4. Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.
5. Non-income producing security.
6. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted. See Note 11 of
Notes to Financial Statements.
7. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have
been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees. These securities amount to $13,885,130 or 5.10% of the Fund's net
assets as of October 31, 2003.
8. Issuer is in default. See Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.
9. Interest or dividend is paid-in-kind.
10. Units may be comprised of several components, such as debt and equity and/or
warrants to purchase equity at some point in the future. For units, which
represent debt securities, principal amount disclosed represents total
underlying principal.
11. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate
security.
12. Denotes a step bond: a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable
interest rate at a designated future date.

payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically
decline in price as interest rates decline. 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 $475,697 or 0.17% of the Fund's net assets as
of October 31, 2003.

value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. 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. 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).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, increasing 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
October 31, 2003, the market value of these securities comprised 4.6% of the
Fund's net assets and resulted in unrealized gains of $141,885. 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
36 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value to
the extent the Fund executes such purchases while remaining substantially fully
invested. As of October 31, 2003, the Fund had entered into when-issued purchase
commitments of $31,601,499.
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 Fund records the
incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward
roll as realized gain (loss) on investments.
Risks 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, market fluctuations and 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 October 31, 2003, securities with an
aggregate market value of $4,629,143, representing 1.70% of the Fund's net
assets, were in default.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
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.

1. As of October 31, 2003, the Fund had $36,758,159 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:

Total $36,758,159
===========
2. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002, the Fund
did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards. During the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2003, $7,982,990 of unused capital loss carryforwards expired.
3. The Fund had $41,112 of straddle losses which were deferred.
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.

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.

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 decreased by $2,998 and
payments of $12,682 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated
liability of $51,545 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 distributions, if any, are declared
daily and paid monthly. 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
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 $.01 par value shares of
beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, plus out-of-pocket costs
and expenses.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 to settle specific purchases or sales of securities
denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate
fluctuation. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the
counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
40 | OPPENHEIMER MULTI-SECTOR INCOME TRUST
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 prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.
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 transaction. Contracts closed or settled with the same broker are
recorded as net realized gain or loss. Such realized gains and losses are
reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of
Operations.
As of October 31, 2003, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as

6. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future
date. 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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Futures Contracts Continued
futures" in order to gain exposure to or protection from 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 as a 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 has expired.
Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
contracts is noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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. The net change in
unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the Statement of
Operations.
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 October 31, 2003, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

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 year ended October 31, 2003 was as follows:

8. Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into an interest rate swap transaction 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 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 notional. 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 October 31, 2003, the Fund had entered into the following interest rate
swap agreements:

9. Credit Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into a credit swap transaction 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). The Fund pays an annual interest
fee on the notional amount in exchange for the counterparty paying in a

1. Comprised of emerging markets credit swaps of which the underlying is
comprised of a pool of emerging market entities and associated benchmark
obligations. The Fund received a premium and is obligated to pay a rate that
resets every six months primarily based upon default by an emerging market
entity within the pool.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Swaption Transactions
The Fund may enter into a swaption transaction, whereby a contract that grants
the holder, in return for payment of the purchase price (the "premium") of the
option, the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap
at a preset rate within a specified period of time, with the writer of the
contract. The writer receives premiums and bears the risk of unfavorable changes
in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap. Swaption contracts
written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as they
obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. Swaptions written are
reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of October 31, 2003, the Fund had entered into the following swaption
contracts:

11. Illiquid Securities
As of October 31, 2003, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid. A security may 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 securities. The
aggregate value of illiquid securities subject to this limitation as of October
31, 2003 was $15,250,041, which represents 5.60% of the Fund's net assets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. In return, the Fund receives collateral in the form of US
Treasury obligations or cash, against the loaned securities and maintains
collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned
securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business
day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and
cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral.
Cash collateral in invested in cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2003, the
Fund had on loan securities valued at $22,413,399. Cash of $22,768,407 was
received as collateral for the loans, and has been invested in approved
instruments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. 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.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust, 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 five 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.
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
and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from
brokers were not received. 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 Multi-Sector Income Trust 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
