Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks


         The  investment  objective  and 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 the types of
securities  that the  Fund's  investment  manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.,  (the  "Manager")  will  select  for the Fund.  Additional
explanations are also provided about the strategies the Fund may use to try to achieve its objective.


The Fund's  Investment  Policies.  The Fund does not make  investments  with the objective of seeking capital growth,  since that would
generally be inconsistent  with its goal of seeking  tax-exempt  income.  However,  the value of the securities held by the Fund may be
affected  by changes in general  interest  rates.  Because  the current  value of debt  securities  varies  inversely  with  changes in
prevailing  interest  rates,  if interest  rates  increased  after a security was purchased,  that security  would normally  decline in
value.  Conversely, should interest rates decrease after a security was purchased, normally its value would rise.

         However,  those  fluctuations in value will not generally result in realized gains or losses to the Fund unless the Fund sells
the security  prior to maturity.  A debt security held to maturity is  redeemable  by its issuer at full  principal  value plus accrued
interest.  The Fund does not usually intend to dispose of securities prior to their maturity,  but may do so for liquidity,  or because
of other factors affecting the issuer that cause the Manager to sell the particular  security.  In that case, the Fund could experience
a capital gain or loss on the sale.

         There are  variations  in the credit  quality of municipal  securities,  both within a particular  rating  classification  and
between  classifications.  These  variations  depend on numerous  factors.  The yields of  municipal  securities  depend on a number of
factors,  including general  conditions in the municipal  securities  market,  the size of a particular  offering,  the maturity of the
obligation and rating (if any) of the issue. These factors are discussed in greater detail below.

Municipal  Securities.  The types of municipal  securities  in which the Fund may invest are described in the  Prospectus  under "About
the Fund's  Investments."  Municipal  securities  are generally  classified as general  obligation  bonds,  revenue bonds and notes.  A
discussion of the general characteristics of these principal types of municipal securities follows below.

         |X|  Municipal   Bonds.  We  have  classified   longer  term  municipal   securities  as  "municipal   bonds."  The  principal
classifications of long-term municipal bonds are "general  obligation" and "revenue" (including  "industrial  development") bonds. They
may have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest, as described below.

         Some bonds may be  "callable,"  allowing  the issuer to redeem  them  before  their  maturity  date.  To protect  bondholders,
callable  bonds may be issued with  provisions  that prevent them from being  called for a period of time.  Typically,  that is 5 to 10
years from the issuance date.  When interest rates decline,  if the call  protection on a bond has expired,  it is more likely that the
issuer may call the bond.  If that  occurs,  the Fund might have to reinvest  the proceeds of the called bond in bonds that pay a lower
rate of return.

                  |_| General  Obligation Bonds. The basic security behind general  obligation bonds is the issuer's pledge of its full
faith and credit and taxing,  if any, power for the repayment of principal and the payment of interest.  Issuers of general  obligation
bonds include states,  counties,  cities,  towns,  and regional  districts.  The proceeds of these  obligations are used to fund a wide
range of public  projects,  including  construction  or improvement of schools,  highways and roads,  and water and sewer systems.  The
rate of taxes that can be levied for the payment of debt service on these bonds may be limited or  unlimited.  Additionally,  there may
be limits as to the rate or amount of special assessments that can be levied to meet these obligations.

                  |_|  Revenue  Bonds.  The  principal  security  for a revenue  bond is  generally  the net  revenues  derived  from a
particular  facility,  group of facilities,  or, in some cases,  the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Revenue bonds are issued to finance a wide variety of capital  projects.  Examples  include  electric,  gas,  water and sewer  systems;
highways, bridges, and tunnels; port and airport facilities; colleges and universities; and hospitals.

                  Although  the  principal  security  for these  types of bonds may vary from  bond to bond,  many  provide  additional
security  in the form of a debt  service  reserve  fund  that may be used to make  principal  and  interest  payments  on the  issuer's
obligations.  Housing  finance  authorities  have a wide range of  security,  including  partially  or fully  insured  mortgages,  rent
subsidized and/or  collateralized  mortgages,  and/or the net revenues from housing or other public projects.  Some authorities provide
further security in the form of a state's ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve fund.

                  |_| Industrial  Development Bonds.  Industrial  development bonds are considered municipal bonds if the interest paid
is exempt from federal income tax. They are issued by or on behalf of public  authorities to raise money to finance  various  privately
operated  facilities for business and manufacturing,  housing,  sports, and pollution control.  These bonds may also be used to finance
public  facilities  such as airports,  mass transit  systems,  ports,  and parking.  The payment of the  principal and interest on such
bonds is dependent solely on the ability of the facility's user to meet its financial  obligations and the pledge,  if any, of real and
personal property financed by the bond as security for those payments.

                  |_| Mello-Roos  Bonds.  These are bonds issued under the California  Mello-Roos  Community  Facilities  Act. They are
used to finance  infrastructure  projects,  such as roads or sewage  treatment  plants.  In most cases they are  secured by real estate
taxes levied on property  located in the same  community as the  project.  This type of financing  was created in response to statutory
limits on real property  taxes that were enacted in California.  The bonds do not  constitute an obligation of a municipal  government.
Timely payment of principal and interest  depends on the ability of the developer of the project or other property  owners to pay their
real estate taxes.  Therefore  these bonds are subject to risks of nonpayment as a result of a general  economic  decline or decline in
the real estate market, as well as the credit risk that of the developer.

                  |_| Private Activity Municipal  Securities.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Tax Reform Act")  reorganized,  as well
as amended,  the rules  governing tax exemption  for interest on certain  types of municipal  securities.  The Tax Reform Act generally
did not change the tax treatment of bonds issued in order to finance  governmental  operations.  Thus,  interest on general  obligation
bonds  issued by or on  behalf  of state or local  governments,  the  proceeds  of which are used to  finance  the  operations  of such
governments,  continues  to be  tax-exempt.  However,  the Tax Reform Act  limited  the use of  tax-exempt  bonds for  non-governmental
(private)  purposes.  More  stringent  restrictions  were  placed on the use of proceeds  of such  bonds.  Interest on certain  private
activity bonds is taxable under the revised  rules.  There is an exception for  "qualified"  tax-exempt  private  activity  bonds,  for
example,  exempt facility bonds including certain industrial  development bonds,  qualified mortgage bonds, qualified Section 501(c)(3)
bonds, and qualified student loan bonds.

         In addition,  limitations as to the amount of private  activity bonds which each state may issue were revised  downward by the
Tax Reform  Act,  which will  reduce the supply of such  bonds.  The value of the  Fund's  portfolio  could be  affected  if there is a
reduction in the availability of such bonds.


         Interest on certain private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986,  which continues to be tax-exempt,  will be treated as
a tax preference item subject to the federal  alternative  minimum tax (discussed  below) to which certain  taxpayers are subject.  The
Fund may hold municipal  securities the interest on which (and thus a proportionate share of the exempt-interest  dividends paid by the
Fund) will be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations.


         The federal  alternative  minimum tax is  designed to ensure that all persons who receive  income pay some tax,  even if their
regular tax is zero.  This is  accomplished  in part by  including  in taxable  income  certain tax  preference  items that are used to
calculate  alternative  minimum taxable income.  The Tax Reform Act made tax-exempt  interest from certain private activity bonds a tax
preference item for purposes of the alternative  minimum tax on individuals and corporations.  Any  exempt-interest  dividend paid by a
regulated  investment  company  will be treated as  interest on a specific  private  activity  bond to the extent of the  proportionate
relationship the interest the investment company receives on such bonds bears to all its exempt interest dividends.

         In addition,  corporate  taxpayers  subject to the  alternative  minimum tax may,  under some  circumstances,  have to include
exempt-interest  dividends in calculating their alternative  minimum taxable income. That could occur in situations where the "adjusted
current earnings" of the corporation exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income.

         To determine  whether a municipal  security is treated as a taxable private  activity bond, it is subject to a test for: (a) a
trade or business use and security interest,  or (b) a private loan restriction.  Under the trade or business use and security interest
test, an obligation is a private  activity bond if: (i) more than 10% of the bond proceeds are used for private  business  purposes and
(ii) 10% or more of the payment of  principal  or interest on the issue is directly or  indirectly  derived from such private use or is
secured by the privately  used property or the payments  related to the use of the property.  For certain types of uses, a 5% threshold
is substituted for this 10% threshold.

         The term  "private  business  use" means any direct or indirect  use in a trade or  business  carried on by an  individual  or
entity other than a state or municipal  governmental  unit.  Under the private loan  restriction,  the amount of bond proceeds that may
be used to make  private  loans is limited to the lesser of 5% or $5.0  million of the  proceeds.  Thus,  certain  issues of  municipal
securities could lose their tax-exempt status  retroactively if the issuer fails to meet certain  requirements as to the expenditure of
the proceeds of that issue or the use of the bond-financed  facility. The Fund makes no independent  investigation of the users of such
bonds or their use of proceeds  of the bonds.  If the Fund should hold a bond that loses its  tax-exempt  status  retroactively,  there
might be an adjustment to the tax-exempt income previously distributed to shareholders.

         Additionally,  a private  activity bond that would otherwise be a qualified  tax-exempt  private activity bond will not, under
Internal  Revenue Code Section  147(a),  be a qualified  bond for any period during which it is held by a person who is a  "substantial
user" of the facilities or by a "related person" of such a substantial  user. This  "substantial  user" provision  applies primarily to
exempt facility bonds,  including industrial  development bonds. The Fund may invest in industrial  development bonds and other private
activity  bonds.  Therefore,  the Fund may not be an  appropriate  investment for entities  which are  "substantial  users" (or persons
related to  "substantial  users") of such exempt  facilities.  Those  entities and persons  should  consult  their tax advisers  before
purchasing shares of the Fund.

         A "substantial  user" of such facilities is defined  generally as a "non-exempt  person who regularly uses part of a facility"
financed  from the proceeds of exempt  facility  bonds.  Generally,  an  individual  will not be a "related  person" under the Internal
Revenue Code unless such individual or the individual's  immediate  family (spouse,  brothers,  sisters and immediate  descendants) own
directly or indirectly in the aggregate more than 50% in value of the equity of a corporation  or  partnership  which is a "substantial
user" of a facility financed from the proceeds of exempt facility bonds.

         |X|  Municipal  Notes.  Municipal  securities  having a  maturity  (when the  security  is  issued)  of less than one year are
generally known as municipal  notes.  Municipal notes generally are used to provide for short-term  working capital needs.  Some of the
types of municipal notes the Fund can invest in are described below.

                  |_| Tax Anticipation  Notes.  These are issued to finance working capital needs of  municipalities.  Generally,  they
are issued in anticipation of various  seasonal tax revenue,  such as income,  sales, use or other business taxes, and are payable from
these specific future taxes.

                  |_| Revenue  Anticipation  Notes.  These are notes issued in expectation  of receipt of other types of revenue,  such
as federal revenues available under federal revenue-sharing programs.

                  |_| Bond  Anticipation  Notes.  Bond  anticipation  notes are issued to provide  interim  financing  until  long-term
financing can be arranged.  The long-term bonds that are issued typically also provide the money for the repayment of the notes.

                  |_|  Construction  Loan Notes.  These are sold to provide project  construction  financing until permanent  financing
can be secured.  After  successful  completion  and  acceptance  of the project,  it may receive  permanent  financing  through  public
agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration.

                  |_| Tax-Exempt  Commercial Paper. This type of short-term  obligation  (usually having a maturity of 270 days or less
is issued by a municipality to meet current working capital needs.

         |X| Municipal  Lease  Obligations.  The Fund's  investments in municipal  lease  obligations  may be through  certificates  of
participation  that are  offered to  investors  by public  entities.  Municipal  leases may take the form of a lease or an  installment
purchase  contract  issued by a state or local  government  authority  to obtain  funds to  acquire a wide  variety  of  equipment  and
facilities.


         Some  municipal  lease  securities may be deemed to be "illiquid"  securities.  Their purchase by the Fund would be limited as
described  below in  "Illiquid  Securities."  From time to time the Fund may invest more than 5% of its net assets in  municipal  lease
obligations that the Manager has determined to be liquid under guidelines set by the Board of Trustees.

         Those guidelines require the Manager to evaluate:

         |_| the frequency of trades and price quotations for such securities;

|_|      the number of dealers or other potential buyers willing to purchase or sell such securities;

|_|      the availability of market-makers; and

         |_|  the nature of the trades for such securities.

         While the Fund holds such  securities,  the  Manager  will also  evaluate  the  likelihood  of a  continuing  market for these
securities and their credit quality.

         Municipal leases have special risk  considerations.  Although lease obligations do not constitute  general  obligations of the
municipality  for which the  municipality's  taxing power is pledged,  a lease  obligation is ordinarily  backed by the  municipality's
covenant to budget for,  appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation.  However,  certain lease obligations contain
"non-appropriation"  clauses which provide that the  municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment  purchase  payments in
future years unless money is appropriated  for that purpose on a yearly basis.  While the obligation  might be secured by the lease, it
might be difficult to dispose of that property in case of a default.

         Projects financed with  certificates of participation  generally are not subject to state  constitutional  debt limitations or
other  statutory  requirements  that may  apply to  other  municipal  securities.  Payments  by the  public  entity  on the  obligation
underlying  the  certificates  are derived from  available  revenue  sources.  That  revenue  might be diverted to the funding of other
municipal  service  projects.  Payments of interest  and/or  principal with respect to the  certificates  are not guaranteed and do not
constitute an obligation of a state or any of its political subdivisions.

         In  addition  to the risk of  "non-appropriation,"  municipal  lease  securities  do not  have as  highly  liquid a market  as
conventional  municipal  bonds.  Municipal  leases,  like other municipal debt  obligations,  are subject to the risk of non-payment of
interest or  repayment of principal  by the issuer.  The ability of issuers of  municipal  leases to make timely lease  payments may be
adversely  affected in general economic  downturns and as relative  governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal,  state and
local  governmental  units.  A default in payment of income would result in a reduction of income to the Fund.  It could also result in
a reduction in the value of the municipal  lease and that,  as well as a default in repayment of principal,  could result in a decrease
in the net asset value of the Fund.

         |X| Ratings of Municipal  Securities.  Ratings by ratings  organizations such as Moody's Investors Service,  Standard & Poor's
Corporation and Fitch IBCA, Inc.  represent the respective rating agency's  opinions of the credit quality of the municipal  securities
they undertake to rate. However,  their ratings are general opinions and are not guarantees of quality.  Municipal securities that have
the same maturity,  coupon and rating may have  different  yields,  while other  municipal  securities  that have the same maturity and
coupon but different ratings may have the same yield.

         Lower grade  securities may have a higher yield than securities rated in the higher rating  categories.  In addition to having
a greater risk of default than higher-grade,  securities,  there may be less of a market for these securities.  As a result they may be
harder to sell at an acceptable  price.  The additional  risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated  level of income from
these  securities,  and the Fund's net asset  value may be  affected  by  declines  in the value of  lower-grade  securities.  However,
because the added risk of lower quality  securities  might not be consistent  with the Fund's policy of  preservation  of capital,  the
Fund limits its investments in lower quality securities.

         Subsequent  to its  purchase by the Fund, a municipal  security  may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced  below the
minimum  required for purchase by the Fund.  Neither event  requires the Fund to sell the security,  but the Manager will consider such
events in determining  whether the Fund should continue to hold the security.  To the extent that ratings given by Moody's,  Standard &
Poor's,  or Fitch change as a result of changes in those rating  organizations  or their rating  systems,  the Fund will attempt to use
comparable ratings as standards for investments in accordance with the Fund's investment policies.

         The Fund may buy municipal  securities that are  "pre-refunded."  The issuer's  obligation to repay the principal value of the
security is  generally  collateralized  with U.S.  Government  securities  placed in an escrow  account.  This causes the  pre-refunded
security to have essentially the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security.

         A list of the rating  categories  of  Moody's,  S&P and Fitch for  municipal  securities  is  contained  in Appendix A to this
Statement of  Additional  Information.  Because the Fund may  purchase  securities  that are unrated by  nationally  recognized  rating
organizations,  the Manager will make its own  assessment of the credit  quality of unrated  issues the Fund buys. The Manager will use
criteria  similar to those used by the rating  agencies,  and assigning a rating  category to a security that is comparable to what the
Manager  believes a rating agency would assign to that security.  However,  the Manager's rating does not constitute a guarantee of the
quality of a particular issue.


Special  Risks of Investing  Primarily in  California  Municipal  Securities.  Because the Fund  focuses its  investments  primarily on
California  municipal  securities,  the value of its  portfolio  investments  will be highly  sensitive to events  affecting the fiscal
stability of the state of California and its  municipalities,  authorities and other  instrumentalities  that issue  securities.  There
have been a number of political  developments,  voter  initiatives,  state  constitutional  amendments and legislation in California in
recent years that may affect the ability of the state  government and municipal  governments to pay interest and repay principal on the
securities they have issued.  In addition,  in recent years, the state of California has derived a significant  portion of its revenues
from  personal  income  and sales  taxes.  Because  the amount  collected  from  these  taxes is  particularly  sensitive  to  economic
conditions, the State's revenues have been volatile.

         It is not  possible to predict  the future  impact of the  legislation  and  economic  considerations  described  below on the
long-term  ability  of the  state  of  California  or  California  municipal  issuers  to pay  interest  or  repay  principal  on their
obligations.  In part  that is  because  of  possible  inconsistencies  in the  terms  of the  various  laws and  Propositions  and the
applicability  of other  statutes to these  issues.  The budgets of  California  counties and local  governments  may be  significantly
affected by state budget decisions beyond their control.  The information  below about these conditions is only a brief summary,  based
upon information the Fund has drawn from sources that it believes are reliable.

              Changes to the State  Constitution.  Changes to the state constitution in recent years have raised general concerns about
the ability of the state and municipal  governments  in  California to obtain  sufficient  revenues to pay their bond  obligations.  In
1978,  California voters approved  Proposition 13, an amendment to the state  constitution.  The Proposition added a new section to the
constitution  that limits ad valorem  taxes on real  property  and  restricts  the ability of local  taxing  entities to increase  real
property taxes.  However,  legislation  enacted after Proposition 13 provided help to California  municipal issuers to raise revenue to
pay their bond obligations.  During the severe recession  California  experienced from 1991 to 1993, the state  legislature  eliminated
significant  components of its aid to local  governments.  The state has since  increased aid to local  governments and reduced certain
mandates for local  services.  Whether  legislation  will be enacted in the future to either increase or reduce the  redistribution  of
state  revenues  to local  governments,  or to make them less  dependent  on state  budget  decisions,  cannot  be  predicted.  Even if
legislation  increasing such  redistribution  is passed,  it cannot be predicted  whether in every instance it will provide  sufficient
revenue for local municipal issuers to pay their bond obligations.

         Another  amendment to the state  constitution  may also have an adverse impact on state and municipal bond  obligations.  That
amendment  restricts the state  government  from spending  amounts in excess of  appropriation  limits  imposed on each state and local
government  entity.  If  revenues  exceed the  appropriation  limit,  one-half of those  revenues  must be  returned,  in the form of a
revision in the tax rates or fee schedules.


              Voter  Initiatives.  California  voters have  approved a number of  initiatives  that affect the ability of the state and
municipalities to finance their bond obligations.  In 1988,  California voters approved  Proposition 98, which requires a minimum level
of funding for public schools and community colleges.


         In 1996,  California  voters  approved  Proposition  218. It requires that all taxes levied by local  governments  for general
purposes be approved by a simple  majority of the popular vote, and that taxes levied by local  governments  for special  purposes must
be approved by a two-thirds  majority vote.  Proposition 218 also limits the authority of local governments to impose  property-related
assessments,  fees and charges.  It requires that such assessments be limited to the special benefit  conferred and prohibits their use
for general governmental services.

              Effect of other State Laws on Bond  Obligations.  Some of the  tax-exempt  securities  that the Fund can invest in may be
obligations  payable  solely  from the  revenues of a specific  institution  or secured by  specific  properties.  These are subject to
provisions of California  law that could  adversely  affect the holders of such  obligations.  For example,  the revenues of California
health care  institutions  may be adversely  affected by state laws, and California law limits the remedies of a creditor  secured by a
mortgage or deed of trust on real  property.  Debt  obligations  payable solely from revenues of health care  institutions  may also be
insured by the state but no guarantee  exists that  adequate  reserve  funds will be  appropriated  by the state  legislature  for such
purpose.

                  The Effect of General Economic Conditions in the state.  The California economy and general financial condition
affect the ability of the state and local government to raise and redistribute revenues to assist issuers of municipal securities to
make timely payments on their obligations.  California is the most populous state in the nation with a total population estimated at
34 million.  California has a diverse economy, with major employment in the agriculture, manufacturing, high technology, services,
trade, entertainment and construction sectors.  After experiencing strong growth throughout much of the 1980s, from 1990-1993 the
state suffered through a severe recession, the worst since the 1930's, heavily influenced by large cutbacks in defense/aerospace
industries,  military  base closures and a major drop in real estate  construction.  The recession  reduced  state  revenues  while its
health and welfare costs were increasing.  Consequently,  the state had a lengthy period of budget imbalance. During the recession, the
state legislature eliminated significant components of its aid to local government.

         With the end of the  recession,  the state's  financial  condition  has improved,  with a combination  of better than expected
revenues,  slowdown in growth of social welfare programs,  and continued  spending  restraint.  The accumulated budget deficit from the
recession  years has been  eliminated  and no deficit  borrowing has occurred at the end of the last five fiscal  years.  The state has
also increased aid to local governments and reduced certain mandates for local services.

         In mid-2000,  wholesale  electricity  prices in California began to rise,  swiftly and dramatically.  Retail electricity rates
permitted to be charged by California's  investor-owned  utilities  ("IOU') had previously been frozen by California law. The resulting
shortfall between revenues and costs adversely  affected the  creditworthiness  of the IOUs and their ability to purchase  electricity.
In the face of those  difficulties  and serious  shortages of  electricity,  the  Governor  proclaimed a state of emergency to exist in
California and directed the Department of Water Resources  ("DWR") to enter into contracts and  arrangements  for the purchase and sale
of electric  power using  advances from the state's  General Fund, as necessary to assist in mitigating  the effects of the  emergency.
The DWR's power  supply  program is designed to cover the  shortfall  between  the amount of  electricity  required by retail  electric
customers of California's IOUs and the amount of electricity produced by the IOUs and purchased by the IOUs under existing contracts.

         Between January 17, 2001 and October 15, 2001, DWR committed  approximately $11.3 billion under the power supply program.  DWR
has announced plans to issue approximately $12.5 billion in revenue bonds to purchase  electricity,  which would be repaid over time by
ratepayers.  Neither  the faith and credit nor the taxing  power of the state will be pledged to pay the revenue  bonds.  The timing of
the DWR bond sales is dependent on action by the California Public Utilities  Commission and other factors,  including  potential legal
challenges.  Although  this crisis has  moderated in the past few months,  the State  Department  of Finance  believes  that  short-and
long-term business investment and location decisions may be adversely affected by the energy crisis.

         Although  California's  growth continues to outpace the nation, the early months of 2001 revealed a significant  moderation in
the state's economic growth.  The May 2001-02 Revision  published by a Legislative  Analyst's Office disclosed a reversal of the recent
General Fund  financial  trend as a result of the slowdown in economic  growth in the state  starting in the first  quarter of 2001 and
most particularly the steep drop in market levels since early 2000.

         Certain of the state's  significant  industries,  such as high  technology,  are  sensitive to economic  disruptions  in their
export markets and the state's rate of economic growth,  therefore,  could be adversely affected by any such disruption.  A significant
downturn in U.S.  stock  market  prices  could  adversely  affect  California's  economy by reducing  household  spending  and business
investment,  particularly in the important high technology sector.  Moreover,  a large and increasing share of the state's General Fund
revenue in the form of income and capital  gains  taxes is  directly  related  to, and would be  adversely  affected  by a  significant
downturn in the performance of, the stock markets.


         In  addition,  it is  impossible  to predict  the time,  magnitude  or  location  of a major  earthquake  or its effect on the
California  economy.  In January 1994, a major  earthquake  struck the Los Angeles area,  causing  significant  damage in a four county
area.  The  possibility  exists  that  another  such  earthquake  could  create  a major  dislocation  of the  California  economy  and
significantly affect state and local government budgets.


         On July 26, 2001, the Governor signed the 2001 Budget Act enacting the state's fiscal year 2001-02 budget. The spending plan
projects General Fund revenues of $75.1 billion, a drop of $2.9 billion from revised 2000-01 estimates. The 2001 Budget Act includes
General Fund expenditures of $78.8 billion, a reduction of $1.3 billion from the prior year, which could be accomplished without
serious program cuts because such a large part of the 2000 Budget Act was comprised of one-time expenditures. The 2001 Budget Act
also includes Special Fund expenditures of $21.3 billion and Bond Fund expenditures of $3.2 billion. The Governor held back $500
million as a set aside for litigation costs and vetoed almost $500 million in General Fund  expenditures  from the Budget passed by the
legislature.

         The state issued  approximately  $5.7 billion of revenue  anticipation notes on October 4, 2001 as part of its cash management
program.  The  Department  of Finance  estimated in the 2001 Budget Act that the June 30, 2001 Special Fund for Economic  Uncertainties
("SFEU") balance,  the budget reserve,  will be approximately  $6.3 billion,  although this reserve has been virtually entirely used to
provide  advances to support the DWR power purchase  program.  The 2001 Budget Act uses more than half of the budget surplus as of June
30,  2001,  but has a projected  balance in the SFEU at June 30,  2002 of $2.6  billion.  The 2001 Budget Act assumes the $6.1  billion
advanced by the General Fund to the Department of Water Resources for power purchases will be repaid with interest.

         Since the enactment of the 2001 Budget Act, the Governor has signed into law several  spending  bills or tax credits  totaling
an estimated  $110 million for the General Fund for 2001-02,  which would in the absence of offsetting  expenditure  reductions  reduce
the  budgeted  reserve in the SFEU of $2.6  billion.  In preparing  the 2002-03  Proposed  Budget,  the Governor has informed all State
agencies (other than public safety activities and other mandatory expenditures) to prepare 15% reduction proposals.

         The  terrorist  attacks of September  11, 2001 have resulted in increased  uncertainty  regarding the economic  outlook of the
State.  Past experience  suggests that shocks to American  society of far lesser severity have resulted in a temporary loss in consumer
and business  confidence and a reduction in the rate of economic growth.  With the U.S. economy already on the edge of recession before
the attacks,  a downturn in the economy in now a distinct  possibility,  with a corresponding  reduction in state General Fund revenues
which has  already  started to appear  before  September  11,  2001.  It is not  possible  at this time to project how much the state's
economy may be further affected as a result of the attacks.  The most recent economic report form the Department of Finance,  issued in
October 2001, excludes any impact from the September 11 attacks.

         During the recession the state experienced  reductions in the overall credit ratings assigned to its General  Obligation bonds
by several major rating  agencies.  In July 1994, the ratings of those bonds were downgraded from Aa to A1 by Moody's,  from A+ to A by
Standard & Poor's and from AA to A by Fitch, the international  rating agency. The state's improved economy and budget,  however,  have
resulted in several upgrades in its general  obligation bond ratings.  Worsening  economic  conditions,  in combination with the energy
crises,  have resulted in downgrades in calendar 2001. As of November 7, 2001, the state's general  obligation  bonds were rated Aa3 by
Moody's,  A+ by  Standard & Poor's,  and AA by Fitch.  It is not  presently  possible  to  determine  whether,  or the extent to which,
Moody's S&P or Fitch will change such ratings in the future.  It should be noted that the  creditworthiness  of  obligations  issued by
local California  issuers may be unrelated to the  creditworthiness  of obligations  issued by the state, and there is no obligation on
the part of the state to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

                  Financial  Problems of Local  Governments.  It is not possible to predict the future impact of the voter initiatives.
State  constitutional  amendments,  legislation or economic  considerations  described  above,  or of such  initiatives,  amendments or
legislation  that may be enacted in the future,  on the  long-term  ability of  California  municipal  issuers to pay interest or repay
principal on their  obligations.  There is no assurance  that any California  issuer will make full or timely  payments of principal or
interest or remain solvent.  For example,  in December 1994,  Orange County,  California,  together with its pooled  investment  funds,
which included  investment  funds from other local  governments,  filed for bankruptcy.  The County has since emerged from  bankruptcy.
Los Angeles  County,  the nation's  largest  county,  in the recent past has also  experienced  financial  difficulty and its financial
condition  will  continue to be affected by the large number of County  residents  who are  dependent on  government  services and by a
structural deficit in its health  department.  Moreover,  California's  improved economy has caused Los Angeles County, and other local
governments, to come under increased pressure from public employee unions for improved compensation and retirement benefits.


         Other  Investment  Techniques and  Strategies.  In seeking its  objective,  the Fund may from time to time employ the types of
investment strategies and investments described below.

         |X| Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations.     Variable rate demand  obligations  have a demand  feature that allows the
Fund to tender the  obligation  to the  issuer or a third  party  prior to its  maturity.  The tender may be at par value plus  accrued
interest, according to the terms of the obligations.

         The interest rate on a floating  rate demand note is based on a stated  prevailing  market rate,  such as a bank's prime rate,
the 91-day U.S.  Treasury  Bill rate,  or some other  standard,  and is adjusted  automatically  each time such rate is  adjusted.  The
interest  rate on a variable  rate  demand note is also based on a stated  prevailing  market  rate but is  adjusted  automatically  at
specified  intervals of not less than one year.  Generally,  the changes in the interest rate on such securities reduce the fluctuation
in their market value.  As interest rates decrease or increase,  the potential for capital  appreciation  or  depreciation is less than
that for fixed-rate  obligations of the same maturity.  The Manager may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand
obligation  meets the Fund's  quality  standards  by reason of being  backed by a letter of credit or  guarantee  issued by a bank that
meets those quality standards.

         Floating rate and variable  rate demand notes that have a stated  maturity in excess of one year may have features that permit
the holder to recover the principal  amount of the underlying  security at specified  intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more
than 30 days' notice.  The issuer of that type of note normally has a corresponding  right in its discretion,  after a given period, to
prepay the outstanding  principal  amount of the note plus accrued  interest.  Generally the issuer must provide a specified  number of
days' notice to the holder.

         |X|  Inverse  Floaters  and  Other  Derivative  Investments.  Inverse  floaters  may offer  relatively  high  current  income,
reflecting  the spread  between  short-term  and  long-term tax exempt  interest  rates.  As long as the municipal  yield curve remains
relatively  steep and short term rates remain  relatively low, owners of inverse floaters will have the opportunity to earn interest at
above-market  rates because they receive interest at the higher  long-term rates but have paid for bonds with lower  short-term  rates.
If the yield curve flattens and shifts upward,  an inverse  floater will lose value more quickly than a  conventional  long-term  bond.
The Fund will  invest in inverse  floaters  to seek  higher  tax-exempt  yields  than are  available  from  fixed-rate  bonds that have
comparable  maturities and credit  ratings.  In some cases,  the holder of an inverse floater may have an option to convert the floater
to a fixed-rate bond, pursuant to a "rate-lock" option.

         Some inverse  floaters  have a feature known as an interest  rate "cap" as part of the terms of the  investment.  Investing in
inverse  floaters that have  interest  rate caps might be part of a portfolio  strategy to try to maintain a high current yield for the
Fund when the Fund has  invested  in inverse  floaters  that  expose the Fund to the risk of  short-term  interest  rate  fluctuations.
"Embedded"  caps can be used to hedge a portion  of the  Fund's  exposure  to rising  interest  rates.  When  interest  rates  exceed a
pre-determined  rate, the cap generates  additional  cash flows that offset the decline in interest rates on the inverse  floater,  and
the hedge is successful.  However,  the Fund bears the risk that if interest rates do not rise above the  pre-determined  rate, the cap
(which is purchased for additional cost) will not provide additional cash flows and will expire worthless.

         Inverse floaters are a form of derivative investment.  Certain derivatives,  such as options,  futures, indexed securities and
entering into swap agreements,  can be used to increase or decrease the Fund's exposure to changing security prices,  interest rates or
other  factors that affect the value of  securities.  However,  these  techniques  could  result in losses to the Fund,  if the Manager
judges  market  conditions  incorrectly  or employs a strategy that does not correlate  well with the Fund's other  investments.  These
techniques  can cause  losses if the  counterparty  does not perform  its  promises.  An  additional  risk of  investing  in  municipal
securities  that are  derivative  investments  is that their market  value could be expected to vary to a much greater  extent than the
market value of municipal  securities that are not derivative  investments but have similar credit quality,  redemption  provisions and
maturities.

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


         When such  transactions  are  negotiated  the price  (which is  generally  expressed  in yield terms) is fixed at the time the
commitment is made.  Delivery and payment for the securities  take place at a later date.  Normally the  settlement  date is within six
months of the purchase of municipal bonds and notes.  However,  the Fund may, from time to time,  purchase municipal  securities having
a settlement  date more than six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date.  The  securities are subject to
change in value from market  fluctuation  during the settlement  period. 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 loss to the Fund.

         The Fund will engage in when-issued  transactions in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous  price and yield
at the time of entering into the obligation.  When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed-delivery  transactions,  it relies on the
buyer or seller,  as the case may be, to complete the  transaction.  Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the  opportunity
to obtain the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous.

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


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


         When-issued  transactions  and  forward  commitments  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 forward commitment basis, to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

         |X|  Zero-Coupon  Securities.   The  Fund  may  buy  zero-coupon  and  delayed  interest  municipal  securities.   Zero-coupon
securities do not make periodic  interest  payments and are sold at a deep discount from their face value.  The buyer recognizes a rate
of return determined by the gradual  appreciation of the security,  which is redeemed at face value on a specified  maturity date. This
discount  depends on the time remaining until  maturity,  as well as prevailing  interest rates,  the liquidity of the security and the
credit  quality of the issuer.  In the absence of threats to the  issuer's  credit  quality,  the discount  typically  decreases as the
maturity date approaches.  Some zero-coupon  securities are convertible,  in that they are zero-coupon securities until a predetermined
date, at which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.


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

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

         |X| Puts and Standby  Commitments.  When the Fund buys a municipal  security subject to a standby commitment to repurchase the
security,  the Fund is entitled to same-day  settlement from the purchaser.  The Fund receives an exercise price equal to the amortized
cost of the underlying  security plus any accrued  interest at the time of exercise.  A put purchased in  conjunction  with a municipal
security enables the Fund to sell the underlying security within a specified period of time at a fixed exercise price.

         The Fund might  purchase a standby  commitment  or put  separately  in cash or it might  acquire the  security  subject to the
standby  commitment or put (at a price that reflects that additional  feature).  The Fund will enter into these  transactions only with
banks and securities  dealers that, in the Manager's  opinion,  present  minimal credit risks.  The Fund's ability to exercise a put or
standby  commitment  will depend on the ability of the bank or dealer to pay for the  securities  if the put or standby  commitment  is
exercised.  If the bank or dealer  should  default on its  obligation,  the Fund  might not be able to recover  all or a portion of any
loss sustained from having to sell the security elsewhere.

         Puts and standby  commitments are not  transferable  by the Fund. They terminate if the Fund sells the underlying  security to
a third party. The Fund intends to enter into these arrangements to facilitate  portfolio  liquidity,  although such arrangements might
enable the Fund to sell a security at a pre-arranged  price that may be higher than the prevailing  market price at the time the put or
standby  commitment is exercised.  However,  the Fund might refrain from  exercising a put or standby  commitment if the exercise price
is  significantly  higher than the prevailing  market price,  to avoid  imposing a loss on the seller that could  jeopardize the Fund's
business relationships with the seller.

         A put or standby  commitment  increases the cost of the security and reduces the yield otherwise  available from the security.
Any consideration paid by the Fund for the put or standby  commitment will be reflected on the Fund's books as unrealized  depreciation
while the put or  standby  commitment  is held,  and a  realized  gain or loss when the put or  commitment  is  exercised  or  expires.
Interest income received by the Fund from municipal  securities  subject to puts or stand-by  commitments may not qualify as tax exempt
in its  hands if the  terms of the put or  stand-by  commitment  cause the Fund not to be  treated  as the tax owner of the  underlying
municipal securities.

         |X|  Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fund may 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.  In a repurchase  transaction,  the Fund acquires 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 a primary
dealer in government securities, which meet the credit requirements set by the Fund's Board of Trustees from time to time.

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

         Repurchase  agreements,  considered  "loans" under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 (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  collateral's  value must equal or exceed the  repurchase  price to fully  collateralize  the repayment  obligation.
Additionally,  the  Manager  will  impose  creditworthiness  requirements  to  confirm  that the vendor is  financially  sound and will
continuously  monitor the collateral's  value.  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.


         |X| Illiquid  Securities.  The Fund has percentage  limitations that apply to purchases of illiquid  securities,  as stated in
the  Prospectus.  As a matter of fundamental  policy,  the Fund cannot  purchase any  securities  that are subject to  restrictions  on
resale.

         |X| Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  To attempt to raise income or raise cash for  liquidity  purposes,  the Fund may lend its
portfolio securities to brokers,  dealers and other financial  institutions.  These loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value
of the Fund's total assets.  There are 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  that will exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in the coming year.  Income from  securities
loans does not constitute exempt-interest income for the purpose of paying tax-exempt dividends.

         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 the loaned  securities,  It also
receives one or more of (a) negotiated  loan fees, (b) interest on securities  used as collateral,  and (c) interest on short-term debt
securities  purchased with the loan  collateral.  Either type of interest may be shared with the borrower.  The Fund may pay reasonable
finder's,  administrative  or other 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|  Hedging.  The Fund may use  hedging to attempt to protect  against  declines  in the market  value of its  portfolio,  to
permit the Fund to retain  unrealized  gains in the value of portfolio  securities  that have  appreciated,  or to  facilitate  selling
securities for investment reasons.  To do so, the Fund may:

|_|      sell interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures,
|_|      buy puts on such futures or securities, or

         |_| write covered calls on securities,  broadly-based  municipal  bond indices,  interest rate futures or municipal bond index
         futures.  Covered  calls may also be written on debt  securities  to attempt to increase  the Fund's  income,  but that income
         would not be tax-exempt. Therefore it is unlikely that the Fund would write covered calls for that purpose.


         The Fund may also use hedging to establish a position in the debt securities  market as a temporary  substitute for purchasing
individual  debt  securities.  In that case the Fund will normally seek to purchase the  securities,  and then  terminate  that hedging
position.  For this type of hedging, the Fund may:

         |_| buy interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures, or
         |_| 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  investment
activities in the underlying  cash market.  The  particular  hedging  instruments  the Fund can use are described  below.  The Fund may
employ new hedging  instruments  and strategies  when they are developed,  if those  investment  methods are consistent with the Fund's
investment objective and are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

         |_|  Futures.  The Fund may buy and sell  futures  contracts  relating to debt  securities  (these are called  "interest  rate
futures") and municipal bond indices (these are referred to as "municipal bond index futures").

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

         A "municipal bond index" assigns  relative  values to the municipal  bonds in the index,  and is used as the basis for trading
long-term  municipal bond futures  contracts.  Municipal bond index futures are similar to interest rate futures except that settlement
is made only in cash.  The  obligation  under  the  contract  may also be  satisfied  by  entering  into an  offsetting  contract.  The
strategies which the Fund employs in using municipal bond index futures are similar to those with regard to interest rate futures.

         Upon  entering  into a futures  transaction,  the Fund will be required to deposit an initial  margin  payment in cash or U.S.
Government  securities  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  certain  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 the  expiration  of the  future,  the Fund may elect to close  out its  position  by taking an  opposite
position at which time a final  determination  of variation margin is made and additional cash is required to be paid by or released to
the Fund.  Any gain or loss is then  realized  by the Fund on the future for tax  purposes.  Although  Interest  Rate  Futures by their
terms call for  settlement  by the delivery of debt  securities,  in most cases the  obligation  is fulfilled  without such delivery by
entering into an offsetting  transaction.  All futures  transactions are effected through a clearing house associated with the exchange
on which the contracts are traded.

         The Fund may concurrently buy and sell futures  contracts in a strategy  anticipating  that the future the Fund purchased will
perform  better than the future the Fund sold.  For  example,  the Fund might buy  municipal  bond futures and  concurrently  sell U.S.
Treasury Bond futures (a type of interest rate future).  The Fund would benefit if municipal bonds  outperform  U.S.  Treasury Bonds on
a duration-adjusted basis.

         Duration is a  volatility  measure  that refers to the  expected  percentage  change in the value of a bond  resulting  from a
change in general  interest rates (measured by each 1% change in the rates on U.S.  Treasury  securities).  For example,  if a bond has
an  effective  duration of three  years,  a 1% increase in general  interest  rates would be expected to cause the value of the bond to
decline  about 3%.  There are risks that this type of futures  strategy  will not be  successful.  U.S.  Treasury  bonds might  perform
better on a  duration-adjusted  basis than municipal  bonds,  and the assumptions  about duration that were used might be incorrect (in
this case, the duration of municipal bonds relative to U.S. Treasury Bonds might have been greater than anticipated).

         |_| Put and Call  Options.  The Fund may buy and sell  certain  kinds of put options  (puts) and call options  (calls).  These
strategies are described below.

         |_| Writing  Covered Call Options.  The Fund may write (that is, sell) call  options.  The Fund's call writing is subject to a
number of restrictions:

(1)      After the Fund writes a call, not more than 25% of the Fund's total assets may be subject to calls.
(2)      Calls the Fund sells must be listed on a securities  or  commodities  exchange or quoted on NASDAQ,  the  automated  quotation
              system of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or traded in the over-the-counter market.
(3)      Each call the Fund writes must be "covered"  while it is  outstanding.  That means the Fund must own the  investment  on which
              the call was written.

(4)      The Fund may write calls on futures contracts whether or not it owns them.



         When the Fund writes a call on a security,  it receives cash (a premium).The Fund agrees to sell the underlying  investment 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 retained 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.

         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 calls or upon the Fund's entering into a closing purchase 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 would  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 illiquid  securities) the mark-to-market  value of any OTC option
held by it, unless the option is subject to a buy-back  agreement by the executing  broker.  The Securities and Exchange  Commission is
evaluating whether OTC options should be considered liquid securities.  The procedure  described above could be affected by the outcome
of that evaluation.

         To terminate  its  obligation  on a call it has written,  the Fund may purchase a  corresponding  call in a "closing  purchase
transaction."  The Fund will then  realize a profit or loss,  depending  upon  whether the net of the amount of the option  transaction
costs and the premium  received on the call the Fund wrote was more or less than the price of the call the Fund  purchased to close out
the  transaction.  A profit may also be realized if the call lapses  unexercised,  because the Fund retains the  underlying  investment
and the premium  received.  Any such profits are  considered  short-term  capital  gains for federal tax  purposes,  as are premiums on
lapsed calls. When distributed by the Fund they are taxable as ordinary income.

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

         |_|  Purchasing  Calls and Puts. The Fund may buy calls only on securities,  broadly-based  municipal bond indices,  municipal
bond index futures and interest rate futures.  It may also buy calls to close out a call it has written,  as discussed above. Calls the
Fund buys must be listed on a securities or commodities  exchange,  or quoted on NASDAQ,  or traded in the  over-the-counter  market. A
call or put option may not be purchased  if the  purchase  would cause the value of all the Fund's put and call options to exceed 5% of
its total assets.

         When the Fund  purchases a call (other than in a closing  purchase  transaction),  it pays a premium.  For calls on securities
that the Fund buys, it 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 (1) the call is sold at a profit or (2) the call is
exercised when the market price of the  underlying  investment is above the sum of the exercise  price plus the  transaction  costs and
premium paid for the call. If the call is not either  exercised or sold (whether or not at a profit),  it will become  worthless at its
expiration date. In that case the Fund will lose its premium payment and the right to purchase the underlying investment.

         Calls on municipal  bond indices,  interest  rate futures and municipal  bond index futures are settled in cash rather than by
delivering the  underlying  investment.  Gain or loss depends on changes in the securities  included in the index in question (and thus
on price movements in the debt securities market generally) rather than on changes in price of the individual futures contract.

         The Fund may buy only  those  puts that  relate to  securities  that the Fund  owns,  broadly-based  municipal  bond  indices,
municipal  bond index  futures or interest rate futures  (whether or not the Fund owns the  futures).  The Fund may not sell puts other
than puts it has previously purchased.

         When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium.  The Fund then has the right to sell the  underlying  investment to a seller
of a  corresponding  put on the same  investment  during the put period at a fixed exercise  price.  Puts on municipal bond indices are
settled in cash.  Buying a put on a debt  security,  interest  rate future or  municipal  bond index future the Fund owns enables it to
protect itself during the put period  against a decline in the value of the  underlying  investment  below the exercise  price.  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 lose its premium  payment and the right to sell the
underlying investment.  A put may be sold prior to expiration (whether or not at a profit).

         |_| 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 returns.

         The Fund's  option  activities  may affect its  portfolio  turnover  rate and  brokerage  commissions.  The  exercise of calls
written by the Fund may 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  may pay a  brokerage  commission  each  time it buys a call or put,  sells a call,  or buys or  sells an  underlying
investment in connection  with the exercise of a call or put. Such  commissions  may 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.

         There is a risk in using short hedging by selling  interest rate futures and municipal  bond index futures or purchasing  puts
on municipal bond indices or futures to attempt to protect  against  declines in the value of the Fund's  securities.  The risk is that
the prices of such futures or the applicable  index will correlate  imperfectly  with the behavior of the cash (that is, market) prices
of the Fund's  securities.  It is possible for example,  that while the Fund has used hedging  instruments in a short hedge, the market
may advance and the value of debt  securities  held in the Fund's  portfolio may decline.  If that occurred,  the Fund would lose money
on the hedging  instruments  and also  experience  a decline in value of its debt  securities.  However,  while this could occur over a
brief period or to a very small degree,  over time the value of a  diversified  portfolio of debt  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 debt  securities  being hedged and
movements in the price of the hedging  instruments,  the Fund may use hedging  instruments  in a greater  dollar amount than the dollar
amount of debt securities being hedged.  It might do so if the historical  volatility of the prices of the debt securities being hedged
is greater 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
natures of those  markets.  All  participants  in the  futures  markets are subject to margin  deposit  and  maintenance  requirements.
Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements,  investors may close out futures contracts through offsetting  transactions
which could distort the normal relationship  between the cash and futures markets.  From the point of view of speculators,  the deposit
requirements  in the futures  markets are less  onerous  than margin  requirements  in the  securities  markets.  Therefore,  increased
participation by speculators in the futures markets may cause temporary price distortions.

         The Fund may use hedging  instruments to establish a position in the municipal  securities  markets as a temporary  substitute
for the purchase of individual  securities (long hedging).  It is possible that the market may decline.  If the Fund then concludes not
to invest in such securities  because of concerns that there may be further market decline or for other reasons,  the Fund will realize
a loss on the hedging instruments that is not offset by a reduction in the purchase price of the securities.

         An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides  secondary  trading for options of the same series.  There
is no assurance that a liquid  secondary  market will exist for a particular  option.  If the Fund could not effect a closing  purchase
transaction due to a lack of a market, it would have to hold the callable investment until the call lapsed or was exercised.


         |_| Interest Rate Swap  Transactions.  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 may swap a right to receive  floating  rate payments for fixed
rate  payments.  The Fund enters into swaps only on  securities  it owns.  The Fund may not enter into swaps with  respect to more than
25% of its total  assets.  Also,  the Fund will  segregate  liquid  assets (such as cash or U.S.  Government  securities)  to cover any
amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive,  and it will adjust that amount  daily,  as needed.
Income from interest rate swaps may be taxable.

         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 have been greater than those  received by it.  Credit risk
arises from the possibility  that the  counterparty  will default.  If the  counterparty to an interest rate swap 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 will enter into swap transactions with appropriate  counterparties  pursuant to master netting  agreements.  A master
netting agreement  provides that all swaps done between the Fund and that counterparty  under the master agreement shall be regarded as
parts of an integral  agreement.  If on any date amounts are payable  under one or more swap  transactions,  the net amount  payable on
that date shall be paid. In addition,  the master netting  agreement may provide that if one party  defaults  generally or on one swap,
the counterparty may terminate the swaps with that party.  Under master netting  agreements,  if there is a default resulting in a loss
to one party,  that party's  damages are  calculated by reference to the average cost of a replacement  swap with respect to 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  established by the Commodity 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.  That 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 no 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 also must use short futures and options on futures  positions solely
for bona fide hedging purposes within the meaning and intent of the applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act.

         Transactions in options by the Fund are subject to limitations  established by the option  exchanges.  The exchanges limit the
maximum  number of options  that may be written or held by a single  investor or group of  investors  acting in concert.  Those  limits
apply  regardless  of whether the options were written or  purchased  on the same or  different  exchanges,  or are held in one or more
accounts or through one or more  different  exchanges  or through one or more  brokers.  Thus,  the number of options that the Fund may
write or hold may be affected by options  written or held by other  entities,  including  other  investment  companies  having the same
adviser as the Fund (or an adviser that is an affiliate of the Fund's  adviser).  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 an interest rate future or municipal  bond index future,  it must
maintain cash or readily  marketable  short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the market value of the investments  underlying
the future,  less the margin  deposit  applicable  to it. The account must be a segregated  account or accounts  held by its  custodian
bank.

         |X| Temporary  Defensive  Investments.  The securities  the Fund may invest in for temporary  defensive  purposes  include the
following:
                  |_|  short-term municipal securities;
                  |_| obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities;
                  |_| corporate debt securities rated within the three highest grades by a nationally recognized rating agency;
                  |_| commercial paper rated "A-1" by S&P, or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency; and
                   |_|  certificates of deposit of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or more.

         Portfolio  Turnover.  A change in the securities  held by the Fund from buying and selling  investments is known as "portfolio
turnover."  Short-term  trading  increases the rate of portfolio  turnover and could increase the Fund's  transaction  costs.  However,
the Fund ordinarily incurs little or no brokerage  expense because most of the Fund's portfolio  transactions are principal trades that
do not require payment of brokerage commissions.

         The Fund  ordinarily  does not trade  securities to achieve  short-term  capital  gains,  because they would not be tax-exempt
income.  To a  limited  degree,  the Fund may  engage  in  short-term  trading  to  attempt  to take  advantage  of  short-term  market
variations.  It may also do so to dispose  of a  portfolio  security  prior to its  maturity.  That might be done if, on the basis of a
revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other  considerations,  the Fund believes such disposition advisable or it needs to generate
cash to satisfy requests to redeem Fund shares.  In those cases,  the Fund may realize a capital gain or loss on its  investments.  The
Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate normally is not expected to exceed 100%.


         |X| Taxable  Investments.  While the Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in investments that generate income subject
to income  taxes,  it does not  anticipate  investing  substantial  amounts of its assets in taxable  investments  under normal  market
conditions or as part of its normal trading  strategies and policies.  To the extent it invests in taxable  securities,  the Fund would
not be able to meet its  objective of providing  tax exempt  income to its  shareholders.  Taxable  investments  include,  for example,
hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes.


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, such a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

         |_| 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
         |_| more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

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

         o Does the Fund Have Additional  Fundamental Policies?  The following investment  restrictions are fundamental policies of the
Fund:

         |_| The Fund cannot invest in securities or other  investments  other than  municipal  securities,  the temporary  investments
described in its Prospectus,  repurchase  agreements,  covered calls,  private activity  municipal  securities and hedging  instruments
described in "About the Fund" in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information.

         |_| The Fund cannot make loans.  However,  repurchase  agreements and the purchase of debt  securities in accordance  with the
Fund's other  investment  policies and  restrictions  are  permitted.  The Fund may also lend its portfolio  securities as described in
"Loans of Portfolio Securities."

         |_| The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 10% of the value of its total assets.  It cannot buy any additional  investments
when borrowings  exceed 5% of its assets.  The Fund may borrow only from banks as a temporary  measure for  extraordinary  or emergency
purposes, and not for the purpose of leveraging its investments.

         |_| The Fund cannot pledge,  mortgage or otherwise encumber,  transfer or assign its assets to secure a debt. However, the use
of escrow or other collateral arrangements in connection with hedging instruments is permitted.

         |_| The Fund cannot  concentrate its investments to the extent of 25% of its total assets in any industry.  However,  there is
no  limitation  as to the Fund's  investments  in  municipal  securities  in  general  or in  California  municipal  securities,  or in
obligations issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies or instrumentalities.

         |_| The Fund  cannot  invest  in real  estate.  This  restriction  shall not  prevent  the Fund from  investing  in  municipal
securities or other permitted securities that are secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

         |_| The Fund  cannot  purchase  securities  other than  hedging  instruments  on  margin.  However,  the Fund may obtain  such
short-term credits that may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

         |_| The Fund cannot sell securities short.

         |_| The Fund cannot underwrite securities or invest in securities that are subject to restrictions on resale.
         |_| The Fund  cannot  invest  in or hold  securities  of any  issuer  if  officers  and  Trustees  of the Fund or the  Manager
individually  beneficially  own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of that issuer and together own more than 5% of the securities of
that issuer.

         |_| The Fund cannot invest in  securities of any other  investment  company,  except in connection  with a merger with another
investment company.

         |_| The Fund cannot buy or sell futures contracts other than interest rate futures and municipal bond index futures.

         The Fund  currently has an operating  policy (which is not a fundamental  policy but will not be changed  without the approval
of a  shareholder  vote) that  prohibits  the Fund from  issuing  senior  securities.  However,  the policy does not  prohibit  certain
activities  that are permitted by the Fund's other  policies,  including  borrowing  money for  emergency  purposes as permitted by its
other  investment  policies and applicable  regulations,  entering into  delayed-delivery  and when-issued  arrangements  for portfolio
securities  transactions,  and entering  into  contracts to buy or sell  derivatives,  hedging  instruments,  options,  futures and the
related margin, collateral or escrow arrangements permitted under its other investment policies.

         Unless the  Prospectus  or 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.  In that  case  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.

Non-Diversification  of the Fund's  Investments.  The Fund is  "non-diversified"  as defined in the Investment  Company Act. Funds that
are diversified  have  restrictions  against  investing too much of their assets in the securities of any one "issuer." That means that
the Fund can invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a fund that is diversified.

         Being  non-diversified  poses additional  investment  risks,  because if the Fund invests more of its assets in fewer issuers,
the value of its shares is subject to greater  fluctuations from adverse conditions  affecting any one of those issuers.  However,  the
Fund does limit its  investments  in the securities of any one issuer to qualify for tax purposes as a "regulated  investment  company"
under the Internal  Revenue  Code.  By  qualifying,  it does not have to pay federal  income taxes if more than 90% of its earnings are
distributed to  shareholders.  To qualify,  the Fund must meet a number of conditions.  First, not more than 25% of the market value of
the Fund's total assets may be invested in the  securities of a single issuer.  Second,  with respect to 50% of the market value of its
total assets,  (1) no more than 5% of the market value of its total assets may be invested in the  securities of a single  issuer,  and
(2) the Fund must not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer.

         The  identification  of the issuer of a municipal  security  depends on the terms and  conditions  of the  security.  When the
assets and revenues of an agency,  authority,  instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from those of the government
creating it and the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the subdivision,  agency,  authority or instrumentality,  the
latter would be deemed to be the sole issuer.  Similarly,  if an industrial  development bond is backed only by the assets and revenues
of the  non-governmental  user,  then  that user  would be  deemed to be the sole  issuer.  However,  if in  either  case the  creating
government or some other entity  guarantees a security,  the guarantee would be considered a separate  security and would be treated as
an issue of such government or other entity.

Applying the Restriction Against  Concentration.  To implement its policy not to concentrate its investments,  the Fund has adopted the
industry  classifications set forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information.  Those industry  classifications are not
a fundamental policy.
         In implementing the Fund's policy not to concentrate its  investments,  the Manager will consider a  non-governmental  user of
facilities  financed  by  industrial  development  bonds as being in a  particular  industry.  That is done even  though  the bonds are
municipal  securities,  as to  which  the  Fund  has no  concentration  limitation.  Although  this  application  of the  concentration
restriction is not a fundamental policy of the Fund, it will not be changed without shareholder approval.

How the Fund Is Managed

Organization and History.  The Fund is an open-end,  diversified  management  investment company with an unlimited number of authorized
shares of beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in July 1988.

         The Fund is governed by a Board of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for  protecting  the  interests  of  shareholders  under
Massachusetts  law. The Trustees meet periodically  throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities,  review its performance,  and
review the  actions of the  Manager.  Although  the Fund will not  normally  hold  annual  meetings  of its  shareholders,  it may hold
shareholder  meetings from time to time on important matters,  and shareholders have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or
to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.

         |_| Classes of Shares. The Board of Trustees has the power,  without  shareholder  approval,  to divide unissued shares of the
Fund into two or more classes.  The Board has done so, and the Fund  currently has three classes of shares,  Class A, Class B and Class
C.  All classes invest in the same investment portfolio.

         ohas its own dividends and distributions,
         opays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
         omay have a different net asset value,
         omay have separate  voting  rights on matters in which the interests of one class are different  from the interests of another
         class, and
         ovotes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

         |_| Meetings of  Shareholders.  As a  Massachusetts  business  trust,  the Fund is not required to hold,  and does not plan to
hold,  regular annual  meetings of  shareholders.  The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the Investment  Company Act or
other  applicable  law.  It will also do so when a  shareholder  meeting  is called  by the  Trustees  or upon  proper  request  of the
shareholders.

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

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

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

1        Aggregate  compensation  includes  fees,  deferred  compensation,   if  any,  and  retirement  plan  benefits  accrued  for  a
         Trustee/Director.
2        For the 2000 calendar year.
3        Total  Compensation  for the 2000 calendar year  includes  compensation  received for serving as trustee or director of eleven
         other Oppenheimer Funds.
4        Includes $5,513 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
5        Includes $1,117 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
*        Trustee  retirement  accruals are negative $61,656 for the year.  Aggregate  Compensation  from the Fund does not include this
         amount.
         |X|  Retirement  Plan for Trustees.  The Fund has adopted a retirement  plan that  provides for payments to retired  Trustees.
Payments  are up to 80% of the average  compensation  paid during a Trustee's  five years of service in which the highest  compensation
was  received.  A Trustee must serve as trustee for any of the New  York-based  Oppenheimer  funds for at least 15 years to be eligible
for the maximum payment.  Each Trustee's  retirement benefits will depend on the amount of the Trustee's future compensation and length
of service.

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

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

         |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of  November 5, 2001,  the only  persons who owned of record or who were known by the Fund to own
beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's outstanding Class A, Class B or Class C shares were:

The Manager.  The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer  Acquisition Corp., a holding company controlled by Massachusetts  Mutual Life
Insurance  Company.  The Manager and the Fund 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.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics is carefully monitored and strictly enforced by the Manager.

         The  portfolio  managers of the Fund are  principally  responsible  for the  day-to-day  management  of the Fund's  investment
portfolio.  Other members of the  Manager's  fixed-income  portfolio  department,  particularly  security  analysts,  traders and other
portfolio  managers have broad experience with fixed-income  securities.  They provide the Fund's portfolio  managers with research and
support in managing the Fund's investments.

         |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

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

         Expenses not expressly  assumed by the Manager  under the advisory  agreement are paid by the Fund.  The  investment  advisory
agreement  lists  examples  of expenses  paid by the Fund.  The major  categories  relate to  interest,  taxes,  fees to  disinterested
Trustees,  legal and audit expenses,  custodian and transfer agent expenses,  share issuance costs,  certain  printing and registration
costs,  brokerage  commissions,  and  non-recurring  expenses,  including  litigation cost. The management fees paid by the Fund to the
Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus,  which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole.  The fees are
allocated  to each class of shares  based  upon the  relative  proportion  of the Fund's net  assets  represented  by that  class.  The
management  fees paid by the Fund to the Manager  during its last three fiscal years are listed below.  Effective  January 1, 2000, the
Manager has  voluntarily  undertaken to limit its  management  fees to a maximum  annual rate of 0.55% of average annual net assets for
each class of shares,  which waiver  aggregated  $18,696  (0.0039%) in management fee expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001.
This voluntary waiver can be withdrawn by the Manager at any time.

         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 for its obligations and duties under the investment  advisory  agreement,  the Manager
is not liable for any loss  sustained by reason of good faith errors or omissions  the Fund  sustains for any  investment,  adoption of
any investment policy, or the purchase, sale or retention of any security.

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 buy and sell portfolio  securities for the Fund. The investment  advisory  agreement allows the Manager to use  broker-dealers to
effect the Fund's portfolio  transactions.  Under the agreement,  the Manager may employ those broker-dealers  (including  "affiliated"
brokers,  as that term is defined in the Investment  Company Act) that, in the Manager's  best judgment based on all relevant  factors,
will implement the Fund's policy to obtain, at reasonable  expense,  the "best execution" of portfolio  transactions.  "Best execution"
refers to prompt and reliable  execution at the most  favorable  price  obtainable.  The Manager need not seek  competitive  commission
bidding.  However,  the Manager is expected to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interest and policies of
the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

         Under the investment  advisory  agreement,  the Manager may select brokers 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 concessions  paid to such
brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith  determination  that the concession
is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.  Subject to those other  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 managed by the Manager or its affiliates.

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 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.

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

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

         The investment  advisory  agreement  permits the Manager to allocate  brokerage for research  services.  The research services
provided  by a  particular  broker may be useful  only to one or more of the  advisory  accounts  of the  Manager  and its  affiliates.
Investment  research  received by the Manager for the  commissions  paid by those other accounts may be useful both to the Fund and one
or more of the  Manager's  other  accounts.  Investment  research  services  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 analyses on particular
companies and industries as well as market or economic  trends and portfolio  strategy,  market  quotations for portfolio  evaluations,
information  systems,  computer  hardware  and similar  products  and  services.  If a research  service  also assists the Manager in a
non-research  capacity  (such as bookkeeping or other  administrative  functions),  then only the percentage or component that provides
assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

         The Board of Trustees has permitted the Manager to use concessions on fixed-price  offerings to obtain  research,  in the same
manner as is  permitted  for agency  transactions.  The Board has also  permitted  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 research  services  provided by brokers  broaden the scope and  supplement  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 of the Fund about the commissions paid to brokers furnishing  research  services,  together with the Manager's
representation that the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services.

         Other funds advised by the Manager have  investment  objectives and 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 of funds  advised by the  Manager  purchase  the same  security on the same day from the same  dealer,  the
Manager may average the price of the transactions and allocate the average among the funds.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor.  Under its General  Distributor's  Agreement with the Fund, the  Distributor,  whose primary address is P.O. Box 5270,
Denver,  CO 80217,  acts as the Fund's  principal  underwriter in the continuous  public  offering of the Fund's  Class A,  Class B and
Class C shares. The Distributor bears the expenses normally  attributable to sales,  including advertising and the cost of printing and
mailing  Prospectuses,  other than those  furnished  to existing  shareholders.  The  Distributor  is not  obligated to sell a specific
number of shares.  Expenses normally  attributable to sales are borne by the Distributor.  They exclude payments under the Distribution
and Service Plans but include  advertising  and the cost of printing and mailing  prospectuses  (other than those furnished to existing
shareholders).

         The sales charge and  concessions  paid to, or retained by, the  Distributor  from the sale of shares  during the Fund's three
most recent fiscal years,  and the contingent  deferred sales charges  retained by the  Distributor on the redemption of shares for the
most recent fiscal year are shown in the tables below:

"Distribution and Service Plans."


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

         Each  plan has been  approved  by a vote of the Board of  Trustees  of the  Fund,  including  a  majority  of the  Independent
Trustees,  cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on that plan.  The Manager  cast the vote to approve the Class
C plan as the sole initial holder of Class C shares.

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

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

         The Board and the  Independent  Trustees must approve all material  amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase  materially
the amount of payments  to be made under the plan must be approved by  shareholders  of the class  affected by the  amendment.  Because
Class B shares  automatically  convert into Class A shares after six years, the Fund must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class
B  shareholders  for an  amendment  to the Class A plan that would  materially  increase  the  amount to be paid under that 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 Fund's
Board of Trustees at least  quarterly  for its review.  The reports  shall detail the amount of all payments  made under a plan and the
purpose for which the  payments  were made.  Those  reports are subject to the review and approval of the  Independent  Trustees in the
exercise of their fiduciary duty.

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

         Under the plans,  no payment will be made to any  recipient in any quarter in which the  aggregate net asset value of all Fund
shares 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 Fund's  Independent  Trustees.  Initially,  the Board of Trustees  has set the fees at the  maximum  rate  allowed
under the plans and has set no minimum asset amount needed to qualify for payments.

         |_| 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  Distributor  makes  payments to plan
recipients  quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average  annual net assets of Class A shares held in accounts of the
service providers or their customers.

         For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001,  payments under the Plan for Class A shares totaled  $844,784,  all of which was paid
by the  Distributor  to  recipients.  That included  $29,165 paid to an affiliate of the  Distributor.  Any  unreimbursed  expenses the
Distributor  incurs with respect to Class A shares for any fiscal year may not 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,  other financial  costs, or
allocation of overhead.

         |_| Class B and Class C Service and  Distribution  Plans.  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 and  Class C plans  provide  for the  Distributor  to be  compensated  at a flat  rate,  whether  the
Distributor's  distribution  expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under the plans during that period.  The Class
B and Class C plans  permit the  Distributor  to retain  both the  asset-based  sales  charges  and the service fee on shares or to pay
recipients the service fee on a quarterly basis, without payment in advance.

         The  Distributor  presently  intends to pay  recipients the service fee on Class B and Class C shares in advance for the first
year the shares are  outstanding.  After the first year shares are  outstanding,  the  Distributor  makes  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 an
advance service fee payment.  If Class B or Class C 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 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 dealer on Class C shares  outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer has a special  agreement with the  Distributor,
the Distributor will pay the Class B and/or Class C service fees and the asset-based sales charge to
the dealer quarterly in lieu of paying the sales concession and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

         The  asset-based  sales charge on Class B and Class C shares allows  investors to buy shares without a front-end  sales charge
while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares.  The Distributor's  actual expenses in selling Class B and
Class C shares may be more than the payments it receives from contingent  deferred sales charges  collected on redeemed shares and from
the Fund under the plans.  The Fund pays the  asset-based  sales charge to the  Distributor  for its services  rendered in distributing
Class B and Class C shares. The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
|_|      pays sales  concessions  to  authorized  brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays  service  fees as  described  in the
              Prospectus,
|_|      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,
|_|      employs personnel to support distribution of shares, and
|_|      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.
|_|      may not be able to adequately  compensate  dealers that sell Class B and Class C shares  without  receiving  payment under the
           plans and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the plans,
|_|      receives  payment  under  the  plans  consistent  with  the  service  fees  and  asset-based   sales  charges  paid  by  other
           non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,
|_|      may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various third-party  distribution  programs that may increase sales
           of Fund shares,
|_|      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
|_|      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 and Class C 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 and Class C shares.

         The  Distributor's  actual  expenses in selling  Class B and Class C shares may be more that 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 or Class C
plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue  payments of the  asset-based  sales charge to the
Distributor  for  distributing  shares before the plan was  terminated.  The Class B and Class C plans allow for the  carry-forward  of
distribution expenses, to be recovered from asset based sales charges in subsequent fiscal periods.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation  of  Performance  Terminology.  The Fund uses a  variety  of terms to  illustrate  its  performance.  These  terms  include
"standardized  yield,"  "tax-equivalent  yield," "dividend  yield," "average annual total return,"  "cumulative total return," "average
annual total return at net asset  value" and "total  return at net asset  value." An  explanation  of how yields and total  returns are
calculated  is set forth below.  The charts below show the Fund's  performance  during its most recent  fiscal year end. You can obtain
current  performance  information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at 1.800.525.7048 or by visiting the  OppenheimerFunds  Internet
web site at http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

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

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

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

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

         |X| Yields.  The Fund uses a variety of different  yields to illustrate its current returns.  Each class of shares  calculates
its yield separately because of the different expenses that affect each class.

         |X| Standardized  Yield. The "standardized  yield" (sometimes  referred to just as "yield") is shown for a class of shares for
a stated 30-day  period.  It is not based on actual  distributions  paid by the Fund to  shareholders  in the 30-day  period,  but is a
hypothetical  yield based upon the net  investment  income from the Fund's  portfolio  investments  for that period.  It may  therefore
differ from the "dividend yield" for the same class of shares, described below.
         Standardized  yield is  calculated  using the  following  formula set forth in rules  adopted by the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission, designed to assure uniformity in the way that all funds calculate their yields:

                                STANDARDIZE YIELD = 2 (A-B +1) -1
                                                      --------
                                                       CD

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

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

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

Dividend Yield =  Distribution Paid / No. of Days in the Period x No. of Days in the Calendar Year
                                                 Maximum Offering Price (Payment date)

         The maximum  offering price for Class A shares includes the current maximum initial sales charge.  The maximum  offering price
for  Class B and Class C shares is the net asset  value  per  share,  without  considering  the  effect of  contingent  deferred  sales
charges.  The Class A dividend yield may also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

         |X|  Tax-Equivalent  Yield.  The  "tax-equivalent  yield" of a class of shares is the  equivalent  yield that would have to be
earned on a taxable investment to achieve the after-tax results represented by the Fund's  tax-equivalent  yield. It adjusts the Fund's
standardized  yield,  as calculated  above,  by a stated federal tax rate.  Using  different tax rates to show different tax equivalent
yields shows investors in different tax brackets the tax equivalent yield of the Fund based on their own tax bracket.

         The  tax-equivalent  yield is based on a 30-day  period,  and is  computed by dividing  the  tax-exempt  portion of the Fund's
current yield (as  calculated  above) by one minus a stated income tax rate.  The result is added to the portion (if any) of the Fund's
current yield that is not tax-exempt.

         The  tax-equivalent  yield may be used to compare the tax  effects of income  derived  from the Fund with income from  taxable
investments  at the tax rates stated.  Your tax bracket is determined by your federal and state taxable  income (the net amount subject
to federal and state income tax after deductions and  exemptions).  The  tax-equivalent  yield table assumes that the investor is taxed
at the highest bracket, regardless of whether a switch to non-taxable investments would cause a lower bracket to apply.

         |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.

                                  Standard                                    Dividend

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

         In calculating  total returns for Class A shares,  the current  maximum sales charge of 4.75% (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.

         |_| 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") to achieve an Ending  Redeemable  Value ("ERV" in the
formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:
                                        ERV -1  = AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN
                                      ---------
                                         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:


                                       ERV - P = TOTAL RETURN
                                     ----------
                                         P


         |_| 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 or Class C  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  Class A,  Class B or
Class C shares by Lipper Inc.  ("Lipper").  Lipper is a widely recognized  independent mutual fund monitoring service.  Lipper monitors
the performance of regulated  investment  companies,  including the Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods in categories
based on investment  styles.  The  performance  of the Fund is ranked by Lipper  against all other bond funds,  other than money market
funds, and all general municipal bond 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  Ratings  and  Rankings.  From  time to time the Fund may  publish  the  ranking  and/or  star  rating of the
performance of its classes of shares by  Morningstar,  Inc., an  independent  mutual fund  monitoring  service.  Morningstar  rates and
ranks mutual funds in broad investment  categories:  domestic stock funds,  international stock funds, taxable bond funds and municipal
bond funds. The Fund is included in the municipal bond category.

         Morningstar  proprietary star ratings reflect historical  risk-adjusted total investment return.  Investment return measures a
fund's (or class's) one-,  three-,  five- and ten-year  average annual total returns  (depending on the inception of the fund or class)
in excess of 90-day U.S.  Treasury bill returns  after  considering  the fund's sales charges and expenses.  Risk measured a fund's (or
class's)  performance  below  90-day U.S.  Treasury  bill  returns.  Risk and  investment  return are  combined to produce star ratings
reflecting  performance  relative to the other funds in a fund's category.  Five stars is the "highest"  ranking (top 10% of funds in a
category),  four stars is "above average" (next 22.5%),  three stars is "average" (next 35%), two stars is "below average" (next 22.5%)
and one star is "lowest"  (bottom 10%). The current star rating is the fund's (or class's)  overall rating,  which is the fund's 3-year
rating, or its combined 3- and 5-year ranking (weighted  60%/40%  respectively),  or its combined 3-, 5-, and 10-year ranking (weighted
40%, 30% and 30%, respectively), depending on the inception date of the fund (or class). Rankings are subject to change monthly.

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

         |_|  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 Class A, Class B or Class C 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 Fund's Class A, Class B or Class C returns 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.

How to Buy Shares

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

AccountLink.  When shares are  purchased  through  AccountLink,  each  purchase  must be at least $25.  Shares will be purchased on the
regular  business day the  Distributor  is  instructed  to initiate the Automated  Clearing  House ("ACH")  transfer to buy the shares.
Dividends  will begin to accrue on shares  purchased  with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund receives  Federal
Funds for the purchase  through the ACH system before the close of The New York Stock  Exchange.  The Exchange  normally closes at 4:00
P.M.,  but may close earlier on certain  days.  If Federal  Funds are received on a business day after the close of the  Exchange,  the
shares will be purchased  and  dividends  will begin to accrue on the next regular  business  day.  The proceeds of ACH  transfers  are
normally  received by the Fund 3 days after the transfers are  initiated.  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:
              |_| Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual  accounts (including IRA's and 403(b) plans), or for your
                  joint accounts, or for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who are minors, and
              |_| 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
              |_| 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.

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

                                                              Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
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 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.

         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 public  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 bounded 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  commissions  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 commissions  allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of commissions  that
apply to the actual amount of purchases.  The excess commissions 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.

         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.

         |_| 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 public
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  thirteen-month  Letter of Intent period,
the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor.

         3.    If, at the end of the  thirteen-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.  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 transmission.

         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.

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 value 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 or Class C shares and
the  dividends  payable  on Class B or Class C shares  will be  reduced by  incremental  expenses  borne  solely by that  class.  Those
expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B and Class C are subject.

         The  availability  of three  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 in general are sold subject to an initial sales  charge.  While Class B and Class C
shares have no initial  sales  charge,  the purpose of the deferred  sales charge and  asset-based  sales charge on Class B and Class C
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  for selling Fund shares
may receive different levels of compensation for selling to 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 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 holder,  and absent such exchange,  Class B shares might continue
to be subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

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

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

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

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 on each day that the  Exchange is open.  It is done by dividing  the value of the
Fund's  net assets  attributable  to that class by the number of shares of that  class  that are  outstanding.  The  Exchange  normally
closes at 4:00 P.M.,  New York 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).  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  municipal  securities  on days on which the Exchange is closed
(including  weekends and U.S.  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.

         |X|  Securities  Valuation.  The  Fund's  Board of  Trustees  has  established  procedures  for the  valuation  of the  Fund's
securities. In general those procedures are as follows:

         |_|  Long-term  debt  securities  having a remaining  maturity in excess of 60 days are valued  based on the mean  between the
"bid" and  "asked"  prices  determined  by a portfolio  pricing  service  approved  by the Fund's  Board of Trustees or obtained by the
Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.

         |_| The following  securities  are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"  prices  determined  by a pricing  service
approved by the Fund's  Board of Trustees or obtained  by the Manager  from two active  market  makers in the  security on the basis of
reasonable inquiry:
(1)      debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
(2)      debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)      non-money market debt  instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and which have a remaining  maturity of
                  60 days or less.
         |_| The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:
(1)      money market debt securities  held by a non-money  market fund that had a maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have
                  a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)      debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.
         |_|  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 municipal  securities,  when last sale  information  is not  generally  available,  the Manager may use pricing
services approved by the Board of Trustees.  The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to the prices for comparable  instruments
on the basis of quality,  yield,  maturity.  Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt  status of the interest paid
by municipal  securities).  The Manager  will  monitor the accuracy of the pricing  services.  That  monitoring  may include  comparing
prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of selected securities.

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

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

How to Sell Shares

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

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

         In  choosing  to take  advantage  of the  Checkwriting  privilege  by signing  the  Account  Application  or by  completing  a
Checkwriting card, each individual who signs:
(1)      for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that account;
(2)      for  accounts  for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts and other  entities,  represents  that they are an  officer,  general
              partner,  trustee or other  fiduciary  or agent,  as  applicable,  duly  authorized  to act on behalf of such  registered
              owner(s);
(3)      authorizes the Fund,  its Transfer  Agent and any bank through which the Fund's drafts  (checks) are payable to pay all checks
              drawn on the Fund  account of such  person(s)  and to redeem a  sufficient  amount of shares  from that  account to cover
              payment of each check;
(4)      specifically  acknowledges  that if they choose to permit checks to be honored if there is a single  signature on checks drawn
              against joint accounts, or accounts for corporations,  partnerships,  trusts or other entities,  the signature of any one
              signatory on a check will be sufficient to authorize payment of that check and redemption from the account,  even if that
              account  is  registered  in the  names of more  than one  person or more than one  authorized  signature  appears  on the
              Checkwriting card or the Application, as applicable;
(5)      understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or amended at any time by the Fund and/or the Fund's bank; and
(6)      acknowledges  and agrees that neither the Fund nor its bank shall incur any liability  for that  amendment or  termination  of
              checkwriting  privileges  or for  redeeming  shares to pay  checks  reasonably  believed  by them to be  genuine,  or for
              returning or not paying checks that have not been accepted for any reason.

Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of :

         |_| Class A shares that you  purchased  subject to an initial  sales charge or Class A shares on which a  contingent  deferred
sales charge was paid, or
         |_| 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 shares. The Fund may amend,  suspend or cease offering
this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of such amendment, suspension or cessation.

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

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

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

Involuntary  Redemptions.  The Fund's Board of Trustees  has the right to cause the  involuntary  redemption  of the shares held in any
account if the  aggregate  net asset value of those  shares is less than $200 or such lesser  amount as the Board may fix. The Board of
Trustees 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 or Class C contingent  deferred  sales charge will be followed in  determining  the order in
which shares are transferred.

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
and Class C  shareholders  should not establish  automatic  withdrawal  plans,  because of the potential  imposition of the  contingent
deferred sales charge on such  withdrawals  (except where the 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.  Instructions
should be provided on the  OppenheimerFunds  Application  or  signature-guaranteed  instructions.  Exchanges made under these plans are
subject to the  restrictions  that apply to  exchanges  as set forth in "How to Exchange  Shares" in the  Prospectus  and below in this
Statement of Additional Information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Exchange Shares

         As stated in the  Prospectus,  shares of a particular  class of Oppenheimer  funds having more than one class of shares may be
exchanged only for shares of the same class of other  Oppenheimer  funds.  Shares of Oppenheimer funds that have a single class without
a class  designation  are deemed  "Class A" shares for this  purpose.  You can obtain a current  list  showing  which funds offer which
classes by calling the Distributor at 1.800.525.7048.

o        All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B and C shares except Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Centennial
     Money Market Trust, Centennial Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial Government Trust, Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial
     California Tax Exempt Trust, and Centennial America Fund, L.P., which only offer Class A shares.
o        Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund currently offers only Class A and Class B shares.
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        Only certain Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be
     exchanged for shares of any other fund.
o        Only certain Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class N shares, which are only offered to retirement plans as described in
     the Prospectus. Class N shares can be exchanged only for Class N shares of other Oppenheimer funds.
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 A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are not available by exchange of shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
     Fund or Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves. 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        Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund can 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, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Select Managers Mercury Advisors S&P Index Fund and Oppenheimer
     Select Managers QM Active Balanced Fund are only available to retirement plans and are available only by exchange from the same
     class of shares of other Oppenheimer funds held by retirement plans.

         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.

         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.

         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 the 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.

         |_| 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.  However,  when Class A shares  acquired by exchange of
Class A shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds  purchased  subject to a Class A contingent  deferred  sales charge are redeemed  within 18
months of the end 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.  The Class B contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares acquired by
exchange  if they are  redeemed  within 6 years of the  initial  purchase  of the  exchanged  Class B 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.

         When Class B or Class C 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 or the Class C 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 whether they intend to exchange Class A, Class B or Class C shares.

         |_| 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.

         |_| 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.  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.  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.

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

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

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

         Dividends,  distributions  and the 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.

         The  amount of a  distribution  paid on a class of  shares  may 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  shares of each  class.  However,  dividends  on Class B and Class C shares are
expected to be lower than dividends on Class A shares.  That is due to the effect of the asset-based  sales charge on Class B and Class
C shares.  Those  dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any difference in net asset value among Class A, Class B and
Class C shares.

Tax Status of the Fund's  Dividends and  Distributions.  The Fund intends to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code during each fiscal
year to pay  "exempt-interest  dividends" to its  shareholders.  Exempt-interest  dividends that are derived from net investment income
earned by the Fund on municipal securities will be excludable from gross income of shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

         Net  investment  income  includes the  allocation of amounts of income from the municipal  securities in the Fund's  portfolio
that are free from federal income taxes.  This allocation  will be made by the use of one designated  percentage  applied  uniformly to
all income  dividends  paid during the Fund's tax year.  That  designation  will normally be made following the end of each fiscal year
as to income  dividends  paid in the prior year. The percentage of income  designated as tax-exempt may  substantially  differ from the
percentage of the fund's income that was tax-exempt for a given period.

         A portion of the exempt-interest  dividends paid by the Fund may be an item of tax preference for shareholders  subject to the
alternative  minimum tax. The amount of any dividends  attributable  to tax preference  items for purposes of the  alternative  minimum
tax will be identified when tax information is distributed by the Fund.

         A  shareholder  receiving  a dividend  from income  earned by the Fund from one or more of the  following  sources  treats the
dividend as a receipt of either  ordinary income or long-term  capital gain in the  computation of gross income,  regardless of whether
the dividend is reinvested:
(1)      certain  taxable  temporary  investments  (such as  certificates  of  deposit,  repurchase  agreements,  commercial  paper and
              obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities);
(2)      income from securities loans;
(3)      income or gains from options or futures; or
(4)      an excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss from the Fund.

         The Fund's  dividends  will not be eligible for the  dividends-received  deduction for  corporations.  Shareholders  receiving
Social Security benefits should be aware that  exempt-interest  dividends are a factor in determining whether such benefits are subject
to federal income tax.  Losses  realized by  shareholders  on the redemption of Fund shares within six months of purchase (which period
may be  shortened  by  regulation)  will be  disallowed  for federal  income tax  purposes to the extent of  exempt-interest  dividends
received on such shares.

         If the Fund qualifies as a "regulated  investment  company" under the Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for federal
income taxes on amounts paid by it as dividends and  distributions.  That  qualification  enables the Fund to "pass through" its income
and realized capital gains to shareholders  without having to pay tax on them. The Fund qualified as a regulated  investment company in
its last fiscal  year and  intends to qualify in future  years,  but  reserves  the right not to qualify.  The  Internal  Revenue  Code
contains a number of complex  tests to  determine  whether  the Fund  qualifies.  The Fund might not meet those  tests in a  particular
year. If it does not qualify,  the Fund will be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary  corporation  and will receive no tax deduction
for payments of dividends and distributions made to shareholders.

         In any year in which the Fund  qualifies as a regulated  investment  company under the Internal  Revenue  Code,  the Fund will
also be exempt from California  corporate  income and franchise  taxes.  It will also be qualified  under  California law to pay exempt
interest  dividends  that will be exempt from  California  personal  income tax. That  exemption  applies to the extent that the Fund's
distributions  are  attributable  to interest on  California  municipal  securities  and  qualifying  obligations  of the United States
government,  if at least 50% of the Fund's  assets  are  invested  in such  obligations  at the close of each  quarter in its tax year.
Distributions  from the Fund  attributable  to income from sources  other than  California  municipal  securities  and U.S.  government
obligations will generally be subject to California income tax as ordinary income.

         Distributions  by the Fund from  investment  income and long- and  short-term  capital gains will  generally not be excludable
from  taxable  income  in  determining  California  corporate  franchise  tax or income  tax for  corporate  shareholders  of the Fund.
Additionally,  certain  distributions paid to corporate  shareholders of the Fund may be includable in income subject to the California
alternative minimum tax.

         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.  However,  the Fund's Board of Trustees and the Manager might
determine in a particular year that it would be in the best interest of shareholders  not to make  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.

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 at net asset
value without sales charge.  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  must  first  obtain a  prospectus  for that fund and an
application  from the Transfer Agent to establish an account.  The  investment  will be made at the net asset value per share in effect
at the close of business on the payable  date of the  dividend or  distribution.  Dividends  and/or  distributions  from certain of the
other Oppenheimer funds may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

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  bank  of  the  Fund's  assets.  The  custodian  bank's  responsibilities  include
safeguarding  and controlling the Fund's  portfolio  securities,  and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. It
will be the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian bank 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 may at times be substantial.

Independent  Auditors.  KPMG 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 certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
================================================================================
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund, including the statement of investments,
as of July 31, 2001, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of July 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers
were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund as of July 31, 2001, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
================================================================================
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek as
high a level of current interest income exempt from federal and California
income taxes for individual investors as is consistent with preservation of
capital. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
     The Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are
sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales
charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). All
classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting
privileges, except that each class has its own expenses directly attributable to
that class and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting that
class. Classes A, B and C have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class
B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date
of purchase. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Valuation Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or
other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of
the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's assets
are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale
price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid
and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including
restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued
primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost (which approximates market value).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Forward Commitment Basis Delivery and
payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued
basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the
settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund
may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends beyond
six months or more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not
earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in
value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a
market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments.
The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may
increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund
makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of July
31, 2001, the Fund had entered into net outstanding when-issued or forward
commitments of $2,918,670.
                    28 OPPENHEIMER CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUND

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inverse Floating Rate Securities The Fund invests in inverse floating rate
securities that pay interest at a rate that varies inversely with short-term
interest rates. Certain of these securities may be leveraged, whereby the
interest rate varies inversely at a multiple of the change in short-term rates.
As interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income. The price
of such securities is more volatile than comparable fixed rate securities. The
Fund intends to invest no more than 20% of its total assets in inverse floaters.
Inverse floaters amount to $54,595,085 as of July 31, 2001. Including the effect
of leverage, inverse floaters represent 9.96% of the Fund's total assets as of
July 31, 2001.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no
federal income or excise tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2001, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes
unused capital loss carryovers as follows:

1. The capital loss carryover was acquired in connection with the Oppenheimer
Main Street(R) California Municipal Fund merger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trustees' Compensation The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the
Fund's independent Board of Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and
fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended
July 31, 2001, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were decreased by
$61,656 and payments of $7,802 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $92,529 as of July 31, 2001.

================================================================================
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
     The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for
independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a
portion of annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under
the plan, the compensation deferred is periodically adjusted as though an
equivalent amount had been invested for the Board of Trustees in shares of one
or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the trustee. The amount paid to the Board
of Trustees under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the
selected funds. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the
net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets,
liabilities or net investment income per share.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 realized gain
was recorded by the Fund.
     The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to
reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions
determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the
year ended July 31, 2001, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease
in overdistributed net investment income of $53,534. Paid-in capital was
decreased by the same amount. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the
reclassifications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Income Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and
amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.
     There are certain risks arising from geographic concentration in any state.
Certain revenue or tax related events in a state may impair the ability of
certain issuers of municipal securities to pay principal and interest on their
obligations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security Transactions Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date.
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.

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 0.60% of
the first $200 million of average annual net assets, 0.55% of the next $100
million, 0.50% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40%
of the next $250 million and 0.35% of average annual net assets over $1 billion.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit its
management fees to a maximum annual rate of 0.55% of average annual net assets
for each class of shares. The Manager can withdraw that waiver at any time. The
Fund's management fee for the year ended July 31, 2001, was an annualized rate
of 0.55%.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 an agreed upon per account fee.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution and Service Plan Fees Under its General Distributor's Agreement
with the Manager, the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in
the continuous public offering of the different classes of shares of the 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

The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and
Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment
Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pays the Distributor for all or a
portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or
servicing of the shares of the particular class.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Service Plan Fees Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor
currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and
other financial institutions. 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 purchased. 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 of the Fund. For the year ended July 31, 2001, payments under
the Class A plan totaled $844,784, all of which were paid by the
                    32 OPPENHEIMER CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUND

Distributor to recipients, and included $29,165 paid to an affiliate of the
Manager. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class
A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B and Class C Distribution and Service Plan Fees Under each plan, service
fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of
shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular
business day during the period. The Class B and Class C plans provide for the
Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under
the plan during the period for which the fee is paid.
     The 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. The asset-based sales charges on Class B
and Class C shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales
charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those
shares.
     The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B and Class C shares may
be more than the payments it receives from the contingent deferred sales charges
collected on redeemed shares and asset-based sales charges from the Fund under
the plans. If any plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may
allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the
Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was terminated. The plans
allow for the carryforward of distribution expenses, to be recovered from
asset-based sales charges in subsequent fiscal periods.
Distribution fees paid to the Distributor for the year ended July 31, 2001, were
as follows:

================================================================================
5. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future
date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity
exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly
based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities "interest rate
futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in
market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or
write put or call options on these futures contracts.
     The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in
interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund
may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it may
be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income
securities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
================================================================================
5. Futures Contracts Continued
     Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit
either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain
percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal
to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains
and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is
closed or expires.
     Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin
requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of
Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable
and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized gains
and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations as closing and expiration
of futures contracts.
     Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.
As of July 31, 2001, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:


                                                                                   Unrealized

================================================================================
6. Illiquid Securities
As of July 31, 2001, 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 15% 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 July 31,
2001, was $12,636,320, which represents 2.33% 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 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 July 31,
2001.

8. Acquisition of Oppenheimer Main Street(R)California Municipal Fund
On December 8, 2000, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Oppenheimer Main
Street California Municipal Fund, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization approved by the Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund
shareholders on February 29, 2000. The Fund issued (at an exchange ratio of
1.190268 for Class A and 1.187776 for Class B of the Fund to one share of
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund) 9,572,831 and 2,673,404, shares of
beneficial interest for Class A and Class B, respectively, valued at $99,078,796
and $27,696,468 in exchange for the net assets, resulting in combined Class A
net assets of $378,820,970, Class B net assets of $134,878,021 and Class C net
assets of $14,079,666 on December 8, 2000. The net assets acquired included net
unrealized appreciation of $6,378,401 and unused capital loss carryover of
$6,785,477 potential utilization subject to tax limitation. The exchange
qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

                                                  MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below  are  summaries  of the  rating  definitions  used by the  nationally-recognized  rating  agencies  listed  below  for  municipal
securities.  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 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 risk appear somewhat larger than the of risk "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 some time 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 thereby 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 the desirable  investment.  Assurance of interest and principal  payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa: Bonds rated "Caa" are of poor standing.  Such issues may be in default or there may be present  elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.

Ca: Bonds rated "Ca"  represent  obligations  which are  speculative  in a high degree.  Such issues 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.

Con.  (...):  Bonds  for which the  security  depends  on the  completion  of some act or the  fulfillment  of some  condition  are rated
conditionally.  These bonds are secured by (a)  earnings  of  projects  under  construction,  (b)  earnings of projects  unseasoned  in
operating  experience,  (c) rentals that begin when  facilities are completed,  or (d) payments to which some other limiting  condition
attaches.  The parenthetical  rating denotes probable credit stature upon completion of construction or elimination of the basis of the
condition.

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

Short-Term Ratings - U.S. Tax-Exempt Municipals

There are three ratings for short-term obligations that are investment grade.  Short-term speculative  obligations are designated "SG."
For variable rate demand obligations,  a two-component rating is assigned.  The first (MIG) element represents an evaluation by Moody's
of the degree of risk associated with scheduled  principal and interest  payments.  The second element (VMIG)  represents an evaluation
of the degree of risk associated with the demand feature.

MIG 1/VMIG 1: Denotes superior credit quality.  Excellent  protection is afforded by established cash flows,  highly reliable liquidity
support or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2: Denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3/VMIG 3: Denotes  acceptable credit quality.  Liquidity and cash-flow  protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing
is likely to be less well established.

SG:  Denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack margins of protection.
& 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 by a 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 the adverse  effects of changes in  circumstances  and economic  conditions  than
obligations in higher-rated  categories.  However,  the obligor's capacity to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation is still
strong.

BBB: 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.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C

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  ongoing
uncertainties  or  exposure to adverse  business,  financial,  or economic  conditions  which  could lead to the  obligor's  inadequate
capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

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

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

CC:  Bonds rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: The "C" rating may be used to cover a situation  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 even if the applicable  grace period
has not expired,  unless  Standard and Poor's  believes that such  payments will be made during such grace period.  The "D" rating will
also be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the  addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show  relative  standing  within the
major  rating  categories.  The "p" symbol  indicates  that the rating is  provisional.  The "r" symbol is  attached  to the ratings of
instruments with significant noncredit risks.

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

SP-1:  Strong  capacity  to pay  principal  and  interest.  An issue with a very  strong  capacity  to pay debt  service is given a (+)
designation.
SP-2:  Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest,  with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the
term of the notes.

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

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 rated in this category are not investment grade.

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

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


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

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

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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
International Short-Term Credit Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

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

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

                                    OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
                                    --------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares2 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent
deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.3  That is because of the economies of sales
efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other
financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For 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 plans4
              4)  Group Retirement Plans5
              5)  403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
              6)  Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request.
I.                                Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

Class A shares purchased by the following investors are not subject to any Class A sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the
Distributor on such purchases):
|_|      The Manager or its affiliates.
|_|      Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their "immediate families") of the Fund, the Manager and
              its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees. The term "immediate family" refers to
              one's spouse, children, grandchildren, grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, brothers and sisters, sons- and
              daughters-in-law, a sibling's spouse, a spouse's siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews; relatives by virtue of a
              remarriage (step-children, step-parents, etc.) are included.
|_|      Registered management investment companies, or separate accounts of insurance companies having an agreement with the Manager
              or the Distributor for that purpose.
|_|      Dealers or brokers that have a sales agreement with the Distributor, if they purchase shares for their own accounts or for
              retirement plans for their employees.
|_|      Employees and registered representatives (and their spouses) of dealers or brokers described above or financial institutions
              that have entered into sales arrangements with such dealers or brokers (and which are identified as such to the
              Distributor) or with the Distributor. The purchaser must certify to the Distributor at the time of purchase that the
              purchase is for the purchaser's own account (or for the benefit of such employee's spouse or minor children).
|_|      Dealers, brokers, banks or registered investment advisors that have entered into an agreement with the Distributor providing
              specifically for the use of shares of the Fund in particular investment products made available to their clients. Those
              clients may be charged a transaction fee by their dealer, broker, bank or advisor for the purchase or sale of Fund
              shares.
|_|      Investment advisors and financial planners who have entered into an agreement for this purpose with the Distributor and who
              charge an advisory, consulting or other fee for their services and buy shares for their own accounts or the accounts of
              their clients.
|_|      "Rabbi trusts" that buy shares for their own accounts, if the purchases are made through a broker or agent or other
              financial intermediary that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|      Clients of investment advisors or financial planners (that have entered into an agreement for this purpose with the
              Distributor) who buy shares for their own accounts may also purchase shares without sales charge but only if their
              accounts are linked to a master account of their investment advisor or financial planner on the books and records of the
              broker, agent or financial intermediary with which the Distributor has made such special arrangements . Each of these
              investors may be charged a fee by the broker, agent or financial intermediary for purchasing shares.
|_|      Directors, trustees, officers or full-time employees of OpCap Advisors or its affiliates, their relatives or any trust,
              pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for those persons.
|_|      Accounts for which Oppenheimer Capital (or its successor) is the investment advisor (the Distributor must be advised of this
              arrangement) and persons who are directors or trustees of the company or trust which is the beneficial owner of such
              accounts.
|_|      A unit investment trust that has entered into an appropriate agreement with the Distributor.
|_|      Dealers, brokers, banks, or registered investment advisers that have entered into an agreement with the Distributor to sell
              shares to defined contribution employee retirement plans for which the dealer, broker or investment adviser provides
              administration services.
|-|
         Retirement Plans and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those plans (including, for example, plans
              qualified or created under sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code), in each case if those
              purchases are made through a broker, agent or other financial intermediary that has made special arrangements with the
              Distributor for those purchases.
|_|      A TRAC-2000 401(k) plan (sponsored by the former Quest for Value Advisors) whose Class B or Class C shares of a Former Quest
              for Value Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due to the termination of the Class B and Class C
              TRAC-2000 program on November 24, 1995.
|_|      A qualified Retirement Plan that had agreed with the former Quest for Value Advisors to purchase shares of any of the Former
              Quest for Value Funds at net asset value, with such shares to be held through DCXchange, a sub-transfer agency mutual
              fund clearinghouse, if that arrangement was consummated and share purchases commenced by December 31, 1996.

B.   Waivers of Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Transactions.

Class A shares issued or purchased in the following transactions are not subject to sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the
Distributor on such purchases):

2 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund.
3 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred
sales charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.
4 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under
which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other administrator for the account of
participants who are employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical savings
accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or
administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.

5 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole
proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of persons (the members of which may
include other groups), if the group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group participating in
(or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer,
broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and
403(b) plans other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement Plan" also includes qualified retirement plans
and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single
investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.
6 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of
accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more
Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.

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