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 SEPTEMBER 30, 2006, FOLLOWED
BY A GRAPHICAL COMPARISON OF THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE TO AN APPROPRIATE
BROAD-BASED MARKET INDEX.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE. Across the past 12 months, the Fund
performed very well for shareholders seeking tax-free income as its yield
compared favorably to those earned by its competitors and by other fixed income
investments. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund's Class A shares produced a
distribution yield of 4.44% without sales charges. Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc.--an independent mutual fund rating service--reported an average
distribution yield of 3.66% among the 104 funds in its New York Municipal Debt
Funds category as of the same date. 1
The Fund's holdings represent a wide variety of industry sectors and
credit qualities, and tax-free, AMT-free income made up 68.5% of the Fund's
total return for the period; price appreciation generated the balance. Strong
asset growth fueled the Fund's strategy of building diversification, and by the
end of the report period the number of holdings in the Fund rose to 328, from
215 a year earlier.
The Fund's income-oriented approach continued to provide significant
benefit to our investors in this report period. In the year ended September 30,
2006, the Fund's Class A shares generated a total return of 7.61% without sales
charge. By comparison, its primary benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index, produced a total return of 4.45% for the period. 2 In the 12 months ended
September 30, 2006, distributions totaled 64.3 cents per Class A share. With
credit spreads remaining stubbornly tight across the period, fewer lower-rated
new issues offered yields that were high enough--in our opinion--to offset the
associated risks and create a favorable balance of risk and reward. This
situation produced significant dividend pressure during the 12 months ended
September 30, 2006, and the monthly distribution, which had held steady at
$0.056 per Class A share through April's distribution, was reduced by $0.004
beginning with the May distribution and by an additional $0.003 as of the July
distribution. Distributions for other share classes were adjusted accordingly. A
dividend reduction does not change the Fund's net asset value per share and,
importantly, this dividend reduction was not the result from any defaults of
bonds in the Fund's portfolio.

included, would reduce results.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this period, the prices of lower-rated municipal bonds have increased
relative to prices of higher-grade bonds, a condition sometimes known as "credit
spread tightening." With generally higher prices of lower-rated and non-rated
municipal securities, the Fund began adopting a general strategy of investing a
larger percentage of assets in higher-quality bonds during this period. For
example, AAA- and AA-rated paper represented a growing portion of the portfolio;
their combined share of the portfolio rose nearly 13% during this report period
and, as of September 30, 2006, nearly 36% of the portfolio's investments were
rated AAA or AA.
The Fund's holdings in Master Settlement Agreement ("MSA") tobacco-backed
bonds, which accounted for 27% of Fund investments as of September 30, 2006,
have contributed strongly to the Fund's yield and total return performance
during this period. MSA bonds are backed by the issuing State's (or U.S.
territory's) share of proceeds from a national litigation settlement with
tobacco manufacturers.
During this reporting period, the litigation environment has continued to
improve for the tobacco industry and, by extension, for MSA bonds. On December
15, 2005, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed a $10.1 billion judgment against
Philip Morris USA that had been awarded by a lower court in 2003. In July 2006,
the Florida Supreme Court upheld an appellate court's reversal of a $145 billion
judgment against cigarette manufacturers in the long-running Engle case. One
month later, tobacco manufacturers received another reprieve, when a U.S. judge
determined that she could not authorize financial remedies despite her finding
that tobacco manufacturers had violated federal racketeering laws. As of
September 30, 2006, both the Department of Justice, which brought this case in
1999, and manufacturers were reportedly considering appeals. We remain confident
that the resolution of this case will not harm the Fund's position in MSA bonds.
MSA bond prices rose in the first half of the reporting period amid
widespread market speculation that tobacco-backed bonds might be "pre-refunded"
by their issuers. In a pre-refunding, a municipality issues a new bond whose
proceeds are escrowed in U.S. Government bonds and earmarked to pay off another
previously issued--but not yet callable--municipal bond. When an outstanding
bond is pre-refunded, its price generally rises significantly. MSA-backed bonds
that had been issued by TSASC (New York City) and Nassau County, New York, were
pre-refunded in February and April respectively, driving up their prices. The
Fund realized gains on the holdings it sold and, as a result, MSA-backed
holdings contributed positively to the Fund's total return for the period.
Pre-refunding of MSA-backed tobacco bonds provides a particularly good example
of how our yield-oriented investment strategy can result in both yield and price
appreciation
14 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
for individual bonds, generating an attractive total return. In light of these
and other transactions, the December 2006 distribution to shareholders will
include a small capital gain and a small amount of taxable income.
Upgrades from credit rating agencies have contributed to favorable
performance this reporting period. Standard & Poor's ("S&P") raised New York
City's general obligation bond rating in May, contributing to higher prices for
the City's bonds. In anticipation of the de-coupling of Mount Sinai Hospital and
New York University Hospitals Center, which had merged in 1998, Moody's
Investors Services upgraded Mount Sinai to Baa2 with a stable outlook, from Ba1,
and Fitch's Ratings upgraded the hospital to BBB- from BB+, also with a stable
outlook. Mount Sinai earned its above-investment-grade status, according to
Moody's, because volume growth and an improved financial profile helped drive
top-line revenue growth and profitability in the City's competitive healthcare
market. At the time of the upgrade, the agency also cited Mount Sinai's clinical
reputation and affiliation with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Shortly
after this report period ended, S&P upgraded the bonds that remain an obligation
of Mount Sinai to BBB, from BB, with a positive outlook; unlike the other
ratings agencies, S&P waited to announce its rating change until the two
hospitals had completed their separation.
Investors have also benefited from the Fund's holdings in bonds issued by
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. While prices on bonds issued by Puerto Rico
exhibited slightly more volatility than the general market during this reporting
period, we believe that the government's decision to raise taxes to balance the
budget as well its efforts to reinforce its financial structure will ultimately
strengthen the municipal bonds that the Fund continues to own. As we have
continued to monitor developments in Puerto Rico, we have taken advantage of
market weakness to add to positions in these bonds at favorable prices. Thus,
despite the financial difficulties that led Moody's and S&P to issue downgrades,
these bonds contributed to the Fund's positive total return in this report
period.
The Fund's diversified portfolio includes a variety of bond types,
structures and maturities, in an effort to mute the effects of any one variety.
For example, during this report period, we continued to invest in select
premium-coupon callable bonds that may remain outstanding through periods of
rising short-term interest rates. This investing strategy is designed to
minimize overall income volatility in the Fund. Additionally, we increased the
Fund's investment in municipal inverse-floating-rate securities to 17.7% of the
portfolio, including the effect of leverage, from 16.7% a year earlier. Although
interest payments on these tax-exempt, highly liquid securities move inversely
to short-term interest rates, these securities continued to provide above-market
yields in this reporting period, which was characterized by a flattening yield
curve and rising short-term rates. Importantly, even
15 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
though these holdings generated less income than in previous periods, they
contributed positively to total return in the past 12 months.
As of September 30, 2006, the Fund's portfolio included a municipal bond
that had been issued by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to finance
work on a passenger terminal at LaGuardia Airport. The bond is backed by
payments from Delta Air Lines, which entered bankruptcy protection on September
14, 2005. The carrier has made all required interest payments, demonstrating to
bondholders how valuable this facility is to the ongoing operations of the
company. This investment represents 1.3% of the portfolio and has produced a
healthy total return across the year, contributing handsomely to the Fund's
overall performance.
The "Rochester style" of municipal bond investing is flexible and
responsive to market conditions; our strategies are intended to balance many
different types of risk to reduce exposure to any individual risk. We continue
to comb the market for bonds that offer attractive yields, and to monitor
developing market conditions. Notwithstanding the changes in the Fund's dividend
distribution, we believe that shareholders will continue to benefit from highly
competitive yields as market conditions continue to develop. Shareholders should
note that market conditions during this report period did not affect the Fund's
overall investment 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 September 30, 2006. In the case of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. 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 and Class C
shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions.
The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged index of a broad range of investment
grade municipal bonds that is widely regarded as a measure of the performance of
the general municipal bond market. Index performance reflects the reinvestment
of dividends but does not consider the effect of capital gains or transaction
costs, and none of the data in the graphs that follow shows the effect of taxes.
The Fund's performance reflects the effects of Fund business and operating
expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the
Fund's performance, it must be noted that the Fund's investments are not limited
to the securities in the index.

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.
CLASS A shares were first publicly offered on 8/16/84. Unless otherwise noted,
Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%,
except where noted.
CLASS B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 3/1/93. Unless
otherwise noted, Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred
sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year). Because Class B shares convert to
Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B uses
Class A performance for the period after conversion. Class B shares are subject
to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.
CLASS C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 8/29/95. Unless
otherwise noted, Class C returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of
1% for the 1-year period. Class C shares are subject to an annual 0.75%
asset-based sales charge.
An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund's Statement of
Additional Information.

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 September 30, 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 Fund'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

FUND EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.
Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for that class,
multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365
(to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios based on
the 6-month period ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek the maximum current income
exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes for
individual investors consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund's
investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are
sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales
charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). 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 and C have separate distribution and/or service plans.
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 Trustees. 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 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 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
41 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
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
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).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS OR FORWARD COMMITMENT. Delivery and payment
for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis or
forward commitment can take place up to ten days 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
internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the
amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued
basis or forward commitment may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset
value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining
substantially fully invested. The Fund may also sell securities that it
purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of
the original purchase. As of September 30, 2006, the Fund had purchased $748,462
of securities issued on a when-issued basis or forward commitment.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVERSE FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate
securities that pay interest at a rate that varies inversely with short-term
interest rates. Certain of these securities may be leveraged, whereby the
interest rate varies inversely at a multiple of the change in short-term rates.
As interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income. The price
of such securities is more volatile than comparable fixed rate securities. The
Fund will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in inverse floaters.
Inverse floaters amount to $104,665,670 as of September 30, 2006, which
represents 8.98% of the Fund's total assets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY CREDIT RISK. There are certain risks arising from geographic
concentration in any state. Certain revenue or tax related events in a state may
impair the ability of certain issuers of municipal securities to pay principal
and interest on their obligations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
42 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund utilized $1,450,798
of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal
year.
2. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the Fund utilized $6,520 of
capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
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.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30,
2006 and September 30, 2005 was as follows:

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 September 30, 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.

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
September 30, 2006, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by
$4,098 and payments of $8,675 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $94,508 as of September 30, 2006.
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 distributions, if any, are declared
daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and
paid annually.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT INCOME. 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.
44 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of
beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest

Next $250 million of net assets 0.40
Over $1 billion of net assets 0.35
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 September 30, 2006, the Fund paid
$353,550 to OFS for services to 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 AND CLASS C SHARES. The Fund has
adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C 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. The Distributor also receives a service fee of up to 0.25% under each
plan. If either the Class B or Class C 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
46 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
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 September 30, 2006 for Class B and Class C shares
were $1,645,598 and $1,380,126, 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.

5. ILLIQUID SECURITIES
As of September 30, 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 15% 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. BORROWINGS
The Fund can borrow money from banks in amounts up to one-third of its total
assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness
other than borrowings to purchase portfolio securities, to meet redemption
obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. The purchase of securities
with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund.
The Fund has entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the
"Agreement") with a conduit lender and a bank which enables it to participate
with certain other Oppen-heimer funds in a committed, secured borrowing facility
that permits borrowings of up to $900 million, collectively. To secure the loan,
the Fund pledges investment securities in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Interest is charged to the Fund, based on its borrowings, at current
commercial paper issuance rates (5.3315% as of September 30, 2006). The Fund
pays additional fees of 0.30% per annum on its outstanding borrowings to manage

and administer the facility and is allocated its pro-rata share of a 0.13% per
annum commitment fee for a liquidity backstop facility with respect to the $900
million facility size.
For the year ended September 30, 2006, the average daily loan balance was
$20,394,247 at an average daily interest rate of 4.661%. The Fund had borrowings
outstanding of $15,400,000 at September 30, 2006 at an interest rate of 5.3315%.
The Fund had gross borrowings and gross loan repayments of $444,400,000 and
$445,000,000, respectively, during the year ended September 30, 2006. The
maximum amount of borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the year ended
September 30, 2006 was $84,800,000. The Fund paid $91,774 in fees and $949,030
in interest during the year ended September 30, 2006.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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
September 30, 2006, the Manager is evaluating the implications of FIN 48. Its
impact in the Fund's financial statements has not yet been determined.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value
measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of September
30, 2006, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will
materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the
period.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
48 | OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS
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.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
OPPENHEIMER AMT-FREE NEW YORK MUNICIPALS:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals, including the statement of
investments, as of September 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each
of the years in the five-year 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.
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 September 30, 2006, 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 AMT-Free New York Municipals as of September 30, 2006, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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

None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The dividends were derived from interest on municipal bonds and are not subject

local tax laws, some or all of the dividends received may be taxable.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting
distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's
principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting
officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The Board of Trustees of the registrant has determined that the registrant does
not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. In
this regard, no member of the Audit Committee was identified as having all of
the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) to Item 3 of Form N-CSR
to qualify as an "audit committee
financial expert," whether through the type of specialized education or
experience described in that Instruction. The Board has concluded that while the
members of the Audit Committee collectively have the necessary attributes and
experience required to serve effectively as an Audit Committee, no single member
possesses all of the required technical attributes through the particular
methods of education or experience set forth in the Instructions to be
designated as an audit committee financial expert.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
(a) Audit Fees
The principal accountant for the audit of the registrant's annual financial
statements billed $29,000 in fiscal 2006 and $28,000 in fiscal 2005.
(b) Audit-Related Fees

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.
