The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks a high total return.


WHAT DOES THE FUND INVEST IN?  The Fund currently invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. companies of different
capitalization ranges, presently focusing on large-capitalization issuers.  It also can buy debt securities, such
as bonds and debentures, but does not currently emphasize these investments.

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL?  In selecting securities for purchase or
sale by the Fund, the Fund's portfolio managers use an investment process that combines quantitative models,
fundamental research about particular securities and individual judgment.  While this process and the
inter-relationship of the factors used may change over time and its implementation may vary in particular cases,
in general the selection process currently involves the use of:

     o   Multi-factor  quantitative  models:  These include a group of "top-down"  models that analyze data such as
         relative  valuations,  relative price trends,  interest rates and the shape of the yield curve. These help
         direct  portfolio  emphasis by market  capitalization  (small,  mid, or large),  industries,  and value or
         growth  styles.  A group of "bottom  up" models  helps to rank  stocks in a universe  typically  including
         3000 stocks, selecting stocks for relative attractiveness by analyzing stock and company characteristics.

     o   Fundamental research: The portfolio managers use internal research and analysis by other market
         analysts, with emphasis on current company news and industry-related events.
     o   Judgment:  The portfolio is then continuously rebalanced by the portfolio managers, using the tools
         described above.


WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR?  The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking total return in their
investment over the long term, with the opportunity for some current income.  Those investors should be willing
to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a moderately aggressive fund
focusing mainly on stock investments.  Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate and will likely be small, it
is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income.  Because of its focus on long-term
growth, the Fund may be appropriate for a portion of a retirement plan investment.  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 their 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.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS.  Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at times may be great.
Because the Fund currently invests a substantial portion of its assets in common stocks, the value of the Fund's
portfolio will be affected by changes in the stock markets. Market risk will affect the Fund's net asset values
per share, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund's portfolio securities change.

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

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

         At times, the Manager may increase the Fund's emphasis of its investments in a particular industry
compared to the weighting of that industry in the S&P 500 Index which the Fund uses as a performance benchmark.
To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, its share values may
fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government
regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than
others.

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 the prices of its shares.
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.


         In the short term, the stock markets can be volatile, and the price of the Fund's shares can go up and
down. While fixed-income securities have their own risks, and are not currently emphasized by the Fund, they have
the potential to help cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices.  In the OppenheimerFunds
spectrum, the Fund is generally more conservative than aggressive growth stock funds, but may be more volatile
than investment grade bond funds.

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

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) for the last ten calendar years and by showing how the average annual total
returns of the Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of a broad-based market index.  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.   In certain cases, the figure
representing "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the other return
figures for the same period.  A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and
translates into an assumed tax deduction that benefits the shareholder.  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 both before and after taxes,
is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

the cumulative return (not annualized) before             1 Year             5 Years        10 Years (or Life of

period shown in the bar chart, the highest return
(not annualized) before taxes for a calendar
quarter was 27.05% (4th QTR `92) and the lowest
return (not annualized) before taxes for a
calendar quarter was -11.49% (3rd QTR `01).

1 From 12/31/91.
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 in the table include the applicable sales charges: for Class A shares,
the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charges of
5% (1-year), 2% (5-year); and for Class C shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year period.
Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B "life-of-class" performance
does not include the contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for the period after
conversion. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares. The Fund's 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 S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged
index of equity securities.  Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the
effects of transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund may have investments that vary from those in the
index.

Fees and Expenses 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
expenses directly, such as sales charges and account transaction charges.  The following tables are meant to help
you understand the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.  The numbers below are
based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended August 31, 2002.

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 the
transfer agent fees to 0.25% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for Class Y shares and 0.35% of average
daily net assets per fiscal year for all other classes.  That undertaking was effective on January 1, 2001 for
Class Y shares and on October 1, 2001 for all other classes of shares. The undertaking was pro-rated for the
remainder of the fiscal year ending after that date, and may be amended or withdrawn at any time. After the
waiver, the actual "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" as percentages of average daily net
assets were 0.32% and 0.78%, respectively, for Class Y shares.  For the Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2002,
the transfer agent fees did not exceed the expense limitation described above for the other classes of shares.
Effective November 1, 2002, the transfer agent will limit its fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per
fiscal year for Class Y shares.  Had that reduced waiver been in effect during the past fiscal year for Class Y
shares, the actual "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" as percentages of daily net assets
would have been 0.42% and 0.88%, respectively.

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

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.
1.   Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses, since 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.

         The Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities before they are purchased.  The
Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to market risks by diversifying its investments, that is, by not holding a
substantial amount of stock of any one company and by not investing too great a percentage of the Fund's assets
in any one company.  Also, the Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its investments in any one industry. The
share prices of the Fund will change daily based on changes in market prices of securities and market conditions
and in response to other economic events.  Additionally, the income the securities pay can change at any time.

Stock Investments.  The Fund currently invests mainly in common stocks.  The Fund currently focuses on securities
         of issuers that have large capitalizations.  Historically their stock prices have tended to be less
         volatile than securities of smaller issuers.  However, the Fund can buy stocks of issuers in all
         capitalization ranges. "Capitalization" refers to the market value of all of the issuers' outstanding
         common stock.

Portfolio Turnover.  A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover."  The Fund can
         engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its objective, and may have a high portfolio
         turnover rate (for example, over 100%).  Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and
         transaction costs for the Fund.  If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells its portfolio
         investments, it must generally 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 rate during prior fiscal years.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE?  The Fund's Board of Directors 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 also 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.

Debt Securities.  The mix of equities and debt securities in the Fund's portfolio will vary over time depending
         on the Manager's judgment about market and economic conditions.  The Fund's investments in debt
         securities can include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and
         instrumentalities, and foreign and domestic corporate bonds, notes and debentures. They may be selected
         for their income possibilities, for liquidity and to help cushion fluctuations in the Fund's net asset
         values.

         The debt securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating organizations such as
         Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Rating Service or they may be unrated securities
         assigned a comparable rating by the Manager.

o        Interest Rate Risks.  The values of debt securities are subject to change when prevailing interest rates
         change.  When interest rates fall, the value of already-issued debt securities generally rise.  When
         interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally decline. The magnitude of
         these fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than shorter-term debt
         securities.  The Fund's share prices can go up or down when interest rates change because of the effect
         of the changes on the value of the Fund's investments in debt securities.

o        Credit Risks.  Debt securities are subject to credit risks.  Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of
         a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due.  If the
         issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to repay
         principal, the value of that security and of the Fund's shares may fall.

o        Special Credit Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
         "lower-grade" securities commonly known as "junk bonds."  These are securities rated below "Baa" by
         Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or "BBB" by Standard & Poors Ratings Service or having similar ratings by
         other ratings organizations, or if unrated, assigned a comparable rating by the Manager. However, the
         Fund currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its assets in lower-grade securities and
         cannot invest more than 10% of its total assets in lower-grade securities that are not convertible.

         Debt securities below investment grade, whether rated or unrated, have greater risks than
         investment-grade securities.  There may be less of a market for them and therefore they may be harder to
         sell at an acceptable price.  There is a relatively greater possibility that the issuer's earnings may
         be insufficient to make the payments of interest and principal when due.  These risks mean that the
         Fund's net asset value per share could be affected by declines in value of these securities.

Risks of Foreign Investing.  The Fund can buy securities of companies or governments in any country, developed or
         underdeveloped. While there is no limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in
         foreign securities, the Manager does not currently plan to invest significant amounts of the Fund's
         assets in foreign securities. While foreign securities offer special investment opportunities, there are
         also special risks, such as the effects of a change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S.
         dollar, which will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign
         currency.

Other Equity Securities.  Equity securities include common stocks, as well as "equity equivalents" such as
         preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stock.  Preferred stock has a set dividend rate
         and ranks after bonds and before common stocks in its claim for dividends and on assets if the issuer is
         liquidated or becomes bankrupt.  The Manager considers some convertible securities to be "equity
         equivalents" because of the conversion feature and in that case their rating has less impact on the
         investment decision than in the case of debt securities.

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 is one that has a contractual restriction on its resale or which 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 (the Board can increase that limit to 15%).
         Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers are not
         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.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of "derivative" investments. In
         general terms, a derivative investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived
         from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. In the broadest sense, options, futures
         contracts, and other hedging instruments the Fund might use may be considered "derivative" investments.
         The Fund currently does not use derivatives to a significant degree and is not required to use them in
         seeking its objective.

         Derivatives have risks. If the issuer of the derivative investment does not pay the amount due, the Fund
         can lose money on the investment. The underlying security or investment on which a derivative is based,
         and the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expected it to. As a result of these
         risks the Fund could realize less principal or income from the investment than expected or its hedge
         might be unsuccessful. As a result, the Fund's share prices could fall.  Certain derivative investments
         held by the Fund might be illiquid.

     o   Hedging.  The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options, forward contracts and
         options on futures and securities indices. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments."  Some of
         these strategies would hedge the Fund's portfolio against price fluctuations. Other hedging strategies,
         such as buying futures and call options, would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the securities
         market.

         There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies.  Options trading involves the payment of
         premiums and can increase portfolio turnover.  If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong
         time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce the Fund's return.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable adverse market or economic conditions, the Fund
         can invest up to 100% of its total assets in temporary defensive investments that are inconsistent with
         the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, they would be money market instruments, U.S.
         government securities, highly-rated commercial paper, or repurchase agreements. The Fund may 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 may not achieve its investment objective.

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 Directors, 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.  The portfolio managers of the Fund are Charles Albers and Nikolaos Monoyios.   Mr. Albers is
         a Vice President of the Fund, Senior Vice President of the Manager, and an officer and portfolio manager
         of other Oppenheimer funds.  Mr. Monoyios is a Vice President of the Fund and of the Manager and an
         officer and portfolio manager of other Oppenheimer funds.  Prior to joining the Manager in 1998, they
         were portfolio managers at Guardian Investor Services, the investment management subsidiary of The
         Guardian Life Insurance Company.

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: 0.65% of the first $200 million of average annual net
         assets of the Fund, 0.60% of the next $150 million, 0.55% of the next $150 million, and 0.45% of average
         annual net assets in excess of $500 million.  The Fund's management fee for the period ended August 31,
         2002 was 0.46% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

HOW DO YOU 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.

Buying Shares 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.
Buying Shares 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.
o        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.
o        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.
o        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.

HOW MUCH MUST YOU INVEST? You can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $25 (effective November 1, 2002, the additional purchase amount is
$50). There are reduced minimum investments under special investment plans.
o        With Asset Builder Plans, 403(b) plans, Automatic Exchange Plans and military allotment plans, you can
         make initial and subsequent investments for as little as $25. The minimum additional investment in any
         such plan accounts established on or after November 1, 2002 is $50. The minimum additional investment to
         such plan accounts that were established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain $25. To establish a new
         Asset Builder Plan account on or after November 1, 2002, you must first invest at least $500.
o        Under retirement plans, such as IRAs, pension and profit-sharing plans and 401(k) plans, you can start
         your account with as little as $250. If your IRA is started as an Asset Builder Plan, the $25 minimum
         applies. Additional purchases may be for as little as $25. To establish any type of IRA account on or
         after November 1, 2002, the minimum investment is $500. The minimum additional investment to any type of
         IRA account after November 1, 2002 is $50.
o        The minimum 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 Directors 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.  Because some foreign securities
         trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the
         Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

         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 Directors 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.

Buying Through 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 six 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 six
         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.

o        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 the special conditions apply.

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:

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 1.0% 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 six 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 Which Purchase Order      Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on Redemptions in
was Accepted                                                That Year
                                                            (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)

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

5 - 6                                                       1.0%

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

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 3.75% 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 4.00% 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.

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, 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.

HOW DO 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.

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:
o        the amount of your account value  represented by an increase in net asset value over the initial  purchase
         price,
o        shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
o        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:
o        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.
o        The interests 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.
There is a $12 annual fee charged on any account valued at less than $500. See the Statement of Additional
         Information for circumstances when this fee will not be charged.
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 Directors 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 $500 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.
Shares may 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 an annual basis and to pay them to shareholders in December on a date selected by the Board of Directors.
Dividends and distributions paid to 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 has no
fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or distributions.

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.

         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 ex-dividend date, 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 dividend or 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 can 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 can use in selecting portfolio securities will vary over time.  The Fund is not required to
use any of the investment techniques and strategies described below at all times in seeking its goal.  It can use
some of the special investment techniques and strategies at some times or not at all.

         |X|  Investments in Equity Securities.  The Fund does not limit its investments in equity securities to
issuers having a market capitalization of a specified size or range, and therefore can invest in securities of
small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. At times, the Fund can focus its equity investments in securities
of one or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager's judgment of where the best market opportunities
are to seek the Fund's objective. At times, the market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a
particular capitalization range.  Securities of small capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price
volatility in general than securities of larger companies. Therefore, if the Fund is focusing on or has
substantial investments in smaller capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share
prices may fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger capitalization issuers.

              |_| Rights and Warrants.  The Fund can invest up to 10% of its total assets in warrants or rights,
although the Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in warrants or rights.
Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at specific prices valid for a specific period of
time.  Their prices do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities.  Rights are
similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its
shareholders.  Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer.

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


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

         While some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in many cases their conversion feature
(allowing conversion into equity securities) caused them to be regarded by the Manager more as "equity
equivalents."  As a result, the rating assigned to the security has less impact on the Manager's investment
decision than in the case of non-convertible fixed-income securities.

         To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as "equity equivalents," the Manager
examines the following factors:

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

         |X|  Investments in Bonds and Other Debt Securities.  The Fund can invest in bonds, debentures and other
debt securities to seek its investment objective. Because the Fund currently emphasizes investments in equity
securities, such as stocks, it is not anticipated that significant amounts of the Fund's assets will be invested
in debt securities.  However, if market conditions suggest that debt securities may offer better total return
opportunities than stocks, or if the Manager determines to seek a higher amount of current income to distribute
to shareholders, the Manager can shift more of the Fund's investments into debt securities.

         The Fund's debt investments can include investment-grade and non-investment-grade bonds (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds"). Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., or at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Corporation or Fitch, Inc., or that have comparable ratings by
another nationally-recognized rating organization. In making investments in debt securities, the Manager can rely
to some extent on the ratings of ratings organizations or it can use its own research to evaluate a security's
credit-worthiness. If the securities that the Fund buys are unrated, to be considered part of the Fund's holdings
of investment-grade securities, they must be judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as
investment grade by a rating organization.

|_|      U.S. Government Securities.  The Fund can buy securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or
its agencies and instrumentalities.  Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. government and are subject to very little credit risk. Obligations of U.S. government agencies
or instrumentalities (including mortgage-backed securities) may or may not be guaranteed or supported by the
"full faith and credit" of the United States.  Some are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury; others, by discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agencies' obligations; while
others are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality.  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 and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States in the event that the
agency or instrumentality does not meet its



commitment.  The Fund will invest in securities of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities only when the
Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to the agency or instrumentality is minimal.

              |_| Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities.  While it is not anticipated that the Fund will invest
a substantial portion of its assets in debt securities, the Fund can do so to seek current income. Because
lower-rated securities tend to offer higher yields than investment grade securities, the Fund can invest in lower
grade securities if the Manager is trying to achieve greater income (and, in some cases, the appreciation
possibilities of lower-grade securities may be a reason they are selected for the Fund's portfolio).

         The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in "lower grade" debt securities. However, the Fund
does not currently intend to invest more that 10% of its total assets in lower grade debt securities.
"Lower-grade" debt securities are those rated below "investment grade" which means they have a rating lower than
"Baa" by Moody's or lower than "BBB" by Standard & Poor's or Fitch, Inc., or similar ratings by other rating
organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality to debt
securities rated below investment grade, they are included in the limitation on the percentage of the Fund's
assets that can be invested in lower-grade securities.  The Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or
"D" or which may be in default at the time the Fund buys them.

         Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are discussed in the Prospectus. There is a
greater risk that the issuer may default on its obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the case
of investment grade securities. The issuer's low creditworthiness may increase the potential for its insolvency.
An overall decline in values in the high yield bond market is also more likely during a period of a general
economic downturn. An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates could severely disrupt the market for
high yield bonds, adversely affecting the values of outstanding bonds as well as the ability of issuers to pay
interest or repay principal. In the case of foreign high yield bonds, these risks are in addition to the special
risk of foreign investing discussed in the Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional Information.

         However, the Fund's limitations on buying these investments can reduce the effect of those risks to the
Fund, as will the Fund's policy of diversifying its investments. Additionally, to the extent they can be
converted into stock, convertible securities may be less subject to some of these risks than non-convertible high
yield bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some of these risk factors.  The Fund may not
invest more than 10% of its total assets in lower-grade debt securities that are not convertible.

         While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's or Fitch, Inc. are investment
grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those securities may be subject to special risks, and have some
speculative characteristics.  Definitions of the debt security ratings categories of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch,
Inc. are included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

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

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

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

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


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

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


         |X|  Portfolio Turnover.  "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at which the Fund traded its portfolio
securities during its previous fiscal year.  For example, if a fund sold all of its securities during the year,
its portfolio turnover rate would have been 100%. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate will fluctuate from year to
year, and the Fund can have a portfolio turnover rate of 100% or more. Increased portfolio turnover creates
higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which may reduce its overall performance. Additionally, the
realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result in distributions of taxable long-term
capital gains to shareholders, since the Fund will normally distribute all of its capital gains realized each
year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code. The Financial Highlights table at the end of the
Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

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

         |X|  Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies.  The Fund can invest in securities of small, unseasoned
companies.  These are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, including the operations
of any predecessors.  Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in their prices. They may have a
limited trading market, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price
the Fund might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a small, unseasoned
issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security when the Fund is attempting to dispose of
its holdings of that security. In that case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than might
otherwise be obtained. The Fund currently intends to invest no more than 5% of its net assets in securities of
small, unseasoned issuers.

         |X|  When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions.  The Fund can invest in securities on a
"when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis.  When-issued and
delayed-delivery are terms that refer 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.  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, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no
interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.

         The Fund will engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the Manager considers to be an
advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the obligation. 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 or for delivery pursuant to
options contracts it has entered into, and not for the purpose of investment leverage. Although the Fund will
enter into delayed-delivery or when-issued purchase transactions to acquire securities, it can 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 delivery 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 securities of any type 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.

Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can also invest in the securities of other investment
companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits
set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") that apply to those types of
investments.  For example, the Fund can invest in Exchange-Traded Funds, which are typically open-end funds or
unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange.  The Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the
segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the Exchange-Traded Funds' portfolio, at times when
the Fund may not be able to buy those portfolio securities directly.

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

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

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

         The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the resale typically
occurs within one to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are
subject to the Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement
that causes more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven
days. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements
having maturities of seven days or less.

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

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

         |X|  Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  To enable the Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted
security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund may have to cause those securities to be
registered.  The expenses of registering restricted securities may be negotiated by the Fund with the issuer at
the time the Fund buys the securities. When the Fund must arrange registration because the Fund wishes to sell
the security, a considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the
time the security is registered so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear the risks of any downward
price fluctuation during that period.

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

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

         Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and participation
interests that do not have puts exercisable within seven days.

         |X|  Loans of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund can lend its portfolio securities to certain types of
eligible borrowers approved by the Board of Directors. It may do so to try to provide income or to raise cash for
liquidity purposes. These loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets.  There
are some risks in connection with securities lending. The Fund might experience a delay in receiving additional
collateral to secure a loan, or a delay in recovery of the loaned securities. The Fund presently does not intend
to engage in loans of securities in the coming year.

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

         When it lends securities, the Fund receives amounts equal to the dividends or interest on loaned
securities. It also receives one or more of (a) negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as
collateral, and (c) interest on any short-term debt securities purchased with such loan collateral. Either type
of interest may be shared with the borrower.  The Fund can also pay reasonable finder's, custodian bank 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|  Derivatives.  The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative investments to seek income or for
hedging purposes. Some derivative investments the Fund can use are the hedging instruments described below in
this Statement of Additional Information.

         Other derivative investments the Fund can invest in include "index-linked" notes. Principal and/or
interest payments on these notes depend on the performance of an underlying index. Currency-indexed securities
are another derivative the Fund can use. Typically these are short-term or intermediate-term debt securities.
Their value at maturity or the rates at which they pay income are determined by the change in value of the U.S.
dollar against one or more foreign currencies or an index.  In some cases, these securities may pay an amount at
maturity based on a multiple of the amount of the relative currency movements.  This type of index security
offers the potential for increased income or principal payments but at a greater risk of loss than a typical debt
security of the same maturity and credit quality.

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

         |X|  Hedging.  The Fund can use hedging 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. To do so, the Fund could:


         o    sell futures contracts,
         o    buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
         o    write covered calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls can also be used to 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 can employ new hedging instruments and strategies when they are
developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and are permissible
under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

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


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

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



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

         No 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 can elect to close out its position by taking an
opposite position, at which time a final determination of variation margin is made and any additional cash must
be paid by or released to the Fund.  Any loss or gain on the future is then realized by the Fund for tax
purposes.  All futures transactions, except forward contracts, are effected through a clearinghouse associated
with the exchange on which the contracts are traded.

         |_|      Put and Call Options.  The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put options
("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call
options, including index options, securities options, currency options, commodities options, and options on the
other types of futures described above.

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 can be covered by identifying
liquid assets on the Fund's books to enable the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised.  Up to
25% of the Fund's total assets can be subject to calls the Fund writes.

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



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

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

         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 can 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 can 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
identifying an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets on the Fund's books.  The Fund will identify additional
liquid assets on its books 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 25% 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 can 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.
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 can sell the put prior to its expiration.
That sale may or may not be at a profit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

              |_| 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.

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

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



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

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

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

         The Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying to its custodian bank assets
having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund's commitment under forward contracts.  The Fund will not
enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the consummation of the contracts
would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio
securities or other assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the subject of the hedge.
However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, the Fund can maintain a net exposure to forward
contracts in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign
currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities denominated in any currency. The cover must be
at least equal at all times to the amount of that excess.  As one alternative, the Fund can purchase a call
option permitting the Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract at
a price no higher than the forward contract price.  As another alternative, the Fund can purchase a put option
permitting the Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase contract at a price as
high or higher than the forward contact price.

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

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

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

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

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

              |_| 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 liquid assets on its books (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."

              |_| 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 can 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.

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

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

         Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated as ordinary income or loss:

(1)      gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time the Fund
              accrues interest or other receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a
              foreign currency and the time the Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities,
              and
(2)      gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign currency between the date of
              acquisition of a debt security denominated in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward
              contracts and the date of disposition.

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

         |X|  Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  The Fund's temporary defensive investments can
include (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; (ii)
commercial paper rated in the highest category by an established rating organization; (iii) certificates of
deposit or bankers' acceptances of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or more; (iv) any of the foregoing
securities that mature in one year or less (generally known as "cash equivalents"); (v) other short-term
corporate debt obligations; and (vi) repurchase agreements.

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 Directors 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 concentrate investments.  That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total
assets in any industry. However, there is no limitation on investments in U.S. government securities.

o        The Fund cannot invest in commodities.  However, the Fund can buy and sell any of the hedging
instruments permitted by any of its other policies.  It does not matter if the hedging instrument is considered
to be a commodity or commodity contract.

         o    The Fund cannot invest in real estate or in interests in real estate.  However, the Fund can
purchase securities of issuers holding real estate or interests in real estate (including securities of real
estate investment trusts).

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

         o    The Fund cannot 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, and
contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

o        The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed).  The Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies.  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 of 1940.




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 interfund lending program with other affiliated
funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements.

o        The Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total
assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting
securities.  This limit 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.

         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 as described above, 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 a "series" of Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc.  That corporation is an
open-end, management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation in 1987.  The Fund is a diversified
mutual fund and commenced operations on February 3, 1988.

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

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

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

Meetings of Shareholders. Although the Fund is not required by Maryland law to hold annual meetings, it may hold
shareholder meetings from time to time on important matters. The shareholders of the Fund's parent corporation
have the right to call a meeting to remove a Director or to take certain other action described in the Articles
of Incorporation or under Maryland law.

         The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the Investment Company Act or other applicable
law. The Fund will hold a meeting when the Directors call a meeting or upon proper request of shareholders. If
the Fund's parent corporation receives a written request of the record holders of at least 25% of the outstanding
shares eligible to be voted at a meeting to call a meeting for a specified purpose (which might include the
removal of a Director), the Directors will call a meeting of shareholders for that specified purpose. The Fund's
parent corporation has undertaken that it will then either give the applicants access to the Fund's shareholder
list or mail the applicants' communication to all other shareholders at the applicants' expense.

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

         The Board of Directors 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 August 31, 2002. The Audit Committee furnishes the
Board with recommendations
regarding the selection of the Fund's independent auditors. 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 Directors.

         The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating to the full Board, Independent Nominees
for election as Independent Directors.  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 Directors
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 August
31, 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.

Directors and Officers of the Fund. Except for Mr. Murphy, each of the Directors is an independent director of
the Fund ("Independent Director"). Mr. Murphy is an "Interested Director," 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 Director 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 director of the Fund and the other Board II
Funds (defined below) for which he is a trustee or director.

         The Fund's Directors 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 Directors 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
Directors. All of the Directors 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

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

            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, Albers,
   Monoyios 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 7, 2002,
   the Directors 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 Director,
   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.

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

5.       Aggregate  compensation from the Fund includes $4,481 deferred under Deferred  Compensation Plan described
     below.

|X|      Deferred Compensation Plan For Directors.   The Board of Directors has adopted a Deferred Compensation
Plan for disinterested directors 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 Director is
periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds
selected by the Director.  The amount paid to the Director under the plan will be determined based upon the
performance of the selected funds.


         Deferral of Director'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 Director or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Director.  Pursuant to an Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Fund may invest in the funds selected by the Director under the plan without shareholder approval
for the limited purpose of determining the value of the Director's deferred fee account.

         |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

         |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 Equity Portfolio Department provide the
portfolio managers with counsel and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

         The agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with adequate office space,
facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all
administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the Fund.

         Those responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to its
operations, the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration
statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.

         The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement or paid by the
general distributors of shares of the Fund. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund.
The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to certain Directors, legal and audit
expenses, custodian bank and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and registration
costs and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs.  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.

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


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

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

              |X| Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement. Each year, the Board of Directors, including
a majority of the Independent Directors, 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 Directors, 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 commissions 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 Directors.


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

         Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary market are generally
done with principals or market makers.  In transactions on foreign exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay
fixed brokerage commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated commissions available in U.S.
markets.  Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for transactions in listed securities or for certain
fixed-income agency transactions in the secondary market. Otherwise brokerage commissions are paid only if it
appears likely that a better price or execution can be obtained by doing so.   In an option transaction, the Fund
ordinarily uses the same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to
which the option relates.  Other funds advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of the
Fund. Those other funds may purchase or sell the same securities as the Fund at the same time as the Fund, which
could affect the supply and price of the securities. If two or more funds advised by the Manager purchase the
same security on the same day from the same dealer, the transactions under those combined orders are averaged as
to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

         Most purchases of debt obligations are principal transactions at net prices.  Instead of using a broker
for those transactions, the Fund normally deals directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker
unless the Manager determines that a better price or execution can be obtained by using the services of a
broker.  Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters include a commission or concession paid by the
issuer to the underwriter.  Purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices.  The Fund
seeks to obtain prompt execution of these orders at the most favorable net price.

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

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

         The Board of Directors 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 Directors 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's parent corporation, 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.  Expenses normally attributable to sales are borne by the
Distributor.


         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

         For additional information about distribution of the Fund's shares, including fees and expenses, please
refer to "Distribution and Service Plans," below.

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 reimburses 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 Directors, including a majority of the Independent
Directors1, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.  The shareholder vote for
the Distribution and Service Plan for Class N shares was cast by the Manager as the sole initial holder of Class
N shares of the Fund.

         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.

         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 Directors and its Independent Directors 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 Directors
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 Directors and the Independent Directors 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.

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

         Each Plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Directors of the
Fund's parent corporation who are not "interested persons" of the corporation (or the Fund) is committed to the
discretion of the Independent Directors.  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 Directors.

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

              |_| Class A Service Plan.  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 August 31, 2002 payments under the Class A Plan totaled $17,613,557, all of
which was paid by the Distributor to recipients. That included $903,757 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.


         |_| Class B, Class C and Class N Service and Distribution Plan.  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. The Class B, Class C and Class N plans
allow the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate for its services and costs in distributing Class B, Class
C and Class N shares and servicing accounts, 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 shares are
purchased. After the first year 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 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.  The Distributor retains the asset based sales charge on Class N shares.  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 Class B, Class C
and Class N shares.  The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:

o        pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays service fees as
         described above,
o        may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the service fee payment to recipients
         under the plans, or may provide such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an
         affiliate,
o        employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares, 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
Directors may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for
distributing shares before the plan was terminated.

Performance of the Fund


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

         The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must comply with rules of the
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).

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

         o    Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the Fund over various periods
and do not show the performance of each shareholder's account. Your account's performance will vary from the
model performance data if your dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period, or
you bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the model.

         o    An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
         o    The Fund's performance returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and capital gains
distributions.
         o    The principal value of the Fund's shares and total returns are not guaranteed and normally will
fluctuate on a daily basis.
         o    When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost.
         o    Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information and are not,
and should not be considered, a prediction of future returns.

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


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

         In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a
percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment ("P") (unless the return is shown
without sales charge, as described below).  For Class B shares, payment of the applicable contingent deferred
sales charge is applied, depending on the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in
the second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth year and none
thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1% 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 3.1.01 (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 on Class Y
shares.

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:


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

                                                 [OBJECT OMITTED]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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


              |_| 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:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 [OBJECT OMITTED]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

         |_|  Lipper Rankings.  From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the performance of its
classes of shares by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper").  Lipper is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring
service.  Lipper monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their
performance for various periods based on categories based on investment styles.  The performance of the Fund is
ranked by Lipper against all other large-cap growth funds. 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.

              |_| 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 large blend
category.

         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.

|_|      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, comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk,
         or other characteristics of the Fund.

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 request it when you buy shares.

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

1 - "OSM" stands for Oppenheimer Select Managers

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

Letters of Intent.  Under a Letter of Intent, 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.  To establish an Asset Builder Plan to
buy shares directly from a bank account,  you must enclose a
check (the  minimum is $25) for the  initial  purchase  with
your application. Currently, the minimum investment is $25
to establish an Asset Builder Plan, and will remain at $25
for those accounts established prior to November 1, 2002.
However, as described above under "AccountLink," for Asset
Builder Plans established on or after November 1, 2002, the
minimum investment for new Asset Builder Plans will
increase to $50, each purchase must be at least $50 and
                                                    ---
shareholders must invest at least $500 before an Asset
Builder Plan can be established. 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, Directors' 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 Directors, 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 charged on any account valued at less than $500.  This
fee will not be charged for:
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 first fee is charged annually on or about the
second to last business day of September.  This annual fee
will be 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

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, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day
and Christmas Day.  It may also close on other days.

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


         Changes in the values of securities traded on
foreign exchanges or markets as a result of events that
occur after the prices of those securities are determined,
but before the close of The New York Stock 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
Directors has established procedures for the valuation of
the Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as
follows:

              Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities
exchange or on Nasdaq(R)are valued as follows:
                  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
(2)      if last sale information is not available on a
                      valuation date, they are valued at
                      the last reported sale price
                      preceding the valuation date if it is
                      within the spread of the closing
                      "bid" and "asked" prices on the
                      valuation date or, if not,  at the
                      closing "bid" price on the valuation
                      date.



              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 Directors, 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.

              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
Directors 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 Directors
or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in
the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)      debt instruments that have a maturity of more than

                      397 days when issued,
(2)      debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days
                      or less when issued and have a
                      remaining maturity of more than 60
                      days, and
(3)      non-money market debt instruments that had a
                      maturity of 397 days or less when
                      issued and which have a remaining
                      maturity of 60 days or less.
         The following securities are valued at cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts:o
(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.

              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 Directors. The pricing service may
use "matrix" comparisons to the prices for comparable
instruments on the basis of quality, yield and maturity.
Other special factors may be involved (such as the
tax-exempt status of the interest paid by municipal
securities).  The Manager will monitor the accuracy of the
pricing services. That monitoring may include comparing
prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices
of selected securities.

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

         Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last
sale price on the principal exchange on which they are
traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, as determined by a
pricing service approved by the Board of Directors 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.


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

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

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

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

              the distribution is premature; and
(3)      conform to the requirements of the plan and the
              Fund's other redemption requirements.


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

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

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers
and Brokers.  The Distributor is the Fund's agent to
repurchase its shares from authorized dealers or brokers on
behalf of their customers.  Shareholders should contact
their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption.
The repurchase price per share will be the net asset value
next computed after the Distributor receives an order
placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the Distributor
receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after
the close of The New York Stock 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 $25. Effective November 1, 2002,
the minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund
account is $50. Instructions should be provided on the
OppenheimerFunds Application or signature-guaranteed
instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject
to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in
"How to Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in
this Statement of Additional Information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         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 Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust                        Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc

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

         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:

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

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

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

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

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

o        With respect to Class 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.

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

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

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

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

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

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



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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject
to foreign taxes withheld at the source.  The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign
countries which entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.

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

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

         The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 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.

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

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

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

         Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not "effectively connected income")
to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains
a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign
person's country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income
dividends paid by the Fund. 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.

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 33 OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET(R) GROWTH & INCOME FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Oppenheimer Main Street Growth & Income Fund (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high total return. 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 Directors, or at their fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations. 34 OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET(R) GROWTH & INCOME FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 tax provision is required, however, during the year ended August 31, 2002, the Fund paid a federal excise tax of $71,455. As of August 31, 2002, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss carryforward as follows: EXPIRING
2010 $878,523,150 As of August 31, 2002, the Fund had approximately $829,324,000 of post-October losses available to offset future capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2011. Additionally, the Fund had approximately $276,000 of post-October foreign currency losses which were deferred. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 35 OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET(R) GROWTH & INCOME FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued 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 August 31, 2002, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $71,455, a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $1,270,195, and a decrease in accumulated net realized loss on investments of $1,341,650. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications. The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001 was as follows: YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002 AUGUST 31, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 15,915,353 $ 25,194,383 Long-term capital gain 23,639,216 940,486,713 Return of capital -- -- ------------------------------- Total $ 39,554,569 $ 965,681,096 =============================== As of August 31, 2002, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed net investment income $ 20,383,192 Accumulated net realized loss (1,775,439,571) Net unrealized appreciation 139,421,165 --------------- Total $(1,615,635,214) =============== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 36 OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET(R) GROWTH & INCOME FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended August 31, 2002, were $10,184,882,477 and $11,160,641,583, respectively. As of August 31, 2002, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on cost of securities for federal income tax purposes of $11,328,850,136 was composed of: Gross unrealized appreciation $ 1,163,393,711 Gross unrealized depreciation (1,091,281,823)
Net unrealized appreciation $ 72,111,888 =============== 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 0.65% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.60% of the next $150 million, 0.55% of the next $150 million, and 0.45% of average annual net assets in excess of $500 million. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $19.75 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12B-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Manager, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor) acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the different classes of shares of the Fund. 38 OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET(R) GROWTH & INCOME FUND The compensation paid to (or retained by) the Distributor from the sale of shares or on the redemption of shares is shown in the table below for the period indicated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided by a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign currency transactions. Such realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2002, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ILLIQUID SECURITIES As of August 31, 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 August 31, 2002 was $1,258,400, which represents 0.01% of the Fund's net assets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. 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 August 31, 2002. 40 OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET(R) GROWTH & INCOME FUND

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. B-1

Appendix C

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

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

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

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

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

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

   Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases

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

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

        There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under “Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.”5 This waiver provision applies to:

Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
  Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3) certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan purchases of $200,000 or more.

Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made: 1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases, or
  2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.

Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the following record-keeping arrangements: 1) The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch")
  on a daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment Management, L.P. (“MLIM”), that are made available under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund’s principal underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as “Applicable Investments”).

  2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.

  3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

   Special Sales Charge Arrangements for Shareholders of Certain Oppenheimer Funds Who Were Shareholders of

Connecticut Mutual Investment Accounts, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial and contingent deferred sale charge rates and waivers for Class A and Class B shares described in the respective Prospectus (or this Appendix) of the following Oppenheimer funds (each is referred to as a “Fund” in this section):

Oppenheimer U. S. Government Trust, Oppenheimer Bond Fund, Oppenheimer Value Fund and Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund

are modified as described below for those Fund shareholders who were shareholders of the following funds (referred to as the “Former Connecticut Mutual Funds”) on March 1, 1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment adviser to the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds:

Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account Connecticut Mutual Total Return Account Connecticut Mutual Government Securities Account CMIA LifeSpan Capital Appreciation Account Connecticut Mutual Income Account CMIA LifeSpan Balanced Account Connecticut Mutual Growth Account CMIA Diversified Income Account A. Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

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

Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
  1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18, 1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to the Fund’s policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and

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

        Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and still holds Class A shares:

__________ 1 Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Malone were appointed as Directors of the Board II Funds effective June 1, 2002 and therefore did not receive compensation from any of the Board II Funds.

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term “Independent Directors” in this Statement of Additional Information refers to those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (or its parent corporation) and who do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan..

1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund. 2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales charges mean the Fund’s Early Withdrawal Charges and references to “redemptions” mean “repurchases” of shares.

3 An “employee benefit plan” means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is “qualified” under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.

4 The term “Group Retirement Plan” means any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than plans for public school employees. The term “Group Retirement Plan” also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.

5 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year. 6 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

7 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs. 8 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.

9 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

10 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan. 11 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

Item 24. - Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund

None.

Item 25. - Indemnification

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. - Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser

(a) OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment adviser of the Registrant; it and certain subsidiaries and affiliates act in the same capacity to other investment companies, including without limitation those described in Parts A and B hereof and listed in Item 26(b) below.
