ABOUT THE FUND

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., can select
for the Fund.  Additional  information  is also provided  about the  strategies  the Fund may use to try to achieve
its objective.

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

         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 values of the securities held
by the Fund may be  affected  by changes in  general  interest  rates and other  factors  prior to their  maturity.
Because the current  value of debt  securities  vary  inversely  with  changes in  prevailing  interest  rates,  if
interest  rates  increased  after  a  security  is  purchased,  that  security  will  normally  decline  in  value.
Conversely, should interest rates decrease after a security is purchased, normally its value will 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 the  security's  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  purposes,  or because of other factors
affecting the issuer that cause the Manager to sell the particular  security.  In that case, the Fund could realize
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  municipal  securities  having a maturity (when the security is
issued) of more than one (1) year 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 five (5) to ten (10) years from the issuance date.  When interest rates decline,  if the
call  provision 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 have a lower rate of return.

                  |X|  General  Obligation  Bonds.  The  basic  security  behind  general  obligation  bonds is the
issuer's  pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing  power,  if any, 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.

                  |X| 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.

                  |X| 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.

                  |X| 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.  There are no limits on the amount of assets the Fund may
invest in private activity securities.

         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 (1)  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.

         |X| 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.

         |X|  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.

         |X| 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.

         |X|  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.

         |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.

         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.  The  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania is not required by
law to appropriate or otherwise provide moneys from which the lease payments are to be made.

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


         |X|  Ratings  of  Municipal  Securities.  Ratings  by  ratings  organizations  such as  Moody's  Investors
Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's"),  Standard & Poor's Rating Services  ("S&P") and Fitch,  Inc.  ("Fitch")  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,  S&P,  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.

         The rating definitions of Moody's,  S&P and Fitch for municipal  securities are contained in Appendix A to
this  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  The Fund can  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 assign 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  Pennsylvania  Municipal  Securities.  Because  the Fund  focuses  its
investments primarily on Pennsylvania  municipal securities,  the value of its portfolio investments will be highly
sensitive to events  affecting the fiscal  stability of the  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania  and its  municipalities,
authorities  and other  instrumentalities  that issue  securities  in which the Fund invests,  including  political
developments,  economic  problems and legislation.  Many different  social,  environmental and economic factors may
affect the financial  condition of  Pennsylvania  and its political  subdivisions.  From time to time  Pennsylvania
and certain of its political  subdivisions have encountered  financial  difficulties  that have adversely  affected
their respective  credit standings.  Other factors that may negatively  effect economic  conditions in Pennsylvania
include  adverse  changes  in  employment  rates,  federal  revenue  sharing  or laws with  respect  to  tax-exempt
financing.  In addition,  economic  conditions in Pennsylvania  may be affected by developments in the national and
state  economy as a result of the  September  11, 2001  terrorist  attacks and the  political,  military  and other
responses to and consequences of those acts.

         It is not  possible to predict the future  impact of the  political  developments,  economic  problems and
legislation on the long-term  ability of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or Pennsylvania  municipal issuers to pay
interest or repay  principal on their  obligations.  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,  including official
statements  relating to securities  offerings of Pennsylvania  issuers.  The information below is general in nature
and does not provide  information  about financial  condition of the state or specific  issuers in whose securities
the Fund may invest, or the risks of those specific investments.

         |X| The Effect of General  Economic  Conditions in the State.  The  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is one of
the most populous states,  ranking sixth behind  California,  Texas, New York,  Florida and Illinois.  Pennsylvania
is an  established  state  with a  diversified  economy.  It is  the  headquarters  for  many  major  corporations.
Pennsylvania  had  historically  been  identified as a heavy industry  state.  That reputation has changed over the
last  thirty  (30) years as the coal,  steel and  railroad  industries  declined  and the  Commonwealth's  business
environment  readjusted with a more  diversified  economic base. This economic  readjustment was a direct result of
a long-term  shift in jobs,  investment  and workers away from the  northeast  part of the nation.  Currently,  the
major  sources of growth in  Pennsylvania  are in the  service  sector,  including  trade,  medical  and the health
services,  education and financial  institutions.  Pennsylvania's 5.6 million-person  work force ranks as the sixth
largest labor pool in the nation.

         The Commonwealth uses the fund method of accounting.  The General Fund, the  Commonwealth's  largest fund,
receives all tax revenues,  non-tax revenues and federal grants and  entitlements  that are not specified by law to
be deposited  elsewhere.  The majority of the  Commonwealth's  operating  and  administrative  expenses are payable
from the  General  Fund.  Debt  service and all bonded  indebtedness  of the  Commonwealth,  except that issued for
highway purposes or for the benefit of other special revenue funds, is payable from the General Fund.

         The five (5) year  period  ending with  fiscal  2000 was a time of  economic  growth with modest  rates of
growth at the beginning of the period and larger  increases  during the most recent years.  Throughout  the period,
inflation remained  relatively low, helping to restrain  expenditure  growth.  Favorable economic conditions helped
total  revenues and other  sources rise at an average  annual rate of 5.5% (5.9% on a "GAAP" basis) during the five
(5) year period.  Tax  revenues  increased at an average  annual rate of 5.0% (5.1% on a "GAAP"  basis)  during the
period.  Expenditures  and other uses during the fiscal 1996  through  fiscal 2000 period rose at a 4.5% (4.6% on a
"GAAP" basis) average annual rate.

         The  1999  fiscal  year  ended  with  an  unappropriated  surplus  (prior  to  the  transfer  to  the  Tax
Stabilization  Reserve Fund) of $702.9 million, an increase of $214.2 million from June 30, 1998.  Transfers to the
Tax  Stabilization  Reserve  Fund  total  $255.4  million  for  fiscal  year  1999  consisting  of  $105.4  million
representing  the then statutory 15% of the fiscal year-end  unappropriated  surplus and an additional $150 million
from  the  unappropriated  surplus  authorized  by  the  General  Assembly.  The  $447.5  million  balance  of  the
unappropriated  surplus was carried over to fiscal year 2000.  The higher  unappropriated  surplus was generated by
tax revenues that were $712.0  million  (3.9%) above  estimate and $61.0 million of non-tax  revenue  (18.4%) above
estimate.  A portion of the higher  revenues  and  appropriation  lapses  were used for  supplemental  fiscal  1999
appropriations totaling $357.8 million.

         For GAAP purposes,  assets  increased  $1,024 million in fiscal 1999 and liabilities  rose $119.5 million.
The  increase in assets over  liabilities  for fiscal 1999 caused the fund  balance as of June 30, 1999 to increase
by $904.5  million  over the fund  balance  as of June 30,  1998.  The total fund  balance as of June 30,  1999 was
$2,863.4.

         At the end of the 2000 fiscal year the  unappropriated  surplus  balance (prior to the transfer to the Tax
Stabilization  Reserve Fund) totaled  $718.3  million,  a $280.6 million  increase from fiscal 1999  year-end.  The
gain was due to  higher  than  anticipated  revenues  and  appropriation  lapses  that  were  partially  offset  by
additional  supplemental  appropriations  and reserves for tax refunds.  $107.7  million was  transferred  from the
surplus  to the Tax  Stabilization  Reserve  Fund,  representing  the  then  statutory  15%  annual  transfer.  The
remaining  $610.5  million  fiscal  year-end  unappropriated  surplus  balance was carried  over to the 2001 fiscal
year.  Commonwealth  revenues  for the 2000 fiscal year  totaled  $20,256.7  million,  an increase of 5.4%  ($1,030
million)  over the prior  fiscal  year.  Expenditures  for the fiscal year  (excluding  intergovernmental  transfer
transaction  expenditures  and net of  appropriation  lapses)  were  $19,171  million  representing  a 5.7% ($1,026
million), increase over the prior fiscal year.

         For GAAP purposes,  assets  increased  $1,731.4  million in fiscal 2000,  chiefly due to higher  temporary
investment.  Liabilities  also rose  during  the  period by $331.1  million.  Together,  these  changes  produced a
$1,400.3  million  increase to the fund  balance at June 30,  2000.  The fund balance at the end of fiscal 2000 was
$4,263.6  million,  the largest fund balance  achieved  since audited GAAP reporting was instituted in 1984 for the
Commonwealth.  The $1,105  million June 30, 2000 balance in the Tax  Stabilization  Reserve Fund is included in the
GAAP basis fund balance for the General Fund.  Revenues from taxed and other sources  during fiscal 2000  increased
5.9 percent over the fiscal 1999 level.  Expenditures and other uses rose during the fiscal year by 6.8 percent.

         For the 2001 fiscal  year,  revenues  were above  estimate  and  expenditures  were lower than  projected,
enabling  the  General  Fund to end the fiscal  year with an  unappropriated  surplus  balance  of $335.5  million.
Expenditures  from  Commonwealth  revenues for the fiscal year, net of appropriation  lapses and  intergovernmental
transfer  transaction  contributions,  totaled $19,966.2 million against Commonwealth  revenues,  net of tax refund
and  rebate  reserves,  of  $19,691.1  million.  Financial  operation  during  the  fiscal  year  caused  the total
unappropriated surplus balance to decline by $275 million as of June 30, 2001, an amount smaller than budgeted.

         Commonwealth  revenues (prior to reserves for tax refunds) totaled $20,561.7 million,  $81.2 million (.4%)
above  the  estimate  made at the time the  budget  was  enacted.  Appropriations  from  Commonwealth  funds in the
enacted budget for fiscal 2001 (including supplemental appropriations) were2.9% over fiscal 2000 appropriations.

         The fiscal 2001 budget continued  Governor  Ridges' emphasis of tax cutes targeted to making  Pennsylvania
competitive for attracting new employment opportunities and retaining existing jobs.

         The enacted  fiscal  2002 budget  provides  for  $20,689.9  million of  appropriations  from  Commonwealth
revenues,  an increase of 3.5% over  appropriations for fiscal 2001.  Commonwealth  revenues are projected to total
$20,361.1  million (after  providing for enacted tax cuts),  an increase of 3.4% over fiscal 2001 actual  receipts.
The difference between the amount of projected  revenues and  appropriations  budgeted is to be taken from the $335
million fiscal year beginning balance.

         The fiscal 2002  estimate for  Commonwealth  revenues  were  prepared in June 2001 at the time of budgeted
enactment  based on an economic  forecast for national real gross domestic  product to grow at a 2.8% rate from the
second  quarter of 2001 to the second  quarter of 2002.  The  forecast  anticipated  more rapid  national  economic
growth  that  occurred  during  fiscal  2001.  The higher rate of economic  growth was  anticipated  in response to
fiscal and  monetary  policies  designed  to  stimulate  economic  activity.  The  national  unemployment  rate was
forecasted  to rise above the 5% rate and  inflation  was  expected  to remain  quite  moderate  during the period.
Trends for the  Pennsylvania  economy are  expected to maintain  their  current  close  association  with  national
economic  trends.  Personal  income growth in  Pennsylvania  is  anticipated  to remain  slightly below that of the
U.S.,  while the Pennsylvania  unemployment  rate is anticipated to be very close to the national rate. The effects
on the  national  and state  economy,  and  consequently  on  Commonwealth  tax  revenues,  that occur  directly or
indirectly  as a result of the  September  11, 2001  terrorist  attacks on New York City and  Washington,  D.C. are
unknown at this  time,  but may  contribute  to slower  growth of tax  revenues  than  anticipated  in the  enacted
budget.  The  Commonwealth  has begun a review of revenue  and  expenditure  projections  for fiscal 2002 to assess
changes that may be needed if economic  conditions  deteriorate.  On October 2, 2001,  the Governor  announced that
$200 million of fiscal 2002 appropriations would be held in reserve from current spending.

         Achievement  of financial  results as budgeted may be adversely  affected by a number of trends or events,
including  developments  in the national and state economy as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist  attacks
and adverse developments in industries accounting for employment and economic production in the Commonwealth.

         According to a  Pennsylvania  Department of Revenue New Release New Release  dated  October 31, 2001,  the
state  collected $1.4 billion in General Fund revenues in October - $32.4million,  or 2.2%, less than  anticipated.
Fiscal year-to-date General Fund collections total $6 billion, which is $166.1 million, or 2.7%, below estimate.

         The current  constitutional  provisions relating to Commonwealth debt permit the issuance of the following
types of debt:  (i) debt to suppress  insurrection  or  rehabilitate  areas affected by disaster,  (ii)  electorate
approved  debt,  (iii)  debt for  capital  projects  subject  to an  aggregate  debt limit of 1.75 times the annual
average tax revenue of the preceding five (5) fiscal years, and (iv) tax  anticipation  notes payable in the fiscal
year of issuance.  All debt except tax  anticipation  notes must be amortized in substantial  and regular  amounts.
Outstanding general obligation debt totaled $5,416.2 million at June 30, 2001.

         Other  state-related  obligations  include  "moral  obligations."  Moral  obligation  indebtedness  may be
issued by the Pennsylvania  Housing Financing Agency, a state-created  agency which provides  financing for housing
for  lower  and  moderate  income  families,  and the  Hospitals  and  Higher  Education  Facilities  Authority  of
Philadelphia,  a municipal  authority  organized by the City of  Philadelphia  to, among other things,  acquire and
prepare various sites for use as intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded.

         The  Commonwealth,  through  several of its  departments  and agencies,  leases  various real property and
equipment.  Some leases and their  respective  lease  payments are, with the  Commonwealth's  approval,  pledged as
security for debt obligations issued by certain public authorities or other entities within the state.

         In addition,  certain  Commonwealth-created  organizations  had statutory  authorization to issue debt for
which  Commonwealth  appropriations to pay debt service thereon are not required.  The debt of these  organizations
is funded by the assets of, or revenues  derived  from,  the various  projects  financed  and is not a statutory or
moral obligation of the Commonwealth.  Some of these agencies,  however,  are indirectly  dependent on Commonwealth
operating  appropriations.  The Commonwealth also maintains  pension plans covering state employees,  public school
employees and employees of certain state-related organizations.

         Pennsylvania's  average annual  unemployment  rate was equivalent to the national  average  throughout the
1990's.  Slower economic growth caused the  unemployment  rate in the Commonwealth to rise to 7.0% in 1991 and 7.6%
in  1992.  The  resumption  of  faster  economic  growth  resulted  in an  annual  decrease  in the  Commonwealth's
unemployment  rate to 4.2% in 2000. From 1996 through 2000,  Pennsylvania's  annual average  unemployment  rate was
below the Middle Atlantic  Region's  average,  but slightly  higher than that of the United States.  According to a
Pennsylvania  Department of Revenue  Publication dated October 25, 2001,  Pennsylvania's  unemployment rate fell to
4.6% in September 2001.  Nationally the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9% in August 2000.

         As of September 15, 2001,  Pennsylvania  general obligation bonds were rated AA by S&P, Aa2 by Moody's and
AA by Fitch.  Those ratings are subject to change.

         |X| Local  Tax  Considerations.  Pennsylvania  municipalities  and  school  districts  are,  with  certain
limitations,  authorized  to impose a variety of taxes.  The real estate tax is the only tax  authorized  by law to
be levied by all classes of local  government in the state.  Thus,  property owners generally pay real estate taxes
to three independent authorities - the county, the municipality and the school district.

         The Local Tax Enabling Act, applicable to almost all political  subdivisions in Pennsylvania,  gives local
governments  (other than  counties)  and school  districts  in  Pennsylvania  a broad range of non-real  estate tax
sources.  The taxes  commonly in use include the earned  income or wage tax, per capita  taxes,  occupation  taxes,
occupational  privilege  taxes,  real estate  transfer  taxes,  amusement  and admission  taxes and business  gross
receipts  taxes  (although the authority of political  subdivisions  to impose new business gross receipts taxes is
limited).  Counties are also permitted to impose intangible personal property taxes.

         In addition,  the City and School  District of  Philadelphia  have separate  taxing  authority to impose a
variety of business taxes, wage taxes, income and other various taxes.

         Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks,  President Bush appointed  Pennsylvania Governor Ridge
to a newly  created  cabinet post for Homeland  Security.  Lieutenant  Governor Mark  Schweiker  will serve out the
remainder of Governor Ridge's Gubernatorial term.

         There is various  litigation  pending  against the  Commonwealth,  its officers and employees.  An adverse
decision in one or more of these cases could materially affect the Commonwealth's governmental operations.

         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.  It is not  required to use all of
these strategies at all times, and at times may not use them.

         Portfolio  Turnover.  The Fund may  engage in some  short-term  trading to seek its  objective.  Portfolio
turnover can increase the Fund's  transaction costs (and reduce its performance).  However,  in most cases the Fund
does not pay brokerage  commissions  on debt  securities it trades,  so active  trading is not expected to increase
Fund  expenses  greatly.  While  securities  trading can cause the Fund to realize  gains that are  distributed  to
shareholders as taxable distributions.

         |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 to its  maturity.  The tender
may be at par value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the obligation.

         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  ninety-one  (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 (1) year and upon no more  than  thirty  (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.  Floating  rate or variable rate  obligations  that do not provide for the recovery of principal and
interest within seven (7) days are subject to the Fund's limitations on investments in illiquid securities.

         |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" (or "forward  commitment")
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 (6) 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 (6) months and
possibly  as long as two (2) 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.  No income  begins to accrue
to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund receives the security at settlement of the trade.

         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 of any type 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 (1) to five (5) days of the  purchase.  Repurchase  agreements  having a maturity  beyond seven (7) 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 (7) days or less.

         Repurchase  agreements,  considered "loans" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("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.

         The Manager will monitor the vendor's  creditworthiness  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.

         |X| Illiquid and Restricted  Securities.  The Fund has percentage  limitations  that apply to purchases of
illiquid and restricted  securities,  as stated in the Prospectus.  The Manager  monitors  holdings of illiquid and
restricted  securities  on an  ongoing  basis to  determine  whether  to sell any  holdings  to  maintain  adequate
liquidity.




         |X|  Borrowing  for  Leverage.  The Fund has the  ability to borrow  from banks on an  unsecured  basis in
amounts  limited (as a fundamental  policy) to a maximum of 10% of its total assets,  to invest the borrowed  funds
in  portfolio  securities.  This  technique  is known as  "leverage."  The Fund may  borrow  only  from  banks  for
investment purposes and extraordinary or emergency purposes,  and may borrow from affiliated  investment  companies
only for  extraordinary  or emergency  purposes  subject to obtaining all required  authorizations  and  regulatory
approvals.  As a  fundamental  policy,  borrowings  can be made only to the  extent  that the  value of the  Fund's
assets,  less its liabilities  other than  borrowings,  is equal to at least 300% of all borrowings  (including the
proposed  borrowing).  If the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset  coverage  requirement,  the
Fund is required to reduce its bank debt within  three (3) days to meet the  requirement.  To do so, the Fund might
have to sell a portion of its investments at a disadvantageous time.

         The Fund will pay interest on these loans,  and that interest  expense will raise the overall  expenses of
the Fund and reduce its returns.  If it does borrow,  its expenses  will be greater than  comparable  funds that do
not  borrow  for  leverage.  The  interest  on a loan  might be more (or  less)  than the  yield on the  securities
purchased  with the loan  proceeds.  Additionally,  the Fund's net asset value per share might  fluctuate more than
that of funds that do not borrow.

         |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 (5) 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 could:

         |_| sell interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures,
         |_| buy puts on such futures or securities, or
         |_| write covered calls on securities, interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures.
         The Fund can also write covered calls 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 could:

         |_| 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.

         |X| 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.



         No money is paid by or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a futures  contract.  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 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).

         |X| 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.

         |X| 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.

         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.

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

         The Fund's custodian,  or a securities depository acting for the Custodian,  will act as the Fund's escrow
agent through the facilities of the Options Clearing  Corporation  ("OCC"), as to the investments on which the Fund
has written calls traded on exchanges,  or as to other acceptable  escrow  securities.  In that way, no margin will
be required for such  transactions.  OCC will release the  securities  on the  expiration  of the 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 in all  appropriate  cases an  equivalent  dollar value of liquid  assets  identified on the
Fund's books.  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  might 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 can 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.

         |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 it 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.

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

         |_| 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
Pennsylvania  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 make loans  except (a) by lending  portfolio  securities,  (b) through the purchase of
debt  instruments or similar  evidences of  indebtedness,  (c) through  repurchase  agreements,  and (d) through an
interfund  lending program with other affiliated  funds. No such loan may be made through  interfund lending if, as
a result,  the  aggregate of those loans would  exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's  total  assets  (taken at
market value at the time the loan is made).

         |_| The Fund cannot  borrow money or securities  for any purposes,  except that (a) borrowing up to 10% of
the  Fund's  total  assets  from  banks  and/or  affiliated   investment  companies  as  a  temporary  measure  for
extraordinary  or  emergency  purposes  and (b)  borrowing  up to 5% of the  Fund's  total  assets  from  banks for
investment purposes, is permitted.

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

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

         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.

         |X| Does The Fund Have Other Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental Policies?

         The Fund has several additional  restrictions on its investment  policies that are not fundamental,  which
means that they can be changed by the Board of Trustees, without obtaining shareholder approval:

         |_| 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  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 the  Fund's  policy on
borrowing and hedging instruments is permitted.

         |_| The Fund cannot purchase  securities other than hedging instruments on margin.  However,  the Fund may
obtain 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 buy or sell futures  contracts  other than interest  rate futures and  municipal  bond
index futures.

         |_| The Fund will not invest  more than 10% of its net assets in  securities  which are  restricted  as to
disposition  under  the  federal  securities  laws,  except  that the  Fund may  purchase  without  regard  to this
limitation  restricted  securities  which are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933.

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. The
Manager has no present  intention  of  investing  more than 25% of the Fund's  total  assets in  securities  paying
interest  from  revenues of similar type projects or in  industrial  development  bonds.  This is not a fundamental
policy and  therefore  could be changed  without  shareholder  approval.  However,  if that change  were made,  the
Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information would be supplemented to reflect the change.

How the Fund Is Managed

Organization  and History.  The Trust was  originally  organized in 1989 as a  Massachusetts  business trust having
one  series,  the Fund.  In 1993 the  Trust  was  reorganized  to be a  multi-series  business  trust  (now  called
Oppenheimer  Multi-State  Municipal  Trust).  The Fund  became a  separate  series  of that  Trust.  The Fund is an
open-end,  non-diversified  management  investment  company  with an  unlimited  number  of  authorized  shares  of
beneficial  interest.  Each of the three (3) series of the Trust is a  separate  fund that  issues its own  shares,
has its own investment portfolio, and has its own assets and liabilities.

         The Trust 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.

         |X| 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.  Each class
of shares:

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

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

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

         |X| Meetings of  Shareholders.  As a series of 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  ten (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 (6) 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.

         |X|  Shareholder and Trustee  Liability.  The Fund's  Declaration of Trust contains an express  disclaimer
of  shareholder  or  Trustee  liability  for the Fund's  obligations.  It also  provides  for  indemnification  and
reimbursement  of  expenses  out of the  Fund's  property  for  any  shareholder  held  personally  liable  for its
obligations.  The  Declaration  of Trust also states that upon  request,  the Fund shall  assume the defense of any
claim made  against a  shareholder  for any act or  obligation  of the Fund and shall  satisfy any judgment on that
claim.  Massachusetts  law  permits a  shareholder  of a business  trust  (such as the trust of which the Fund is a
series) 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.  The  contracts  further
state that 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      Director.
2  For the 2000 calendar year.
3 Total  compensation  for the 2000  calendar  year  includes  compensation  received  for  serving as a Trustee or
Director    of 11 other Oppenheimer funds.
4 Includes $2,378 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
5 Includes $482 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
*Trustee  retirement  accruals were  ($43,482) for the period.  The aggregate  compensation  from the Fund does not
reflect    this negative accrual.

         |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 (5) 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  fifteen  (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 7, 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:

         Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith,  4800 Deer Lake Drive E.,  Jacksonville,  FL 32246,  which owned, for
the benefit of its  customers,  172,862.153  Class C shares  (representing  approximately  7.04% of the Fund's then
outstanding Class C shares).

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

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

         The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the  Fund's  registration  statement  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public  Reference  Room in  Washington,  D.C. You
can  obtain  information  about  the  hours  of  operation  of the  Public  Reference  Room by  calling  the SEC at
1-202-942-8090.  The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's  registration  statement  on the SEC's
EDGAR  database at the SEC's  Internet  web site at  http://www.sec.gov.  Copies may be  obtained,  after  paying a
duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following E-mail address:  publicinfo@sec.gov.,  or by writing to the
SEC's Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

         |X|  The  Investment  Advisory  Agreement.   The  Manager  provides  investment  advisory  and  management
services  to the Fund under an  investment  advisory  agreement  between  the  Manager  and the Fund.  The  Manager
selects securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to day business.

         The  portfolio  manager of the Fund is  employed  by the  manager  and is the  person  who is  principally
responsible  for the  day-to-day  management  of the Fund's  investment  portfolio.  Other members of the Manager's
Fixed-Income  Portfolio  Team  provide the  portfolio  manager  with  research  and counsel in managing  the Fund's
investments.

         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.

         The Fund pays expenses not expressly  assumed by the Manager  under the advisory  agreement.  The advisory
agreement  lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major  categories  relate to interest,  taxes,  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 (3) fiscal years are listed below.

         The investment  advisory  agreement states that in the absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross
negligence  in the  performance  of its duties,  or reckless  disregard  for its  obligations  and duties under the
investment  advisory  agreement,  the Manager is not liable for any loss  sustained by reason of any  investment of
the Fund assets  made with due care and in good  faith.  The  agreement  permits  the Manager to act as  investment
adviser for any other person,  firm or corporation.  The Manager can use the name  "Oppenheimer" in connection with
other investment  companies for which it or an affiliate is the investment adviser or general  distributor.  If the
Manager  shall no longer act as  investment  adviser to the Fund,  the Manager can withdraw its  permission  to the
Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

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  commissions  paid to such brokers may be higher than another  qualified  broker would charge,  if
the  Manager  makes a good faith  determination  that the  commission  is fair and  reasonable  in  relation to the
services  provided.  Subject  to those  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.  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.  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  commissions  on  fixed-price  offerings to obtain
research,  in the same  manner as is  permitted  for agency  transactions.  The Board  permits  the  Manager to use
stated  commissions  on secondary  fixed-income  agency trades to obtain  research if the broker  represents to the
Manager  that:  (i) the trade is not from or for the  broker's  own  inventory,  (ii) the trade was executed by the
broker on an agency basis at the stated commission, and (iii) the trade is not a riskless principal transaction.

         The 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.

Distribution and Service Plans

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

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

         For additional  information about distribution of the Fund's shares,  including fees and expenses,  please
refer to "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,  including  a
majority of the Independent Trustees,2 cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

         Under the plans the  Manager  and the  Distributor,  in their sole  discretion,  from time to time may use
their own  resources  (at no direct  cost to the Fund) to make  payments  to  brokers,  dealers or other  financial
institutions  for  distribution  and  administrative  services they  perform.  The Manager may use 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 of Trustees and the  Independent  Trustees  must approve all material  amendments  to a plan. An
amendment  to  increase  materially  the  amount  of  payments  to be made  under  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 (6) 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 the plan.  The 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  Fees.  Under the Class A service  plan,  the  Distributor  currently  uses the
fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,  dealers and other financial  institutions  (they are referred to as
"recipients")  for personal  services and account  maintenance  services they provide for their  customers who hold
Class A shares.  The services include,  among others,  answering  customer  inquiries about the Fund,  assisting in
establishing  and  maintaining  accounts in the Fund,  making the Fund's  investment  plans available and providing
other services at the request of the Fund or the  Distributor.  The  Distributor  makes payments to plan recipients
quarterly  at an  annual  rate not to exceed  0.15% 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  $111,960,
all of which  was  paid by the  Distributor  to  recipients.  That  included  $7,037  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 types of services  that  recipients  provide  for the  service  fee are similar to the  services
provided under Class A plans described above.

         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 types of services  that  recipients  provide for the service  fee are similar to the  services  provided  under
Class A plans  described  above.  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 above,
|_|      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 Class B and Class C 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  payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and asset-based  sales charges paid by
         other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,
|_|      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.

         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 plan allows 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 on 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.

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

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

                             Standardized Yield = 2[(a-b     6
                                                     --- + 1) - 1]
                                                     cd
The symbols above represent the following factors: a = dividends and interest earned during the thirty (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 thirty (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 thirty (30) day period may differ from the yield for other periods. The SEC formula assumes that the standardized yield for a thirty (30) day period occurs at a constant rate for a six (6) month period and is annualized at the end of the six (6) 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 thirty (30) day period. |_| 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 twelve (12) (to annualize the yield) and divided by the maximum offering price on the last day of the dividend period. The formula is shown below: Dividend Yield = dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date) The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current maximum initial sales charge. The maximum offering price for Class B 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. |_| 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 thirty (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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fund's Yields for the 30-Day Periods Ended 7/31/01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ --------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Tax-Equivalent Yield (41.29% Standardized Yield Dividend Yield Combined Federal/Pennsylvania Tax Bracket) Class of Shares ------------------ --------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- Without Sales Without Sales Without Sales Charge After Sales Charge After Sales Charge After Sales Charge Charge Charge ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- Class A 5.61% 5.34% 6.25% 5.95% 9.56% 9.10% ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- Class B N/A 4.85% 5.50% N/A 8.25% N/A ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- Class C N/A 4.85% 5.51% N/A 8.27% N/A ------------------ ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- |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 (10) years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. The Fund uses standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below. In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge of 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 one (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:
                                                    1/n
                                                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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fund's Total Returns for the Periods Ended 7/31/01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cumulative Total Average Annual Total Returns Returns (10 years or life of class) Class of Shares -------------- ------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- 5-Year 10-Year 1-Year (or life of class) (or life of class) -------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ After Without After Without After Without After Without Sales Sales Sales Sales Sales Sales Sales Sales Charge Charge Charge Charge Charge Charge Charge Charge -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Class A 67.50%1 75.84%1 2.96% 8.10% 3.67% 4.68% 5.29% 5.81% -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Class B 39.64%2 39.64%2 2.40% 7.40% 3.57% 3.90% 4.13%2 4.13%2 -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Class C 27.59%3 27.59%3 6.30% 7.30% 3.90%3 3.90%3 4.20%(3) 4.20%3 -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 1 Inception of Class A: 9/18/89 2 Inception of Class B: 5/3/93 3 Inception of Class C: 8/29/95 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 shares by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"). Lipper is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods based on categories relating to investment objectives. The performance of the Fund is ranked by Lipper against all other general municipal debt funds, other than money market funds, and other 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., ("Morningstar") 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 funds 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 measures a fund's (or class's) performance below ninety (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" rating (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) 3-year rating or its combined 3- and 5-year rating (weighted 60%/40% respectively), or its combined 3-, 5-, and 10-year rating (weighted 40%, 30% and 30%, respectively), depending on the inception date of the fund (or class). Ratings 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 rankings are percentages from one percent to one hundred percent and are not risk adjusted. For example, if a fund is in the 94th percentile, that means that 94% of the funds in the same category performed better than it did. |_| 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. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account that includes shares of the fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or similar presentation. The account performance may combine total return performance of the fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's advertisements and sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes, statistical data or other information about general or specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example, o information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or segments of those markets, o information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions, o the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions, o the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities, o information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of the United States or other countries or regions, o comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Buy Shares Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix C contains more information about the special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors. AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must be at least $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 three (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 IRAs and 403(b) plans), or for your joint accounts, or for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who are minors, |_| 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 Bond Fund Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer New York Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund Oppenheimer New Jersey Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Value Fund Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc. Oppenheimer Concentrated Growth Fund Oppenheimer Quest Global Value Fund, Inc.

P. Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust Centennial Tax Exempt Trust Centennial Government Trust Oppenheimer Cash Reserves Centennial Money Market Trust Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. 1 - "OSM" is 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 thirteen (13) month period (the "Letter of Intent period"). At the investor's request, this may include purchases made up to ninety (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 bound by the amended terms and that those amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters of Intent. If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter of Intent period do not equal or exceed the intended purchase amount, the concessions previously paid to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge retained by the Distributor will be adjusted to the rates applicable to actual total purchases. If total eligible purchases during the Letter of Intent period exceed the intended purchase amount and exceed the amount needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the sales charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate. That adjustment will be made only if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the excess of the amount of concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions that apply to the actual amount of purchases. The excess concessions returned to the Distributor will be used to purchase additional shares for the investor's account at the net asset value per share in effect on the date of such purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof. In determining the total amount of purchases made under a Letter, shares redeemed by the investor prior to the termination of the Letter of Intent period will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter in placing any purchase orders for the investor during the Letter of Intent period. All of such purchases must be made through the Distributor. |X| Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent. 1. Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary) made pursuant to a Letter, shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter shall be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent. For example, if the intended purchase amount is $50,000, the escrow shall be shares valued in the amount of $2,500 (computed at the 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 (13) month Letter of Intent period, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor. 3. If, at the end of the thirteen (13) month Letter of Intent period the total purchases pursuant to the Letter are less than the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter, the investor must remit to the Distributor an amount equal to the difference between the dollar amount of sales charges actually paid and the amount of sales charges which would have been paid if the total amount purchased had been made at a single time. That sales charge adjustment will apply to any shares redeemed prior to the completion of the Letter. If the difference in sales charges is not paid within twenty days after a request from the Distributor or the dealer, the Distributor will, within sixty days of the expiration of the Letter, redeem the number of escrowed shares necessary to realize such difference in sales charges. Full and fractional shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow. If a request is received to redeem escrowed shares prior to the payment of such additional sales charge, the sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds. 4. By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares. 5. The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include: (a) Class A shares sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge, (b) Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, and (c) Class A or Class B shares acquired by exchange of either (1) Class A shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a Class A initial or contingent deferred sales charge or (2) Class B shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. 6. Shares held in escrow hereunder will automatically be exchanged for shares of another fund to which an exchange is requested, as described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Exchange Shares" and the escrow will be transferred to that other fund. Asset Builder Plans. To establish an Asset Builder Plan to buy shares directly from a bank account, you must enclose a check (the minimum is $25) for the initial purchase with your application. 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 your can terminate these automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period (approximately ten (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 (3) 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 from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares rather than another. The Distributor will not accept any order in the amount of $500,000 or more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts). That is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase Class A shares of the Fund. |X| Class B Conversion. The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after six (6) years is subject to the continuing availability of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel or tax adviser, to the effect that the conversion of Class B shares does not constitute a taxable event for the shareholder under Federal income tax law. If that revenue ruling or opinion is no longer available, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended. In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while such 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 (6) years. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax consequences of the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares, or any other conversion or exchange of shares. |X| Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations, such as custodian fees, trustees' fees, transfer agency fees, legal fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund's assets and are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset 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 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 sixty (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 three hundred ninety-seven (397) days when issued, (2) debt instruments that had a maturity of three hundred ninety-seven (397) days or less when issued and have a remaining maturity of more than sixty (60) days, and (3) non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of three hundred ninety-seven (397) days or less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of sixty (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 three hundred ninety-seven (397) days when issued that have a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or less, and (2) debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of three hundred ninety-seven (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 (6) 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 ninety (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 thirty (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 thirty (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 to the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan three (3) 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 withdrawal plans, because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except where the Class B and Class C 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. |_| 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. |_| Class B and Class C 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 |_| Only certain Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund are not exchangeable. |_| 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. |_| 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. |_| 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. |_| 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. |_| 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 thirty (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 any time. Although the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide you with notice of those changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. It may be required to provide 60 days notice prior to materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60 day notice is not required in extraordinary circumstances. |_| 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 eighteen (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 six (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 twelve (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 which class of shares they wish to exchange. |_| 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 fifty (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. 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. For full or partial exchanges of an account made by telephone, any special account features such as Asset Builder Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans will be switched to the new account unless the Transfer Agent is instructed otherwise. When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another, any special account feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan, will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer Agent not to do so. However, special redemption and exchange features such as Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund. In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, or would include shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases, only the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged. The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of the tax consequences of an exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one fund and a purchase of shares of another. "Reinvestment Privilege," above, discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds in such cases. The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange request or any other investment transaction. Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes Dividends and Distributions. Dividends will be payable on shares held of record at the time of the previous determination of net asset value, or as otherwise described in "How to Buy Shares." Daily dividends will not be declared or paid on newly purchased shares until such time as Federal Funds (funds credited to a member bank's account at the Federal Reserve Bank) are available from the purchase payment for such shares. Normally, purchase checks received from investors are converted to Federal Funds on the next business day. Shares purchased through dealers or brokers normally are paid for by the third business day following the placement of the purchase order. Shares redeemed through the regular redemption procedure will be paid dividends through and including the day on which the redemption request is received by the Transfer Agent in proper form. Dividends will be declared on shares repurchased by a dealer or broker for three (3) business days following the trade date (that is, up to and including the day prior to settlement of the repurchase). If all shares in an account are redeemed, all dividends accrued on shares of the same class in the account will be paid together with the redemption proceeds. The Fund's practice of attempting to pay dividends on Class A shares at a constant level requires the Manager to monitor the Fund's portfolio and, if necessary, to select higher-yielding securities when it is deemed appropriate to seek income at the level needed to meet the target. Those securities must be within the Fund's investment parameters, however. The Fund expects to pay dividends at a targeted level from its net investment income and other distributable income without any impact on the net asset values per share. The 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. 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. 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 federal 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; or (3) 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. This avoids a double tax on that income and capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains they receive from the Fund (unless the Fund's shares are held in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax). 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. Shares of the Fund will be exempt from Pennsylvania county personal property taxes to the extent that on the annual assessment date the Fund's portfolio securities consist of : |_| Pennsylvania municipal securities, and |_| obligations of the U.S. government (and certain qualifying obligations of governments of U.S. territories, agencies and instrumentalities). To the extent that distributions paid by the Fund are derived from interest on Pennsylvania municipal securities, qualifying obligations of the U.S. government and certain qualifying obligations of governments of U.S. territories, agencies and instrumentalities, those distributions will also be exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax, and in the case of residents of Philadelphia, exempt from the investment income tax of the School District of Philadelphia. Distributions from the Fund attributable to income from sources other than those will generally be subject to Pennsylvania personal income tax. Corporations that are subject to the Pennsylvania corporate net income tax will not be subject to tax on distributions received from the Fund provided that such distributions are not included in federal taxable income determined before net operating loss deductions and special deductions. As a result of a pronouncement by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, an investment in the Fund by a corporate shareholder will apparently qualify as an exempt asset for purposes of the single asset apportionment fraction available in computing the Pennsylvania capital stock/foreign franchise tax to the extent that the Fund's portfolio securities comprise investments in Pennsylvania and/or U.S. government securities that would be exempt assets if owned directly by the corporation. 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 Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other financial institutions that have a sales agreement with OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Fund's Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager. The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is a division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund's shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder servicing and administrative functions. It serves as the Transfer Agent for an annual per account fee. It also acts as shareholder servicing agent for the other Oppenheimer funds. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover. The Custodian. Citibank, N.A. is the Custodian of the Fund's assets. The Custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund's portfolio securities, and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. It will be the practice of the Fund to deal with the Custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the Custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances with the Custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance. Those uninsured balances 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 ================================================================================ To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund 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 Pennsylvania 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. /s/ KPMG LLP ------------ KPMG LLP Denver, Colorado August 21, 2001 STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS July 31, 2001

Bonds rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization are included in the equivalent Standard & Poor's rating category. As a general matter, unrated bonds may be backed by mortgage liens or equipment liens on the underlying property, and also may be guaranteed. Bonds which are backed by a letter of credit or by other financial institutions or agencies may be assigned an investment-grade rating by the Manager, which reflects the quality of the guarantor, institution or agency. Unrated bonds may also be assigned a rating when the issuer has rated bonds outstanding with comparable credit characteristics, or when, in the opinion of the Manager, the bond itself possesses credit characteristics which allow for rating. The unrated bonds in the portfolio are predominantly smaller issuers which have not applied for a bond rating. Only those unrated bonds which subsequent to purchase have not been designated investment grade by the Manager are included in the "Not Rated" category. 16 | OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES July 31, 2001

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 22 | OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Multi-State Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes as is available from municipal securities, 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 outstanding net when-issued or forward commitments of $2,076,666. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $16,224,224 as of July 31, 2001. Including the effect of leverage, inverse floaters represent 17.68% of the Fund's total assets as of July 31, 2001. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield securities, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk, greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than lower-yielding, higher-rated fixed-income securities. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of July 31, 2001, securities with an aggregate market value of $956,552, representing 0.55% of the Fund's net assets, were in default. 23 | OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued 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:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $43,483 and payments of $2,372 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $24,568 as of July 31, 2001. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 24 | OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ================================================================================ 2. Shares of Beneficial Interest The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

25 | OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued ================================================================================ 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 in excess of $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for the year ended July 31, 2001, was $718,004, or 0.60% of average annual net assets for each class of shares. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 indicated.

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 0.15% 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 0.15% 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 $111,960, all of which were paid by the Distributor to recipients, and included $7,037 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. 26 | OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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:

                                                                                                            Distributor's

================================================================================ 5. 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 $10,310,526, which represents 5.97% of the Fund's net assets. ================================================================================ 6. Bank Borrowings The Fund may borrow up to 5% of its total assets from a bank to purchase portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes. The Fund has entered into an agreement which enables it to participate with certain other Oppenheimer funds in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $250 million, collectively. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.625%. 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 0.09% per annum. The Fund had borrowings outstanding of $1,600,000 as of July 31, 2001. For the year ended July 31, 2001, the average monthly loan balance was $1,039,845 at an average interest rate of 6.307%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding at any month-end was $2,600,000.

Appendix A

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 “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.

Standard & Poor’s Rating Services

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-Term Credit Ratings AAA: Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong. AA: Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A: Bonds rated “A” are somewhat more susceptible to 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.

Fitch, Inc.

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.

Appendix C

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares3 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.4 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 plans5 4) Group Retirement Plans6 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.”7 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.

|_| 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.

(“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).

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

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

|X| Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue to make additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset value without a Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996 (the “prior Class A CDSC”).

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

__________ 1 Messrs. Murphy and Griffiths are not Directors of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. Mr. Griffiths is also not a Trustee of Oppenheimer Discovery Fund. Mr. Murphy is not a Director of Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

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

3 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund. 4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 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. 8 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

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

11 This provision does not apply to IRAs. 12 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans.

13 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.
