appreciation?            peak, we have begun to adopt a more defensive posture
                         in recent months. Our investments in convertible
                         securities have performed extremely well. These
                         investments provided substantial capital gains, while
                         at the same time offered high yields and lowered the
                         volatility of the overall portfolio."

1. Based on the change in net asset value per Class A share from 6/30/93 and
12/31/92 to 12/31/93. The Fund's average annual total returns after deducting
the current maximum sales charge of 5.75% per Class A share for the 1-, 5-, and
10-year periods ended 12/31/93 were 7.98%, 9.65% and 11.93%, respectively. The
Fund's maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares was higher during a
portion of the period shown and actual performance would be different as a
result. Cumulative total return for Class B shares from 8/17/93 (inception of
the class) to 12/31/93 was -3.39%. Class B performance information reflects the
change in value of a hypothetical investment made on 8/17/93 and held until
12/31/93, with all dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested and
after applying the contingent deferred sales charge of 5%. All total return
calculations include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

2. MORNINGSTAR MUTUAL FUNDS, 1/7/94, an independent mutual fund monitoring
service, which ranks funds in specific investment categories monthly by a
quantitative system that uses investment performance, risk assessment factors
and adjusts returns for fees and sales loads. 1-star is the lowest ranking,
5-stars the highest. Of 1,002 equity funds ranked by Morningstar in that period,
10% received a 5-star ranking and 22.5% received a 4-star ranking. Risk
assessment reflects fund performance relative to 3-month Treasury bill returns.

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

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The principal value and
return 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.

                                Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund provided a total
                                return at net asset value of 4.23% per Class A

COMPETITIVE TOTAL RETURNS       ended December 31 was 14.57%.(4) This was higher

Oppenheimer Equity    14.57%              The U.S. economy is growing moderately
Income Fund A(4)                and interest rates have stabilized after an
(at net asset value)            extended period of decline. In this environment,
- ----------------------------    and with the stock market at record highs, the
S&P 500(5)            10.06%    Fund's managers have adopted a more conservative
- ----------------------------    investment posture. We have maintained a large
Lipper equity         13.38%    position in convertible securities, which tend
income funds average(6)         to hold their value better than common stocks
                                during market corrections, while providing
                                relatively substantial yield in this
                                low-interest-rate economy.
                                          The Fund's convertible securities have
                                provided impressive capital gains, as well as
                                boosted the yield and lowered the volatility of
                                the portfolio. For instance, our investments in
                                Fordand Chrysler are performing well, as U.S.
                                automotive companies continue to gain market
                                share at the expense of their Japanese
                                competitors.
                                          In the common stock portion of the
                                portfolio, we continue to favor financial
                                services companies, which have appreciated
                                considerably, despite periods of volatility. We
                                are also emphasizing companies that are
                                positioned to benefit from the U.S. economic
                                recovery. For example, we are invested in John
                                Deere and Tenneco, farm equipment manufacturers
                                that are enjoying a substantial increase in
                                equipment sales after several years of
                                lackluster demand.
                                          We believe that 1994 will provide a
                                relatively stable investment environment, with
                                interest rates holding near current levels and
                                inflation remaining under control. We will
                                continue to monitor economic developments
                                closely, to seek the best investment
                                opportunities for the Fund. We are pleased that
                                Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund has produced both
                                high income and capital growth, and we look
                                forward to serving your investment needs.

                          as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
                          investment company. The Fund's investment advisor is
                          Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the Manager). The
                          Fund offers both Class A and Class B shares. Class A
                          shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B
                          shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales
                          charge. Both classes of shares have identical rights
                          to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that
                          each class has its own distribution plan, expenses
                          directly attributable to a particular class and
                          exclusive voting rights with respect to matters
                          affecting a single class. 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 4:00 p.m. (New York time) 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 asked
                          price or the last sale price on the prior trading day.
                          Long-term debt securities are valued by a portfolio
                          pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.
                          Long-term debt securities which cannot be valued by
                          the approved portfolio pricing service are valued by
                          averaging the mean between the bid and asked prices
                          obtained from two active market makers in such
                          securities. Short-term 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.
                          Securities for which market quotes are not readily
                          available are valued under procedures established by
                          the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good
                          faith. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued
                          at the forward rate on a daily basis.

                          ------------------------------------------------------
                          FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records
                          of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of
                          securities denominated in foreign currencies are
                          translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of
                          exchange. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of
                          securities and investment income are translated at the
                          rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates
                          of such transactions.
                                        The Fund generally enters into forward
                          currency exchange contracts as a hedge, upon the
                          purchase or sale of a security denominated in a
                          foreign currency. In addition, the Fund may enter into
                          such contracts as a hedge against changes in foreign
                          currency exchange rates on portfolio positions. A
                          forward exchange contract is a commitment to purchase
                          or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a
                          negotiated rate. Risks may arise from the potential
                          inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the
                          contract and from unanticipated movements in the value
                          of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
                                        The effect of changes in foreign
                          currency exchange rates on investments is separately
                          identified from the fluctuations arising from changes
                          in market values of securities held and reported with
                          all other foreign currency gains and losses in the
                          Fund's results of operations.

                          ------------------------------------------------------
                          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. 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.

                          ------------------------------------------------------
                          FEDERAL INCOME 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 tax provision is required.

                          EQUALIZATION. Prior to September 24, 1993, the Fund
                          followed the accounting practice of equalization, by
                          which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs
                          of redemptions of Fund shares equivalent on a per
                          share basis to the amount of undistributed net
                          investment income were credited or charged to
                          undistributed income. The cumulative effect of the
                          change in accounting practice resulted in a
                          reclassification of $11,484,596 from undistributed net
                          investment income to paid-in capital.

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

                          ------------------------------------------------------
                          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. Discount on securities purchased is
                          amortized over the life of the respective securities,
                          in accordance with federal income tax requirements.
                          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.
                          Interest on payment-in-kind debt instruments is
                          accrued as income at the coupon rate and a market
                          adjustment is made on the ex-date.

4. MANAGEMENT FEES AND    Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance
   OTHER TRANSACTIONS     with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund
   WITH AFFILIATES        which provides for an annual fee of .75% on the first
                          $100 million of net assets with a reduction of .05% on
                          each $100 million thereafter, to .50% on net assets in
                          excess of $500 million. The Manager has agreed to
                          reimburse the Fund if aggregate expenses (with
                          specified exceptions) exceed 1.5% of the first $30
                          million of average annual net assets of the Fund, plus
                          1% of average annual net assets in excess of $30
                          million.
                                   For the six months ended December 31, 1993,
                          commissions (sales charges paid by investors) on sales
                          of Class A shares totaled $4,105,890, of which
                          $1,314,246 was retained by Oppenheimer Funds
                          Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the Manager,
                          as general distributor, and by an affiliated
                          broker/dealer. During the six months ended December
                          31, 1993, OFDI received contingent deferred sales
                          charges of $6,901 upon redemption of Class B shares.
                                   Oppenheimer Shareholder Services (OSS), a

                          other registered investment companies. OSS's total
                          costs of providing such services are allocated ratably
                          to these companies.
                                   Under separate approved plans of
                          distribution, each class may expend up to .25% of
                          its net assets annually to reimburse OFDI for costs
