Zack, Esq. OppenheimerFunds, Inc. 498 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10018 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name and address of agent for service) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (303) 768-3200 -------------- Date of fiscal year end: July 31 Date of reporting period: August 1, 2002 - July 31, 2003 ITEM 1. REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS. FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION of 2002. As a result of these disappointments, the Fund's technology holdings delivered weaker total returns than the technology component of the S&P 500/BARRA Growth Index. Relatively weak performance among utilities holdings, especially Verizon Communications, Inc., which fell roughly 6% after it was purchased in the reporting period, also hurt the Fund's performance compared to its benchmark. While the Fund's disciplined investment approach remained essentially unchanged, we continued to refine our library of stock ranking models with the intent of enhancing the effectiveness of our approach during the period. The Fund's portfolio holdings, allocations and strategies are subject to change. 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 July 31, 2003. In the case of Class A and Y shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on December 17, 1998. In the case of Class B and C shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on March 1, 1999. In the case of Class N shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on March 1, 2001. The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge for Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 BARRA/Growth Index, a capitalization-weighted index comprised of stocks of the S&P 500 Index with higher book-to-price ratios relative to the S&P 500 Index as a whole. Each company of the S&P 500 Index is assigned to either the Barra/Value or Barra/Growth index so that the sum of the two indices reflects the total S&P 500 Index. 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 may not be limited to those investments found in an index. 6 | OPPENHEIMER TRINITY LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND Class A Shares Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: Oppenheimer Trinity Large Cap Growth Fund (Class A) S&P 500 BARRA/Growth Index [LINE CHART] Value of Investment S & P 500 Date In Fund Barra Growth Index 12/17/1998 9,425 10,000 01/31/1999 10,650 10,611 04/30/1999 10,405 10,667 07/31/1999 11,244 10,747 10/31/1999 11,564 11,451 01/31/2000 12,640 11,970 04/30/2000 14,054 12,691 07/31/2000 13,901 12,570 10/31/2000 12,612 11,688 01/31/2001 10,801 10,278 04/30/2001 9,300 8,991 07/31/2001 8,814 8,866 10/31/2001 7,573 7,999 01/31/2002 8,245 8,707 04/30/2002 7,707 8,032 07/31/2002 6,662 6,897 10/31/2002 6,642 6,797 01/31/2003 6,342 6,497 04/30/2003 6,807 7,051 07/31/2003 7,180 7,510 Average Annual Total Returns of Class A Shares of the Fund at 7/31/03* 1-Year 1.57% Since Inception -6.92% Class B Shares Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: Oppenheimer Trinity Large Cap Growth Fund (Class B) S&P 500 BARRA/Growth Index [LINE CHART] Value of Investment S & P 500 Date In Fund Barra Growth Index 03/01/1999 10,000 10,000 04/30/1999 10,525 10,464 07/31/1999 11,345 10,542 10/31/1999 11,641 11,233 01/31/2000 12,702 11,742 04/30/2000 14,095 12,449 07/31/2000 13,920 12,330 10/31/2000 12,595 11,465 01/31/2001 10,771 10,082 04/30/2001 9,250 8,819 07/31/2001 8,747 8,697 10/31/2001 7,499 7,847 01/31/2002 8,159 8,541 04/30/2002 7,614 7,879 07/31/2002 6,565 6,766 10/31/2002 6,534 6,667 01/31/2003 6,219 6,373 04/30/2003 6,670 6,917 07/31/2003 6,889 7,367 Average Annual Total Returns of Class B Shares of the Fund at 7/31/03* 1-Year 1.87% Since Inception -8.09% *See Notes on page 10 for further details.

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 the original cost. Because of ongoing market volatility, the Fund's performance may be subject to substantial fluctuations, and current performance may be more or less than the results shown. For updates on the Fund's performance, visit our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 21 | OPPENHEIMER TRINITY LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Trinity Large Cap Growth Fund (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 capital appreciation. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Trinity Investment Management Corporation, a related party to theManager. The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. 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. 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 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. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price provided 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 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 using 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. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts on a daily basis. Secured by U.S. government securities, these balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements. 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. 22 | OPPENHEIMER TRINITY LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND 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 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 tax components of capital shown in the table below 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 investment for federal income tax purposes. Net Unrealized Undistributed Depreciation Based Net Undistributed Accumulated on Cost of Securities Investment Long-Term Loss for Federal Income Income Gain Carryforward 1,2,3 Tax Purposes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $-- $-- $16,007,591 $1,315,914 1. As of July 31, 2003, the Fund had $13,336,905 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of July 31, 2003, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows: Expiring ----------------------- 2009 $ 2,814,048* 2010 7,389,585 2011 3,133,272 ----------- Total $13,336,905 =========== *$612,369 of the capital loss carryforward was acquired in connection with the Oppenheimer Trinity Growth Fund merger. 2. During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2002, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards. 3. As of July 31, 2003, the Fund had $2,670,685 of post-October losses available to offset future capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2012. 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. 23 | OPPENHEIMER TRINITY LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for July 31, 2003. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications. From To (From) Net Ordinary Capital Gain Tax Return Investment Loss (Loss) of Capital Loss ----------------------------------------------------------------------- $250,038 $-- $-- $198,805 No distributions were paid during the years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2002. The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes as of July 31, 2003 are noted below. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss. Federal Tax Cost $40,295,878 =========== Gross unrealized appreciation $ 1,808,685 Gross unrealized depreciation (3,124,599) ----------- Net unrealized depreciation $(1,315,914) =========== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 year ended July 31, 2003, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $738 and payments of $147 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $4,684 as of July 31, 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, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or are invested in other selected Oppenheimer funds. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the Plan. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 24 | OPPENHEIMER TRINITY LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expense Offset Arrangement. The reduction of custodian fees represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class.

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.
