REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS. FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund's performance during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund's performance to an appropriate broad-based market index. Management's Discussion of Fund Performance. Over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2003, the Fund delivered positive results, posting a 22.22% return for its Class A shares (without sales charge). This compares with a 30.73% total return for the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index, the Fund's benchmark, during the same period. The Fund's performance was driven primarily by the upturn in growth stock prices that began in March 2003 and continued throughout the remainder of the period, representing a major shift from the downward-trending stock market of the previous three years. Throughout the period, the Fund's investment strategy remained focused on companies generating real growth by increasing sales and revenues, rather than those experiencing a temporary rise in earnings from acquisitions, accounting gimmicks or cost-cutting methods. Specifically, we targeted companies producing greater-than-average earnings and revenue growth that we believed were sustainable. This approach enabled us to control some of the risks implicit in growth-oriented stock investing. We also maintained the Fund's disciplined focus on mid-cap stocks. Many mid-cap stocks offer higher growth rates than most large companies, and greater stability and predictability than most small ones. As a result, we believe they offer higher probabilities of success and lower probabilities of failure than other segments of the equities market. In our opinion, these intrinsic characteristics make mid-cap stocks particularly attractive for disciplined growth investors seeking to build wealth over the long term. Early in the period, we found a relatively large number of attractive investment opportunities meeting the Fund's investment criteria in the health care area. Biotechnology holdings, such as Gilead Sciences, Inc., delivered exceptionally strong performance during the period, supported by a rapidly increasing number of approved products with wide applications. The Fund's performance was also boosted by its investments in medical products companies, such as Varian Medical Systems, Inc., and generic drug producers, many of which benefited from significant new drug approvals. As the reporting period progressed, we found increasing numbers of technology stocks exhibiting attractive fundamentals. Accordingly, we gradually shifted a growing percentage of the Fund's assets into such stocks, reducing the Fund's holdings among less attractive health care and financial investments. Although a few technology holdings, such as Concord EFS, Inc., delivered disappointing returns, most of the Fund's technology positions generated strong gains. Top performers included software companies, such as Symantec Corp.; communications services providers, such as UTStarcom, Inc.; and 6 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND semiconductor producers, such as Marvell Technology Group Ltd. The Fund also achieved strong gains with its investments in consumer discretionary stocks, particularly among media companies, such as InterActiveCorp, Univision Communications, Inc. Positive returns from these and other consumer-related holdings more than offset some of the Fund's disappointments. Negative contributors to performance included restaurant fast food chain Wendy's International, Inc., and healthcare software vendor Cerner Corp. Significant underperformers in other areas included SPX Corp. and Alliant Techsystems, Inc. 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 October 31, 2003. In the case of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, performance is measured from the inception of each Class on December 1, 1997. 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, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions. The Fund's performance is compared to that of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. The S&P Mid-Cap 400 is an unmanaged index of 400 domestic stocks chosen for market size liquidity, and industry group representation. 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 shows the effect of taxes. The Fund's performance reflects the effects of Fund business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund's performance, it must be noted that the Fund's investments are not limited to the securities in the index. 7 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A Shares Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: [LINE CHART] Oppenheimer MidCap Fund (Class A) S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index 12/01/1997 $ 9,425 $10,000 01/31/1998 9,519 10,190 04/30/1998 12,271 11,743 07/31/1998 11,744 10,848 10/31/1998 10,207 10,515 01/31/1999 13,390 11,892 04/30/1999 14,636 12,498 07/31/1999 16,382 12,943 10/31/1999 18,760 12,731 01/31/2000 25,875 13,795 04/30/2000 27,564 15,438 07/31/2000 29,716 15,713 10/31/2000 28,697 16,760 01/31/2001 23,903 17,052 04/30/2001 16,901 16,525 07/31/2001 15,618 16,591 10/31/2001 13,608 14,674 01/31/2002 13,910 16,493 04/30/2002 13,419 17,611 07/31/2002 11,201 14,491 10/31/2002 10,786 13,972 01/31/2003 10,182 13,759 04/30/2003 10,871 14,528 07/31/2003 12,617 16,498 10/31/2003 13,183 18,249 Average Annual Total Returns of Class A Shares of the Fund at 10/31/03* 1-Year 15.19% 5-Year 4.01% Since Inception 4.78% Class B Shares Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: [LINE CHART] Oppenheimer MidCap Fund (Class B) S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index 12/01/1997 $10,000 $10,000 01/31/1998 10,080 10,190 04/30/1998 12,980 11,743 07/31/1998 12,390 10,848 10/31/1998 10,770 10,515 01/31/1999 14,097 11,892 04/30/1999 15,379 12,498 07/31/1999 17,181 12,943 10/31/1999 19,644 12,731 01/31/2000 27,043 13,795 04/30/2000 28,766 15,438 07/31/2000 30,948 15,713 10/31/2000 29,827 16,760 01/31/2001 24,801 17,052 04/30/2001 17,502 16,525 07/31/2001 16,150 16,591 10/31/2001 14,037 14,674 01/31/2002 14,318 16,493 04/30/2002 13,787 17,611 07/31/2002 11,494 14,491 10/31/2002 11,034 13,972 01/31/2003 10,393 13,759 04/30/2003 11,084 14,528 07/31/2003 12,846 16,498 10/31/2003 13,287 18,249 Average Annual Total Returns of Class B Shares of the Fund at 10/31/03* 1-Year 16.33% 5-Year 4.11% Since Inception 4.92% * See Notes on page 11 for further details. 8 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND Class C Shares Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: [LINE CHART] Oppenheimer MidCap Fund (Class C) S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index 12/01/1997 $10,000 $10,000 01/31/1998 10,090 10,190 04/30/1998 12,980 11,743 07/31/1998 12,400 10,848 10/31/1998 10,760 10,515 01/31/1999 14,087 11,892 04/30/1999 15,369 12,498 07/31/1999 17,171 12,943 10/31/1999 19,624 12,731 01/31/2000 27,023 13,795 04/30/2000 28,746 15,438 07/31/2000 30,938 15,713 10/31/2000 29,817 16,760 01/31/2001 24,791 17,052 04/30/2001 17,492 16,525 07/31/2001 16,140 16,591 10/31/2001 14,037 14,674 01/31/2002 14,318 16,493 04/30/2002 13,787 17,611 07/31/2002 11,484 14,491 10/31/2002 11,034 13,972 01/31/2003 10,393 13,759 04/30/2003 11,084 14,528 07/31/2003 12,846 16,498 10/31/2003 13,387 18,249 Average Annual Total Returns of Class C Shares of the Fund at 10/31/03* 1-Year 20.33% 5-Year 4.47% Since Inception 5.05% Class N Shares Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: Oppenheimer MidCap Fund (Class N) S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index 03/01/2001 $10,000 $10,000 04/30/2001 9,161 10,278 07/31/2001 8,465 10,319 10/31/2001 7,370 9,126 01/31/2002 7,528 10,258 04/30/2002 7,257 10,953 07/31/2002 6,054 9,013 10/31/2002 5,824 8,690 01/31/2003 5,496 8,557 04/30/2003 5,865 9,036 07/31/2003 6,801 10,261 10/31/2003 7,098 11,350 Average Annual Total Returns of Class N Shares of the Fund at 10/31/03* 1-Year 20.88% Since Inception -12.06% The performance information for the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index in the graphs begins on 11/30/97 for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y, and on 2/28/01 for Class N shares.

Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer MidCap 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 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). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund's accounting records 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. 23 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued 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. 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 securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

As of October 31, 2003, the Fund had $1,218,890,585 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of October 31, 2003, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows: Expiring ----------------------- 2006 $ 2,792,572 2007 3,516,822 2008 142,020,390 2009 765,032,406 2010 237,892,098 2011 67,636,297 --------------- Total $1,218,890,585* =============== *Includes $41,420 from capital loss carryforward acquired in the September 4, 2003 merger with Oppenheimer Select Managers Gartmore Millennium Growth Fund II. 2. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards. 24 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for October 31, 2003. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications. From To (From) Net Ordinary Capital Tax Return Investment Loss Gain (Loss) of Capital Loss ---------------------------------------------------- $10,616,094 $-- $-- $10,616,094 No distributions were paid during the years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002. The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2003 are noted below. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss. Federal tax cost of securities and other investments $731,879,467 ============ Gross unrealized appreciation $209,203,512 Gross unrealized depreciation (44,898,950) ------------ Net unrealized appreciation $164,304,562 ============ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 October 31, 2003, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $2,296 and payments of $3,871 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $146,496 as of October 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 Oppenheimer funds 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. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the Plan. 25 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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. 29 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

Illiquid or Restricted Securities As of October 31, 2003, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are 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 15% 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 October 31, 2003 was $553,730, which represents 0.06% of the Fund's net assets, all of which are considered restricted.

The net assets acquired included net unrealized appreciation of $858,837 and an unused capital loss carryforward of $1,913,251, potential utilization subject to tax limitations. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. 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 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 year ended or at October 31, 2003. 31 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund, including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 1999 were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 19, 1999, expresses an unqualified opinion on this information. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund as of October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. KPMG LLP Denver, Colorado November 21, 2003 32 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In early 2004, if applicable, shareholders of record will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2003. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service. A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. $1,371,241 of the Fund's fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2004, shareholders of record will receive information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates. The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service.

CODE OF ETHICS ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT The Board of Trustees of the Fund has determined that the Fund does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. In this regard, no member of the Audit Committee was identified as having all of the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) to Item 3 of Form N-CSR to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," whether through the type of specialized education or experience described in that Instruction. The Board has concluded that while the members of the Audit Committee collectively have the necessary attributes and experience required to serve effectively as an Audit Committee, no single member possesses all of the required technical attributes through the particular methods of education or experience set forth in the Instructions to be designated as an audit committee financial expert.
