Murphy President Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust - ------------------------------------------------------ Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders - ------------------------------------------------------ 1 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q How did Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust perform during the six-month period that ended April 30, 2003? A. We are generally pleased with the Fund's performance. During a period in which some sectors of the bond market provided yields hovering near historical lows, we are satisfied that our multi-sector approach to fixed-income investing produced attractive total returns, including a competitive income and positive price appreciation. Why have bonds generally performed well during the past six months while stocks have continued to decline? Interest-rate sensitive bonds, such as U.S. Treasury securities and most foreign government bonds, gained value because interest rates have continued to decline in a generally weak global economy. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board reduced key short-term interest rates in November 2002 by a half point to just 1.25%, citing corporate scandals and war fears. When bond yields fall, their prices generally rise, producing capital appreciation. Bonds that respond more to the perceived credit quality of their issuers, such as high-yield corporate bonds, also generally gained value during the reporting period. After falling to historically low levels earlier in 2002, high-yield bond prices advanced during the reporting period as investors became more comfortable with the financial condition of many issuers, especially those that have reduced their borrowing costs and strengthened their balance sheets. In many cases, corporations have used money previously reserved for stock buy-backs to pay down their outstanding debt. What influences drove the Fund's performance during the reporting period? The Fund's high-yield corporate bonds provided the greatest contribution to its performance. In our view, corporate bonds began the reporting period with attractive valuations, and the Fund's relatively heavy exposure to this area boosted its returns [SIDEBAR] Portfolio Management Team Art Steinmetz Caleb Wong - ------------------------------------------------------ Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders - ------------------------------------------------------ 2 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST commensurately when those valuations began to improve. We focused particularly on bonds from energy companies that we expected to benefit from rising oil and gas prices. We also favored utilities that, in our view, were taking appropriate steps toward reducing their debt loads, and industrial companies that appeared poised to take advantage of greater economic growth. We reduced the Fund's exposure to international bonds early in the reporting period. We did so because we were concerned that escalating hostilities in the Middle East might lead to greater volatility in international bond markets, as often has been the case in the past. Although emerging-market bonds gained value through much of the reporting period, our underweighted position in international bonds began to benefit performance toward the end of the reporting period, as the U.S. dollar strengthened when the United States quickly and decisively deposed the Iraqi regime. The Fund contained some investment-grade corporate bonds during the period. Isn't that a departure from past practices? Yes. Historically, we have employed a "barbell" strategy that balances high-yield bonds with U.S. government securities. However, we added triple-B rated bonds, the lowest investment-grade credit rating, during the reporting period after their yields rose (and prices fell) to levels that we considered compelling compared to historical norms. We have since closed out the position in BBB-rated corporate debt and increased our exposure to high yield bonds. We believe as the equity markets improve and interest rates stop declining, it is less likely that high-grade corporate bonds can keep up with high yield, lower grade corporates. [SIDEBAR] "In our view, corporate bonds began the reporting period with attractive valuations, and the Fund's relatively heavy exposure to this area boosted its returns commensurately when those valuations began to improve." - ------------------------------------------------------ Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders - ------------------------------------------------------ 3 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What contribution did U.S. government securities make to the Fund's performance? U.S. Treasuries continued to benefit from falling interest rates and robust demand from risk-averse investors. However, we generally maintained the Fund's weighted average maturity for these securities at points that were shorter than those of its peer group. We believed throughout the period that the risks of higher interest rates outweighed the benefits of potentially lower rates to shareholders, and thus, we positioned the Fund accordingly. This relatively defensive posture prevented the Fund from participating fully in the U.S. Treasury market's rally. Similarly, while mortgage-backed securities from U.S. government agencies have performed relatively well, we have been concerned about the effects of potentially lower prepayment rates on their effective maturities. Therefore, we have gradually reduced the Fund's exposure to these securities to an underweighted position. What contribution did your quantitative models make to the Fund's performance? After providing a positive contribution during the previous six-month period, our various quantitative models hurt Fund performance during this reporting period. Our interest-rate model, which attempts to add value by forecasting changes in short-term rates, was primarily responsible for the models' overall negative returns, primarily because heightened market volatility caused it to generate a number of false signals. On the other hand, our foreign currency model provided generally positive results as it accurately suggested weakness in the U.S. dollar and strength in the euro relative to most major currencies. Our equity model, which has generally been bullish, produced mixed results during the reporting period and made no significant contribution to the Fund's performance. - ------------------------------------------------------ Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders - ------------------------------------------------------ 4 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST What is your outlook for the foreseeable future? We have positioned the Fund to benefit from stronger economic growth, which we believe is likely to occur now that the Iraq conflict is winding down. Accordingly, we have continued to emphasize corporate bonds, which we expect to continue to gain value as credit concerns subside. At the same time, we have generally de-emphasized U.S. and foreign government bonds, because of concerns that potentially higher interest rates could erode their value. Nonetheless, even in today's low interest rate environment, we have continued to focus on generating competitive levels of income. In our view, that focus is central to what makes Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust part of The Right Way to Invest. - ------------------------------------------------------ Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders - ------------------------------------------------------ 5 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS April 30, 2003 / Unaudited - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Principal Market Value Amount See Note 1 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Government Sector--8.4% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Government Obligations--8.4% Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.

Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $610,302 or 0.23% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2003. 15. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after April 30, 2003.

Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek high current income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). 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). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Structured Notes. The Fund invests in foreign currency-linked structured notes whose market values and redemption prices are linked to foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund also invests in "index-linked" notes whose principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance of an underlying index. The structured notes are leveraged, which increases the volatility of each note's market value relative to the change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate or underlying index. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured note is sold or matures. As of April 30, 2003, the market value of these securities comprised 2.7% of the Fund's net assets and resulted in unrealized gains in the current period of $322,631. The Fund also hedges a portion of the foreign currency exposure generated by these securities, as discussed in Note 5. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities on a When-Issued Basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends six months or more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully 34 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST invested. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund had entered into when-issued purchase commitments of $102,368,012. In connection with its ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, the Fund may enter into forward roll transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The forward roll may not extend for a period of greater than one year. The Fund generally records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sell of each forward roll as interest income. Risks to the Fund of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities to what was sold to the counterparty at redelivery; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-related pools. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 April 30, 2003, securities with an aggregate market value of $3,509,835, representing 1.34% of the Fund's net assets, were in default. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joint Repurchase Agreements. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds of the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. 35 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an estimated unused capital loss carryforward of $44,662,884. This estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased for losses deferred under tax accounting rules for the current fiscal year and is increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended April 30, 2003, the Fund did not use carryforward to offset capital gains realized. During the year ended October 31, 2002, the Fund did not use carryforward to offset capital gains realized. As of October 31, 2002, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows: Expiring ---------------------- 2003 $ 7,982,990 2006 1,509,541 2007 11,561,894 2008 5,440,197 2009 4,239,210 2010 9,434,931 ----------- Total $40,168,763 =========== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustees' Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the six months ended April 30, 2003, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $2,717 and payments of $12,435 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $57,507 as of April 30, 2003. 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 the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred is invested by the Fund in the fund(s) selected by the trustee. 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-distribution date. The Board of Trustees, in an effort to maintain a stable net asset value per share in the event of an additional distribution, may declare, effective on the ex-distribution date of an additional distribution, a reverse split of the shares of the 36 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST Fund in an amount that will cause the total number of shares held by each shareholder, including shares acquired on reinvestment of that distribution, to remain the same as before that distribution was paid. Also, in an effort to maintain a stable net asset value per share, the Fund may distribute return of capital dividends. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Shares of Beneficial Interest The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $.01 par value shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows: Six Months Ended April 30, 2003 Year Ended October 31, 2002 Shares Amount Shares Amount ------------------------------------------------------------- Net increase from dividends reinvested -- $-- 42,436 $355,582 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations, for the six months ended April 30, 2003, were $135,256,546 and $132,504,985, respectively. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 an annual fee of 0.65% on the Fund's average annual net assets. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transfer Agent Fees. Shareholder Financial Services, Inc. (SFSI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the transfer agent and registrar for the Fund. Fees paid to SFSI are based on the number of accounts and the number of shareholder transactions, plus out-of-pocket costs and expenses. 37 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Foreign Currency Contracts A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided by a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign currency transactions. Such realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as follows: Expiration Contract Valuation Amount as of Unrealized Unrealized Contract Description Dates (000s) April 30, 2003 Appreciation Depreciation - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contracts to Purchase Australian Dollar [AUD] 5/30/03- 6/5/03 2,690AUD $1,677,201 $ 27,795 $ -- Brazilian Real [BRR] 4/19/04- 4/23/04 4,174BRR 1,208,004 68,004 -- British Pound Sterling [GBP] 8/18/03 400GBP 634,851 11,651 -- Canadian Dollar [CAD] 6/5/03 1,225CAD 852,074 11,173 -- Euro [EUR] 5/27/03- 7/16/03 39,600EUR 4,413,501 102,712 -- Mexican Nuevo Peso [MXN] 6/13/03 3,066MXN 295,823 823 -- New Zealand Dollar [NZD] 5/30/03 1,140NZD 635,277 4,857 -- Norwegian Krone [NOK] 5/30/03 4,265NOK 607,481 7,030 -- ------------------------- 234,045 -- ------------------------- Contracts to Sell Brazilian Real [BRR] 5/12/03- 5/23/03 4,665BRR 1,595,086 -- 100,269 British Pound Sterling [GBP] 8/18/03- 9/8/03 1,390GBP 2,204,913 -- 19,835 Euro [EUR] 5/6/03- 10/8/03 2,935EUR 3,270,608 1,144 78,038 Japanese Yen [JPY] 5/30/03- 6/09/03 319,000JPY 2,678,616 -- 13,958 Philippines Peso [PHP] 7/28/03 31,527PHP 588,946 -- 13,946 Swiss Franc [CHF] 5/30/03 845CHF 623,575 -- 1,794 ------------------------- 1,144 227,840 ------------------------- Total Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation $235,189 $227,840 ========================= 38 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Futures Contracts A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities "interest rate futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations as closing and expiration of futures contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows: Unrealized Expiration Number of Valuation as of Appreciation Contract Description Dates Contracts April 30, 2003 (Depreciation) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contracts to Purchase DAX Index 6/20/03 4 $ 327,323 $ 18,952 Euro-Bundesobligation 6/6/03 35 4,399,551 26,081 FTSE 100 Index 6/20/03 1 62,540 770 Japan (Government of) Bonds, 10 yr. 6/10/03 7 842,571 4,883 NASDAQ 100 Index 6/19/03 10 1,108,000 81,200 United Kingdom Long Gilt 6/26/03 2 383,836 2,664 ---------- 134,550 ---------- Contracts to Sell Japan (Government of) Bonds, 10 yr. 6/11/03 1 1,204,092 (1,521) U.S. Long Bonds 6/19/03 29 3,306,906 (68,250) U.S. Treasury Nts., 2 yr. 6/26/03 294 63,476,438 (296,935) U.S. Treasury Nts., 5 yr. 6/19/03 217 24,683,750 (124,467) U.S. Treasury Nts., 10 yr. 6/19/03 79 9,094,875 (106,906) ---------- (598,079) ---------- $(463,529) ========== 39 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Option Activity The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities. The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Operations. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Written option activity for the six months ended April 30, 2003 was as follows: Call Options Put Options ------------------------------- --------------------------------- Principal (000s)/ Principal (000s)/ Number of Amount of Number of Amount of Contracts Premiums Contracts Premiums - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding as of October 31, 2002 -- $ -- -- $ -- Options written 3,931,745 65,307 1,746,010 79,080 Options closed or expired (590,000) (6,549) (1,160,685) (52,170) Options exercised (1,745) (18,755) -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Options outstanding as of April 30, 2003 3,340,000 $40,003 585,325 $ 26,910 ============================================================ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Interest Rate Swap Contracts The Fund may enter into an interest rate swap transaction to seek to maintain a total return or yield spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or for other non-speculative purposes. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate 40 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST payments. The coupon payments are based on an agreed upon principal amount and a specified index. Because the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as a notional principal amount. The Fund records an increase or decrease to interest income, in the amount due to or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement. Interest rate swaps are subject to credit risk (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and interest rate risk. The Fund could be obligated to pay more under its swap agreements than it receives under them, as a result of interest rate changes. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund had entered into the following interest rate swap agreements: Floating Rate Rate Paid by Received by Unrealized Notional the Fund at the Fund at Floating Termination Appreciation Swap Counterparty Principal April 30, 2003 April 30, 2003 Rate Index Date (Depreciation) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three-Month LIBOR BBA Deutsche Bank $1,820,000 3.1025% 1.33063% flat 3/4/08 $ 7,368 Three-Month USD LIBOR JPMorgan Chase Bank 6,140,000 3.052 1.31750 BBA Rate 3/10/08 43,824 Three-Month LIBOR BBA JPMorgan Chase Bank 2,580,000 3.230 1.34000 flat 2/24/08 (3,684) ------- $47,508 ======= - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Credit Swap Transactions The Fund may enter into a credit swap transaction to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or for other non-speculative purposes. Because the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as a notional principal amount. The Fund records an increase or decrease to interest income, in the amount due to or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement. Credit swaps are subject to credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations). During the six months ended April 30, 2003, the Fund entered into a transaction to hedge credit risk. The Fund pays an annual 2% interest fee on the notional amount in exchange for the counterparty paying in a potential credit event. Information regarding the credit swap is as follows: Unrealized Expiration Notional Valuation as of Appreciation Contract Description Date Amount April 30, 2003 (Depreciation) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deutsche Bank AG, Venezuela (Republic of) Credit Nts. 4/9/06 $175,000 $(28,690) $(28,690) Deutsche Bank AG, Venezuela (Republic of) Credit Nts. 4/10/06 280,000 (18,377) (18,377) JPMorgan Chase Bank, Jordan (Kingdom of) Credit Nts. 6/6/06 175,000 381 381 --------- $(46,686) ========= 41 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Illiquid or Restricted Securities As of April 30, 2003, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of April 30, 2003 was $17,854,575, which represents 6.83% of the Fund's net assets, of which $6,726 is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows: Acquisition Valuation as of Unrealized Security Date Cost April 30, 2003 Depreciation - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currency Argentine Peso (overdraft) 1/15/02 $6,610 $6,726 $116 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Borrowing and Lending Arrangements Interfund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements. The Fund entered into an "interfund borrowing and lending arrangement" with other funds in the Oppenheimer funds complex, to allow funds to borrow for liquidity purposes. The arrangement was initiated pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow these affiliated funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other, in an attempt to reduce borrowing costs below those of bank loan facilities. Under the arrangement the Fund may lend money to other Oppenheimer funds and may borrow from other Oppenheimer funds at a rate set by the Fund's Board of Trustees, based upon a recommendation by the investment manager. The Fund's borrowings, if any, are subject to asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act and the provisions of the SEC order and other applicable regulations. If the Fund borrows money, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day's notice, in which case the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at higher rates if a loan were not available from another Oppenheimer fund. If the Fund lends money to another fund, it will be subject to the risk that the other fund might not repay the loan in a timely manner, or at all. The Fund had no interfund borrowings or loans outstanding during the period ended or at April 30, 2003. 42 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FUND Unaudited - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust (the Fund) is a closed-end diversified management investment company with a primary investment objective of seeking high current income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund's secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. In seeking its objectives under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest any percentage of its assets in at least three of the following seven fixed income sectors: U.S. Government, Corporate, International, Asset-Backed, Municipal, Convertible and Money Market. Current income, preservation of capital and, secondarily, possible capital appreciation may be considerations in the allocation of assets among such sectors. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of "derivative investments" and can also engage in certain special investment techniques, including repurchase transactions, when-issued and delayed delivery transactions and hedging. Although, the Fund is not required to invest in any of these types of securities at all times. The investment advisor to the Fund is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Portfolio Managers of the Fund are Arthur Steinmetz and Caleb Wong. Mr. Steinmetz is a Vice President of the Fund and a Senior Vice President of the Advisor and Mr. Wong is Vice President of the Advisor and the Fund. Messrs. Steinmetz and Wong have been the persons principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio since February 1, 1999. Prior to February 1999, Mr. Steinmetz served as a portfolio manager and officer of other Oppenheimer funds. Mr. Wong worked on fixed-income quantitative research and risk management for the Advisor since July 1996, prior to which he was enrolled in the Ph.D. program for Economics as the University of Chicago. Other members of the Advisor's fixed-income portfolio department, particularly portfolio analysts, traders and other portfolio managers provide the Fund's Portfolio Managers with support in managing the Fund's portfolio. Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan--Pursuant to the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the Plan), as to shares of the Fund (Shares) not registered in nominee name, all dividends and capital gains distributions (Distributions) declared by the Fund will be automatically reinvested in additional full and fractional Shares unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. If Shares are registered in nominee name, the shareholder should consult the nominee if the shareholder desires to participate in the Plan. Shareholders that participate in the Plan (Participants) may, at their option, make additional cash investments in Shares, semi-annually in amounts of at least $100, through payment to Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., the agent for the Plan (the Agent), accompanied by a service fee of $0.75. Depending upon the circumstances hereinafter described, Plan Shares will be acquired by the Agent for the Participant's account through receipt of newly issued Shares or the purchase of outstanding Shares on the open market. If the market price of Shares on the relevant date (normally the payment date) equals or exceeds their net asset value, the Agent will ask the Fund for payment of the Distribution in additional Shares at the greater of the Fund's net asset value determined as of the date of purchase or 95% of the then-current market price. If the market price is lower than net asset value, the Distribution will be paid in cash, which the Agent will use to buy Shares on The New 43 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FUND Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- York Stock Exchange (the NYSE), or otherwise on the open market to the extent available. If the market price exceeds the net asset value before the Agent has completed its purchases, the average purchase price per Share paid by the Agent may exceed the net asset value, resulting in fewer Shares being acquired than if the Distribution had been paid in Shares issued by the Fund. Participants may elect to withdraw from the Plan at any time and thereby receive cash in lieu of Shares by sending appropriate written instructions to the Agent. Elections received by the Agent will be effective only if received more than ten days prior to the record date for any Distribution; otherwise, such termination will be effective shortly after the investment of such Distribution with respect to any subsequent Distribution. Upon withdrawal from or termination of the Plan, all Shares acquired under the Plan will remain in the Participant's account unless otherwise requested. For full Shares, the Participant may either: (1) receive without charge a share certificate for such Shares; or (2) request the Agent (after receipt by the Agent of signature guaranteed instructions by all registered owners) to sell the Shares acquired under the Plan and remit the proceeds less any brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. Fractional Shares may either remain in the Participant's account or be redeemed at the current market price with the proceeds remitted to the Participant. Shareholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may rejoin at any time by sending written instructions signed by all registered owners to the Agent. There is no direct charge for participation in the Plan; all fees of the Agent are paid by the Fund. There are no brokerage charges for Shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each Participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open market purchases of Shares to be issued under the Plan. Participants will receive tax information annually for their personal records and to assist in federal income tax return preparation. The automatic reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve Participants of any income tax that may be payable on Distributions. The Plan may be terminated or amended at any time upon 30 days' prior written notice to Participants which, with respect to a Plan termination, must precede the record date of any Distribution by the Fund. Additional information concerning the Plan may be obtained by shareholders holding Shares registered directly in their names by writing the Agent, Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., P.O. Box 173673, Denver, CO 80217-3673 or by calling 1-800-647-7374. Shareholders holding Shares in nominee name should contact their brokerage firm or other nominee for more information. Shareholder Information--The Shares are traded on the NYSE. Daily market prices for the Fund's shares are published in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction section of newspapers under the designation "OppenMlti." The Fund's NYSE trading symbol is OMS.Weekly net asset value (NAV) and market price information about the Fund is generally published each Monday in The Wall Street Journal and each Sunday in The New York Times and each Saturday in Barron's, and other newspapers in a table called "Closed-End Bond Funds." 44 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST SHAREHOLDER MEETING Unaudited - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On May 1, 2003, a special shareholder meeting was held at which the three Trustees identified below were elected and the selection of KPMG LLP as the independent certified public accountants and auditors of the Fund for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2002 was ratified (Proposal No. 1) as described in the Fund's proxy statement for that meeting.
