The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks high current return
and safety of principal.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests only in U.S.
government debt securities, repurchase agreements on those securities and
hedging instruments approved by its Board of Trustees. That is a fundamental
policy.

U.S. government securities are debt securities that are issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills, notes or bonds, and
securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or
federally-chartered entities that are referred to as "instrumentalities" of the
U.S. government. The Fund invests significant amounts of its assets in
mortgage-related derivative securities, such as collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs") and mortgage participation certificates. They include
mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by instrumentalities of the
U.S. government, such as the Government National Mortgage Association. All of
these different types of securities are generally referred to as "U.S.
government securities" in this Prospectus. The Fund also may enter into forward
roll transactions which have risks.

Not all of the U.S. government securities the Fund buys are backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. government as to payment of interest and
repayment of principal. Some are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow
from the U.S. Treasury. Others are backed only by the credit of the
instrumentality. The securities the Fund buys may pay interest at fixed or
floating rates, or may be "stripped" securities whose interest coupons have been
separated from the security and sold separately.

The Fund seeks to maintain an average effective portfolio duration of not
more than three years (measured on a dollar-weighted basis) to try to reduce the
volatility of the value of its securities portfolio. However, the Fund can
invest in securities that have short-, medium- or long-term maturities and may
use derivative investments to try to reduce interest rate risks. Because of
market events and interest rate changes, the duration of the portfolio might not
meet that target at all times. The Fund's investments are more fully explained
in "About the Fund's Investments," below.

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR
SELL? In selecting securities for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio managers
compare the yields, relative values and risks of different types of U.S.
government securities. They consider a variety of factors that may change
over time and may vary in particular cases. Currently they look for:
o Sectors of the U.S. government debt market that they believe offer good
relative values,
o Securities that have high income potential,
o Securities that help reduce exposure to changes in interest rates to help
preserve principal and help the Fund meet its duration target, and

o Different types of U.S. government and government agency securities to
provide portfolio diversity to help preserve principal. The portfolio
managers look for securities whose yield and price change
will maximize the return to investors. The portfolio managers normally will not
invest in securities with higher yields if, in their opinions they expect the
price to decline to the point where total return (including income) would be
lower than the return on alternative fixed-income investments. Conversely, the
portfolio managers normally will not invest in securities they expect to
appreciate in price if that security's yield is so low that total return
(including income) will be lower than the return on alternative fixed-income
investments. All else being equal, the portfolio managers' preference is for
investing for income over price appreciation.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed primarily for investors
seeking current income and who want a fund that also has the goal of safety of
principal and invests mainly in U.S. government securities. However, the Fund's
share prices and income levels will fluctuate. The Fund's share prices and
distributions are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Fund is
meant to be a long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle. The Fund
may be appropriate for a portion of a retirement plan's investments. Since the
Fund's income level will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an
assured level of current income. Also, the Fund does not seek capital
appreciation. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject to
changes in value from a number of factors, described below. There is also the
risk that poor security selection by the Fund's investment Manager,
OppenheimerFunds, Inc., will cause the Fund to underperform other funds having a
similar objective.

INTEREST RATE RISKS. Debt securities are subject to changes in value when
prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates fall, the values of
already-issued debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise, the
values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and those securities
may sell at a discount from their face amount. The magnitude of these price
fluctuations is generally greater for debt securities having longer maturities.
However, interest rate changes may have different effects on the values of
mortgage-related securities because of prepayment risks, discussed below.

At times, the Fund might buy some longer-term debt securities to seek
higher income while seeking to limit the portfolio's duration by using
derivatives or other investment techniques. When the average duration of the
Fund's portfolio is relatively longer, its share price may fluctuate more when
interest rates change. The Fund's practice of seeking to limit the effective
average duration of its overall portfolio to not more than three years is
intended to reduce share price volatility. Nevertheless, the Fund's duration
management strategy might not be successful, and if it is not, the prices of its
portfolio securities, and therefore its share prices, could be more volatile
than anticipated.

The Fund buys zero-coupon or "stripped" securities, which are particularly
sensitive to interest rate changes and the rate of principal payments (and
prepayments). Their prices may go up or down more than the prices of other types
of debt securities in response to interest rate changes.

PREPAYMENT RISK. Mortgage-related securities are subject to the risks of
unanticipated prepayment. The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part,
by assumptions about the cash flows from the rate of payments of the underlying
mortgages. The risk is that when interest rates fall, borrowers under the
mortgages that underlie these securities will prepay their mortgages more
quickly than expected, causing the issuer of the security to prepay the
principal to the Fund prior to the security's expected maturity. The Fund may be
required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Mortgage-related securities subject to prepayment risk have greater potential
for loss when prevailing interest rates rise. The impact of prepayments on the
price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the volatility
of the price. If the Fund buys mortgage-related securities at a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a
portion of its principal investment represented by the premium.

If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments of mortgages may occur at a
slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of short-term or
medium-term mortgage-related securities could lengthen as a result. That could
cause their values, and the prices of the Fund's shares, to fall.

CREDIT RISK. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk
that the issuer of a debt security might not make interest and principal
payments on the security as they become due. Securities directly issued by the
U.S. Treasury and certain U.S. government agencies that are backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government have little credit risk. Securities
issued by other agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government generally
have low credit risks. Securities issued by private issuers have greater credit
risks. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income may be reduced. If
the issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that security and of the
Fund's shares may fall.

RISKS OF DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. The Fund can use derivatives to seek increased
income or to try to hedge investment and interest rate risks and preserve
capital. In general terms, a derivative investment is an investment contract
whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset,
interest rate or index. Options, futures, stripped securities, mortgage-related
obligations and interest rate swaps are examples of derivatives the Fund can
use.

If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount due, the Fund can
lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying security or investment on
which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, may not perform the
way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the Fund's share prices
could fall and the Fund could get less income than expected, or its hedge might
be unsuccessful. Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to value
or sell them at an acceptable price. The Fund has limits on the amount of
particular types of derivatives it can hold, other than mortgage-related
derivative instruments. Using derivatives can increase the volatility of the
Fund's share prices.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form the
overall risk profile of the Fund and can affect the value of the Fund's
investments, its investment performance and its prices per share. Particular
investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you
can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may
be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Although U.S. government securities backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. government and securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government
agencies and instrumentalities have little credit risk, they are subject to
interest rate risks. Collateralized mortgage obligations and other
mortgage-related securities in particular are subject to a number of risks that
can affect their values and income payments. These risks can cause the Fund's
share prices and yield to fluctuate. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund
is generally less aggressive than bond funds that invest in corporate debt
securities. It is more risky than a money market fund that seeks a stable share
price.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in the
Fund, by showing the Fund's performance (for its Class A shares) from year to
year for the last 10 calendar years and by showing how the average annual total
returns of the Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compare to
broad-based market indices.

The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated
using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in
effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local
taxes. The after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary. The
after-tax returns are calculated based on certain assumptions mandated by
regulation and your actual after-tax returns may differ from those shown,
depending on your individual tax situation. The after-tax returns set forth
below are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through
tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional
investors not subject to tax. The Fund's past investment performance, before and
after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in
the future.

Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of 12/31 each year) [See appendix to
prospectus for data in bar chart showing annual total returns]

Sales charges and taxes are not included in the calculations of return in this
bar chart, and if those charges and taxes were included, the returns may be less
than those shown.
For the period from 1/1/02 through 9/30/02, the cumulative return (not
annualized) before taxes for Class A shares was 5.15%. During the period shown
in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized) before taxes for a
calendar quarter was 4.02% (2nd Qtr'92) and the lowest return (not annualized)
before taxes for a calendar quarter was -2.17% (1st Qtr'92).

2. Because this is a new class of shares, return data for the period specified
is not available. The Fund's average annual total returns include the applicable
sales charge: for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of 3.50%;
for Class B, the contingent deferred sales charges of 4% (1 year) and 1% (5
years); and for Class C, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year
period. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares. Because Class B shares
convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B "life-of-class"
performance does not include any contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class
A performance for the period after conversion. The returns measure the
performance of a hypothetical account and assume that all dividends and capital
gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The performance
of the Fund's Class A shares is compared to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government
Bond Index, an unmanaged market-weighted index of U.S. government securities
with maturities of 1 year or more and the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government
Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. government securities with maturities of
1 to 3 years. The Fund adopted its policy to limit portfolio duration 5/1/94.
The indices performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect
taxes and transaction costs. The Fund's investments vary from those in the
indices.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and expenses
you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund pays a variety of
expenses directly for management of its assets, administration, distribution of
its shares and other services. Those expenses are subtracted from the Fund's
assets to calculate the Fund's net asset values per share. All shareholders
therefore pay those expenses indirectly. Shareholders pay other transaction
expenses directly, such as sales charges. The numbers below are based on the
Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.

Shareholder Fees (charges paid directly from your investment):

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

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

Expenses may vary in future years. "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees,
custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. The
Transfer Agent has voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit transfer agent
fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for each class of
shares. Prior to November 1, 2002, the limit on transfer agent fees for Class Y
shares was 0.25%. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. For
the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 the transfer agent fees did not
exceed the expense limitation described above. For a portion of the Fund's prior
fiscal year, the Class N 12b-1 fee was 0.25% and total Class N 12b-1 fees paid
by the Fund during that period was 0.49%.

EXAMPLES. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of
investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the
time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of
those periods. The second example assumes that you keep your shares. Both
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
class's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or
lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on these assumptions your
expenses would be as follows:

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

If shares are redeemed: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years

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

Class A Shares $437 $621 $821 $1,396

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

Class B Shares $566 $714 $987 $1,5481

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

Class C Shares $265 $511 $881 $1,922

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

Class N Shares $213 $353 $612 $1,352

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

Class Y Shares $50 $157 $274 $616

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

If shares are not 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
redeemed:

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

Class A Shares $437 $621 $821 $1,396

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

Class B Shares $166 $514 $887 $1,5481

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

Class C Shares $165 $511 $881 $1,922

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

Class N Shares $113 $353 $612 $1,352

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

Class Y Shares $50 $157 $274 $616

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

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and
the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charges. In
the second example, the Class A expenses include the sales charge, but Class B,
Class C and Class N expenses do not include the contingent deferred sales
charges. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

1. Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses,
because Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 6 years.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio
among different investments will vary over time based upon the Manager's
evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund's portfolio might not always
include all of the different types of investments described below. The Statement
of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund's
investment policies and risks.

o As a fundamental policy, the Fund invests only in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities,
repurchase agreements on those securities, and hedging instruments
approved by its Board of Trustees.
o As a principal investment strategy, the Fund expects that under normal
market conditions it will maintain an average effective portfolio duration
of not more than three years.

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

What is "Duration"? Duration is a measure of the expected price volatility of a
debt security or portfolio. "Effective duration" means the expected percentage
change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a change in prevailing
interest rates (measured by a 1% change in U.S. Treasury security rates).
Duration and interest rates are inversely related. For example, if a bond has an
effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would
be expected to cause the bond's value to decline about 3%.

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

While the Fund seeks to maintain an average effective portfolio duration
of not more than three years, the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio can
differ from its duration target, and the Fund can hold securities having long,
medium and short maturities.

The Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities
before they are purchased, and in some cases by using hedging techniques. The
Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to market risks by diversifying its
investments among different types of securities and maturities. However, changes
in the overall market prices of securities and their yields can occur at any
time. The share prices and yields of the Fund will change daily based on changes
in market prices of securities and market conditions and in response to other
economic events.

U.S. Government Securities. These are securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Treasury or other U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities.

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

o Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. These
include direct obligations and mortgage-related securities that have
different levels of credit support from the U.S. government. Some are
supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as
Government National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage
certificates (called "Ginnie Maes"). Some are supported by the right of
the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain
circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage Association bonds
("Fannie Maes"). Others are supported only by the credit of the entity
that issued them, such as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
obligations ("Freddie Macs").

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

The Fund may enter into "forward roll" transactions (also referred to as
"mortgage dollar rolls") with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this
type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and
simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security at a later date at a set
price.

During the period between the sale and the purchase, the Fund will not be
entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have
been sold. It is possible that the market value of the securities the Fund sells
may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase
securities, or that the counterparty might default in its obligation.

The Fund's Portfolio "Duration" Strategy. The "maturity" of a security (the
date when its principal repayment is due) differs from effective duration,
which attempts to measure the expected volatility of a security's price.

The Fund measures the duration of its entire portfolio of securities on a
dollar-weighted basis, to try to maintain an average effective duration of
its portfolio of not more than three years, under normal market conditions
(that is, when financial markets are not in an unstable or volatile
state). However, duration cannot be relied on as an exact prediction of
future volatility. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve
its targeted portfolio duration at all times.

Duration calculations rely on a number of assumptions and variables based
on the historic performance of similar securities. Therefore, duration can
be affected by unexpected economic events or conditions relating to a
particular security. In the case of CMOs, duration calculations are based
on historic rates of prepayments of underlying mortgages. If the mortgages
underlying the Fund's investments are prepaid more rapidly or more slowly
than expected, the duration calculation for that security may not be
correct.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of
"derivative investments." CMOs and other mortgage-related securities are
examples of "derivative investments" the Fund uses to seek high current
income. Some derivative investments held by the Fund, including
mortgage-related securities, may be illiquid, making it difficult for the
Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of
Trustees can change non-fundamental investment policies without shareholder
approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this
Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Fund's investment
objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An
investment policy is not fundamental unless this Prospectus or the Statement of
Additional Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek its objective, the Fund can use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not always
use all of them. These techniques have risks, although some are designed to help
reduce overall investment or market risks.

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

Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in
price from interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities. The
Fund may have to distribute in the form of taxable dividends the imputed
income on zero-coupon securities without receiving the actual cash
currently.

The values of interest-only mortgage-related securities are very sensitive
to changes in interest rates and prepayments of underlying mortgages.
Principal-only securities are also sensitive to changes in interest rates.
When the rates of prepayments tend to fall, the timing of the cash flows
to these securities increases, shortening their effective maturities. The
market for some of these securities may be limited, making it difficult
for the Fund to dispose of its holdings quickly at an acceptable price.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund
can enter into repurchase
agreements for cash
management and liquidity
purposes. In a repurchase
transaction, the Fund buys
a U.S. government security
and simultaneously agrees
to sell it back later at a
higher price in the future.
While the Fund's repurchase
agreements must be fully
collateralized, delays or
losses could occur if the
other party to the
agreement defaults or
becomes insolvent.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do
not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or
dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security may
have a contractual restriction on its resale or cannot be sold publicly
until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Fund will not
invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted
securities (including repurchase agreements maturing beyond seven days).
The Fund's Board of Trustees can increase that limit to 15%. Certain
restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified
institutional purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager
monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine
whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

Other Derivatives. The Fund might use some other derivative investments, such as
interest rate swap agreements and stripped securities, to seek higher
returns and may use others, such as options and futures, to hedge
portfolio and interest rate risks.

Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options, and
interest rate swaps. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments."
The Fund does not use hedging instruments extensively and is not required
to use them to seek its objective. The Fund has limits on its use of
hedging instruments, for example, the fund does not use hedging
instruments for speculative purposes.

The Fund might buy and sell options and futures for a number of purposes.
It might do so to try to manage its exposure to the possibility that the
prices of its portfolio securities may decline, or to establish a position
in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing
individual securities. It might do so to try to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates.

Hedging has risks. Options trading involves the payment of premiums and
has special tax effects on the Fund. If the Manager used a hedging
instrument at the wrong time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the
hedge might not be successful and the strategy could reduce the Fund's
returns. The Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its
futures and options positions were not correlated with its other
investments or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid
market.

"When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. The Fund can purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell securities on
a "delayed-delivery" basis. These terms refer to securities that have been
created and for which a market exists, but which are not available for
immediate delivery. There might be a risk of loss to the Fund if the value
of the security declines prior to the settlement date.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund may engage in short-term trading to try to achieve
its objective. While portfolio turnover can affect transaction costs the
Fund pays, in most cases the Fund does not pay brokerage commissions on
debt securities it buys. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells
its portfolio investments, it generally must pay those gains out to
shareholders, increasing their taxable distributions. The Financial
Highlights table at the end of this Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio
turnover rates during recent prior fiscal years.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable adverse market
or economic conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in
temporary investments that are inconsistent with the Funds' principal
investment strategies. Generally they would be cash or cash equivalents,
such as U.S. Treasury Bills and other short-term U.S. government
obligations or high-grade commercial paper. The Fund can also hold these
types of securities pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of
Fund shares or portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of
Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests defensively in these
securities, it might not achieve its investment objectives.

How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its
day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies
established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory
agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement sets the
fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is
responsible to pay to conduct its business.

The Manager has been an investment advisor since January 1960. The Manager
and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $120 billion in
assets as of September 30, 2002, including other Oppenheimer funds with more
than 7 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at 498 Seventh
Avenue, New York, New York 10018.

Portfolio Managers. Since
April 23, 2002, the
Fund has been managed
by a portfolio
management team
comprised of Angelo
Manioudakis and other
investment
professionals selected
from the Manager's
high-grade team in its
fixed-income
department. This
portfolio management
team is primarily
responsible for the
day-to-day management
of the Fund's
portfolio. Mr.
Manioudakis is a Vice
President of the Fund
and Senior Vice
President of the
Manager. Prior to
joining the Manager in
April 2002, Mr.
Manioudakis was a
portfolio manager at
Morgan Stanley
Investment Management
(since August 1993).

Advisory Fees. Under the
investment advisory
agreement, the Fund pays

the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines as the Fund's
assets grow: 0.50% of the first $100 million of average annual net assets
of the Fund, 0.45% of the next $150 million, 0.425% of the next $250
million, and 0.40% of average annual net assets in excess of $500 million.
The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year ended September 30,
2002 was 0.41% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

You can buy shares several ways,
as described below. The Fund's
Distributor, OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., may appoint
servicing agents to accept
purchase (and redemption) orders.
The Distributor, in its sole
discretion, may reject any
purchase order for the Fund's
shares.

BuyingShares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer, broker
or financial institution that has a sales agreement with the Distributor.
Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf.
BuyingShares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds New Account
Application and return it with a check payable to "OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217. If
you don't list a dealer on the application, the Distributor will act as
your agent in buying the shares. However, we recommend that you discuss
your investment with a financial advisor before you make a purchase to be
sure that the Fund is appropriate for you.
Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may be
paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is $2,500. Before
sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department at 1.800.225.5677
to notify the Distributor of the wire and to receive further instructions.
Buying Shares Through
OppenheimerFunds
AccountLink. With AccountLink, you pay for shares by electronic funds
transfers from your bank account. Shares are purchased for your account by
a transfer of money from your bank account through the Automated Clearing
House (ACH) system. You can provide those instructions automatically,
under an Asset Builder Plan, described below, or by telephone instructions
using OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to
"AccountLink," below for more details.
Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the
Fund automatically each month from your account at a bank or other
financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink.
Details are in the Asset Builder Application and the Statement of
Additional Information.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums
available under the following special investment plans:
If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special
Investor Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
By using an Asset Builder o Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are in
the Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment plan,
you can make subsequent investments (after making the initial investment
of $500) for as little as $50. For any type of account established under
one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the minimum additional
investment will remain $25.

Theminimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting dividends
from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them appears in the
Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your dealer or call
the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from unit investment
trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which is
the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. The
offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation
of the net asset value per share that is made after the Distributor receives the
purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after any agent appointed by the
Distributor receives the order.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange, on each day the
Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a "regular
business day"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time,
but may close earlier on some days. All references to time in this
Prospectus mean "Eastern time."

The net asset value per share is determined 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. To determine net asset value, the Fund's Board
of Trustees has established procedures to value the Fund's securities, in
general, based on market value. The Board has adopted special procedures
for valuing illiquid and restricted securities and obligations for which
market values cannot be readily obtained.

If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by
the Fund is traded, and before the time the Fund's securities are priced
that day, an event occurs that the Manager deems likely to cause a
material change in the value of such security, the Fund's Board of
Trustees has authorized the Manager, subject to the Board's review, to
ascertain a fair value for such security. A security's valuation may
differ depending on the method used for determining value.

The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in
most cases the Distributor or its designated agent must receive your order
by the time of day The New York Stock Exchange closes that day. If your
order is received on a day when the Exchange is closed or after it has
closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined
after your order is received.

BuyingThrough a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must
receive the order by the close of The New York Stock Exchange and transmit
it to the Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's
close of business on a regular business day (normally 5:00 P.M.) to
receive that day's offering price, unless your dealer has made alternative
arrangements with the Distributor. Otherwise, the order will receive the
next offering price that is determined.

----------------------------------
WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund offers investors five
different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to
different expenses and will likely have different share prices. When you buy
shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a class,
your investment will be made in Class A shares.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------

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

Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge (on
investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts for
certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will vary
depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed in
"How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
----------------------------------
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the time
of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you
sell your shares within 5 years of buying them, you will normally pay a
contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent deferred sales charge
varies depending on how long you own your shares, as described in "How Can
You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
----------------------------------

Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the time
of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you
sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will normally pay a
contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy
Class C Shares?" below.
----------------------------------
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain
retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but
you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares
within 18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase of Class N
shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as
described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional
investors that have special agreements with the Distributor.

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is best
suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with
your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much you plan to invest
and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your goals and objectives
change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should
re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider another class of shares.
The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the
different types of sales charges on your investment will vary your investment
results over time.

The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a
recommendation, because each investor's financial considerations are different.
The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and
not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course, these examples are
based on approximations of the effects of current sales charges and expenses
projected over time, and do not detail all of the considerations in selecting a
class of shares. You should analyze your options carefully with your financial
advisor before making that choice.

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs
cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you expect to hold
your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of
shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your choice will
also depend on how much you plan to invest. For example, the reduced sales
charges available for larger purchases of Class A shares may, over time,
offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your investment,
compared to the effect over time of higher class-based expenses on shares
of Class B, Class C or Class N. For retirement plans that qualify to
purchase Class N shares, Class N shares will generally be more
advantageous than Class B and Class C shares.

o Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a long-term
investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment horizon (that
is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six years), you should
probably consider purchasing Class A or Class C shares rather than Class B
shares. That is because of the effect of the Class B contingent deferred
sales charge if you redeem within five years, as well as the effect of the
Class B asset-based sales charge on the investment return for that class
in the short-term. Class C shares might be the appropriate choice
(especially for investments of less than $100,000), because there is no
initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent deferred sales
charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one year.

However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term,
then as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C shares
might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because the annual
asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on
your account over the longer term than the reduced front-end sales charge
available for larger purchases of Class A shares.

And for non-retirement plan investors who invest $1 million or more, in
most cases Class A shares will be the most advantageous choice, no matter
how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the Distributor
normally will not accept purchase orders of $500,000 or more of Class B
shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a single investor.

Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for
the longer-term, for example for retirement, and do not expect to need
access to your money for seven years or more, Class B shares may be
appropriate.

Are There Differences in Account Features That Matter to You? Some account
features may not be available to Class B, Class C and Class N
shareholders. Other features may not be advisable (because of the effect
of the contingent deferred sales charge) for Class B, Class C and Class N
shareholders. Therefore, you should carefully review how you plan to use
your investment account before deciding which class of shares to buy.

Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C and Class N
shareholders will be reduced by the additional expenses borne by those
classes that are not borne by Class A or Class Y shares, such as the Class
B, Class C and Class N asset-based sales charge described below and in the
Statement of Additional Information. Share certificates are only available
for Class A shares. If you are considering using your shares as collateral
for a loan, that may be a factor to consider.

How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Broker? A financial advisor may
receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for
selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B, Class C
and Class N contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales
charges have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of
Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses
it pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling shares. The
Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own resources to
securities dealers or financial institutions based upon the value of
shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for its
own account or for its customers.

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information details the conditions for the waiver of sales charges
that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates that apply to
purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or under specified retirement
plan arrangements or in other special types of transactions. To receive a waiver
or special sales charge rate, you must advise the Distributor when purchasing
shares or the Transfer Agent when redeeming shares that a special condition
applies.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering price,
which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge. However, in some
cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an initial sales charge,
and the offering price will be the net asset value. In other cases, reduced
sales charges may be available, as described below or in the Statement of
Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest, the Fund receives the net
asset value to invest for your account.

The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A
portion of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or allocated to
your dealer as a concession. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow the
entire concession to dealers. The current sales charge rates and concessions
paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:

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

Front-End Sales Front-End Sales
Charge As a Charge As a Concession As
Percentage of Percentage of Net Percentage of
Amount of Purchase Offering Price Amount Invested Offering Price

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $100,000 3.50% 3.63% 3.00%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$100,000 or more but 3.00% 3.09% 2.50%

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$500,000 or more but 2.00% 2.04% 1.50%
less than $1 million
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A
shares at reduced sales charge rates under the Fund's "Right of
Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales
Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on
purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds
aggregating $1 million or more, or for certain purchases by particular
types of retirement plans that were permitted to purchase such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"). Retirement
plans are not permitted to make initial purchases of Class A shares
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The Distributor pays
dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.50% of purchases of
$1 million or more other than by grandfathered retirement accounts. For
grandfathered retirement accounts, the concession is 0.75% of the first
$2.5 million of purchases plus 0.25% of purchases in excess of $2.5
million. In either case, the concession will not be paid on purchases of
shares by exchange or that were previously subject to a front-end sales
charge and dealer concession.

If you redeem any of those shares within an 18-month "holding period"
measured from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent deferred
sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds. That sales
charge will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser of:

o the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of
redemption (excluding shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends or
capital gain distributions) or
o the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.

The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the aggregate
amount of the concessions the Distributor paid to your dealer on all
purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made that were
subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on
purchases of Class A shares of any one or more Oppenheimer funds by
retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that
have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor and by
retirement plans which are part of a retirement plan product or platform
offered by certain banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance
companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special agreement
with the Distributor. The Distributor currently pays dealers of record
concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase price of Class A
shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at the time of
sale, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Statement of
Additional Information. There is no contingent deferred sales charge upon
the redemption of such shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES? Class B shares are sold at net asset value per
share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are redeemed
within five years from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds.
The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the
Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related services to the
Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the
number of years since you invested and the dollar amount being redeemed,
according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred sales
charge holding period:

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

Years Since Beginning of Month in Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Redemptions in That Year
Which Purchase Order was Accepted (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)

---------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1 4.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2 3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3 2.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4 2.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5 1.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

More than 5 None

---------------------------------------
In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period. In applying the contingent deferred
sales charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the first
regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to
Class A shares 72 months after you purchase them. This conversion feature
relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge that applies
to Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and Service Plan,
described below. The conversion is based on the relative net asset value
of the two classes, and no sales load or other charge is imposed. When any
Class B shares that you hold convert, any other Class B shares that were
acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions on the converted
shares will also convert to Class A shares. For further information on the
conversion feature and its tax implications, see "Class B Conversion" in
the Statement of Additional Information.

How Can you Buy Class C Shares? Class C shares are sold at net asset value per
share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed
within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the calendar month of
their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from
the redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge is paid to
compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related
services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS N SHARES? Class N shares are offered for sale to
retirement plans (including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that purchase $500,000 or
more of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds or to group retirement
plans (which do not include IRAs and 403(b) plans) that have assets of $500,000
or more or 100 or more eligible participants. See "Availability of Class N
shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for other circumstances where
Class N shares are available for purchase.

A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the
redemption of Class N shares, if: o The group retirement plan 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
o With respect to an IRA 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.

Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on plan
participant accounts. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and
transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the time those
orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent in Colorado) and
the special account features applicable to purchasers of those other classes of
shares described elsewhere in this Prospectus do not apply to Class N shares
offered through a group retirement plan. Instructions for buying, selling,
exchanging or transferring Class N shares offered through a group retirement
plan must be submitted by the plan, not by plan participants for whose benefit
the shares are held.

Who Can Buy Class Y Shares? Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share
without a sales charge directly to institutional investors that have special
agreements with the Distributor for this purpose. They may include insurance
companies, registered investment companies and employee benefit plans.
Individual investors cannot buy Class Y shares directly.

An institutional investor that buys Class Y shares for its customers'
accounts may impose charges on those accounts. The procedures for buying,
selling, exchanging and transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other
than the time those orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent
at their Colorado office) and the special account features available to
investors buying those other classes of shares do not apply to Class Y shares.
Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class Y shares must
be submitted by the institutional investor, not by its customers for whose
benefit the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

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 service and maintenance of
accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. With respect to
Class A shares subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge
purchased by grandfathered retirement accounts, the Distributor pays the
0.25% service fee to dealers in advance for the first year after the
shares are sold by the dealer. After the shares have been held for a year,
the Distributor pays the service fee to dealers on a quarterly basis.

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 pay the Distributor for its services and costs in distributing
Class B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing accounts. Under the
plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of
0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The
Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under the Class
B, Class C and Class N plans.

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

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

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 2.75% of the purchase
price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of
sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by
the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class B shares is
therefore 3.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains the Class B
asset-based sales charge. See the Statement of Additional Information for
exceptions.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase
price of Class C shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of
sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by
the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class C shares is
therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor pays the asset-based
sales charge as an ongoing concession to the dealer on Class C shares that
have been outstanding for a year or more. See the Statement of Additional
Information for exceptions.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the
purchase price of Class N shares to dealers from its own resources at the
time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount
paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class N
shares is therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains
the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares.
See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

Agent. AccountLink privileges will apply to each shareholder listed in the
registration on your account as well as to your dealer representative of record
unless and until the Transfer Agent receives written instructions terminating or
changing those privileges. After you establish AccountLink for your account, any
change of bank account information must be made by signature-guaranteed
instructions to the Transfer Agent signed by all shareholders who own the
account.

PHONELINK. PhoneLink is the OppenheimerFunds automated telephone system that
enables shareholders to perform a number of account transactions automatically
using a touch-tone phone. PhoneLink may be used on already-established Fund
accounts after you obtain a Personal Identification Number (PIN), by calling the
PhoneLink number, 1.800.225.5677. Purchasing Shares. You may purchase shares in
amounts up to $100,000 by
phone, by calling 1.800.225.5677. You must have established AccountLink
privileges to link your bank account with the Fund to pay for these
purchases.

Exchanging Shares. With the OppenheimerFunds Exchange Privilege, described
below, you can exchange shares automatically by phone from your Fund
account to another OppenheimerFunds account you have already established
by calling the special PhoneLink number.
Selling Shares. You can redeem shares by telephone automatically by calling the
PhoneLink number and the Fund will send the proceeds directly to your
AccountLink bank account. Please refer to "How to Sell Shares," below for
details.

CAN YOU SUBMIT TRANSACTION REQUESTS BY FAX? You may send requests for certain
types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax (telecopier). Please
call 1.800.225.5677 for information about which transactions may be handled this
way. Transaction requests submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and
restrictions as written and telephone requests described in this Prospectus.

OPPENHEIMERFUNDS INTERNET WEBSITE. You can obtain information about the Fund, as
well as your account balance, on the OppenheimerFunds Internet website, at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Additionally, shareholders listed in the account
registration (and the dealer of record) may request certain account transactions
through a special section of that website. To perform account transactions or
obtain account information online, you must first obtain a user I.D. and
password on that website. If you do not want to have Internet account
transaction capability for your account, please call the Transfer Agent at
1.800.225.5677. At times, the website may be inaccessible or its transaction
features may be unavailable.

AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL AND EXCHANGE PLANS. The Fund has several plans that enable
you to sell shares automatically or exchange them to another OppenheimerFunds
account on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or consult the
Statement of Additional Information for details.

REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE If you redeem some or all of your Class A or Class B
shares of the Fund, you have up to six months to reinvest all or part of the
redemption proceeds in Class A shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds
without paying a sales charge. This privilege applies only to Class A shares
that you purchased subject to an initial sales charge and to Class A or Class B
shares on which you paid a contingent deferred sales charge when you redeemed
them. This privilege does not apply to Class C, Class N or Class Y shares. You
must be sure to ask the Distributor for this privilege when you send your
payment.

RETIREMENT PLANS. You may buy shares of the Fund for your retirement plan
account. If you participate in a plan sponsored by your employer, the plan
trustee or administrator must buy the shares for your plan account. The
Distributor also offers a number of different retirement plans that individuals
and employers can use:
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs,
SIMPLE IRAs and rollover IRAs.
SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business
owners or self-employed individuals.
403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of
eligible tax-exempt organizations, such as schools, hospitals and
charitable organizations.
401(k)Plans. These are special retirement plans for businesses. Pension and
Profit-Sharing Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and
self-employed individuals.
Please call the Distributor for OppenheimerFunds retirement plan
documents, which include applications and important plan information.

How to Sell Shares

You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day.
Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your order
is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with the procedures
described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent. The Fund lets you sell
your shares by writing a letter, by wire, by using the Fund's checkwriting
privilege, or by telephone. You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal Plans to
redeem shares on a regular basis. If you have questions about any of these
procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in a special situation,
such as due to the death of the owner or from a retirement plan account, please
call the Transfer Agent first, at 1.800.225.5677, for assistance.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from
fraud, the following redemption requests must be in writing and must
include a signature guarantee (although there may be other situations that
also require a signature guarantee):
o You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check o The redemption
check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the
account statement
o The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your
account statement
o Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner
or name
o Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the
owners.

Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of financial institutions,
including:
o a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities
or government securities, or
o a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities
association or a clearing agency.
If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other
business or as a fiduciary, you must also include your title in the
signature.

Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an
OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account. Call the Transfer Agent for a
distribution request form. Special income tax withholding requirements
apply to distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a
withholding form with your redemption request to avoid delay in getting
your money and if you do not want tax withheld. If your employer holds
your retirement plan account for you in the name of the plan, you must ask
the plan trustee or administrator to request the sale of the Fund shares
in your plan account.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your money by
check, you can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell sent by
Federal Funds wire to a bank account you designate. It must be a
commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. The
minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a $10 fee
for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on your account
or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677.

Checkwriting. To write checks against your Fund account, request that privilege
on your account application, or contact the Transfer Agent for signature cards.
They must be signed (with a signature guarantee) by all owners of the account
and returned to the Transfer Agent so that checks can be sent to you to use.
Shareholders with joint accounts can elect in writing to have checks paid over
the signature of one owner. If you previously signed a signature card to
establish checkwriting in another Oppenheimer fund, simply call 1.800.225.5677
to request checkwriting for an account in this Fund with the same registration
as the other account. o Checks can be written to the order of whomever you wish,
but may not be
cashed at the bank the checks are payable through or the Fund's custodian
bank.
o Checkwriting privileges are not available for accounts holding shares that
are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
o Checks must be written for at least $500. Checks written below the stated
amount on the check will not be accepted. However, if you have existing
checks indicating a $100 minimum, you may still use them for amounts of
$100 or more.
o Checks cannot be paid if they are written for more than your account
value. Remember, your shares fluctuate in value and you should not write a
check close to the total account value.
o You may not write a check that would require the Fund to redeem shares
that were purchased by check or Asset Builder Plan payments within the
prior 10 days.
o Don't use your checks if you changed your Fund account number, until you
receive new checks.

HOWDO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction that includes: o
Your name o The Fund's name o Your Fund account number (from your account
statement) o The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed o Any
special payment instructions o Any share certificates for the shares you are
selling o The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is
registered, and
o Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper
authorization of the person asking to sell the shares.

requests by mail: requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services OppenheimerFunds Services
P.O. Box 5270 10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver Colorado 80217 Denver, Colorado 80231

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of
record may also sell your shares by telephone. To receive the redemption price
calculated on a particular regular business day, your call must be received by
the Transfer Agent by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day, which
is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be earlier on some days. You may not redeem
shares held in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account or under a share
certificate by telephone.

o To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on
PhoneLink, call 1.800.225.5677. Whichever method you use, you may have a
check sent to the address on

the account statement, or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank
account on AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check. Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by

telephone in any seven-day period. The check must be payable to all owners
of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the account
statement. This service is not available within 30 days of changing the
address on an account.

Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink or by Wire. There are no dollar limits
on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account designated when
you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is
initiated on the business day after the redemption. You do not receive
dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while they are
waiting to be transferred.

If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account, the
wire of the redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the next
bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a possibility
that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the Fund to sell
securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends are accrued or
paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed and are awaiting
transmittal by wire.

CAN YOU SELL SHARES THROUGH your DEALER? The Distributor has made arrangements
to repurchase Fund shares from dealers and brokers on behalf of their customers.
Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your shares are held in the
name of your dealer, you must redeem them through your dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT REDEMPTIONS. If you purchase shares
subject to a Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales
charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable holding period for
the class of shares, the contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from
the redemption proceeds (unless you are eligible for a waiver of that sales
charge based on the categories listed in Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information and you advise the Transfer Agent of your eligibility for
the waiver when you place your redemption request.)

A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net
asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original net
asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
the amount of your account value represented by an increase in net asset
value over the initial purchase price,
shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains
distributions, or
shares redeemed in the special circumstances described in Appendix C to
the Statement of Additional Information.
To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions,
2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and 3.
shares held the longest during the holding period.

Contingent deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange shares
of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange them
within the applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding period, the
holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you acquire. Similarly,
if you acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging shares of another Oppenheimer
fund that are still subject to a contingent deferred sales charge holding
period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds at
net asset value per share at the time of exchange, without sales charge. Shares
of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other Oppenheimer funds on
the same basis. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:
o Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in
your state of residence.
o The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege. o You
must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at

least seven days before you can exchange them. After the account is open
seven days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.

o You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares
you purchase by exchange.
o Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.
Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for
shares of the same class in the other Oppenheimer funds. For example, you can
exchange Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. In
some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax
purposes, exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own
and a purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result in a capital
gain or loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of
Additional Information for more details.

You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for exchanges
in the Statement of Additional Information or obtain one by calling a service
representative at 1.800.225.5677. That list can change from time to time.

HOW DO you SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing or
by telephone:

Written Exchange Requests. Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form,
signed by all owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at the
address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under certificates
cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates
with the request.

Telephone Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either by
calling a service representative or by using PhoneLink for automated
exchanges by calling 1.800.225.5677. Telephone exchanges may be made only
between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.
Shares held under certificates may not be exchanged by telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you
should be aware of:
Shares are normally redeemed from one fund and purchased from the other fund
in the exchange transaction on the same regular business day on which the
Transfer Agent receives an exchange request that conforms to the policies
described above. It must be received by the close of The New York Stock
Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some
days. However, either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the fund
you are exchanging into up to seven days if it determines it would be
disadvantaged by the same day exchange.

Theinterests of the Fund's long-term shareholders and its ability to manage
its investments may be adversely affected when its shares are repeatedly
bought and sold in response to short-term market fluctuations--also known
as "market timing." When large dollar amounts are involved, the Fund may
have difficulty implementing long-term investment strategies, because it
cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. Market timing also
may force the Fund to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous times
to raise the cash needed to buy a market timer's Fund shares. These
factors may hurt the Fund's performance and its shareholders. When the
Manager believes frequent trading would have a disruptive effect on the
Fund's ability to manage its investments, the Manager and the Fund may
reject purchase orders and exchanges into the Fund by any person, group or
account that the Manager believes to be a market timer.

o The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by
applicable law, but it may impose changes at any time for emergency
purposes.
o If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because
of a restriction cited above, only the shares eligible for exchange will
be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling
and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. A
$12 annual fee is assessed on any account valued at less than $500. The fee
is automatically deducted from accounts annually on or about the second to
last business day of September. See the Statement of Additional
Information, or visit the OppenheimerFunds website, to learn how you can
avoid this fee and for circumstances when this fee will not be assessed.

The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the
determination of net asset value is suspended, and the offering may be
suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it is in
the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be
modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will
provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. If
an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may
rely on the instructions of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply to
each owner of the account and the dealer representative of record for the
account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation instructions from
an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning
transactions and has adopted other procedures to confirm that telephone
instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax
identification numbers and other account data or by using PINs, and by
confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and the Fund
will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone
instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent
receives all required documents in proper form. From time to time, the
Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements for
redemptions stated in this Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in
NETWORKING through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are
responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to perform those
transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders of
the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value of
the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption price,
which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for each
class of shares. The redemption value of your shares may be more or less
than their original cost.

Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by
check, or through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by the
shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives
redemption instructions in proper form. However, under unusual
circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
payment may be delayed or suspended. For accounts registered in the name
of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within three
business days after redemption.
The Transfer Agent may delay processing any type of redemption payment as
described under "How to Sell Shares" for recently purchased shares, but
only until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as
10 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided
if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check, or
arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written assurance to the
Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account
value has fallen below $200 for reasons other than the fact that the
market value of shares has dropped. In some cases, involuntary redemptions
may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of
share purchase orders.

Sharesmay be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of
liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means that
the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from the
Fund's portfolio.
"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable
dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges) if
you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security or
Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if you
under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will
mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and
annual notice of the Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having the same
last name and address on the Fund's records. The consolidation of these
mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing
expense.

If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call
the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677. You may also notify the Transfer
Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy
notices will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the Transfer
Agent receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net investment income on each regular business day and to pay those
dividends to shareholders monthly on a date selected by the Board of Trustees.
Daily dividends will not be declared or paid on newly-purchased shares until
Federal Funds are available to the Fund from the purchase payment for the
shares. The Fund cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividend or
distributions. Dividends and distributions paid on Class A and Class Y shares
will generally be higher than dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares,
which normally have higher expenses than Class A and Class Y.

The Fund attempts to pay dividends on Class A shares at a constant level.
There is no assurance that it will be able to do so. The Board of Trustees may
change the targeted dividend rate at any time without prior notice to
shareholders. The amount of those dividends and the dividends paid on the Fund's
other classes of shares may vary over time, depending on market conditions, the
composition of the Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the particular class
of shares.

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

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your
account, specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends and
distributions. You have four options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends
and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some
distributions (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term capital
gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of
distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through
AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all
dividends and capital gains distributions or have them sent to your bank
through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can
reinvest all distributions in the same class of shares of another
OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you
should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in the Fund.
Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state or
local taxes. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net investment
income are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are taxable as
long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It does not matter how
long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your distributions in
additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

Mutual fund distributions of interest income from U.S. government
securities are generally free from state and local income taxes. However,
particular states may limit that benefit, and some types of securities, such as
repurchase agreements and asset-backed securities, may not qualify for that
benefit.

Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable distribution you received in the previous year. Any
long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the
Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

Avoid "Buying a Dividend." If you buy shares on or just before the Fund declares
a capital gains distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares
and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable capital gain.

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices
fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange
your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between the price
you paid for the shares and the price you received when you sold them. Any
capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund
may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders. If that
occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax
information about your investment. You should consult with your tax advisor
about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's
financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information
reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an
investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the
Fund's independent auditors, whose report, along with the Fund's financial
statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is
available on request.

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

|X| U.S. Government Securities. The obligations of U.S. government
agencies or instrumentalities in which the Fund may invest may or may not be
guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of the United States.
"Full faith and credit" means generally that the taxing power of the U.S.
government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a
security. If a security is not backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States, the owner of the security must look principally to the agency issuing
the obligation for repayment. The owner might not be able to assert a claim
against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet
its commitment. The Fund will invest in securities of U.S. government agencies
and instrumentalities only if the Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with
respect to such instrumentality is minimal.

With its objective of seeking high current return and safety of principal,
the Fund may purchase or sell securities without regard to the length of time
the security has been held, to take advantage of short-term differentials in
yields. While short-term trading increases portfolio turnover, the execution
cost for U.S. Government Securities is substantially less than for equivalent
dollar values of equity securities (see "Brokerage Provisions of the Investment
Advisory Agreement," below).

|X| Duration of the Fund's Portfolio. The Fund can invest in debt
securities of any maturity or duration but currently has an operating policy to
maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio duration of not more than
3 years. The goal is to try to manage the sensitivity of the Fund's portfolio to
changes in interest rates, and in doing so to manage the volatility of the
Fund's share prices in response to those changes. However, unanticipated events
may change the effective duration of a security after the Fund buys it, and
there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its targeted duration at
all times.

The Manager determines the effective duration of debt obligations
purchased by the Fund considering various factors that apply to a particular
type of debt obligation, including those described below. Duration is a measure
of the expected life of a security on a current-value basis expressed in years,
using calculations that consider the security's yield, coupon interest payments,
final maturity and call features.

While a debt security's maturity can be used to measure the sensitivity of
the security's price to changes in interest rates, the term to maturity of a
security does not take into account the pattern (or expected pattern) of the
security's payments of interest or principal prior to maturity. Duration, on the
other hand, measures the length of the time interval from the present to the
time when the interest and principal payments are scheduled to be received (or,
in the case of a mortgage-related security, when the interest payments are
expected to be received). Duration calculations weigh them by the present value
of the cash to be received at each future point in time. If the interest
payments on a debt security occur prior to the repayment of principal, the
duration of the security is less than its stated maturity. For zero-coupon
securities, duration and term to maturity are equal.

Absent other factors, the lower the stated or coupon rate of interest on a
debt security or the longer the maturity or the lower the yield-to-maturity of
the debt security, the longer the duration of the security. Conversely, the
higher the stated or coupon rate of interest, the shorter the maturity or the
higher the yield-to-maturity of a debt security, the shorter the duration of the
security.

Futures, options and options on futures in general have durations that are
closely related to the duration of the securities that underlie them. Holding
long futures positions or call option positions (backed by liquid assets) will
tend to lengthen the portfolio's duration.

In some cases the standard effective duration calculation does not
properly reflect the interest rate exposure of a security. For example, floating
and variable rate securities often have final maturities of ten or more years.
However, their exposure to interest rate changes corresponds to the frequency of
the times at which their interest coupon rate is reset. In the case of mortgage
pass-through securities, the stated final maturity of the security is typically
30 years, but current rates or prepayments are more important to determine the
security's interest rate exposure. In these and other similar situations, the
Manager will use other analytical techniques that consider the economic life of
the security as well as relevant macroeconomic factors (such as historical
prepayment rates) in determining the Fund's effective duration.

|X| Mortgage-Related Securities. Mortgage-related securities are a form of
derivative investment collateralized by pools of commercial or residential
mortgages. Pools of mortgage loans are assembled as securities for sale to
investors by government agencies or instrumentalities or by private issuers.
These securities include collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), mortgage
pass-through securities, stripped mortgage pass-through securities, interests in
real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") and other real
estate-related securities.

Mortgage-related securities that are issued or guaranteed by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. government have relatively little credit risk
(depending on the nature of the issuer) but are subject to interest rate risks
and prepayment risks, as described in the Prospectus. Mortgage-related
securities issued by private issuers have greater credit risk.

As with other debt securities, the prices of mortgage-related securities
tend to move inversely to changes in interest rates. The Fund can buy
mortgage-related securities that have interest rates that move inversely to
changes in general interest rates, based on a multiple of a specific index.
Although the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when interest
rates rise, the converse is not always the case.

In periods of declining interest rates, mortgages are more likely to be
prepaid. Therefore, a mortgage-related security's maturity can be shortened by
unscheduled prepayments on the underlying mortgages, and it is not possible to
predict accurately the security's yield. The principal that is returned earlier
than expected may have to be reinvested in other investments having a lower
yield than the prepaid security. As a result, these securities may be less
effective as a means of "locking in" attractive long-term interest rates, and
they may have less potential for appreciation during periods of declining
interest rates, than conventional bonds with comparable stated maturities.

Prepayment risks can lead to substantial fluctuations in the value of a
mortgage-related security. In turn, this can affect the value of the Fund's
shares. If a mortgage-related security has been purchased at a premium, all or
part of the premium the Fund paid may be lost if there is a decline in the
market value of the security, whether that results from interest rate changes or
prepayments on the underlying mortgages. In the case of stripped
mortgage-related securities, if they experience greater rates of prepayment than
were anticipated, the Fund may fail to recoup its initial investment on the
security.

During periods of rapidly rising interest rates, prepayments of
mortgage-related securities may occur at slower than expected rates. Slower
prepayments effectively may lengthen a mortgage-related security's expected
maturity. Generally, that would cause the value of the security to fluctuate
more widely in responses to changes in interest rates. If the prepayments on the
Fund's mortgage-related securities were to decrease broadly, the Fund's
effective duration, and therefore its sensitivity to interest rate changes,
would increase.

As with other debt securities, the values of mortgage-related securities
may be affected by changes in the market's perception of the creditworthiness of
the entity issuing the securities or guaranteeing them. Their values may also be
affected by changes in government regulations and tax policies.

o Forward Rolls. The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions with
respect to mortgage-related securities (also referred to as "mortgage dollar
rolls"). In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security
to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (the same
type of security, and having the same coupon and maturity) at a later date at a
set price. The securities that are repurchased will have the same interest rate
as the securities that are sold, but typically will be collateralized by
different pools of mortgages (with different prepayment histories) than the
securities that have been sold. Proceeds from the sale are invested in
short-term instruments, such as repurchase agreements. The income from those
investments, plus the fees from the forward roll transaction, are expected to
generate income to the Fund in excess of the yield on the securities that have
been sold.

The Fund will only enter into "covered" rolls. To assure its future
payment of the purchase price, the Fund will identify on its books liquid assets
in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.

These transactions have risks. During the period between the sale and the
repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal
payments on the securities that have been sold. It is possible that the market
value of the securities the Fund sells may decline below the price at which the
Fund is obligated to repurchase securities.

o Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. CMOs are multi-class bonds that
are backed by pools of mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through certificates.
They may be collateralized by:
(1) pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by Ginnie
Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac,
(2) unsecuritized mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing
Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans'
Affairs,
(3) unsecuritized conventional mortgages, (4) other
mortgage-related securities, or (5) any combination of
these.

Each class of CMO, referred to as a "tranche," is issued at a specific
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date. Principal
prepayments on the underlying mortgages may cause the CMO to be retired much
earlier than the stated maturity or final distribution date. The principal and
interest on the underlying mortgages may be allocated among the several classes
of a series of a CMO in different ways. One or more tranches may have coupon
rates that reset periodically at a specified increase over an index. These are
floating rate CMOs, and typically have a cap on the coupon rate. Inverse
floating rate CMOs have a coupon rate that moves in the opposite direction of an
applicable index. The coupon rate on these CMOs will increase as general
interest rates decrease. These are usually much more volatile than fixed rate
CMOs or floating rate CMOs.

U.S. Government Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund can invest in
a
variety of mortgage-related securities that are issued by U.S. government
agencies or instrumentalities, some of which are described below.

o GNMA Certificates. The Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") is a
wholly-owned corporate instrumentality of the United States within the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA's principal programs involve
its guarantees of privately-issued securities backed by pools of mortgages.
Ginnie Maes are debt securities representing an interest in one mortgage or a
pool of mortgages that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the
Farmers Home Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration

The Ginnie Maes in which the Fund invests are of the "fully modified
pass-through" type. They provide that the registered holders of the Ginnie Maes
will receive timely monthly payments of the pro-rata share of the scheduled
principal payments on the underlying mortgages, whether or not those amounts are
collected by the issuers. Amounts paid include, on a pro rata basis, any
prepayment of principal of such mortgages and interest (net of servicing and
other charges) on the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Ginnie Maes,
whether or not the interest on the underlying mortgages has been collected by
the issuers.

The Ginnie Maes purchased by the Fund are guaranteed as to timely payment
of principal and interest by GNMA. In giving that guaranty, GNMA expects that
payments received by the issuers of Ginnie Maes on account of the mortgages
backing the Ginnie Maes will be sufficient to make the required payments of
principal of and interest on those Ginnie Maes. However, if those payments are
insufficient, the guaranty agreements between the issuers of the Ginnie Maes and
GNMA require the issuers to make advances sufficient for the payments. If the
issuers fail to make those payments, GNMA will do so.

Under Federal law, the full faith and credit of the United States is
pledged to the payment of all amounts that may be required to be paid under any
guaranty issued by GNMA as to such mortgage pools. An opinion of an Assistant
Attorney General of the United States, dated December 9, 1969, states that such
guaranties "constitute general obligations of the United States backed by its
full faith and credit." GNMA is empowered to borrow from the United States
Treasury to the extent necessary to make any payments of principal and interest
required under those guaranties.

Ginnie Maes are backed by the aggregate indebtedness secured by the
underlying FHA-insured, FMHA-insured or VA-guaranteed mortgages. Except to the
extent of payments received by the issuers on account of such mortgages, Ginnie
Maes do not constitute a liability of those issuers, nor do they evidence any
recourse against those issuers. Recourse is solely against GNMA. Holders of
Ginnie Maes (such as the Fund) have no security interest in or lien on the
underlying mortgages.

Monthly payments of principal will be made, and additional prepayments of
principal may be made, to the Fund with respect to the mortgages underlying the
Ginnie Maes owned by the Fund. All of the mortgages in the pools relating to the
Ginnie Maes in the Fund are subject to prepayment without any significant
premium or penalty, at the option of the mortgagors. While the mortgages on
1-to-4-family dwellings underlying certain Ginnie Maes have a stated maturity of
up to 30 years, it has been the experience of the mortgage industry that the
average life of comparable mortgages, as a result of prepayments, refinancing
and payments from foreclosures, is considerably less.

o Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") Certificates. FHLMC, a
corporate instrumentality of the United States, issues FHLMC Certificates
representing interests in mortgage loans. FHLMC guarantees to each registered
holder of a FHLMC Certificate timely payment of the amounts representing a
holder's proportionate share in:
(i) interest payments less servicing and guarantee fees, (ii) principal
prepayments, and (iii) the ultimate collection of amounts representing the
holder's
proportionate interest in principal payments on the mortgage
loans in the pool represented by the FHLMC Certificate, in
each case whether or not such amounts are actually received.

The obligations of FHLMC under its guarantees are obligations solely of
FHLMC and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or
any of its agencies or instrumentalities other than FHLMC.

o Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Certificates. Fannie Mae, a
federally-chartered and privately-owned corporation, issues Fannie Mae
Certificates which are backed by a pool of mortgage loans. Fannie Mae guarantees
to each registered holder of a Fannie Mae Certificate that the holder will
receive amounts representing the holder's proportionate interest in scheduled
principal and interest payments, and any principal prepayments, on the mortgage
loans in the pool represented by such Certificate, less servicing and guarantee
fees, and the holder's proportionate interest in the full principal amount of
any foreclosed or other liquidated mortgage loan. In each case the guarantee
applies whether or not those amounts are actually received. The obligations of
Fannie Mae under its guarantees are obligations solely of Fannie Mae and are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or any of its agencies
or instrumentalities other than Fannie Mae.

|X| Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities. The Fund can buy U.S.
Treasury securities, called "TIPS," which are designed to provide an investment
vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The interest rate paid by TIPS is
fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually based on changes in the
published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs, the principal and interest
payments on TIPS are adjusted to protect investors from inflationary loss. If
deflation occurs, the principal and interest payments will be adjusted downward,
although the principal will not fall below its face amount at maturity.

|X| Zero-Coupon U.S. Government Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon
U.S. government securities. These will typically be U.S. Treasury Notes and
Bonds that have been stripped of their unmatured interest coupons, the coupons
themselves, or certificates representing interests in those stripped debt
obligations and coupons.

Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are sold
at a deep discount from their face value at maturity. The buyer recognizes a
rate of return determined by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is
redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date. This discount depends on
the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing interest rates, the
liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the issuer. The discount
typically decreases as the maturity date approaches.

Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound semi-annually
at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is generally more
volatile than the value of other debt securities that pay interest. Their value
may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when
interest rates rise. When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities
tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate of return.

The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to
recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any
cash payments on the zero-coupon investment. To generate cash to satisfy those
distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities that
it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other
sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

|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. Increased portfolio turnover could create higher
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.

|X| Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. When market conditions
are unstable, or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce
holdings in stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of debt securities for
defensive purposes. The Fund can also purchase these securities for liquidity
purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of Fund shares, or to hold
while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio
securities. The Fund's temporary defensive investments can include the following
short-term (maturing in one year or less) dollar-denominated debt obligations:
o obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its
instrumentalities or agencies,
o commercial paper (short-term, unsecured promissory notes) rated in the
highest rating category by an established rating organization,
o debt obligations of domestic or foreign corporate issuers rated "Baa"
or higher by Moody's or "BBB" or higher by Standard & Poor's,
o certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances and other bank
obligations, 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.

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

|X| "Stripped" Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund may invest in
stripped mortgage-related securities that are created by segregating the cash
flows from underlying mortgage loans or mortgage securities to create two or
more new securities. Each has a specified percentage of the underlying
security's principal or interest payments. These are a form of derivative
investment.

Mortgage securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives
some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped. In
that case all of the interest is distributed to holders of one type of security,
known as an "interest-only" security, or "I/O," and all of the principal is
distributed to holders of another type of security, known as a "principal-only"
security or "P/O." Strips can be created for pass-through certificates or CMOs.

The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very sensitive to principal
repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages. If the
underlying mortgages experience greater than anticipated prepayments of
principal, the Fund might not fully recoup its investment in an I/O based on
those assets. If underlying mortgages experience less than anticipated
prepayments of principal, the yield on the P/Os based on them could decline
substantially.

|X| Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can acquire securities subject to
repurchase agreements. It might do so
o for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated repurchases of Fund shares,
or
o pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of Fund shares, or
o pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions, or 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, 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. As a fundamental policy, the Fund
requires that the ownership and control of the securities subject to a
repurchase agreement must be transferred to the Fund. However, if the vendor
fails to pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in
disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in
its ability to do so. The Manager will monitor the vendor's creditworthiness to
confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will monitor the collateral's
value on an ongoing basis.

The Fund's investments in repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven (7) days are limited by the Fund's restriction on illiquid and restricted
securities as stated in the Prospectus. The Fund has no limit on investments in
repurchase agreements maturing in less than 7 days.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, 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 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 of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

|X| Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can use reverse repurchase
agreements as a cash management tool, but not as a source of leverage for
investing. It does not currently use reverse repurchase agreements, but may do
so in the future. When the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it
segregates on its books an amount of cash or U.S. government securities equal in
value to the purchase price of the securities it has committed to buy, plus
accrued interest, until the payment is made to the seller. As a fundamental
policy, the Fund will not enter into a reverse repurchase agreement unless the
securities that collateralize the transaction have a maturity date not later
than the settlement date of the transaction. Before the Fund enters into a
reverse repurchase agreement, the Manager evaluates the creditworthiness of the
seller, typically a bank or broker-dealer.

|X| "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. The Fund can purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis, and may purchase or sell such securities on
a "delayed-delivery" basis. "When-issued" or "delayed-delivery" refers to
securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market
exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery.

When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made. Delivery
and payment for the securities take place at a later date. As a fundamental
policy, the Fund will not enter into such transactions unless the settlement
date is within 120 days of the trade date and is settled in cash on the
settlement date. The securities are subject to change in value from market
fluctuations during the period until settlement. The value at delivery may be
less than the purchase price. For example, changes in interest rates in a
direction other than that expected by the Manager before settlement will affect
the value of such securities and may cause a loss to the Fund. During the period
between purchase and settlement, the Fund makes no payment to the issuer and no
interest accrues to the Fund from the investment until it receives the security
at settlement. There is a risk of loss to the Fund if the value of the security
changes prior to the settlement date, and there is the risk that the other party
may not perform.

The Fund may engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the Manager
considers to be an advantageous price and yield at the time the obligation is
entered into. When the Fund enters into a when-issued or delayed-delivery
transaction, it relies on the other party to complete the transaction. Its
failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain the
security at a price and yield the Manager considers to be advantageous.

When the Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions, it
does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities consistent with its
investment objective and policies for its portfolio or for delivery pursuant to
options contracts it has entered into, and not for the purposes of investment
leverage. Although the Fund will enter into when-issued or delayed-delivery
purchase transactions to acquire securities, the Fund may dispose of a
commitment prior to settlement. If the Fund chooses to dispose of the right to
acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or to dispose of its
right to deliver or receive against a forward commitment, it may incur a gain or
loss.

At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a security
on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the transaction on its
books and reflects the value of the security purchased in determining the Fund's
net asset value. In a sale transaction, it records the proceeds to be received.
The Fund will identify on its books liquid assets at least equal in value to the
value of the Fund's purchase commitments until the Fund pays for the investment.

When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used by the Fund as a
defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and
prices. For instance, in periods of rising interest rates and falling prices,
the Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a forward commitment basis to
attempt to limit its exposure to anticipated falling prices. In periods of
falling interest rates and rising prices, the Fund might sell portfolio
securities and purchase the same or similar securities on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

|X| Loans of Portfolio Securities. To raise cash for liquidity purposes or
income, the Fund can lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other
types of financial institutions approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. These
loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets.
The Fund currently does not intend to engage in loans of securities in the
coming year, but if it does so, such loans will not likely exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets. A policy of the Fund's Board of Trustees limits these loans
to 10% of the Fund's net 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 or 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
finders', 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. The Fund has the ability to borrow from banks and/or
affiliated investment companies on an unsecured basis to invest the borrowed
funds in portfolio securities. If the Fund does borrow, it must do so consistent
with its fundamental policy on borrowing below. Currently, the Fund does not
anticipate that its borrowings would exceed 5% of its net assets.

|X| Derivatives. The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative
investments to seek income or for hedging purposes. A number of these derivative
investments, such as "interest-only" and "principal-only" securities, have been
described above. Some other derivative investments the Fund may use are the
hedging instruments described below in this Statement of Additional Information.

|X| Hedging. Although the Fund does not anticipate the extensive use of
hedging instruments, the Fund can use hedging instruments. The Fund is not
obligated to use hedging instruments, even though it is permitted to use them in
the Manager's discretion, as described below. To attempt to protect against
declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio, to permit the Fund to
retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which have
appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons, the
Fund could:

o sell futures contracts,
o buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o write covered calls on securities or futures. Covered calls 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:
o buy futures, or
o buy calls on such futures or on securities.

The Fund is not obligated to use hedging instruments, even though it is
permitted to use them in the Manager's discretion, as described below. 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.

o Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to debt
securities (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"). 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 at a specified
future date. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close
out the position.

No money 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 are effected through a
clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded.

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

o Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell) covered
calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That means the Fund
must own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding, or, for
certain types of calls, the call may be covered by segregating liquid assets to
enable the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. Up to 25%
of the Fund's 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 the 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.

When the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which will
establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right to
repurchase that OTC option. The formula price will generally be based on a
multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which the
option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security (that
is, the option is "in the money"). When the Fund writes an OTC option, it will
treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid
securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

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.

o Writing Put Options. The Fund can 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 total assets
would be required to be segregated 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 segregated assets or
writing calls against those assets.

As long as the Fund's obligation as the put writer continues, it may be
assigned an exercise notice by the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

o 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 put, 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 might
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.

o Interest Rate Swap Transactions. The Fund can enter into interest rate swap
agreements. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange their
right to receive or their obligation to pay interest on a security. For example,
they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for fixed rate
payments. The Fund can enter into swaps only on securities that it owns. The
Fund will not enter into swaps with respect to more than 25% of its total
assets. Also, the Fund will identify on its books liquid assets (such as cash or
U.S. government securities) to cover any amounts it could owe under swaps that
exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and it will adjust that amount
daily, as needed.

Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There is a
risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the payments made
by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it
received. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will
default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's loss will consist of the net
amount of contractual interest payments that the Fund has not yet received. The
Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Fund's
interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing basis.

The Fund can enter into swap transactions with certain counterparties
pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting agreement provides that
all swaps done between the Fund and that counterparty shall be regarded as parts
of an integral agreement. If amounts are payable on a particular date in the
same currency in respect of one or more swap transactions, the amount payable on
that date in that currency shall be the net amount. In addition, the master
netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally or on one
swap, the counterparty can terminate all of the swaps with that party. Under
these agreements, if a default results in a loss to one party, the measure of
that party's damages is calculated by reference to the average cost of a
replacement swap for each swap. It is measured by the mark-to-market value at
the time of the termination of each swap. The gains and losses on all swaps are
then netted, and the result is the counterparty's gain or loss on termination.
The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and losses on termination
is generally referred to as "aggregation."

o Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. When using futures and options on
futures, the Fund is required to operate within certain guidelines and
restrictions with respect to the use of futures as established by the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). In particular, the Fund is
exempted from registration with the CFTC as a "commodity pool operator" if the
Fund complies with the requirements of Rule 4.5 adopted by the CFTC. The Rule
does not limit the percentage of the Fund's assets that may be used for futures
margin and related options premiums for a bona fide hedging position. However,
under the Rule, the Fund must limit its aggregate initial futures margin and
related options premiums to not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets for
hedging strategies that are not considered bona fide hedging strategies under
the Rule. Under the Rule, the Fund must also use short futures and options on
futures solely for bona fide hedging purposes within the meaning and intent of
the applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act.

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 the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future, it
must maintain cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an
amount equal to the market value of the securities underlying the future, less
the margin deposit applicable to it.

Investment Restrictions

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

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

|X| Does the Fund Have 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 by the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other
investment companies.

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.

o The Fund cannot deviate from any of its other investment policies that are
described as fundamental policies in the Prospectus or this Statement of
Additional Information.

o The Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b)
through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness,
(c) through an inter-fund lending program with other affiliated funds, and (d)
through repurchase agreements.

o The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its total
assets. The Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment
companies.1 With respect to this fundamental policy, the Fund can borrow only if
it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set
forth in the Investment Company Act.

o The Fund cannot purchase or sell real estate, commodities or commodity
contracts. However, the Fund may use hedging instruments approved by its Board
of Trustees whether or not those hedging instruments are considered commodities
or commodity contracts.

o The Fund cannot underwrite securities. 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 issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit certain
investment activities for which assets of the Fund are designated as segregated,
or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the
related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money,
reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for
portfolio securities transactions, contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging
instruments, options, or futures.

|X| Does the Fund Have Additional Restrictions That Are Not "Fundamental" |X|
Policies? The Fund has additional operating policies which are stated below,
that are not "fundamental," and which can be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.

o The Fund cannot invest in securities of other investment companies, except if
it acquires them as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets.

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. 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, the
Fund has adopted the industry classifications set forth in Appendix B to this
Statement of Additional Information. This is not a fundamental policy.

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 1986.
Prior to April 7, 1990, the Fund was managed by a different investment advisor
than the Manager.

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.

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

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

class are different from interests of another class, and o votes as a
class on matters that affect that class alone.

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

|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. The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the
Investment Company Act or other applicable law. It will also do so when a
shareholder meeting is called by the Trustees or upon proper request of the
shareholders.

Shareholders have the right, upon the declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee. 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. Although the Fund will not normally hold annual
meetings of its shareholders, it may hold shareholder meetings from time to time
on important matters, and shareholders have the right to call a meeting to
remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of
Trust.

The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee and a Review Committee. The
members of the Audit Committee are Edward L. Cameron (Chairman), William L.
Armstrong, George C. Bowen and Robert J. Malone. The Audit Committee held 7
meetings during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The Audit Committee
furnishes the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's
independent auditors. Other main functions of the Audit Committee include, but
are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of audits and the audit
fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports from the Fund's independent auditors
regarding the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls; and (iii)
establishing a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent
auditors and its independent Trustees.

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

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

The members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman), Robert
G. Avis, Sam Freedman, Beverly Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Review
Committee held 7 meetings during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Among
other functions, the Review Committee reviews reports and makes recommendations
to the Board concerning the fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent and the
services provided to the Fund by the transfer agent. The Review Committee also
reviews the Fund's investment performance and policies and procedures adopted by
the Fund to comply with Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Except for Mr. Murphy, each of the Trustees
is an independent trustee of the Fund ("Independent Trustee"). Mr. Murphy is an
"Interested Trustee," because he is affiliated with the Manager by virtue of his
positions as an officer and director of the Manager, and as a shareholder of its
parent company. Mr. Murphy was elected as a Trustee of the Fund with the
understanding that in the event he ceases to be the chief executive officer of
the Manager, he will resign as a trustee of the Fund and the other Board II
Funds (defined below) for which he is a trustee or director.

The Fund's Trustees and officers and their positions held with the Fund
and length of service in such position(s) and their principal occupations and
business affiliations during the past five years are listed in the chart below.
The information for the Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the
Fund as well as the aggregate dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any
of the Oppenheimer funds overseen by the Trustees. All of the Trustees are also
trustees or directors of the following Oppenheimer funds (except for Ms.
Hamilton and Mr. Malone, who are not Trustees of Oppenheimer Senior Floating
Rate Fund and Mr. Murphy is not a Trustee or Managing General Partner of any of
the Centennial trusts) (referred to as "Board II Funds"):

Oppenheimer Cash Reserves Oppenheimer Select Managers
Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund
Oppenheimer High Yield Fund Oppenheimer Total Return Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer International Bond Fund Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds
Oppenheimer Integrity Funds Panorama Series Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund Centennial America Fund, L. P.
Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc. Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust
Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity
Fund Centennial Government Trust
Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund Centennial Money Market Trust
Oppenheimer Municipal Fund Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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 charges on Class A shares is waived for
that group because of the economies of sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.

Messrs. Murphy, Masterson, Molleur, Vottiero, Wixted, Zack and
Manioudakis, and Mses. Bechtolt, Feld and Ives who are officers of the Fund,
respectively hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds
as with the Fund. As of October 29, 2002, the Trustees and officers of the Fund,
as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares
of the Fund. The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares 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, each Independent Trustee, and his family members, do not own
securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the Board II Funds or any
person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Manager or Distributor.

|X| Affiliated Transactions and Material Business Relationships. In 2000,
Mr. Swain sold 93,000 shares of Oppenheimer Acquisition Company ("OAC") (the
Manager's parent holding company), for a cash payment of $4,278,930 and
surrendered for cancellation 60,000 options to MassMutual for a cash payment of
$2,569,800. In 2001, Mr. Swain surrendered for cancellation 60,000 options to
MassMutual for a cash payment of $2,700,600.

Mr. Swain has reported that he sold a residential property to Mr. Freedman
on October 23, 2001 for $1.2 million. An independent appraisal of the property
supported the sale price.

The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way,
Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until his
or her resignation, retirement, death or removal. Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Malone
were elected as Trustees to the Board II effective June 1, 2002 and therefore
did not hold shares of Board II funds during the calendar year ended December
31, 2001.

if any. 2. Mr. Swain became an Independent Trustee effective 1/2/02, prior to
which he did not receive compensation from any of the Board II Funds. 3. Mrs.
Hamilton and Mr. Malone were elected as Trustees of the Board II Funds effective
June 1, 2002 and therefore did not receive compensation from any of the Board II
Funds during the calendar year 2001. They serve as Trustees/Directors for 40

II Funds and subsequently became Trustees Emeritus. Effective 6/1/02, Mr. Steel
is no longer Trustee Emeritus. Mr. Baker passed away on 12/11/01.

|X| Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a
Deferred Compensation Plan for disinterested Trustees that enables them to elect
to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled to
receive from the Fund. 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 performance of the
selected funds.

Deferral of Trustee's fees under the plan will not materially affect the
Fund's assets, liabilities and 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission, 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 fee account.

|X| Major Shareholders. As of October 29, 2002, the only persons who owned of
record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's
outstanding securities of any class were:

Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, 4800 Deer Lake Drive E., 3rd Floor,
Jacksonville, Florida 32246, which owned 6,395,363.85 Class C shares
(representing approximately 9.68% of the Fund's then-outstanding Class C
shares), for the benefit of its customers.

FISERV Securities Inc., One Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, Suite
1200, Philadelphia, PA 19103, which owned 146,257.25 Class N shares
(representing approximately 5.71% of the Fund's then-outstanding Class N
shares).

Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, 6803 S. Tucson Way, Englewood, CO
80112-3924, which owned 14,574,288.52 Class Y shares (representing
approximately 98.75% of the Fund's then-outstanding Class N shares).

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a
holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

|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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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| 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 managers of the
Fund are employed by the Manager and are the persons who are principally
responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Other members
of the Manager's Fixed Income Portfolio Team provide 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 the fund's last three fiscal years are listed below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal Year ended 9/30: Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000 $5,131,589
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2001 $5,226,961
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

2002 $8,206,128

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

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 by reason of
good faith errors or omissions on its part with respect to any of its duties
under the agreement.

The investment advisory agreement provides that the Manager's compensation
for any fiscal year of the Fund shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which
the Fund's expenses for that fiscal year exceed the most stringent applicable
expense limitation prescribed by any statute or regulatory authority of any
jurisdiction in which the Fund's shares are qualified for sale. As a result of
changes in federal securities laws after the investment advisory agreement was
entered into, state mutual fund regulations no longer limit mutual fund
expenses. Therefore that contractual provision is not currently applicable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In arriving at a decision, the Board did not single out any one factor or
group of factors as being more important than other factors, but considered all
factors together. The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment
advisory agreement, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of
the surrounding circumstances.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

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

Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager may select brokers
(other than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services for the
Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have
investment discretion. The commissions paid to such 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. Subject to those considerations, as a factor in selecting
brokers for the Fund's portfolio transactions, the Manager may also consider
sales of shares of the Fund and other investment companies for which the Manager
or an affiliate serves as investment advisor.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. Most securities purchases made by
the Fund are in principal transactions at net prices. The Fund usually deals
directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker without
incurring charges for the services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager
determines that a better price or execution may be obtained by using the
services of a broker. Therefore, the Fund does not incur substantial brokerage
costs. Portfolio securities purchased from underwriters include a commission or
concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter in the price of the security.
Portfolio securities purchased from dealers include a spread between the bid and
asked price. The Fund seeks to obtain prompt execution of these orders at the
most favorable net price.

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. Brokerage
commissions are paid primarily for effecting 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.

The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate
brokerage for research services. The investment 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 on 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 broadens 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 different classes of shares of the Fund. 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 during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years, and
the contingent deferred sales charges retained by the Distributor on the
redemption of shares for the most recent fiscal year are shown in the tables

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in
connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the
particular class.

Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees, including
a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on that plan.

Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates and, in their sole discretion, from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to brokers, dealers
or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative services
they perform. The Manager may use its profits from the advisor fee it receives
from the Fund. In their sole discretion, the Distributor and the Manager may
increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their own resources
to plan recipients.

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 after six years, 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" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of
the shares of each Class, voting separately by class.

Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates and in their sole discretion, from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to brokers, dealers
or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative services
they perform. 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 plan for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient in
any quarter in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of that
class held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a
minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the
Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees has set no minimum amount of assets
to qualify for payments under the plans.

|X| Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the
Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as "recipients")
for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their
customers who hold Class A shares. The services include, among others, answering
customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining
accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available and providing
other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The Class A
service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Board has set the rate at
that level. 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. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at an
annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of
Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

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

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, payments under the Class A
Plan totaled $2,346,096, all of which was paid by the Distributor to recipients.
That included $136,995 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 Service and Distribution Plan Fees. Under
each plan, service fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of the
net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of
each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for the
Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under
the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of services that
recipients provide are similar to the services provided under the Class A
service plan, described above.

Each Plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a quarterly
basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor currently intends to
pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first year after the Class
N shares are purchased. After the first year Class N shares are outstanding, the
Distributor makes service fee payments quarterly on those shares. The advance
payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by
exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment. If Class B, Class C
or Class N shares are redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the
recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the
Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on
those shares.

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 and/or Class N service fee and the
asset-based sales charge to the dealer quarterly in lieu of paying the sales
concessions and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

The asset-based sales charges 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 charges to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing each class of 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, and
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.

When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are sold without the designation
of a broker-dealer, the Distributor is automatically designated as the
broker-dealer of record. In those cases, the Distributor retains the service fee
and asset-based sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.

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

fees.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its performance. These terms include "standardized yield," "dividend
yield," "average annual total return," "cumulative total return," "average
annual total return at net asset value" and "total return at net asset value."
An explanation of how yields and 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 web site at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Those returns must be shown for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods (or
the life of the class, if less) ending as of the most recently ended calendar
quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its submission for
publication). Certain types of yields may also be shown, provided that they are
accompanied by standardized average annual total returns.

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 Yields and 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 its yields 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 Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical
performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction
of future yields or 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 yields and 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| Yields. The Fund uses a variety of different yields to illustrate its
current returns. Each class of shares calculates its yield separately because of
the different expenses that affect each class.

o Standardized Yield. The "standardized yield" (sometimes referred to just as
"yield") is shown for a class of shares for a stated 30-day period. It is not
based on actual distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders in the 30-day
period, but is a hypothetical yield based upon the net investment income from
the Fund's portfolio investments for that period. It may therefore differ from
the "dividend yield" for the same class of shares, described below.

Standardized yield is calculated using the following formula set forth in
rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, designed to assure
uniformity in the way that all funds calculate their yields:

Standardized Yield = 2a-b + 1)6 -1]
---
[(
Cd

The symbols above represent the following factors:

a = dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense
assumptions).
c = the average daily number of shares of that class outstanding during
the 30-day period that were entitled to receive dividends.
d = the maximum offering price per share of that class on the last day of
the period, adjusted for undistributed net investment income.

The standardized yield for a particular 30-day period may differ from the
yield for other periods. The SEC formula assumes that the standardized yield for
a 30-day period occurs at a constant rate for a six-month period and is
annualized at the end of the six-month period. Additionally, because each class
of shares is subject to different expenses, it is likely that the standardized
yields of the Fund's classes of shares will differ for any 30-day period.

o Dividend Yield. The Fund may quote a "dividend yield" for each class of its
shares. Dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on a class of shares
during the actual dividend period. To calculate dividend yield, the dividends of
a class declared during a stated period are added together, and the sum is
multiplied by 12 (to annualize the yield) and divided by the maximum offering
price on the last day of the dividend period. The formula is shown below:

Dividend Yield = dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date)

The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current maximum
initial sales charge. The maximum offering price for Class B, Class C and Class
N shares is the net asset value per share, without considering the effect of
contingent deferred sales charges. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.
The Class A dividend yield may also be quoted without deducting the maximum
initial sales charge.

|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 3.50% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the
initial investment ("P") (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: 4.0% in the first year, 3.0% in the second year, 2.0% in the third and
fourth years, 1.0% in the fifth year, and none thereafter. For Class C shares,
the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the 1-year
period. For Class N shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted
for returns for the one-year period, and total returns for the periods prior to
March 1, 2001 (the inception date for Class N shares) is based on the Fund's
Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1 fees. There is no
sales charge for Class Y shares.

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

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

ERV - 1= Average Annual Total
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:

ATVD - 1= Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
1/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:

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

-----------

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 each class of shares 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 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 Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star
ranking of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an
independent mutual fund monitoring service. Morningstar ranks mutual funds in
their specialized market sector. The Fund is ranked among the short government
category.

Morningstar proprietary star rankings 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.

The Fund may also compare its total return ranking to that of other funds
in its Morningstar category, in addition to its star rating. Those total return
rankings are percentages from one percent to one hundred percent and are not
risk-adjusted. For example, if a fund is in the 94th percentile, that means that
94% of the funds in the same category performed better than it did.

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

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

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

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

ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to
buy shares of the Fund. Appendix 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.

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

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

|X| Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the lower sales charge rates
that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you and your spouse can add
together:

o Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual accounts
(including IRAs and 403(b) plans), or for your joint accounts, or
for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who are
minors, and
o Current purchases of Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and
other Oppenheimer funds to reduce the sales charge rate that applies
to current purchases of Class A shares, and
o Class A and Class B shares of Oppenheimer funds you previously
purchased subject to an initial or contingent deferred sales charge
to reduce the sales charge rate for current purchases of Class A
shares, provided that you still hold your investment in one of the
Oppenheimer funds.

A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other
fiduciary account (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same
employer) that has multiple accounts. The Distributor will add the value, at
current offering price, of the shares you previously purchased and currently own
to the value of current purchases to determine the sales charge rate that
applies. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases. You must

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 and
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund. 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, if you purchase Class A shares or
Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds during a
13-month period, you can reduce the sales charge rate that applies to your
purchases of Class A shares. The total amount of your intended purchases of both
Class A and Class B shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate for the
Class A shares purchased during that period. You can include purchases made up
to 90 days before the date of the Letter. Letters of Intent do not consider
Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may have purchased.

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

A Letter enables an investor to count the Class A and Class B shares
purchased under the Letter to obtain the reduced sales charge rate on purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) that applies under
the Right of Accumulation to current purchases of Class A shares. Each purchase
of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the offering price (including
the sales charge) that applies 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 of
Intent 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 of Intent. 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 of Intent.

If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter of Intent 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 of Intent 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 of Intent. If the intended purchase amount under a Letter
of Intent entered into by an OppenheimerFunds prototype 401(k) plan is not
purchased by the plan by the end of the Letter of Intent 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 of Intent period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter in placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter of Intent 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 of Intent period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Retirement Plans. Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase
shares of the Fund without sales charge 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 $3 million in assets (other than assets invested in money
market funds) invested in applicable investments, then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class B shares of the Oppenheimer funds. Any retirement plans in
that category that currently invest in Class B shares of the Fund will have
their Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the Fund when the plan's
applicable investments reach $5 million. 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 any order in the amount of $500,000 or
more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a
single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts). That
is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase
Class A shares of the Fund.

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 after six years 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 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.
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).

Account Fees. As stated in the
Prospectus, a $12 annual fee is assessed
on any account valued at less than $500.
This fee will not be assessed on the
following accounts:
o Accounts that have balances below $500 due to the automatic conversion of
shares from Class B to Class A shares;
o Accounts with an active Asset
Builder Plan, payroll deduction
plan or a military allotment plan;
o OppenheimerFunds-sponsored group
retirement accounts that are
making continuing purchases;
o Certain accounts held by
broker-dealers through the
National Securities Clearing
Corporation; and
o Accounts that fall below the $500 threshold due solely to market
fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is
deducted.

The fee is automatically deducted from qualifying accounts annually on or
about the second to last business day of September. This annual fee is waived
for any shareholders who elect to access their account documents through
electronic document delivery rather than in paper copy and who elect to utilize
the Internet or PhoneLink as their primary source for their general servicing
needs. To sign up to access account documents electronically via eDocs Direct,
please visit the Service Center on our website at WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM or
call 1.888.470.0862 for instructions.

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

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

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

|X| 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, as applicable, on that day,
or

(1) 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(2) 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:o

(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.

Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq, 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 on the valuation
date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal exchange
or on Nasdaq on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on
an exchange or on Nasdaq, 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.

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to United Missouri Bank (the "Bank") for
clearance, the Bank will ask the Fund to redeem a sufficient number of full and
fractional shares in the shareholder's account to cover the amount of the check.
This enables the shareholder to continue receiving dividends on those shares
until the check is presented to the Fund. Checks may not be presented for
payment at the offices of the Bank or the Fund's custodian. This limitation does
not affect the use of checks for the payment of bills or to obtain cash at other
banks. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering
checkwriting privileges at any time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever
it is required to do so by applicable law.

In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing
the account application or by completing a Checkwriting card, each individual
who signs:

(1)for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered
owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that account;
(2) for accounts for corporations,
partnerships, trusts and other
entities, represents that they
are an officer, general
partner, trustee or other
fiduciary or agent, as
applicable, duly authorized to
act on behalf of the registered
owner(s);
(3) authorizes the Fund, its Transfer
Agent and any bank through
which the Fund's drafts
(checks) are payable to pay all
checks drawn on the Fund
account of such person(s) and
to redeem a sufficient amount
of shares from that account to
cover payment of each check;

(4) specifically acknowledges that if
they choose to permit checks to
be honored if there is a single
signature on checks drawn
against joint accounts, or
accounts for corporations,
partnerships, trusts or other
entities, the signature of any
one signatory on a check will
be sufficient to authorize
payment of that check and
redemption from the account,
even if that account is
registered in the names of more
than one person or more than
one authorized signature
appears on the Checkwriting
card or the application, as
applicable;

(5) understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or
amended at any time by the Fund and/or the Fund's bank; and
(6) acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Fund nor its bank
shall incur any liability for
that amendment or termination
of checkwriting privileges or
for redeeming shares to pay
checks reasonably believed by
them to be genuine, or for
returning or not paying checks
that have not been accepted for
any reason.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial
plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to
"Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its
address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of
this Statement of Additional Information. The request must:

(1) state the reason for the distribution;
(2) state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is
premature; and
(3) conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption
requirements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|X| 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.

To use shares held under the Plan as collateral for a debt, the Planholder
may request issuance of a portion of the shares in certificated form. Upon
written request from the Planholder, the Transfer Agent will determine the
number of shares for which a certificate may be issued without causing the
withdrawal checks to stop. However, should such uncertificated shares become
exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

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

How to Exchange Shares

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

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

The following funds only offer Class A shares:
Centennial America Fund, L.P. Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial Government Trust Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Centennial Money Market Trust

The following funds do not offer Class N shares:
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal
Fund
Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals
Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund
Oppenheimer New Jersey Municipal Fund Limited Term New York Municipal
Fund
Oppenheimer New York Municipal Fund Rochester Fund Municipals

The following funds do not offer Class Y shares:
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal
Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies
Fund

Oppenheimer International Small Limited Term New York Municipal
Company Fund Fund

o Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
shares of any other fund.

o Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares of
other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k)
plans.
o Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be exchanged
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 or Oppenheimer Cash
Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M shares.

o Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund may be exchanged
only for Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds and no exchanges may be
made to Class X shares.

o Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged for
shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund. Only participants in certain
retirement plans may purchase shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation
Fund, and only those participants may exchange shares of other Oppenheimer
funds for shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund.
o Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are not available
by exchange of shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Class A shares
of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves.
Shares of Oppenheimer Select Managers Mercury Advisors S&P Index Fund and
Oppenheimer Select Managers QM Active Balanced Fund are only available to
retirement plans and are available only by exchange from the same class of
shares of other Oppenheimer funds held by retirement plans.
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 Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of other mutual funds (other than funds
managed by the Manager or its subsidiaries) redeemed within the 30 days
prior to that purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of other
Oppenheimer funds without being subject to an initial sales charge or
contingent deferred sales charge. To qualify for that privilege, the
investor or the investor's dealer must notify the Distributor of
eligibility for this privilege at the time the shares of Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund, Inc. are purchased. If requested, they must supply proof of
entitlement to this privilege.
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.

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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. The Fund may accept requests for exchanges of
up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that
qualify for this privilege.

|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.

|X| 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. Dividends will be payable on shares held of record
at the time of the previous determination of net asset value, or as otherwise
described in "How to Buy Shares." Daily dividends will not be declared or paid
on newly purchased shares until such time as Federal Funds (funds credited to a
member bank's account at the Federal Reserve Bank) are available from the
purchase payment for such shares. Normally, purchase checks received from
investors are converted to Federal Funds on the next business day. Shares
purchased through dealers or brokers normally are paid for by the third business
day following the placement of the purchase order.

Shares redeemed through the regular redemption procedure will be paid
dividends through and including the day on which the redemption request is
received by the Transfer Agent in proper form. Dividends will be declared on
shares repurchased by a dealer or broker for three business days following the
trade date (that is, up to and including the day prior to settlement of the
repurchase). If all shares in an account are redeemed, all dividends accrued on
shares of the same class in the account will be paid together with the
redemption proceeds.

The Fund's practice of attempting to pay dividends on Class A shares at a
constant level requires the Manager to monitor the Fund's portfolio and, if
necessary, to select higher-yielding securities when it is deemed appropriate to
seek income at the level needed to meet the target. Those securities must be
within the Fund's investment parameters, however. The Fund expects to pay
dividends at a targeted level from its net investment income and other
distributable income without any impact on the net asset values per share.

The Fund has no fixed dividend rate for Class B, Class C, Class N and
Class Y shares, and the rate can change for Class A shares. 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.

|X| 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.

|X| 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.

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 30% (29% for
payments after December 31, 2003) 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). All income and any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted
by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to
shareholders in January of each year.

|X| 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.

|X| 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.
All income and any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each
year.

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 30% (29% for
payments after December 31, 2003) on ordinary income dividends, capital gains
distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign
person. All income and any tax withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is
remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to
shareholders in January of each year.

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

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

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 Auditors. Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent auditors of the
Fund. They audit the Fund's financial statements and perform other related audit
services. They also act as auditors for the Manager and for certain other funds
advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, including the statement of
investments, as of September 30, 2002, 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 the
periods indicated. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2002, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received
from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Limited-Term Government Fund as of September 30, 2002, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Footnotes to Statement of Investments

1. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically
decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities
increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the
underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is
calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes
in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example,
GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based
upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash
flows. These securities amount to $28,568,031 or 0.97% of the Fund's net assets
as of September 30, 2002.
2. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after September 30, 2002.
3. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid--See Note 7 of Notes to Financial
Statements.
4. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities
generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The
price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing
bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields
based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows.
5. Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.
6. Securities with an aggregate market value of $25,202,930 are held in
collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
sales contracts. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government 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 high current
return and safety of principal. 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. All classes of shares have identical
rights and voting privileges. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per
share may differ by minor amounts due to each class having its own expenses
directly attributable to that class. Classes A, B, C and N have separate
distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y
shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years
after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Valuation. 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. 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. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily
available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio
pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value.
Fair value is determined in good faith under 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).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis. Delivery and payment for
securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis can take
place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs
within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to
time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends beyond six months or
more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn
interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in
value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a
market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments.
The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility
of the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund makes such purchases while
remaining substantially fully invested. As of September 30, 2002, the Fund had

24| OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND

entered into when-issued purchase commitments of $1,005,116,107 and when-issued
sale commitments of $503,059,303.
In connection with its ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis,
the Fund may enter into forward roll transactions with respect to
mortgage-related securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of
securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement with
the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but
not identical securities on a specified future date. The forward roll may not
extend for a period of greater than one year. The Fund generally records the
incremental difference between the forward purchase and sell of each forward
roll as interest income.
Risks to the Fund of entering into forward roll transactions include the
potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the
potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities to what was sold to the
counterparty at redelivery; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down
speed variance between the mortgage-related pools.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint Repurchase Agreements. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds of the
Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. 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;
however, 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 daily
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 continue to comply with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its 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.

As of September 30, 2002, the Fund had available for federal income tax
urposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classification of Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. 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.
The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to
reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions
determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the
year ended September 30, 2002, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a
decrease in overdistributed net investment income of $1,502,630. Accumulated
net realized loss on investments was increased by the same amount. Net assets
of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30,
2002 and September 30, 2001 was as follows:

Year Ended Year Ended
Sept. 30, 2002 Sept. 30, 2001

Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income $77,644,581 $ 67,690,251
Long-term capital gain -- --
Return of capital -- --
-----------------------------
Total $77,644,581 $67,690,251
=============================

As of September 30, 2002, the components of distributable earnings on a tax
basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income $ 1,415,575
Accumulated net realized loss (45,347,196)
Net unrealized appreciation 59,021,772
-------------
Total $ 15,090,151
=============

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

26| OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

of securities for federal income tax purposes of $3,364,535,316 was composed
of:

Gross unrealized appreciation $104,541,460
Gross unrealized depreciation (70,863,212)
------------
Net unrealized appreciation $ 33,678,248
============

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation and
depreciation, if applicable, is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of
losses on wash sales, or return of capital dividends, and the realization for
tax purposes of unrealized gain (loss) on certain futures contracts,
investments in passive foreign investment companies, and forward foreign
currency exchange contracts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 of
0.50% of the first $100 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.45%
of the next $150 million, 0.425% of the next $250 million, and 0.40% of average
annual net assets in excess of $500 million. Effective January 1, 2002, the
Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees at an annual rate equal
to 0.10% or 0.05%, as the case may be, of the Fund's average daily net assets
if the Fund's trailing one year performance percentile at the end of the
preceding quarter is in either the fourth or the fifth quintile of the Fund's
Lipper peer group, respectively. The foregoing waiver is voluntary and may be
terminated by the Manager at any time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounting Fees. The Manager acts as the accounting agent for the Fund at an
annual fee of $12,000, plus out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably
incurred.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 $22.50 per account fee.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $5,000 for
assets of less than $10 million and $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.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent
fees up to an annual rate of 0.25% of average net assets of Class Y shares and
for all other classes, up to an annual rate of 0.35% of average net assets of
each class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

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. For the year ended September 30, 2002, payments
under the Class A Plan totaled $2,346,096, all of which were paid by the
Distributor to recipients, and included $136,995 paid to an affiliate of the

5. Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future
date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity
exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly
based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities "interest rate
futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in
market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or
write put or call options on these futures contracts.
The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in
interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund
may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it
may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income
securities.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit
either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain
percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal
to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains
and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is
closed or expires.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin
requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of
Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable
and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized
gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations as closing and
expiration of futures contracts.
Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.

As of September 30, 2002, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call
options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or
protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.
The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to
hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an
option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or
purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal
exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or
depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the
expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised,
the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a
written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call
option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the
Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration
date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note
to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported
in the Statement of Operations.
The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity
for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is
exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss
if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The
risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the
option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to
enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

Written option activity for the year ended September 30, 2002 was as follows:

7. Illiquid Securities

As of September 30, 2002, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available
market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The
Fund intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the
time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. The
aggregate value of illiquid securities subject to this limitation as of
September 30, 2002 was $12,102,257, which represents 0.41% of the Fund's net
assets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Bank Borrowings

The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including,
without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage
for borrowings exceeds 300%. The Fund has entered into an agreement which
enables it to participate with other Oppenheimer funds in an unsecured line of
credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400 million, collectively.
Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to
the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.45%. Borrowings are payable within 30 days after
such loan is executed. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro
rata share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of
0.08% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the year ended or at September
30, 2002.

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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term (Taxable) Bond Ratings

Aaa: Bonds 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 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 risks appear somewhat larger than those of Aaa securities.

A: Bonds 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 sometime in the future.

Baa: Bonds 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 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 not well safeguarded during both good and bad
times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this
class.

B: Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of 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 rated Caa are of poor standing and may be in default or there may
be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca: Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree and are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds 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 category; the modifier "2" indicates a
mid-range ranking and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in the lower end of
the category.

Short-Term Ratings - Taxable Debt

These ratings apply to the ability of issuers to repay punctually senior debt
obligations having an original maturity not exceeding one year:

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, while sound, may be 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 Rating Services
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term Credit Ratings

AAA: Bonds 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: Bonds 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: Bonds rated "A" are somewhat more susceptible to 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: Bonds 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.

Bonds 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: Bonds rated BB are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative
issues. However, these face major 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: A bond rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than an obligation rated BB,
but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation.

CCC: A bond rated CCC 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. 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 is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: The C rating may used where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar
action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.

D: Bonds rated D are in default. Payments on the obligation are not being made
on the date due.

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. The
"r" symbol is attached to the ratings of instruments with significant noncredit
risks.

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

A-1: Rated in the highest category. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, a plus (+) sign
designation indicates the issuer's capacity to meet its financial obligation is
very strong.

A-2: Obligation 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: 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: 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: 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: In payment default. Payments on the obligation have not been made on the due
date. The rating may also be used if a bankruptcy petition has been filed or
similar actions jeopardize payments on the obligation.

Fitch, Inc.

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

International Long-Term Credit 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 rates 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

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

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

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

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

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the
shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request. 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."5 This waiver
provision applies to: |_| Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or
more. |_| Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to
purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
(other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_| Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the
purchases are made:
1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser
that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those
purchases, or
2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement
Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements
with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_| Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
following record-keeping arrangements: 1) The record keeping is
performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner &
Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the
Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must
have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds,
other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment
Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service
Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal
underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM
(the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable
Investments").
2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily
valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under
a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill
Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service
agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more
of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds)
invested in Applicable Investments.
3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service
agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs
that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as
determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).
II.

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

A. Waivers of Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges for Certain
Purchasers.

Class A shares purchased by the following investors are not subject to any Class
A sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the Distributor on such
purchases):
|_| The Manager or its affiliates.
|_| Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
their "immediate families") of the Fund, the Manager and its
affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their
