Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks high current income while seeking to maintain a stable value per share. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). Shares of the Fund are offered solely to participant-directed qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans meeting specified criteria (the Plans). Plan participant purchases of Fund shares are handled in accordance with each Plan's specific provisions. Plan participants should contact their Plan administrator for details concerning how they may purchase shares of the Fund. The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of 3.50%, and reduced for larger purchases. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are offered without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a contingent deferred-sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within 5 years or 12 months or 18 months, respectively, of purchase. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are offered without front end and contingent-deferred sales charges. Class Y shares are only available for plans that have special arrangements with OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor). All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges,. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ by minor amounts due to each class having its own expenses directly attributable to that class. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Classes A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date of purchase. The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Valuation. The Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest in Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, Oppenheimer Bond Fund, Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund, and in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "underlying funds"). The net asset values of the underlying funds are determined as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The Fund may invest in certain portfolio securities, as described in the Fund's prospectus. Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is regularly 16 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Such securities which cannot be valued by an approved portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current market value, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on the closing prices of the foreign currency contract rates in the London foreign exchange markets on a daily basis as provided by a reliable bank or dealer. The Fund will, under normal circumstances, enter into wrapper agreements with insurance companies and banks. If an insurance wrap contract or a synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contract, collectively, "wrapper agreement" obligates the contract provider to maintain the book value of all or a portion of the Fund's investments up to a specified maximum dollar amount, such contract will be valued at its fair value. The book value of the covered assets is the price the Fund paid for such securities plus interest on those assets accrued at a rate calculated pursuant to a formula specified in the wrapper agreement ("crediting rate"). The crediting rate is normally reset monthly. However, if there is a material change in interest rates or purchases or redemptions of fund shares, the crediting rate may be reset more frequently. The fair value of the contract generally will be equal to the difference between the book value, and the market value of the Fund's portfolio investments subject to the contract. If the market value of the Fund's portfolio investments is greater than its Book Value, the contract value will be reflected as a liability of the Fund in the amount of the difference, i.e. a negative value. If the market value of the Fund's portfolio investments is less than its Book Value, the contract value will be reflected as an asset of the Fund in the amount of the difference, i.e. a positive value, reflecting the potential liability of the contract provider to the Fund. In performing its fair value determination, the Board of Trustees will take into consideration the creditworthiness of the contract provider and the ability and willingness of the contract provider to pay amounts under the contract. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund has entered into one wrapper agreement, with the Bank of America, NA. Total fees paid for the six months ended April 30, 2003, to Bank of America, NA, for this agreement were $207,659. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 17 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by 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 zero. This estimated capital loss carryforward represents 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $1,738 and payments of $265 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $7,705 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-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 paydown gains and losses and the recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The character 18 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND 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. The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended April 30, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2002 was as follows: Six Months Ended Year Ended April 30, 2003 October 31, 2002 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $3,788,944 $5,081,874 Long-term capital gain -- -- Return of capital -- 1,585,151 ----------------------------- Total $3,788,944 $6,667,025 ============================= - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 of each class. 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 3,008,213 $30,082,141 4,777,641 $ 47,776,413 Dividends and/or distributions reinvested 123,290 1,232,902 315,148 3,151,481 Redeemed (1,353,657) (13,536,576) (2,252,412) (22,524,127) ------------------------------------------------------- Net increase 1,777,846 $17,778,467 2,840,377 $ 28,403,767 ======================================================= 19 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

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 $100,997,059 and $15,926,973, respectively. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Management Fees. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 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, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets over $1 billion. The management fees payable by the Fund are reduced by the management fees paid by the underlying Oppenheimer funds on assets representing investments by the Fund in shares of those underlying funds. That is done so that shareholders of the Fund do not pay direct and indirect management fees in excess of 0.75%. 20 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $22.50 per account fee. Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $5,000 for assets of less than $10 million and $10,000 for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees up to an annual rate of 0.35% of average annual net assets for all classes. 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 different classes of shares of the Fund. The compensation paid to (or retained by) the Distributor from the sale of shares or on the redemption of shares is shown in the table below for the period indicated.

The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A Shares. 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 $106,884, all of which were paid by the Distributor to recipients, and included $3,182 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year 21 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued on Class B shares and on Class C shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. Distribution fees paid to the Distributor for the six months ended April 30, 2003, were as follows: Distributor's Distributor's Aggregate Aggregate Unreimbursed Unreimbursed Expenses as % Total Payments Amount Retained Expenses of Net Assets Under Plan by Distributor Under Plan of Class - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class B Plan $ 33,358 $30,087 $271,701 3.31% Class C Plan 81,101 61,408 270,320 1.36 Class N Plan 185,383 -- 882,340 0.44 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Futures Contracts A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities "interest rate futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income securities. 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. 22 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND 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 U.S. Treasury Nts., 2 yr. 6/26/03 7 $1,511,344 $ 6,047 -------- Contracts to Sell U.S. Treasury Nts., 5 yr. 6/19/03 28 3,185,000 (11,195) -------- $(5,148) ======== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. 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. A Wrapper Agreement is considered to be an illiquid security. The Fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Borrowing and Lending Arrangements Bank Borrowings. The Fund had 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. 23 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Borrowing and Lending Arrangements Continued 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. 24 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS - NOT REQUIRED ITEM 3.
