PRESIDENT’S LETTER

President
Oppenheimer

Money Market Fund, Inc.

Dear Shareholder,

The year 2000 was one to remember, both for the performance of the financial markets and the lessons it presented to all investors.

     In many ways, 2000 was a study in contrasts. Many stocks experienced sharp declines, while municipal and high quality bonds performed strongly. The year began with unrestrained enthusiasm for technology stocks in particular, and growth stocks in general, but ended with value-oriented stocks providing better performance.

     Market conditions shifted dramatically during 2000. When the year began, the economy was growing rapidly, raising concerns that long-dormant inflationary pressures might resurface. By mid-year, however, after a series of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed), the economy began to slow—triggering fears of a potential recession. The slowing economy generally hurt the stock market and benefited high quality bonds.

     The lessons provided by a volatile and difficult year reinforced many of the basic investment principles we have discussed in this letter from time to time. In 2000, market volatility was a powerful reminder of the importance of investment diversification—the time-honored strategy of spreading risk among various asset classes, industry groups and investment styles. In addition, actively managed funds generally outperformed passive index funds, as research-intensive security selection again made a critical difference for portfolio returns. Perhaps most important, the markets in 2000 confirmed that sound business fundamentals, rather than investment fads, are a more powerful determinant of investment success over the long term.

     Looking forward, we are cautiously optimistic. Our caution arises from expectations that the economy will grow only moderately during the first half of 2001. The Fed, already more concerned about a potential recession than inflation, reversed its monetary policy of the past 18 months by reducing key short-term interest

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

rates. This rate cut, combined with the possibility of future interest rate reductions and a federal income tax cut, may help the economy achieve a “soft landing.”

     Our current situation has mixed implications for stocks and bonds. While slowed growth may mean decelerated corporate earnings growth, lower interest rates could bolster stock valuations. Similarly, slower economic growth has helped interest-rate-sensitive securities, such as U.S. Government securities, but may have a negative effect on credit-sensitive corporate bonds.

     In overseas markets, we believe potential investment opportunities may reside in Europe, which appears to be experiencing slow, steady growth bolstered by the strengthening euro and falling oil prices. Signs are less encouraging in Japan, where the economy generally remains weak. Lower interest rates are buoying the economies of the emerging markets—but slowing growth, plus Mideast tensions, could cast a shadow over these regions.

     In this uncertain environment, we intend to adhere to the same proven investment principles that have driven our funds’ past success: broad diversification to help reduce risk, an unwavering focus on business fundamentals to seek likely winners, and a long-term perspective that preserves the integrity of each fund’s investment approach. Regardless of the short-term movements of the financial markets, these principles—fundamental parts of The Right Way to Invest—should serve investors well in 2001 and beyond.

Sincerely,

/s/ Bridget A. Macaskill

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND’S MANAGER

Portfolio Manager
Carol Wolf

Q. How did the Fund perform over the last six months?

A. During the recent six-month period that ended January 31, 2001, Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. maintained a stable share price of $1.00 per share, while continuing to provide its investors with a stream of income. The Fund, which invests in certificates of deposit, letters of credit, commercial paper and other money market instruments, produced an annualized yield of 6.03%, and an annualized yield including the effects of compounding of 6.22% for the six-month period. The Fund’s seven-day and compounded seven-day yields on January 31, 2001, were 5.78% and 5.94%, respectively.1

How did the robust U.S. economy affect interest rates?

Interest rates were driven higher by a series of short-term interest rate hikes initiated by the Federal Reserve Board (“the Fed”) in late 1999 and early 2000. The Fed raised rates a total of six times during that period in an effort to avert inflation and slow the overheated U.S. economy, culminating in an aggressive half-point increase in mid-May 2000. Although the last of these rate hikes occurred before the period began, expectations of further raises maintained upward pressure on bond yields for much of the period.

     In mid-2000, the nation’s overall levels of manufacturing output and housing sales eased. Evidence mounted throughout the period that the pace of economic growth had indeed begun to moderate. However, during the reporting period the Fed kept rates steady—as a check on inflationary pressures resulting from a continuing tight labor market and rising energy prices.

How did you manage the Fund during this period?

We took advantage of these conditions by lengthening the Fund’s average maturity. During the reporting period, the Fund’s average maturity lengthened from approximately 44 days to approximately 48 days. This move enabled us to lock in favorable yields at a time when we believe rates have reached a

plateau and may be poised to fall. At the same time, we were careful to purchase longer maturity securities only after careful analysis of their structure and the Fund’s current investment needs.

     In terms of security selection, we made opportunistic purchases of floating rate notes when they were available at attractive rates. However, spreads or differences in yields within our investment universe narrowed significantly during the period, and floating rate notes were particularly vulnerable to these conditions. As a result, they proved relatively unattractive at various times throughout the period.

     We were able to find attractive yields in select, asset-backed commercial paper. Analytical expertise is the key to adding value through such investments. OppenheimerFunds’ experienced analysts enabled us to limit our purchases to what we believed were well-structured, highly liquid asset-backed programs typically offering a yield advantage over comparable commercial paper issued by corporations. All told, asset-backed securities comprised 19.0% of net assets at period end.2 Among commercial paper investments, which comprised most of our remaining holdings, we sought to avoid troubled and volatile industries, such as telecommunications, in favor of high quality financial services companies.

What is your outlook over the coming months?

As of the end of the period, there remains little doubt that the Fed’s inflation-taming strategy has succeeded in cooling off the economy. Given recent evidence of slowing consumer and business spending, the key concern facing today’s markets is whether or not the strategy may have worked too well. However, underlying economic fundamentals remain sound,

with inflation in check. In addition, to bolster the slowing economy, the Fed recently began reversing the direction of its monetary policy by reducing interest rates. In this environment, we continue to look for opportunities to increase the Fund’s yield, consistent with our focus on liquidity and safety.

     In closing, we’d like to thank you for your continued confidence and participation in the Fund. We look forward to helping you reach your financial goals. That’s what makes Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. an important part of The Right Way to Invest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek the maximum current income that is consistent with stability of principal. The Fund’s investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.


Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.


Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.


Directors’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the Fund’s independent Board of Directors. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each director during the years of service. During the six months ended January 31, 2001, a provision of $32,092 was made for the Fund’s projected benefit obligations and payments of $376 were made to retired directors, resulting in an accumulated liability of $254,447 as of January 31, 2001.

     The Board of Directors has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been invested for the Board of Directors in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the director. The amount paid to the Board of Directors under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the selected funds. Deferral of directors’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share.


Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.


Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.


Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued


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


2. Capital Stock

The Fund has authorized five billion shares of $.10 par value capital stock. Transactions in shares of capital stock were as follows:

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee of 0.45% of the first $500 million of average annual net assets, 0.425% of the next $500 million, 0.40% of the next $500 million, and 0.375% of net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund if aggregate expenses (with specified exceptions) exceed the lesser of 1% of average annual net assets of the Fund or 25% of the total annual investment income of the Fund. The Fund’s management fee for the six months ended January 31, 2001, was an annualized rate of 0.42%, before any waiver by the Manager if applicable.


Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Prior to January 1, 2001, OFS performed these services on an at-cost basis. Beginning January 2001, OFS is paid at an agreed upon per account fee.


4. Illiquid or Restricted Securities

As of January 31, 2001, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more

18 OPPENHEIMER MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.

than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of January 31, 2001, was $125,996,400, which represents 6.55% of the Fund’s net assets, of which $10,000,000 is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:
