FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED? BELOW IS A DISCUSSION BY OPPENHEIMERFUNDS,
INC., OF THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING ITS FISCAL YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2007.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE. From the inception date of the Fund
on December 15, 2006, it was an up-and-down few months for stock prices, which
had been rising steadily until the period's second-to-last day, when global
equity markets tumbled in response to a nearly 9% drop in China's stock market
along with the release of weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data. On February
27, 2007, alone, the U.S. stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index,
lost approximately 3.5%.
The past several months were characterized by a slowly expanding U.S.
economy that grew by 2.5% during the fourth quarter of 2006--only slightly
faster than during the previous three months. Inflation remained under control,
ticking up modestly in response to rising energy costs. The price for a barrel
of oil surpassed $60 during the period, well below its summer 2006 high of
nearly $80 but also above its mid-January low approaching $50. The combination
of moderate economic growth and contained inflation enabled the Federal Reserve
Board (the Fed) to leave its benchmark federal funds interest rate at 5.25%,
where it has remained since June 2006.
Bonds began the brief period on the rise, as favorable economic data
indicated that the Fed was unlikely to lower rates in the near future. However,
increasing evidence of less-robust-than-expected economic growth helped the bond
market reverse its losses during the period's final weeks.
The Oppenheimer Transition 2020 Fund is designed for investors around 50
years old who expect to retire in their mid-60s--or within several years of
2020. Compared to the other LifeCycle funds offered by Oppenheimer--Transition
2030, Transition 2015 and Transition 2010--Transition 2020 is moderately
aggressive, beginning with a large initial equity exposure as well as a modest
fixed-income weighting, with the former decreasing and the latter increasing
over time. This allocation reflects the need for continued asset growth along
with reduced volatility--a positioning designed to carry investors toward a
distant retirement date that is increasingly coming into view.
Approximately 70% of the Transition 2020 portfolio is initially targeted
toward a diversified mix of Oppenheimer U.S. equity funds, with another 15%
directed toward Oppenheimer international stock funds. On the fixed-income side,
10% of the Fund is targeted toward the Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, while the
remaining 5% of the portfolio is allocated to the Oppenheimer Commodity Strategy
Total Return Fund--a small but important weighting, in our view, given
commodity-oriented investments' relatively limited correlation to domestic and
international stocks.
6 | OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND
Over time, the portfolio's actual allocations will vary from our target
weightings as market conditions change and some of the funds in the portfolio do
better than others. Accordingly, part of our investment discipline is to
regularly monitor the portfolio's asset allocations and, when necessary,
rebalance the Fund's holdings to return them to our target weightings and
maintain what we believe is a suitable level of risk for our shareholders.
The Fund is designed to become progressively more conservative over time
and as our shareholders near and eventually pass their target retirement date.
As we mentioned, this will mean a smaller future equity weighting along with a
gradually increasing bond allocation to provide added stability and regular
income. The Fund will remain broadly diversified, however, with ongoing exposure
to domestic stock, international stock, bond and commodity-oriented investment
products from Oppenheimer. After the Fund's transition date, it will continue to
become more conservative, seek to reduce the impact of market volatility and aim
to provide shareholders with higher levels of current income to meet their
retirement needs.
In our view, global financial markets appear to be somewhat complacent in
how they are pricing risk. In the United States, for example, equity markets
have drifted upwards for some time, but there are some causes for concern on the
horizon--such as a housing market slowdown and the threat of a further rebound
in commodity prices. In the bond market, credit spreads--representing the
premium available to an investor in lower-rated, higher-risk bonds--remain at
historically very tight levels.
The longer that investors remain complacent about risk, the greater the
odds of a market correction--although there is no guarantee that the markets
will not continue to perform well for a time. An increase in risk aversion would
likely be a negative for equities, although the portfolio's broad level of
diversification across multiple asset classes and fund types should provide a
measure of protection from sudden market changes. That's one of the major
benefits of the "life cycle" approach to investing offered by the Oppenheimer
Transition 2020 Fund--it's an effort-free way to maintain a broadly diversified
portfolio whose risk gradually decreases over time as investors near their
retirement date.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.
Cumulative total returns are not annualized. 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 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 for Actual Expenses are based on an investment of $1,000.00
invested at the beginning of the period, December 15, 2006 (commencement of
operations) and held for the period ended February 28, 2007.
The Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes are based on an investment of
$1,000.00 invested on September 1, 2006 and held for the six months ended
February 28, 2007.
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.

FUND EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.
1. Actual expenses paid are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for
that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied
by 76/365 [to reflect the period from December 15, 2006 (commencement of
operations) to February 28, 2007].
2. Hypothetical expenses paid are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio
for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period,
multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
The annualized expense ratios, excluding all underlying fund expenses, are as
follows:
CLASS EXPENSE RATIOS
- -------------------------------------
Class A 0.84%
- -------------------------------------
Class B 1.57
- -------------------------------------
Class C 1.57
- -------------------------------------
Class N 1.08
- -------------------------------------
Class Y 0.55
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by
the Fund's Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice.
The "Financial Highlights" tables in the Fund's financial statements, included
in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or
reimbursements.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Transition 2020 Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Fund's investment objective is to seek total return until the target
retirement date included in its name and then seeks income and secondarily
capital growth. The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a "fund of
funds" because it invests in other mutual funds. The Fund normally invests in a
portfolio consisting of a target weighted allocation in Class A or Class Y
shares of other Oppenheimer funds (the "Underlying Funds"). 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 each class of
shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Funds. For
each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares on a
"regular business day" is determined by dividing the value of the Underlying
Fund's net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of that
class outstanding on that day. To determine net asset values, the Underlying
Fund assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. If
market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair
value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a security's value has
been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or
market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued
by another method that the Underlying Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors
believes accurately reflects the fair value. Because some foreign securities
trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays,
the values of some of the Underlying Fund's foreign investments may change on
days when investors cannot buy or redeem Underlying Fund shares.
20 | OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND
Short-term "money market type" debt securities with remaining maturities
of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market
value).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE UNDERLYING FUNDS. Each of the Underlying Funds in
which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect
the value of the Fund's investments and therefore the value of the Fund's
shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying
Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that
Underlying Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT IN OPPENHEIMER INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUND. The Fund is permitted
to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The
Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer
Institutional Money Market Fund ("IMMF") which seeks current income and
stability of principal. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment
company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment advisor of IMMF. The Fund's
investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a
shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF's Class E
expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or
reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees
incurred through the Fund's investment in IMMF.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 February 28, 2007. Net assets of
the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the
"Plan") for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of
service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan
was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006
(the "Freeze Date") and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will
continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees
as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to
their benefits under the Plan. During the period ended February 28, 2007, the
Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $6 resulting in an
accumulated liability of $6 as of February 28, 2007.
22 | OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral 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 compensation deferral 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 BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
MANAGEMENT FEES. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not
charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from
investments in the Underlying Funds. The weighted indirect management fees
collected from the Underlying Funds, as a percent of average daily net assets of
the Fund for the period ended February 28, 2007 were 0.57%.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS or the Transfer Agent), 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 period ended February
28, 2007, the Fund paid $32 to OFS for services to the Fund.
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
determines its uncompensated expenses under the plan at calendar quarter ends.
The Distributor's aggregate uncompensated expenses under the plan at December
31, 2006 were zero for all classes. 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.

2.25%, 1.75% and 1.25%, for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y,
respectively. During the period ended February 28, 2007, the Manager reimbursed
the Fund $17,547, $4,197, $143, $274 and $274 for the Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class N and Class Y shares, respectively. The Manager may modify or terminate
this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders.
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.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount
equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in
IMMF. During the period ended February 28, 2007, the Manager waived $11 for IMMF
management fees.
26 | OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. 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
February 28, 2007, the Manager has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 and does
not currently anticipate a material impact to the Fund's financial statements.
The Manager will continue to monitor the Fund's tax positions prospectively for
potential future impacts.
In September 2006, the FASB 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 February 28, 2007, 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Transition 2020 Fund, including the statement of investments, as of
February 28, 2007, and the related statement of operations, the statement of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period December 15,
2006 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2007. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 February 28, 2007, 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
audit provides 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 Transition 2020 Fund as of February 28, 2007, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
period December 15, 2006 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2007, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request
and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be
reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Fund's investment advisory
agreement (the "Agreement").
In approving the Agreement, the Board considered information provided by
the Manager on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the
Manager's services to be provided, (ii) the fees and expenses of the Fund,
including comparative expense information, (iii) the profitability of the
Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the anticipated cost of
providing services by the Manager and its affiliates, (iv) the extent to which
economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels
reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (v) other benefits that
the Manager may receive from its relationship with the Fund.
NATURE AND EXTENT OF SERVICES. In approving the Agreement, the Board
considered information about the nature and extent of the services to be
provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager's key personnel who
provide such services. The Manager's duties include providing the Fund with the
services of the portfolio managers and the Manager's investment team, who
provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund's
investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service
providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures
and adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible
for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those
services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical
personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate
administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to
the Fund's operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities
and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of
the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder
meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and
state securities laws for the sale of the Fund's shares. The Manager also
provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
QUALITY OF SERVICES. The Board also considered the quality of the services
it expected to be provided by the Manager and the quality of the Manager's
resources that would be available to the Fund. The Board took account of the
fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment
adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund
managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager's administrative,
accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has
received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the
Manager's personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation
31 | OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of the quality of the portfolio management services to be provided, the Board
considered the experience of Rudi W. Schadt, Jerry A. Webman, and Kurt
Wolfgruber, the portfolio managers for the Fund and the experience of the
portfolio managers, and the investment performance of the investment companies
in which the Fund may invest (the "Underlying Funds"). The Board members also
considered their experiences with the Manager and its officers and other
personnel through their service on the boards of other funds advised by the
Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services
provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become
knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of service agreements of
other funds managed by the Manager. In light of the foregoing, the Board
concluded that the Fund would benefit from the services to be provided under the
Agreement and from the Manager's experience, reputation, personnel, operations,
and resources.
MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES. The Board reviewed the fees to be paid to
the Manager and its affiliates and the other expenses that would be borne by the
Fund. The Board also evaluated the comparability of the fees to be charged and
the services to be provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other
clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The Manager provided comparative
data in regard to the fees and anticipated expenses of the Fund and the fees and
expenses of other lifecycle funds-of-funds with a comparable target date. The
Board noted that under the Agreement, the Manager would not charge a management
fee to the Fund; however the Manager would collect indirect management fees
through the Fund's investments in the Underlying Funds. The Board took account
of the fees and expenses paid by the Underlying Funds and also noted that the
Manager would agree to voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund for
certain expenses so that the Fund's "Total Annual Fund and Underlying Fund
Operating Expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, would not
exceed 1.50% for Class A, 2.25% for Class B and Class C, 1.75% for Class N, and
1.25% for Class Y shares and that the Manager may modify or terminate that
undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board considered the extent to which the Manager
may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and the
Underlying Funds, and the extent to which those economies of scale would benefit
the Fund's shareholders.
BENEFITS TO THE MANAGER. The Board considered information regarding the
Manager's estimated costs in serving as the Fund's investment adviser, including
the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the
Fund, and information regarding the Manager's potential profitability from its
relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Manager must be able
to pay and retain experienced professional
32 | OPPENHEIMER TRANSITION 2020 FUND
personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Fund and that
maintaining the financial viability of the Manager is important in order for the
Manager to provide significant services to the Fund and its shareholders. In
addition, the Board considered information regarding the direct and indirect
benefits the Manager may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund,
including compensation paid to the Manager and its affiliates for services
provided to the Fund and to the Underlying Funds.
CONCLUSIONS. These factors were also considered by the independent
Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel
to the Fund and the independent Trustees. Fund counsel is independent of the
Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations
described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees,
concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to
the Fund by the Manager would be a benefit to the Fund and in the best interest
of the Fund's shareholders and that the amount and structure of the compensation
to be received by the Manager and its affiliates are reasonable in relation to
the services to be provided. Accordingly, the Board approved the Agreement for
an initial period of two years. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not
single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but
considered all of the factors together. The Board judged the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of
the surrounding circumstances.

specialized education or experience described in that Instruction. The Board has
concluded that while the members of the Audit Committee collectively have the

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 February 28, 2007, 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.
