See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 6 | OPPENHEIMER CONCENTRATED GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Concentrated Growth Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). As of April 30, 2003, the majority of Class A shares were owned by the Manager. The Fund offers Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. 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). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $2,868,795. 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 ------------------------- 2009 $ 377,639 2010 2,267,119 ------------ Total $ 2,644,758 ============ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $35 and payments of $5 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $34 as of April 30, 2003. 7 | OPPENHEIMER CONCENTRATED GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of 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-dividend date. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classification of Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of the recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for 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. No distributions were paid during the six months ended April 30, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2002. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 no 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A Sold 154 $934 535 $ 4,199 Redeemed (14) (86) (10) (93) ------------------------------------------------------ Net increase 140 $848 525 $4,106 ------------------------------------------------------ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $2,046,968 and $1,923,126, respectively. 8 | OPPENHEIMER CONCENTRATED GROWTH FUND - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Management Fees. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, and 0.66% of net assets over $600 million. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a $19.75 per account fee. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees, up to an annual rate of 0.35% of average net assets of Class A shares. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Manager, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor) acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Class A shares of the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2003, payments under the Class A plan totaled $5,662 prior to the voluntary waiver of all such current period fees by the Manager, all of which were paid by the Distributor to recipients, none of which was paid to an affiliate of the Manager. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Borrowing and Lending Arrangements Bank Borrowings. The Fund has the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes. Asset coverage for borrowings must be at least 300%. The Fund and other Oppenheimer funds participated in a $400 million unsecured line of credit from a bank, for liquidity purposes. Under that line of credit, each fund was charged interest on its borrowings at a rate equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.45%. The Fund paid a commitment fee on its pro rata share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum. The credit facility was terminated on November 12, 2002, when the Fund entered into the interfund borrowing and lending arrangements described below. The Fund had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility through November 12, 2002. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interfund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements. Commencing November 12, 2002, 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 six months ended or at April 30, 2003. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Subsequent Event The Fund will be liquidated in May, 2003. 9 | OPPENHEIMER CONCENTRATED GROWTH FUND ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS - NOT REQUIRED ITEM 3.
