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 AUGUST 31, 2006, FOLLOWED BY
A GRAPHICAL COMPARISON OF THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE TO AN APPROPRIATE BROAD-BASED
MARKET INDEX.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE. For the 12-month period ended
August 31, 2006, Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III's Class A
shares (without sales charge) had a total return of 3.48%, which was below the
S&P 500 Index's total return of 8.87%. During periods of rising stock markets,
principal protected funds tend to lag behind pure stock market indices, because
they typically have less than 100% of their net assets invested in the equity
markets. The Fund's main goal is not to chase absolute returns, but to preserve
investor's capital, while staying competitive with its peers.
The equity component of the Fund's portfolio is invested in Class Y shares
of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund and in S&P 500 Index Futures. The use of S&P 500
Index Futures as an alternative equity instrument allows the Fund to maintain
liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions, reduce trading costs, and take
advantage of possible imbalances in stock market fair value. The fixed income
component is invested primarily in Treasury STRIPS that mature on or around the
end of the seven-year Warranty Period. 5 The asset allocation of the Oppenheimer
Principal Protected Main Street Fund III will shift over time based on market
factors such as interest rates, stock market performance and certain volatility
measures. Additionally, there is a predefined algorithm that dictates the
maximum percentage the Fund can invest in equity securities. This algorithm is
based in part on current stock weightings and changes in the market environment
(including interest rates, stock market performance and volatility).
OppenheimerFunds' risk management team monitors the Fund's asset allocation
and keeps the Fund's equity percentage dynamically set, depending on market
conditions. In an up stock market, the Fund buys shares of the Oppenheimer Main
Street Fund to take advantage of stock market potential. While in a down market,
the Fund sells shares of the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund and buys Treasury
STRIPS to help limit the downside of the market. In the sideways market, the
algorithm allows the Fund "to stay still" in order to avoid unnecessary trading
costs. The Fund began the Warranty Period with approximately
OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR
INVESTORS WHO NEED TO REDEEM SHARES PRIOR TO MATURITY, OR WHO NEED TO RECEIVE
DIVIDENDS IN CASH.
5. The Fund invests a significant portion of assets in Treasury STRIPS, which
are sold at a discount and accrue to par value at maturity. For taxable income
purposes the discount on these treasury strips is amortized into income daily
using a level yield method over the holding period of the security, thus
investors will have taxable income.
12 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
47% of the total market value of investments allocated to the fixed-income
component, 42% to the equity component and 11% to cash. 6 However, as of August
31, 2006, 54% of the Fund's total market value of investments was allocated to
the equity component, 26% to the fixed-income component, and 20% to cash and
cash equivalents. The majority of the Fund's cash equivalent holdings at period
end represent the cash used to back S&P 500 Index futures. The Fund lends its
portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. A
portion of the Fund's cash equivalent holdings at period end represent the
investment of collateral it has received for securities currently on loan.
For the year ending August 31, 2006, the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund Class
Y shares produced a total return of 9.63%, which was higher than the return of
its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 8.87%. Management of the
underlying fund, the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, attributes this performance
to its security selection strategy, which produced especially attractive
relative performance in the consumer staples, health care, financials and
industrial sectors. In addition, the management team's sector allocation
strategy helped boost returns among energy stocks.
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund's risk management disciplines continued to
work well. For example, as of the end of the reporting period, Oppenheimer Main
Street Fund was diversified across approximately 426 individual stocks
representing all of the economic sectors in the S&P 500 Index. No stock held by
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund is overweighted by more than 0.52% or underweighted
by more than 0.78% relative to the S&P 500 Index benchmark. As a result, the
performance of the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund is not dependent on making
large, risky bets on individual stocks but on the effectiveness of its
disciplined quantitative models and its active market cap allocation strategies.
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 August 31, 2006. Performance is measured from inception of the
classes on October 7, 2004. 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,
6. Allocating assets to debt securities reduces the Fund's ability to
participate fully in upward movements of the equity markets. This represents
some loss of opportunity, or opportunity cost, compared to a portfolio that is
substantially invested in equities. The Fund may allocate a substantial portion,
and under certain conditions, all of its assets, to U.S. Government securities
in order to attempt to keep the value of the Fund's assets at a level equal to
or above the value of the Warranty Amount. In the event of reallocation of 100%
of the Fund's assets to U.S. Government securities, the Fund might not be
permitted to allocate its assets to equity securities for the remainder of the
Warranty Period.

Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains
distributions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities. Index performance
reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of
transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs shows the effect of taxes.
The Fund's performance reflects the effects of the Fund's 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 investments in the index.

NOTES

Total returns and the ending account values in the graphs include changes in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a
hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund's total returns shown do
not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual's investment. Taxes
may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or
any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.
INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, AND OTHER
CHARGES AND EXPENSES CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS CONTAINS
THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND, AND MAY BE OBTAINED BY ASKING YOUR
FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CALLING US AT 1.800.525.7048 OR VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT
WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM. READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.
The Fund's investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of
specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds,
Inc.
The Fund has entered into a warranty agreement with Merrill Lynch Bank USA, "the
warranty provider" to make sure that the value of each shareholder's account on
the maturity date (December 16, 2011) will be at least equal to a shareholder's
original investment (reduced by any adjustments to the warranty amount permitted
by the Warranty Agreement, and less any redemptions of Fund shares or
distributions taken in cash, sales charges, and extraordinary Fund expenses).
The Warranty is solely the obligation of the Warranty provider to the Fund, not
the shareholders. The Warranty is dependent on the financial ability of the
Warranty provider to pay. The Warranty Amount will be reduced by any redemptions
of Fund shares or distributions taken in cash, sales charges and extraordinary
fund expenses. Distributions from the Fund are taxable whether or not
shareholders reinvest them in additional shares of the Fund. The Warranty does
not apply to shares redeemed during the Warranty Period, and you can lose money
on shares you redeem early. Neither the Fund nor OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is
obligated to replace the Warranty provider should it be unable to make payments
necessary to support the Warranty Amount. The Financial Warranty increases the
Fund's expenses that shareholders pay and could lower Fund performance.
Shareholders must redeem their shares in the Fund on, and only on, the
19 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maturity Date (expected to be December 16, 2011) to receive the greater of the
then-current net asset value of the Fund or their Warranty Amount. Prior to the
Maturity Date the Fund will provide each shareholder a notice to remind them
that shares must be redeemed on the Maturity Date to receive the full benefit of
the Financial Warranty. After the Maturity Date, shares of the Fund will not be
covered under the terms of the Financial Warranty and will be subject to market
fluctuations and the shares will then be redeemable at the Fund's then-current
net asset value, which may be lower than the Warranty Amount.
Shares may be exchanged or redeemed at any time. However, if you redeem shares
prior to the end of the seven-year Warranty Period you will receive the
then-current NAV per share, which may be higher or lower than the Warranty
Amount. To receive at least the full Warranty Amount, you must maintain your
original investment in the Fund until the end of the seven-year term and
reinvest all dividends and distributions.
During the Warranty Period, there are substantial opportunity costs. Allocating
assets to U.S. Government securities reduces the Fund's ability to participate
fully in upward equity market movements. Therefore, it represents some loss of
opportunity, or opportunity cost, compared to a portfolio that is fully invested
in equities. In the event that the Fund's stock allocation declines
substantially, generally due to heavy stock market declines, then the Fund will
permanently shift all investments to fixed income securities and certain of the
Fund's expenses will be reduced. In the event of reallocation of 100% of the
Fund's assets to U.S. Government securities, the Fund will not be permitted to
allocate its assets to equity securities for the remainder of the Warranty
Period, which will eliminate the Fund's ability to participate in any upward
equity market movement.
While these fixed income securities (primarily U.S. Government securities) that
the Fund invests in don't pay income the traditional way, an income calculation
is made for tax purposes based on the purchase price and the time until the
security reaches par value. Like traditional interest payments, this amount is
reported as income for tax purposes. The zero coupon bonds the Fund invests in
do not pay interest income until maturity. However, the Fund is required to
accrue and declare a dividend on such phantom income. Thus, you will have
taxable income.
20 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
Distributions from the Fund are taxable whether or not you reinvest them in
additional shares of the Fund. The Fund is not obligated to replace the Warranty
Provider should it be unable to make the payments necessary to support the
Warranty Amount. The Financial Warranty increases the Fund's expenses that you
pay and therefore the Fund's expenses will generally be higher than a fund that
does not offer a Warranty.
All investments have risks to some degree. Stocks and S&P 500 Index Futures
fluctuate in price and their volatility at times may be great. If the issuer of
an S&P 500 Index Future does not pay the amount due, the Fund can lose money on
the investment. While principal and interest payments on U.S. Treasury
securities are guaranteed by the U.S. Government, the price of such securities
will fluctuate with changes in prevailing interest rates. Zero-coupon U.S.
Government securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from interest
rate changes than typical debt securities that pay interest on a regular basis.
The Fund offered its shares to the public from October 7, 2004 through December
10, 2004. From December 16, 2004, and until December 16, 2011, shares of the
Fund will only be issued upon reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund's Statement of
Additional Information.
21 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
FUND EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND EXPENSES. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments,
contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees, if any;
and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees;
and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs
with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning
of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended August 31, 2006.
ACTUAL EXPENSES. The "actual" lines of the table provide information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this
line for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to
estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account
value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00
= 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the "actual" line under the
heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid
on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. The "hypothetical" lines of the
table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical
expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio for each class of shares,
and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the
Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be
used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the
period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing
in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for
the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in
the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end
or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually
on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in
22 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the "hypothetical" lines of
the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you
determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if
these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III (the Fund), a series of
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust III, is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
During the Warranty Period, the Fund will seek capital preservation in order to
have a net asset value on the Maturity Date at least equal to the Warranty
Amount. The Fund seeks high total return as a secondary objective. The Fund's
investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
Shares of the Fund were offered during the Offering Period (October 7, 2004
to December 10, 2004). Shares are not offered during the Warranty Period
(December 16, 2004 to December 16, 2011) to the Maturity Date (December 16,
2011) except in connection with reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
During the Warranty Period, the Fund will allocate its assets between
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the Underlying Fund) and certain U.S. government
securities. The Fund offered Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Class
A shares were sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value
plus a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares were sold without a
front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
(CDSC). Class N shares were sold only through retirement plans. All classes of
shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in
general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone.
Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class
having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees
and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B,
C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares 90 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARRANTY AGREEMENT. The Fund has entered into a Financial Warranty Agreement
with Merrill Lynch Bank USA ("the Warranty Provider") to ensure that on the
Maturity Date each shareholder's account will be no less than the value of that
shareholder's account on the second business day after the end of the Offering
Period (the Warranty Amount). This value will include net income, if any, earned
by the Fund during the offering period and be reduced by adjustments permitted
under the Warranty Agreement, sales charges, applicable share of extraordinary
expenses and proportionately reduced for dividends and distributions paid in
cash and redemptions of Fund shares. To avoid a reduced Warranty Amount,
shareholders must reinvest all dividends and distributions received from the
Fund to purchase additional shares of the Fund and must not redeem any shares of
the Fund during the Warranty Period. If the value of the Fund's assets on the
Maturity Date is insufficient to result in the value of each shareholder's
account being at least equal to the shareholder's Warranty Amount, the Warranty
Provider will pay the Fund an amount equal to the excess of his or her Warranty
Amount over his or her account value.
The Financial Warranty is solely the obligation of the Warranty Provider.
It is possible that the financial position of the Warranty Provider may
deteriorate and it would be

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
unable to satisfy its obligations under the Financial Warranty. The Fund's
assets and the obligations of the Warranty Provider under the Warranty Agreement
are not guaranteed by Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (the Warranty Provider's parent
company), the United States Government, the Manager, or any other entity or
person.
The Warranty Agreement requires the Manager, on behalf of the Fund, to
comply with certain agreed upon investment parameters in an attempt to limit the
Fund's risk. If the Manager fails to comply with the agreed-upon investment
parameters or otherwise fails to comply with certain requirements set forth in
the Warranty Agreement, the Warranty Provider may terminate its Financial
Warranty in certain limited circumstances. The Warranty Provider may monitor the
Fund's compliance with the Warranty Agreement solely to protect the interests of
the Warranty Provider and not the Fund's shareholders. The fee paid to the
Warranty Provider is an annual fee of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of
the Fund. If the Fund is required to make a complete and irreversible allocation
of its assets to the debt portfolio, the Warranty Fee will thereafter be reduced
to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES VALUATION. The allocation of the Fund's assets between the debt
portfolio and the equity portfolio will vary over time based upon the Warranty
Formula. The formula is intended to allow the Fund to have a net asset value on
the Maturity Date at least equal to the Warranty Amount.
During the Warranty Period, the Fund will invest a portion of its assets,
and in certain circumstances, the Fund may invest all of its assets, in U.S.
government securities having maturities approximately equal to the period
remaining in the Warranty Period. Long term debt securities having a remaining
maturity in excess of sixty days will be valued at the mean between the "bid"
and "asked" prices. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt securities
are valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by 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).
The Fund invests the equity portfolio in Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Main
Street Fund (the Underlying Fund). The net asset value of the Underlying Fund is
determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"),
normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business.
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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
36 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
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.

1. As of August 31, 2006, the Fund had $909,112 of net capital loss
carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and
thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of August 31, 2006, details
of the capital loss carryforward were as follows:

2. As of August 31, 2006, the Fund had $455,536 of post-October losses available
to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized,
will expire in 2015.
3. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, the Fund did not utilize any
capital loss carryforward.
4. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, the Fund did not utilize any
capital loss carryforward.
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.

unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for

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 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. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the
Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds
selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for
deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment,
resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such
assets are included as a component of "Other" within the asset section of the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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
38 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which
includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as
earned.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTODIAN FEES. "Custodian fees and expenses" in the Statement of Operations may
include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its
custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the
effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows
resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays
interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not
offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The "Reduction to custodian expenses" line item,
if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund
during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid
with these earnings.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDEMNIFICATIONS. The Fund's organizational documents provide current and former
trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising
in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal
course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general
indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the
Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles 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.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other
than short-term obligations, for the year ended August 31, 2006, were as
follows:
PURCHASES SALES
----------------------------------------------------------
Investment securities $24,642,651 $26,525,129
U.S. government and government
agency obligations 63,802,437 83,270,153
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the
investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an
annual rate of 0.50% of the average annual net assets of the Fund. That fee will
apply during the Warranty Period and the Post-Warranty Period. The management
fee shall be reduced to 0.40% per annum of average annual net assets of the Fund
in any month during the Warranty Period following a month where the Fund's
investment in equity securities (including shares of the Underlying Fund) is, on
average, less than 10% of net assets. If during the Warranty Period 100% of the
Fund's assets are completely and irreversibly invested in the debt portfolio,
the management fee will be at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average annual net
assets of the
40 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
Fund, and if that occurs the Manager will further reduce its management fee to
the extent necessary so that expenses after waivers and reductions to the Fund
(other than Extraordinary Expenses such as litigation costs) do not exceed 1.30%
for Class A shares, 2.05% for Class B shares, 2.05% for Class C shares and 1.55%
for Class N shares. However, if this reduction in the management fee is not
sufficient to reduce expenses after waivers and reductions to these limits, the
Manager is not required to subsidize Fund expenses to assure that expenses do
not exceed those limits. Furthermore, if expenses exceed these expense limits,
the Warranty Amount will be reduced by any expenses that exceed those limits.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINISTRATION SERVICE FEES. The Fund pays the Manager a fee of $1,500 per year
for preparing and filing the Fund's tax returns.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 per account fee. For the year ended August 31, 2006, the Fund paid $55,362
to OFS for services to the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFERING AND ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS. The Manager paid all offering and
organizational costs associated with the registration and seeding of the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12b-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's
Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor)
acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of
the Fund's classes of shares.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for
services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made
periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets
of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees
to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for
providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with
respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent
periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plan are detailed in the Statement
of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the
distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and
Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a
service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or
Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the
Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the
Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of
the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior
to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor's aggregate
uncompensated expenses under the plan at August 31, 2006 for Class B, Class C
and Class N shares were $536,584,

SALES CHARGES. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the
proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds
prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on
the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period
indicated.

WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. The Manager will reimburse the Fund for
expenses equal to the Underlying Fund expenses paid by the Fund as a shareholder
of the Underlying Fund. That expense reimbursement will fluctuate as the Fund's
allocation between the Underlying Fund and the debt portfolio changes. During
the year ended August 31, 2006, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $204,565 for
such Underlying Fund expenses.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing
agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. 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 futures) in order to gain
exposure to or protection from changes in market value of stocks 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 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
42 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
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 in the Statement of Operations at the closing and expiration of futures
contracts. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is
reported in 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 August 31, 2006, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

Standard & Poor's 500 Index 9/14/06 33 $10,771,200 $193,577
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. 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
securities, letters of credit 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 each day. If the Fund is
undercollateralized at the close of business due to an increase in market value
of securities on loan, additional collateral is requested from the borrowing
counterparty and is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash
collateral may be invested in approved investments and the Fund bears the risk
of any loss in value of these investments. The Fund retains a portion of the
interest earned from the collateral. 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. The Fund continues to receive the economic
benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a
substitute payment received from the borrower. As of August 31, 2006, the Fund
had on loan securities valued at $2,330,850, which are included in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities as "Investments, at value" and, when applicable, as
"Investments sold." Collateral of $2,340,600 was received for the loans, all of
which was received in cash and subsequently invested in approved investments or
held as cash.

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES.
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions
taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" that tax positions taken in the Fund's tax return will
be ultimately sustained. A tax liability and expense must be recorded in respect
of any tax position that, in Management's judgment, will not be fully realized.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As of
August 31, 2006, the Manager is evaluating the implications of FIN 48. Its
impact in the Fund's financial statements has not yet been determined.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. LITIGATION
A consolidated amended complaint was filed as a putative class action against
the Manager and the Transfer Agent and other defendants (including 51 of the
Oppenheimer funds excluding the Fund) in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and was amended on March 4,
2005. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Manager charged
excessive fees for distribution and other costs, and that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the
funds breached their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The plaintiffs sought unspecified
damages, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and
litigation expenses.
In response to the defendants' motions to dismiss the suit, seven of the
eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of the
Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former
Directors, Trustees and Officers of the funds, and the Distributor, as
defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006,
and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was dismissed
with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. The plaintiffs filed an
appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006.
The Manager believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are
without merit and that there are substantial grounds to sustain the district
court's rulings. The Manager also believes that it is premature to render any
opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it, the funds, the
Directors/Trustees or the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the
district court, and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of
certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III, a series of Oppenheimer
Principal Protected Trust III, including the statement of investments, as of
August 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and the
period from October 7, 2004 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2005, and
the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.
The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation
of securities owned as of August 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In early 2007, if applicable, shareholders of record will receive information
regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during
calendar year 2006. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund
to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended August 31,
2006 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied
by 62.83% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received
deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2006 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.
$210,305 of the Fund's fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower
individual income tax rates. In early 2007, shareholders of record will receive
information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for
lower individual income tax rates.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate
distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest
related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt
from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal
year ended August 31, 2006, $549,680 or 50.67% of the ordinary distributions
paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting
distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of
the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax
return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend
that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Main
Street Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective
is to seek a high total return. 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, however, the institutional investor
may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical
rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive
voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and
net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses,
such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder
communications, directly attributable to that class. Class 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. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as
of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M.
Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities may be
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Directors. Securities listed or traded on National
Stock Exchanges or other domestic 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(R) are valued based on the
closing price provided by NASDAQ(R) 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 traded on
foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal
exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing
service, prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of
a sale, the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal
exchange. Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a
remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities
will be valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. Futures
contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the
final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as
reported by such principal exchange at its
76 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund's
assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Foreign and
domestic securities whose values have been materially affected by what the
Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are
valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued.
Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures
under the supervision of the Board of Directors. 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. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and
amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign
investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New
York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each
day the Exchange is open for business. Foreign exchange rates may be valued
primarily using dealer supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Directors.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of
foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the
values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal
period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
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. 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.

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 August 31, 2006. Net assets of the
Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

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 August 31, 2006 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION. The Board of Directors has adopted a deferred
compensation plan for independent directors that enables directors to elect to
defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled
to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the
Director under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds
selected by the Director. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for
deferral by the Director in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment,
resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such
assets are included as a component of "Other" within the asset section of the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors' 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTODIAN FEES. "Custodian fees and expenses" in the Statement of Operations may
include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its
custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the
effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows
resulting from unanticipated

shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such
cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances
maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%.
The "Reduction to custodian expenses" line item, if applicable, represents
earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such
interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDEMNIFICATIONS. The Fund's organizational documents provide current and former
trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising
in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal
course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general
indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the
Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles 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 CAPITAL STOCK

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Continued
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per
annum 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12b-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's
Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor)
acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of
the Fund's classes of shares.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for
services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made
periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets
of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees
to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for
providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with
respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent
periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plan are detailed in the Statement
of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the
distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and
Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a
service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or
Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the
Board of Directors and its independent directors must determine whether the
Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of
the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior
to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor's aggregate
uncompensated expenses under the plan at August 31, 2006 for Class B, Class C
and Class N shares were $25,080,059, $33,510,768 and $3,136,495, respectively.
Fees incurred by the Fund under the plans are detailed in the Statement of
Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SALES CHARGES. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the
proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds
prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on
the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period
indicated.

WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit
transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of
average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or
withdrawn at any time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 gains or losses. Such realized gains and losses are
reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of
Operations.
As of August 31, 2006, the Fund had no outstanding foreign currency
contracts.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ILLIQUID SECURITIES
As of August 31, 2006, 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 will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of
purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are
illiquid are marked with the applicable footnote on the Statement of
Investments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. 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
securities, letters of credit 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

7. SECURITIES LENDING Continued
of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business each day. If the
Fund is undercollateralized at the close of business due to an increase in
market value of securities on loan, additional collateral is requested from the
borrowing counterparty and is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.
Cash collateral may be invested in approved investments and the Fund bears the
risk of any loss in value of these investments. The Fund retains a portion of
the interest earned from the collateral. 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. The Fund continues to receive the
economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the
form of a substitute payment received from the borrower. As of August 31, 2006,
the Fund had on loan securities valued at $35,274,309, which are included in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "Investments, at value" and, when
applicable, as "Investments sold." Collateral of $35,159,669 was received for
the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently invested in
approved investments or held as cash.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES.
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions
taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" that tax positions taken in the Fund's tax return will
be ultimately sustained. A tax liability and expense must be recorded in respect
of any tax position that, in Management's judgment, will not be fully realized.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As of
August 31, 2006, the Manager is evaluating the implications of FIN 48. Its
impact in the Fund's financial statements has not yet been determined.

9. LITIGATION
A consolidated amended complaint was filed as a putative class action against
the Manager and the Transfer Agent and other defendants (including 51 of the
Oppenheimer funds including the Fund) in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and was amended on March 4,
2005. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Manager charged
excessive fees for distribution and other costs, and that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the
funds breached their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The plaintiffs sought unspecified
damages, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and
litigation expenses.
84 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
In response to the defendants' motions to dismiss the suit, seven of the
eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of the
Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former
Directors, Trustees and Officers of the funds, and the Distributor, as
defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006,
and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was dismissed
with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. The plaintiffs filed an
appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006.
The Manager believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are
without merit and that there are substantial grounds to sustain the district
court's rulings. The Manager also believes that it is premature to render any
opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it, the funds, the
Directors/Trustees or the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the
district court, and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of
certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss.

OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND (UNDERLYING FUND)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, a series of Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc.,
including the statement of investments, as of August 31, 2006, 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 the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.
The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation
of securities owned as of August 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. 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 Main Street Fund as of August 31, 2006, 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.

with respect to its trustees.
(e) (1) During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings, the registrant's
audit committee will pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other

Under applicable laws, pre-approval of non-audit services maybe waived

non-audit fees. Those billings did not include any prohibited non-audit

(h) The registrant's audit committee of the board of trustees has considered
whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the

by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides
ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to
paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with
maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

THE FUND'S GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO NOMINATIONS OF
DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES TO THE RESPECTIVE BOARDS
1. The Fund's Governance Committee (the "Committee") will evaluate potential
Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have
the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search
firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations
by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by
executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time
and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may
consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds' investment manager
and its affiliates in making the selection.
2. The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee
has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met
by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee
considers, among other things, an individual's background, skills, and
experience; whether the individual is an "interested person" as defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be
deemed an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of
applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the
individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the
background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute
to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the
Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is
recommended by a shareholder.
3. The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at
such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board.
The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates
to present to the
Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations
for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the
following:
o the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent
background of the person being recommended;
o a statement concerning whether the person is an "interested person"
as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940;
o any other information that the Funds would be required to include in
a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated;
and
o the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation
and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that
person held Fund shares.
The recommendation also can include any additional information which the
person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the
recommendation.
4. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the
Funds' investment adviser) would be deemed an "interested person" under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other
relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its
subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside
legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."
5. Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee,
Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual
in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a
detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must
be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether
the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving
as a trustee of a registered investment company.
ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Based on their evaluation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR
270.30a-3(c)) as of 08/31/2006, the registrant's principal executive officer and
principal financial officer found the registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be
disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant's
management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in the registrant's internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrant's second fiscal quarter of the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.

(2) Exhibits attached hereto.
(3) Not applicable.
(b) Exhibit attached hereto.
