates
have been returned to the Transfer Agent.

      Each share will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued, will have
no preemptive or conversion rights and will be transferable on the books of
Balanced Fund. Balanced Fund's Declaration of Trust contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund's obligations,
and provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of its
property for any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations.
Neither Fund permits cumulative voting.

WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS OF THE FUNDS?

      Both Disciplined Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund have certain
additional investment restrictions that, together with their investment
objectives, are fundamental policies, changeable only by shareholder
approval. Generally, these investment restrictions are similar between the
Funds.  Please see the Statement of Additional Information for each Fund for
descriptions of those investment restrictions, which are incorporated by
reference into the Statement of Additional Information dated March 1, 2006
related to this Reorganization.

OTHER COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE FUNDS

      The description of certain other key features of the Funds below is
supplemented by Balanced Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information, which are incorporated by reference.

Management of the Funds

      Each Fund is governed by the same Board of Trustees, which is
responsible for protecting the interests of each Fund's shareholders under
either Maryland law or Massachusetts law, as applicable, and other applicable
laws.  For a listing of the Balanced Fund's Board of Trustees and
biographical information, please refer to the Statement of Additional
Information to this Prospectus and Proxy Statement.

Investment Management and Fees

      The day-to-day management of the business and affairs of each Fund is
the responsibility of the Manager.  Pursuant to each Fund's investment
advisory agreement, the Manager acts as the investment advisor for both
Funds, manages the assets of both Funds and makes their respective investment
decisions.  The Manager employs the Funds' portfolio managers.  Christopher
Leavy and Emmanuel Ferreira, supported by other members of the Manager's
value portfolio team are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management
of the equity portion of Disciplined Allocation Fund's investments. Angelo
Manioudakis, supported by other members of the Manager's high grade
fixed-income team are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of
the fixed-income portion of Disciplined Allocation Fund's investments.
Christopher Leavy and Emmanuel Ferreira, supported by other members of the
Manager's value portfolio team are primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the equity portion of Balanced Fund's investments. Angelo
Manioudakis, supported by other members of the Manager's high grade
fixed-income team are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of
the fixed-income portion of Balanced Fund's investments.

      Both Funds obtain investment management services from the Manager
according to the terms of management agreements that are substantially
similar although Balanced Fund's management fee rates were higher than those
of Disciplined Allocation Fund during the Funds' last completed fiscal year.
The chart below shows the current contractual management fee schedule for
each of the Funds.  While Disciplined Allocation Fund has a lower management
fee than Balanced Fund, the total operating expenses for Balanced Fund are
lower than Disciplined Allocation Fund.

---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Based on average annual net assets of the respective Fund.

      The advisory agreements require the Manager, at its expense, to provide
the Funds with adequate office space, facilities and equipment. The
agreements also require the Manager to provide and supervise the activities
of all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective
administration for the Funds. Those responsibilities include the compilation
and maintenance of records with respect to their operations, the preparation
and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and
registration statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Funds.

      Each Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the
advisory agreement. The advisory agreements list examples of expenses paid by
each Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, fees to Independent Trustees, legal and audit expenses,
custodian bank and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain
printing and registration costs, and non-recurring expenses, including
litigation costs.

      Both investment advisory agreements generally provide 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 sustained by reason of good faith errors or omissions in connection with
any matters to which the agreement(s) relate.

      The Manager is controlled by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding
company owned in part by senior officers of the Manager and ultimately
controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a mutual life
insurance company that also advises pension plans and investment companies.
The Manager has been an investment advisor since January 1960. The Manager
(including subsidiaries and an affiliate) managed more than $200 billion in
assets as of December 31, 2005, including other Oppenheimer funds with more
than 6 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at 225 Liberty
Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Distribution Services

      OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the
principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of shares of the Funds,
but is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares.  Both Funds have
adopted a Service Plan and Agreement under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment
Company Act for their Class A shares. The Service Plan provides for the
reimbursement to the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred in
connection with the services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares of
the respective Funds. Under the Class A Service Plans, reimbursement is made
at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class A shares of
the respective Funds. The Distributor currently uses the fees it receives
from the Funds to pay dealers, brokers and other financial institutions (they
are referred to as "recipients") for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers that hold Class A
shares of the respective Funds.

      Both Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans and Agreements
under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act for Class B, Class C and Class
N shares. These plans compensate the Distributor for its services and costs
in connection with the distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares
and for servicing shareholder accounts. Under the plans, the Funds pay the
Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class
C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service
fee of 0.25% per year under the Class B, Class C and Class N plans.

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
Class C expenses by 1.0% and increase Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net
assets per year of the respective class. Because these fees are paid out of
the Funds' assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase
the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales
charges.

      The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for
providing personal services for accounts that hold Class B, Class C or Class
N shares. The Distributor normally pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in
advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the dealer. After the
shares have been held for a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to
dealers on a periodic basis.

      The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, also may pay
 dealers or other financial intermediaries and service providers for
 distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. These payments are
 made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources, including
 from the profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from a
 Fund. These cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms
 having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor. These
 payments are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or
 transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by a Fund to these
 financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to these
 firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. These payments by the
 Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the Pro
 Forma Fee Tables contained in this Prospectus and Proxy Statement because
 they are not paid by either Fund.

     "Financial intermediaries" are firms that offer and sell Fund shares to
their clients, or provide shareholder services to each Fund, or both, and
receive compensation for doing so. Your securities dealer or financial
adviser, for example, is a financial intermediary, and there are other types
of financial intermediaries that receive payments relating to the sale or
servicing of each Fund's shares. In addition to dealers, the financial
intermediaries that may receive payments include sponsors of fund
"supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors
of college and retirement savings programs, banks and trust companies
offering products that hold fund shares, and insurance companies that offer
variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

     In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be
categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for
distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are
often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made
on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that dealer, the average
net assets of a Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts
of that dealer and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution
services provided, or sales support fees. In some circumstances, revenue
sharing payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial
intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of a Fund or
other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an
intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing
efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for
preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide
representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the
intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds
of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may
reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or
training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of
the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about
Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the
Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of a Fund
or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect
portfolio transactions for the funds.

     Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing
payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of
services provided by the intermediary, sales of fund shares, the redemption
rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of
Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness
of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and
training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the
Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the
intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services
provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship
with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines
for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement.
To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related
payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer
funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the
Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other
fees they receive with respect to those assets.

     Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the
Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them
for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer
agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus
accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements,
account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may
also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund
shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees
include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors,
banks and trust companies, and others. These fees may be used by the service
provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to
them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans.

      The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about
revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor.
Your dealer may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed
in this Prospectus and Proxy Statement. You should ask your dealer or
financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from
the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or
expenses it charges.

Transfer Agency and Custody Services

      Both Funds receive shareholder accounting and other clerical services
from OppenheimerFunds Services, a division of the Manager, in its capacity as
transfer agent and dividend paying agent. It acts on an annual per-account
fee basis for both Funds. The terms of the transfer agency agreement for both
Funds, and of a voluntary undertaking to limit transfer agent fees (to 0.35%
per fiscal year for each class of both Funds) are substantially similar.
Citibank, N.A., located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York, 10013,
and JP Morgan Chase Bank, located at 4 Chase Metro Tech Center, Brooklyn, NY
11245, respectively, act as custodian of the securities and other assets of
Disciplined Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund, respectively.

Shareholder Rights

      Disciplined Allocation Fund is a series of Oppenheimer Series Fund,
Inc. and is organized as a Maryland corporation, Balanced Fund is organized
as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds are not required to, and do not,
hold annual meetings of shareholders and have no current intention to hold
such meetings, except as required by the Investment Company Act.

Under the Investment Company Act, the Funds are required to hold a
shareholder meeting if, among other reasons, the numbers of
Directors/Trustees elected by shareholders is less than a majority of the
total number of Directors/Trustees, or if they seek to change a fundamental
investment policy. The Trustees of Balanced Fund 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.

                              VOTING INFORMATION

How do I vote?

      Please take a few moments to complete your proxy ballot promptly. You
may vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy ballot(s)
and mailing the proxy ballot(s) in the postage paid envelope provided.  You
also may vote your shares by telephone or via the internet by following the
instructions on the attached proxy ballot(s) and accompanying materials.  You
may cast your vote by attending the Meeting in person if you are a record
owner.

      If you need assistance, have any questions regarding the Proposal or
need a replacement proxy ballot, you may contact us toll-free at
1-800-225-5677 (1-800-CALL-OPP).  Any proxy given by a shareholder, whether
in writing, by telephone or via the internet, is revocable as described below
under the paragraph titled "Revoking a Proxy".

      If you simply sign and date the proxy but give no voting instructions,
your shares will be voted in favor of the Reorganization Agreement.

Telephone Voting

      Please have the proxy ballot in hand and call the number on the
enclosed materials and follow the instructions.  After you provide your
voting instructions, those instructions will be read back to you and you must
confirm your voting instructions before ending the telephone call.  The
voting procedures used in connection with telephone voting are designed to
reasonably authenticate the identity of shareholders, to permit shareholders
to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions
and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

      As the Special Meeting date approaches, certain shareholders may
receive telephone calls from a representative of the solicitation firm (if
applicable) if their vote has not yet been received.  Authorization to permit
the solicitation firm to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic
instructions from shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund.  Proxies that
are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with the
procedures discussed herein.  These procedures have been designed to
reasonably ensure that the identity of the shareholder providing voting
instructions is accurately determined and that the voting instructions of the
shareholder are accurately recorded.

      In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the solicitation
firm representative is required to ask for each shareholder's full name,
address, title (if the shareholder is authorized to act on behalf of an
entity, such as a corporation) and to confirm that the shareholder has
received the Proxy Statement and ballot.  If the information solicited agrees
with the information provided to the solicitation firm, the solicitation firm
representative has the responsibility to explain the process, read the
proposal listed on the proxy ballot, and ask for the shareholder's
instructions on such proposal.  The solicitation firm representative,
although he or she is permitted to answer questions about the process, is not
permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote.  The solicitation firm
representative may read any recommendation set forth in the Proxy Statement.
The solicitation firm representative will record the shareholder's
instructions.  Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a confirmation
of his or her vote asking the shareholder to call the solicitation firm
immediately if his or her instructions are not correctly reflected in the
confirmation.  For additional information, see also the section below titled
"Solicitation of Proxies".

Internet Voting

      You also may vote over the internet by following the instructions in
the enclosed materials.  You will be prompted to enter the control number on
the enclosed proxy ballot. Follow the instructions on the screen, using your
proxy ballot as a guide.

Who is entitled to vote and how are votes counted?

      Shareholders of record of Disciplined Allocation Fund at the close of
business on January 20, 2006 (the "record date") will be entitled to vote at
the Meeting. On January 20, 2006, there were 8,834,073.73 outstanding shares
of Disciplined Allocation Fund, consisting of 7,282,124.579 Class A shares,
824,379.304 Class B shares, 603,416.760 Class C shares and 124,153.087 Class
N shares.  Each shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each full share,
and a fractional vote for each fractional share of Disciplined Allocation
Fund held on the Record Date.

      The individuals named as proxies on the proxy ballots (or their
substitutes) will vote according to your directions if your proxy ballot is
received and properly executed, or in accordance with the instructions you
provide if you vote by telephone, internet or mail.  You may direct the proxy
holders to vote your shares on the proposal by checking the appropriate box
"FOR" or "AGAINST", or instruct them not to vote those shares on the proposal
by checking the "ABSTAIN" box.

Quorum and Required Vote

The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of Disciplined Allocation
Fund's shares outstanding and entitled to vote constitutes a quorum.  Shares
whose proxies reflect an abstention on the proposal are counted as shares
present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether the required
quorum of shares exists for the Proposal.  However, because of the need to
obtain a vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote,
abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "against" the Proposal.  In
the absence of a quorum, the shareholders present or represented by proxy and
entitled to vote thereat have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to
time without further notice.

      The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Disciplined Allocation Fund outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to
approve the Reorganization Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby. Balanced Fund shareholders do not vote on the Reorganization.

      In absence of a quorum or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes
to approve the Proposal are not received by the date of the Meeting, the
persons named in the enclosed proxy (or their substitutes) may propose and
approve one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies.  All such adjournments will require the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the session
of the Meeting to be adjourned.  The persons named as proxies on the proxy
ballots (or their substitutes) will vote the Shares present in person or by
proxy (including broker non-votes and abstentions) in favor of such an
adjournment if they determine additional solicitation is warranted and in the
interests of the Fund's shareholders.

Solicitation of Proxies

      Broker-dealer firms, banks, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries
may be required to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of
the shares of record on behalf of Disciplined Allocation Fund and to obtain
authorization for the execution of proxies.  For those services, they will be
reimbursed by the Fund for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the proxy solicitation to the extent the Fund would have directly borne
those expenses.

      In addition to solicitations by mail, solicitations may be conducted by
telephone or email including by a proxy solicitation firm hired at
Disciplined Allocation Fund's expense. If a proxy solicitation firm is hired,
it is anticipated that the cost to Disciplined Allocation Fund of engaging a
proxy solicitation firm would not exceed $7,500, plus the additional costs
which would be incurred in connection with contacting those shareholders who
have not voted, in the event of a need for re-solicitation of votes.
Currently, if the Manager determines to retain the services of a proxy
solicitation firm on behalf of the Fund, the Manager anticipates retaining
Computershare Fund Services.  Any proxy solicitation firm engaged by the
Fund, among other things, will be: (i) required to maintain the
confidentiality of all shareholder information; (ii) prohibited from selling
or otherwise disclosing shareholder information to any third party; and (iii)
required to comply with applicable telemarketing laws.

Voting By Broker-Dealers

      Shares owned of record by broker-dealers for the benefit of their
customers ("street account shares") will be voted by the broker-dealer based
on instructions received from its customers. If no instructions are received,
the broker-dealer does not have discretionary power ("broker non-vote") to
vote such street account shares on the Proposal under applicable stock
exchange rules.  This "broker non-vote" occurs when a proxy is received from
a broker and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote the
shares on that matter.  Broker non-votes will not be counted as present nor
entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum nor will they be
counted as votes "for" or "against" the Proposal.  Beneficial owners of
street account shares cannot vote at the meeting.  Only record owners may
vote at the meeting.

Voting by the Trustee for OppenheimerFunds-Sponsored Retirement Plans

      Shares held in OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement accounts for which
votes are not received as of the last business day before the Meeting Date,
will be voted by the trustee for such accounts in the same proportion as
Shares for which voting instructions from the Fund's other shareholders have
been timely received.

Revoking a Proxy

      You may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is
exercised by: (1) delivering a written notice to the Fund expressly revoking
your proxy, (2) signing and sending to the Fund a later-dated proxy, (3)
telephone or internet or (4) attending the Meeting and casting your votes in
person if you are a record owner. Please be advised that the deadline for
revoking your proxy by telephone or the internet is 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time,
on the last business day before the Meeting.

What other matters will be voted upon at the Meeting?

      The Board of Directors of Disciplined Allocation Fund does not intend
to bring any matters before the Meeting other than those described in this
Prospectus and Proxy Statement. Neither the Board nor the Manager is aware of
any other matters to be brought before the Meeting by others. Matters not
known at the time of the solicitation may come before the Meeting.  The proxy
as solicited confers discretionary authority with respect to such matters
that might properly come before the Meeting, including any adjournment or
adjournments thereof, and it is the intention of the persons named as
attorneys-in-fact in the proxy (or their substitutes) to vote the proxy in
accordance with their judgment on such matters.

Shareholder Proposals

      The Funds are not required and do not intend to hold shareholder
meetings on a regular basis.  Special meetings of shareholders may be called
from time to time by either a Fund or the shareholders (for certain matters
and under special conditions described in the Funds' Statements of Additional
Information).  Under the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals that
meet certain conditions may be included in a fund's proxy statement for a
particular meeting.  Those rules currently require that for future meetings,
the shareholder must be a record or beneficial owner of Fund shares either
(i) with a value of at least $2,000 or (ii) in an amount representing at
least 1% of the Fund's securities to be voted, at the time the proposal is
submitted and for one year prior thereto, and must continue to own such
shares through the date on which the meeting is held.  Another requirement
relates to the timely receipt by a Fund of any such proposal. Under those
rules, a proposal must have been submitted a reasonable time before the Fund
began to print and mail this Proxy Statement in order to be included in this
Proxy Statement.  A proposal submitted for inclusion in a Fund's proxy
material for the next special meeting after the meeting to which this Proxy
Statement relates must be received by the Fund a reasonable time before the
Fund begins to print and mail the proxy materials for that meeting. Notice of
shareholder proposals to be presented at the Meeting must have been received
within a reasonable time before the Fund began to mail this Proxy Statement.
The fact that the Fund receives a proposal from a qualified shareholder in a
timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in the proxy materials because
there are other requirements under the proxy rules for such inclusion.

Shareholder Communications to the Board

      Shareholders who desire to communicate generally with the Board should
address their correspondence to the Board of Directors/Trustees of the
applicable Fund and may submit their correspondence by mail to the Fund at
6803 South Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112, attention Secretary of the Fund;
and if the correspondence is intended for a particular Director/Trustee, the
shareholder should so indicate.

Reports to Shareholders and Financial Statements

      To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Funds
mail only one copy of each report to shareholders having the same last name
and address on the Funds' records.  The consolidation of these mailings,
called householding, benefits the Funds through reduced mailing expenses.

      If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials or request
householding in the future, you may call the transfer agent at
1.800.647.7374.  You may also notify the transfer agent in writing at 6803
South Tucson Way, Centennial, Colorado 80112.  Individual copies of
prospectuses and reports will be sent to you within 30 days after the
transfer agent receives your request to stop householding.

Pending Litigation

      A consolidated amended complaint has been filed as putative derivative
and class actions against the Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent, as
well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively the "funds") including the
Funds, 30 present and former Directors or Trustees and 8 present and former
officers of certain of the funds. This complaint, initially filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and
amended on March 4, 2005, consolidates into a single action and amends six
individual previously-filed putative derivative and class action complaints.
Like those prior complaints, the complaint alleges 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. Also, like those
prior complaints, the complaint further alleges that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the officers
breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act and at common law.  The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages, rescission of the funds' investment advisory
agreements, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees
and litigation expenses.

       The defendants believe the claims asserted in these lawsuits to be
without merit, and intend to defend the suits vigorously. The Manager and the
Distributor do not believe that the pending actions are likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their
respective investment advisory or distribution agreements with the Funds.

Principal Shareholders

      As of January 31, 2006, the officers and Directors of Disciplined
Allocation Fund as a group and of Balanced Fund as a group, owned less than
1% of the outstanding voting shares of any class of their respective Fund. As
of January 31, 2006, the only persons who owned of record or were known by
Disciplined Allocation Fund or Balanced Fund to own beneficially 5% or more
of any class of the outstanding shares of that respective Fund are listed in
Exhibit B.

                     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

      AGREEMENT  AND  PLAN OF  REORGANIZATION  (the  "Agreement")  dated as of
December 15, 2005 by and between  Oppenheimer  Disciplined  Allocation Fund, a
series of Oppenheimer  Series Fund, Inc.  ("Disciplined  Allocation  Fund"), a
Maryland  corporation  and  Oppenheimer  Balanced Fund  ("Balanced  Fund"),  a
Massachusetts business trust.

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS,  the  parties are each  open-end  investment  companies  of the
management type; and

      WHEREAS,  the parties  hereto  desire to provide for the  reorganization
pursuant  to  Section  368(a)(1)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code"),  of Disciplined  Allocation Fund through the acquisition
by Balanced Fund of substantially all of the assets of Disciplined  Allocation
Fund in exchange for the voting  shares of beneficial  interest  ("shares") of
Class  A,  Class  B,  Class C and  Class N  shares  of  Balanced  Fund and the
assumption by Balanced Fund of certain  liabilities of Disciplined  Allocation
Fund,  which Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Balanced Fund are
to be distributed by Disciplined  Allocation Fund pro rata to its shareholders
in  complete   liquidation  of  Disciplined   Allocation   Fund  and  complete
cancellation of its shares;

      NOW,   THEREFORE,   in  consideration  of  the  mutual  promises  herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

   1.       The  parties  hereto  hereby  adopt  this  Agreement  and  Plan of
Reorganization (the "Agreement")  pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Code as
follows:  The reorganization  will be comprised of the acquisition by Balanced
Fund of  substantially  all of the assets of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund in
exchange  for Class A,  Class B, Class C and Class N shares of  Balanced  Fund
and the  assumption by Balanced  Fund of certain  liabilities  of  Disciplined
Allocation Fund,  followed by the distribution of such Class A, Class B, Class
C and Class N shares of  Balanced  Fund to the Class A,  Class B,  Class C and
Class N  shareholders  of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund in exchange for their
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Disciplined  Allocation  Fund,
all upon and subject to the terms of the Agreement hereinafter set forth.

      The  share  transfer  books  of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  will  be
permanently  closed  at the  close  of  business  on the  Valuation  Date  (as
hereinafter  defined) and only redemption  requests received in proper form on
or prior to the close of business on the Valuation  Date shall be fulfilled by
Disciplined  Allocation  Fund;  redemption  requests  received by  Disciplined
Allocation  Fund  after  that  date  shall  be  treated  as  requests  for the
redemption  of  the  shares  of  Balanced  Fund  to  be   distributed  to  the
shareholder in question as provided in Section 5 hereof.

   2. On the  Closing  Date (as  hereinafter  defined),  all of the  assets of
Disciplined  Allocation Fund on that date, excluding a cash reserve (the "cash
reserve") to be retained by  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  sufficient  in its
discretion  for the payment of the expenses of Disciplined  Allocation  Fund's
dissolution and its liabilities,  but not in excess of the amount contemplated
by Section 10E,  shall be delivered as provided in Section 8 to Balanced Fund,
in exchange for and against  delivery to  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund on the
Closing  Date of a number of Class A,  Class B,  Class C and Class N shares of
Balanced  Fund,  having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the
assets of Disciplined Allocation Fund so transferred and delivered.

   3. The net asset  value of Class A,  Class B, Class C and Class N shares of
Balanced Fund and the value of the assets of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund to
be  transferred  shall in each case be  determined as of the close of business
of The New York Stock Exchange on the Valuation  Date. The  computation of the
net  asset  value of the  Class  A,  Class B,  Class C and  Class N shares  of
Balanced  Fund  and the  Class  A,  Class B,  Class C and  Class N  shares  of
Disciplined  Allocation Fund shall be done in the manner used by Balanced Fund
and Disciplined Allocation Fund, respectively,  in the computation of such net
asset  value  per  share as set forth in their  respective  prospectuses.  The
methods  used by  Balanced  Fund in such  computation  shall be applied to the
valuation of the assets of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund to be transferred to
Balanced Fund.

      Disciplined  Allocation Fund shall declare and pay, immediately prior to
the Valuation Date, a dividend or dividends which,  together with all previous
such  dividends,   shall  have  the  effect  of  distributing  to  Disciplined
Allocation   Fund's   shareholders  all  of  Disciplined   Allocation   Fund's
investment  company taxable income for taxable years ending on or prior to the
Closing Date (computed  without  regard to any dividends  paid) and all of its
net capital gain, if any,  realized in taxable years ending on or prior to the
Closing Date (after reduction for any capital loss carry-forward).

   4. The   closing   (the   "Closing")   shall   be   at   the   offices   of
OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  (the  "Agent"),  6803 S Tucson  Way,  Centennial,  CO
80112,  on such time or such other place as the parties  may  designate  or as
provided  below (the "Closing  Date").  The business day preceding the Closing
Date is herein referred to as the "Valuation Date."

      In the event that on the  Valuation  Date either party has,  pursuant to
the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended  (the  "Act"),  or any rule,
regulation  or order  thereunder,  suspended  the  redemption of its shares or
postponed  payment  therefore,  the Closing Date shall be postponed  until the
first  business  day  after  the date  when  both  parties  have  ceased  such
suspension or postponement;  provided,  however, that if such suspension shall
continue  for a period of 60 days beyond the  Valuation  Date,  then the other
party to the Agreement  shall be permitted to terminate the Agreement  without
liability to either party for such termination.

   5. In  conjunction  with the  Closing,  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund shall
distribute on a pro rata basis to the  shareholders of Disciplined  Allocation
Fund as of the Valuation  Date Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares of
Balanced Fund received by Disciplined  Allocation  Fund on the Closing Date in
exchange  for  the  assets  of   Disciplined   Allocation   Fund  in  complete
liquidation   of  Disciplined   Allocation   Fund;  for  the  purpose  of  the
distribution  by Disciplined  Allocation Fund of Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class  N  shares  of   Balanced   Fund  to   Disciplined   Allocation   Fund's
shareholders,  Balanced  Fund will promptly  cause its transfer  agent to: (a)
credit an  appropriate  number of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares
of  Balanced  Fund on the books of  Balanced  Fund to each  Class A,  Class B,
Class C and Class N shareholder of Disciplined  Allocation  Fund in accordance
with  a  list  (the  "Shareholder   List")  of  Disciplined   Allocation  Fund
shareholders  received from  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund; and (b) confirm an
appropriate  number  of  Class  A,  Class B,  Class C and  Class N  shares  of
Balanced  Fund to each Class A, Class B,  Class C and Class N  shareholder  of
Disciplined Allocation Fund.

      The Shareholder List shall indicate,  as of the close of business on the
Valuation  Date,  the name and  address  of each  shareholder  of  Disciplined
Allocation Fund, indicating his or her share balance.  Disciplined  Allocation
Fund agrees to supply the  Shareholder  List to  Balanced  Fund not later than
the  Closing  Date.   Shareholders  of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  holding
certificates  representing  their  shares  shall not be required to  surrender
their  certificates  to anyone in connection  with the  reorganization.  After
the Closing  Date,  however,  it will be necessary  for such  shareholders  to
surrender  their  certificates  in order to  redeem,  transfer  or pledge  the
shares of Balanced Fund which they received.

   6. Within one year after the  Closing  Date,  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund
shall (a) either pay or make  provision for payment of all of its  liabilities
and taxes,  and (b)  either  (i)  transfer  any  remaining  amount of the cash
reserve  to  Balanced  Fund,  if such  remaining  amount  (as  reduced  by the
estimated  cost  of  distributing  it to  shareholders)  is not  material  (as
defined below) or (ii)  distribute such remaining  amount to the  shareholders
of Disciplined  Allocation Fund on the Valuation  Date. Such remaining  amount
shall  be  deemed  to be  material  if the  amount  to be  distributed,  after
deduction of the  estimated  expenses of the  distribution,  equals or exceeds
one  cent  per  share  of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  outstanding  on  the
Valuation Date.

   7. Prior to the  Closing  Date,  there  shall be  coordination  between the
parties  as to  their  respective  portfolios  so  that,  after  the  Closing,
Balanced Fund will be in compliance  with all of its  investment  policies and
restrictions.  At the Closing,  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund shall deliver to
Balanced Fund two copies of a list setting forth the securities  then owned by
Disciplined   Allocation  Fund.   Promptly  after  the  Closing,   Disciplined
Allocation  Fund  shall  provide  Balanced  Fund  a  list  setting  forth  the
respective federal income tax bases thereof.

   8. Portfolio  securities or written evidence acceptable to Balanced Fund of
record  ownership  thereof by The  Depository  Trust  Company  or through  the
Federal  Reserve  Book  Entry  System  or any  other  depository  approved  by
Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  pursuant to Rule 17f-4 and Rule 17f-5 under the
Act shall be endorsed and delivered,  or  transferred by appropriate  transfer
or assignment  documents,  by Disciplined  Allocation Fund on the Closing Date
to Balanced Fund, or at its direction,  to its custodian  bank, in proper form
for  transfer in such  condition as to  constitute  good  delivery  thereof in
accordance  with  the  custom  of  brokers  and  shall be  accompanied  by all
necessary  state transfer  stamps,  if any. The cash delivered shall be in the
form of  certified  or bank  cashiers'  checks or by bank  wire or  intra-bank
transfer  payable to the order of  Balanced  Fund for the  account of Balanced
Fund.  Class  A,  Class  B,  Class  C and  Class N  shares  of  Balanced  Fund
representing  the  number of Class A,  Class B,  Class C and Class N shares of
Balanced Fund being  delivered  against the assets of  Disciplined  Allocation
Fund,  registered  in the  name  of  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund,  shall  be
transferred to Disciplined  Allocation  Fund on the Closing Date.  Such shares
shall   thereupon  be  assigned  by   Disciplined   Allocation   Fund  to  its
shareholders  so that  the  shares  of  Balanced  Fund may be  distributed  as
provided in Section 5.

      If, at the Closing Date,  Disciplined  Allocation Fund is unable to make
delivery  under  this  Section  8 to  Balanced  Fund  of any of its  portfolio
securities  or cash for the reason that any of such  securities  purchased  by
Disciplined  Allocation  Fund,  or the cash  proceeds  of a sale of  portfolio
securities,  prior to the Closing  Date have not yet been  delivered  to it or
Disciplined  Allocation  Fund's custodian,  then the delivery  requirements of
this Section 8 with  respect to said  undelivered  securities  or cash will be
waived and Disciplined  Allocation Fund will deliver to Balanced Fund by or on
the Closing Date with respect to said undelivered  securities or cash executed
copies of an  agreement  or  agreements  of  assignment  in a form  reasonably
satisfactory to Balanced Fund,  together with such other documents,  including
a due bill or due bills and brokers'  confirmation  slips as may reasonably be
required by Balanced Fund.

   9. Balanced  Fund shall not assume the  liabilities  (except for  portfolio
securities  purchased  which have not settled and for  shareholder  redemption
and  dividend  checks   outstanding)  of  Disciplined   Allocation  Fund,  but
Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  will,  nevertheless,  use its best  efforts  to
discharge  all  known  liabilities,  so far as may be  possible,  prior to the
Closing  Date.  The  cost of  printing  and  mailing  the  proxies  and  proxy
statements  will  be  borne  by  Disciplined   Allocation  Fund.   Disciplined
Allocation  Fund and Balanced  Fund will share  equally in the cost of the tax
opinion.  Any documents such as existing  prospectuses  or annual reports that
are  included  in  that  mailing  will  be a cost  of  the  Fund  issuing  the
document.  Any other  out-of-pocket  expenses of Balanced Fund and Disciplined
Allocation  Fund  associated  with  this   reorganization,   including  legal,
accounting  and  transfer  agent  expenses,   will  be  borne  by  Disciplined
Allocation  Fund and Balanced Fund,  respectively,  in the amounts so incurred
by each.

on the part of the remaining  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  shareholders,  to
redeem,  sell,  exchange or  otherwise  dispose of a number of  Balanced  Fund

that the  information  concerning it in the Prospectus and Proxy Statement and
Prospectus will not as of its date contain any untrue  statement of a material
fact or omit to state a fact  necessary to make the  statements  concerning it
therein not  misleading and that the financial  statements  concerning it will
present the  information  shown fairly in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles  applied on a basis consistent with the preceding year.
Each party also  represents  and  warrants to the other that the  Agreement is

which it is a party.  Balanced Fund hereby  represents  to and covenants  with
Disciplined  Allocation Fund that, if the  reorganization  becomes  effective,

agrees that it will use its best efforts to have such  Registration  Statement
declared  effective  and to supply  such  information  concerning  itself  for
inclusion  in the  Proxy  Statement  and  Prospectus  as may be  necessary  or
desirable  in this  connection.  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund  covenants  and
agrees to  liquidate  under the laws of the State of Maryland,  following  the
Closing,  and,  upon Closing,  to cause the  cancellation  of its  outstanding
shares.

  16.  The  obligations of the parties shall be subject to the right of either
party to abandon and  terminate  the  Agreement for any reason and there shall
be no  liability  for damages or other  recourse  available  to a party not so
terminating this Agreement,  provided, however, that in the event that a party
shall  terminate  this  Agreement  without  reasonable  cause,  the  party  so

Agreement.   The  rights  and  obligations  of  each  party  pursuant  to  the
Agreement shall not be assignable.

into the Agreement,  which constitutes the entire contract between the parties
hereto.  No amendment or modification  hereof shall be of any force and effect
unless in writing  and signed by the  parties  and no party shall be deemed to
have waived any provision  herein for its benefit unless it executes a written
acknowledgment of such waiver.

  19. Balanced  Fund   understands   that  the   obligations   of  Disciplined
Allocation  Fund under the  Agreement  are not  binding  upon any  Director or
shareholder  of  Disciplined   Allocation  Fund  personally,   but  bind  only
Disciplined Allocation Fund and Disciplined Allocation Fund's property.

  20. Disciplined   Allocation  Fund   understands  that  the  obligations  of
Balanced  Fund  under the  Agreement  are not  binding  upon any  director  or
shareholder  of Balanced  Fund  personally,  but bind only  Balanced  Fund and
Balanced Fund's property.  Disciplined  Allocation Fund represents that it has
notice  of the  provisions  of the  Declaration  of  Trust  of  Balanced  Fund
disclaiming  shareholder  and trustee  liability  for acts or  obligations  of
Balanced Fund.

      IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the parties has caused the Agreement to be
executed and attested by its officers  thereunto  duly  authorized on the date
first set forth above.

FOOTNOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS

1.    Non-income producing security.

2.    A sufficient amount of liquid assets has been designated to cover
      outstanding written call options, as follows:

3.    Partial or fully-loaned security. Loaned securities only apply to
      Oppenheimer Balanced Fund.

4.    Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of
      December 31, 2005 was $260,752, $606,419 (Combined $867,171), which
      represents 0.03%, 0.46% (Combined 0.08%) of the Fund's net assets.

5.    Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate
      security.


6.    Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
      registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These
      securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established
      by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $12,424,033 or 1.35%,
      $1,822,630 or 1.39% (Combined $14,246,663 or 1.36%) of the Fund's net
      assets as of December 31, 2005.

7.    When-issued security or forward commitment to be delivered and settled
      after December 31, 2005.

8.    Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest
      payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities
      typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed
      income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The
      principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on
      which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is
      typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional
      mortgage -backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). These
      securities amount to $12,719,828 or 1.39%, $1,835,519 or 1.40% (Combined
      $14,555,347 or 1.39%) of the Fund's net assets as of December 31, 2005.

9.    Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal
      payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these
      securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment
      rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than
      that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. These securities amount
      to $581,471 or 0.06%, $89,465 or 0.07% (Combined $671,206 or 0.06%) of the
      Fund's net assets as of December 31, 2005.

10.   Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.

11.   All or a portion of the security is held in collateralized accounts to
      cover initial margin requirements on open futures sales contracts. The
      aggregate market value of such securities is $1,737,694, $239,918
      (Combined $1,977,612).

12.   This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and
      contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest.

13.   Issue is in default. Non-income producing.

14.   Interest or dividend is paid-in-kind.

15.   The security has been segregated to satisfy the forward commitment to
      return the cash collateral received in securities lending transactions
      upon the borrower's return of the securities loaned.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF COMBINATION:

      On December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of Disciplined Allocation
Fund and the Board of Trustees of Balanced Fund approved a proposed Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization ("Reorganization"). The Reorganization
contemplates the transfer of substantially all the assets of Oppenheimer
Disciplined Allocation Fund to Oppenheimer Balanced Fund and the assumption
by Balanced Fund of certain liabilities of Disciplined Allocation Fund in
exchange for shares of Balance Fund equal in value to the value as of the
Valuation Date of the corresponding shares of Disciplined Allocation Fund.
The Reorganization provides for the complete liquidation of Disciplined
Allocation Fund.  The Reorganization is subject to approval by shareholders
of Disciplined Allocation Fund. A special meeting of shareholders of
Disciplined Allocation Fund is scheduled for April 20, 2006.

      The Reorganization intends to be accounted for as a tax free
reorganization of investment companies. The unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may
not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial
statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at December 31,
2005. The unaudited pro forma statement of investments and statement of
assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of Disciplined
Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund at December 31, 2000.  The unaudited pro
forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of
Disciplined Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund for the year ended December 31,
2005. These statements have been derived from the Funds' respective books and
records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates indicated
above for Disciplined Allocation and Balanced Funds under generally accepted
accounting principles.  The historical cost of investment securities will be
carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of the
Balanced Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated.  The
unaudited pro forma statement of investments, and statements of assets and
liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statements
of Additional Information for the Funds.


NOTE 2- SHARES:

      The unaudited pro forma net asset value per share assumes additional
common shares of beneficial interest issued in connection with the proposed
acquisition of Disciplined Allocation Fund by Balanced Fund as of December
31, 2005.  The number of additional shares issued was calculated by dividing
the net asset value of each Class of Disciplined Allocation Fund by the
respective Class net asset value per share of Balanced Fund.

NOTE 3 - UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

      The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect
changes in the Balanced Fund's shares as if the Reorganization had taken
place on December 31, 2005.
