The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of September 30, 2010 and are subject to change. All securities except for those labeled “unrated” have been rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”) converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest rating is used. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality.
“Investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories. Securities not rated by an NRSRO may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. Please consult the Fund’s Prospectus for further information. Additional information can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to appropriate broad-based market indices.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2010, prices in the municipal bond market generally rose, contributing to higher net asset values and highly favorable total returns for Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals. In all, the Class A shares produced a total return of 7.90% at net asset value for the reporting period (2.77% with sales charge). As of September 30, 2010, the distribution yield of this Fund’s Class A shares was 5.54% at NAV.
The charts on pages 15 to 17 show the Fund’s performance. We encourage investors to remain focused on their long-term financial objectives for high levels of tax-free income and believe that this Fund’s investments offer structural advantages over the long term.
Securities issued in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which are exempt from federal, state and local income taxes, represented 28.9% of the Fund’s net assets on September 30, 2010. During the reporting period, securities issued by Puerto Rico made a positive contribution to the Fund’s total return. Most of the Fund’s investments involve “creatures of the state”—that is, securities that are supported by taxes and other revenues and are designed to help finance electric utilities, highways and education. Looking at the fiscal 2011 budget, Puerto Rico created a $9.13 billion spending plan by cutting its expenses by $2.12 billion, or 19%.
Better fiscal management has helped the Commonwealth significantly reduce pressure on its municipal bonds. A combination of expense freezes, layoffs and other prudent fiscal measures has helped it garner a favorable perception by the rating agencies and investors alike. When the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corp came to market in January 2010 with $1.8 billion in new debt, the offering was rated A or better by all three national ratings agencies. Additionally, the Commonwealth, its agencies and its financing arm, the Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico, retained their investment-grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service this reporting period. (Fitch Ratings does not directly rate Puerto Rico’s general obligation debt) Moody’s, as part of its rating recalibration in April 2010, changed its rating of the Commonwealth from Baa3 with a stable outlook to A3 with a stable outlook. The outlook was revised to negative in August 2010. We remain confident in the Commonwealth’s ability to collect taxes and make its bond payments.
The Fund continued to be invested this reporting period in bonds backed by proceeds from the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), the national litigation settlement
12 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
with U.S. tobacco manufacturers. At the end of this reporting period, MSA-backed tobacco bonds accounted for 22.8% of the Fund’s total assets and comprised the Fund’s largest industry sector.1
Facing several potentially troubling developments in the tobacco sector, tobacco bonds made a positive contribution to the Fund’s positive total return. Despite a 9.3% consumption decline in 2009, rating downgrades and a flurry of negative articles in the press, we continue to favor tobacco bonds. Our long-term view of the sector remains bullish and we will likely continue to hold a greater percentage of tobacco bonds in our portfolios than our peers.
As in prior reporting periods, the tobacco bonds this Fund held during this reporting period made all scheduled payments of interest and principal on time and in full. Although price and ratings volatility remain likely over the near term, we continue to believe that carefully researched MSA-backed bonds are fundamentally sound, and we are confident that these bonds will continue to provide high levels of tax-free income to the long-term benefit of our yield-seeking investors.
The Fund continued to favor the higher education sector, which constituted 11.9% of total assets as of September 30, 2010. The bonds we hold in this sector have regularly provided high levels of tax-free income with what we believe to be far less credit risk than their external ratings would suggest. The higher education sector contributed positively to the Fund’s total return this reporting period.
The Fund also held 6.2% in General Obligation bonds as of the end of the reporting period. The difficult fiscal situations that have proven challenging to so many state and local government officials have created fear in the marketplace. As a result, we have been able to acquire General Obligation debt from a variety of local governments in New York State at attractive tax-free yields, which contributed to positive results. Though fear remains prevalent, we believe that investors should be cognizant that a distinct difference exists between a political budget crisis and an inability to pay debt.
1. Investments in “tobacco bonds,” which are backed by the proceeds a state or territory receives from the 1998 national litigation settlement with tobacco manufacturers, may be vulnerable to economic and/or legislative events that affect issuers in a particular municipal market sector. Annual payments by MSA-participating manufacturers, for example, hinge on many factors, including annual domestic cigarette shipments, inflation and the relative market share of non-participating manufacturers. To date, we believe consumption figures remain within an acceptable range of the assumptions used to structure MSA bonds. Future MSA payments could be reduced if consumption were to fall more rapidly than originally forecast.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
As of September 30, 2010, the Fund was invested in the hospital/health care sector, representing 4.9% of the Fund’s total assets, and in the electric and sewer utilities sectors, with 5.3% and 4.7% of the Fund’s total assets, respectively. The overall fundamentals in these sectors remained stable this reporting period, contributing to positive results.
During this reporting period, the Fund remained invested in municipal inverse-floating rate securities, which are tax-exempt securities with interest payments that move inversely to changes in short-term interest rates. These “inverse floaters” generally offer higher tax-free yields than fixed-rate bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality, but they face greater price volatility, too. During this reporting period, inverse floaters provided attractive levels of tax-free income and contributed quite favorably to the Fund’s total return. This outcome illustrates why we continue to believe that “inverse floaters” belong in our fund portfolios.
Our approach to municipal bond investing is flexible and responsive to market conditions. Shareholders should note that market conditions during this reporting period did not affect the Fund’s overall investment strategies or cause it to pay any capital gain distributions. In closing, we believe that the Fund’s structure and composition as well as our time-tested strategies will continue to benefit long-term investors through interest rate and economic cycles.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the Fund held until September 30, 2010. In the case of Class A, Class B and Class C shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B and Class C shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged index of a broad range of investment grade municipal bonds that is widely regarded as a measure of the performance of the general municipal bond market and the Consumer Price Index, a non-securities index that measures change in the inflation rate. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends but does not consider the effect of capital gains or transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs that follow shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of Fund business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the securities in the index.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, visit us at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or call us at 1.800.525.7048. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. See page 18 for further information.

NOTES
Total returns and the ending account values in the graphs include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns shown do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.
This annual report must be preceded or accompanied by the current prospectus of Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended September 30, 2010.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios based on the 6-month period ended September 30, 2010 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Class A | | | 0.95 | % |
Class B | | | 1.79 | |
Class C | | | 1.71 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) | | Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2010 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Level 3— | | | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek the maximum current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes for individual investors consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s investment adviser 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 and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B and C have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s
43 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
U.S. domestic and international debt instruments (including corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and “money market-type” debt instruments with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing price quotations obtained from independent pricing services or broker-dealers. Such prices are typically determined based upon information obtained from market participants including reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations and inputs such as benchmark yields and issuer spreads from identical or similar securities.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies of the Fund during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery.
44 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the 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 purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. 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 or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of September 30, 2010, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
| | | | |
| | When-Issued or | |
| | Delayed Delivery | |
| | Basis Transactions | |
|
Purchased securities | | $ | 14,400,000 | |
Sold securities | | | 934,068 | |
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 may expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s exposure to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters amount to $212,365,000 as of September 30, 2010, which represents 13.45% of the Fund’s total assets.
Certain inverse floating rate securities are created when the Fund purchases and subsequently transfers a municipal bond security (the “municipal bond”) to a broker dealer. The municipal bond is typically a fixed rate security. The broker dealer (the “sponsor”) creates a trust (the “Trust”) and deposits the municipal bond. The Trust issues short-term floating rate notes available to third parties and a residual interest in the municipal bond (referred to as an “inverse floating rate security”) to the Fund. The terms of these inverse floating rate securities grant the Fund the right to require that the Trust issuing the inverse floating rate security compel a tender of the short-term floating rate notes to facilitate the Fund’s repurchase of the underlying municipal bond. Following such a request, the Fund pays the sponsor the principal amount due to the holders of the short-term floating rate notes issued by the Trust and exchanges the inverse floating rate security for the underlying municipal bond. These transactions are considered secured borrowings for financial reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatments, the Fund includes the municipal bond position on its Statement of Investments (but does not separately include the inverse floating rate securities received). The Fund also includes the value of the municipal bond and a payable amount equal to the
45 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
short-term floating rate notes issued by the Trust on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The interest rates on these short-term floating rate notes reset periodically, usually weekly. The holders of these short-term floating rate notes have the option to tender their investment, to the sponsor or the Trust’s liquidity provider, for redemption at par at each reset date. Income from the municipal bond position and the interest expense on the payable for the short-term floating rate notes issued by the Trust are recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2010, municipal bond holdings with a value of $329,730,992 shown on the Fund’s Statement of Investments are held by such Trusts and serve as collateral for the $212,365,000 in short-term floating rate notes issued and outstanding at that date.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters involve certain risks. The market value of an inverse floating rate security can be more volatile than that of a conventional fixed-rate bond having similar credit quality, maturity and redemption provisions. Typically, an inverse floating rate security tends to underperform fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates are rising but tends to outperform fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates are stable or falling. An inverse floating rate security entails a degree of leverage because the trust issues short-term securities in a ratio to the inverse floating rate security with the underlying long-term bond providing collateral for the obligation to pay the principal value of the short-term securities if and when they are tendered. If the Fund has created the inverse floater by depositing a long-term bond into a trust, it may be required to provide additional collateral for the short-term securities if the value of the underlying bond deposited in the trust falls.
At September 30, 2010, the Fund’s residual exposure to these types of inverse floating rate securities were as follows:

These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the sponsor of the inverse floater, in certain circumstances, for the amount of the difference between the liquidation value of the underlying security (which is the basis of the inverse floater) and the principal amount due to the holders of the short-term floating rate notes issued by the Trust in conjunction with the inverse floating rate security. Under the standard terms of an inverse floating rate security, absent such a shortfall and forbearance agreement, the Fund would not be required to make such a reimbursement. The Manager monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in such inverse floating rate securities, if it deems it appropriate to do so. As of September 30, 2010, in addition to the exposure detailed in the preceding table, the Fund’s maximum exposure under such agreements is estimated at $117,300,000.
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying obligors subsequently default. Information concerning securities in default as of September 30, 2010 is as follows:

Cost | | $ | 822,737 | |
Market Value | | $ | 619,173 | |
Market Value as a % of Net Assets | | | 0.05 | % |
The Fund has entered into forbearance agreements with certain obligors under which the Fund has agreed to temporarily forego receipt of the original principal or coupon interest rates. As of September 30, 2010, securities with an aggregate market value of $3,357,872, representing 0.25% of the Fund’s net assets, were subject to these forbearance agreements. Interest payments of $108,500 are contractually owed to the Fund with respect to these securities and will not be collected under these forbearance agreements.
Concentration Risk. There are certain risks arising from geographic concentration in any state, commonwealth or territory. Certain economic, regulatory or political developments occurring in the state, commonwealth or territory may impair the ability of certain issuers of municipal securities to pay principal and interest on their obligations.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. | | As of September 30, 2010, the Fund had $76,437,156 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of September 30, 2010, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows: |

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for September 30, 2010. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | 3,801 | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 14,026 | |
Accumulated Liability as of September 30, 2010 | | | 114,502 | |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdraft at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid $407,325 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B and Class C shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares daily net assets. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B or Class C plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at September 30, 2010 were as follows:
| | | | |
|
Class B | | $ | 1,638,745 | |
Class C | | | 2,192,961 | |
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Fund for a portion of the legal costs and fees incurred in connection with the pending litigation matters discussed in the “Pending Litigation” note which appears later in this report. During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $52,486 for legal costs and fees.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.
5. Borrowings
The Fund can borrow money from banks in amounts up to one third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing portfolio securities. The Fund can also borrow for other purposes, such as to raise money to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued “inverse floaters” to the Fund, or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their short-term securities by the holders of those securities. The Fund also may borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund. The use of leverage will subject the Fund to greater costs than funds that do not borrow for leverage, and may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive to interest changes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield. Expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to interest on borrowings and commitment fees are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with conduit lenders and a bank which enables it to participate with certain other Oppenheimer funds in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings of up to $2.25 billion, collectively. To secure the loan, the Fund pledges investment securities in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover these borrowings are noted in the Statement of Investments. Interest is charged to the Fund, based on its borrowings, at current commercial paper issuance rates (0.341% as of September 30, 2010). The Fund pays additional fees annually to its lender on its outstanding borrowings to manage
53 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS

5. Borrowings Continued
and administer the facility. The Fund is also allocated its pro-rata share of an annual structuring fee and ongoing commitment fees both of which are based on the total facility size. Total fees and interest that are included in expenses on the Fund’s Statement of Operations related to its participation in the borrowing facility during the year ended September 30, 2010 equal 0.14% of the Fund’s average net assets on an annualized basis. The Fund has the right to prepay such loans and terminate its participation in the conduit loan facility at any time upon prior notice.
As of September 30, 2010, the Fund had borrowings outstanding at an interest rate of 0.341%. Details of the borrowings for the year ended September 30, 2010 are as follows:
| | | | |
|
Average Daily Loan Balance | | $ | 29,170,959 | |
Average Daily Interest Rate | | | 0.306 | % |
Fees Paid | | $ | 1,764,312 | |
Interest Paid | | $ | 91,366 | |
6. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor — including the Fund. The lawsuits naming the Fund as a defendant also name as defendants certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the Fund. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that the Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that the Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations and certain state laws. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Litigation involving certain other Oppenheimer funds is similar in nature.
In 2009, what are claimed to be derivative lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and a subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits were filed by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, and relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff”). Those suits allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the
54 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors as defendants. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and is defending against them vigorously. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has also engaged counsel to represent the Fund and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Fund may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not have any material effect on the operations of the Fund, that the outcome of all of the suits together should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals, including the statement of investments, as of September 30, 2010, and the related statement of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 AMT-Free New York Municipals as of September 30, 2010, the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. 99.62% of the dividends were derived from interest on municipal bonds and are not subject to federal income taxes. To the extent a shareholder is subject to any state or local tax laws, some or all of the dividends received may be taxable.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Daniel Loughran, Scott Cottier, Troy Willis, Mark DeMitry, Marcus Franz, and Michael Camarella, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources, that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load New York municipal debt funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year performance was better than its peer group median although its three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load New York municipal debt funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees were equal to its peer group median and higher than its peer group average. The Fund’s contractual management fees were higher than its peer group median and competitive with its peer group average. The Fund’s total expenses were equal to its peer group median and higher than its peer group average.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited/Continued
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through September 30, 2011. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website.
As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

• | | Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the data. |

The Fund’s Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the Respective Boards
1. | | The Fund’s Governance Committee (the “Committee”) will evaluate potential Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The |
| | Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds’ investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection. |
|
2. | | The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individual’s background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual’s background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. |
|
3. | | The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: |
| • | | the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; |
|
| • | | a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
|
| • | | any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and |
|
| • | | the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. |
| | The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation. |
|
4. | | Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser) would be deemed an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds’ outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.” |
|
5. | | Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire |
| | which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee of a registered investment company. |
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
Based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 09/30/2010, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
