The Trust's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE TRUST'S  INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVE?  The Trust seeks the maximum current
income  that  is  consistent  with  low  capital  risk  and the  maintenance  of
liquidity.

WHAT DOES THE TRUST INVEST IN? The Trust is a money market fund. It invests in a
variety of high-quality  money market  instruments to seek income.  Money market
instruments are short-term,  U.S.  dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by
the  U.S.   government,   domestic  and  foreign   corporations   and  financial
institutions and other entities.  They include,  for example,  bank obligations,
repurchase  agreements,  commercial paper,  other corporate debt obligations and
government debt  obligations.  To be considered  "high-quality,"  generally they
must be rated in one of the two highest credit-quality categories for short-term
securities by nationally recognized rating services. If unrated, a security must
be determined by the Trust's  investment  manager to be of comparable quality to
rated securities.

WHO IS THE TRUST  DESIGNED  FOR? The Trust is designed for investors who want to
earn income at current  money market rates while  preserving  the value of their
investment,  because the Trust  tries to keep its share  price  stable at $1.00.
Income on short-term money market  instruments  tends to be lower than income on
longer term debt securities,  so the Trust's yield will likely be lower than the
yield on  longer-term  fixed  income  funds.  The Trust  does not invest for the
purpose  of  seeking  capital  appreciation  or  gains  and  is  not a  complete
investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Trust

All  investments  carry  risks  to  some  degree.  Funds  that  invest  in  debt
obligations  for income may be subject to credit risks and interest  rate risks.
However,  the Trust's investments must meet strict standards set by its Board of
Trustees following special rules for money market funds under federal law. Those
standards  include  requirements  for  maintaining  high  credit  quality in the
Trust's  portfolio,  a short average portfolio maturity to reduce the effects of
changes  in  interest  rates  on  the  value  of  the  Trust's   securities  and
diversifying  the Trust's  investments  among issuers to reduce the effects of a
default by any one issuer on the Trust's overall  portfolio and the value of the
Trust's shares.

      Even so, there are risks that any of the Trust's  holdings  could have its
credit rating  downgraded,  or the issuer could default,  or that interest rates
could rise sharply,  causing the value of the Trust's investments (and its share
price) to fall. As a result,  there is a risk that the Trust's shares could fall
below  $1.00 per share.  If there is a high  redemption  demand for the  Trust's
shares  that was not  anticipated,  portfolio  securities  might have to be sold
prior to their  maturity  at a loss.  Also,  there is the risk that the value of
your investment could be eroded over time by the effects of inflation,  and that
poor security  selection could cause the Trust to underperform  other funds with
similar objectives.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investment in the Trust is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.  Although the
Trust seeks to preserve the value of your  investment at $1.00 per share,  it is
possible to lose money by investing in the Trust.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Trust's investment  manager,  Centennial Asset Management  Corporation
(referred  to in this  Prospectus  as the  Manager)  tries  to  reduce  risks by
diversifying  investments and by carefully  researching  investments  before the
Trust  buys  them.  The rate of the  Trust's  income  will vary from day to day,
generally  reflecting changes in overall short-term  interest rates. There is no
assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

The Trust's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show how the  Trust's  returns may vary over time,
by showing changes in the Trust's performance from year to year for the last ten
calendar  years and its average annual total returns for the 1-, 5- and 10- year
periods.  Variability  of returns is one measure of the risks of  investing in a
money market fund. The Trust's past investment  performance does not predict how
the Trust will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (% as of 12/31 each year)

[See appendix to prospectus for annual total return data for bar chart.]

For the period from 1/1/99  through  9/30/99 the  cumulative  total  return (not
annualized)  was 3.35%.  During the period  shown in the bar chart,  the highest
return  (not  annualized)  for a calendar  quarter was 2.28% (2nd Q '89) and the
lowest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was 0.65% (1st Q '93).

The returns  measure the  performance of a hypothetical  account and assume that
all dividends have been reinvested in additional shares.

Fees and Expenses of the Trust

The  Trust  pays a variety  of  expenses  directly  for  investment  management,
administration  and other  services.  Those  expenses  are  subtracted  from the
Trust's  assets to  calculate  the  Trust's  net  asset  value  per  share.  All
shareholders  therefore pay those expenses indirectly.  The following tables are
meant to help you  understand  the fees and  expenses you may pay if you buy and
hold shares of the Trust.  The numbers below are based upon the Trust's expenses
during its fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.

SHAREHOLDER  FEES.  The Trust does not charge any  initial  sales  charge to buy
shares or to reinvest  dividends.  There are no exchange fees or redemption fees
and no  contingent  deferred  sales  charges  (unless  you buy  Trust  shares by
exchanging Class A shares of other eligible funds that were purchased subject to
a contingent deferred sales charge, as described in "How to Sell Shares").

Annual Trust Operating Expenses (deducted from Trust assets):
(% of average daily net assets)

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Management Fees                              0.34%

 Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees     0.20%
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Other Expenses                               0.12%
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Total Annual Operating Expenses              0.66%
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Other expenses" in the table include  transfer agent fees,  custodial fees, and
accounting and legal expenses the Trust pays.

EXAMPLE.  The  following  example is  intended  to help you  compare the cost of
investing in the Trust with the cost of investing  in other  mutual  funds.  The
example  assumes  that you  invest  $10,000  in shares of the Trust for the time
periods  indicated and reinvest your  dividends and  distributions.  The example
also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Trust's
operating  expenses  remain the same.  Your actual costs may be higher or lower,
because expenses will vary over time.  Based on these  assumptions your expenses
would be as  follows,  whether or not you redeem your  investment  at the end of
each period:
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                1 year      3 years     5 years    10 years

About the Trust's Investments

THE TRUST'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Trust invests in short-term money
market  securities  meeting  quality,  maturity  and  diversification  standards
established by its Board of Trustees as well as rules that apply to money market
funds under the Investment Company Act. The Statement of Additional  Information
contains more detailed  information  about the Trust's  investment  policies and
risks.

What Does the Trust  Invest  In?  Money  market  instruments  are  high-quality,
     short-term  debt  instruments.  They may have  fixed,  variable or floating
     interest rates.  All of the Trust's money market  investments must meet the
     special quality and maturity  requirements set under the Investment Company
     Act and the special standards set by the Board described briefly below. The
     following is a brief  description of the types of money market  instruments
     the Trust may invest in.

U.S. Government  Securities.  The Trust invests mainly in obligations  issued or
     guaranteed   by  the   U.S.   government   or  any  of  its   agencies   or
     instrumentalities.  Some are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury,  such
     as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and are supported by the full faith and
     credit of the United  States.  Other U.S.  government  securities,  such as
     pass-through  certificates  issued  by  the  Government  National  Mortgage
     Association  (Ginnie Mae),  are also supported by the full faith and credit
     of  the  U.S.   government.   Some  government   securities,   agencies  or
     instrumentalities  of the U.S. government are supported by the right of the
     issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury,  such as securities of the Federal
     National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae). Others may be supported only by
     the credit of the instrumentality,  such as obligations of the Federal Home
     Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

Bank Obligations.  The Trust can buy time deposits,  certificates of deposit and
     bankers'  acceptances.  These  obligations  must  be  denominated  in  U.S.
     dollars, even if issued by a foreign bank.

Commercial Paper. Commercial paper is a short-term, unsecured promissory note of
     a domestic or foreign  company or other  financial  firm. The Trust may buy
     commercial paper only if it matures in nine months or less from the date of
     purchase.

Corporate Debt Obligations.  The Trust can invest in other short-term  corporate
     debt obligations,  besides commercial paper including debt obligations that
     either  mature  within  twelve  months of the date of  purchase or that are
     subject to repurchase agreements that call for delivery in twelve months or
     less.

OtherMoney Market Obligations.  The Trust may invest in money market obligations
     other than those listed above if they are subject to repurchase  agreements
     or  guaranteed as to their  principal  and interest by a corporation  whose
     commercial  paper may be purchased by the Trust or by a domestic  bank. The
     bank must meet credit criteria set by the Trust's Board of Trustees.

      Additionally,  the Trust may buy other money market  instruments  that the
Manager approves under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. They must be
U.S.  dollar-denominated  short-term investments that the Manager must determine
to have minimal credit risks.

      Currently,  the Board has  approved  the  purchase  of  dollar-denominated
obligations of foreign banks payable in the U.S. or in London, England, floating
or  variable  rate  demand  notes,   asset-backed  securities,   and  bank  loan
participation agreements.  Their purchase may be subject to restrictions adopted
by the Board from time to time.

What  Standards Apply to the Trust's  Investments?  Money market instruments are
      subject to credit  risk,  the risk that the issuer  might not make  timely
      payments of interest on the  security or repay  principal  when it is due.
      The Trust may buy only those  investments  that meet  standards set by the
      Board of  Trustees  and in the  Investment  Company  Act for money  market
      funds. The Trust's Board has adopted evaluation procedures for the Trust's
      portfolio,  and the  Manager has the  responsibility  to  implement  those
      procedures when selecting investments for the Trust.

In general, the Trust buys only high-quality investments that the Manager
believes present minimal credit risk at the time of purchase.  "High-quality"
investments are:
o      rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories of two
      national rating organizations, or
o      rated by one rating organization in one of its two highest rating
      categories (if only one rating organization has rated the investment),
      or
o     unrated  investments that the Manager determines are comparable in quality
      to the two highest rating categories.

      The  procedures  also limit the amount of the  Trust's  assets that can be
invested in the  securities of any one issuer  (other than the U.S.  government,
its agencies and  instrumentalities),  to spread the Trust's  investment  risks.
Some of the  Trust's  investment  restrictions  are  more  restrictive  than the
standards  that apply to all money market funds.  For example,  as a fundamental
policy,  the Trust may not invest in any debt  instrument  having a maturity  in
excess  of one year from the date of the  investment.  Finally,  the Trust  must
maintain a dollar-weighted  average portfolio maturity of not more than 90 days,
to reduce interest rate risks.

Can   the  Trust's  Investment  Objective  and  Policies  Change?  The  Board of
      Trustees  of  the  Trust  can  change  non-fundamental   policies  without
      shareholder  approval,  although  significant changes will be described in
      amendments  to this  Prospectus.  Fundamental  policies  cannot be changed
      without  the  approval of a majority  of the  Trust's  outstanding  voting
      shares. The Trust's  investment  objective is a fundamental  policy.  Some
      investment  restrictions  that are  fundamental  polices are listed in the
      Statement  of  Additional   Information.   An  investment  policy  is  not
      fundamental   unless  this  Prospectus  or  the  Statement  of  Additional
      Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.  To seek its objective,  the Trust can also use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Trust might not always
use all of these  techniques and strategies.  These  techniques  involve certain
risks. The Statement of Additional  Information  contains more information about
some of these practices, including limitations on their use that are designed to
reduce some of the risks.

Floating  Rate/Variable  Rate Notes.  The Trust can  purchase  investments  with
      floating or variable  interest  rates.  Variable  rates are  adjustable at
      stated  periodic  intervals.  Floating  rates are  adjusted  automatically
      according to a specified market rate or benchmark,  such as the prime rate
      of a bank.  If the maturity of an  investment is greater than one year, it
      may be purchased only if it has a demand feature. That feature must permit
      the Trust to recover the  principal  amount of the  investment on not more
      than thirty days' notice at any time, or at specified  times not exceeding
      one year from purchase.

Asset-Backed Securities. The Trust can invest in asset-backed investments. These
      are  fractional  interests  in pools of  consumer  loans and  other  trade
      receivables,  which are the obligations of a number of different  parties.
      The income from the underlying  pool is passed through to investors,  such
      as the Trust.

      These  investments might be supported by a credit  enhancement,  such as a
letter of  credit,  a  guarantee  or a  preference  right.  However,  the credit
enhancement generally applies only to a fraction of the security's value. If the
issuer of the security has no security interest in the related collateral, there
is the risk that the Trust could lose money if the issuer defaults.

Repurchase  Agreements.  The Trust may enter into  repurchase  agreements.  In a
      repurchase transaction, the Trust buys a security and simultaneously sells
      it to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must
      be fully  collateralized.  However,  if the vendor fails to pay the resale
      price on the delivery  date, the Trust may incur costs in disposing of the
      collateral and may experience  losses if there is any delay in its ability
      to do so. The Trust will not enter into repurchase  transactions that will
      cause more than 10% of the Trust's net assets to be subject to  repurchase
      agreements  having a maturity beyond seven days.  There is no limit on the
      amount  of the  Trust's  net  assets  that may be  subject  to  repurchase
      agreements of 7 days or less.

Illiquid and Restricted  Securities.  Investments  may be illiquid  because they
      have no active  trading  market,  making  it  difficult  to value  them or
      dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted  security is
      one that  has a  contractual  limit on  resale  or  which  cannot  be sold
      publicly until it is registered  under federal  securities laws. The Trust
      will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or  restricted
      securities.  That limit does not apply to  certain  restricted  securities
      that are eligible for resale to qualified  institutional  purchasers.  The
      Trust may  invest up to 25% of its net  assets in  restricted  securities,
      subject to the 10% limit on illiquid securities and restricted  securities
      other than those sold to qualified institutional  purchasers.  The Manager
      monitors holdings of illiquid  securities on an ongoing basis to determine
      whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity. Difficulty in
      selling a security may result in a loss to the Trust or additional costs.

The Trust's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Trust seeks the maximum short-term
interest  income exempt from federal  income taxes that is  consistent  with low
capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity.

WHAT DOES THE TRUST INVEST IN? The Trust is a money market fund. It invests in a
variety of high-quality  money market  instruments to seek income.  Money market
instruments are short-term,  U.S.  dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by
the  U.S.   government,   domestic  and  foreign   corporations   and  financial
institutions and other entities.  They include,  for example,  bank obligations,
repurchase  agreements,  commercial paper,  other corporate debt obligations and
government debt  obligations.  To be considered  "high-quality,"  generally they
must be rated in one of the two highest credit-quality categories for short-term
securities by nationally recognized rating services. If unrated, a security must
be determined by the Trust's  investment  manager to be of comparable quality to
rated securities.

      The Trust normally invests 100% of its assets in municipal securities.  It
will not make any  investment  that will reduce the portion of its total  assets
that are invested in municipal  securities  to less than 80%. The balance of the
Trust's  assets may be  invested  in  investments  the income  from which may be
taxable.  The Trust will not invest more than 20% of its net assets in municipal
securities the income on which may be a tax preference  item that would increase
an individual investor's alternative minimum tax.

WHO IS THE TRUST  DESIGNED  FOR? The Trust is designed for investors who want to
earn income at current  money market rates while  preserving  the value of their
investment,  because the Trust  tries to keep its share  price  stable at $1.00.
Income on short-term money market  instruments  tends to be lower than income on
longer term debt securities,  so the Trust's yield will likely be lower than the
yield on  longer-term  fixed  income  funds.  The Trust  does not invest for the
purpose  of  seeking  capital  appreciation  or  gains  and  is  not a  complete
investment program.

All  investments  carry  risks  to  some  degree.  Funds  that  invest  in  debt
obligations  for income may be subject to credit risks and interest  rate risks.
However,  the Trust's investments must meet strict standards set by its Board of

diversifying  the Trust's  investments  among issuers to reduce the effects of a

Trust's shares.

      Even so, there are risks that any of the Trust's  holdings  could have its

      The Trust's investment  manager,  Centennial Asset Management  Corporation
(referred  to in this  Prospectus  as the  Manager)  tries  to  reduce  risks by

The Trust's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show how the  Trust's  returns may vary over time,
by showing changes in the Trust's performance from year to year for the last ten
calendar  years and  average  annual  total  returns for the 1-, 5- and 10- year
periods.  Variability  of returns is one measure of the risks of  investing in a
money market fund. The Trust's past investment  performance does not predict how
the Trust will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (as of 12/31 each year)

[See appendix to prospectus for annual total return data for bar chart.]

For the period from 1/1/99  through  9/30/99 the  cumulative  total  return (not

Fees and Expenses of the Trust

The  Trust  pays a variety  of  expenses  directly  for  investment  management,
administration  and other  services.  Those  expenses  are  subtracted  from the
Trust's  assets to  calculate  the  Trust's  net  asset  value  per  share.  All
shareholders  therefore pay those expenses indirectly.  The following tables are
meant to help you  understand  the fees and  expenses you may pay if you buy and
hold shares of the Trust.  The numbers below are based upon the Trust's expenses
during its fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.

SHAREHOLDER  FEES.  The Trust does not charge any  initial  sales  charge to buy
shares or to reinvest  dividends.  There are no exchange fees or redemption fees
and no  contingent  deferred  sales  charges  (unless  you buy  Trust  shares by
exchanging Class A shares of other eligible funds that were purchased subject to
a contingent deferred sales charge, as described in "How to Sell Shares").

EXAMPLE.  The  following  example is  intended  to help you  compare the cost of
investing in the Trust with the cost of investing  in other  mutual  funds.  The
example  assumes  that you  invest  $10,000  in shares of the Trust for the time
periods  indicated and reinvest your  dividends and  distributions.  The example
also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Trust's
operating  expenses  remain the same.  Your actual costs may be higher or lower,
because expenses will vary over time.  Based on these  assumptions your expenses
would be as  follows,  whether or not you redeem your  investment  at the end of
each period:

About the Trust's Investments

THE TRUST'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Trust invests in short-term money
market  securities  meeting  quality,  maturity  and  diversification  standards
established by its Board of Trustees as well as rules that apply to money market
funds under the Investment Company Act. The Statement of Additional  Information
contains more detailed  information  about the Trust's  investment  policies and
risks.

What  Does the Trust  Invest In?  Money  market  instruments  are  high-quality,
      short-term  debt  instruments.  They may have fixed,  variable or floating
      interest rates. All of the Trust's money market  investments must meet the
      special quality and maturity requirements set under the Investment Company
      Act and the special  standards set by the Board  described  briefly below.
      The  following  is a  brief  description  of the  types  of  money  market
      instruments the Trust may invest in.

  o  Municipal  Securities.   The  Trust  buys  municipal  bonds  and  notes,
     tax-exempt  commercial  paper,  certificates of  participation in municipal
     leases and other debt obligations. These are debt obligations issued by the
     governments of states, their political  subdivisions (such as cities, towns
     and  counties),  or  the  District  of  Columbia,  or  by  their  agencies,
     instrumentalities and authorities,  if the interest paid on the security is
     not subject to federal individual income tax in the opinion of bond counsel
     to the issuer.  All of these types of debt  obligations  are referred to as
     "municipal securities" in this Prospectus.

o    Other Money Market Obligations. Additionally, the Trust may buy other money
     market  instruments that the Manager  approves under procedures  adopted by
     the  Board of  Trustees.  They must be U.S.  dollar-denominated  short-term
     investments that the Manager must determine to have minimal credit risks.

What  Standards Apply to the Trust's  Investments?  Money market instruments are
      subject to credit  risk,  the risk that the issuer  might not make  timely
      payments of interest on the  security or repay  principal  when it is due.
      The Trust may buy only those  investments  that meet  standards set by the
      Board of  Trustees  and in the  Investment  Company  Act for money  market
      funds. The Trust's Board has adopted evaluation procedures for the Trust's
      portfolio,  and the  Manager has the  responsibility  to  implement  those
      procedures when selecting investments for the Trust.

      In general, the Trust buys only high-quality investments that the Manager
believes present minimal credit risk at the time of purchase.  "High-quality"
investments are:

o rated in one of the two highest  short-term  rating categories of two national
rating organizations, or

o rated by one rating  organization in one of its two highest rating  categories
(if only one rating organization has rated the investment), or

o unrated  investments that the Manager  determines are comparable in quality to
the two highest rating categories.

      The  procedures  also limit the amount of the  Trust's  assets that can be
invested in the  securities of any one issuer  (other than the U.S.  government,
its agencies and instrumentalities), to spread the Trust's investment risks. The
Trust must also maintain an average portfolio maturity of not more than 90 days,
to reduce  interest  rate risks.  Additionally,  the  remaining  maturity of any
single portfolio investment may not exceed 397 days.

Can   the  Trust's  Investment  Objective  and  Policies  Change?  The  Board of
      Trustees  of  the  Trust  can  change  non-fundamental   policies  without
      shareholder  approval,  although  significant changes will be described in
      amendments  to this  Prospectus.  Fundamental  policies  cannot be changed
      without  the  approval of a majority  of the  Trust's  outstanding  voting
      shares. The Trust's  investment  objective is a fundamental  policy.  Some
      investment  restrictions  that are  fundamental  polices are listed in the
      Statement  of  Additional   Information.   An  investment  policy  is  not
      fundamental   unless  this  Prospectus  or  the  Statement  of  Additional
      Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.  To seek its objective,  the Trust can also use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Trust might not always
use all of these  techniques and strategies.  These  techniques  involve certain
risks. The Statement of Additional  Information  contains more information about
some of these practices, including limitations on their use that are designed to
reduce some of the risks.

Floating  Rate/Variable  Rate Notes.  The Trust can  purchase  investments  with
      floating or variable  interest  rates.  Variable  rates are  adjustable at
      stated  periodic  intervals.  Floating  rates are  adjusted  automatically
      according to a specified market rate or benchmark,  such as the prime rate
      of a bank.  If the maturity of an  investment is greater than 397 days, it
      may be purchased only if it has a demand feature. That feature must permit
      the Trust to recover the  principal  amount of the  investment on not more
      than thirty days' notice at any time, or at specified  times not exceeding
      397 days from purchase.

"When-Issued"  and  "Delayed-Delivery"  Transactions.  The  Trust  can  purchase
      municipal  securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis and may purchase or sell
      such  securities  on a  "delayed-  delivery"  basis.  These terms refer to
      securities that have been created and for which a market exists, but which
      are not  available for  immediate  delivery.  The Trust does not intend to
      make such purchases for  speculative  purposes.  During the period between
      the  purchase and  settlement,  no payment is made for the security and no
      interest accrues to the buyer from the investment. There is a risk of loss
      to the Trust if the value of the security declines prior to the settlement
      date.

Municipal  Lease  Obligations.  Municipal  leases  are used by state  and  local
      government  authorities  to obtain  funds to acquire  land,  equipment  or
      facilities.  The Trust may invest in  certificates of  participation  that
      represent a proportionate  interest in payments made under municipal lease
      obligations.  If the  government  stops making  payments or transfers  its
      payment  obligations to a private entity,  the obligation could lose value
      or  become  taxable.  Some of these  obligations  might not have an active
      trading  market and would be subject to the Trust's  limits on  "illiquid"
      securities  described  below.  From time to time the Trust may invest more
      than 5% of its net assets in municipal lease  obligations that the Manager
      has  determined to be liquid under  guidelines set by the Trust's Board of
      Trustees.

Repurchase  Agreements.  The Trust may enter into  repurchase  agreements.  In a
      repurchase transaction, the Trust buys a security and simultaneously sells
      it to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must
      be fully  collateralized.  However,  if the vendor fails to pay the resale
      price on the delivery  date, the Trust may incur costs in disposing of the
      collateral and may experience  losses if there is any delay in its ability
      to do so. The Trust ordinarily will not enter into repurchase transactions
      that will  cause  more than 10% of the  Trusts net assets to be subject to
      repurchase  agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. However,  when
      the Trust assumes a temporary defensive position, there is no limit on the
      amount of the Trust's assets that may be subject to repurchase  agreements
      having a  maturity  of seven  days or less.  Income  earned on  repurchase
      transactions  is  not  tax-exempt.  The  Trust  normally  will  limit  its
      investments in repurchase transactions to 20% of its total assets.

Illiquid and Restricted  Securities.  Investments  may be illiquid  because they
      have no active  trading  market,  making  it  difficult  to value  them or
      dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted  security is
      one that  has a  contractual  limit on  resale  or  which  cannot  be sold
      publicly until it is registered  under federal  securities laws. The Trust
      will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or  restricted
      securities.  That limit does not apply to  certain  restricted  securities
      that are eligible for resale to qualified  institutional  purchasers.  The
      Manager  monitors  holdings of illiquid  securities on an ongoing basis to
      determine  whether to sell any  holdings to maintain  adequate  liquidity.
      Difficulty  in  selling a  security  may  result in a loss to the Trust or
      additional costs.

DemandFeatures and Guarantees.  The Trust may invest a significant percentage of
      its assets in municipal  securities that have demand features,  guarantees
      or similar credit and liquidity enhancements. A demand feature permits the
      holder of the security to sell the security  within a specified  period of
      time at a stated  price and entitles the holder of the security to receive
      an amount equal to the  approximate  amortized  cost of the security  plus
      accrued  interest.  These  securities  are  described in the  Statement of
      Additional Information.
Temporary Investments.  In times of unstable or adverse market or economic
      conditions, the Trust can invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary
      defensive investments.  These temporary investments can include:

     o obligations  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government or its agencies
     or instrumentalities,

     o bankers'  acceptances;  taxable  commercial  paper  rated in the  highest
     category by a Rating Organization,

     o  short-term  taxable  debt  obligations  rated in one of the two  highest
     rating categories of a Rating Organization.

     o certificates of deposit of domestic banks, and

     o repurchase agreements.

      To the  extent  the  Trust  assumes  a  temporary  defensive  position,  a
significant portion of the Trust's distributions may be taxable.

The Trust's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE  TRUST'S  INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVE?  The  Trust  seeks a high  level of
current  income  that is  consistent  with the  preservation  of capital and the
maintenance of liquidity.

WHAT DOES THE TRUST INVEST IN? The Trust is a money market fund. It invests in a
variety of  high-quality  money market  instruments  to seek  income.  The Trust
invests  principally in short-term,  U.S.  dollar-denominated  debt  instruments
issued  by the  U.S.  government,  its  agencies  and  instrumentalities.  To be
considered "high-quality," generally investments must be rated in one of the two
highest  credit-quality  categories  for  short-term  securities  by  nationally
recognized  rating  services.  If unrated,  a security must be determined by the
Trust's investment manager to be of comparable quality to rated securities.

WHO IS THE TRUST  DESIGNED  FOR? The Trust is designed for investors who want to
earn income at current  money market rates while  preserving  the value of their
investment,  because the Trust  tries to keep its share  price  stable at $1.00.
Income on short-term money market  instruments  tends to be lower than income on
longer term debt securities,  so the Trust's yield will likely be lower than the
yield on  longer-term  fixed  income  funds.  The Trust  does not invest for the
purpose  of  seeking  capital  appreciation  or  gains  and  is  not a  complete
investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Trust

All  investments  carry  risks  to  some  degree.  Funds  that  invest  in  debt
obligations  for income may be subject to credit risks and interest  rate risks.
However,  the Trust's investments must meet strict standards set by its Board of
Trustees  following  rules for money  market  funds  under  federal  law.  Those
standards  include  requirements  for  maintaining  high  credit  quality in the
Trust's  portfolio,  a short average portfolio maturity to reduce the effects of
changes  in  interest  rates  on  the  value  of  the  Trust's   securities  and
diversifying  the Trust's  investments  among issuers to reduce the effects of a
default by any one issuer on the Trust's overall  portfolio and the value of the
Trust's shares.

      Even so, there are risks that any of the Trust's  holdings  could have its
credit rating  downgraded,  or the issuer could default,  or that interest rates
could rise sharply,  causing the value of the Trust's investments (and its share
price) to fall. As a result,  there is a risk that the Trust's shares could fall
below  $1.00 per share.  If there is a high  redemption  demand for the  Trust's
shares  that was not  anticipated,  portfolio  securities  might have to be sold
prior to their  maturity  at a loss.  Also,  there is the risk that the value of
your investment could be eroded over time by the effects of inflation,  and that
poor security  selection could cause the Trust to underperform  other funds with
similar objectives.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investment  in the Trust is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit
Insurance  Corporation or any other government agency.  Although the Trust seeks
to preserve the value of your  investment at $1.00 per share,  it is possible to
lose        money        by         investing        in        the        Trust.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Trust's investment  manager,  Centennial Asset Management  Corporation
(referred  to in this  Prospectus  as the  Manager)  tries  to  reduce  risks by
diversifying  investments and by carefully  researching  investments  before the
Trust  buys  them.  The rate of the  Trust's  income  will vary from day to day,
generally  reflecting changes in overall short-term  interest rates. There is no
assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

The Trust's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show how the  Trust's  returns may vary over time,
by showing changes in the Trust's performance from year to year for the last ten
calendar  years and  average  annual  total  returns for the 1-, 5- and 10- year
periods.  Variability  of returns is one measure of the risks of  investing in a
money market fund. The Trust's past investment  performance does not predict how
the Trust will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (as of 12/31 each year)

[See appendix to prospectus for annual total return data for bar chart.]

For the period from 1/1/99  through  9/30/99 the  cumulative  total  return (not
annualized)  was 3.17%.  During the period  shown in the bar chart,  the highest
return (not  annualized)  for a calendar  quarter was 2.19%% (2nd Q '89) and the
lowest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was 0.63% (1st Q '93).

About the Trust's Investments

THE TRUST'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Trust invests in short-term money
market  securities  meeting  quality,  maturity  and  diversification  standards
established by its Board of Trustees as well as rules that apply to money market
funds under the Investment Company Act. The Statement of Additional  Information
contains more detailed  information  about the Trust's  investment  policies and
risks.

What Does the Trust Invest In? Money market instruments are high-quality,
     short-term  debt  instruments.  They may have  fixed,  variable or floating
     interest rates.  All of the Trust's money market  investments must meet the
     special quality and maturity  requirements set under the Investment Company
     Act and the special standards set by the Board described briefly below. The
     following is a brief  description of the types of money market  instruments
     the Trust may invest in.

o    U.S. Government Securities.  The Trust invests mainly in obligations issued
     or  guaranteed   by  the  U.S.   government  or  any  of  its  agencies  or
     instrumentalities.  Some are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury,  such
     as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and are supported by the full faith and
     credit of the United  States.  Other U.S.  government  securities,  such as
     pass-through  certificates  issued  by  the  Government  National  Mortgage
     Association  (Ginnie Mae),  are also supported by the full faith and credit
     of  the  U.S.   government.   Some  government   securities,   agencies  or
     instrumentalities  of the U.S. government are supported by the right of the
     issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury,  such as securities of the Federal
     National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae). Others may be supported only by
     the credit of the instrumentality,  such as obligations of the Federal Home
     Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

o    Other  Money  Market  Obligations.  The Trust may invest in  variable  rate
     notes,  variable rate master  demand notes or in master  demand notes.  The
     Trust may also purchase  other debt  obligations  that mature within twelve
     months from the date of purchase.  It may purchase  debt  obligations  that
     have been called for redemption by the issuer if the redemption  will occur
     within one year.

      Additionally,  the Trust may buy other money market  instruments  that the
Manager approves under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. They must be
U.S.  dollar-denominated  short-term investments that the Manager must determine
to have minimal credit risks.

What  Standards Apply to the Trust's  Investments?  Money market instruments are
      subject to credit  risk,  the risk that the issuer  might not make  timely
      payments of interest on the  security or repay  principal  when it is due.
      The Trust may buy only those  investments  that meet  standards set by the
      Board of  Trustees  and in the  Investment  Company  Act for money  market
      funds. The Trust's Board has adopted evaluation procedures for the Trust's
      portfolio,  and the  Manager has the  responsibility  to  implement  those
      procedures when selecting investments for the Trust.

      In general, the Trust buys only high-quality investments that the Manager
believes present minimal credit risk at the time of purchase.  "High-quality"
investments are:

o rated in one of the two highest  short-term  rating categories of two national
rating organizations, or

o rated by one rating  organization in one of its two highest rating  categories
(if only one rating organization has rated the investment), or

o unrated  investments that the Manager  determines are comparable in quality to
the two highest rating categories.

The  procedures also limit the amount of the Trust's assets that can be invested
     in the  securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S.  government,  its
     agencies and  instrumentalities),  to spread the Trust's  investment risks.
     Under the procedures the Trust can invest without limit in U.S.  government
     securities  because of their limited  investment risks. Some of the Trust's
     investment  restrictions are more restrictive than the standards that apply
     to all money market funds. For example,  as a fundamental policy, the Trust
     may not invest in any debt  instrument  having a maturity  in excess of one
     year  from  the  date of the  investment.  Some of the  Trust's  investment
     restrictions  are more  restrictive  than the  standards  that apply to all
     money market funds. For example, as a fundamental policy, the Trust may not
     invest in any debt instrument  having a maturity in excess of one year from
     the  date  of  the   investment.   Finally,   the  Trust  must  maintain  a
     dollar-weighted  average  portfolio  maturity of not more than 90 days,  to
     reduce interest rate risks.

Can   the  Trust's  Investment  Objective  and  Policies  Change?  The  Board of
      Trustees  of  the  Trust  can  change  non-fundamental   policies  without
      shareholder  approval,  although  significant changes will be described in
      amendments  to this  Prospectus.  Fundamental  policies  cannot be changed
      without  the  approval of a majority  of the  Trust's  outstanding  voting
      shares. The Trust's  investment  objective is a fundamental  policy.  Some
      investment  restrictions  that are  fundamental  polices are listed in the
      Statement  of  Additional   Information.   An  investment  policy  is  not
      fundamental   unless  this  Prospectus  or  the  Statement  of  Additional
      Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.  To seek its objective,  the Trust can also use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Trust might not always
use all of these  techniques and strategies.  These  techniques  involve certain
risks. The Statement of Additional  Information  contains more information about
some of these practices, including limitations on their use that are designed to
reduce some of the risks.

Floating  Rate/Variable  Rate Notes.  The Trust can  purchase  investments  with
      floating or variable  interest  rates.  Variable  rates are  adjustable at
      stated  periodic  intervals.  Floating  rates are  adjusted  automatically
      according to a specified market rate or benchmark,  such as the prime rate
      of a bank.  If the maturity of an  investment is greater than one year, it
      may be purchased only if it has a demand feature. That feature must permit
      the Trust to recover the  principal  amount of the  investment on not more
      than thirty days' notice at any time, or at specified  times not exceeding
      one year from purchase.

Repurchase  Agreements.  The Trust may enter into  repurchase  agreements.  In a
      repurchase transaction, the Trust buys a security and simultaneously sells
      it to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must
      be fully  collateralized.  However,  if the vendor fails to pay the resale
      price on the delivery  date, the Trust may incur costs in disposing of the
      collateral and may experience  losses if there is any delay in its ability
      to do so. The Trust will not enter into repurchase  transactions that will
      cause more than 10% of the  Trusts net assets to be subject to  repurchase
      agreements  having a maturity beyond seven days.  There is no limit on the
      amount  of the  Trust's  net  assets  that may be  subject  to  repurchase
      agreements maturing in seven days or less.

Illiquid and Restricted  Securities.  Investments  may be illiquid  because they
      have no active  trading  market,  making  it  difficult  to value  them or
      dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted  security is
      one that  has a  contractual  limit on  resale  or  which  cannot  be sold
      publicly until it is registered  under federal  securities laws. The Trust
      will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or  restricted
      securities.  That limit does not apply to  certain  restricted  securities
      that are eligible for resale to qualified  institutional  purchasers.  The
      Manager  monitors  holdings of illiquid  securities on an ongoing basis to
      determine  whether to sell any  holdings to maintain  adequate  liquidity.
      Difficulty  in  selling a  security  may  result in a loss to the Trust or
      additional costs.

The information  below applies to Centennial Money Market Trust,  Centennial Tax
Exempt Trust and Centennial  Government  Trust. Each is referred to as a "Trust"
and  they  are  collectively  referred  to as  the  "Trusts".  Unless  otherwise
indicated, this information applies to each Trust.

How the Trusts are Managed

THE MANAGER.  The investment  adviser for the Trusts is the Manager,  Centennial
Asset  Management   Corporation.   The  Manager  chooses  each  of  the  Trust's
investments  and handles its day-to-day  business.  The Manager  carries out its
duties subject to the policies  established  by the Board of Trustees,  under an
Investment  Advisory  Agreement  with  each  Trust  that  states  the  Manager's
responsibilities.  Each Agreement sets the fees paid by the Trust to the Manager
and describes the expenses that the Trust is  responsible  to pay to conduct its
business.

      The Manager,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., has
operated as an investment adviser since 1978. The Manager (including affiliates)
currently  manages  investment  companies  and  other  assets  of more than $110
billion  as of  September  30,  1999,  and with more than 5 million  shareholder
accounts.  The Manager is located at 6803 South Tucson Way, Englewood,  Colorado
80112.

Portfolio Managers.  The portfolio managers of the Trust are the persons
     principally  responsible  for  the  day-to-day  management  of the  Trust's
     portfolio.  The  portfolio  managers of  Centennial  Money Market Trust and
     Centennial  Government  Trust are Carol E.Wolf (since June 1990) and Arthur
     J. Zimmer (since January 1991). Ms. Wolf is a Vice President and Mr. Zimmer
     a Senior  Vice  President  of  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.,  and each is a Vice
     President  of the  Manager and an officer  and  portfolio  manager of other
     funds for which the Manager or an affiliate  serves as investment  adviser.
     The  portfolio  manager of Centennial  Tax Exempt Trust is Michael  Carbuto
     (since October 1987). Mr. Carbuto is a Vice President of the Manager and of
     OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  and is an officer and  portfolio  manager of other
     funds for which the Manager serves as investment adviser.

Advisory Fees.  Under  each  Investment  Advisory  Agreement,  a Trust  pays the
      Manager an  advisory  fee at an annual rate that  declines  on  additional
      assets as the Trust grows.  That fee is computed on the average annual net
      assets of the respective Trust as of the close of each business day.

     o  Centennial  Money Market  Trust.  The annual  management  fee rates are:
     0.500% of the first $250  million of the Trust's net assets;  0.475% of the
     next $250 million; 0.450% of the next $250 million; 0.425% of the next $250
     million;  0.400% of the next $250 million; 0.375% of the next $250 million;
     0.350% of the next $500  million;  and 0.325% of net assets in excess of $2
     billion.  In the Agreement,  the Manager  guarantees that the Trust's total
     expenses in any fiscal  year,  exclusive of taxes,  interest and  brokerage
     commissions, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs, shall not
     exceed the lesser of (1) 1.5% of the average annual net assets of the Trust
     up to $30 million and 1% of its average  annual net assets in excess of $30
     million;  or (2)  25% of  total  annual  investment  income  of the  Trust.
     Centennial  Money Market  Trust's  management fee for its fiscal year ended
     June 30, 1999 was 0.34% of the Trust's average annual net assets.

     o Centennial Government Trust. The annual management fee are: 0.500% of the
     first  $250  million of the  Trust's  net  assets;  0.475% of the next $250
     million;  0.450% of the next $250 million; 0.425% of the next $250 million;
     and 0.400% of the next $250  million;  0.375% of the next $250  million and
     0.350% of net assets in excess of $1.5  billion.  The  Manager has made the
     same  guarantee  to the Trust  regarding  expenses as  described  above for
     Centennial  Money Market Trust.  The Trust's  management fee for its fiscal
     year  ended  June 30,  1999 was 0.45% of the  Trust's  average  annual  net
     assets.

     o Centennial Tax Exempt Trust.  The annual  management fee rates applicable
     to the  Trust are as  follows:  0.500% of the  first  $250  million  of the
     Trust's net  assets;  0.475% of the next $250  million;  0.450% of the next
     $250  million;  0.425%  of the next $250  million;  0.400% of the next $250
     million;  0.375% of the next $250 million;  0.350% of the next $500 million
     and 0.325% of net assets in excess of $2 billion. Under the Agreement, when
     the value of the Trust's net assets is less than $1.5  billion,  the annual
     fee  payable to the Manager  shall be reduced by $100,000  based on average
     net assets  computed  daily and paid monthly at the annual rates.  However,
     the annual fee cannot be less than $0. The Trust's  management  fee for its
     fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 was 0.42% of the Trust's average annual net
     assets.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES.  Because many  computer  software  systems in use today cannot
distinguish  the year 2000 from the year 1900,  the  markets for  securities  in
which the Trust invests  could be  detrimentally  affected by computer  failures
beginning  January 1, 2000.  Failure of  computer  systems  used for  securities
trading  could result in  settlement  and  liquidity  problems for the Trust and
other  investors.  That failure could have a negative  impact on the handling of
securities trades,  pricing and accounting  services.  Data processing errors by
government issuers of securities could result in economic uncertainties. Issuers
might incur substantial  costs in attempting to prevent or fix such errors,  all
of which could have a negative effect on the Trust's investments and returns.

      The Manager,  the  Distributor and the Transfer Agent have been working on
necessary  changes  to their  computer  systems  to deal  with the year 2000 and
expect that their systems will be adapted in time for that event, although there
cannot be assurance of success.  Additionally,  the services they provide depend
on the interaction of their computer systems with those of brokers,  information
services, the Trust's custodian bank and other parties.  Therefore,  any failure
of the computer  systems of those  parties to deal with the year 2000 might also
have a negative effect on the services they provide to the Trust.  The extent of
that risk cannot be ascertained at this time.

How to Buy Shares

HOW ARE SHARE PRICES DETERMINED? Shares of each Trust are sold at their offering
price,  which is the net asset value per share without any sales charge. The net
asset value per share will  normally  remain fixed at $1.00 per share.  However,
there is no  guarantee  that a Trust will be able to maintain a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share.

      The offering  price that applies to a purchase  order is based on the next
calculation   of  the  net  asset  value  per  share  that  is  made  after  the
Sub-Distributor  (OppenheimerFunds  Distributor, Inc. is the Sub-Distributor for
each Trust) receives the purchase order at its offices in Denver,  Colorado,  or
after any agent appointed by the Sub-Distributor receives the order and sends it
to the Sub-Distributor as described below.

How   is a Trust's Net Asset Value Determined?  The net asset value of shares of
      each Trust is  determined  twice each day, at 12:00 Noon and at 4:00 P.M.,
      on each day The New York Stock  Exchange is open for trading  (referred to
      in this Prospectus as a "regular business day"). All references to time in
      this Prospectus mean "New York time."

      The net asset value per share is  determined  by  dividing  the value of a
Trust's net assets by the number of shares that are outstanding.  Under a policy
adopted by the Board of Trustees of the  Trusts,  each Trust uses the  amortized
cost method to value its securities to determine net asset value.

      The shares of each Trust offered by this  Prospectus  are considered to be
Class A shares for the purposes of exchanging them or reinvesting  distributions
among other eligible funds that offer more than one class of shares.

IS THERE A MINIMUM INVESTMENT?  There is a minimum initial investment  described
below depending on how you buy and pay for your shares.  You can make additional
investments  at  any  time  with  as  little  as  $25.  The  minimum  investment
requirements do not apply to reinvesting  distributions  from the Trust or other
eligible  funds  (a  list  of  them  appears  in  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information,  or you  can ask  your  dealer  or  call  the  Transfer  Agent)  or
reinvesting   distributions   from  unit   investment   trusts  that  have  made
arrangements with the Distributor.

HOW ARE SHARES PURCHASED? You can buy shares in one of several ways:

BuyingShares Through a Dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption  Program.  You
      can buy  shares  of a  Trust  through  a  broker-dealer  that  has a sales
      agreement  with the  Trust's  Sub-Distributor  that  allows  shares  to be
      purchased through the dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption  Program.
      Shares of each Trust are sold mainly to customers of participating dealers
      that offer the Trusts' shares under these special  purchase  programs.  If
      you   participate  in  an  Automatic   Purchase  and  Redemption   Program
      established by your dealer,  your dealer buys shares of the Trust for your
      account  with  the  dealer.  Program  participants  should  also  read the
      description of the program provided by their dealer.

Buying Shares  Through Your  Dealer. If you do not  participate  in an Automatic
      Purchase and Redemption Program, you may buy shares of a Trust through any
      broker-dealer  that has a sales agreement with the  Sub-Distributor.  Your
      dealer will place your order with the Sub-Distributor on your behalf.

Buying Shares Directly Through the Sub-Distributor. You can also purchase shares
      directly  through the  Sub-Distributor.  Shareholders  who make  purchases
      directly  and hold  shares in their own names are  referred  to as "direct
      shareholders" in this Prospectus.

      The  Sub-Distributor  may appoint servicing agents to accept purchase (and
redemption) orders,  including  broker-dealers  that have established  Automatic
Purchase and Redemption Programs.  The Sub-Distributor,  in its sole discretion,
may reject any purchase order for shares of a Trust.

AUTOMATIC PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION PROGRAMS? If you buy shares of a Trust through
your   broker-dealer's   Automatic   Purchase  and  Redemption   Program,   your
broker-dealer  will buy your shares for your Program  Account and will hold your
shares in your  broker-dealer's  name.  These  purchases  will be made under the
procedures  described in "Guaranteed Payment" below. Your Automatic Purchase and
Redemption Program Account may have minimum investment requirements  established
by your  broker-dealer.  You should  direct all questions  about your  Automatic
Purchase  and  Redemption  Program to your  broker-dealer,  because  the Trusts'
transfer agent does not have access to information about your account under that
Program.

Guaranteed Payment  Procedures.  Some  broker-dealers may have arrangements with
      the  Sub-Distributor to enable them to place purchase orders for shares of
      a Trust and to  guarantee  that the Trust's  custodian  bank will  receive
      Federal   Funds  to  pay  for  the  shares  prior  to   specified   times.
      Broker-dealers   whose  clients  participate  in  Automatic  Purchase  and
      Redemption Programs may use these guaranteed payment procedures to pay for
      purchases of shares of a Trust.

o     If the  Distributor  receives  a  purchase  order  before  12:00 Noon on a
      regular business day with the  broker-dealer's  guarantee that the Trust's
      custodian  bank will receive  payment for those shares in Federal Funds by
      2:00 P.M.  on that same day,  the order will be  effected at the net asset
      value  determined  at 12:00  Noon that day.  Distributions  will  begin to
      accrue on the shares on that day if the Federal  Funds are received by the
      required time.

o     If the Distributor receives a purchase order after 12:00 Noon on a regular
      business day with the broker-dealer's guarantee that the Trust's custodian
      bank will receive  payment for those shares in Federal  Funds by 2:00 P.M.
      on that  same day,  the  order  will be  effected  at the net asset  value
      determined  at 4:00 P.M. that day.  Distributions  will begin to accrue on
      the shares on that day if the Federal  Funds are  received by the required
      time.

o     If the  Distributor  receives a purchase order between 12:00 Noon and 4:00
      P.M. on a regular business day with the broker-dealer's guarantee that the
      Trust's  custodian  bank will receive  payment for those shares in Federal
      Funds by 4:00 P.M.  the next  regular  business  day,  the  order  will be
      effected  at the net asset  value  determined  at 4:00 P.M. on the day the
      order is  received  and  distributions  will begin to accrue on the shares
      purchased  on the next  regular  business  day if the  Federal  Funds  are
      received by the required time.

HOW CAN DIRECT SHAREHOLDERS BUY SHARES?  Direct shareholders may buy shares of a
Trust by completing a Centennial  Funds New Account  Application  (enclosed with
this  Prospectus)  and  sending  it  to  the  Sub-Distributor,  OppenheimerFunds
Distributor,  Inc., P.O. Box 5143, Denver,  Colorado 80217. Payment must be made
by check or by Federal Funds wire as described below. If you don't list a dealer
on the application,  OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc., the  Sub-Distributor,
will act as your agent in buying the  shares.  However,  we  recommend  that you
discuss your investment  with a financial  adviser before you make a purchase to
be sure that the Trust is appropriate for you.

      Each Trust  intends to be as fully  invested as  possible to maximize  its
yield.   Therefore,   newly-purchased  shares  normally  will  begin  to  accrue
distributions  after the  Sub-Distributor  or its agent  accepts  your  purchase
order,  starting on the business day after the Trust receives Federal Funds from
the purchase payment.

Payment by Check. Direct shareholders may pay for purchases of shares of a Trust
      by check.  Send your  check,  payable  to  "OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,
      Inc.,"  along with your  Application  to the  address  listed  above.  For
      initial purchases,  your check should be payable in U.S. dollars and drawn
      on a U.S.  bank so that  distributions  will  begin to  accrue on the next
      regular business day after the Distributor accepts your purchase order. If
      your check is not drawn on a U.S. bank and is not payable in U.S. dollars,
      the shares will not be purchased  until the Distributor is able to convert
      the purchase  payment to Federal Funds.  In that case  distributions  will
      begin to accrue on the purchased  shares on the next regular  business day
      after the  purchase is made.  The minimum  initial  investment  for direct
      shareholders by check is $500.

Payment by Federal  Funds Wire.  Direct  shareholders  may pay for  purchases of
      shares  of a Trust by  Federal  Funds  wire.  You must also  forward  your
      Application to the Sub-Distributor's  address listed above. Before sending
      a wire,  call the  Sub-Distributor's  Wire  Department  at  1-800-525-9310
      (toll-free from within the U.S.) or  303-768-3200  (from outside the U.S.)
      to  notify  the  Sub-Distributor  of  the  wire,  and to  receive  further
      instructions.

      Distributions will begin to accrue on the purchased shares on the purchase
date that is a regular  business day if the Federal Funds from your wire and the
Application are received by the  Sub-Distributor  and accepted by 12:00 Noon. If
the  Distributor  receives  the  Federal  Funds from your wire and  accepts  the
purchase   order  between  12:00  Noon  and  4:00  P.M  on  the  purchase  date,
distributions  will begin to accrue on the shares on the next  regular  business
day. The minimum investment by Federal Funds Wire is $2,500.

Buying Shares  Through  Automatic  Investment  Plans.  Direct  shareholders  can
     purchase  shares of a Trust  automatically  each month by  authorizing  the
     Trust's  Transfer  Agent to debit your account at a U.S.  domestic  bank or
     other financial  institution.  Details are in the Automatic Investment Plan
     Application  and the  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  The  minimum
     monthly purchase is $25.

Service (12b-1) Plans.  Each Trust has adopted a service plan. It reimburses the
      Distributor  for a portion of its costs incurred for services  provided to
      accounts that hold shares of the Trust. Reimbursement is made quarterly at
      an annual  rate of up to 0.20% of the  average  annual  net  assets of the
      Trust.  The  Distributor  currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers,
      brokers,  banks and other financial  institutions  quarterly for providing
      personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold
      shares of the Trust.

Retirement Plans. Direct shareholders may buy shares of a Trust for a retirement
      plan account. If you participate in a plan sponsored by your employer, the
      plan trustee or  administrator  must buy the shares for your plan account.
      The  Sub-Distributor  also offers a number of different  retirement  plans
      that can be used by individuals and employers:
o     Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs),  including regular IRAs, Roth IRAs,
      rollover IRAs and Education IRAs.
o     SEP-IRAs,  which  are  Simplified  Employee  Pensions  Plan IRAs for small
      business owners or self-employed individuals.
o     403(b)(7)  Custodial  Plans,  that are tax deferred plans for employees of
      eligible  tax-exempt  organizations,   such  as  schools,   hospitals  and
      charitable organizations.
o      401(k) Plans, which are special retirement plans for businesses.
o     Pension  and   Profit-Sharing   Plans,   designed  for   businesses  and
      self-employed individuals.

      Please call the  Sub-Distributor  for  retirement  plan  documents,  which
include applications and important plan information.

How to Sell Shares

You can sell  (redeem)  some or all of your shares on any regular  business day.
Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your order
is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with the  procedures
described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent.

HOW CAN PROGRAM  PARTICIPANTS  SELL SHARES?  If you  participate in an Automatic
Purchase and Redemption Program sponsored by your broker-dealer, you must redeem
shares held in your Program  Account by contacting your  broker-dealer  firm, or
you can  redeem  shares by writing  checks as  described  below.  You should not
contact the Trust or its Transfer  Agent  directly to redeem shares held in your
Program Account.  You may also arrange (but only through your  broker-dealer) to
have the  proceeds  of redeemed  Trust  shares  sent by Federal  Funds wire,  as
described below in "Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire."

HOW CAN DIRECT SHAREHOLDERS REDEEM SHARES?  Direct shareholders can redeem their
shares by writing a letter to the Transfer Agent, Shareholder Services, Inc., by
using checkwriting  privileges,  or by telephone.  You can also set up Automatic
Withdrawal  Plans to redeem  shares on a regular  basis.  If you have  questions
about any of these  procedures,  and especially if you are redeeming shares in a
special  situation,  such as due to the death of the owner or from a  retirement
plan  account,   please  call  the  Transfer  Agent  for  assistance  first,  at
1-800-525-9310.

Certain Requests  Require a  Signature  Guarantee.  To protect you and the Trust
      from fraud,  the  following  redemption  requests  for  accounts of direct
      shareholders  must be in writing and must  include a  signature  guarantee
      (although  there may be other  situations  that also  require a  signature
      guarantee):
   o  You wish to redeem $100,000 or more and receive a check

   o   The  redemption  check is not payable to all  shareholders  listed on the
       account statement

   o  The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account
      statement

     o    Shares are being  transferred to an account with a different  owner or
          name

     o    Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor)  other than
          the owners listed in the account registration

Where Can Direct  Shareholders  Have Their Signatures  Guaranteed?  The Transfer
      Agent will accept a guarantee  of your  signature by a number of financial
      institutions, including:
o      a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o      a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o      a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or
      government securities, or
o    a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities  association
     or a clearing agency.

      If you are  signing  on  behalf  of a  corporation,  partnership  or other
business or as a fiduciary, you must also include your title in the signature.

How Can Direct Shareholders Sell Shares by Mail?  Write a letter to the Transfer
      Agent that includes:
   o  Your name

How   Can Direct Shareholders Sell Shares by Telephone?  Direct shareholders and
      their dealer  representative  of record may also sell shares by telephone.
      To enable you to receive the redemption  price on a regular  business day,
      the Transfer  Agent must receive the request by 4:00 P.M. on that day. You
      may not redeem  shares held under a share  certificate  or in a retirement
      account by telephone.  To redeem shares through a service  representative,
      call 1-800-525-9310.  The check for proceeds of telephone redemptions will
      be payable to the shareholder(s) of record and will be sent to the address
      of record for the account.  Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by telephone in
      any 7-day period.  Telephone  redemptions are not available within 30 days
      of changing the address on an account.

Retirement Plan Accounts.  There are special procedures to sell shares held in a
      retirement  plan  account.  Call the  Transfer  Agent  for a  distribution
      request  form.  Special  income  tax  withholding  requirements  apply  to
      distributions  from retirement  plans.  You must submit a withholding form
      with your  redemption  request to avoid delay in getting your money and if
      you do not want tax withheld.  If your employer holds your retirement plan
      account for you in the name of the plan,  you must ask the plan trustee or
      administrator  to  request  the  sale of the  Trust  shares  in your  plan
      account.

Sending Redemption  Proceeds By Wire.  While the Transfer  Agent  normally sends
      direct  shareholders  their  money by check,  you can  arrange to have the
      proceeds  of the  shares  you sell sent by  Federal  Funds  wire to a bank
      account you  designate.  It must be a commercial  bank that is a member of
      the Federal Reserve wire system.  The minimum redemption you can have sent
      by wire is $2,500.  There is a $10 fee for each  wire.  To find out how to
      set  up  this  feature  on  an  account  or  to  arrange  a  wire,  direct
      shareholders should call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-525-9310. If you hold
      your shares  through  your  dealer's  Automatic  Purchase  and  Redemption
      Program, you must contact your dealer to arrange a Federal Funds wire.

Can   Direct  Shareholders  Submit Requests by Fax? Direct shareholders may send
      requests for certain types of account  transactions  to the Transfer Agent
      by fax  (telecopier).  Please call  1-800-525-9310  for information  about
      which transactions may be handled this way. Transaction requests submitted
      by fax are  subject to the same  rules and  restrictions  as  written  and
      telephone requests described in this Prospectus.

HOW DO I WRITE CHECKS  AGAINST MY ACCOUNT?  Automatic  Purchase  and  Redemption
Program  participants  may write  checks  against  an account  held under  their
Program,  but must arrange for  checkwriting  privileges  through their dealers.
Direct  shareholders  may write checks against their account by requesting  that
privilege on the account  Application  or by contacting  the Transfer  Agent for
signature cards. They must be signed (with a signature  guarantee) by all owners
of the account and returned to the Transfer  Agent so that checks can be sent to
you to use. Shareholders with joint accounts can elect in writing to have checks
paid over the signature of one owner.

   o  Checks can be written to the order of  whomever  you wish,  but may not be
      cashed at the bank the checks are payable through or the Trust's custodian
      bank
   o  Checkwriting privileges are not available for accounts holding shares that
      are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
   o  Checks must be written for at least $250.
   o Checks cannot be paid if they are written for more than your account value.
   o You may not write a check that would require the redemption of shares that
      were purchased by check or Automatic  Investment  Plan payments within the
      prior 10 days.
   o  Don't use your  checks  if you  changed  your  account  number,  until you
      receive new checks.

WILL I PAY A SALES CHARGE WHEN I SELL MY SHARES? The Trust does not charge a fee
to  redeem  shares  of a Trust  that  were  bought  directly  or by  reinvesting
distributions  from that Trust or another  Centennial  Trust or  eligible  fund.
Generally,  there is no fee to redeem  shares of a Trust  bought by  exchange of
shares of another Centennial Trust or eligible fund. However,

o     if you acquired shares of a Trust by exchanging  Class A shares of another
      eligible fund that you bought  subject to the Class A contingent  deferred
      sales charge, and
o     those shares are still  subject to the Class A contingent  deferred  sales
      charge when you exchange them into the Trust, then
o     you will pay the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge if you redeem  those
      shares from the Trust within 18 months of the purchase  date of the shares
      of the fund you exchanged.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of a Trust can be exchanged for shares of certain other Centennial Trusts
or other eligible  funds,  depending on whether you own your shares through your
dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program or as a direct shareholder.

HOW CAN PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS EXCHANGE SHARES? If you participate in an Automatic
Purchase  and  Redemption  Program  sponsored  by  your  broker-dealer,  you may
exchange  shares held in your  Program  Account for shares of  Centennial  Money
Market  Trust,   Centennial  Government  Trust,  Centennial  Tax  Exempt  Trust,
Centennial  California Tax Exempt Trust and Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
(referred to in this  Prospectus as the "Centennial  Trusts"),  if available for
sale in your state of residence, by contacting your broker- dealer and obtaining
a Prospectus of the selected Centennial Trust.

HOW CAN DIRECT  SHAREHOLDERS  EXCHANGE SHARES?  Direct shareholders can exchange
shares of a Trust for Class A shares of  certain  eligible  funds  listed in the
Statement of Additional  Information.  To exchange shares, you must meet several
conditions:

   o  Shares of the fund  selected  for exchange  must be available  for sale in
      your state of residence.
   o  The  prospectuses  of the Trust and the fund whose  shares you want to buy
      must offer the exchange privilege.
   o  You must hold the shares you buy when you  establish  your  account for at
      least 7 days  before you can  exchange  them.  After the account is open 7
      days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.
   o  You must meet the minimum purchase  requirements for the fund you purchase
      by exchange.
   o Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.

      Shares of a particular class of an eligible fund may be exchanged only for
shares of the same class in other eligible funds. For example,  you can exchange
shares of a Trust only for Class A shares of another fund,  and you can exchange
only Class A shares of another eligible fund for shares of a Trust.

      You may pay a sales  charge when you exchange  shares of a Trust.  Because
shares of the Trusts are sold without sales charge,  in some cases you may pay a
sales  charge when you exchange  shares of a Trust for shares of other  eligible
funds that are sold subject to a sales  charge.  You will not pay a sales charge
when you exchange shares of a Trust purchased by reinvesting  distributions from
that Trust or other eligible funds (except  Oppenheimer Cash Reserves),  or when
you  exchange  shares of a Trust  purchased by exchange of shares of an eligible
fund on which you paid a sales charge.

      For tax purposes,  exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the
fund you own and a purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result in
a capital gain or loss.  Since shares of a Trust  normally  maintain a $1.00 net
asset  value,  in most cases you should not realize a capital  gain or loss when
you sell or exchange your shares.

      Direct  shareholders can find a list of eligible funds currently available
for exchanges in the Statement of Additional  Information  or you can obtain one
by calling a service  representative  at  1-800-525-9310.  The list of  eligible
funds can change from time to time.

How Do Direct Shareholders Submit Exchange Requests?  Direct shareholders may
      request exchanges in writing or by telephone:

   o  Written Exchange Requests. Complete an Exchange Authorization Form, signed
      by all owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at the address
      on the back cover.

   o  Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  Telephone exchange requests may be made by
      calling a service  representative at 1-800-525-9310.  Telephone  exchanges
      may be made  only  between  accounts  that  are  registered  with the same
      name(s) and address.  Shares held under  certificates may not be exchanged
      by telephone.

ARE THERE  LIMITATIONS  ON EXCHANGES?  There are certain  exchange  policies you
should be aware of:

o    Shares are normally  redeemed from one fund and purchased  from the other
     fund in the exchange  transaction on the same regular business day on which
     the  Transfer  Agent  receives an  exchange  request  that  conforms to the
     policies  described above.  Requests for exchanges to any of the Centennial
     Trusts  must be received  by the  Transfer  Agent by 4:00 P.M. on a regular
     business  day to be effected  that day.  The  Transfer  Agent must  receive
     requests to exchange  shares of a Trust to funds other than the  Centennial
     Trusts  on a  regular  business  day by the  close  of The New  York  Stock
     Exchange  that day.  The close is normally  4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on
     some days.

   o  Either  fund  may  delay  the  purchase  of  shares  of the  fund  you are
      exchanging   into  up  to  seven  days  if  it   determines  it  would  be
      disadvantaged  by a same-day  exchange.  For  example,  the receipt of the
      multiple  exchange  requests from a "market timer" might require a fund to
      sell securities at a disadvantageous time and/or price.

   o  Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance and harm shareholders,
      the Trusts  reserve the right to refuse any exchange  request that may, in
      the  opinion of the  Trusts,  be  disadvantageous,  or to refuse  multiple
      exchange requests submitted by a shareholder or dealer.

   o  The Trusts may amend,  suspend or terminate the exchange  privilege at any
      time. The Trusts will provide you notice  whenever they are required to do
      so by  applicable  law, but they may impose these  changes at any time for
      emergency purposes.

   o  If the Transfer Agent cannot  exchange all the shares you request  because
      of a restriction  cited above,  only the shares eligible for exchange will
      be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information  about the Trusts' policies and procedures for buying,  selling
and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

The   offering of shares of a Trust may be suspended  during any period in which
      the  Trust's  determination  of net  asset  value  is  suspended,  and the
      offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time it believes
      it is in a Trust's best interest to do so.

Telephone Transaction Privileges for purchases,  redemptions or exchanges may be
      modified,  suspended or  terminated  by a Trust at any time. If an account
      has more than one owner,  a Trust and the  Transfer  Agent may rely on the
      instructions of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply to each owner of
      the account and the dealer representative of record for the account unless
      the Transfer Agent receives cancellation instructions from an owner of the
      account.

The   Transfer Agent will record any telephone  calls to verify data  concerning
      transactions.  It has adopted other  procedures to confirm that  telephone
      instructions   are   genuine,   by   requiring   callers  to  provide  tax
      identification  numbers  and other  account  data and by  confirming  such
      transactions  in writing.  The  Transfer  Agent and the Trusts will not be
      liable  for  losses or  expenses  arising  out of  telephone  instructions
      reasonably believed to be genuine.

Redemption or transfer  requests  will not be honored  until the Transfer  Agent
      receives all required  documents  in proper form.  From time to time,  the
      Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements for
      redemptions stated in this Prospectus.

Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by check
      or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by the shareholder) within seven days
      after the Transfer Agent receives redemption  instructions in proper form.
      However,  under unusual  circumstances  determined by the  Securities  and
      Exchange  Commission,  payment may be delayed or  suspended.  For accounts
      registered  in the  name of a  broker-dealer,  payment  will  normally  be
      forwarded within three business days after redemption.

The   Transfer  Agent may  delay  forwarding  a check or  making a  payment  via
      Federal  Funds  wire for  recently  purchased  shares,  but only until the
      purchase  payment has  cleared.  That delay may be as much as 10 days from
      the date the  shares  were  purchased.  That  delay may be  avoided if you
      purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified  check, or arrange with
      your bank to provide  telephone or written assurance to the Transfer Agent
      that your purchase payment has cleared.

Involuntary  redemptions  of small accounts may be made by Centennial Tax Exempt
      Trust if the account  value has fallen  below $500 for reasons  other than
      the fact  that the  market  value of shares  has  dropped.  In some  cases
      involuntary  redemptions  may be made to repay the  Distributor for losses
      from the cancellation of share purchase orders.

"Backup  Withholding"  of  federal  income tax may be  applied  against  taxable
      dividends,  distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges) if
      you fail to furnish the Trust your correct,  certified  Social Security or
      Employer  Identification Number when you sign your application,  or if you
      under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.

To    avoid sending  duplicate  copies of materials to households,  a Trust will
      mail only one copy of each annual and  semi-annual  report to shareholders
      having the same last name and address on a Trust's records.  However, each
      shareholder  may call the  Transfer  Agent at  1-800-525-9310  to ask that
      copies of those materials be sent personally to that shareholder.

Dividends and Tax Information

DIVIDENDS.  Each Trust intends to declare  dividends from net investment  income
each regular business day and to pay those dividends to shareholders  monthly on
a date selected by the Board of Trustees. To maintain a net asset value of $1.00
per share, a Trust might withhold  dividends or make  distributions from capital
or  capital  gains.  Daily  dividends  will  not be  declared  or paid on  newly
purchased  shares until Federal Funds are available to a Trust from the purchase
payment for such shares.

CAPITAL  GAINS.  Each  Trust  normally  holds its  securities  to  maturity  and
therefore  will not usually pay capital  gains.  Although the Trusts do not seek
capital gains, a Trust could realize  capital gains on the sale of its portfolio
securities.  If it does, it may make  distributions out of any net short-term or
long-term  capital gains in December of each year. A Trust may make supplemental
distributions  of dividends  and capital  gains  following the end of its fiscal
year.

What  Choices Do I Have for Receiving Distributions?  For Automatic Purchase and
      Redemption   Programs,   dividends  and  distributions  are  automatically
      reinvested  in  additional  shares  of  the  selected  Trust.  For  direct
      shareholders,  when you open your  account,  you  should  specify  on your
      application how you want to receive your dividends and distributions.  You
      have four options:

o      Reinvest All Distributions in the Trust.  You can elect to reinvest all
      dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the
      selected Trust.
o      Reinvest Capital Gains Only.  You can elect to reinvest capital gains
      distributions in the selected Trust while receiving dividends by check or
      having them sent to your bank account.

o    Receive All  Distributions  in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for
     all  dividends and capital  gains  distributions  or have them sent to your
     bank.

o      Reinvest Your Distributions in Another Account.  You can reinvest all
      distributions in the same class of shares of another eligible fund account
      you have established.

Under  the  terms  of  Automatic   Purchase  and   Redemption   Programs,   your
broker-dealer  can  redeem  shares to  satisfy  debit  balances  arising in your
Program  Account.  If that  occurs,  you will be entitled to  dividends on those
shares as described in your Program Agreements.

TAXES.

Centennial Money Market Trust and Centennial  Government  Trust.  If your shares
      are not held in a tax-deferred  retirement account, you should be aware of
      the following  tax  implications  of investing in Centennial  Money Market
      Trust and Centennial Government Trust.  Dividends paid from net investment
      income  and  short-term  capital  gains are  taxable as  ordinary  income.
      Long-term  capital  gains are  taxable  as  long-term  capital  gains when
      distributed  to  shareholders.  It does not  matter how long you have held
      your shares.  Whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares
      or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

      Every year the Trust  will send you and the IRS a  statement  showing  the
amount of each  taxable  distribution  you received in the  previous  year.  Any
long-term capital gains  distributions will be separately  identified in the tax
information the Trust sends you after the end of the calendar year.

Centennial Tax Exempt Trust.  Exempt interest dividends paid from net investment
      income earned by the Trust on municipal securities will be excludable from
      gross income for federal income tax purposes. A portion of a dividend that
      is derived from interest paid on certain  "private  activity bonds" may be
      an item of tax  preference if you are subject to the  alternative  minimum
      tax. If the Trust earns  interest on taxable  investments,  any  dividends
      derived  from  those  earnings  will be  taxable  as  ordinary  income  to
      shareholders.

      Dividends and capital gains distributions may be subject to state or local
taxes.  Long-term  capital  gains are taxable as  long-term  capital  gains when
distributed  to  shareholders.  It does not  matter  how long you have held your
shares.  Dividends  paid from  short-term  capital gains and non-tax  exempt net
investment  income are taxable as ordinary  income.  Whether you  reinvest  your
distributions  in additional  shares or take them in cash,  the tax treatment is
the same. Every year the Trust will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable  distribution you received in the previous year as well as
the amount of your tax-exempt income.

Remember,  There  May be Taxes on  Transactions.  Because  each  Trust  seeks to
      maintain a stable $1.00 per share net asset value, it is unlikely that you
      will have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares.  A
      capital gain or loss is the difference  between the price you paid for the
      shares and the price you received when you sold them.  Any capital gain is
      subject to capital gains tax.

Returns of Capital Can Occur.  In certain cases,  distributions  made by a Trust
      may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders. If that
      occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

      This  information  is  only  a  summary  of  certain  federal  income  tax
information  about your  investment.  You should  consult  with your tax adviser
about the effect of an investment in a Trust on your particular tax situation.

Financial Highlights

The  Financial  Highlights  Tables are  presented  to help you  understand  each
Trust's  financial   performance  for  the  past  five  fiscal  years.   Certain
information  reflects  financial  results for a single  Trust  share.  The total
returns in the tables  represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or
lost) on an investment in the Trusts (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions).  This  information for the past five fiscal years ended June 30,
1999,  has been  audited  by  Deloitte & Touche  LLP,  the  Trusts'  independent
auditors, whose report, along with the Trusts' financial statements, is included
in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available on request.

Additional Information About the Trust's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment  objective and the principal investment policies of the Trust are
described in the Prospectus.  This Statement of Additional  Information contains
supplemental  information  about those policies and the types of securities that
the Trust's investment manager,  Centennial Asset Management  Corporation,  will
select  for the  Trust.  Additional  explanations  are also  provided  about the
strategies the Trust may use to try to achieve its objective.

The Trust's  Investment  Policies.  The composition of the Trust's portfolio and
the  techniques  and  strategies  that the  Trust's  Manager  uses in  selecting
portfolio  securities  will vary over time. The Trust is not required to use all
of the  investment  techniques and  strategies  described  below at all times in
seeking  its goal.  It may use some of the  special  investment  techniques  and
strategies at some times or not at all.

      The  Trust's  objective  is to seek the  maximum  current  income  that is
consistent  with low capital risk and the  maintenance  of liquidity.  The Trust
will not make investments with the objective of seeking capital growth. However,
the value of the  securities  held by the Trust may be  affected  by  changes in
general  interest  rates.  Because the current value of debt  securities  varies
inversely with changes in prevailing  interest rates, if interest rates increase
after a security is purchased,  that security would  normally  decline in value.
Conversely,  if interest rates decrease after a security is purchased, its value
would rise.  However,  those  fluctuations in value will not generally result in
realized gains or losses to the Trust since the Trust does not usually intend to
dispose of securities prior to their maturity.  A debt security held to maturity
is redeemable by its issuer at full principal value plus accrued interest.

      The Trust may sell securities prior to their maturity,  to attempt to take
advantage  of  short-term  market  variations,  or because  of a revised  credit
evaluation  of the issuer or other  considerations.  The Trust may also do so to
generate cash to satisfy  redemptions of Trust shares.  In such cases, the Trust
may realize a capital gain or loss on the security.

      |X|  Ratings  of   Securities   --   Portfolio   Quality,   Maturity   and
Diversification.  Under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment  Company Act, the Trust uses
the  amortized  cost method to value its  portfolio  securities to determine the
Trust's net asset  value per share.  Rule 2a-7  places  restrictions  on a money
market fund's  investments.  Under that Rule,  the Trust may purchase only those
securities that the Manager,  under  Board-approved  procedures,  has determined
have minimal credit risks and are "Eligible Securities." The rating restrictions
described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information do not
apply to banks in which the Trust's cash is kept.

      An  "Eligible  Security"  is one  that  has  been  rated in one of the two
highest   short-term  rating   categories  by  any  two   "nationally-recognized
statistical  rating  organizations."  That term is defined in Rule 2a-7 and they
are  referred  to as "Rating  Organizations"  in this  Statement  of  Additional
Information.  If only one Rating  Organization has rated that security,  it must
have been  rated in one of the two  highest  rating  categories  by that  Rating
Organization.  An  unrated  security  that is  judged  by the  Manager  to be of
comparable quality to Eligible Securities rated by Rating Organizations may also
be an "Eligible Security."

      Rule  2a-7  permits  the Trust to  purchase  any  number  of  "First  Tier
Securities."  These are Eligible  Securities that have been rated in the highest
rating  category  for  short-term  debt  obligations  by  at  least  two  Rating
Organizations.  If only one Rating Organization has rated a particular security,
it  must  have  been  rated  in the  highest  rating  category  by  that  Rating
Organization. Comparable unrated securities may also be First Tier Securities.

      Under Rule 2a-7, the Trust may invest only up to 5% of its total assets in
"Second Tier Securities." Those are Eligible Securities that are not "First Tier
Securities." In addition, the Trust may not invest more than:
      |_| 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than
      the U.S. government,  its agencies or  instrumentalities) or
     |_| 1% of its total assets or $1 million  (whichever  is greater) in Second
     Tier Securities of any one issuer.

      Under  Rule  2a-7,  the Trust  must  maintain  a  dollar-weighted  average
portfolio  maturity  of not more than 90 days,  and the  maturity  of any single
portfolio  investment  may not exceed  397 days.  Some of the  Trust's  existing
investment  restrictions  are more restrictive than the provisions of Rule 2a-7.
For example,  as a matter of fundamental policy, the Trust may not invest in any
debt  instrument  having a  maturity  in excess of one year from the date of the
investment.  The Board  regularly  reviews  reports from the Manager to show the
Manager's compliance with the Trust's procedures and with the Rule.

      If a  security's  rating is  downgraded,  the Manager  and/or the Board of
Trustees may have to reassess  the  security's  credit  risk.  If a security has
ceased to be a First Tier Security,  the Manager will promptly  reassess whether
the security  continues to present  minimal credit risk. If the Manager  becomes
aware that any Rating  Organization  has  downgraded its rating of a Second Tier
Security or rated an unrated  security below its second highest rating category,
the Trust's  Board of Trustees  shall  promptly  reassess  whether the  security
presents  minimal  credit  risk and whether it is in the best  interests  of the
Trust to dispose of it. If the Trust  disposes of the security  within five days
of the Manager learning of the downgrade,  the Manager will provide the Board of
Trustees with subsequent notice of such downgrade.  If a security is in default,
or ceases to be an  Eligible  Security,  or is  determined  no longer to present
minimal credit risks,  the Board of Trustees must determine  whether it would be
in the best interests of the Trust to dispose of the security.

      The Rating  Organizations  currently  designated as  nationally-recognized
statistical rating  organizations by the Securities and Exchange  Commission are
Standard & Poor's  Corporation,  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc., Fitch IBCA,
Inc.,  Duff and Phelps,  Inc., and Thomson  BankWatch,  Inc.  Appendix A to this
Statement  of  Additional   Information  contains  descriptions  of  the  rating
categories of those Rating  Organizations.  Ratings at the time of purchase will
determine  whether  securities may be acquired under the restrictions  described
above.

      |X| Bank  Obligations.  The  Trust  can  invest  in the  bank  obligations
described in the  Prospectus.  The Trust will buy bank  obligations  only from a
domestic  bank with total  assets of at least $2.0  billion  from a foreign bank
with total assets of at least $30.0 billion. These asset requirements apply only
at the time the obligations are acquired.  In addition,  the Trust may invest in
certificates  of deposit of $100,000 or less of a domestic  bank,  regardless of
asset size, if such  certificate  of deposit is fully insured as to principal by
the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  At no time will the Trust hold more
than one certificate of deposit from any such bank

      Investments in securities  issued by foreign banks or foreign  branches of
U.S. banks subject the Trust to certain additional  investment risks,  including
future political and economic developments of the country in which the branch is
located,  possible  imposition  of  withholding  taxes on income  payable on the
securities,  possible  seizure of foreign  deposits,  establishment  of exchange
control restrictions,  or other government regulation.  While domestic banks are
subject to federal and/or state laws and regulations  which, among other things,
require  specific  levels of  reserves to be  maintained,  not all of those laws
apply to foreign branches of domestic banks or domestic branches or subsidiaries
of foreign  banks.  For  purposes  of this  section,  the term  "bank"  includes
commercial banks, savings banks and savings and loan associations.

      |X|   U.S.  Government   Securities.   U.S.  government  securities  are
obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  government or its agencies or
instrumentalities.  They include  Treasury Bills (which mature within one year
of the date they are issued) and  Treasury  Notes and Bonds  (which are issued
with  longer  maturities).  All  Treasury  securities  are  backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States.

      U.S.  government  agencies and  instrumentalities  that issue or guarantee
securities include, but are not limited to, the Federal Housing  Administration,
Farmers Home  Administration,  Export-Import  Bank of the United  States,  Small
Business  Administration,  Government  National  Mortgage  Association,  General
Services Administration, Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,  Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land
Banks, Maritime Administration,  the Tennessee Valley Authority and the District
of Columbia Armory Board.

      Securities   issued  or  guaranteed  by  U.S.   government   agencies  and
instrumentalities  are not  always  backed by the full  faith and  credit of the
United States.  Some, such as securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage
Association   ("Fannie  Mae"),  are  backed  by  the  right  of  the  agency  or
instrumentality to borrow from the Treasury.  Others,  such as securities issued
by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  ("Freddie  Mac"),  are supported
only  by the  credit  of the  instrumentality  and not by the  Treasury.  If the
securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the
purchaser  must look  principally  to the  agency  issuing  the  obligation  for
repayment and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the
issuing agency or instrumentality  does not meet its commitment.  The Trust will
invest in U.S. government securities of such agencies and instrumentalities only
when the  Manager  is  satisfied  that the  credit  risk  with  respect  to such
instrumentality is minimal and that the security is an Eligible Security.

Other Investment Strategies

      O  Floating  Rate/Variable  Rate  Obligations.  The  Trust  may  invest in
instruments  with floating or variable  interest  rates.  The interest rate on a
floating rate obligation is based on a stated  prevailing market rate, such as a
bank's prime rate,  the 90-day U.S.  Treasury  Bill rate,  the rate of return on
commercial paper or bank  certificates of deposit,  or some other standard.  The
rate on the  investment is adjusted  automatically  each time the market rate is
adjusted.  The interest  rate on a variable  rate  obligation is also based on a
stated  prevailing  market  rate but is  adjusted  automatically  at a specified
interval  of not  less  than one  year.  Some  variable  rate or  floating  rate
obligations  in which the Trust may invest have a demand  feature  entitling the
holder to demand payment of an amount  approximately equal to the amortized cost
of the  instrument  or the  principal  amount  of the  instrument  plus  accrued
interest at any time, or at specified  intervals  not exceeding one year.  These
notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.

      Variable  rate demand notes may include  master  demand  notes,  which are
obligations that permit the Trust to invest  fluctuating  amounts in a note. The
amount may change daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between
the Trust, as the note purchaser, and the issuer of the note. The interest rates
on  these  notes  fluctuate  from  time to  time.  The  issuer  of this  type of
obligation normally has a corresponding  right in its discretion,  after a given
period,  to prepay  the  outstanding  principal  amount of the  obligation  plus
accrued interest. The issuer must give a specified number of days' notice to the
holders of those  obligations.  Generally,  the changes in the interest  rate on
those securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As interest rates
decrease or increase,  the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is
less than that for fixed-rate obligations having the same maturity.

      Because these types of obligations are direct lending arrangements between
the note purchaser and issuer of the note, these instruments  generally will not
be traded.  Generally,  there is no established secondary market for these types
of  obligations,  although  they are  redeemable  from the issuer at face value.
Accordingly,  where  these  obligations  are not secured by letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements, the Trust's right to redeem them is dependent
on the ability of the note issuer to pay principal and interest on demand. These
types of obligations usually are not rated by credit rating agencies.  The Trust
may invest in obligations  that are not rated only if the Manager  determines at
the time of investment that they are Eligible Securities. The Manager, on behalf
of the Trust, will monitor the  creditworthiness  of the issuers of the floating
and variable  rate  obligations  in the Trust's  portfolio on an ongoing  basis.
There is no limit on the amount of the  Trust's  assets  that may be invested in
floating rate and variable rate  obligations  that meet the requirements of Rule
2a-7.

      |X|  Asset-Backed  Securities.  These  securities,  issued by  trusts  and
special purpose  corporations,  are backed by pools of assets. They pass through
the  payments  on the  underlying  obligations  to the  security  holders  (less
servicing fees paid to the originator or fees for any credit  enhancement).  The
value of an  asset-backed  security  is  affected  by  changes  in the  market's
perception  of the asset  backing  the  security,  the  creditworthiness  of the
servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the financial
institution providing any credit enhancement.

      Payments  of  principal  and  interest   passed   through  to  holders  of
asset-backed   securities  are  typically  supported  by  some  form  of  credit
enhancement,  such as a letter of credit,  surety  bond,  limited  guarantee  by
another  entity  or  having  a  priority  to  certain  of the  borrower's  other
securities.  The degree of credit  enhancement  varies, and generally applies to
only a fraction of the asset-backed security's par value until exhausted. If the
credit  enhancement  of an  asset-backed  security  held by the  Trust  has been
exhausted,  and if any required  payments of principal and interest are not made
with respect to the underlying  loans, the Trust may experience losses or delays
in receiving payment.

      The risks of investing in asset-backed securities are ultimately dependent
upon payment of underlying  assets. As a purchaser of an asset-backed  security,
the Trust would  generally  have no recourse to the entity that  originated  the
loans in the event of default by a borrower. The underlying loans are subject to
prepayments,  which shorten the weighted average life of asset-backed securities
and may lower their return,  in the same manner as for  prepayments of a pool of
mortgage loans  underlying  mortgage-backed  securities.  However,  asset-backed
securities  do not  have  the  benefit  of the  same  security  interest  in the
underlying collateral as do mortgage-backed securities.

      |X| Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Trust acquires
a  security  from,  and  simultaneously  resells it to, an  approved  vendor for
delivery on an  agreed-upon  future date.  The resale price exceeds the purchase
price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon  interest rate effective for the
period during which the repurchase  agreement is in effect. An "approved vendor"
may be a U.S.  commercial bank or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank having total
domestic assets of at least $1 billion, or a broker-dealer with a net capital of
$50 million which has been designated a primary dealer in government securities.

      The  majority  of these  transactions  run from day to day,  and  delivery
pursuant  to the  resale  typically  will  occur  within one to five days of the
purchase.  The Trust will not enter into a repurchase  agreement that will cause
more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase  agreements maturing
in more than seven days.

      Repurchase  agreements are considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act,   collateralized  by  the  underlying  security.   The  Trust's  repurchase
agreements  require  that at all times  while  the  repurchase  agreement  is in
effect,  the  collateral's  value must equal or exceed the  repurchase  price to
fully  collateralize the repayment  obligation.  Additionally,  the Manager will
monitor the vendor's  creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially
sound and will  continuously  monitor the collateral's  value.  However,  if the
vendor fails to pay the resale price on the delivery  date,  the Trust may incur
costs in disposing of the collateral  and may experience  losses if there is any
delay in its ability to do so.

      |X| Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  Under the policies and procedures
established  by the  Trust's  Board of  Trustees,  the  Manager  determines  the
liquidity  of certain of the Trust's  investments.  Investments  may be illiquid
because of the absence of an active trading market, making it difficult to value
them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable  price. A restricted  security
is one that has a contractual  restriction on its resale or which cannot be sold
publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

      Illiquid  securities the Trust can buy include issues that may be redeemed
only by the issuer upon more than seven days notice or at  maturity,  repurchase
agreements  maturing in more than seven  days,  fixed time  deposits  subject to
withdrawal  penalties which mature in more than seven days, and other securities
that cannot be sold freely due to legal or contractual  restrictions  on resale.
Contractual  restrictions on the resale of illiquid  securities might prevent or
delay their sale by the Trust at a time when such sale would be desirable.

      There are restricted  securities  that are not illiquid that the Trust can
buy.  They  include  certain  master  demand  notes  redeemable  on demand,  and
short-term  corporate debt instruments that are related to current  transactions
of the issuer and therefore are exempt from  registration  as commercial  paper.
Illiquid securities include repurchase  agreements maturing in more than 7 days,
or certain participation interests other than those with puts exercisable within
7 days.

O Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  To attempt to increase its income,  the Trust
may lend its  portfolio  securities  to  brokers,  dealers  and other  financial
institutions.  These  loans are limited to not more than 10% of the value of the
Trust's total assets and are subject to other  conditions  described  below. The
Trust will not enter into any securities lending agreements having a maturity of
greater  than  one  year.  The  Trust  presently  does  not  intend  to lend its
securities,  but if it does,  the value of securities  loaned is not expected to
exceed 5% of the value of the  Trust's  total  assets.  There are some  risks in
lending securities.  The Trust could experience a delay in receiving  additional
collateral to secure a loan, or a delay in recovering the loaned securities.

      The Trust may receive  collateral for a loan.  Any securities  received as
collateral  for a loan  must  mature in twelve  months  or less.  Under  current
applicable  regulatory  requirements  (which  are  subject to  change),  on each
business day the loan  collateral  must be at least equal to the market value of
the loaned  securities.  The  collateral  must consist of cash,  bank letters of
credit, U.S. government  securities or other cash equivalents in which the Trust
is permitted to invest.  To be acceptable as collateral,  letters of credit must
obligate a bank to pay  amounts  demanded  by the Trust if the demand  meets the
terms of the letter. Such terms and the issuing bank must be satisfactory to the
Trust.

      When it lends  securities,  the Trust receives from the borrower an amount
equal to the interest  paid or the dividends  declared on the loaned  securities
during the term of the loan.  It may also receive  negotiated  loan fees and the
interest  on  the   collateral   securities,   less  any  finders',   custodian,
administrative  or other fees the Trust pays in  connection  with the loan.  The
Trust may share the interest it receives on the collateral  securities  with the
borrower as long as it realizes at least a minimum  amount of interest  required
by the lending guidelines established by its Board of Trustees.

      The Trust will not lend its portfolio securities to any officer,  Trustee,
employee  or  affiliate  of the Trust or its  Manager.  The terms of the Trust's
loans must meet  certain  tests under the  Internal  Revenue Code and permit the
Trust to reacquire loaned  securities on five business days notice or in time to
vote on any important matter.

Investment Restrictions

      |X|  What Are  "Fundamental  Policies?"  Fundamental  policies  are  those
policies  that the  Trust has  adopted  to govern  its  investments  that can be
changed  only by the vote of a  "majority"  of the  Trust's  outstanding  voting
securities.  Under the Investment  Company Act, a "majority"  vote is defined as
the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

      |_| 67% or  more of the  shares  present  or  represented  by  proxy  at a
      shareholder  meeting,  if the holders of more than 50% of the  outstanding
      shares are present or  represented  by proxy,  or
     |_| more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Trust's investment  objective is a fundamental policy.  Other policies
described in the  Prospectus  or this  Statement of Additional  Information  are
"fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Trust's Board of Trustees
can change  non-fundamental  policies  without  shareholder  approval.  However,
significant  changes to investment  policies will be described in supplements or
updates to the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional  Information,  as
appropriate.  The Trust's most significant  investment policies are described in
the Prospectus.

n     Does the Trust  Have  Additional  Fundamental  Policies?  The  following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Trust:

      |_|   The  Trust  cannot  invest  more than 5% of the value of its total
assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S.  government or
its agencies or instrumentalities).

      |_| The Trust cannot purchase more than 10% of the outstanding  non-voting
securities or more than 10% of the total debt securities of any one issuer.

      |_| The Trust cannot  concentrate  investments to the extent of 25% of its
assets in any  industry;  however,  there is no  limitation  as to investment in
obligations issued by banks, savings and loan associations or the U.S.
government and its agencies or instrumentalities.

      |_| The Trust cannot  invest in any debt  instrument  having a maturity in
excess  of one year  from the date of the  investment  or, in the case of a debt
instrument subject to a repurchase agreement or called for redemption,  having a
repurchase  or  redemption  date  more  than  one  year  from  the  date  of the
investment.

      |_| The Trust  cannot  borrow  money  except as a  temporary  measure  for
extraordinary or emergency purposes, and then only up to 10% of the market value
of the  Trust's  assets;  the  Trust  will  not make any  investment  when  such
borrowing  exceeds 5% of the value of its assets;  no assets of the Trust may be
pledged, mortgaged or assigned to secure a debt.

      |_| The Trust cannot  invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets
in securities of companies  that have operated less than three years,  including
the operations of predecessors.

      |_| The Trust cannot make loans,  except the Trust may: (i) purchase  debt
securities,  (ii) purchase debt securities subject to repurchase agreements,  or
(iii)  lend  its  securities  as  described  in  this  Statement  of  Additional
Information.

      |_| The Trust  cannot  invest in  commodities  or  commodity  contracts or
invest  in  interests  in oil,  gas or  other  mineral  exploration  or  mineral
development programs.

      |_| The Trust cannot invest in real estate; however the Trust may purchase
debt  securities  issued by  companies  which invest in real estate or interests
therein.

      |_| The Trust cannot purchase  securities on margin or make short sales of
securities.

      |_| The Trust cannot  invest in or hold  securities of any issuer if those
officers  and  Trustees  of  the  Trust  or the  Manager  who  beneficially  own
individually  more than 0.5% of the securities of such issuer  together own more
than 5% of the securities of such issuer.

o The Trust cannot underwrite securities of other companies.

      |_| The Trust cannot invest in securities of other  investment  companies,
except in connection with a consolidation or merger.

      |_| The Trust cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit
certain  investment  activities  for which assets of the Trust are designated as
segregated,  or margin,  collateral or escrow  arrangements are established,  to
cover the related obligations.

      Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information  states
that a percentage  restriction  applies on an ongoing basis,  it applies only at
the time the Trust makes an  investment.  The Trust need not sell  securities to
meet  the  percentage  limits  if the  value  of  the  investment  increases  in
proportion to the size of the Trust.

      For purposes of the Trust's policy not to concentrate  its  investments in
securities of issuers,  the Trust has adopted the industry  classifications  set
forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional  Information.  This is not a
fundamental policy.

How the Trust Is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The Trust is an  open-end,  diversified  management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts  business trust in 1979, with an
unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest.

      The Trust is governed by a Board of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for
protecting the interests of shareholders  under  Massachusetts law. The Trustees
meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust's activities,  review
its performance,  and review the actions of the Manager. Although the Trust will
not normally hold annual meetings of its  shareholders,  it may hold shareholder
meetings from time to time on important  matters.  Shareholders of the Trust may
have the right to call a meeting  to remove a Trustee  or to take  other  action
described in the Declaration of Trust.

      |X|  Classes  of Shares.  The Board of  Trustees  has the  power,  without
shareholder  approval,  to divide  unissued shares of the Trust into two or more
classes.  The Board has done so,  and the Trust  currently  has  authorized  the
issuance of two classes of shares.  The class of shares currently offered by the
Prospectus  and this  Statement of  Additional  information  has no special name
designation.  The Trust's other class of shares, designated as "Class Y" shares,
is not currently available.  At such time as Class Y shares are available,  both
classes  of shares  will  invest in the same  investment  portfolio.  Shares are
freely  transferable.  Each  share has one vote at  shareholder  meetings,  with
fractional  shares  voting  proportionally  on matters  submitted to the vote of
shareholders. Each class of shares:
      |_|  has its own dividends and distributions,
      |_|  pays certain  expenses  which may be  different  for
   the different classes,
      |_|  may have a different net asset value,
o     may have  separate  voting  rights on matters in which the  interests of
         one class are different from the interests of another class, and
      |_|  votes as a class on matters  that  affect that class
alone.

      |X| Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust
is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold,  regular annual  meetings of
shareholders.  The  Trust  will  hold  meetings  when  required  to do so by the
Investment  Company  Act or  other  applicable  law.  It will  also do so when a
shareholder  meeting is called by the  Trustees  or upon  proper  request of the
shareholders.

      Shareholders  have the right,  upon the  declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds  of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust,  to remove a Trustee.  The
Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee
upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of the outstanding  shares
of the Trust.  If the Trustees  receive a request from at least 10  shareholders
stating  that they wish to  communicate  with  other  shareholders  to request a
meeting to remove a Trustee,  the Trustees will then either make the shareholder
lists of the Trust  available to the applicants or mail their  communication  to
all other shareholders at the applicants'  expense.  The shareholders making the
request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares
of the  Trust  valued  at  $25,000  or more or  constituting  at least 1% of the
outstanding  shares of the Trust,  whichever is less. The Trustees may also take
other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

         |_|  Shareholder  and  Trustee  Liability.  The  Declaration  of  Trust
contains an express  disclaimer  of  shareholder  or Trustee  liability  for the
Trust's  obligations.  It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of the Trust's property for any shareholder held personally  liable
for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that upon request, the
Trust shall assume the defense of any claim made against a  shareholder  for any
act or  obligation  of the Trust and shall  satisfy any  judgment on that claim.
Massachusetts  law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Trust)
to be  held  personally  liable  as a  "partner"  under  certain  circumstances.
However,  the risk that a Trust shareholder will incur financial loss from being
held  liable as a  "partner"  of the Trust is limited to the  relatively  remote
circumstances in which the Trust would be unable to meet its obligations.

      The Trust's contractual  arrangements state that any person doing business
with the Trust (and each  shareholder of the Trust) agrees under the Declaration
of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Trust for satisfaction of any claim
or demand that may arise out of any dealings with the Trust.  Additionally,  the
Trustees  shall have no personal  liability  to any such  person,  to the extent
permitted by law.

   1.  For the 1998 calendar year.

      o Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees.  The Trustees have adopted
a Deferred  Compensation  Plan for  disinterested  Trustees that enables them to
elect to defer  receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled
to receive  from the  Trust.  Under the plan,  the  compensation  deferred  by a
Trustee  is  periodically  adjusted  as though  an  equivalent  amount  had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The
amount paid to the  Trustee  under this plan will be  determined  based upon the
performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral  of fees of the  Trustees  under  this plan  will not  materially
affect the Trust's assets,  liabilities or net income per share.  This plan will
not  obligate  the Trust to retain  the  services  of any  Trustee or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Trustee.  Pursuant to an Order issued by
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  the Trust  may  invest in the funds
selected by any Trustee  under this plan  without  shareholder  approval for the
limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustees' deferred fee accounts.

      |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of October 21, 1999 the only person who owned
of  record  or was  known  by the  Trust to own  beneficially  5% or more of the
Trust's outstanding retail shares was A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.  ("Edwards"),  1
North   Jefferson   Avenue,    St.   Louis,    Missouri   63103,   which   owned
17,691,672,576.430 shares of the Trust which was 98.8% of the outstanding shares
of the  Trust  on  that  date,  for  accounts  of its  customers  none  of  whom
individually owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares..

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., which is a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Oppenheimer  Acquisition  Corp.,  a holding  company
controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

      The portfolio  managers of the Trust are  principally  responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Trust's investment portfolio.  Other members of the
Manager's  fixed-income  portfolio  department,  particularly security analysts,
traders and other portfolio  managers,  have broad experience with  fixed-income
securities.  They  provide the Trust's  portfolio  managers  with  research  and
support in managing the Trust's investments.

      |X| The Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Manager provides  investment
advisory  and  management  services  to the Trust under an  investment  advisory
agreement between the Manager and the Trust. The Manager selects  securities for
the Trust's  portfolio  and  handles  its  day-to-day  business.  The  agreement
requires the Manager,  at its expense, to provide the Trust with adequate office
space,  facilities  and  equipment.  It also requires the Manager to provide and
supervise the activities of all  administrative  and clerical personnel required
to  provide  effective  administration  for the  Trust.  Those  responsibilities
include  the  compilation  and  maintenance  of  records  with  respect  to  its
operations,  the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of
proxy materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares
of the Trust.

      Expenses  not  expressly  assumed  by the  Manager  under  the  investment
advisory  agreement are paid by the Trust.  The  investment  advisory  agreement
lists  examples of expenses paid by the Trust.  The major  categories  relate to
interest,  taxes,  fees to  unaffiliated  Trustees,  legal and  audit  expenses,
custodian and transfer agent expenses,  share issuance costs,  certain  printing
and registration costs and non-recurring  expenses,  including litigation costs.
The management fees paid by the Trust to the Manager are calculated at the rates
described in the Prospectus.

      1999                                 $57,461,310
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Under  the  investment  advisory  agreement,  the  Manager  has  agreed to
reimburse the Trust to the extent that the Trust's total expenses (including the
management  fee  but  excluding  interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,  and
extraordinary  expenses such as litigation  costs) exceed in any fiscal year the
lesser of: (i) 1.5% of average  annual net assets of the Trust up to $30 million
plus 1% of the  average  annual net assets in excess of $30 million or; (ii) 25%
of the total annual  investment  income of the Trust. For fiscal year ended June
30, 1997 and June 30, 1998 June 30, 1999, the  reimbursements  by the Manager to
the Trust were $4,890,123, $2,382,437 and $0, respectively.

      Independently  of the  investment  advisory  agreement,  the  Manager  had
voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the management fee otherwise payable to
it by the Trust  during the period from  December 1, 1991  through  November 21,
1997.  Contemporaneously  with the amendment of the Trust's investment  advisory
agreement  with the  Manager,  the  Manager  withdrew  its  voluntary  waiver on
November 21, 1997.

    The  investment  advisory  agreement  provides that the Manager shall not be
liable for any loss sustained by reason of the adoption of an investment  policy
or the  purchase,  sale or  retention  of any  security  on its  recommendation,
whether  or  not  such  recommendation  shall  have  been  based  upon  its  own
investigation and research or upon  investigation and research made by any other
individual, firm or corporation, if such recommendation shall have been made and
such other  individual,  firm or  corporation  shall have been selected with due
care  and in good  faith,  provided  that  nothing  in the  agreement  shall  be
construed  to protect the  Manager  against  any  liability  to the Trust or its
shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in
the  performance  of its duties,  or by reason of its reckless  disregard of its
obligations and duties under the agreement.

      |X| The Distributor.  Under its General  Distributor's  Agreement with the
Trust,  Centennial  Asset Management  Corporation acts as the Trust's  principal
underwriter  and  Distributor in the continuous  public  offering of the Trust's
shares.  The  Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific  number of shares.
The Distributor  bears the expenses  normally  attributable to sales,  including
advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses,  other than those
furnished to existing shareholders.

Portfolio  Transactions.  Portfolio decisions are based upon recommendations and
judgment  of the  Manager  subject  to the  overall  authority  of the  Board of
Trustees.  Most  purchases made by the Trust are principal  transactions  at net
prices,  so the Trust  incurs  little or no  brokerage  costs.  The Trust  deals
directly  with the  selling or  purchasing  principal  or market  maker  without
incurring  charges for the services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager
determines  that a better  price  or  execution  may be  obtained  by using  the
services  of a broker.  Purchases  of  portfolio  securities  from  underwriters
include a commission or concession  paid by the issuer to the  underwriter,  and
purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices.

      The Trust seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at the most favorable
net price. If broker/dealers are used for portfolio  transactions,  transactions
may be directed to broker/dealers for their execution and research services. The
research  services  provided by a particular broker may be useful only to one or
more of the  advisory  accounts of the Manager  and its  affiliates.  Investment
research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both
to the  Trust  and  one or  more of such  other  accounts.  Investment  research
services  may be supplied  to the Manager by a third party at the  instance of a
broker through which trades are placed. It may include  information and analyses
on particular  companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio  strategy,  receipt of market  quotations  for portfolio  evaluations,
information systems,  computer hardware and similar products and services.  If a
research  service also assists the Manager in a  non-research  capacity (such as
bookkeeping  or other  administrative  functions),  then only the  percentage or
component   that  provides   assistance   to  the  Manager  in  the   investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

      The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement
the research activities of the Manager.  That research provides additional views
and  comparisons  for  consideration,   and  helps  the  Manager  obtain  market
information  for the  valuation of securities  held in the Trust's  portfolio or
being considered for purchase.

      Subject to  applicable  rules  covering the  Manager's  activities in this
area, sales of shares of the Trust and/or the other investment companies managed
by the Manager or  distributed  by the  Distributor  may also be considered as a
factor  in the  direction  of  transactions  to  dealers.  That  must be done in
conformity  with the price,  execution  and other  considerations  and practices
discussed  above.  Those  other  investment  companies  may  also  give  similar
consideration  relating  to  the  sale  of  the  Trust's  shares.  No  portfolio
transactions  will be  handled  by any  securities  dealer  affiliated  with the
Manager.

      The  Trust's  policy of  investing  in  short-term  debt  securities  with
maturities  of less than one year  results in high  portfolio  turnover  and may
increase the Trust's transaction costs. However, since brokerage commissions, if
any, are small,  high turnover does not have an appreciable  adverse effect upon
the income of the Trust.

Service Plan

The Trust has adopted a Service Plan for the shares.  The plan has been approved
by a vote of the Board of  Trustees,  including  a majority  of the  Independent
Trustees2,  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that
plan.


2. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment
Company Act, the term  "Independent  Trustees" in this  Statement of  Additional
Information  refers to those  Trustees who are not  "interested  persons" of the
Fund (or its  parent  corporation)  and who do not have any  direct or  indirect
financial interest in the operation of any agreement under the plan.


      Under the plan,  the  Manager  and the  Distributor  may make  payments to
affiliates and, in their sole  discretion,  from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Trust) to make payments to brokers,  dealers
or other financial  institutions for distribution  and  administrative  services
they perform.  The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it receives
from the Trust.  In their sole  discretion,  the Distributor and the Manager may
increase or decrease the amount of payments  they make from their own  resources
to plan recipients.

      Unless a plan is  terminated  as described  below,  the plan  continues in
effect  from  year to year but only if the  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  and its
Independent  Trustees  specifically  vote  annually to approve its  continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on continuing  the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote
of a majority  of the  Independent  Trustees  or by the vote of the holders of a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act) of the outstanding shares
of the Trust.

      The Board of  Trustees  and the  Independent  Trustees  must  approve  all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of
payments to be made under a plan must be approved by  shareholders  of the class
affected by the  amendment.  The approval must be by a "majority" (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) of the shares.

      While the plan is in effect,  the  Treasurer  of the Trust  shall  provide
separate written reports on the plan to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly
for its review.  The Reports  shall detail the amount of all payments made under
the plan and the purpose for which the  payments  were made.  Those  reports are
subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

      The plan states that while it is in effect,  the selection and  nomination
of those Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested  persons" of the Trust is
committed to the discretion of the Independent  Trustees.  This does not prevent
the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the
final  decision as to selection or  nomination  is approved by a majority of the
Independent Trustees.

      Under the plan, no payment will be made to any recipient in any quarter in
which the  aggregate  net asset value of all Trust shares held by the  recipient
for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount,  if any, that may
be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board of
Trustees has set no minimum  amount of assets to qualify for payments  under the
plan.

      |X| Service Plan Fees.  Under the service plan, the Distributor  currently
uses the fees it  receives  from the  Trust to pay  brokers,  dealers  and other
financial  institutions  (they are  referred to as  "recipients")  for  personal
services and account  maintenance  services they provide for their customers who
hold shares.  The services include,  among others,  answering customer inquiries
about the Trust,  assisting  in  establishing  and  maintaining  accounts in the
Trust,  making the  Trust's  investment  plans  available  and  providing  other
services  at the  request  of the Trust or the  Distributor.  The  service  plan
permits  reimbursements  to the  Distributor at a rate of up to 0.20% of average
annual net assets of the shares.  While the plan  permits the Board to authorize
payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the
Board has not yet done so. The  Distributor  makes  payments to plan  recipients
quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.20% of the average annual net assets
consisting of shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999  payments  under the plan  totaled
$34,170,025,  all of  which  was paid by the  Distributor  to  recipients.  That
included $546 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's  parent company.  Any
unreimbursed  expenses the Distributor  incurs with respect to the shares in any
fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use
payments received under the plan to pay any of its interest  expenses,  carrying
charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

Performance of the Trust

Explanation  of  Performance  Terminology.  The Trust uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its performance.  These terms include "yield," "compounded  effective
yield" and "average annual total return." An explanation of how yields and total
returns are  calculated  is set forth  below.  The charts below show the Trust's
performance  as of the  Trust's  most  recent  fiscal  year end.  You can obtain
current  performance  information  by  calling  the  Trust's  Transfer  Agent at
1-800-525-9310.

      The Trust's  illustrations of its performance data in advertisements  must
comply  with  rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Those  rules
describe  the  types of  performance  data  that may be used and how it is to be
calculated.  If the Trust  shows total  returns in  addition to its yields,  the
returns must be for the 1-, 5- and 10-year  periods ending as of the most recent
calendar  quarter  prior  to  the  publication  of  the  advertisement  (or  its
submission for publication).

      Use of  standardized  performance  calculations  enables  an  investor  to
compare the Trust's  performance to the  performance of other funds for the same
periods.  However,  a number of factors  should be  considered  before using the
Trust's   performance   information  as  a  basis  for  comparisons  with  other
investments:

     |_| Yields and total  returns  measure the  performance  of a  hypothetical
     account in the Trust over various  periods and do not show the  performance
     of each shareholder's  account.  Your account's  performance will vary from
     the model  performance  data if your dividends are received in cash, or you
     buy or sell  shares  during  the  period,  or you bought  your  shares at a
     different time than the shares used in the model.

     |_| An  investment  in the  Trust is not  insured  by the FDIC or any other
     government agency.

     |_| The Trust's yield is not fixed or guaranteed and will fluctuate.

     |_| Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical
     performance  information  and are not,  and  should  not be  considered,  a
     prediction of future yields or returns.

         |_| Yields.  The Trust's  current yield is  calculated  for a seven-day
period of time as follows.  First,  a base period return is  calculated  for the
seven-day  period by  determining  the net change in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing  account having one share at the beginning of the seven-day period.
The change  includes  dividends  declared on the  original  share and  dividends
declared  on any  shares  purchased  with  dividends  on that  share,  but  such
dividends  are adjusted to exclude any realized or  unrealized  capital gains or
losses  affecting  the  dividends  declared.  Next,  the base  period  return is
multiplied by 365/7 to obtain the current yield to the nearest  hundredth of one
percent.

The  compounded  effective  yield for a seven-day  period is  calculated  by (1)
adding 1 to the base period return  (obtained as described  above),  (2) raising
the sum to a power  equal to 365  divided by 7, and (3)  subtracting  1 from the
result.

      The  yield  as   calculated   above  may  vary  for  accounts   less  than
approximately  $100 in value  due to the  effect  of  rounding  off  each  daily
dividend  to the  nearest  full cent.  The  calculation  of yield  under  either
procedure  described  above does not take into  consideration  any  realized  or
unrealized gains or losses on the Trust's portfolio  securities which may affect
dividends.  Therefore,  the return on dividends declared during a period may not
be the same on an annualized basis as the yield for that period.

      o  Total  Return  Information.  There are  different  types of "total
returns" to measure the Trust's performance. Total return is the change in value
of a hypothetical investment in the Trust over a given period, assuming that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  are reinvested in additional  shares
and that the  investment  is redeemed at the end of the period.  The  cumulative
total return  measures the change in value over the entire  period (for example,
ten years).  An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would  produce the  cumulative  total return over the
entire  period.  However,  average  annual  total  returns  do not  show  actual
year-by-year performance. The Trust uses standardized calculations for its total
returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

         |_| Average Annual Total Return.  The "average  annual total return" of
each class is an  average  annual  compounded  rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical  initial  investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held
for a number of years ("n") to achieve an Ending  Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the

                    (  P  )


         |_| Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return"  calculation
measures  the change in value of a  hypothetical  investment  of $1,000  over an
entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average
annual  total  return,  but it does not  average the rate of return on an annual
basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:


                             ERV - P
                             ------- = Total Return

      |X| Other  Performance  Comparisons.  Yield  information  may be useful to
investors in reviewing the Trust's  performance.  The Trust may make comparisons
between its yield and that of other investments,  by citing various indices such
as The Bank Rate Monitor  National Index  (provided by Bank Rate MonitorJ) which
measures the average rate paid on bank money market  accounts,  NOW accounts and
certificates  of deposits  by the 100  largest  banks and thrifts in the top ten
metro areas.  When  comparing the Trust's yield with that of other  investments,
investors should  understand that certain other investment  alternatives such as
certificates of deposit, U.S. government securities, money market instruments or
bank accounts may provide fixed yields and may be insured or guaranteed.

      From time to time, the Trust may include in its  advertisements  and sales
literature performance information about the Trust cited in other newspapers and
periodicals,  such  as  The  New  York  Times,  which  may  include  performance
quotations from other sources.

      From time to time, the Trust's Manager may publish  rankings or ratings of
the Manager (or the Transfer Agent) or the investor  services  provided by them.
Those ratings or rankings of investor/shareholder  services by third parties may
compare the services provided to those of other mutual fund families selected by
the rating or ranking services.  They may be based on the opinions of the rating
or ranking  service  itself,  based on its  research  or  judgment,  or based on
surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

How to Buy Shares

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value per share of the
Trust is determined twice each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange")
is open,  at 12:00 Noon and at 4:00 P.M, on each day that the  Exchange is open,
by dividing  the value of the  Trust's net assets by the total  number of shares
outstanding.  All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information
mean New York time. The  Exchange's  most recent annual  announcement  (which is
subject to change)  states that it will close on New Year's Day,  Martin  Luther
King Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence  Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

      The Trust's  Board of Trustees  has adopted the  amortized  cost method to
value the Trust's  portfolio  securities.  Under the  amortized  cost method,  a
security is valued  initially at its cost and its  valuation  assumes a constant
amortization  of any premium or accretion  of any  discount,  regardless  of the
impact of fluctuating  interest rates on the market value of the security.  This
method does not take into  consideration any unrealized  capital gains or losses
on securities.  While this method provides certainty in valuing  securities,  in
certain  periods the value of a security  determined  by  amortized  cost may be
higher or lower than the price the Trust would receive if it sold the security.

      The  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  has  established  procedures  reasonably
designed to  stabilize  the  Trust's  net asset value at $1.00 per share.  Those
procedures  include a review of the valuations of the Trust's portfolio holdings
by the Board of  Trustees,  at  intervals  it deems  appropriate,  to  determine
whether  the  Trust's  net asset  value  calculated  by using  available  market
quotations deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost.

      The Board of Trustees will examine the extent of any deviation between the
Trust's net asset value based upon  available  market  quotations  and amortized
cost.  If the Trust's  net asset  value were to deviate  from $1.00 by more than
0.5%, Rule 2a-7 requires the Board of Trustees to consider what action,  if any,
should be  taken.  If they find  that the  extent of the  deviation  may cause a
material dilution or other unfair effects on shareholders, the Board of Trustees
will take  whatever  steps it considers  appropriate  to eliminate or reduce the
dilution,  including,  among others,  withholding or reducing dividends,  paying
dividends from capital or capital gains, selling portfolio  instruments prior to
maturity to realize  capital gains or losses or to shorten the average  maturity
of the portfolio,  or calculating  net asset value per share by using  available
market quotations.

      During periods of declining  interest rates,  the daily yield on shares of
the Trust may tend to be lower (and net investment  income and dividends higher)
than those of a fund holding the  identical  investments  as the Trust but which
used a method of  portfolio  valuation  based on market  prices or  estimates of
market prices.  During periods of rising interest rates,  the daily yield of the
Trust  would tend to be higher  and its  aggregate  value  lower than that of an
identical portfolio using market price valuation.

How to Sell Shares

The information  below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares
set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to the Bank for clearance, the Bank will
ask the Trust to redeem a sufficient number of full and fractional shares in the
shareholder's  account  to cover  the  amount of the  check.  This  enables  the
shareholder to continue  receiving  dividends on those shares until the check is
presented to the Trust.  Checks may not be presented  for payment at the offices
of the Bank or the Trust's Custodian. This limitation does not affect the use of
checks for the  payment  of bills or to obtain  cash at other  banks.  The Trust
reserves  the right to  amend,  suspend  or  discontinue  offering  checkwriting
privileges at any time without prior notice.

     In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing the
Account  Application or by completing a Checkwriting  card,  each individual who
signs:

(1)  for individual  accounts,  represents that they are the registered owner(s)
     of the shares of the Trust in that account;

(2)  for accounts for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts and other  entities,
     represents  that they are an  officer,  general  partner,  trustee or other
     fiduciary or agent, as applicable,  duly authorized to act on behalf of the
     registered owner(s);

(3)  authorizes  the Trust,  its Transfer  Agent and any bank through  which the
     Trust's  drafts  (checks)  are payable to pay all checks drawn on the Trust
     account of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient  amount of shares from
     that account to cover payment of each check;

(4)  specifically  acknowledges  that if they  choose  to  permit  checks  to be
     honored  if there is a single  signature  on  checks  drawn  against  joint
     accounts,  or  accounts  for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts or other
     entities,  the signature of any one signatory on a check will be sufficient
     to authorize payment of that check and redemption from the account, even if
     that  account  is  registered  in the names of more than one person or more
     than one  authorized  signature  appears  on the  Checkwriting  card or the
     Application, as applicable;

(5)  understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or amended at
     any time by the Trust and/or the Trust's bank; and

(6)  acknowledges and agrees that neither the Trust nor its bank shall incur any
     liability for that amendment or termination of  checkwriting  privileges or
     for  redeeming  shares  to pay  checks  reasonably  believed  by them to be
     genuine,  or for returning or not paying checks that have not been accepted
     for any reason.

Sending  Redemption  Proceeds by Federal  Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemptions  proceeds may be delayed if the Trust's  custodian  bank is not open
for  business on a day when the Trust would  normally  authorize  the wire to be
made,  which is usually the Trust's next  regular  business  day  following  the
redemption.  In those circumstances,  the wire will not be transmitted until the
next bank business day on which the Trust is open for business. No distributions
will be paid on the  proceeds of redeemed  shares  awaiting  transfer by Federal
Funds wire

Distributions   From  Retirement   Plans.   Requests  for   distributions   from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  IRAs,  403(b)(7)  custodial  plans,  401(k) plans or
pension   or   profit-sharing   plans   should   be   addressed   to   "Trustee,
OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed
in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement
of Additional Information. The request must
(1) state the reason for the distribution;
(2)  state  the  owner's  awareness  of tax  penalties  if the  distribution  is
premature; and
(3) conform to the  requirements  of the plan and the Trust's  other  redemption
requirements.

      Participants      (other      than      self-employed      persons)     in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  pension or  profit-sharing  plans with shares of the
Trust held in the name of the plan or its  fiduciary  may not  directly  request
redemption of their accounts.  The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the
request.

      Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special
requirements  under the Internal Revenue Code and certain  documents  (available
from the Transfer  Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer  Agent
before the  distribution  may be made.  Distributions  from retirement plans are
subject to  withholding  requirements  under the Internal  Revenue Code, and IRS
Form W-4P  (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer
Agent with the distribution request, or the distribution may be delayed.  Unless
the   shareholder   has  provided  the  Transfer  Agent  with  a  certified  tax
identification  number,  the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld
from any distribution  even if the shareholder  elects not to have tax withheld.
The Trust, the Manager,  the Distributor the  Sub-Distributor,  and the Transfer
Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a distribution satisfies the
conditions  of  applicable  tax laws and  will  not be  responsible  for any tax
penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

and the following money

                                          Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial America Fund, L. P.            Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
Centennial Government Trust               Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Centennial Money Market Trust

      Shares of the Trust purchased  without a sales charge may be exchanged for
shares of an eligible fund offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales
charge.   Shares  of  the  Trust  acquired  by   reinvestment  of  dividends  or
distributions  from the Trust or any of the other  eligible  funds  (other  than
Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves)  or  from  any  unit  investment  trust  for  which
reinvestment  arrangements  have been made with the Distributor may be exchanged
at net asset value for shares of any of the eligible funds.

      |_| Limits on Multiple  Exchange  Orders.  The Trust reserves the right to
reject  telephone or written  exchange  requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account.  The Trust may accept requests for exchanges of
up to 50  accounts  per day from  representatives  of  authorized  dealers  that
qualify for this privilege.

      |_| Telephone  Exchange Requests.  When exchanging shares by telephone,  a
direct  shareholder  must  have an  existing  account  in the fund to which  the
exchange is to be made. Otherwise, the investor must obtain a prospectus of that
fund before the exchange  request may be submitted.  If all telephone  lines are
busy (which  might occur,  for example,  during  periods of  substantial  market
fluctuations),  shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone
and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      |_| Processing  Exchange Requests.  Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on
the regular  business day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an exchange  request in
proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired
are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be delayed by
either  fund up to  five  business  days  if it  determines  that  it  would  be
disadvantaged  by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.  The Trust
reserves the right, in its discretion,  to refuse any exchange  request that may
disadvantage it (for example,  if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from
a dealer might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a
price that might be disadvantageous to the Trust).

      In connection with any exchange  request,  the number of shares  exchanged
may be less than the number  requested if the  exchange or the number  requested
would include  shares  subject to a restriction  cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional  Information  or would include shares covered by a share
certificate  that is not  tendered  with the request.  In those cases,  only the
shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

      The  different  eligible  funds  available  for  exchange  have  different
investment objectives,  policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the
fund selected is  appropriate  for his or her  investment and should be aware of
the tax  consequences  of an  exchange.  For  Federal  income tax  purposes,  an
exchange  transaction  is  treated as a  redemption  of shares of one fund and a
purchase of shares of another. The Trust, the Distributor,  the Sub-Distributor,
and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment,  tax or legal advice to
a shareholder  in connection  with an exchange  request or any other  investment
transaction.

      The Trust may amend,  suspend or terminate  the exchange  privilege at any
time. Although,  the Trust may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes  whenever it is required to do so by applicable
law. It may be required to provide 60 days notice prior to  materially  amending
or  terminating  the exchange  privilege.  That 60-day notice is not required in
extraordinary circumstances.

Dividends and Taxes

Tax Status of the Trust's Dividends and Distributions. The federal tax treatment
of the Trust's  dividends  and capital gains  distributions  is explained in the
Prospectus  under the  caption  "Distributions  and Taxes."  Under the  Internal
Revenue Code,  by December 31 each year,  the Trust must  distribute  98% of its
taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year
and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior
year through  October 31 of the current year. It if does not, the Trust must pay
an excise tax on the amounts not distributed.  It is presently  anticipated that
the Trust will meet those requirements.  However,  the Board of Trustees and the
Manager  might  determine  in a  particular  year  that it  would be in the best
interest of shareholders for the Trust not to make distributions at the required
levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce
the  amount  of  income  or  capital  gains   available  for   distribution   to
shareholders.   The   Trust's   dividends   will   not  be   eligible   for  the
dividends-received deduction for corporations.

      If the Trust  qualifies  as a  "regulated  investment  company"  under the
Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for federal income taxes on amounts
paid by it as  distributions.  That  qualification  enables  the  Trust to "pass
through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to
pay tax on them. The Trust  qualified as a regulated  investment  company in its
last fiscal year and intends to qualify in future years,  but reserves the right
not to qualify.  The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests to
determine whether the Trust qualifies. The Trust might not meet those tests in a
particular  year.  If it does not  qualify,  the Trust will be  treated  for tax
purposes  as an  ordinary  corporation  and will  receive no tax  deduction  for
payments of distributions made to shareholders.

      Dividends,  distributions  and the  proceeds  of the  redemption  of Trust
shares  represented  by checks  returned  to the  Transfer  Agent by the  Postal
Service as undeliverable  will be invested in shares of the Trust as promptly as
possible  after the return of such  checks to the  Transfer  Agent,  in order to
enable the investor to earn a return on otherwise idle funds.

Dividend  Reinvestment  in Another Trust.  Direct  shareholders of the Trust may
elect to reinvest all dividends  and/or capital gains  distributions  in Class A
shares of any eligible fund listed above. To elect this option,  the shareholder
must notify the Transfer  Agent in writing and must have an existing  account in
the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise, the shareholder first must obtain
a prospectus for that fund and an application  from the Distributor to establish
an account.  The investment will be made at the close of business on the payable
date of the dividend or distribution.

Additional Information About the Trust

The Distributor.  The Trust's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other
financial institutions that have a sales agreement with the Sub-Distributor. The
Distributor and the  Sub-Distributor  also distribute  shares of the other funds
managed by the Manager or an affiliate.

The Transfer Agent.  Shareholder  Services,  Inc. the Trust's  Transfer Agent,
is  responsible  for  maintaining   the  Trust's   shareholder   registry  and
shareholder  accounting records, and for paying dividends and distributions to
shareholders  of  the  Trust.  It  also  handles  shareholder   servicing  and
administrative functions.  It is paid on a "at-cost" basis.

The  Custodian.  Citibank,  N.A. is the  Custodian  of the Trust's  assets.  The
Custodian's  responsibilities  include  safeguarding and controlling the Trust's
portfolio  securities  and handling the delivery of such  securities to and from
the Trust.  It will be the practice of the Trust to deal with the Custodian in a
manner uninfluenced by any banking  relationship the Custodian may have with the
Manager and its  affiliates.  The Trust's cash  balances  with the  Custodian in
excess of  $100,000  are not  protected  by  federal  deposit  insurance.  Those
uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Auditors.  Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent auditors of the
Trust.  They audit the Trust's  financial  statements  and perform other related
audit  services.  They  also act as  auditors  for the  Manager  and OFI and for
certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Centennial Money Market Trust

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Centennial Money Market Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of investments, of Centennial Money Market Trust as of June 30,
1999, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the financial highlights for the period July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1999. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Trust'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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 June
30, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were
not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Centennial Money
Market Trust as of June 30, 1999, the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS June 30, 1999 (Continued)
Centennial Money Market Trust

Short-term notes, direct bank obligations and letters of credit are generally
traded on a discount basis; the interest rate is the discount rate received by
the Fund at the time of purchase. Other securities normally bear interest at the
rates shown.

1.   Security issued in an exempt transaction without registration under the
     Securities Act of 1933. Such securities amount to $4,194,586,244, or 23.54%
     of the Trust's net assets, and have been determined to be liquid pursuant
     to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

2.   Floating or variable rate obligation. The interest rate, which is based on
     specific, or an index of, market interest rates, is subject to change
     periodically and is the effective rate on June 30, 1999. This instrument
     may also have a demand feature which allows, on up to 30 days' notice, the
     recovery of principal at any time, or at specified intervals not exceeding
     one year. Maturity date shown represents effective maturity based on
     variable rate and, if applicable, demand feature.

3.   Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
     registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities
     have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board
     of Trustees. These securities amount to $622,055,661 or 3.49% of the
     Trust's net assets as of June 30, 1999.

4.   Represents a restricted security which is considered illiquid, by virtue of
     the absence of a readily available market or because of legal or
     contractual restrictions on resale. Such securities amount to $721,121,233,
     or 4.05% of the Trust's net assets. The Trust may not invest more than 10%
     of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase) in illiquid
     securities.

Centennial Money Market Trust


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Centennial Money Market Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust's investment objective is to seek the maximum
current income that is consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of
liquidity. The Trust seeks to achieve this objective by investing in "money
market" securities meeting specified quality, maturity and diversification
standards. The Trust's investment advisor is Centennial Asset Management
Corporation (the Manager), a subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI). The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed
by the Trust.

Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized
cost, which approximates market value.

Repurchase Agreements. The Trust requires the custodian to take possession, to
have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have
segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for
repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required
to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller
of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the
seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the
collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.

Federal Taxes. The Trust intends to continue to comply with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income or excise tax provision is required.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders, which are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of
custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Trust.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized
gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis,
which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

3. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment
advisory agreement with the Trust which provides for a fee of 0.50% of the first
$250 million of net assets, 0.475% of the next $250 million of net assets, 0.45%
of the next $250 million of net assets, 0.425% of the next $250 million of net
assets, 0.40% of the next $250 million of net assets, 0.375% of the next $250
million of net assets, 0.35% of the next $500 million of net assets and 0.325%
of net assets in excess of $2 billion. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the
Trust if aggregate expenses (with specified exceptions) exceed the lesser of
1.5% of the first $30 million of average annual net assets of the Trust, plus 1%
of average annual net assets in excess of $30 million; or 25% of the total
annual investment income of the Trust. The Trust's management fee for the year
ended June 30, 1999 was 0.34% of average annual net assets.

Shareholder Services, Inc. (SSI), a subsidiary of the OFI, is the transfer and
shareholder servicing agent for the Trust and for other registered investment
companies. SSI's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably to
these companies.

Under an approved service plan, the Trust may expend up to 0.20% of its net
assets annually to reimburse certain securities dealers and other financial
institutions and organizations for costs incurred in distributing Trust shares.

4. ACQUISITION OF DAILY CASH ACCUMULATION FUND, INC.

On November 21, 1997, the Trust acquired the net assets of Daily Cash
Accumulation Fund, Inc. The Trust issued 3,461,468,087 shares of beneficial
interest, valued at $3,460,935,372, in exchange for the net assets, resulting in
combined net assets of $13,332,466,315 on November 21, 1997. The exchange
qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Description of Securities Ratings
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a description of the two highest rating  categories for Short Term Debt
and  Long   Term   Debt  by  the   "Nationally-Recognized   Statistical   Rating
Organizations" which the Manager evaluates in purchasing securities on behalf of
the Trust.  The ratings  descriptions  are based on information  supplied by the
ratings organizations to subscribers.

Short-Term Debt Ratings.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  rating  designations  for commercial paper (defined by Moody's as
promissory  obligations not having original  maturity in excess of nine months),
are  judged by  Moody's  to be  investment  grade,  and  indicate  the  relative
repayment capacity of rated issuers:

Prime-1: Superior capacity for repayment. Capacity will normally be evidenced by
the following characteristics: (a) leveling market positions in well-established
industries;  (b)  high  rates of  return  on funds  employed;  (c)  conservative
capitalization  structures  with  moderate  reliance  on debt  and  ample  asset
protection; (d) broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and
high internal cash  generation;  and (e) well  established  access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2: Strong capacity for repayment.  This will normally be evidenced by many
of the characteristics  cited above but to a lesser degree.  Earnings trends and
coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation.  Capitalization
characteristics,  while  still  appropriate,  may be more  affected  by external
conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Moody's  ratings for state and municipal  short-term  obligations are designated
"Moody's Investment Grade" ("MIG").  Short-term notes which have demand features
may also be designated as "VMIG". These rating categories are as follows:

MIG1/VMIG1: Best quality. There is present strong protection by established cash
flows,  superior  liquidity  support or demonstrated  broad-based  access to the
market for refinancing.

MIG2/VMIG2:  High  quality.  Margins of protection  are ample  although not so
large as in the preceding group.


<PAGE>


Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  ratings by Standard & Poor's for commercial paper (defined by S&P
as debt  having  an  original  maturity  of no more than 365  days)  assess  the
likelihood of payment:

A-1:  Strong  capacity for timely  payment.  Those issues  determined to possess
extremely  strong  safety  characteristics  are  denoted  with a plus  sign  (+)
designation.

A-2: Satisfactory  capacity for timely payment.  However, the relative degree of
safety is not as high as for issues designated "A-1".

S&P's ratings for Municipal Notes due in three years or less are:

SP-1: Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess  overwhelming safety  characteristics will be given a plus
(+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

S&P assigns "dual  ratings" to all  municipal  debt issues that have a demand or
double  feature as part of their  provisions.  The first  rating  addresses  the
likelihood  of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second rating
addresses  only the demand  feature.  With  short-term  demand debt,  S&P's note
rating  symbols  are used  with  the  commercial  paper  symbols  (for  example,
"SP-1+/A-1+").


Fitch IBCA, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fitch  assigns the following  short-term  ratings to debt  obligations  that are
payable on demand or have  original  maturities  of generally up to three years,
including  commercial  paper,  certificates of deposit,  medium-term  notes, and
municipal and investment notes:

F-1+: Exceptionally strong credit quality; the strongest degree of assurance for
timely payment.

F-1: Very strong credit  quality;  assurance of timely  payment is only slightly
less in degree than issues rated "F-1+". F-2: Good credit quality;  satisfactory
degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great
as for issues assigned "F-1+" or "F-1" ratings.


Duff & Phelps, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  following  ratings are for  commercial  paper  (defined by Duff & Phelps as
obligations  with  maturities,  when  issued,  of under one year),  asset-backed
commercial paper, and certificates of deposit (the ratings cover all obligations
of the institution with maturities,  when issued,  of under one year,  including
bankers' acceptance and letters of credit):

Duff 1+: Highest certainty of timely payment.  Short-term  liquidity,  including
internal  operating  factors and/or access to alternative  sources of funds,  is
outstanding,  and  safety  is just  below  risk-free  U.S.  Treasury  short-term
obligations.

Duff 1: Very high certainty of timely payment.  Liquidity  factors are excellent
and supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are minor.

Duff 1-: High  certainty  of timely  payment.  Liquidity  factors are strong and
supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are very small.

Duff 2:  Good  certainty  of  timely  payment.  Liquidity  factors  and  company
fundamentals  are  sound.  Although  ongoing  funding  needs may  enlarge  total
financing  requirements,  access to capital  markets is good.  Risk  factors are
small.


Thomson BankWatch, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  short-term  ratings apply to commercial  paper,  certificates  of
deposit,  unsecured notes, and other securities having a maturity of one year or
less.

TBW-1:  The highest  category;  indicates the degree of safety  regarding timely
repayment of principal and interest is very strong.

TBW-2: The second highest rating category;  while the degree of safety regarding
timely  repayment of principal  and interest is strong,  the relative  degree of
safety is not as high as for issues rated "TBW-1".

Long Term Debt Ratings

These  ratings  are  relevant  for  securities  purchased  by the  Trust  with a
remaining  maturity  of 397 days or less,  or for rating  issuers of  short-term
obligations.

Moody's  Investors Service, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Aaa: Judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment
risk  and are  generally  referred  to as "gilt  edge."  Interest  payments  are
protected by a large or by an  exceptionally  stable  margin,  and  principal is
secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes
as can be  visualized  are most  unlikely  to impair  the  fundamentally  strong
positions of such issues.

Aa: Judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group
they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower
than the best  bonds  because  margins of  protection  may not be as large as in
"Aaa"  securities  or  fluctuations  of  protective  elements  may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements  present which make the long-term risks
appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

Moody's  applies  numerical  modifiers  "1",  "2"  and  "3" in its  "Aa"  rating
classification. The modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks in the higher
end of its generic  rating  category;  the  modifier  "2"  indicates a mid-range
ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of
its generic rating category.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

AAA:  The highest rating  assigned by S&P.  Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.

AA:   A strong  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal  and differ from
"AAA" rated issues only in small degree.

Fitch IBCA, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAA:  Considered to be  investment  grade and of the highest  credit  quality.
The obligor has an  exceptionally  strong  ability to pay  interest  and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA:  Considered  to be  investment  grade and of very high credit  quality.  The
obligor's  ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong,  although
not quite as strong as bonds rated "AAA".  Plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used
in the "AA"  category to indicate the relative  position of a credit within that
category.

Because  bonds  rated in the "AAA"  and "AA"  categories  are not  significantly
vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,  short-term debt of these issuers
is generally rated "F-1+".

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duff & Phelps, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAA:  The highest  credit  quality.  The risk  factors are  negligible,  being
only slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.

AA: High credit quality.  Protection factors are strong.  Risk is modest but may
vary  slightly  from time to time because of economic  conditions.  Plus (+) and
minus (-) signs are used in the "AA" category to indicate the relative  position
of a credit within that category.

Thomson BankWatch, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TBW issues  the  following  ratings  for  companies.  These  ratings  assess the
likelihood of receiving  payment of principal and interest on a timely basis and
incorporate  TBW's  opinion as to the  vulnerability  of the  company to adverse
developments,  which may impact the market's perception of the company,  thereby
affecting the marketability of its securities.

A:  Possesses  an  exceptionally  strong  balance  sheet  and  earnings  record,
translating into an excellent  reputation and unquestioned access to its natural
money  markets.  If  weakness  or  vulnerability  exists  in any  aspect  of the
company's   business,   it  is  entirely  mitigated  by  the  strengths  of  the
organization.

      A/B:  The  company is  financially  very solid  with a  favorable  track
                  record and no readily  apparent  weakness.  Its overall risk
                  profile,  while  low,  is  not  quite  as  favorable  as for
                  companies in the highest rating

Additional Information About the Trust's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment  objective and the principal investment policies of the Trust are
described in the Prospectus.  This Statement of Additional  Information contains
supplemental  information  about those policies and the types of securities that
the Trust's investment manager,  Centennial Asset Management  Corporation,  will
select  for the  Trust.  Additional  explanations  are also  provided  about the
strategies the Trust may use to try to achieve its objective.

The Trust's  Investment  Policies.  The composition of the Trust's portfolio and
the  techniques  and  strategies  that the  Trust's  Manager  uses in  selecting
portfolio  securities  will vary over time. The Trust is not required to use all
of the  investment  techniques and  strategies  described  below at all times in
seeking  its goal.  It may use some of the  special  investment  techniques  and
strategies at some times or not at all.

      The Trust does not make  investments with the objective of seeking capital
growth.  However, the values of the securities held by the Trust may be affected
by changes in general interest rates and other factors, prior to their maturity.
Because the current  values of debt  securities  vary  inversely with changes in
prevailing  interest  rates,  if  interest  rates  increase  after a security is
purchased,  that  security  will  normally  fall in  value.  Conversely,  should
interest rates  decrease after a security is purchased,  normally its value will
rise.

      However, those fluctuations in value will not generally result in realized
gains or losses to the Trust  unless the Trust sells the  security  prior to the
security's  maturity.  A debt  security  held to maturity is  redeemable  by its
issuer at full principal value plus accrued interest. The Trust does not usually
intend to  dispose  of  securities  prior to their  maturity,  but may do so for
liquidity purposes,  or because of other factors affecting the issuer that cause
the  Manager to sell the  particular  security.  In that case,  the Trust  could
realize a capital gain or loss on the sale.

      There are variations in the credit quality of municipal  securities,  both
within a particular rating  classification  and between  classifications.  These
variations depend on numerous factors. The yields of municipal securities depend
on a number of factors, including general conditions in the municipal securities
market,  the size of a particular  offering,  the maturity of the obligation and
rating (if any) of the issue.  These  factors are  discussed  in greater  detail
below.

Municipal  Securities.  The types of municipal securities in which the Trust may
invest are described in the  Prospectus  under "About the Trust's  Investments."
Municipal  securities  are  generally  classified as general  obligation  bonds,
revenue bonds and notes.  A discussion of the general  characteristics  of these
principal types of municipal securities follows below.

      |X| Municipal  Bonds. We have  classified  municipal  securities  having a
maturity  (when the  security  is  issued)  of more than one year as  "municipal
bonds." The principal  classifications of long-term municipal bonds are "general
obligation" and "revenue" (including  "industrial  development") bonds. They may
have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest, as described below.

            Some bonds may be  "callable,"  allowing  the issuer to redeem  them
before their maturity date. To protect bondholders, callable bonds may be issued
with  provisions  that  prevent  them from  being  called  for a period of time.
Typically,  that is 5 to 10 years from the issuance  date.  When interest  rates
decline,  if the call  protection on a bond has expired,  it is more likely that
the issuer may call the bond.  If that occurs,  the Trust might have to reinvest
the proceeds of the called bond in bonds that pay a lower rate of return.

        |_|  General   Obligation  Bonds.  The  basic  security  behind  general
obligation  bonds is the issuer's pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing
power,  if any,  for the  repayment  of  principal  and the payment of interest.
Issuers of general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns, and
regional  districts.  The proceeds of these  obligations are used to fund a wide
range of public  projects,  including  construction  or  improvement of schools,
highways and roads,  and water and sewer systems.  The rate of taxes that can be
levied  for the  payment  of debt  service  on these  bonds  may be  limited  or
unlimited. Additionally, there may be limits as to the rate or amount of special
assessments that can be levied to meet these obligations.

        |_|  Revenue  Bonds.  The  principal  security  for a  revenue  bond  is
generally  the  net  revenues  derived  from a  particular  facility,  group  of
facilities,  or, in some cases,  the  proceeds of a special  excise tax or other
specific  revenue source.  Revenue bonds are issued to finance a wide variety of
capital  projects.  Examples  include  electric,  gas,  water and sewer systems;
highways,  bridges,  and  tunnels;  port and airport  facilities;  colleges  and
universities; and hospitals.

      Although  the  principal  security  for these types of bonds may vary from
bond to bond,  many  provide  additional  security in the form of a debt service
reserve fund that may be used to make  principal  and  interest  payments on the
issuer's obligations. Housing finance authorities have a wide range of security,
including   partially  or  fully  insured  mortgages,   rent  subsidized  and/or
collateralized  mortgages,  and/or the net revenues from housing or other public
projects.  Some  authorities  provide further  security in the form of a state's
ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve
fund.

        |_|  Industrial  Development  Bonds.  Industrial  development  bonds are
considered  municipal  bonds if the interest paid is exempt from federal  income
tax.  They are issued by or on behalf of public  authorities  to raise  money to
finance various privately  operated  facilities for business and  manufacturing,
housing,  sports, and pollution control. These bonds may also be used to finance
public  facilities such as airports,  mass transit systems,  ports, and parking.
The payment of the principal  and interest on such bonds is dependent  solely on
the ability of the  facility's  user to meet its financial  obligations  and the
pledge,  if any, of real and personal  property financed by the bond as security
for those payments.

        |_| Private Activity  Municipal  Securities.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986
(the "Tax Reform Act") reorganized,  as well as amended, the rules governing tax
exemption for interest on certain types of municipal securities.  The Tax Reform
Act  generally  did not change  the tax  treatment  of bonds  issued in order to
finance  governmental  operations.  Thus,  interest on general  obligation bonds
issued by or on behalf of state or local governments,  the proceeds of which are
used to finance the operations of such governments,  continues to be tax-exempt.
However,   the  Tax  Reform  Act  limited  the  use  of  tax-exempt   bonds  for
non-governmental  (private) purposes. More stringent restrictions were placed on
the use of proceeds of such bonds. Interest on certain private activity bonds is
taxable  under  the  revised  rules.  There  is  an  exception  for  "qualified"
tax-exempt private activity bonds, for example,  exempt facility bonds including
certain  industrial  development  bonds,  qualified  mortgage  bonds,  qualified
Section 501(c)(3) bonds, and qualified student loan bonds.  Normally,  the Trust
will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in private activity  municipal
securities or other taxable investments.

      In addition,  limitations as to the amount of private activity bonds which
each state may issue were  revised  downward by the Tax Reform  Act,  which will
reduce the supply of such  bonds.  The value of the Trust's  portfolio  could be
affected if there is a reduction in the availability of such bonds.

      Interest on certain  private  activity  bonds issued after August 7, 1986,
which  continues  to be  tax-exempt,  will be treated as a tax  preference  item
subject  to the  alternative  minimum  tax  (discussed  below) to which  certain
taxpayers are subject.  The Trust may hold municipal  securities the interest on
which (and thus a proportionate share of the  exempt-interest  dividends paid by
the Trust) will be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax on individuals
and corporations.

      The federal alternative minimum tax is designed to ensure that all persons
who receive  income pay some tax,  even if their  regular  tax is zero.  This is
accomplished in part by including in taxable income certain tax preference items
that are used to calculate  alternative  minimum taxable income.  The Tax Reform
Act  made  tax-exempt  interest  from  certain  private  activity  bonds  a  tax
preference item for purposes of the  alternative  minimum tax on individuals and
corporations.  Any  exempt-interest  dividend  paid  by a  regulated  investment
company will be treated as interest on a specific  private  activity bond to the
extent of the  proportionate  relationship  the interest the investment  company
receives on such bonds bears to all its exempt interest dividends.

      In addition,  corporate  taxpayers subject to the alternative  minimum tax
may,  under some  circumstances,  have to include  exempt-interest  dividends in
calculating  their  alternative  minimum  taxable  income.  That could  occur in
situations where the "adjusted current earnings" of the corporation  exceeds its
alternative minimum taxable income.

      To determine whether a municipal  security is treated as a taxable private
activity  bond,  it is subject to a test for:  (a) a trade or  business  use and
security  interest,  or (b) a  private  loan  restriction.  Under  the  trade or
business use and security  interest  test, an  obligation is a private  activity
bond if: (i) more than 10% of the bond  proceeds  are used for private  business
purposes  and (ii) 10% or more of the  payment of  principal  or interest on the
issue is directly or  indirectly  derived from such private use or is secured by
the privately used property or the payments  related to the use of the property.
For certain types of uses, a 5% threshold is substituted for this 10% threshold.

      The term  "private  business  use" means any direct or  indirect  use in a
trade or business  carried on by an  individual  or entity other than a state or
municipal  governmental unit. Under the private loan restriction,  the amount of
bond proceeds that may be used to make private loans is limited to the lesser of
5% or $5.0 million of the proceeds. Thus, certain issues of municipal securities
could lose their  tax-exempt  status  retroactively  if the issuer fails to meet
certain  requirements as to the expenditure of the proceeds of that issue or the
use of the bond-financed facility. The Trust makes no independent  investigation
of the users of such bonds or their use of proceeds  of the bonds.  If the Trust
should hold a bond that loses its tax-exempt status  retroactively,  there might
be  an  adjustment  to  the   tax-exempt   income   previously   distributed  to
shareholders.

      Additionally,  a private activity bond that would otherwise be a qualified
tax-exempt  private  activity bond will not, under Internal Revenue Code Section
147(a),  be a qualified  bond for any period during which it is held by a person
who is a "substantial user" of the facilities or by a "related person" of such a
substantial user. This "substantial  user" provision applies primarily to exempt
facility bonds,  including industrial development bonds. The Trust may invest in
industrial  development bonds and other private activity bonds.  Therefore,  the
Trust may not be an appropriate  investment for entities which are  "substantial
users" (or persons  related to "substantial  users") of such exempt  facilities.
Those entities and persons should consult their tax advisers  before  purchasing
shares of the Trust.

      A  "substantial  user"  of  such  facilities  is  defined  generally  as a
"non-exempt  person who  regularly  uses part of a facility"  financed  from the
proceeds  of exempt  facility  bonds.  Generally,  an  individual  will not be a
"related  person" under the Internal  Revenue Code unless such individual or the
individual's   immediate  family  (spouse,   brothers,   sisters  and  immediate
descendants)  own directly or indirectly in the aggregate more than 50% in value
of the equity of a corporation or partnership which is a "substantial user" of a
facility financed from the proceeds of exempt facility bonds.

      |X| Municipal  Notes.  Municipal  securities  having a maturity  (when the
security is issued) of one year or less are generally known as municipal  notes.
Municipal  notes  generally are used to provide for short-term  working  capital
needs.  Some of the  types of  municipal  notes  the  Trust  can  invest  in are
described below.

        |_| Tax Anticipation  Notes. These are issued to finance working capital
needs of municipalities.  Generally,  they are issued in anticipation of various
seasonal tax revenue,  such as income,  sales,  use or other business taxes, and
are payable from these specific future taxes.

     |_| Revenue  Anticipation  Notes.  These are notes issued in expectation of
receipt of other  types of revenue,  such as federal  revenues  available  under
federal revenue-sharing programs.

        |_| Bond  Anticipation  Notes.  Bond  anticipation  notes are  issued to
provide  interim  financing  until  long-term  financing  can be  arranged.  The
long-term  bonds  that are  issued  typically  also  provide  the  money for the
repayment of the notes.

        |_|  Construction  Loan  Notes.   These  are  sold  to  provide  project
construction   financing  until  permanent  financing  can  be  secured.   After
successful  completion and acceptance of the project,  it may receive  permanent
financing through public agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration.

     |X|  Tax  Exempt  Commercial  Paper.  This  type of  short-term  obligation
(usually  having a maturity of 270 days or less) is issued by a municipality  to
meet current working capital needs.

      |X| Municipal  Lease  Obligations.  The Trust's  investments  in municipal
lease obligations may be through  certificates of participation that are offered
to investors by public  entities.  Municipal leases may take the form of a lease
or an  installment  purchase  contract  issued  by a state or  local  government
authority to obtain funds to acquire a wide variety of equipment and facilities.

      Some municipal lease securities may be deemed to be "illiquid" securities.
Their  purchase by the Trust would be limited as  described  below in  "Illiquid
Securities."  From  time to time the Trust  may  invest  more than 5% of its net
assets in municipal  lease  obligations  that the Manager has  determined  to be
liquid under guidelines set by the Board of Trustees.  Those guidelines  require
the Manager to evaluate:
      |_| the frequency of trades and price quotations for such securities;
     |_| the number of dealers or other potential  buyers willing to purchase or
     sell such securities;
     |_| the availability of market-makers; and
     |_| the nature of the trades for such securities.

            Municipal  leases have special risk  considerations.  Although lease
obligations do not constitute general  obligations of the municipality for which
the  municipality's  taxing power is pledged,  a lease  obligation is ordinarily
backed by the  municipality's  covenant to budget for,  appropriate and make the
payments due under the lease  obligation.  However,  certain  lease  obligations
contain  "non-appropriation"  clauses which provide that the municipality has no
obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless
money is appropriated  for that purpose on a yearly basis.  While the obligation
might be secured by the lease, it might be difficult to dispose of that property
in case of a default.

      Projects  financed with  certificates of  participation  generally are not
subject to state constitutional debt limitations or other statutory requirements
that may apply to other municipal  securities.  Payments by the public entity on
the obligation  underlying the certificates  are derived from available  revenue
sources.  That  revenue  might be  diverted  to the  funding of other  municipal
service  projects.  Payments of interest  and/or  principal  with respect to the
certificates  are not  guaranteed and do not constitute an obligation of a state
or any of its political subdivisions.

      In addition to the risk of "non-appropriation," municipal lease securities
do not have as highly liquid a market as conventional municipal bonds. Municipal
leases,  like  other  municipal  debt  obligations,  are  subject to the risk of
non-payment of interest or repayment of principal by the issuer.  The ability of
issuers of  municipal  leases to make timely  lease  payments  may be  adversely
affected in general economic downturns and as relative governmental cost burdens
are reallocated among federal,  state and local governmental units. A default in
payment of income would  result in a reduction of income to the Trust.  It could
also result in a reduction in the value of the municipal lease and that, as well
as a default in  repayment of  principal,  could result in a decrease in the net
asset  value of the Trust.  While the Trust holds such  securities,  the Manager
will also evaluate the  likelihood of a continuing  market for these  securities
and their credit quality.

Floating  Rate/Variable  Rate  Obligations.  The Trust may invest in instruments
with floating or variable  interest rates.  The interest rate on a floating rate
obligation is based on a stated  prevailing  market rate, such as a bank's prime
rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, the rate of return on commercial paper
or bank  certificates  of  deposit,  or some  other  standard.  The  rate on the
investment is adjusted  automatically each time the market rate is adjusted. The
interest rate on a variable rate obligation is also based on a stated prevailing
market rate but is adjusted  automatically  at a specified  interval of not less
than one year.  Some  variable rate or floating  rate  obligations  in which the
Trust may invest have a demand feature entitling the holder to demand payment of
an amount  approximately  equal to the amortized  cost of the  instrument or the
principal  amount of the  instrument  plus accrued  interest at any time,  or at
specified intervals not exceeding one year. These notes may or may not be backed
by bank letters of credit.

      Variable  rate demand notes may include  master  demand  notes,  which are
obligations that permit the Trust to invest  fluctuating  amounts in a note. The
amount may change daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between
the Trust, as the note purchaser, and the issuer of the note. The interest rates
on  these  notes  fluctuate  from  time to  time.  The  issuer  of this  type of
obligation normally has a corresponding  right in its discretion,  after a given
period,  to prepay  the  outstanding  principal  amount of the  obligation  plus
accrued interest. The issuer must give a specified number of days' notice to the
holders of those  obligations.  Generally,  the changes in the interest  rate on
those securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As interest rates
decrease or increase,  the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is
less than that for fixed-rate obligations having the same maturity.

      Because these types of obligations are direct lending arrangements between
the note purchaser and issuer of the note, these instruments  generally will not
be traded.  Generally,  there is no established secondary market for these types
of  obligations,  although  they are  redeemable  from the issuer at face value.
Accordingly,  where  these  obligations  are not secured by letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements, the Trust's right to redeem them is dependent
on the ability of the note issuer to pay principal and interest on demand. These
types of obligations usually are not rated by credit rating agencies.  The Trust
may invest in obligations  that are not rated only if the Manager  determines at
the time of investment that they are Eligible Securities. The Manager, on behalf
of the Trust, will monitor the  creditworthiness  of the issuers of the floating
and variable  rate  obligations  in the Trust's  portfolio on an ongoing  basis.
There is no limit on the amount of the  Trust's  assets  that may be invested in
floating rate and variable rate  obligations  that meet the requirements of Rule
2a-7.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions.  As stated in the Prospectus, the
Trust  may  invest  in  municipal  securities  on a  "when-issued"  or  "delayed
delivery" basis. Payment for and delivery of the securities shall not exceed 120
days from the date the offer is accepted. The purchase price and yield are fixed
at the time the buyer enters into the commitment.  During the period between the
time of commitment and settlement, no payment is made by the Trust to the issuer
and no interest  accrues to the Trust from this investment.  However,  the Trust
intends to be as fully  invested as possible and will not invest in  when-issued
securities  if its  income  or net  asset  value  will be  materially  adversely
affected.  At the time the Trust  makes the  commitment  to purchase a municipal
security on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction on its books and
reflect the value of the security in  determining  its net asset value.  It will
also  segregate cash or other liquid high quality  Securities  equal in value to
the commitment for the when-issued securities.  While when-issued securities may
be sold prior to settlement  date,  the Trust intends to acquire the  securities
upon settlement  unless a prior sale appears  desirable for investment  reasons.
There is a risk that the yield  available in the market when delivery occurs may
be higher than the yield on the security acquired.

      |X|  Ratings  of   Securities   --   Portfolio   Quality,   Maturity   and
Diversification.  Under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment  Company Act, the Trust uses
the  amortized  cost method to value its  portfolio  securities to determine the
Trust's net asset  value per share.  Rule 2a-7  places  restrictions  on a money
market fund's  investments.  Under that Rule,  the Trust may purchase only those
securities that the Manager,  under  Board-approved  procedures,  has determined
have minimal credit risks and are "Eligible Securities." The rating restrictions
described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information do not
apply to banks in which the Trust's cash is kept.

      An  "Eligible  Security"  is one  that  has  been  rated in one of the two
highest   short-term  rating   categories  by  any  two   "nationally-recognized
statistical  rating  organizations."  That term is defined in Rule 2a-7 and they
are  referred  to as "Rating  Organizations"  in this  Statement  of  Additional
Information.  If only one Rating  Organization has rated that security,  it must
have been  rated in one of the two  highest  rating  categories  by that  Rating
Organization.  An  unrated  security  that is  judged  by the  Manager  to be of
comparable quality to Eligible Securities rated by Rating Organizations may also
be an "Eligible Security."

      Rule  2a-7  permits  the Trust to  purchase  any  number  of  "First  Tier
Securities."  These are Eligible  Securities that have been rated in the highest
rating  category  for  short-term  debt  obligations  by  at  least  two  Rating
Organizations.  If only one Rating Organization has rated a particular security,
it  must  have  been  rated  in the  highest  rating  category  by  that  Rating
Organization. Comparable unrated securities may also be First Tier Securities.

      Under Rule 2a-7, the Trust may invest only up to 5% of its total assets in
"Second Tier Securities." Those are Eligible Securities that are not "First Tier
Securities." In addition, the Trust may not invest more than:
      |_| 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than
      the U.S. government,  its agencies or  instrumentalities) or
     |_| 1% of its total assets or $1 million  (whichever  is greater) in Second
     Tier Conduit Securities of any one issuer.

      The  Trust  may buy  second  tier  "conduit  securities".  These  eligible
securities are securities rated by rating  organizations  but are not first tier
securities.  Conduit  securities  are  municipal  securities  such as industrial
development  or revenue  bonds issued to finance  non-government  projects.  The
payment  of the  principal  and  interest  on a  conduit  security  is  not  the
obligation of the municipal issuer,  but is the obligation of another person who
is ultimately responsible for the payment of principal and interest, such as the
user of the facility.

      Under  Rule  2a-7,  the Trust  must  maintain  a  dollar-weighted  average
portfolio  maturity  of not more than 90 days,  and the  maturity  of any single
portfolio  investment  may not  exceed  397 days.  The Board  regularly  reviews
reports  from the  Manager to show the  Manager's  compliance  with the  Trust's
procedures and with the Rule.

      If a  security's  rating is  downgraded,  the Manager  and/or the Board of
Trustees may have to reassess  the  security's  credit  risk.  If a security has
ceased to be a First Tier Security,  the Manager will promptly  reassess whether
the security  continues to present  minimal credit risk. If the Manager  becomes
aware that any Rating  Organization  has  downgraded its rating of a Second Tier
Security or rated an unrated  security below its second highest rating category,
the Trust's  Board of Trustees  shall  promptly  reassess  whether the  security
presents  minimal  credit  risk and whether it is in the best  interests  of the
Trust to dispose of it. If the Trust  disposes of the security  within five days
of the Manager learning of the downgrade,  the Manager will provide the Board of
Trustees with subsequent notice of such downgrade.  If a security is in default,
or ceases to be an  Eligible  Security,  or is  determined  no longer to present
minimal credit risks,  the Board of Trustees must determine  whether it would be
in the best interests of the Trust to dispose of the security.

      The Rating  Organizations  currently  designated as  nationally-recognized
statistical rating  organizations by the Securities and Exchange  Commission are
Standard & Poor's  Corporation,  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc., Fitch IBCA,
Inc.,  Duff and Phelps,  Inc., and Thomson  BankWatch,  Inc.  Appendix A to this
Statement  of  Additional   Information  contains  descriptions  of  the  rating
categories of those Rating  Organizations.  Ratings at the time of purchase will
determine  whether  securities may be acquired under the restrictions  described
above.

Other Investment Strategies

Repurchase  Agreements.  In a  repurchase  transaction,  the  Trust  acquires  a
security  from,  and  simultaneously  resells it to, an approved  vendor (a U.S.
commercial  bank or the U.S.  branch of a foreign  bank  having  total  domestic
assets of at least $1 billion or a broker-dealer  with a net capital of at least
$50  million  and  which has been  designated  a  primary  dealer in  government
securities).  The resale  price  exceeds  the  purchase  price by an amount that
reflects an agreed-upon  interest rate effective for the period during which the
repurchase  agreement is in effect.  The majority of these transactions run from
day to day, and delivery  pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one
to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements are considered "loans" under
the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended (the  "Investment  Company Act")
collateralized by the underlying  security.  The Trust's  repurchase  agreements
require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in effect, the value
of  the  collateral  must  equal  or  exceed  the  repurchase   price  to  fully
collateralize the repayment obligation.  Additionally,  the Manager will monitor
the vendor's  creditworthiness  to confirm that the vendor is financially  sound
and will continuously monitor the collateral's value.

Puts and Standby Commitments.  When the Trust buys municipal securities,  it may
obtain a standby  commitment  from the seller to repurchase the securities  that
entitles the Trust to achieve same day settlement  from the  repurchaser  and to
receive an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security
plus  accrued  interest,  if any, at the time of  exercise.  A put  purchased in
conjunction  with a municipal  security enables the Trust to sell the underlying
security within a specified  period of time at a fixed exercise price. The Trust
may pay for a standby commitment or put either separately in cash or by paying a
higher price for the securities  acquired  subject to the standby  commitment or
put.  The Trust will enter into these  transactions  only with banks and dealers
which,  in the Manager's  opinion,  present  minimal  credit risks.  The Trust's
purchases  of puts  are  subject  to the  provisions  of  Rule  2a-7  under  the
Investment Company Act because the Trust uses the amortized cost method to value
its portfolio  securities.  An unconditional  put or guarantee with respect to a
security  will not be  deemed  to be issued  by the  institution  providing  the
guarantee or put,  provided that the value of all  securities  held by the Trust
and issued or guaranteed by the issuer  providing the guarantee or put shall not
exceed 10% of the Trust's total assets.

Diversification.  For purposes of  diversification  under the Investment Company
Act, and the Trust's investment  restrictions,  the identification of the issuer
of a Municipal Bond or Note depends on the terms and conditions of the security.
When the assets and revenues of an agency,  authority,  instrumentality or other
political  subdivision  are separate from those of the  government  creating the
subdivision  and the  security is backed only by the assets and  revenues of the
subdivision,  such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
in the case of an  industrial  development  bond, if that bond is backed only by
the assets and revenues of the nongovernmental  user, then such  nongovernmental
user would be deemed to be the sole issuer.  If,  however,  in either case,  the
creating government or some other entity guarantees a security, such a guarantee
would be considered a separate security and is to be treated as an issue of such
government or other entity.  Conduit  securities  are deemed to be issued by the
person  ultimately  responsible  for payments of interest  and  principal on the
security.

Investment Restrictions

      |X|  What Are  "Fundamental  Policies?"  Fundamental  policies  are  those
policies  that the  Trust has  adopted  to govern  its  investments  that can be
changed  only by the vote of a  "majority"  of the  Trust's  outstanding  voting
securities.  Under the Investment  Company Act, a "majority"  vote is defined as
the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

        |_| 67% or more of the  shares  present  or  represented  by  proxy at a
      shareholder  meeting,  if the holders of more than 50% of the  outstanding
      shares are present or represented by proxy, or
        |_| more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Trust's investment  objective is a fundamental policy.  Other policies
described in the  Prospectus  or this  Statement of Additional  Information  are
"fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Trust's Board of Trustees
can change  non-fundamental  policies  without  shareholder  approval.  However,
significant  changes to investment  policies will be described in supplements or
updates to the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional  Information,  as
appropriate.  The Trust's most significant  investment policies are described in
the Prospectus.

     Does  the  Trust  Have  Additional   Fundamental  Policies?  The  following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Trust:

        |_| The Trust cannot make loans,  except by purchasing debt  obligations
in  accordance  with its  investment  policies as  approved by the Board,  or by
entering  into  repurchase  agreements,  or by lending  portfolio  securities in
accordance with applicable regulations;

        |_| The Trust  cannot  borrow  money  except as a temporary  measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes, and then only up to 10% of the value of its
assets; no more than 10% of the Trust's net assets may be pledged,  mortgaged or
assigned  to  secure  a  debt;  no  investments  may be made  while  outstanding
borrowings,  other than by means of reverse repurchase agreements (which are not
considered borrowings under this restriction), exceed 5% of its assets;
        |_| The  Trust  cannot  invest  more  than 5% of the  value of its total
assets taken at market value in the  securities of any one issuer (not including
the U.S. government or its agencies or  instrumentalities,  whose securities may
be purchased without limitation for defensive purposes);

        |_| The Trust cannot  purchase more than 10% of the  outstanding  voting
securities  of any  one  issuer  or  invest  in  companies  for the  purpose  of
exercising control;

        |_| The Trust cannot concentrate investments to the extent of 25% of its
assets in any industry;  however,  there is no limitation as to investment,  for
liquidity  purposes,  in  obligations  issued  by  banks  or  savings  and  loan
associations or in obligations issued by the U.S.  government or its agencies or
instrumentalities;

        |_| The Trust cannot  invest in  commodities  or commodity  contracts or
invest in interests  in oil, gas or other  mineral  exploration  or  development
programs;

        |_| The  Trust  cannot  invest  in real  estate;  however  the Trust may
purchase municipal bonds or notes secured by interests in real estate;

        |_| The  Trust  cannot  make  short  sales  of  securities  or  purchase
securities on margin,  except for short-term credits necessary for the clearance
of purchases and sales of portfolio securities;

        |_| The Trust cannot invest in or hold securities of any issuer if those
officers and trustees or directors of the Trust or its advisor who  beneficially
own  individually  more than 0.5% of the securities of such issuer  together own
more than 5% of the securities of such issuer;

        |_| The Trust  cannot  underwrite  securities  issued  by other  persons
except to the extent that, in connection  with the  disposition of its portfolio
investments,  it  may  be  deemed  to be an  underwriter  for  purposes  of  the
Securities Act of 1933;

        |_| The Trust cannot invest in securities of other investment  companies
except as they may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition
of assets; or

        |_| The  Trust  cannot  issue  "senior  securities,"  but this  does not
prohibit  certain  investment  activities  for  which  assets  of the  Trust are
designated  as  segregated,  or margin,  collateral or escrow  arrangements  are
established, to cover the related obligations.

      Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information  states
that a percentage  restriction  applies on an ongoing basis,  it applies only at
the time the Trust makes an  investment.  The Trust need not sell  securities to
meet  the  percentage  limits  if the  value  of  the  investment  increases  in
proportion to the size of the Trust.

      For purposes of the Trust's policy not to concentrate  its  investments in
securities of issuers,  the Trust has adopted the industry  classifications  set
forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional  Information.  This is not a
fundamental policy.

How the Trust Is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The Trust is an  open-end,  diversified  management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts  business trust in 1985, with an
unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest.

      The Trust is governed by a Board of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for
protecting the interests of shareholders  under  Massachusetts law. The Trustees
meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust's activities,  review
its performance,  and review the actions of the Manager. Although the Trust will
not normally hold annual meetings of its  shareholders,  it may hold shareholder
meetings from time to time on important  matters.  Shareholders of the Trust may
have the right to call a meeting  to remove a Trustee  or to take  other  action
described in the Declaration of Trust.

      |X|  Classes of Shares.  The Trust has a single  class of shares of stock.
While that class has no designation,  it is deemed to be the equivalent of Class
A for purposes of the shareholder  account policies that apply to Class A shares
of the  Oppenheimer  funds.  Shares of the Trust are freely  transferable.  Each
share  has one vote at  shareholder  meetings,  with  fractional  shares  voting
proportionally  on matters  submitted  to a vote of  shareholders.  There are no
preemptive or conversion rights and shares participate  equally in the assets of
the Trust upon liquidation.

      |X| Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust
is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold,  regular annual  meetings of
shareholders.  The  Trust  will  hold  meetings  when  required  to do so by the
Investment  Company  Act or  other  applicable  law.  It will  also do so when a
shareholder  meeting is called by the  Trustees  or upon  proper  request of the
shareholders.

      Shareholders  have the right,  upon the  declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds  of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust,  to remove a Trustee.  The
Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee
upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of the outstanding  shares
of the Trust.  If the Trustees  receive a request from at least 10  shareholders
stating  that they wish to  communicate  with  other  shareholders  to request a
meeting to remove a Trustee,  the Trustees will then either make the shareholder
lists of the Trust  available to the applicants or mail their  communication  to
all other shareholders at the applicants'  expense.  The shareholders making the
request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares
of the  Trust  valued  at  $25,000  or more or  constituting  at least 1% of the
outstanding  shares of the Trust,  whichever is less. The Trustees may also take
other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

        |_| Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Declaration of Trust contains
an express  disclaimer  of  shareholder  or Trustee  liability  for the  Trust's
obligations.  It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses
out of the Trust's property for any shareholder  held personally  liable for its
obligations.  The Declaration of Trust also states that upon request,  the Trust
shall assume the defense of any claim made against a shareholder  for any act or
obligation  of  the  Trust  and  shall  satisfy  any  judgment  on  that  claim.
Massachusetts  law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Trust)
to be  held  personally  liable  as a  "partner"  under  certain  circumstances.
However,  the risk that a Trust shareholder will incur financial loss from being
held  liable as a  "partner"  of the Trust is limited to the  relatively  remote
circumstances in which the Trust would be unable to meet its obligations.
      The Trust's contractual  arrangements state that any person doing business
with the Trust (and each  shareholder of the Trust) agrees under the Declaration
of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Trust for satisfaction of any claim
or demand that may arise out of any dealings with the Trust.  Additionally,  the
Trustees  shall have no personal  liability  to any such  person,  to the extent
permitted by law.

   1.  For the 1998 calendar year.

     [_] Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees.  The Trustees have adopted
a Deferred  Compensation  Plan for  disinterested  Trustees that enables them to
elect to defer  receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled
to receive  from the  Trust.  Under the plan,  the  compensation  deferred  by a
Trustee  is  periodically  adjusted  as though  an  equivalent  amount  had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The
amount paid to the  Trustee  under this plan will be  determined  based upon the
performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral  of fees of the  Trustees  under  this plan  will not  materially
affect the Trust's assets,  liabilities or net income per share.  This plan will
not  obligate  the Trust to retain  the  services  of any  Trustee or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Trustee.  Pursuant to an Order issued by
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  the Trust  may  invest in the funds
selected by any Trustee  under this plan  without  shareholder  approval for the
limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustees' deferred fee accounts.

      |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of October 21, 1999 the only person who owned
of  record  or was  known  by the  Trust to own  beneficially  5% or more of the
Trust's outstanding retail shares was A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.  ("Edwards"),  1
North Jefferson Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, which owned 1,685,042,691.570
shares of the Trust  which was 98.5% of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust on
that date,  for accounts of its customers none of whom  individually  owned more
than 5% of the outstanding shares..

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., which is a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Oppenheimer  Acquisition  Corp.,  a holding  company
controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

      The portfolio  managers of the Trust are  principally  responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Trust's investment portfolio.  Other members of the
Manager's  fixed-income  portfolio  department,  particularly security analysts,
traders and other portfolio  managers,  have broad experience with  fixed-income
securities.  They  provide the Trust's  portfolio  managers  with  research  and
support in managing the Trust's investments.

      |X| The Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Manager provides  investment
advisory  and  management  services  to the Trust under an  investment  advisory
agreement between the Manager and the Trust. The Manager selects  securities for
the Trust's  portfolio  and  handles  its  day-to-day  business.  The  agreement
requires the Manager,  at its expense, to provide the Trust with adequate office
space,  facilities  and  equipment.  It also requires the Manager to provide and
supervise the activities of all  administrative  and clerical personnel required
to  provide  effective  administration  for the  Trust.  Those  responsibilities
include  the  compilation  and  maintenance  of  records  with  respect  to  its
operations,  the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of
proxy materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares
of the Trust.

      Expenses  not  expressly  assumed  by the  Manager  under  the  investment
advisory  agreement are paid by the Trust.  The  investment  advisory  agreement
lists  examples of expenses paid by the Trust.  The major  categories  relate to
interest,  taxes,  fees to  unaffiliated  Trustees,  legal and  audit  expenses,
custodian and transfer agent expenses,  share issuance costs,  certain  printing
and registration costs and non-recurring  expenses,  including litigation costs.
The management fees paid by the Trust to the Manager are calculated at the rates
described in the Prospectus.

      Under its  Agreement  with The Trust,  when the value of the  Trust's  net
assets is less than $1.5  billion,  the  annual fee  payable  to the  Manager is
reduced by  $100,000  based on the average  net assets  computed  daily and paid
monthly at the annual  rates,  but in no event shall the annual fee be less than
$0. This  contractual  provision  resulted in a reduction of the fee which would
otherwise  have been  payable to the Manager  during the fiscal years ended June
30, 1997, 1998, and 1999,  respectively,  in the following amounts:  $19,945, $0
and $0.

      In addition, under its Agreement with The Trust, the Manager has agreed to
assume that Trust's expenses to the extent that the total expenses (as described
above) of the Trust exceed the most stringent limits  prescribed by any state in
which the Trust's shares are offered for sale. The payment of the management fee
at the end of any month  will be  reduced  so that at no time will  there be any
accrued but unpaid  liabilities  under any of these  expense  assumptions.  As a
result of changes in federal  securities laws which have effectively  pre-empted
state  expense  limitations,   the  contractual   commitment  relating  to  such
reimbursements is no longer relevant.

    The Agreement provides that the Manager assumes no responsibility  under the
Agreement  other than that which is imposed by law, and shall not be responsible
for any action of the Board of Trustees of the Trust in  following  or declining
to follow any advice or recommendations  of the Manager.  The Agreement provides
that the  Manager  shall not be liable for any error of  judgment  or mistake of
law, or for any loss suffered by the Trust in  connection  with matters to which
the  Agreement  relates,  except a loss  resulting  by reason  of the  Manager's
willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross  negligence in the  performance of its
duties,  or its  reckless  disregard  of its  obligations  and duties  under the
Agreement.

      |X| The Distributor.  Under its General  Distributor's  Agreement with the
Trust,  Centennial  Asset Management  Corporation acts as the Trust's  principal
underwriter  and  Distributor in the continuous  public  offering of the Trust's
shares.  The  Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific  number of shares.
The Distributor  bears the expenses  normally  attributable to sales,  including
advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses,  other than those
furnished to existing shareholders.

Portfolio  Transactions.  Portfolio decisions are based upon recommendations and
judgment  of the  Manager  subject  to the  overall  authority  of the  Board of
Trustees.  Most  purchases made by the Trust are principal  transactions  at net
prices,  so the Trust  incurs  little or no  brokerage  costs.  The Trust  deals
directly  with the  selling or  purchasing  principal  or market  maker  without
incurring  charges for the services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager
determines  that a better  price  or  execution  may be  obtained  by using  the
services  of a broker.  Purchases  of  portfolio  securities  from  underwriters
include a commission or concession  paid by the issuer to the  underwriter,  and
purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices.

      The Trust seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at the most favorable
net price. If broker/dealers are used for portfolio  transactions,  transactions
may be directed to broker/dealers for their execution and research services. The
research  services  provided by a particular broker may be useful only to one or
more of the  advisory  accounts of the Manager  and its  affiliates.  Investment
research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both
to the  Trust  and  one or  more of such  other  accounts.  Investment  research
services  may be supplied  to the Manager by a third party at the  instance of a
broker through which trades are placed. It may include  information and analyses
on particular  companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio  strategy,  receipt of market  quotations  for portfolio  evaluations,
information systems,  computer hardware and similar products and services.  If a
research  service also assists the Manager in a  non-research  capacity (such as
bookkeeping  or other  administrative  functions),  then only the  percentage or
component   that  provides   assistance   to  the  Manager  in  the   investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

      The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement
the research activities of the Manager.  That research provides additional views
and  comparisons  for  consideration,   and  helps  the  Manager  obtain  market
information  for the  valuation of securities  held in the Trust's  portfolio or
being considered for purchase.

      Subject to  applicable  rules  covering the  Manager's  activities in this
area, sales of shares of the Trust and/or the other investment companies managed
by the Manager or  distributed  by the  Distributor  may also be considered as a
factor  in the  direction  of  transactions  to  dealers.  That  must be done in
conformity  with the price,  execution  and other  considerations  and practices
discussed  above.  Those  other  investment  companies  may  also  give  similar
consideration  relating  to  the  sale  of  the  Trust's  shares.  No  portfolio
transactions  will be  handled  by any  securities  dealer  affiliated  with the
Manager.

      The  Trust's  policy of  investing  in  short-term  debt  securities  with
maturities  of less than one year  results in high  portfolio  turnover  and may
increase the Trust's transaction costs. However, since brokerage commissions, if
any, are small,  high turnover does not have an appreciable  adverse effect upon
the income of the Trust.

Service Plan

The Trust has adopted a Service Plan for the shares.  The plan has been approved
by a vote of the Board of  Trustees,  including  a majority  of the  Independent
Trustees2,  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that
plan.

      Under the plan,  the  Manager  and the  Distributor  may make  payments to
affiliates and, in their sole  discretion,  from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Trust) to make payments to brokers,  dealers
or other financial  institutions for distribution  and  administrative  services
they perform.  The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it receives
from the Trust.  In their sole  discretion,  the Distributor and the Manager may
increase or decrease the amount of payments  they make from their own  resources
to plan recipients.

      Unless a plan is  terminated  as described  below,  the plan  continues in
effect  from  year to year but only if the  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  and its
Independent  Trustees  specifically  vote  annually to approve its  continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on continuing  the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote
of a majority  of the  Independent  Trustees  or by the vote of the holders of a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act) of the outstanding shares
of the Trust.

      The Board of  Trustees  and the  Independent  Trustees  must  approve  all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of
payments to be made under a plan must be approved by  shareholders  of the class
affected by the  amendment.  The approval must be by a "majority" (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) of the shares.

2. In  accordance  with  Rule  12b-1 of the  Investment  Company  Act,  the term
"Independent  Trustees" in this  Statement of Additional  Information  refers to
those  Trustees  who are not  "interested  persons"  of the Fund (or its  parent
corporation)  and who do not have any direct or indirect  financial  interest in
the operation of any agreement under the plan.

      While the plan is in effect,  the  Treasurer  of the Trust  shall  provide
separate written reports on the plan to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly
for its review.  The Reports  shall detail the amount of all payments made under
the plan and the purpose for which the  payments  were made.  Those  reports are
subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

      The plan states that while it is in effect,  the selection and  nomination
of those Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested  persons" of the Trust is
committed to the discretion of the Independent  Trustees.  This does not prevent
the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the
final  decision as to selection or  nomination  is approved by a majority of the
Independent Trustees.

      Under the plan, no payment will be made to any recipient in any quarter in
which the  aggregate  net asset value of all Trust shares held by the  recipient
for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount,  if any, that may
be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board of
Trustees has set no minimum  amount of assets to qualify for payments  under the
plan.

      |X| Service Plan Fees.  Under the service plan, the Distributor  currently
uses the fees it  receives  from the  Trust to pay  brokers,  dealers  and other
financial  institutions  (they are  referred to as  "recipients")  for  personal
services and account  maintenance  services they provide for their customers who
hold shares.  The services include,  among others,  answering customer inquiries
about the Trust,  assisting  in  establishing  and  maintaining  accounts in the
Trust,  making the  Trust's  investment  plans  available  and  providing  other
services  at the  request  of the Trust or the  Distributor.  The  service  plan
permits  reimbursements  to the  Distributor at a rate of up to 0.20% of average
annual net assets of the shares.  While the plan  permits the Board to authorize
payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the
Board has not yet done so. The  Distributor  makes  payments to plan  recipients
quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.20% of the average annual net assets
consisting of shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999  payments  under the plan  totaled
$3,773,272,  all of  which  was  paid by the  Distributor  to  recipients.  That
included $16,878 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's  parent company.  Any
unreimbursed  expenses the Distributor  incurs with respect to the shares in any
fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use
payments received under the plan to pay any of its interest  expenses,  carrying
charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

Performance of the Trust

Explanation  of  Performance  Terminology.  The Trust uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its performance.  These terms include "yield," "compounded  effective
yield,  "   "tax-equivalent   yield"  and  "average  annual  total  return."  An
explanation  of how yields and total returns are  calculated is set forth below.
The charts  below show the Trust's  performance  as of the  Trust's  most recent
fiscal year end. You can obtain current  performance  information by calling the
Trust's Transfer Agent at 1-800-525-9310.

      The Trust's  illustrations of its performance data in advertisements  must
comply  with  rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Those  rules
describe  the  types of  performance  data  that may be used and how it is to be
calculated.  If the Trust  shows total  returns in  addition to its yields,  the
returns must be for the 1-, 5- and 10-year  periods ending as of the most recent
calendar  quarter  prior  to  the  publication  of  the  advertisement  (or  its
submission for publication).

      Use of  standardized  performance  calculations  enables  an  investor  to
compare the Trust's  performance to the  performance of other funds for the same
periods.  However,  a number of factors  should be  considered  before using the
Trust's   performance   information  as  a  basis  for  comparisons  with  other
investments:

     |_| Yields and total  returns  measure the  performance  of a  hypothetical
account in the Trust over  various  periods and do not show the  performance  of
each shareholder's  account. Your account's performance will vary from the model
performance  data if your  dividends  are  received in cash,  or you buy or sell
shares during the period, or you bought your shares at a different time than the
shares used in the model.

|_| An  investment  in the  Trust  is not  insured  by  the  FDIC  or any  other
government agency.
|_| The Trust's yield is not fixed or guaranteed and will fluctuate.





                    ( ERV ) 1/n
                    (-----) -1 = Average Annual Total Return
                    (  P  )



|_| Yields and total  returns  for any given past  period  represent  historical
performance information and are not, and should not be considered,  a prediction
of future yields or returns.

        |_| Yields.  The Trust's  current  yield is  calculated  for a seven-day
period of time as follows.  First,  a base period return is  calculated  for the
seven-day  period by  determining  the net change in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing  account having one share at the beginning of the seven-day period.
The change  includes  dividends  declared on the  original  share and  dividends
declared  on any  shares  purchased  with  dividends  on that  share,  but  such
dividends  are adjusted to exclude any realized or  unrealized  capital gains or
losses  affecting  the  dividends  declared.  Next,  the base  period  return is
multiplied by 365/7 to obtain the current yield to the nearest  hundredth of one
percent.

      The compounded effective yield for a seven-day period is calculated by (1)
      adding 1 to the base period  return  (obtained  as described  above),  (2)
      raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and (3)  subtracting
      1 from the result.

      The  yield  as   calculated   above  may  vary  for  accounts   less  than
approximately  $100 in value  due to the  effect  of  rounding  off  each  daily
dividend  to the  nearest  full cent.  The  calculation  of yield  under  either
procedure  described  above does not take into  consideration  any  realized  or
unrealized gains or losses on the Trust's portfolio  securities which may affect
dividends.  Therefore,  the return on dividends declared during a period may not
be the same on an annualized basis as the yield for that period.

      The Trust's "tax  equivalent  yield" adjusts the Trust's current yield, as
calculated  above,  by a stated federal tax rate.  The tax  equivalent  yield is
computed by dividing the tax-exempt  portion of the Trust's current yield by one
minus a stated  income tax rate and adding the result to the portion (if any) of
the Trust's current yield that is not tax-exempt.  The tax equivalent  yield may
be  compounded  as  described  above  to  provide  a  compounded  effective  tax
equivalent yield.

      The Trust's tax equivalent yield may be used to compare the tax effects of
income  derived from the Trust with income from taxable  investments  at the tax
rates stated.  Exhibit D includes a tax equivalent yield table, based on various
effective  tax  brackets  for  individual  taxpayers.   Such  tax  brackets  are
determined by a taxpayer's  federal  taxable  income (the net amount  subject to
federal income tax after  deductions and  exemptions).  The tax equivalent yield
table assumes that the investor is taxed at the highest  bracket,  regardless of
whether a switch to non-taxable investments would cause a lower bracket to apply
and that state income tax payments are fully deductible for income tax purposes.
For taxpayers with income above certain  levels,  otherwise  allowable  itemized
deductions  are  limited.  The Trust's tax  equivalent  yield for the  seven-day
period ended June 30, 1999 was 4.40%. Its  tax-equivalent  compounded  effective
yield for the same period was 4.45% for an  investor in the highest  federal tax
bracket.

      [_]  Total  Return  Information.  There are  different  types of "total
returns" to measure the Trust's performance. Total return is the change in value
of a hypothetical investment in the Trust over a given period, assuming that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  are reinvested in additional  shares
and that the  investment  is redeemed at the end of the period.  The  cumulative
total return  measures the change in value over the entire  period (for example,
ten years).  An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would  produce the  cumulative  total return over the
entire  period.  However,  average  annual  total  returns  do not  show  actual
year-by-year performance. The Trust uses standardized calculations for its total
returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

        |_| Average  Annual Total Return.  The "average  annual total return" of
each class is an  average  annual  compounded  rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical  initial  investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held
for a number of years ("n") to achieve an Ending  Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the
formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:

                    ( ERV ) 1/n
                    (-----) -1 = Average Annual Total Return
                    (  P  )


        |_| Cumulative Total Return.  The "cumulative total return"  calculation
measures  the change in value of a  hypothetical  investment  of $1,000  over an
entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average
annual  total  return,  but it does not  average the rate of return on an annual
basis.
Cumulative total return is determined as follows:


            ERV - P
            ------- = Total Return
               P


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Yield         Compounded       Average Annual Total Returns (at 6/30/99)
 (7 days ended   Effective Yield
    6/30/99)      (7 days ended
                    6/30/99)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                     1-Year          5 Years        10 Years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     2.66%            2.69%           2.61%           3.02%           3.32%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      |X| Other  Performance  Comparisons.  Yield  information  may be useful to
investors in reviewing the Trust's  performance.  The Trust may make comparisons
between its yield and that of other investments,  by citing various indices such
as The Bank Rate Monitor  National Index  (provided by Bank Rate MonitorJ) which
measures the average rate paid on bank money market  accounts,  NOW accounts and
certificates  of deposits  by the 100  largest  banks and thrifts in the top ten
metro areas.  When  comparing the Trust's yield with that of other  investments,
investors should  understand that certain other investment  alternatives such as
certificates of deposit, U.S. government securities, money market instruments or
bank accounts may provide fixed yields and may be insured or guaranteed.

      From time to time, the Trust may include in its  advertisements  and sales
literature performance information about the Trust cited in other newspapers and
periodicals,  such  as  The  New  York  Times,  which  may  include  performance
quotations from other sources.

      From time to time, the Trust's Manager may publish  rankings or ratings of
the Manager (or the Transfer Agent) or the investor  services  provided by them.
Those ratings or rankings of investor/shareholder  services by third parties may
compare the services provided to those of other mutual fund families selected by
the rating or ranking services.  They may be based on the opinions of the rating
or ranking  service  itself,  based on its  research  or  judgment,  or based on
surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

How to Buy Shares

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value per share of the
Trust is determined twice each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange")
is open,  at 12:00 Noon and at 4:00 P.M, on each day that the  Exchange is open,
by dividing  the value of the  Trust's net assets by the total  number of shares
outstanding.  All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information
mean New York time. The  Exchange's  most recent annual  announcement  (which is
subject to change)  states that it will close on New Year's Day,  Martin  Luther
King Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence  Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

      The Trust's  Board of Trustees  has adopted the  amortized  cost method to
value the Trust's  portfolio  securities.  Under the  amortized  cost method,  a
security is valued  initially at its cost and its  valuation  assumes a constant
amortization  of any premium or accretion  of any  discount,  regardless  of the
impact of fluctuating  interest rates on the market value of the security.  This
method does not take into  consideration any unrealized  capital gains or losses
on securities.  While this method provides certainty in valuing  securities,  in
certain  periods the value of a security  determined  by  amortized  cost may be
higher or lower than the price the Trust would receive if it sold the security.

      The  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  has  established  procedures  reasonably
designed to  stabilize  the  Trust's  net asset value at $1.00 per share.  Those
procedures  include a review of the valuations of the Trust's portfolio holdings
by the Board of  Trustees,  at  intervals  it deems  appropriate,  to  determine
whether  the  Trust's  net asset  value  calculated  by using  available  market
quotations deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost.

      The Board of Trustees will examine the extent of any deviation between the
Trust's net asset value based upon  available  market  quotations  and amortized
cost.  If the Trust's  net asset  value were to deviate  from $1.00 by more than
0.5%, Rule 2a-7 requires the Board of Trustees to consider what action,  if any,
should be  taken.  If they find  that the  extent of the  deviation  may cause a
material dilution or other unfair effects on shareholders, the Board of Trustees
will take  whatever  steps it considers  appropriate  to eliminate or reduce the
dilution,  including,  among others,  withholding or reducing dividends,  paying
dividends from capital or capital gains, selling portfolio  instruments prior to
maturity to realize  capital gains or losses or to shorten the average  maturity
of the portfolio,  or calculating  net asset value per share by using  available
market quotations.

      During periods of declining  interest rates,  the daily yield on shares of
the Trust may tend to be lower (and net investment  income and dividends higher)
than those of a fund holding the  identical  investments  as the Trust but which
used a method of  portfolio  valuation  based on market  prices or  estimates of
market prices.  During periods of rising interest rates,  the daily yield of the
Trust  would tend to be higher  and its  aggregate  value  lower than that of an
identical portfolio using market price valuation.

How to Sell Shares

The information  below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares
set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to the Bank for clearance, the Bank will
ask the Trust to redeem a sufficient number of full and fractional shares in the
shareholder's  account  to cover  the  amount of the  check.  This  enables  the
shareholder to continue  receiving  dividends on those shares until the check is
presented to the Trust.  Checks may not be presented  for payment at the offices
of the Bank or the Trust's Custodian. This limitation does not affect the use of
checks for the  payment  of bills or to obtain  cash at other  banks.  The Trust
reserves  the right to  amend,  suspend  or  discontinue  offering  checkwriting
privileges at any time without prior notice.

     In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing the
Account  Application or by completing a Checkwriting  card,  each individual who
signs:

(1) for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered owner(s) of
the shares of the Trust in that account;

(2) for  accounts for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts and other  entities,
represents that they are an officer, general partner, trustee or other fiduciary
or agent,  as  applicable,  duly  authorized to act on behalf of the  registered
owner(s);

(3)  authorizes  the Trust,  its Transfer  Agent and any bank through  which the
Trust's drafts (checks) are payable to pay all checks drawn on the Trust account
of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient  amount of shares from that account
to cover payment of each check;

(4) specifically acknowledges that if they choose to permit checks to be honored
if there is a single  signature  on checks  drawn  against  joint  accounts,  or
accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities, the signature
of any one signatory on a check will be sufficient to authorize  payment of that
check and redemption from the account, even if that account is registered in the
names of more than one person or more than one authorized  signature  appears on
the Checkwriting  card or the Application,  as applicable;

(5) understands that the Checkwriting  privilege may be terminated or amended at
any time by the Trust and/or the Trust's bank; and

(6)  acknowledges and agrees that neither the Trust nor its bank shall incur any
liability for that amendment or termination  of  checkwriting  privileges or for
redeeming shares to pay checks reasonably believed by them to be genuine, or for
returning or not paying checks that have not been accepted for any reason.

Sending  Redemption  Proceeds by Federal  Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemptions  proceeds may be delayed if the Trust's  custodian  bank is not open
for  business on a day when the Trust would  normally  authorize  the wire to be
made,  which is usually the Trust's next  regular  business  day  following  the
redemption.  In those circumstances,  the wire will not be transmitted until the
next bank business day on which the Trust is open for business. No distributions
will be paid on the  proceeds of redeemed  shares  awaiting  transfer by Federal
Funds wire

Distributions   From  Retirement   Plans.   Requests  for   distributions   from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  IRAs,  403(b)(7)  custodial  plans,  401(k) plans or
pension   or   profit-sharing   plans   should   be   addressed   to   "Trustee,
OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed
in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement
of Additional Information. The request must

(1) state the reason for the distribution;
(2)  state  the  owner's  awareness  of tax  penalties  if the  distribution  is
premature; and
(3) conform to the  requirements  of the plan and the Trust's  other  redemption
requirements.

      Participants      (other      than      self-employed      persons)     in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  pension or  profit-sharing  plans with shares of the
Trust held in the name of the plan or its  fiduciary  may not  directly  request
redemption of their accounts.  The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the
request.

      Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special
requirements  under the Internal Revenue Code and certain  documents  (available
from the Transfer  Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer  Agent
before the  distribution  may be made.  Distributions  from retirement plans are
subject to  withholding  requirements  under the Internal  Revenue Code, and IRS
Form W-4P  (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer
Agent with the distribution request, or the distribution may be delayed.  Unless
the   shareholder   has  provided  the  Transfer  Agent  with  a  certified  tax
identification  number,  the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld
from any distribution  even if the shareholder  elects not to have tax withheld.
The Trust, the Manager,  the Distributor the  Sub-Distributor,  and the Transfer
Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a distribution satisfies the
conditions  of  applicable  tax laws and  will  not be  responsible  for any tax
penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

How to Exchange Shares

Centennial Money Market Trust


      Shares of the Trust purchased  without a sales charge may be exchanged for
shares of an eligible fund offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales
charge.   Shares  of  the  Trust  acquired  by   reinvestment  of  dividends  or
distributions  from the Trust or any of the other  eligible  funds  (other  than
Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves)  or  from  any  unit  investment  trust  for  which
reinvestment  arrangements  have been made with the Distributor may be exchanged
at net asset value for shares of any of the eligible funds.

      |_| Limits on Multiple  Exchange  Orders.  The Trust reserves the right to
reject  telephone or written  exchange  requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account.  The Trust may accept requests for exchanges of
up to 50  accounts  per day from  representatives  of  authorized  dealers  that
qualify for this privilege.

      |_| Telephone  Exchange Requests.  When exchanging shares by telephone,  a
direct  shareholder  must  have an  existing  account  in the fund to which  the
exchange is to be made. Otherwise, the investor must obtain a prospectus of that
fund before the exchange  request may be submitted.  If all telephone  lines are
busy (which  might occur,  for example,  during  periods of  substantial  market
fluctuations),  shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone
and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      |_| Processing  Exchange Requests.  Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on
the regular  business day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an exchange  request in
proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired
are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be delayed by
either  fund up to  five  business  days  if it  determines  that  it  would  be
disadvantaged  by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.  The Trust
reserves the right, in its discretion,  to refuse any exchange  request that may
disadvantage it (for example,  if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from
a dealer might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a
price that might be disadvantageous to the Trust).

      In connection with any exchange  request,  the number of shares  exchanged
may be less than the number  requested if the  exchange or the number  requested
would include  shares  subject to a restriction  cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional  Information  or would include shares covered by a share
certificate  that is not  tendered  with the request.  In those cases,  only the
shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

      The  different  eligible  funds  available  for  exchange  have  different
investment objectives,  policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the
fund selected is  appropriate  for his or her  investment and should be aware of
the tax  consequences  of an  exchange.  For  Federal  income tax  purposes,  an
exchange  transaction  is  treated as a  redemption  of shares of one fund and a
purchase of shares of another. The Trust, the Distributor,  the Sub-Distributor,
and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment,  tax or legal advice to
a shareholder  in connection  with an exchange  request or any other  investment
transaction.

      The Trust may amend,  suspend or terminate  the exchange  privilege at any
time. Although,  the Trust may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes  whenever it is required to do so by applicable
law. It may be required to provide 60 days notice prior to  materially  amending
or  terminating  the exchange  privilege.  That 60-day notice is not required in
extraordinary circumstances.

Dividends and Taxes

Tax Status of the Trust's Dividends and Distributions. The federal tax treatment
of the Trust's  dividends  and capital gains  distributions  is explained in the
Prospectus  under the  caption  "Distributions  and Taxes."  Under the  Internal
Revenue Code,  by December 31 each year,  the Trust must  distribute  98% of its
taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year
and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior
year through  October 31 of the current year. It if does not, the Trust must pay
an excise tax on the amounts not distributed.  It is presently  anticipated that
the Trust will meet those requirements.  However,  the Board of Trustees and the
Manager  might  determine  in a  particular  year  that it  would be in the best
interest of shareholders for the Trust not to make distributions at the required
levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce
the  amount  of  income  or  capital  gains   available  for   distribution   to
shareholders.   The   Trust's   dividends   will   not  be   eligible   for  the
dividends-received deduction for corporations.

      If the Trust  qualifies  as a  "regulated  investment  company"  under the
Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for federal income taxes on amounts
paid by it as  distributions.  That  qualification  enables  the  Trust to "pass
through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to
pay tax on them. The Trust  qualified as a regulated  investment  company in its
last fiscal year and intends to qualify in future years,  but reserves the right
not to qualify.  The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests to
determine whether the Trust qualifies. The Trust might not meet those tests in a
particular  year.  If it does not  qualify,  the Trust will be  treated  for tax
purposes  as an  ordinary  corporation  and will  receive no tax  deduction  for
payments of distributions made to shareholders.

      Dividends,  distributions  and the  proceeds  of the  redemption  of Trust
shares  represented  by checks  returned  to the  Transfer  Agent by the  Postal
Service as undeliverable  will be invested in shares of the Trust as promptly as
possible  after the return of such  checks to the  Transfer  Agent,  in order to
enable the investor to earn a return on otherwise idle funds.

Dividend  Reinvestment  in Another Trust.  Direct  shareholders of the Trust may
elect to reinvest all dividends  and/or capital gains  distributions  in Class A
shares of any eligible fund listed above. To elect this option,  the shareholder
must notify the Transfer  Agent in writing and must have an existing  account in
the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise, the shareholder first must obtain
a prospectus for that fund and an application  from the Distributor to establish
an account.  The investment will be made at the close of business on the payable
date of the dividend or distribution.

Additional Information About the Trust

The Distributor.  The Trust's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other
financial institutions that have a sales agreement with the Sub-Distributor. The
Distributor and the  Sub-Distributor  also distribute  shares of the other funds
managed by the Manager or an affiliate.

The Transfer Agent.  Shareholder  Services,  Inc. the Trust's Transfer Agent, is
responsible  for maintaining  the Trust's  shareholder  registry and shareholder
accounting  records,  and for paying dividends and distributions to shareholders
of  the  Trust.  It  also  handles  shareholder   servicing  and  administrative
functions. It is paid on a "at-cost" basis.

The  Custodian.  Citibank,  N.A. is the  Custodian  of the Trust's  assets.  The
Custodian's  responsibilities  include  safeguarding and controlling the Trust's
portfolio  securities  and handling the delivery of such  securities to and from
the Trust.  It will be the practice of the Trust to deal with the Custodian in a
manner uninfluenced by any banking  relationship the Custodian may have with the
Manager and its  affiliates.  The Trust's cash  balances  with the  Custodian in
excess of  $100,000  are not  protected  by  federal  deposit  insurance.  Those
uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Auditors.  Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent auditors of the
Trust.  They audit the Trust's  financial  statements  and perform other related
audit  services.  They  also act as  auditors  for the  Manager  and OFI and for
certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Centennial Tax Exempt Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the  statement of  investments,  of  Centennial  Tax Exempt Trust as of June 30,
1999,  the  related  statement  of  operations  for the  year  then  ended,  the
statements  of changes in net assets for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the financial highlights for the period July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1999. These
financial  statements  and financial  highlights are the  responsibility  of the
Trust'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  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  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 June
30, 1999, by correspondence  with the custodian and brokers;  where replies were
not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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,  such  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of  Centennial  Tax
Exempt Trust as of June 30, 1999, the results of its operations,  the changes in
its net assets, and the financial  highlights for the respective stated periods,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Centennial Tax Exempt Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust's investment objective is to seek maximum
short-term interest income exempt from federal income taxes that is consistent
with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity. The Trust's investment
advisor is Centennial Asset Management Corporation (the Manager), a subsidiary
of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI). The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust.

Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized
cost, which approximates market value.

Federal Taxes. The Trust intends to continue to comply with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income or excise tax provision is required. As of June 30, 1999, the Trust had
available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss carryover of
approximately $467,000, which expires between 2006 and 2007.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders, which are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of
custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Trust.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized
gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis,
which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

3. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment
advisory agreement with the Trust which provides for a fee of 0.50% of the first
$250 million of net assets; 0.475% of the next $250 million of net assets; 0.45%
of the next $250 million of net assets; 0.425% of the next $250 million of net
assets; 0.40% of the next $250 million of net assets; 0.375% of the next $250
million of net assets; 0.35% of the next $500 million of net assets and 0.325%
of net assets in excess of $2 billion. Furthermore, under the Trust's Agreement,
when the value of the Trust's net assets is less than $1.5 billion, the annual
fee payable to the Manager shall be reduced by $100,000 based on average net
assets computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rates, but in no event
shall the annual fee be less than $0. The Trust's management fee for the year
ended June 30, 1999 was 0.42% of average annual net assets.

Shareholder Services, Inc. (SSI), a subsidiary of OFI, is the transfer and
shareholder servicing agent for the Trust and for other registered investment
companies. SSI's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably to
these companies.

Under an approved service plan, the Trust may expend up to 0.20% of its net
assets annually to reimburse the Manager, as distributor, for costs incurred in
connection with the personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold
shares of the Trust, including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other
institutions. During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Trust paid $16,878 to a
broker/dealer affiliated with the Manager as reimbursement for
distribution-related expenses.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  rating  designations  for commercial paper (defined by Moody's as
promissory  obligations not having original  maturity in excess of nine months),
are  judged by  Moody's  to be  investment  grade,  and  indicate  the  relative
repayment capacity of rated issuers:

Prime-1: Superior capacity for repayment. Capacity will normally be evidenced by
the following characteristics: (a) leveling market positions in well-established
industries;  (b)  high  rates of  return  on funds  employed;  (c)  conservative
capitalization  structures  with  moderate  reliance  on debt  and  ample  asset
protection; (d) broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and
high internal cash  generation;  and (e) well  established  access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2: Strong capacity for repayment.  This will normally be evidenced by many
of the characteristics  cited above but to a lesser degree.  Earnings trends and
coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation.  Capitalization
characteristics,  while  still  appropriate,  may be more  affected  by external
conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Moody's  ratings for state and municipal  short-term  obligations are designated
"Moody's Investment Grade" ("MIG").  Short-term notes which have demand features
may also be designated as "VMIG". These rating categories are as follows:

MIG1/VMIG1: Best quality. There is present strong protection by established cash
flows,  superior  liquidity  support or demonstrated  broad-based  access to the
market for refinancing.

MIG2/VMIG2:  High quality. Margins of protection are ample although not so large
as in the preceding group.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  ratings by Standard & Poor's for commercial paper (defined by S&P
as debt  having  an  original  maturity  of no more than 365  days)  assess  the
likelihood of payment:

A-1:  Strong  capacity for timely  payment.  Those issues  determined to possess
extremely  strong  safety  characteristics  are  denoted  with a plus  sign  (+)
designation.

A-2: Satisfactory  capacity for timely payment.  However, the relative degree of
safety is not as high as for issues designated "A-1".

S&P's ratings for Municipal Notes due in three years or less are:

SP-1: Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess  overwhelming safety  characteristics will be given a plus
(+) designation.

SP-2:             Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

S&P assigns "dual  ratings" to all  municipal  debt issues that have a demand or
double  feature as part of their  provisions.  The first  rating  addresses  the
likelihood  of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second rating
addresses  only the demand  feature.  With  short-term  demand debt,  S&P's note
rating  symbols  are used  with  the  commercial  paper  symbols  (for  example,
"SP-1+/A-1+").


Fitch IBCA, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fitch  assigns the following  short-term  ratings to debt  obligations  that are
payable on demand or have  original  maturities  of generally up to three years,
including  commercial  paper,  certificates of deposit,  medium-term  notes, and
municipal and investment notes:

F-1+: Exceptionally strong credit quality; the strongest degree of assurance for
timely payment.

F-1: Very strong credit  quality;  assurance of timely  payment is only slightly
less in degree than issues rated "F-1+". F-2: Good credit quality;  satisfactory
degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great
as for issues assigned "F-1+" or "F-1" ratings.


Duff & Phelps, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  following  ratings are for  commercial  paper  (defined by Duff & Phelps as
obligations  with  maturities,  when  issued,  of under one year),  asset-backed
commercial paper, and certificates of deposit (the ratings cover all obligations
of the institution with maturities,  when issued,  of under one year,  including
bankers' acceptance and letters of credit):

Duff 1+: Highest certainty of timely payment.  Short-term  liquidity,  including
internal  operating  factors and/or access to alternative  sources of funds,  is
outstanding,  and  safety  is just  below  risk-free  U.S.  Treasury  short-term
obligations.

Duff 1: Very high certainty of timely payment.  Liquidity  factors are excellent
and supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are minor.

Duff 1-: High  certainty  of timely  payment.  Liquidity  factors are strong and
supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are very small.

Duff 2:  Good  certainty  of  timely  payment.  Liquidity  factors  and  company
fundamentals  are  sound.  Although  ongoing  funding  needs may  enlarge  total
financing  requirements,  access to capital  markets is good.  Risk  factors are
small.


Thomson BankWatch, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  short-term  ratings apply to commercial  paper,  certificates  of
deposit,  unsecured notes, and other securities having a maturity of one year or
less.

TBW-1:  The highest  category;  indicates the degree of safety  regarding timely
repayment of principal and interest is very strong.

TBW-2: The second highest rating category;  while the degree of safety regarding
timely  repayment of principal  and interest is strong,  the relative  degree of
safety is not as high as for issues rated "TBW-1".

Long Term Debt Ratings

These  ratings  are  relevant  for  securities  purchased  by the  Trust  with a
remaining  maturity  of 397 days or less,  or for rating  issuers of  short-term
obligations.

Moody's  Investors Service, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Aaa: Judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment
risk  and are  generally  referred  to as "gilt  edge."  Interest  payments  are
protected by a large or by an  exceptionally  stable  margin,  and  principal is
secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes
as can be  visualized  are most  unlikely  to impair  the  fundamentally  strong
positions of such issues.

Aa: Judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group
they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower
than the best  bonds  because  margins of  protection  may not be as large as in
"Aaa"  securities  or  fluctuations  of  protective  elements  may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements  present which make the long-term risks
appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

Moody's  applies  numerical  modifiers  "1",  "2"  and  "3" in its  "Aa"  rating
classification. The modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks in the higher
end of its generic  rating  category;  the  modifier  "2"  indicates a mid-range
ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of
its generic rating category.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

AAA:  The highest  rating  assigned by S&P.  Capacity to pay  interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.

AA: A strong  capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from "AAA"
rated issues only in small degree.

Fitch IBCA, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAA:  Considered to be investment  grade and of the highest credit quality.  The
obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal,
which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA:  Considered  to be  investment  grade and of very high credit  quality.  The
obligor's  ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong,  although
not quite as strong as bonds rated "AAA".  Plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used
in the "AA"  category to indicate the relative  position of a credit within that
category.

Because  bonds  rated in the "AAA"  and "AA"  categories  are not  significantly
vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,  short-term debt of these issuers
is generally rated "F-1+".

Duff & Phelps, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAA: The highest credit  quality.  The risk factors are  negligible,  being only
slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.

AA: High credit quality.  Protection factors are strong.  Risk is modest but may
vary  slightly  from time to time because of economic  conditions.  Plus (+) and
minus (-) signs are used in the "AA" category to indicate the relative  position
of a credit within that category.

Thomson BankWatch, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TBW issues  the  following  ratings  for  companies.  These  ratings  assess the
likelihood of receiving  payment of principal and interest on a timely basis and
incorporate  TBW's  opinion as to the  vulnerability  of the  company to adverse
developments,  which may impact the market's perception of the company,  thereby
affecting the marketability of its securities.

A:  Possesses  an  exceptionally  strong  balance  sheet  and  earnings  record,
translating into an excellent  reputation and unquestioned access to its natural
money  markets.  If  weakness  or  vulnerability  exists  in any  aspect  of the
company's   business,   it  is  entirely  mitigated  by  the  strengths  of  the
organization.

A/B: The company is financially  very solid with a favorable track record and no
readily apparent weakness.  Its overall risk profile, while low, is not quite as
favorable as for companies in the highest rating

                           TAX EQUIVALENT YEILD TABLE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The equivalent  yield table below compares  tax-free  income with taxable income
under  federal  income tax rates  effective in 1999.  The tables  assume that an
investor's highest tax bracket applies to the change in taxable income resulting
from a switch between taxable and non-taxable investments,  that the investor is
not subject to the  Alternative  Minimum Tax, and that state income tax payments
are fully  deductible for federal  income tax purposes.  The income tax brackets
are subject to indexing in future years to reflect changes in the Consumer Price
Index.

Example:  Assuming a 4.0% tax-free yield, the equivalent  taxable yield would be
6.25% for a person in the 36% tax bracket.

Additional Information About the Trust's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment  objective and the principal investment policies of the Trust are
described in the Prospectus.  This Statement of Additional  Information contains
supplemental  information  about those policies and the types of securities that
the Trust's investment manager,  Centennial Asset Management  Corporation,  will
select  for the  Trust.  Additional  explanations  are also  provided  about the
strategies the Trust may use to try to achieve its objective.

The Trust's  Investment  Policies.  The composition of the Trust's portfolio and
the  techniques  and  strategies  that the  Trust's  Manager  uses in  selecting
portfolio  securities  will vary over time. The Trust is not required to use all
of the  investment  techniques and  strategies  described  below at all times in
seeking  its goal.  It may use some of the  special  investment  techniques  and
strategies at some times or not at all.

      The Trust's objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent
with  preservation of capital and the  maintenance of liquidity.  The Trust will
not make investments with the objective of seeking capital growth.  However, the
value of the securities  held by the Trust may be affected by changes in general
interest rates.  Because the current value of debt securities  varies  inversely
with changes in prevailing  interest  rates,  if interest rates increase after a
security  is  purchased,   that  security  would  normally   decline  in  value.
Conversely,  if interest rates decrease after a security is purchased, its value
would rise.  However,  those  fluctuations in value will not generally result in
realized gains or losses to the Trust since the Trust does not usually intend to
dispose of securities prior to their maturity.  A debt security held to maturity
is redeemable by its issuer at full principal value plus accrued interest.

      The Trust may sell securities prior to their maturity,  to attempt to take
advantage  of  short-term  market  variations,  or because  of a revised  credit
evaluation  of the issuer or other  considerations.  The Trust may also do so to
generate cash to satisfy  redemptions of Trust shares.  In such cases, the Trust
may realize a capital gain or loss on the security.

      |X|  Ratings  of   Securities   --   Portfolio   Quality,   Maturity   and
Diversification.  Under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment  Company Act, the Trust uses
the  amortized  cost method to value its  portfolio  securities to determine the
Trust's net asset  value per share.  Rule 2a-7  places  restrictions  on a money
market fund's  investments.  Under that Rule,  the Trust may purchase only those
securities that the Manager,  under  Board-approved  procedures,  has determined
have minimal credit risks and are "Eligible Securities." The rating restrictions
described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information do not
apply to banks in which the Trust's cash is kept.

      An  "Eligible  Security"  is one  that  has  been  rated in one of the two
highest   short-term  rating   categories  by  any  two   "nationally-recognized
statistical  rating  organizations."  That term is defined in Rule 2a-7 and they
are  referred  to as "Rating  Organizations"  in this  Statement  of  Additional
Information.  If only one Rating  Organization has rated that security,  it must
have been  rated in one of the two  highest  rating  categories  by that  Rating
Organization.  An  unrated  security  that is  judged  by the  Manager  to be of
comparable quality to Eligible Securities rated by Rating Organizations may also
be an "Eligible Security."

      Rule  2a-7  permits  the Trust to  purchase  any  number  of  "First  Tier
Securities."  These are Eligible  Securities that have been rated in the highest
rating  category  for  short-term  debt  obligations  by  at  least  two  Rating
Organizations.  If only one Rating Organization has rated a particular security,
it  must  have  been  rated  in the  highest  rating  category  by  that  Rating
Organization. Comparable unrated securities may also be First Tier Securities.

      Under Rule 2a-7, the Trust may invest only up to 5% of its total assets in
"Second Tier Securities." Those are Eligible Securities that are not "First Tier
Securities." In addition, the Trust may not invest more than:
      |_| 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than
      the U.S. government,  its agencies or  instrumentalities) or
     |_| 1% of its total assets or $1 million  (whichever  is greater) in Second
     Tier Securities of any one issuer.

      Under  Rule  2a-7,  the Trust  must  maintain  a  dollar-weighted  average
portfolio  maturity  of not more than 90 days,  and the  maturity  of any single
portfolio  investment  may not exceed  397 days.  Some of the  Trust's  existing
investment  restrictions  are more restrictive than the provisions of Rule 2a-7.
For example,  as a matter of fundamental policy, the Trust may not invest in any
debt  instrument  having a  maturity  in excess of one year from the date of the
investment.  The Board  regularly  reviews  reports from the Manager to show the
Manager's compliance with the Trust's procedures and with the Rule.

      If a  security's  rating is  downgraded,  the Manager  and/or the Board of
Trustees may have to reassess  the  security's  credit  risk.  If a security has
ceased to be a First Tier Security,  the Manager will promptly  reassess whether
the security  continues to present  minimal credit risk. If the Manager  becomes
aware that any Rating  Organization  has  downgraded its rating of a Second Tier
Security or rated an unrated  security below its second highest rating category,
the Trust's  Board of Trustees  shall  promptly  reassess  whether the  security
presents  minimal  credit  risk and whether it is in the best  interests  of the
Trust to dispose of it. If the Trust  disposes of the security  within five days
of the Manager learning of the downgrade,  the Manager will provide the Board of
Trustees with subsequent notice of such downgrade.  If a security is in default,
or ceases to be an  Eligible  Security,  or is  determined  no longer to present
minimal credit risks,  the Board of Trustees must determine  whether it would be
in the best interests of the Trust to dispose of the security.

      The Rating  Organizations  currently  designated as  nationally-recognized
statistical rating  organizations by the Securities and Exchange  Commission are
Standard & Poor's  Corporation,  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc., Fitch IBCA,
Inc.,  Duff and Phelps,  Inc., and Thomson  BankWatch,  Inc.  Appendix A to this
Statement  of  Additional   Information  contains  descriptions  of  the  rating
categories of those Rating  Organizations.  Ratings at the time of purchase will
determine  whether  securities may be acquired under the restrictions  described
above.

     |X| U.S. Government Securities.  U.S. government securities are obligations
issued   or   guaranteed   by  the   U.S.   government   or  its   agencies   or
instrumentalities.  They include Treasury Bills (which mature within one year of
the date they are issued) and  Treasury  Notes and Bonds  (which are issued with
longer  maturities).  All Treasury  securities  are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States.

      U.S.  government  agencies and  instrumentalities  that issue or guarantee
securities include, but are not limited to, the Federal Housing  Administration,
Farmers Home  Administration,  Export-Import  Bank of the United  States,  Small
Business  Administration,  Government  National  Mortgage  Association,  General
Services Administration, Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,  Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land
Banks, Maritime Administration,  the Tennessee Valley Authority and the District
of Columbia Armory Board. The Trust will not invest in securities  issued by the
Inter-American  Development  Bank, the  Asian-American  Development Bank and the
International  Bank for  Reconstruction  and Development or in pooled  mortgages
offered by the Federal Housing Administration or Veterans Administration.

      Securities   issued  or  guaranteed  by  U.S.   government   agencies  and
instrumentalities  are not  always  backed by the full  faith and  credit of the
United States.  Some, such as securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage
Association   ("Fannie  Mae"),  are  backed  by  the  right  of  the  agency  or
instrumentality to borrow from the Treasury.  Others,  such as securities issued
by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  ("Freddie  Mac"),  are supported
only  by the  credit  of the  instrumentality  and not by the  Treasury.  If the
securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the
purchaser  must look  principally  to the  agency  issuing  the  obligation  for
repayment and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the
issuing agency or instrumentality  does not meet its commitment.  The Trust will
invest in U.S. government securities of such agencies and instrumentalities only
when the  Manager  is  satisfied  that the  credit  risk  with  respect  to such
instrumentality is minimal and that the security is an Eligible Security.

      |X| Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Trust acquires
a  security  from,  and  simultaneously  resells it to, an  approved  vendor for
delivery on an  agreed-upon  future date.  The resale price exceeds the purchase
price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon  interest rate effective for the
period during which the repurchase  agreement is in effect. An "approved vendor"
may be a U.S.  commercial bank or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank having total
domestic assets of at least $1 billion, or a broker-dealer with a net capital of
$50 million which has been designated a primary dealer in government securities.

      The  majority  of these  transactions  run from day to day,  and  delivery
pursuant  to the  resale  typically  will  occur  within one to five days of the
purchase.  The Trust will not enter into a repurchase  agreement that will cause
more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase  agreements maturing
in more than seven days.

      Repurchase  agreements are considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act,   collateralized  by  the  underlying  security.   The  Trust's  repurchase
agreements  require  that at all times  while  the  repurchase  agreement  is in
effect,  the  collateral's  value must equal or exceed the  repurchase  price to
fully  collateralize the repayment  obligation.  Additionally,  the Manager will
monitor the vendor's  creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially
sound and will  continuously  monitor the collateral's  value.  However,  if the
vendor fails to pay the resale price on the delivery  date,  the Trust may incur
costs in disposing of the collateral  and may experience  losses if there is any
delay in its ability to do so.

Other Investment Strategies

      O  Floating  Rate/Variable  Rate  Obligations.  The  Trust  may  invest in
instruments  with floating or variable  interest  rates.  The interest rate on a
floating rate obligation is based on a stated  prevailing market rate, such as a
bank's prime rate,  the 90-day U.S.  Treasury  Bill rate,  the rate of return on
commercial paper or bank  certificates of deposit,  or some other standard.  The
rate on the  investment is adjusted  automatically  each time the market rate is
adjusted.  The interest  rate on a variable  rate  obligation is also based on a
stated  prevailing  market  rate but is  adjusted  automatically  at a specified
interval  of not  less  than one  year.  Some  variable  rate or  floating  rate
obligations  in which the Trust may invest have a demand  feature  entitling the
holder to demand payment of an amount  approximately equal to the amortized cost
of the  instrument  or the  principal  amount  of the  instrument  plus  accrued
interest at any time, or at specified  intervals  not exceeding one year.  These
notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.

      Variable  rate demand notes may include  master  demand  notes,  which are
obligations that permit the Trust to invest  fluctuating  amounts in a note. The
amount may change daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between
the Trust, as the note purchaser, and the issuer of the note. The interest rates
on  these  notes  fluctuate  from  time to  time.  The  issuer  of this  type of
obligation normally has a corresponding  right in its discretion,  after a given
period,  to prepay  the  outstanding  principal  amount of the  obligation  plus
accrued interest. The issuer must give a specified number of days' notice to the
holders of those  obligations.  Generally,  the changes in the interest  rate on
those securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As interest rates
decrease or increase,  the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is
less than that for fixed-rate obligations having the same maturity.

      Because these types of obligations are direct lending arrangements between
the note purchaser and issuer of the note, these instruments  generally will not
be traded.  Generally,  there is no established secondary market for these types
of  obligations,  although  they are  redeemable  from the issuer at face value.
Accordingly,  where  these  obligations  are not secured by letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements, the Trust's right to redeem them is dependent
on the ability of the note issuer to pay principal and interest on demand. These
types of obligations usually are not rated by credit rating agencies.  The Trust
may invest in obligations  that are not rated only if the Manager  determines at
the time of investment that they are Eligible Securities. The Manager, on behalf
of the Trust, will monitor the  creditworthiness  of the issuers of the floating
and variable  rate  obligations  in the Trust's  portfolio on an ongoing  basis.
There is no limit on the amount of the  Trust's  assets  that may be invested in
floating rate and variable rate  obligations  that meet the requirements of Rule
2a-7.

O Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  To attempt to increase its income,  the Trust
may lend its  portfolio  securities  to  brokers,  dealers  and other  financial
institutions.  These  loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the
Trust's total assets and are subject to other  conditions  described  below. The
Trust will not enter into any securities lending agreements having a maturity of
greater  than one year.  The Trust  presently  does not intend that the value of
securities loaned will exceed 5% of the value of the Trust's total assets in the
coming  year.  There are some  risks in  lending  securities.  The  Trust  could
experience a delay in receiving  additional  collateral  to secure a loan,  or a
delay in recovering the loaned securities.

      The Trust may receive  collateral for a loan.  Any securities  received as
collateral  for a loan  must  mature in twelve  months  or less.  Under  current
applicable  regulatory  requirements  (which  are  subject to  change),  on each
business day the loan  collateral  must be at least equal to the market value of
the loaned  securities.  The  collateral  must consist of cash,  bank letters of
credit, U.S. government  securities or other cash equivalents in which the Trust
is permitted to invest.  To be acceptable as collateral,  letters of credit must
obligate a bank to pay  amounts  demanded  by the Trust if the demand  meets the
terms of the letter. Such terms and the issuing bank must be satisfactory to the
Trust.

      When it lends  securities,  the Trust receives from the borrower an amount
equal to the interest  paid or the dividends  declared on the loaned  securities
during the term of the loan.  It may also receive  negotiated  loan fees and the
interest  on  the   collateral   securities,   less  any  finders',   custodian,
administrative  or other fees the Trust pays in  connection  with the loan.  The
Trust may share the interest it receives on the collateral  securities  with the
borrower as long as it realizes at least a minimum  amount of interest  required
by the lending guidelines established by its Board of Trustees.

      The Trust will not lend its portfolio securities to any officer,  Trustee,
employee  or  affiliate  of the Trust or its  Manager.  The terms of the Trust's
loans must meet  certain  tests under the  Internal  Revenue Code and permit the
Trust to reacquire loaned  securities on five business days notice or in time to
vote on any important matter.

Investment Restrictions

      |X|  What Are  "Fundamental  Policies?"  Fundamental  policies  are  those
policies  that the  Trust has  adopted  to govern  its  investments  that can be
changed  only by the vote of a  "majority"  of the  Trust's  outstanding  voting
securities.  Under the Investment  Company Act, a "majority"  vote is defined as
the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

      |_| 67% or  more of the  shares  present  or  represented  by  proxy  at a
      shareholder  meeting,  if the holders of more than 50% of the  outstanding
      shares are present or  represented  by proxy,  or
     |_| more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Trust's investment  objective is a fundamental policy.  Other policies
described in the  Prospectus  or this  Statement of Additional  Information  are
"fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Trust's Board of Trustees
can change  non-fundamental  policies  without  shareholder  approval.  However,
significant  changes to investment  policies will be described in supplements or
updates to the  Prospectus  or this  Statement  of  Additional  Information,  as
appropriate.  The Trust's most significant  investment policies are described in
the Prospectus.

     Does  the  Trust  Have  Additional   Fundamental  Policies?  The  following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Trust:

      |_| The Trust cannot invest in any security other than those  discussed in
the  Prospectus  or  Statement  of  Additional   Information  under  "Investment
Objective and Policies";

      |_| The Trust cannot  enter into  repurchase  agreements  maturing in more
than seven days or purchase  securities which are restricted as to resale or for
which market quotations are not readily available,  if any such investment would
cause more than 10% of the Trust's assets to be invested in such securities;

      |_| The  Trust  cannot  borrow  money in excess of 10% of the value of its
total  assets,  and  then  only as a  temporary  measure  for  extraordinary  or
emergency  purposes;  provided that the Trust will not make any  investment at a
time  during  which such  borrowing  exceeds 5% of the value of its  assets;  no
assets of the Trust may be pledged, mortgaged or assigned to secure a debt;

      |_| The Trust cannot make loans,  except  through (i) the purchase of debt
securities listed in the Prospectus under  "Investment  Objective and Policies,"
(ii) the purchase of such debt securities subject to repurchase  agreements,  or
(iii) loans of  securities  as described  under "Other  Investment  Strategies -
Loans of Portfolio Securities," in this Statement of Additional Information;

         |_| The Trust cannot invest in any debt instrument having a maturity in
excess  of one year from the date of the  investment,  or, in the case of a debt
instrument subject to a repurchase agreement or called for redemption,  having a
repurchase  or  redemption  date  more  than  one  year  from  the  date  of the
investment.

      |_| The Trust  cannot  invest in  commodities  or  commodity  contracts or
invest in interests  in oil, gas or other  mineral  exploration  or  development
programs;

      |_|   The Trust cannot invest in real estate;

     |_| The Trust cannot  purchase  securities on margin or make short sales of
securities;

      |_| The Trust cannot  invest in or hold  securities of any issuer if those
officers  and  Trustees  of  the  Trust  or its  advisor  who  beneficially  own
individually  more than 0.5% of the securities of such issuer  together own more
than 5% of the securities of such issuer;

      |_|   The Trust cannot underwrite securities of other companies; or

         |_|  The  Trust  cannot  invest  in  securities  of  other   investment
companies, except as they may be acquired as part of a merger,  consolidation or
acquisition of assets.

      |_| The Trust cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit
certain  investment  activities  for which assets of the Trust are designated as
segregated,  or margin,  collateral or escrow  arrangements are established,  to
cover the related obligations.

      Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information  states
that a percentage  restriction  applies on an ongoing basis,  it applies only at
the time the Trust makes an  investment.  The Trust need not sell  securities to
meet  the  percentage  limits  if the  value  of  the  investment  increases  in
proportion to the size of the Trust.

      For purposes of the Trust's policy not to concentrate  its  investments in
securities of issuers,  the Trust has adopted the industry  classifications  set
forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional  Information.  This is not a
fundamental policy.

How the Trust Is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The Trust is an  open-end,  diversified  management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts  business trust in 1982, with an
unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest.

      The Trust is governed by a Board of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for
protecting the interests of shareholders  under  Massachusetts law. The Trustees
meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust's activities,  review
its performance,  and review the actions of the Manager. Although the Trust will
not normally hold annual meetings of its  shareholders,  it may hold shareholder
meetings from time to time on important  matters.  Shareholders of the Trust may
have the right to call a meeting  to remove a Trustee  or to take  other  action
described in the Declaration of Trust.

      |X|  Classes of Shares.  The Trust has a single  class of shares of stock.
While that class has no designation,  it is deemed to be the equivalent of Class
A for purposes of the shareholder  account policies that apply to Class A shares
of the  Oppenheimer  funds.  Shares of the Trust are freely  transferable.  Each
share  has one vote at  shareholder  meetings,  with  fractional  shares  voting
proportionally  on matters  submitted  to a vote of  shareholders.  There are no
preemptive or conversion rights and shares participate  equally in the assets of
the Trust upon liquidation.

      |X| Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust
is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold,  regular annual  meetings of
shareholders.  The  Trust  will  hold  meetings  when  required  to do so by the
Investment  Company  Act or  other  applicable  law.  It will  also do so when a
shareholder  meeting is called by the  Trustees  or upon  proper  request of the
shareholders.

      Shareholders  have the right,  upon the  declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds  of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust,  to remove a Trustee.  The
Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee
upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of the outstanding  shares
of the Trust.  If the Trustees  receive a request from at least 10  shareholders
stating  that they wish to  communicate  with  other  shareholders  to request a
meeting to remove a Trustee,  the Trustees will then either make the shareholder
lists of the Trust  available to the applicants or mail their  communication  to
all other shareholders at the applicants'  expense.  The shareholders making the
request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares
of the  Trust  valued  at  $25,000  or more or  constituting  at least 1% of the
outstanding  shares of the Trust,  whichever is less. The Trustees may also take
other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

         |_|  Shareholder  and  Trustee  Liability.  The  Declaration  of  Trust
contains an express  disclaimer  of  shareholder  or Trustee  liability  for the
Trust's  obligations.  It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of the Trust's property for any shareholder held personally  liable
for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that upon request, the
Trust shall assume the defense of any claim made against a  shareholder  for any
act or  obligation  of the Trust and shall  satisfy any  judgment on that claim.
Massachusetts  law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Trust)
to be  held  personally  liable  as a  "partner"  under  certain  circumstances.
However,  the risk that a Trust shareholder will incur financial loss from being
held  liable as a  "partner"  of the Trust is limited to the  relatively  remote
circumstances in which the Trust would be unable to meet its obligations.

      The Trust's contractual  arrangements state that any person doing business
with the Trust (and each  shareholder of the Trust) agrees under the Declaration
of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Trust for satisfaction of any claim
or demand that may arise out of any dealings with the Trust.  Additionally,  the
Trustees  shall have no personal  liability  to any such  person,  to the extent
permitted by law.

   1.  For the 1998 calendar year.

      [_] Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees.  The Trustees have adopted
a Deferred  Compensation  Plan for  disinterested  Trustees that enables them to
elect to defer  receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled
to receive  from the  Trust.  Under the plan,  the  compensation  deferred  by a
Trustee  is  periodically  adjusted  as though  an  equivalent  amount  had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The
amount paid to the  Trustee  under this plan will be  determined  based upon the
performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral  of fees of the  Trustees  under  this plan  will not  materially
affect the Trust's assets,  liabilities or net income per share.  This plan will
not  obligate  the Trust to retain  the  services  of any  Trustee or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Trustee.  Pursuant to an Order issued by
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  the Trust  may  invest in the funds
selected by any Trustee  under this plan  without  shareholder  approval for the
limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustees' deferred fee accounts.

      |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of October 21, 1999 the only person who owned
of  record  or was  known  by the  Trust to own  beneficially  5% or more of the
Trust's outstanding retail shares was A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.  ("Edwards"),  1
North Jefferson Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, which owned 1,239,936,715.400
shares of the Trust  which was 95.0% of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust on
that date,  for accounts of its customers none of whom  individually  owned more
than 5% of the outstanding shares.

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., which is a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Oppenheimer  Acquisition  Corp.,  a holding  company
controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

      The portfolio  managers of the Trust are  principally  responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Trust's investment portfolio.  Other members of the
Manager's  fixed-income  portfolio  department,  particularly security analysts,
traders and other portfolio  managers,  have broad experience with  fixed-income
securities.  They  provide the Trust's  portfolio  managers  with  research  and
support in managing the Trust's investments.

      |X| The Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Manager provides  investment
advisory  and  management  services  to the Trust under an  investment  advisory
agreement between the Manager and the Trust. The Manager selects  securities for
the Trust's  portfolio  and  handles  its  day-to-day  business.  The  agreement
requires the Manager,  at its expense, to provide the Trust with adequate office
space,  facilities  and  equipment.  It also requires the Manager to provide and
supervise the activities of all  administrative  and clerical personnel required
to  provide  effective  administration  for the  Trust.  Those  responsibilities
include  the  compilation  and  maintenance  of  records  with  respect  to  its
operations,  the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of
proxy materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares
of the Trust.

      Expenses  not  expressly  assumed  by the  Manager  under  the  investment
advisory  agreement are paid by the Trust.  The  investment  advisory  agreement
lists  examples of expenses paid by the Trust.  The major  categories  relate to
interest,  taxes,  fees to  unaffiliated  Trustees,  legal and  audit  expenses,
custodian and transfer agent expenses,  share issuance costs,  certain  printing
and registration costs and non-recurring  expenses,  including litigation costs.
The management fees paid by the Trust to the Manager are calculated at the rates
described in the Prospectus.

      Under  the  investment  advisory  agreement,  the  Manager  has  agreed to
reimburse the Trust to the extent that the Trust's total expenses (including the
management  fee  but  excluding  interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,  and
extraordinary  expenses such as litigation  costs) exceed in any fiscal year the
lesser of: (i) 1.5% of average  annual net assets of the Trust up to $30 million
plus 1% of the  average  annual net assets in excess of $30 million or; (ii) 25%
of the total annual investment income of the Trust.

    The  investment  advisory  agreement  provides that the Manager shall not be
liable for any loss sustained by reason of the adoption of an investment  policy
or the  purchase,  sale or  retention  of any  security  on its  recommendation,
whether  or  not  such  recommendation  shall  have  been  based  upon  its  own
investigation and research or upon  investigation and research made by any other
individual, firm or corporation, if such recommendation shall have been made and
such other  individual,  firm or  corporation  shall have been selected with due
care  and in good  faith,  provided  that  nothing  in the  agreement  shall  be
construed  to protect the  Manager  against  any  liability  to the Trust or its
shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in
the  performance  of its duties,  or by reason of its reckless  disregard of its
obligations and duties under the agreement.

      |X| The Distributor.  Under its General  Distributor's  Agreement with the
Trust,  Centennial  Asset Management  Corporation acts as the Trust's  principal
underwriter  and  Distributor in the continuous  public  offering of the Trust's
shares.  The  Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific  number of shares.
The Distributor  bears the expenses  normally  attributable to sales,  including
advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses,  other than those
furnished to existing shareholders.

Portfolio  Transactions.  Portfolio decisions are based upon recommendations and
judgment  of the  Manager  subject  to the  overall  authority  of the  Board of
Trustees.  Most  purchases made by the Trust are principal  transactions  at net
prices,  so the Trust  incurs  little or no  brokerage  costs.  The Trust  deals
directly  with the  selling or  purchasing  principal  or market  maker  without
incurring  charges for the services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager
determines  that a better  price  or  execution  may be  obtained  by using  the
services  of a broker.  Purchases  of  portfolio  securities  from  underwriters
include a commission or concession  paid by the issuer to the  underwriter,  and
purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices.

      The Trust seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at the most favorable
net price. If broker/dealers are used for portfolio  transactions,  transactions
may be directed to broker/dealers for their execution and research services. The
research  services  provided by a particular broker may be useful only to one or
more of the  advisory  accounts of the Manager  and its  affiliates.  Investment
research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both
to the  Trust  and  one or  more of such  other  accounts.  Investment  research
services  may be supplied  to the Manager by a third party at the  instance of a
broker through which trades are placed. It may include  information and analyses
on particular  companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio  strategy,  receipt of market  quotations  for portfolio  evaluations,
information systems,  computer hardware and similar products and services.  If a
research  service also assists the Manager in a  non-research  capacity (such as
bookkeeping  or other  administrative  functions),  then only the  percentage or
component   that  provides   assistance   to  the  Manager  in  the   investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

      The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement
the research activities of the Manager.  That research provides additional views
and  comparisons  for  consideration,   and  helps  the  Manager  obtain  market
information  for the  valuation of securities  held in the Trust's  portfolio or
being considered for purchase.

      Subject to  applicable  rules  covering the  Manager's  activities in this
area, sales of shares of the Trust and/or the other investment companies managed
by the Manager or  distributed  by the  Distributor  may also be considered as a
factor  in the  direction  of  transactions  to  dealers.  That  must be done in
conformity  with the price,  execution  and other  considerations  and practices
discussed  above.  Those  other  investment  companies  may  also  give  similar
consideration  relating  to  the  sale  of  the  Trust's  shares.  No  portfolio
transactions  will be  handled  by any  securities  dealer  affiliated  with the
Manager.

      The  Trust's  policy of  investing  in  short-term  debt  securities  with
maturities  of less than one year  results in high  portfolio  turnover  and may
increase the Trust's transaction costs. However, since brokerage commissions, if
any, are small,  high turnover does not have an appreciable  adverse effect upon
the income of the Trust.

Service Plan

The Trust has adopted a Service Plan for the shares.  The plan has been approved
by a vote of the Board of  Trustees,  including  a majority  of the  Independent
Trustees2,  cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that
plan.

      Under the plan,  the  Manager  and the  Distributor  may make  payments to
affiliates and, in their sole  discretion,  from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Trust) to make payments to brokers,  dealers
or other financial  institutions for distribution  and  administrative  services
they perform.  The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it receives
from the Trust.  In their sole  discretion,  the Distributor and the Manager may
increase or decrease the amount of payments  they make from their own  resources
to plan recipients.

      Unless a plan is  terminated  as described  below,  the plan  continues in
effect  from  year to year but only if the  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  and its
Independent  Trustees  specifically  vote  annually to approve its  continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on continuing  the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote
of a majority  of the  Independent  Trustees  or by the vote of the holders of a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment  Company Act) of the outstanding shares
of the Trust.

      The Board of  Trustees  and the  Independent  Trustees  must  approve  all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of
payments to be made under a plan must be approved by  shareholders  of the class
affected by the  amendment.  The approval must be by a "majority" (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) of the shares.

2. In  accordance  with  Rule  12b-1 of the  Investment  Company  Act,  the term
"Independent  Trustees" in this  Statement of Additional  Information  refers to
those  Trustees  who are not  "interested  persons"  of the Trust (or its parent
corporation)  and who do not have any direct or indirect  financial  interest in
the operation of any agreement under the plan.

      While the plan is in effect,  the  Treasurer  of the Trust  shall  provide
separate written reports on the plan to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly
for its review.  The Reports  shall detail the amount of all payments made under
the plan and the purpose for which the  payments  were made.  Those  reports are
subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

      The plan states that while it is in effect,  the selection and  nomination
of those Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested  persons" of the Trust is
committed to the discretion of the Independent  Trustees.  This does not prevent
the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the
final  decision as to selection or  nomination  is approved by a majority of the
Independent Trustees.

      Under the plan, no payment will be made to any recipient in any quarter in
which the  aggregate  net asset value of all Trust shares held by the  recipient
for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount,  if any, that may
be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board of
Trustees has set no minimum  amount of assets to qualify for payments  under the
plan.

      |X| Service Plan Fees.  Under the service plan, the Distributor  currently
uses the fees it  receives  from the  Trust to pay  brokers,  dealers  and other
financial  institutions  (they are  referred to as  "recipients")  for  personal
services and account  maintenance  services they provide for their customers who
hold shares.  The services include,  among others,  answering customer inquiries
about the Trust,  assisting  in  establishing  and  maintaining  accounts in the
Trust,  making the  Trust's  investment  plans  available  and  providing  other
services  at the  request  of the Trust or the  Distributor.  The  service  plan
permits  reimbursements  to the  Distributor at a rate of up to 0.20% of average
annual net assets of the shares.  While the plan  permits the Board to authorize
payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the
Board has not yet done so. The  Distributor  makes  payments to plan  recipients
quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.20% of the average annual net assets
consisting of shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999  payments  under the plan  totaled
$2,485,301,  all of  which  was  paid by the  Distributor  to  recipients.  That
included $84,980 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's  parent company.  Any
unreimbursed  expenses the Distributor  incurs with respect to the shares in any
fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use
payments received under the plan to pay any of its interest  expenses,  carrying
charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

Performance of the Trust

Explanation  of  Performance  Terminology.  The Trust uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its performance.  These terms include "yield," "compounded  effective
yield" and "average annual total return." An explanation of how yields and total
returns are  calculated  is set forth  below.  The charts below show the Trust's
performance  as of the  Trust's  most  recent  fiscal  year end.  You can obtain
current  performance  information  by  calling  the  Trust's  Transfer  Agent at
1-800-525-9310.

      The Trust's  illustrations of its performance data in advertisements  must
comply  with  rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Those  rules
describe  the  types of  performance  data  that may be used and how it is to be
calculated.  If the Trust  shows total  returns in  addition to its yields,  the
returns must be for the 1-, 5- and 10-year  periods ending as of the most recent
calendar  quarter  prior  to  the  publication  of  the  advertisement  (or  its
submission for publication).

      Use of  standardized  performance  calculations  enables  an  investor  to
compare the Trust's  performance to the  performance of other funds for the same
periods.  However,  a number of factors  should be  considered  before using the
Trust's   performance   information  as  a  basis  for  comparisons  with  other
investments:

      |_| Yields and total returns  measure the  performance  of a  hypothetical
      account in the Trust over various  periods and do not show the performance
      of each shareholder's  account.  Your account's performance will vary from
      the model  performance data if your dividends are received in cash, or you
      buy or sell  shares  during the  period,  or you bought  your  shares at a
      different time than the shares used in the model.
     |_| An  investment  in the  Trust is not  insured  by the FDIC or any other
     government agency.
     |_| The Trust's yield is not fixed or guaranteed and will fluctuate.
     |_| Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical
     performance  information  and are not,  and  should  not be  considered,  a
     prediction of future yields or returns.

         |_| Yields.  The Trust's  current yield is  calculated  for a seven-day
period of time as follows.  First,  a base period return is  calculated  for the
seven-day  period by  determining  the net change in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing  account having one share at the beginning of the seven-day period.
The change  includes  dividends  declared on the  original  share and  dividends
declared  on any  shares  purchased  with  dividends  on that  share,  but  such
dividends  are adjusted to exclude any realized or  unrealized  capital gains or
losses  affecting  the  dividends  declared.  Next,  the base  period  return is
multiplied by 365/7 to obtain the current yield to the nearest  hundredth of one
percent.

      The compounded effective yield for a seven-day period is calculated by (1)
      adding 1 to the base period  return  (obtained  as described  above),  (2)
      raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and (3)  subtracting
      1 from the result.

      The  yield  as   calculated   above  may  vary  for  accounts   less  than
approximately  $100 in value  due to the  effect  of  rounding  off  each  daily
dividend  to the  nearest  full cent.  The  calculation  of yield  under  either
procedure  described  above does not take into  consideration  any  realized  or
unrealized gains or losses on the Trust's portfolio  securities which may affect
dividends.  Therefore,  the return on dividends declared during a period may not
be the same on an annualized basis as the yield for that period.

      [_]  Total  Return  Information.  There are  different  types of "total
returns" to measure the Trust's performance. Total return is the change in value
of a hypothetical investment in the Trust over a given period, assuming that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  are reinvested in additional  shares
and that the  investment  is redeemed at the end of the period.  The  cumulative
total return  measures the change in value over the entire  period (for example,
ten years).  An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would  produce the  cumulative  total return over the
entire  period.  However,  average  annual  total  returns  do not  show  actual
year-by-year performance. The Trust uses standardized calculations for its total
returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

         |_| Average Annual Total Return.  The "average  annual total return" of
each class is an  average  annual  compounded  rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical  initial  investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held
for a number of years ("n") to achieve an Ending  Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the
formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:


                    ( ERV ) 1/n
                    (-----) -1 = Average Annual Total Return
                    (  P  )


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         |_| Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return"  calculation
measures  the change in value of a  hypothetical  investment  of $1,000  over an
entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average
annual  total  return,  but it does not  average the rate of return on an annual
basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

            ERV - P
            ------- = Total Return
               P


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Yield         Compounded       Average Annual Total Returns (at 6/30/99)
 (7 days ended   Effective Yield
    6/30/99)      (7 days ended
                    6/30/99)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                     1-Year          5 Years        10 Years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     4.17%            4.26%           4.47%           4.80%           4.92%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      |X| Other  Performance  Comparisons.  Yield  information  may be useful to
investors in reviewing the Trust's  performance.  The Trust may make comparisons
between its yield and that of other investments,  by citing various indices such
as The Bank Rate Monitor  National Index  (provided by Bank Rate MonitorJ) which
measures the average rate paid on bank money market  accounts,  NOW accounts and
certificates  of deposits  by the 100  largest  banks and thrifts in the top ten
metro areas.  When  comparing the Trust's yield with that of other  investments,
investors should  understand that certain other investment  alternatives such as
certificates of deposit, U.S. government securities, money market instruments or
bank accounts may provide fixed yields and may be insured or guaranteed.

      From time to time, the Trust may include in its  advertisements  and sales
literature performance information about the Trust cited in other newspapers and
periodicals,  such  as  The  New  York  Times,  which  may  include  performance
quotations from other sources.

      From time to time, the Trust's Manager may publish  rankings or ratings of
the Manager (or the Transfer Agent) or the investor  services  provided by them.
Those ratings or rankings of investor/shareholder  services by third parties may
compare the services provided to those of other mutual fund families selected by
the rating or ranking services.  They may be based on the opinions of the rating
or ranking  service  itself,  based on its  research  or  judgment,  or based on
surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

How to Buy Shares

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value per share of the
Trust is determined twice each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange")
is open,  at 12:00 Noon and at 4:00 P.M, on each day that the  Exchange is open,
by dividing  the value of the  Trust's net assets by the total  number of shares
outstanding.  All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information
mean New York time. The  Exchange's  most recent annual  announcement  (which is
subject to change)  states that it will close on New Year's Day,  Martin  Luther
King Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence  Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

      The Trust's  Board of Trustees  has adopted the  amortized  cost method to
value the Trust's  portfolio  securities.  Under the  amortized  cost method,  a
security is valued  initially at its cost and its  valuation  assumes a constant
amortization  of any premium or accretion  of any  discount,  regardless  of the
impact of fluctuating  interest rates on the market value of the security.  This
method does not take into  consideration any unrealized  capital gains or losses
on securities.  While this method provides certainty in valuing  securities,  in
certain  periods the value of a security  determined  by  amortized  cost may be
higher or lower than the price the Trust would receive if it sold the security.

      The  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  has  established  procedures  reasonably
designed to  stabilize  the  Trust's  net asset value at $1.00 per share.  Those
procedures  include a review of the valuations of the Trust's portfolio holdings
by the Board of  Trustees,  at  intervals  it deems  appropriate,  to  determine
whether  the  Trust's  net asset  value  calculated  by using  available  market
quotations deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost.

      The Board of Trustees will examine the extent of any deviation between the
Trust's net asset value based upon  available  market  quotations  and amortized
cost.  If the Trust's  net asset  value were to deviate  from $1.00 by more than
0.5%, Rule 2a-7 requires the Board of Trustees to consider what action,  if any,
should be  taken.  If they find  that the  extent of the  deviation  may cause a
material dilution or other unfair effects on shareholders, the Board of Trustees
will take  whatever  steps it considers  appropriate  to eliminate or reduce the
dilution,  including,  among others,  withholding or reducing dividends,  paying
dividends from capital or capital gains, selling portfolio  instruments prior to
maturity to realize  capital gains or losses or to shorten the average  maturity
of the portfolio,  or calculating  net asset value per share by using  available
market quotations.

      During periods of declining  interest rates,  the daily yield on shares of
the Trust may tend to be lower (and net investment  income and dividends higher)
than those of a fund holding the  identical  investments  as the Trust but which
used a method of  portfolio  valuation  based on market  prices or  estimates of
market prices.  During periods of rising interest rates,  the daily yield of the
Trust  would tend to be higher  and its  aggregate  value  lower than that of an
identical portfolio using market price valuation.

How to Sell Shares

The information  below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares
set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to the Bank for clearance, the Bank will
ask the Trust to redeem a sufficient number of full and fractional shares in the
shareholder's  account  to cover  the  amount of the  check.  This  enables  the
shareholder to continue  receiving  dividends on those shares until the check is
presented to the Trust.  Checks may not be presented  for payment at the offices
of the Bank or the Trust's Custodian. This limitation does not affect the use of
checks for the  payment  of bills or to obtain  cash at other  banks.  The Trust
reserves  the right to  amend,  suspend  or  discontinue  offering  checkwriting
privileges at any time without prior notice.

     In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing the
Account  Application or by completing a Checkwriting  card,  each individual who
signs:

(1) for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered owner(s) of
the shares of the Trust in that account;

(2) for  accounts for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts and other  entities,
represents that they are an officer, general partner, trustee or other fiduciary
or agent,  as  applicable,  duly  authorized to act on behalf of the  registered
owner(s);

(3)  authorizes  the Trust,  its Transfer  Agent and any bank through  which the
Trust's drafts (checks) are payable to pay all checks drawn on the Trust account
of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient  amount of shares from that account
to cover payment of each check;

(4) specifically acknowledges that if they choose to permit checks to be honored
if there is a single  signature  on checks  drawn  against  joint  accounts,  or
accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities, the signature
of any one signatory on a check will be sufficient to authorize  payment of that
check and redemption from the account, even if that account is registered in the
names of more than one person or more than one authorized  signature  appears on
the Checkwriting  card or the Application,  as applicable;

(5) understands that the Checkwriting  privilege may be terminated or amended at
any time by the Trust and/or the Trust's bank; and

(6)  acknowledges and agrees that neither the Trust nor its bank shall incur any
liability for that amendment or termination  of  checkwriting  privileges or for
redeeming shares to pay checks reasonably believed by them to be genuine, or for
returning or not paying checks that have not been accepted for any reason.

Sending  Redemption  Proceeds by Federal  Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemptions  proceeds may be delayed if the Trust's  custodian  bank is not open
for  business on a day when the Trust would  normally  authorize  the wire to be
made,  which is usually the Trust's next  regular  business  day  following  the
redemption.  In those circumstances,  the wire will not be transmitted until the
next bank business day on which the Trust is open for business. No distributions
will be paid on the  proceeds of redeemed  shares  awaiting  transfer by Federal
Funds wire

Distributions   From  Retirement   Plans.   Requests  for   distributions   from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  IRAs,  403(b)(7)  custodial  plans,  401(k) plans or
pension   or   profit-sharing   plans   should   be   addressed   to   "Trustee,
OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed
in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement
of Additional Information. The request must

     (1) state the reason for the distribution;
     (2) state the owner's  awareness of tax  penalties if the  distribution  is
     premature; and
     (3)  conform  to the  requirements  of  the  plan  and  the  Trust's  other
     redemption requirements.

      Participants      (other      than      self-employed      persons)     in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  pension or  profit-sharing  plans with shares of the
Trust held in the name of the plan or its  fiduciary  may not  directly  request
redemption of their accounts.  The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the
request.

      Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special
requirements  under the Internal Revenue Code and certain  documents  (available
from the Transfer  Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer  Agent
before the  distribution  may be made.  Distributions  from retirement plans are
subject to  withholding  requirements  under the Internal  Revenue Code, and IRS
Form W-4P  (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer
Agent with the distribution request, or the distribution may be delayed.  Unless
the   shareholder   has  provided  the  Transfer  Agent  with  a  certified  tax
identification  number,  the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld
from any distribution  even if the shareholder  elects not to have tax withheld.
The Trust, the Manager,  the Distributor the  Sub-Distributor,  and the Transfer
Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a distribution satisfies the
conditions  of  applicable  tax laws and  will  not be  responsible  for any tax
penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

and the following money
market funds:
                                          Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial America Fund, L. P.            Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
Centennial Government Trust               Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Centennial Money Market Trust

      Shares of the Trust purchased  without a sales charge may be exchanged for
shares of an eligible fund offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales
charge.   Shares  of  the  Trust  acquired  by   reinvestment  of  dividends  or
distributions  from the Trust or any of the other  eligible  funds  (other  than
Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves)  or  from  any  unit  investment  trust  for  which
reinvestment  arrangements  have been made with the Distributor may be exchanged
at net asset value for shares of any of the eligible funds.

      |_| Limits on Multiple  Exchange  Orders.  The Trust reserves the right to
reject  telephone or written  exchange  requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account.  The Trust may accept requests for exchanges of
up to 50  accounts  per day from  representatives  of  authorized  dealers  that
qualify for this privilege.

      |_| Telephone  Exchange Requests.  When exchanging shares by telephone,  a
direct  shareholder  must  have an  existing  account  in the fund to which  the
exchange is to be made. Otherwise, the investor must obtain a prospectus of that
fund before the exchange  request may be submitted.  If all telephone  lines are
busy (which  might occur,  for example,  during  periods of  substantial  market
fluctuations),  shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone
and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      |_| Processing  Exchange Requests.  Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on
the regular  business day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an exchange  request in
proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired
are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be delayed by
either  fund up to  five  business  days  if it  determines  that  it  would  be
disadvantaged  by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.  The Trust
reserves the right, in its discretion,  to refuse any exchange  request that may
disadvantage it (for example,  if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from
a dealer might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a
price that might be disadvantageous to the Trust).

      In connection with any exchange  request,  the number of shares  exchanged
may be less than the number  requested if the  exchange or the number  requested
would include  shares  subject to a restriction  cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional  Information  or would include shares covered by a share
certificate  that is not  tendered  with the request.  In those cases,  only the
shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

      The  different  eligible  funds  available  for  exchange  have  different
investment objectives,  policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the
fund selected is  appropriate  for his or her  investment and should be aware of
the tax  consequences  of an  exchange.  For  Federal  income tax  purposes,  an
exchange  transaction  is  treated as a  redemption  of shares of one fund and a
purchase of shares of another. The Trust, the Distributor,  the Sub-Distributor,
and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment,  tax or legal advice to
a shareholder  in connection  with an exchange  request or any other  investment
transaction.

      The Trust may amend,  suspend or terminate  the exchange  privilege at any
time. Although,  the Trust may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes  whenever it is required to do so by applicable
law. It may be required to provide 60 days notice prior to  materially  amending
or  terminating  the exchange  privilege.  That 60-day notice is not required in
extraordinary circumstances.

Dividends and Taxes

Tax Status of the Trust's Dividends and Distributions. The federal tax treatment
of the Trust's  dividends  and capital gains  distributions  is explained in the
Prospectus  under the  caption  "Distributions  and Taxes."  Under the  Internal
Revenue Code,  by December 31 each year,  the Trust must  distribute  98% of its
taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year
and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior
year through  October 31 of the current year. It if does not, the Trust must pay
an excise tax on the amounts not distributed.  It is presently  anticipated that
the Trust will meet those requirements.  However,  the Board of Trustees and the
Manager  might  determine  in a  particular  year  that it  would be in the best
interest of shareholders for the Trust not to make distributions at the required
levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce
the  amount  of  income  or  capital  gains   available  for   distribution   to
shareholders.   The   Trust's   dividends   will   not  be   eligible   for  the
dividends-received deduction for corporations.

      If the Trust  qualifies  as a  "regulated  investment  company"  under the
Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for federal income taxes on amounts
paid by it as  distributions.  That  qualification  enables  the  Trust to "pass
through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to
pay tax on them. The Trust  qualified as a regulated  investment  company in its
last fiscal year and intends to qualify in future years,  but reserves the right
not to qualify.  The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests to
determine whether the Trust qualifies. The Trust might not meet those tests in a
particular  year.  If it does not  qualify,  the Trust will be  treated  for tax
purposes  as an  ordinary  corporation  and will  receive no tax  deduction  for
payments of distributions made to shareholders.

      Dividends,  distributions  and the  proceeds  of the  redemption  of Trust
shares  represented  by checks  returned  to the  Transfer  Agent by the  Postal
Service as undeliverable  will be invested in shares of the Trust as promptly as
possible  after the return of such  checks to the  Transfer  Agent,  in order to
enable the investor to earn a return on otherwise idle funds.

Dividend  Reinvestment  in Another Trust.  Direct  shareholders of the Trust may
elect to reinvest all dividends  and/or capital gains  distributions  in Class A
shares of any eligible fund listed above. To elect this option,  the shareholder
must notify the Transfer  Agent in writing and must have an existing  account in
the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise, the shareholder first must obtain
a prospectus for that fund and an application  from the Distributor to establish
an account.  The investment will be made at the close of business on the payable
date of the dividend or distribution.

Additional Information About the Trust

The Distributor.  The Trust's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other
financial institutions that have a sales agreement with the Sub-Distributor. The
Distributor and the  Sub-Distributor  also distribute  shares of the other funds
managed by the Manager or an affiliate.

The Transfer Agent.  Shareholder  Services,  Inc. the Trust's Transfer Agent, is
responsible  for maintaining  the Trust's  shareholder  registry and shareholder
accounting  records,  and for paying dividends and distributions to shareholders
of  the  Trust.  It  also  handles  shareholder   servicing  and  administrative
functions. It is paid on a "at-cost" basis.

The  Custodian.  Citibank,  N.A. is the  Custodian  of the Trust's  assets.  The
Custodian's  responsibilities  include  safeguarding and controlling the Trust's
portfolio  securities  and handling the delivery of such  securities to and from
the Trust.  It will be the practice of the Trust to deal with the Custodian in a
manner uninfluenced by any banking  relationship the Custodian may have with the
Manager and its  affiliates.  The Trust's cash  balances  with the  Custodian in
excess of  $100,000  are not  protected  by  federal  deposit  insurance.  Those
uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Auditors.  Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent auditors of the
Trust.  They audit the Trust's  financial  statements  and perform other related
audit  services.  They  also act as  auditors  for the  Manager  and OFI and for
certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Centennial Government Trust


The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Centennial Government Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the  statement of  investments,  of Centennial  Government  Trust as of June 30,
1999,  the  related  statement  of  operations  for the  year  then  ended,  the
statements  of changes in net assets for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the financial highlights for the period July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1999. These
financial  statements  and financial  highlights are the  responsibility  of the
Trust'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  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  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 June
30, 1999, by correspondence  with the custodian and brokers;  where replies were
not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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,  such  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  present
fairly,  in  all  material  respects,   the  financial  position  of  Centennial
Government Trust as of June 30, 1999, the results of its operations, the changes
in its net  assets,  and the  financial  highlights  for the  respective  stated
periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Centennial Government Trust


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Centennial Government Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust's investment objective is to seek a high level of
current income consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance
of liquidity. The Trust's investment advisor is Centennial Asset Management
Corporation (the Manager), a subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI). The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed
by the Trust.

Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Repurchase Agreements. The Trust requires the custodian to take possession, to
have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have
segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for
repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is
required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If
the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines,
or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of
the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.

Federal Taxes. The Trust intends to continue to comply with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income or excise tax provision is required. As of June 30, 1999, the Trust had
available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss carryover of
approximately $550,000, which expires between 2003 and 2005.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders, which are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of
custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Trust.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized
gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis,
which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

3. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment
advisory agreement with the Trust which provides for a fee of 0.50% of the first
$250 million of net assets, 0.475% of the next $250 million of net assets, 0.45%
of the next $250 million of net assets, 0.425% of the next $250 million of net
assets, and 0.40% on net assets in excess of $1 billion.

The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Trust if aggregate expenses (with
specified exceptions) exceed the lesser of 1.50% of the first $30 million of
average annual net assets of the Trust, plus 1% of average annual net assets in
excess of $30 million; or 25% of the total annual investment income of the
Trust. Effective January 1, 1999, the following breakpoints were added: 0.375%
on average net assets over $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion and 0.35% on average
net assets over $1.5 billion. The Trust's management fee for the year ended June
30, 1999 was 0.45% of average annual net assets.

Shareholder Services, Inc. (SSI), a subsidiary of OFI, is the transfer and
shareholder servicing agent for the Trust and for other registered investment
companies. SSI's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably to
these companies.

Under an approved plan of distribution, the Trust may expend up to 0.20% of its
net assets annually to reimburse certain securities dealers and other financial
institutions and organizations for costs incurred in distributing Trust shares.
During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Trust paid $84,980 to a broker/dealer
affiliated with the Manager as reimbursement for distribution-related expenses.

                        Description of Securities Ratings

Below is a description of the two highest rating  categories for Short Term Debt
and  Long   Term   Debt  by  the   "Nationally-Recognized   Statistical   Rating
Organizations" which the Manager evaluates in purchasing securities on behalf of
the Trust.  The ratings  descriptions  are based on information  supplied by the
ratings organizations to subscribers.

Short-Term Debt Ratings.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  rating  designations  for commercial paper (defined by Moody's as
promissory  obligations not having original  maturity in excess of nine months),
are  judged by  Moody's  to be  investment  grade,  and  indicate  the  relative
repayment capacity of rated issuers:

Prime-1: Superior capacity for repayment. Capacity will normally be evidenced by
the following characteristics: (a) leveling market positions in well-established
industries;  (b)  high  rates of  return  on funds  employed;  (c)  conservative
capitalization  structures  with  moderate  reliance  on debt  and  ample  asset
protection; (d) broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and
high internal cash  generation;  and (e) well  established  access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2: Strong capacity for repayment.  This will normally be evidenced by many
of the characteristics  cited above but to a lesser degree.  Earnings trends and
coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation.  Capitalization
characteristics,  while  still  appropriate,  may be more  affected  by external
conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Moody's  ratings for state and municipal  short-term  obligations are designated
"Moody's Investment Grade" ("MIG").  Short-term notes which have demand features
may also be designated as "VMIG". These rating categories are as follows:

MIG1/VMIG1: Best quality. There is present strong protection by established cash
flows,  superior  liquidity  support or demonstrated  broad-based  access to the
market for refinancing.

MIG2/VMIG2:  High quality. Margins of protection are ample although not so large
as in the preceding group.


<PAGE>


Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  ratings by Standard & Poor's for commercial paper (defined by S&P
as debt  having  an  original  maturity  of no more than 365  days)  assess  the
likelihood of payment:

A-1:  Strong  capacity for timely  payment.  Those issues  determined to possess
extremely  strong  safety  characteristics  are  denoted  with a plus  sign  (+)
designation.

A-2: Satisfactory  capacity for timely payment.  However, the relative degree of
safety is not as high as for issues designated "A-1".

S&P's ratings for Municipal Notes due in three years or less are:

SP-1: Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues
determined to possess  overwhelming safety  characteristics will be given a plus
(+) designation.

SP-2:             Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

S&P assigns "dual  ratings" to all  municipal  debt issues that have a demand or
double  feature as part of their  provisions.  The first  rating  addresses  the
likelihood  of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second rating
addresses  only the demand  feature.  With  short-term  demand debt,  S&P's note
rating  symbols  are used  with  the  commercial  paper  symbols  (for  example,
"SP-1+/A-1+").


Fitch IBCA, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fitch  assigns the following  short-term  ratings to debt  obligations  that are
payable on demand or have  original  maturities  of generally up to three years,
including  commercial  paper,  certificates of deposit,  medium-term  notes, and
municipal and investment notes:

F-1+: Exceptionally strong credit quality; the strongest degree of assurance for
timely payment.

F-1: Very strong credit  quality;  assurance of timely  payment is only slightly
less in degree than issues rated "F-1+". F-2: Good credit quality;  satisfactory
degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great
as for issues assigned "F-1+" or "F-1" ratings.


Duff & Phelps, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  following  ratings are for  commercial  paper  (defined by Duff & Phelps as
obligations  with  maturities,  when  issued,  of under one year),  asset-backed
commercial paper, and certificates of deposit (the ratings cover all obligations
of the institution with maturities,  when issued,  of under one year,  including
bankers' acceptance and letters of credit):

Duff 1+: Highest certainty of timely payment.  Short-term  liquidity,  including
internal  operating  factors and/or access to alternative  sources of funds,  is
outstanding,  and  safety  is just  below  risk-free  U.S.  Treasury  short-term
obligations.

Duff 1: Very high certainty of timely payment.  Liquidity  factors are excellent
and supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are minor.

Duff 1-: High  certainty  of timely  payment.  Liquidity  factors are strong and
supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are very small.

Duff 2:  Good  certainty  of  timely  payment.  Liquidity  factors  and  company
fundamentals  are  sound.  Although  ongoing  funding  needs may  enlarge  total
financing  requirements,  access to capital  markets is good.  Risk  factors are
small.


Thomson BankWatch, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following  short-term  ratings apply to commercial  paper,  certificates  of
deposit,  unsecured notes, and other securities having a maturity of one year or
less.

TBW-1:  The highest  category;  indicates the degree of safety  regarding timely
repayment of principal and interest is very strong.

TBW-2: The second highest rating category;  while the degree of safety regarding
timely  repayment of principal  and interest is strong,  the relative  degree of
safety is not as high as for issues rated "TBW-1".

Long Term Debt Ratings

These  ratings  are  relevant  for  securities  purchased  by the  Trust  with a
remaining  maturity  of 397 days or less,  or for rating  issuers of  short-term
obligations.

Moody's  Investors Service, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Aaa: Judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment
risk  and are  generally  referred  to as "gilt  edge."  Interest  payments  are
protected by a large or by an  exceptionally  stable  margin,  and  principal is
secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes
as can be  visualized  are most  unlikely  to impair  the  fundamentally  strong
positions of such issues.

Aa: Judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group
they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower
than the best  bonds  because  margins of  protection  may not be as large as in
"Aaa"  securities  or  fluctuations  of  protective  elements  may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements  present which make the long-term risks
appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

Moody's  applies  numerical  modifiers  "1",  "2"  and  "3" in its  "Aa"  rating
classification. The modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks in the higher
end of its generic  rating  category;  the  modifier  "2"  indicates a mid-range
ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of
its generic rating category.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

AAA:  The highest  rating  assigned by S&P.  Capacity to pay  interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.

AA: A strong  capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from "AAA"
rated issues only in small degree.

Fitch IBCA, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAA:  Considered to be investment  grade and of the highest credit quality.  The
obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal,
which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA:  Considered  to be  investment  grade and of very high credit  quality.  The
obligor's  ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong,  although
not quite as strong as bonds rated "AAA".  Plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used
in the "AA"  category to indicate the relative  position of a credit within that
category.

Because  bonds  rated in the "AAA"  and "AA"  categories  are not  significantly
vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,  short-term debt of these issuers
is generally rated "F-1+".

Duff & Phelps, Inc.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAA: The highest credit  quality.  The risk factors are  negligible,  being only
slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.

AA: High credit quality.  Protection factors are strong.  Risk is modest but may
vary  slightly  from time to time because of economic  conditions.  Plus (+) and
minus (-) signs are used in the "AA" category to indicate the relative  position
of a credit within that category.

Thomson BankWatch, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TBW issues  the  following  ratings  for  companies.  These  ratings  assess the
likelihood of receiving  payment of principal and interest on a timely basis and
incorporate  TBW's  opinion as to the  vulnerability  of the  company to adverse
developments,  which may impact the market's perception of the company,  thereby
affecting the marketability of its securities.

A:  Possesses  an  exceptionally  strong  balance  sheet  and  earnings  record,
translating into an excellent  reputation and unquestioned access to its natural
money  markets.  If  weakness  or  vulnerability  exists  in any  aspect  of the
company's   business,   it  is  entirely  mitigated  by  the  strengths  of  the
organization.

A/B: The company is financially  very solid with a favorable track record and no
readily apparent weakness.  Its overall risk profile, while low, is not quite as
favorable as for companies in the highest rating
