Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.
IN REVIEWING PERFORMANCE AND RANKINGS, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PAST PERFORMANCE
DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE OF AN
INVESTMENT IN THE FUND WILL FLUCTUATE SO THAT AN INVESTOR'S SHARES, WHEN
REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL COST. All classes of
shares have the same investment portfolio but different expenses. For more
complete information, please review the prospectus carefully before you invest.
Prior to March 1, 1996, the Fund had a different investment adviser. However,
the prior portfolio management team is now employed by OppenheimerFunds, Inc.,
the current adviser.

1. Includes change in net asset value per share without deducting any sales
charges. Such performance is not annualized and would have been lower if sales
charges were taken into account.

2. Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%.
Class A shares were first publicly offered on 9/16/85.  The Fund's maximum
sales charge for Class A shares was less during a portion of some of the
periods shown, and actual investment results will be different as a result.
Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5%
(1 year) and 4% (since inception). Class C returns include the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge of 1%. An explanation of the different
performance calculations is in the Fund's prospectus. Class B and C shares are
subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

So far, 1997 has brought the volatility we anticipated in the equity market.
April saw a 9% decline, but it was followed by an even larger rebound. Despite
this volatility, we remain optimistic about the rest of the year. On the one
hand, the equity market is backed by solid economic fundamentals that should
continue for the near future. On the other hand, the ups and downs of the
business cycle are a reality, and at some point, possibly this year, we expect
that the economy will move into a phase of slower growth.

      On a positive note, the economy has been expanding slowly but steadily.
Interest rates are still relatively low, despite the Federal Reserve's recent
increase in short-term rates. Low interest rates translate into reduced
borrowing rates for companies, which use these savings to improve productivity
through new efficiency-enhancing technologies. Higher productivity translates
into lower production costs, which in turn results in higher profits.

      In addition, inflation is at its lowest level in three decades. While
it's true that an increase in interest rates often indicates an accelerating
economy, the Federal Reserve has been quick to acknowledge that inflation and
growth are under control. In fact, they've labeled the recent move as a
"pre-emptive" act to keep inflation low and extend the economy's healthy growth
cycle.

      Despite this good news, we are realistic about the future of the equity
market. During 1996, most market gains came from a very select group of about
50-100 large-capitalization stocks. The broader market, including small- and
mid-size companies, actually delivered mixed results for the past year. Many
large-company stocks are becoming overvalued, or expensive in price, and market
buyers will reach a point when they are no longer willing to pay high premiums
for them. This may result in a correction, unless investors turn to the many
small- and mid-cap stocks that are relatively undervalued. There is plenty of
room for growth in these areas, and we expect to see these stocks participating
in the market during 1997.

      In this uncertain period, selectivity will be our key to maintaining an
effective portfolio. It will be important to base stock choices on the
individual merits of companies, such as strong management, fundamental business
policies, long-term future prospects and price. For you, the investor,
maintaining a long-term investment horizon is essential. Short-term swings will
inevitably occur, but the market's long-term trend has been to move higher and
higher.

      Your portfolio managers discuss the outlook for your Fund in light of
these broad issues on the following pages. Thank you for your confidence in
OppenheimerFunds, The Right Way to Invest. We look forward to helping you reach
your investment goals in the future.

Q + A

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

We continued to employ Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund's time-tested
strategy of buying undervalued stocks with better-than-anticipated earnings.
This value strategy was out of favor in the middle part of 1996 as investors
grav-itated toward more expensive growth stocks which they believed offered
relatively certain earnings prospects. More recently, the market has once again
begun to acknowledge the positive earnings potential of out-of-favor stocks.
For the six-month period ending April 30, 1997, cumulative total return before
sales charges was 10.69% for the Fund's Class A shares.(1)

WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO YOU LOOK FOR WHEN EVALUATING STOCKS?

We screen the marketplace for out-of-favor, undervalued stocks that have
experienced recent favorable earnings surprises. Unexpected by Wall Street
analysts, these positive surprises often are leading indicators that
out-of-favor stocks may be ready to make a comeback. We manage using a
"bottom-up" approach, looking at companies (rather than sectors), to find those
investments with the most potential. Before purchasing a stock, we determine
the reasons for the company's low valuation, the circumstances that created the
positive earnings surprise, if the earnings trend is sustainable and if
fundamentally the company is a good investment.

WHAT INVESTMENTS MADE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERFORMANCE?

The Fund's largest weighting was in the financial services sector, and these
securities provided the Fund with its strongest performance. Conseco, an
insurance company whose management team has a major interest in the value of
the stock, performed exceptionally well by adding several successful
acquisitions to the company's core business. Other strong performers among the
Fund's financial holdings included Travelers Group, NationsBank, BankAmerica,
BankBoston and Chase Manhattan.

      Although the Fund was underweighted in technology stocks, the stocks we
owned in this sector performed very well. Our holdings in Seagate Technology,
Dell Computer and Intel outperformed analysts' expectations for the period, due
in part to strong personal computer demand.(2)

DID ANY INVESTMENTS NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PORTFOLIO?

Our natural gas holdings under-performed for the period. Natural gas prices
rose sub-stantially last year, creating earnings momentum in the industry and
excellent stock performance. In 1997, natural gas prices have fallen back
somewhat, and stocks with exposure to that business have lagged as a result. We
have cut our positions slightly, but continue to maintain some holdings where
we still see strong fundamentals.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

After a difficult period in mid-1996, when our discipline was out-of-favor with
the market, our investment approach has begun to reassert its strength over the
last six months. The correction in the stock market at the end of March reduced
valuations on many stocks and provided additional opportunities for investing
in undervalued stocks with positive earnings surprises.

1. Includes change in net asset value per share without deducting any sales
charges. Such performance is not annualized and would have been lower if sales
charges were taken into account.

2. The Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   (Unaudited)

================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
      Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund (the Fund), a series of Oppenheimer
      Series Fund, Inc. (the Company), is registered under the Investment
      Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
      investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital
      appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks with low
      price-earnings ratios and better-than-anticipated earnings. The Fund's
      investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Fund
      offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A shares are
      sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be
      subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have
      identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that
      each class has its own expenses directly attributable to a particular
      class and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting a
      single class. Classes A, B and C have separate distribution and/or
      service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B
      shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the
      date of purchase. The following is a summary of significant accounting
      policies consistently followed by the Fund.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
      INVESTMENT VALUATION. Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the
      New York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Listed and unlisted
      securities for which such information is regularly reported are valued at
      the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values
      based on the closing bid or the last sale price on the prior trading day.
      Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt securities are valued by
      a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of Directors.  Such
      securities which cannot be valued by the approved portfolio pricing
      service are valued using dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager
      is satisfied that the firm rendering the quotes is reliable and that the
      quotes reflect current market value, or are valued under consistently
      applied procedures established by the Board of Directors to determine
      fair value in good faith. Short-term "money market type" debt securities
      having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or
      last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of
      any premium or discount.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
      REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund 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 Fund may be
      delayed or limited.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
      ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, AND GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses
      (other than those attributable to a specific class) and gains and losses
      are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative
      proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses
      directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the
      operations of that class.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
      DIRECTORS' FEES AND EXPENSES. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded retirement
      plan for the Fund's independent directors. Benefits are based on years of
      service and fees paid to each director during the years of service.
      During the six months ended April 30, 1997, a provision of $33,667 was
      made for the Fund's projected benefit obligations and payments of $3,016
      were made to retired directors, resulting in an accumulated liability of
      $38,627.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
      FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund 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, including any net realized
      gain on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders.
      Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
      DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to shareholders
      are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

12     Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund
<PAGE>   13


================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   (CONTINUED)
        CLASSIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Net investment income
        (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement
        and tax purposes. The character of the distributions made during the
        year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from
        their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also,
        due to timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which
        amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or
        realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the
        investments are purchased or sold (trade date) and dividend income is
        recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on
        investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation 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.

================================================================================
2. SHARES OF
   CAPITAL STOCK
        The Fund has authorized 500 million of $0.001 par value shares of

        affiliated broker/dealer. During the six months ended April 30, 1997,
        OFDI received contingent deferred sales charges of $7,582 upon
        redemption of Class B shares as reimbursement for sales commissions
        advanced by OFDI at the time of sale of such shares.

                 OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, is
        the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund, and for
        other registered investment companies. OFS's total costs of providing
        such services are allocated ratably to these companies.

                 The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares to
        reimburse OFDI for a portion of its costs incurred in connection with
        the personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold Class A
        shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate that may not
        exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the
        Fund. OFDI uses the service fee to reimburse brokers, dealers, banks
        and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal
        service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class
        A shares. During the six months April 30, 1997, OFDI paid $164,617 to
        an affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class A personal
        service and maintenance expenses.

                 The Fund has adopted compensation type Distribution and
        Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares to compensate OFDI for its
        services and costs in distributing Class B and Class C shares and
        servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays OFDI an annual
        asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B and Class C
        shares as compensation for sales commissions paid from its own
        resources at the time of sale and associated financing costs. OFDI also
        receives a service fee of 0.25% per year as compensation for costs
        incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of
        accounts that hold shares of the Fund, including amounts paid to
        brokers, dealers, banks and other financial institutions. Both fees are
        computed on the average annual net assets of Class B and Class C
        shares, determined as of the close of each regular business day. During
        the six months ended April 30, 1997, OFDI retained $42,071 and $8,223,
        respectively, as compensation for Class B and Class C sales commissions
        and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. If the Plans are
        terminated by the Fund, the Board of Directors may allow the Fund to
        continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to OFDI for certain
        expenses it incurred before the Plans were terminated. As of April 30,
        1997, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of $393,760 for Class B
        and $61,837 for Class C.
