ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

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

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

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

|X| Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund focuses its investments in equity
securities of small growth companies. Equity securities include common stocks,
preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common
stock. The Fund's investments will primarily include stocks of companies having
a market capitalization of up to $2.5 billion, generally measured at the time of
the Fund's investment. However, the Fund is not required to sell securities it
holds of an issuer if the issuer's capitalization exceeds $2.5 billion.

      The Fund can also invest a portion of its assets in securities of issuers
having a market capitalization greater than $2.5 billion. At times, in the
Manager's view, the market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a
particular capitalization range. Therefore the Fund may change relative emphasis
on its equity investments in securities of one or more capitalization ranges,
based upon the Manager's judgment of where the best market opportunities are to
seek the Fund's objective.

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

      Growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for
research, development or investment in capital assets. Therefore, they do not
tend to emphasize paying dividends, and may not pay any dividends for some time.
They are selected for the Fund's portfolio because the Manager believes the
price of the stock will increase over the long term.

      Current income is not a criterion used to select portfolio securities.
However, certain debt securities may be selected for the Fund's portfolio for
defensive purposes (including debt securities that the Manager believes may
offer some opportunities for capital appreciation when stocks are disfavored).

      In general, securities of small-cap issuers may be subject to greater
price volatility in general than securities of large-cap and mid-cap companies.
Therefore, to the degree that the Fund has investments in smaller capitalization
companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share price may fluctuate
more. As noted below, the Fund limits such investments in unseasoned small cap
issuers.

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

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

|_| Convertible Securities. The value of a convertible security is a function of
its "investment value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value
exceeds the conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security
and the security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and
decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the
investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security. In that
case, it will likely sell at a premium over its conversion value and its price
will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. While
some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in many cases their
conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities) causes them to
be regarded more as "equity equivalents." As a result, the credit rating
assigned to the security has less impact on the Manager's investment decision
with respect to convertible securities than in the case of non-convertible
fixed-income securities. To determine whether convertible securities should be
regarded as "equity equivalents," the Manager examines the following factors:
(1)            whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security
               can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of
               the issuer,
(2)            whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its
               earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis
               (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible
               securities), and
(3)            the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive
               "equity substitute," providing the ability to participate in any
               appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

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

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

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

|X| Foreign Securities. The Fund may purchase equity securities issued or
guaranteed by foreign companies or debt securities issued by foreign
governments. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of
companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States.
They may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign
over-the-counter markets.

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

      Because the Fund may purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of such foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar will result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available
for distribution. Because a portion of the Fund's investment income may be
received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its income
in U. S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the Fund will
absorb the cost of currency fluctuations. After the Fund has distributed income,
subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the Fund's having distributed
more income in a particular fiscal period than was available form investment
income, which could result in a return of capital to shareholders.

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

|_| Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities may offer
special opportunities for investing but also present special additional risks
and considerations not typically associated with investments in domestic
securities. Some of these additional risks are:
o     reduction of income by foreign taxes;
o     fluctuation  in value of  foreign  investments due to changes  in currency
      rates or currency control regulations (for example, currency blockage);
o     transaction charges for currency exchange;
o     lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o     lack of uniform  accounting,  auditing and  financial reporting standards
      in foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers;
o     less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o     greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;
o     less governmental  regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and
      brokers than in the U.S.;
o     greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o     higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o     increased  risks  of  delays  in  settlement  of  portfolio  transactions
      or loss of certificates for portfolio securities;
o     possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory  taxation,
      political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic
      developments; and
o     unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

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

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

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

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

      Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Investment Company Act"), the Fund may also invest in foreign mutual funds
which are also deemed PFICs (since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is
generally passive income). Investing in these types of PFICs may allow exposure
to various countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all
direct foreign investment in the securities of companies domiciled therein.

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

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

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

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

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

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

|X| Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in securities
of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation
for less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors.
Securities of these companies are subject to greater volatility in their prices.
They may have a limited trading market, which may adversely affect the Fund's
ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund might be able to
obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a small,
unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security
when the Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings of that security. In that
case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than might otherwise
be obtained. The Fund currently intends to invest not more than 10% of its net
assets in those securities. The Manager might increase that limit, for example,
if it believes that these securities offer better capital appreciation
possibilities than those of more established small-cap companies. These are more
speculative securities and can increase the Fund's overall portfolio risks.

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

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

      The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase.
Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to the
Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. There is no limit on the amount
of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having
maturities of seven days or less.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|X| Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent
permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder
or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute,
rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time. Borrowing
may entail "leverage," and may be a speculative investment strategy. Any
borrowing will be made only from banks and, pursuant to the requirements of the
Investment Company Act, will be made only to the extent that the value of the
Fund's assets, less its liabilities other than borrowings, is equal to at least
300% of all borrowings including the proposed borrowing. If the value of the
Fund's assets, when computed in that manner, should fail to meet the 300% asset
coverage requirement, the Fund is required within three days to reduce its bank
debt to the extent necessary to meet that coverage requirement. To do so, the
Fund may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time when it would
otherwise not want to sell the securities. Interest on money the Fund borrows is
an expense the Fund would not otherwise incur, so that during periods of
substantial borrowings, its expenses may increase more than the expenses of
funds that do not borrow. The use of leverage also may make the Fund's share
prices more sensitive to interest rate changes. The Fund may borrow up to 5% of
its total assets for temporary purpose from any person. Under the Investment
Company Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that a loan is temporary if it is
repaid within 60 days and not extended or renewed.

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

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

|X| Hedging. Although the Fund does not anticipate the extensive use of hedging
 instruments, the Fund can use hedging instruments. To attempt to protect
 against declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio, to permit the
 Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which have
 appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons, the
 Fund could:
         |_|      sell futures contracts,
         |_|      buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
         |_| write covered calls on securities or futures. Covered calls may
            also be used to increase the Fund's income, but the Manager does not
            expect to engage extensively in that practice.

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

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

|X| Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1)
broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "stock index futures"),
(2) other broadly-based securities indices (these are referred to as "financial
futures"), (3) debt securities (these are referred to as "interest rate
futures"), (4) foreign currencies (these are referred to as "forward
contracts"), and (5) commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

      A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index
futures. They may in some cases be based on stocks of issuers in a particular
industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative values to the
common stocks included in the index and its value fluctuates in response to the
changes in value of the underlying stocks. A stock index cannot be purchased or
sold directly. Financial futures are similar contracts based on the future value
of the basket of securities that comprise the index. These contracts obligate
the seller to deliver, and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures
transaction. There is no delivery made of the underlying securities to settle
the futures obligation. Either party may also settle the transaction by entering
into an offsetting contract.

      An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser
to take) cash or a specified type of debt security to settle the futures
transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close
out the position.

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

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

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

|_| Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put options
("puts") and call options ("calls"), as explained below. The Fund can write
(that is, sell) puts. The Fund will not write puts if, as a result, more than
50% of the Fund's net assets would be required to be segregated to cover such
put options.

|_| Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell) covered
  calls on securities, indices or futures. A call is covered if the Fund owns
  the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding, or, for
  certain types of calls, the call may be covered by segregating liquid assets
  to enable the Fund to satisfy its obligation if the call is exercised. Up to
  25% of the Funds total assets may be subject to calls the Fund writes.

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

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

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

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

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

|_| Writing Put Options. The Fund may sell put options. A put option on
securities gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation
to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise price during the option
period. The Fund will not write puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the
Fund's net assets would be required to be identified on the Fund's books to
cover such put options.

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

      When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to pay
for the underlying security the Fund will deposit in escrow liquid assets with a
value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities.
The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing the identified assets or
writing calls against those assets.

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

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

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

      The Fund can buy puts on securities, on indices or on futures that are
permitted by the Fund's other investment policies. The Fund can buy puts whether
or not it holds the underlying investment in its portfolio. When the Fund
purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to puts on indices, has the
right to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a put on a corresponding
investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price. Buying a put on
securities or futures the Fund owns enables the Fund to attempt to protect
itself during the put period against a decline in the value of the underlying
investment below the exercise price by selling the underlying investment at the
exercise price to a seller of a corresponding put. If the market price of the
underlying investment is equal to or above the exercise price and, as a result,
the put is not exercised or resold, the put will become worthless at its
expiration date. In that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the
right to sell the underlying investment. However, the Fund may sell the put
prior to its expiration. That sale may or may not be at a profit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated
as ordinary income or loss: (1) gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in
exchange rates that occur between the
         time the Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues expenses
         or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the
         Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities, and
(2)      gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign
         currency between the date of acquisition of a debt security denominated
         in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward contracts and the
         date of disposition.

      Currency gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on
each trade before determining a net "Section 988" gain or loss under the
Internal Revenue Code for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount
of the Fund's investment company income available for distribution to its
shareholders.

|X| Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. When market, economic or
political conditions are unstable, or the Manager believes it is otherwise
appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of
debt securities for defensive purposes. The Fund can also purchase these
securities for liquidity purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of
Fund shares, or to hold while waiting reinvest cash received from the sale of
other portfolio securities. The Fund can buy:
         o  high-quality (rated in the top rating categories of
            nationally-recognized rating organizations or deemed by the Manager
            to be of comparable quality), short-term money market instruments,
            including those issued by the U. S. Treasury or other government
            agencies,
         o  commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of
            domestic or foreign companies) rated in the top rating category of a
            nationally-recognized rating organization,
         o  debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment grade (rated
            at least Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or at least BBB by
            Standard & Poor's Corporation, or a comparable rating by another
            rating organization), or unrated securities judged by the Manager to
            have a comparable quality to rated securities in those categories,
         o  preferred stocks,
         o  certificates  of deposit and bankers'  acceptances of domestic and
            foreign banks and savings and loan associations, and
         o  repurchase agreements.

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

Investment Restrictions

|X| What Are "Fundamental Policies?" Fundamental policies are those policies
that the Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be changed only by
the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the
Investment Company Act, a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders
of the lesser of:
         o  67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a
            shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
            outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or
         o  more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

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

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

o           The Fund cannot buy securities or other instruments issued or
            guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets
            would be invested in securities or other instruments of that issuer
            or if it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting
            securities. This limitation applies to 75% of the Fund's total
            assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed
            by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities
            or securities of other investment companies.

o           The Fund cannot make loans, except to the extent permitted under the
            Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any
            exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute,
            rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to
            time.

o           The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one
            industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or
            guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and
            instrumentalities or securities issued by investment companies.

o           The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A
            permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter
            under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling any securities held
            in its own portfolio.

o           The Fund cannot invest in real estate, physical commodities or
            commodity contracts, except to the extent permitted under the
            Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any
            exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be
            amended or interpreted from time to time.

o           The Fund cannot issue senior securities, except to the extent
            permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations
            thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or
            regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

|X| Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions. The following operating policies of
the Fund are not fundamental policies and, as such, may be changed, provided
such change is consistent with the Investment Company Act and other applicable
regulations by vote of a majority of the Fund's Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval. These additional restrictions provide that:
o           The Fund cannot invest in physical commodities or commodity
            contracts; however, the Fund may: (1) buy and sell hedging
            instruments permitted by any of its other investment policies, and
            (2) buy and sell options, futures, securities or other instruments
            backed by, or the investment return from which is linked to changes
            in the price of, physical commodities.
o           The Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered
            investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in
            reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the
            Investment Company Act.

      Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information states
that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at
the time the Fund makes an investment (except in the case of borrowing and
investments in illiquid securities). The Fund need not sell securities to meet
the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in proportion to
the size of the Fund.

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

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

     o Public  Disclosure.  The  Fund's  portfolio  holdings  are made  publicly
available  no later than 60 days  after the close of each of the  Fund's  fiscal
quarters in semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, or in its Statements
of  Investments  on Form  N-Q,  which  are  publicly  available  at the SEC.  In
addition,  the top 10 or  more  holdings  are  posted  on the  OppenheimerFunds'
website  at  www.oppenheimerfunds.com  in the  "Fund  Profiles"  section.  Other
general  information about the Fund's portfolio  investments,  such as portfolio
composition  by asset  class,  industry,  country,  currency,  credit  rating or
maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

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

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

A list of the top 10 or more portfolio securities holdings (based on invested
assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be
disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than 15
days after month-end.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial
interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in July 1985.

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

      The Fund currently has five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class N and Class Y. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only
retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Only certain institutional
investors may purchase Class Y shares. Each class of shares:

o     has its own dividends and distributions,
o pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes, o will
generally have a different net asset value, o will generally have separate
voting rights on matters in which interests of one class
are different from interests of another class, and o votes as a class
on matters that affect that class alone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight
Committee, a Governance Committee and a Proxy Committee. Each committee is
comprised solely of Trustees who are not "interested persons" under the
Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"). The members of the Audit
Committee are Joel W. Motley (Chairman), Mary F. Miller, Kenneth A. Randall and
Joseph M. Wikler. The Audit Committee held 5 meetings during the Fund's fiscal
year ended September 30, 2005. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent registered
public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors"). Other
main functions of the Audit Committee outlined in the Audit Committee Charter,
include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of
financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports
from the Fund's independent Auditors regarding the Fund's internal accounting
procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal
Audit Department; (iv) maintaining a separate line of communication between the
Fund's independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees; (v) reviewing the
independence of the Fund's independent Auditors; and (vi) pre-approving the
provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Fund's independent Auditors,
including tax services, that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to
the Fund, the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager.

      The members of the Regulatory & Oversight Committee are Robert G. Galli
(Chairman), Matthew P. Fink, Phillip A. Griffiths, Joel W. Motley and Brian F.
Wruble. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee held 5 meetings during the Fund's
fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee
evaluates and reports to the Board on the Fund's contractual arrangements,
including the Investment Advisory and Distribution Agreements, transfer agency
and shareholder service agreements and custodian agreements as well as the
policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with the Investment
Company Act and other applicable law, among other duties as set forth in the
Regulatory & Oversight Committee's Charter.

      The members of the Governance Committee are, Phillip A. Griffiths
(Chairman), Kenneth A. Randall, Russell S. Reynolds, Jr. and Peter I Wold. The
Governance Committee held 5 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005. The Governance Committee reviews the Fund's governance
guidelines, the adequacy of the Fund's Codes of Ethics, and develops
qualification criteria for Board members consistent with the Fund's governance
guidelines, among other duties set forth in the Governance Committee's Charter.

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

      To date, the Governance Committee has been able to identify from its own
resources an ample number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, under the
current policy of the Board, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is
likely to exist on the Board, the Governance Committee will consider candidates
for Board membership including those recommended by the Fund's shareholders. The
Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by Independent Board
members or recommended by any other Board members including Board members
affiliated with the Fund's Manager. The Governance Committee may, upon Board
approval, retain an executive search firm to assist in screening potential
candidates. Upon Board approval, the Governance Committee may also use the
services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary
or desirable in the screening process. Shareholders wishing to submit a nominee
for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission to the offices
of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th
Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008, to the attention of the Board of Trustees
of Oppenheimer Discovery Fund, c/o the Secretary of the Fund.

      Submissions should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: (1) the
name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of
the person being recommended; (2) a statement concerning whether the person is
an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act; (3) any other
information that the Fund would be required to include in a proxy statement
concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and (4) the name and address
of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a
shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. Shareholders
should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual
Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Manager) would be deemed an
"interested person" under the Investment Company Act. In addition, certain other
relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its
subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal
counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."

      The Governance Committee has not established specific qualifications that
it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees,
the Governance Committee considers, among other things, an individual's
background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an "interested
person" as defined in the Investment Company Act; and whether the individual
would be deemed an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of
applicable SEC rules. The Governance Committee also considers whether the
individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the background,
skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There
are no differences in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates
nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a
shareholder. Candidates are expected to provide a mix of attributes, experience,
perspective and skills necessary to effectively advance the interests of
shareholders.

      The members of the Proxy Committee are Russell S. Reynolds, Jr.
(Chairman), Matthew P. Fink and Mary F. Miller. The Proxy Committee held 1
meeting during the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The Proxy
Committee provides the Board with recommendations for the proxy voting of
portfolio securities held by the Fund and monitors proxy voting by the Fund.

     Trustees  and  Officers  of the Fund.  Except for Mr.  Murphy,  each of the
Trustees is an  Independent  Trustee.  All of the Trustees are also directors or
trustees of the following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board I Funds"):

Oppenheimer AMT-Free Municipals            Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
                                           Oppenheimer   International   Large  Cap
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals   Core Fund
                                           Oppenheimer  International Small Company
Oppenheimer Balanced Fund                  Fund
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund      Oppenheimer International Value Fund
                                           Oppenheimer   Limited  Term   California
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund      Municipal Fund
Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund        Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Discovery Fund                 Oppenheimer Multi-State Municipal Trust
Oppenheimer Dividend Growth Fund           Oppenheimer Portfolio Series
Oppenheimer Emerging Growth Fund           Oppenheimer Real Estate Fund
Oppenheimer Emerging Technologies Fund     Oppenheimer Select Value Fund
Oppenheimer Enterprise Fund                Oppenheimer Series Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Global Fund                    OFI Tremont Core Strategies Hedge Fund
Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund      OFI Tremont Market Neutral Hedge Fund
                                           Oppenheimer  Tremont Market Neutral Fund
Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund   LLC
Oppenheimer Growth Fund                    Oppenheimer Tremont Opportunity Fund LLC
Oppenheimer International Diversified Fund Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust

      In addition to being a director or trustee of each of the Board I Funds,
Messrs. Galli and Wruble are directors or trustees of ten other portfolios, and
Messrs. Wikler and Wold are trustees of one other portfolio, in the
OppenheimerFunds complex.

      Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their
immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and
retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net asset
value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares is waived for
that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the Distributor.

      Messrs. Gillespie, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero, Wixted and Zack
and Mss. Bloomberg, Granger and Ives, who are officers of the Fund, hold the
same offices with one or more of the other Board I Funds. As of October 29, 2004
the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of record or
beneficially less than 1% of any class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing
statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an employee
benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially
owned under that plan by the officers of the Fund listed above. In addition,
none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate family members)
owns securities of either the Manager, or the Distributor of the Board I Funds
or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Manager, or the Distributor.

      Affiliated Transactions and Material Business Relationships. Mr. Reynolds
has reported he has a controlling interest in The Directorship Group, Inc. (the
"Directorship Group"), a director recruiting firm that provided consulting
services to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (which controls the
Manager) for fees of $137,500 for calendar year ended December 31, 2002. Mr.
Reynolds reported that the Directorship Group did not provide consulting
services to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company during the calendar
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and does not expect to provide any such
services in the calendar year ending December 31, 2005.

      The Independent Trustees have unanimously (except for Mr. Reynolds, who
abstained) determined that the consulting arrangements between the Directorship
Group and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company were not material business
or professional relationships that would compromise Mr. Reynolds's status as an

|X| Retirement Plan for Trustees. Certain Board I Funds have adopted a
retirement plan that provides for payments to retired Independent Trustees.
Payments are up to 80% of the average compensation paid during a Trustee's five
years of service in which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee must
serve as director or trustee for any of the Board I Funds for at least seven
years to be eligible for retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15
years to be eligible for the maximum benefit. The amount of retirement benefits
a Trustee will receive depends on the amount of the Trustee's compensation,
including future compensation and the length of his or her service on the Board.

      |X| Deferred Compensation Plan. The Board of Trustees has adopted a
Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees that enables them to elect
to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled to
receive from certain Board I Funds. Under the plan, the compensation deferred by
a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The
amount paid to the Trustee under the plan will be determined based upon the
amount of compensation deferred and the performance of the selected funds.

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

|X| Major Shareholders. As of October 29, 2004, the only persons or entities who
owned of record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of any

a holding company  controlled by Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance Company, a
global, diversified insurance and financial services organization.

|X| Code of Ethics. The Fund, the Manager and the Distributor have a Code of
Ethics. It is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by
certain employees, including portfolio managers, that would compete with or take
advantage of the Fund's portfolio transactions. Covered persons include persons
with knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of the Fund and
other funds advised by the Manager. The Code of Ethics does permit personnel
subject to the Code to invest in securities, including securities that may be
purchased or held by the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics is carefully monitored and enforced by the
Manager.

      The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference
Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours of operation
of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1.202.942.8090. The Code of
Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's registration statement on the
SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet website at www.sec.gov. Copies may be
obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following
E-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov., or by writing to the SEC's Public Reference
Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Portfolio  Manager.  The  Fund's  portfolio  is  managed  by Laura  Granger
(referred to as the "Portfolio Manager").  She is the person responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

     Other  Accounts  Managed.  In addition to  managing  the Fund's  investment
portfolio,  Ms. Granger also manages other investment portfolios and accounts on
behalf  of  the  Manager  or  its  affiliates.   The  following  table  provides

      As indicated above, the Portfolio Manager also manages other funds and
accounts. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with the
interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment objectives and
strategies of the other funds or accounts are the same as, or different from,
the Fund's investment objectives and strategies. For example the Portfolio
Manager may need to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and
another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or she may need
to execute transactions for another fund or account that could have a negative
impact on the value of securities held by the Fund. Not all funds and accounts
advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If the management fee
structure of another fund or account is more advantageous to the Manager than
the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an incentive to favor the
other fund or account. However, the Manager's compliance procedures and Code of
Ethics recognize the Manager's fiduciary obligation to treat all of its clients,
including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the
Portfolio Manager from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of
course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always
be adequate to do so. At various times, the Fund's Portfolio Manager may manage
other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies similar to
those of the Fund, or she may manage funds or accounts with different investment
objectives and strategies.

Compensation of the Portfolio Manager. The Fund's Portfolio Manager is
employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager's
compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, their
compensation is based primarily on the investment performance results of the
funds and accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the
Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers and analysts interests
with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders. The Manager's
compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified
investment management professionals and to reward individual and team
contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of September 30, 2005, the
Portfolio Manager's compensation consisted of three elements: a base salary, an
annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term awards of
options and appreciation rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager's
holding company parent. Senior portfolio managers may also be eligible to
participate in the Manager's deferred compensation plan.

      To help the Manager attract and retain talent, the base pay component of
each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects the
performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of the
particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of the
individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions. The
annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the Manager and
is based on a number of factors, including a fund's pre-tax performance for
periods of up to five years, measured against, an appropriate Lipper benchmark
selected by management. The Lipper benchmark with respect to the Fund is Lipper
- Small-Cap Growth Funds. Other factors considered include management quality
(such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership
and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Manager's
compensation is not based on the total value of the Fund's portfolio assets,
although the Fund's investment performance may increase those assets. The
compensation structure is also intended to be internally equitable and serve to
reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and other funds and
accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager. The compensation structure of the
other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager is the same as the
compensation structure of the Fund, described above.

     Ownership of Fund Shares.  As of September 30, 2005 the  Portfolio  Manager
did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.


Brokerage Policies of the Fund

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the
Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public
offering of the Fund's classes of shares. The Distributor bears the expenses
normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost of printing
and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing shareholders.
The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, payments under the Class A
plan totaled $1,651,286, of which $12,315 was retained by the Distributor under
the arrangement described above, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts,
and included $130,165 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company.
Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares
in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may
not use payments received under the Class A plan to pay any of its interest
expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

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

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

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

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

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

      During a calendar year, the Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class
B, Class C and Class N shares may be more than the payments it receives from the
contingent deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the
asset-based sales charges paid to the Distributor by the Fund under the
distribution and service plans. Those excess expenses are carried over on the
Distributor's books and may be recouped from asset-based sales charge payments
from the Fund in future years. However, the Distributor has voluntarily agreed
to cap the amount of expenses under the plans that may be carried over from year
to year and recouped that relate to (i) expenses the Distributor has incurred
that represent compensation and expenses of its sales personnel and (ii) other
direct distribution costs it has incurred, such as sales literature, state
registration fees, advertising and prospectuses used to offer Fund shares. The
cap on the carry-over of those categories of expenses is set at 0.70% of annual
gross sales of shares of the Fund. If those categories of expenses exceed the
capped amount, the Distributor bears the excess costs. If the Class B, Class C
or Class N plan were to be terminated by the Fund, the Fund's Board of Trustees
may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the
Distributor for distributing shares prior to the termination of the plan.

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

      Financial intermediaries may receive various forms of compensation or
reimbursement from the Fund in the form of 12b-1 plan payments as described in
the preceding section of this Statement of Additional Information. They may also
receive reallowance of commissions from the Distributor, derived from sales
charges paid by the clients of the financial intermediary, also as described in
this Statement of Additional Information. Additionally, the Manager and/or the
Distributor (including their affiliates) may make payments to financial
intermediaries in connection with their offering and selling shares of the Fund
and other Oppenheimer funds, providing marketing or promotional support,
transaction processing and/or administrative services. Among the financial
intermediaries that may receive these payments are brokers and dealers who sell
and/or hold shares of the Fund, banks (including bank trust departments),
registered investment advisers, insurance companies, retirement plan and
qualified tuition program administrators, third party administrators, and other
institutions that have selling, servicing or similar arrangements with the
Manager or Distributor. The payments to intermediaries vary by the types of
product sold, the features of the Fund share class and the role played by the
intermediary.

      Possible types of payments to financial intermediaries include, without
limitation, those discussed below.

o        Payments made by the Fund, or by an investor buying or selling shares
         of the Fund may include:

o              depending on the share class that the investor selects,
               contingent deferred sales charges or initial front-end sales
               charges, all or a portion of which front-end sales charges are
               payable by the Distributor to financial intermediaries as sales
               commissions (see "About Your Account" in the Prospectus);
o              ongoing asset-based payments attributable to the share class
               selected, including fees payable under the Fund's distribution
               and/or service plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the
               Investment Company Act, which are paid from the Fund's assets and
               allocated to the class of shares to which the plan relates (see
               "About the Fund -- Distribution and Service Plans" above);
o              shareholder servicing payments for providing omnibus accounting,
               recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other
               administrative or shareholder services, including retirement plan
               and 529 plan administrative services fees, which are paid from
               the assets of a Fund as reimbursement to the Manager or
               Distributor for expenses they incur on behalf of the Fund.

o        Payments made by the Manager or Distributor out of their respective
         resources and assets, which may include profits the Manager derives
         from investment advisory fees paid by the Fund. These payments are made
         at the discretion of the Manager and/or the Distributor. These
         payments, often referred to as "revenue sharing" payments, may be in
         addition to the payments by the Fund listed above.

o              These types of payments may reflect compensation for marketing
               support, support provided in offering the Fund or other
               Oppenheimer funds through certain trading platforms and programs,
               transaction processing or other services;
o              The Manager and Distributor each may also pay other compensation
               to the extent the payment is not prohibited by law or by any
               self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD. Payments are made based
               on the guidelines established by the Manager and Distributor,
               subject to applicable law.

      These payments may provide an incentive to financial intermediaries to
actively market or promote the sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer
funds, or to support the marketing or promotional efforts of the Distributor in
offering shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds. In addition, some types
of payments may provide a financial intermediary with an incentive to recommend
the Fund or a particular share class. Financial intermediaries may earn profits
on these payments, since the amount of the payment may exceed the cost of
providing the service. Certain of these payments are subject to limitations
under applicable law. Financial intermediaries may categorize and disclose these
arrangements to their clients and to members of the public in a manner different
from the disclosures in the Fund's prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information. You should ask your financial intermediary for information about
any payments it receives from the Fund, the Manager or the Distributor and any
services it provides, as well as the fees and commissions it charges.

      Although brokers or dealers that sell Fund shares may also act as a broker
or dealer in connection with the execution of the purchase or sale of portfolio
securities by the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, a financial intermediary's
sales of shares of the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds is not a
consideration for the Manager when choosing brokers or dealers to effect
portfolio transactions for the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds.

      Revenue sharing payments can pay for distribution-related or asset
retention items including, without limitation,

o        transactional support, one-time charges for setting up access for the
         Fund or other Oppenheimer funds on particular trading systems, and
         paying the intermediary's networking fees;
o        program support, such as expenses related to including the Oppenheimer
         funds in retirement plans, college savings plans, fee-based advisory or
         wrap fee programs, fund "supermarkets", bank or trust company products
         or insurance companies' variable annuity or variable life insurance
         products;
o        placement on the dealer's list of offered funds and providing
         representatives of the Distributor with access to a financial
         intermediary's sales meetings, sales representatives and management
         representatives.

      Additionally, the Manager or Distributor may make payments for firm
support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, and educating a
financial intermediary's sales personnel about the Oppenheimer funds and
shareholder financial planning needs.

      For the year ended December 31, 2004, the following financial
intermediaries that are broker-dealers offering shares of the Oppenheimer funds,
and/or their respective affiliates, received revenue sharing or similar

Performance of the Fund

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          - 1  Average Annual Total
ERV   l/n      Return
  P

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

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

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

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

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

 ERV - P   = Total Return
-----------
    P

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

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

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

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

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

The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which
the Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the following:

Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust     Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to November
1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans, additional
purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments
from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent
purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are available only if
your bank is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be used to buy shares
for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts.

      If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the
Fund, your bank account will be debited automatically. Normally the debit will
be made two business days prior to the investment dates you selected on your
application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be
responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH
transmissions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by an investor directly
from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered
broker-dealer.

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

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

      |X| Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the
types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in the
prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans, Profit-Sharing Plans
            and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o     to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender
            retirement plans,
o     to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o     to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o           to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this
            Statement of Additional Information) which have entered into a
            special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,
o           to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the
            Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for
            which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
o           to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of
            all such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or
            more,
o     to Retirement Plans with at least 100 eligible employees or $500,000 or more in plan
            assets,
o     to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with
            the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and
o           to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that
            are identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or
            financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


How to Sell Shares

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause the
involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate net
asset value of those shares is less than $500 or such lesser amount as the Board
may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an
account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the
stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board exercises
this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be given to the
shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may alternatively
set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other
terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

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

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

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

      Participants (other than self-employed plan sponsors) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the
request.

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

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

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

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

      Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having AccountLink
privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have Automatic Withdrawal
Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated on the account
application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to the Transfer Agent.
Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan three
business days before the payment transmittal date you select in the account
application. If a contingent deferred sales charge applies to the redemption,
the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.

      The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested. The
Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at
any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A
share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional Class A share
purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B, Class C
and Class N shareholders should not establish automatic withdrawal plans,
because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge on
such withdrawals (except where the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent
deferred sales charge is waived as described in Appendix C to this Statement of
Additional Information).

      By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder
agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below.
These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the
Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing
Plans.

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

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

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

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

      Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset value
per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink payments
representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be transmitted three
business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the payment, according
to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt of payment on the
date selected cannot be guaranteed.

      The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to
which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be
changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The
Planholder should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such notification
for the requested change to be put in effect. The Planholder may, at any time,
instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem all, or any part of, the
shares held under the plan. That notice must be in proper form in accordance
with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund. In that case,
the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset
value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the
Planholder.

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

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

How to Exchange Shares

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

      only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may not be
      acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other Oppenheimer funds
      except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or
      Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M shares.
o     Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
      for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares of
      any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged
      for shares of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge upon payment
      of the sales charge. They may also be used to purchase shares of
      Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or contingent
      deferred sales charge.
o     Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions
      from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit investment trust
      for which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the Distributor
      may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.
      However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of other
      Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main
      Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be

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

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

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

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

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

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

o Except with respect to the Class B shares described in the next two
paragraphs, the contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares
acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o With respect to Class B shares of Limited Term California Municipal Fund,
Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York
Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the Class B contingent
deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed
within five years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o With respect to Class B shares of Cash Reserves that were acquired through the
exchange of Class B shares initially purchased in the Oppenheimer Capital
Preservation Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on
the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of that initial
purchase.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.
The Fund may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, and an interest charge, on
certain distributions or gains from the sale of shares of a foreign company
considered to be a PFIC, even if those amounts are paid out as dividends to
shareholders. To avoid imposition of the interest charge, the Fund may elect to
"mark to market" all PFIC shares that it holds at the end of each taxable year.
In that case, any increase or decrease in the value of those shares would be
recognized as ordinary income or as ordinary loss (but only to the extent of
previously recognized "mark-to-market" gains).

      Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends
or capital gain distributions will be treated as a return of capital to the
extent of the shareholder's tax basis in their shares. Any excess will be
treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders
will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If prior distributions made
by the Fund must be re-characterized as a non-taxable return of capital at the
end of the fiscal year as a result of the effect of the Fund's investment
policies, they will be identified as such in notices sent to shareholders.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other
financial institutions that have a sales agreement with OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Fund's
Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer
funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is a
division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund's
shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying
dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder
servicing and administrative functions. It serves as the Transfer Agent for an
annual per account fee. It also acts as shareholder servicing agent for the
other Oppenheimer funds. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their
accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the
back cover.

The Custodian. Citibank, N.A. is the custodian of the Fund's assets. The
custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund's
portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from
the Fund. It is the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian in a manner
uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with the Manager
and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances with the custodian in excess of
$100,000 are not protected by federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured
balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. KPMG LLP serves as the
independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. KPMG LLP audits the
Fund's financial statements and performs other related audit services. KPMG LLP
also acts as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Manager
and certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and
non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund must be pre-approved by the
Audit Committee.

September 30, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2004, by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Oppenheimer Discovery Fund as of September 30, 2004, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

      The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares.
Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset
value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are
sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement
plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those
accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without
either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor
may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical
rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive
voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and
net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses,
such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder
communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have
separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for
Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six
years after the date of purchase. The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of
fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another
Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained
by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

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

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


                         34 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND


assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair
valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied
procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money
market type" debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are
valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value).

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

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

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

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

                                                              NET UNREALIZED

1. As of September 30, 2004, the Fund had $233,832,285 of net capital loss
carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and
thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of September 30, 2004,
details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

2. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Fund utilized
$145,584,050 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in
that fiscal year.

3. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, the Fund did not utilize any
capital loss carryforward.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and
distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net
realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the
fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in
which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. Accordingly, the
following amounts have been reclassified for September 30, 2004. Net assets of
the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for
federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2004 are noted below. The
primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of

TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the
Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees
paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended
September 30, 2004, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by
$19,050 and payments of $16,116 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $215,389 as of September 30, 2004.


                         36 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND


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

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT. The reduction of custodian fees, if applicable,
represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.

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

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other
than short-term obligations, for the year ended September 30, 2004, were
$1,382,738,730 and $1,579,919,751, respectively.

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

MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the
investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an
annual rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets,
0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the
next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $700 million, and 0.58% of average annual
net assets in excess of $1.5 billion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager,
acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays
OFS a per


                         38 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND


account fee. For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Fund paid $3,363,495 to
OFS for services to the Fund.

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

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the
distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on
Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% per year on Class N shares. The Distributor
also receives a service fee of up to 0.25% per year under each plan. If either
the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the
shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must
determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of
all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect
to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The
Distributor's aggregate uncompensated expenses under the plan at September 30,
2004 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $4,658,256, $1,178,183 and
$113,192, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plans are detailed
in the Statement of Operations.

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

and $10,467 for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares, respectively. This
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

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

As of September 30, 2004, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are purchased in private placement
transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have
contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the
Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered
illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not
changed for a certain period of time. The Fund will not invest more than 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 September 30, 2004 was $516,705, which represents 0.06% of the
Fund's net assets, all of which is considered restricted. Information concerning
restricted securities is as follows:

6. LITIGATION

Six complaints have been filed as putative derivative and class actions against
the Manager, OFS and the Distributor (collectively, "OppenheimerFunds"), as well
as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively, the "Funds") including this Fund,
and nine Directors/ Trustees of certain of the Funds (collectively, the
"Directors/Trustees"). The complaints allege that the Manager charged excessive
fees for distribution and other costs, improperly used assets of the Funds in
the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to
promote sales of the Funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of Fund
assets to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940
and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints further allege that by
permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees
breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and at common law. By order dated October 27, 2004, these
six actions, and future related actions, were consolidated by the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York into a single consolidated
proceeding in contemplation of the filing of a superceding consolidated and
amended complaint.

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

                                   Appendix A

                               RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the nationally-recognized
rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent the opinion of the agency
as to the credit quality of issues that they rate. The summaries below are based
upon publicly available information provided by the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aaa" are judged to be the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk. Interest payments are
protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is
secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, the changes
that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong
position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are generally known
as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as with "Aaa" securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements
present which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than that of "Aaa"
securities.

A: Bonds and preferred stock rated "A" possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors
giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements
may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the
future.

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Baa" are considered medium-grade
obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative
elements. Their future cannot be considered well-assured. Often the protection
of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well
safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of
position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be
small.

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues may
be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest. Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ca" represent
obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in
default or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds and
can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real
investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier
"2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in
the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded issues that are
secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

PRIME RATING SYSTEM (SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior financial
obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an original maturity
not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more
subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may be
more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may
be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in
changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following considerations:
o     Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial
      commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
o     Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of
      bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and
      other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in
bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation  rated "AAA" have the highest rating  assigned by Standard & Poor's.  The
obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA: An obligation rated "AA" differ from the highest rated obligations only in
small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is very strong.

A: An obligation rated "A" are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects
of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in
higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: An obligation rated "BBB" exhibit adequate protection parameters. However,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C
An obligation rated `BB', `B', `CCC', `CC', and `C' are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. `BB' indicates the least degree of
speculation and `C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation rated "BB" are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other
speculative issues. However, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure
to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the
obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

B: An obligation rated "B" are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated "BB", but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation rated "CCC" are currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and are
dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely
to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CC: An obligation rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: Subordinated debt or preferred stock obligations rated "C" are currently
highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The "C" rating may be used to cover a situation
where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action taken, but payments
on this obligation are being continued. A "C" also will be assigned to a
preferred stock issue in arrears on dividends or sinking fund payments, but that
is currently paying.

D: An obligation rated "D" are in payment default. The "D" rating category is
used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the
applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D" rating also will be
used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action
if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or
minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

c: The `c' subscript is used to provide additional information to investors that
the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the
long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level and/or
the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter `p' indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional rating
assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt being
rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is largely or
entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the project. This
rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to completion of the
project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk of default upon
failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his own judgment with
respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an
executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming
investments and cash flows.

r: The `r' highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that
Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability in
expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such obligations
are securities with principal or interest return indexed to equities,
commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and interest-only and
principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an `r' symbol should not be
taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit no volatility or
variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The ratings
measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into account
currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (`AAA', `AA', `A', `BBB',
commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as eligible
for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing legal
investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations eligible
for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance companies, and
fiduciaries in general

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means
obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including
commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection
parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as having significant
speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and
is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking
of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

NOTES:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market access
risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a
note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely receive a
long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making that
assessment:
o     Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and
o     Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
      refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very strong
capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch, Inc.
International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or
local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency" ratings
are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating measures
the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's currency and
jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating, does not take
account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls limiting transfer into
foreign currency.

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk.
They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by
foreseeable events.
AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk.
They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This
capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity
for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may,
nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than
is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation
of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely
to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk
developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time. However,
business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be
met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.


B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a
limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met. However,
capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and
economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk.  Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic
developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable. "C"
ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are based
on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or
liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values are highly
speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as
general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest potential for recovery,
around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest. "DD" indicates
potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and "D" the lowest recovery
potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy a
higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D" have a
poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are not
added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to short-term
ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most
obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus
places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial commitments
in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally strong credit
feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.
However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus
vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial
commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

               OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A
shares(2) of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that
may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.(3) That is
because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by
dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain
classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

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

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

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


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

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

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of
the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be
subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18
months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and
Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar month of their
purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in
this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased
under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales
charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the
Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."(6) This waiver
provision applies to:
|_| Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
|_|      Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to
         purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent
         deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|      Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the
         purchases are made: 1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered
         investment adviser that has made
            special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases, or 2)
         by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan
         if the
            administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements with the
            Distributor for those purchases.
|_|      Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
         following record-keeping arrangements: 1) The record keeping is
         performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc.
            ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the Retirement
            Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service
            agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more
            of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised
            or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"),
            that are made available under a Service Agreement between Merrill
            Lynch and the mutual fund's principal underwriter or distributor,
            and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a)
            and (b) are referred to as "Applicable Investments").
         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily
            valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under
            a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill
            Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service
            agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $5 million or more
            of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds)
            invested in Applicable Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service
            agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs
            that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as
            determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).




II.                   Waivers of Class A Sales Charges of Oppenheimer Funds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         under sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue
         Code), in each case if those purchases are made through a broker, agent
         or other financial intermediary that has made special arrangements with
         the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|      A TRAC-2000 401(k) plan (sponsored by the former Quest for Value
         Advisors) whose Class B or Class C shares of a Former Quest for Value
         Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due to the
         termination of the Class B and Class C TRAC-2000 program on November
         24, 1995.
|_|      A qualified Retirement Plan that had agreed with the former Quest for
         Value Advisors to purchase shares of any of the Former Quest for Value

that are either: |_| acquired by such shareholder pursuant to an exchange of
shares of an Oppenheimer fund
         that was one of the Former Quest for Value Funds, or

----------------------
(1) In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees/Directors" in this Statement of Additional Information
refers to those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do
not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.
(2) Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund. (3) In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a
continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales
charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions"
mean "repurchases" of shares. (4) An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or
arrangement, whether or not it is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code,
under which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a
fiduciary or other administrator for the account of participants who are
employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers. These may include,
for example, medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans.
The fund accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or
administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.
(5) The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified
retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship, members
and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of
persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made
special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group
participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase
shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer,
broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans
include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than
plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement Plan" also
includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation
plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a
single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made
special arrangements with the Distributor.
(6) However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts
of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan
that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one
or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.
(7) This provision does not apply to IRAs.
(8) This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you
reached age 55. (9) The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination
or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the
Plan.
(10) This provision does not apply to IRAs.
(11) This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and
loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan. (12) This
provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less
than age 55, nor to IRAs.
