This Fund is for people who seek long-term growth
and current income by investing in undervalued
stocks of well-established companies.
How Your Fund Is Managed
Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund's basic investment strategy is to "buy low, sell
high." The Fund's managers invest in stocks they believe are priced below their
intrinsic value, and sell stocks when they think they're overvalued. This
strategy offers the potential for long-term capital appreciation through
investment in high quality, well-established companies.
Performance
Total return at net asset value for the six months ended 6/30/96 was 8.36% for
Class A shares, 7.95% for Class B shares, and 7.87% for Class
C shares.(1)
Your Fund's average annual total returns at maximum offering price for
Class A shares for the 1- and 5-year periods ended 6/30/96 and since inception
of the Class on 12/22/86 were 14.86%, 12.53% and 11.54%, respectively. For Class
B shares, average annual total returns for the 1-year period and since inception
of the Class on 5/1/93 were 15.96% and 13.04%, respectively. For Class C shares,
cumulative total return since inception on 10/2/95 was 13.23%.(2)
Outlook
"We believe the Fund will do well, especially in light of recent increases in
market volatility. It is precisely this type of investment environment that
creates opportunity for value investors, allowing us to buy attractive
companies at temporarily reduced prices, while at the same time selling stocks
that have reached our target price."

Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions. 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. For more complete information, please review the
prospectus carefully before you invest.
1. Based on the change in net asset value per share for the period shown,
without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if
sales charges were taken into account.
2. Class A returns show results of hypothetical investments on 6/30/95, 6/30/91
and 12/22/86 (inception of class), after deducting the current maximum initial
sales charge of 5.75%. Prior to 3/29/91, the Fund's maximum sales charge rate
for Class A shares was lower, so that actual account results would have been
higher. Class B returns show results of hypothetical investments on 6/30/95 and
5/1/93 (inception of class), after the deduction of the applicable contingent
deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 3% (since inception). Class C shares
show results of a hypothetical investment on 10/2/95 after the 1% contingent
deferred sales charge. An explanation of the different performance calculations
is in the Fund's prospectus.

Against all odds, the stock market showed remarkable strength during the first
five months of 1996. However, in the few months that followed, the market
experienced significant volatility that resulted in a decline in the Dow of
about 7 percent.
Many experts said the stock market, having advanced to record heights in
1995 and void of any real market correction since 1990, was due for a downturn.
This was, after all, the longest bull market of the post-World War II era.
Thanks to the 10% rise in blue chip stocks during the first half of 1996 and the
early success of small stocks, the decline that occurred recently was somewhat
cushioned. While it's impossible to tell what will happen next, we are
optimistic that this turn was a correction within a bull market rather than the
onset of a bear market.
What made the market perform so well during the first part of the year? It
was another surprise: corporate profits. Between 1992 and 1995, corporate
profits of U.S. companies advanced at a double-digit rate. Investors widely
expected this year's profit tallies to be flat compared to 1995. After all, the
economy had been sluggish--growing at an annual rate of just 2.3% in the first
quarter of 1996. But corporate America continued to perform.
The reason corporate profits were so strong is that many U.S. companies
continued to successfully reduce costs. Often when a company achieves a small
increase in sales, the benefit goes straight to the bottom line. Indeed, the
U.S. Commerce Department reports indicated that corporate profits rose 15% for
the four quarters ended March 1996, while the economy grew only marginally.
Still, profits are not what they were in the early 1990s. That's why
investors are seeking out companies that can grow earnings regardless of the
fortunes of the economy. Which is just what many small companies in such
fields as technology, healthcare and specialty retailing have been doing,
growing earnings at double-digit--and even triple-digit rates. So it's not
surprising that the stocks of many of these small fast-growing companies have
been such strong performers.
The early strength of the stock market is all the more remarkable when you
consider that during the same period, interest rates moved up sharply. The yield
on the benchmark 30-year U.S. Treasury bond rose from about 6% in January to
over 7% today. Interest rates have been rising partly because investors are
concerned that the economy is growing fast enough to generate higher inflation.
However, we are watching this very closely, and would become very cautious
regarding the stock market's performance if inflation were to flare up.
As always, remember stock investments are generally meant for long-term
growth objectives, and often involve short-term volatility. So, it's critical
for investors to keep their focus on long-term goals and to put near-term
setbacks in proper prospective.
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. We look forward to helping you reach your investment goals in
the future.

Q + A James MacAllen Portfolio Manager
Q How has the Fund performed
over the past six months?
The Fund did well, though it slightly underperformed the broad market for the
period ended June 30th. The Fund's investment objective seeks long-term growth
of capital and income primarily through investments in stocks of
well-established companies while also seeking to protect its principal against
declines in the market. Because of this defensive approach, we can expect the
Fund to lag somewhat in a bull market such as the recent period. However, we are
confident over the long term that the Fund will perform well.
What investments have made
positive contributions to
performance?
We have structured a diversified portfolio of high quality companies. Our
strongest performing investments were the stocks of companies in the machinery,
electrical equipment, and retailing industries. Several of these stocks were
hurt last year when people feared an economic slowdown. As the economy has
regained its strength, many of these stocks have done well.(1)
An interview with your Fund's managers.
Were there any investments
that didn't perform as you'd
expected?
Fortunately, we didn't have many negative surprises. In fact, the biggest
surprise of all was the continued strength of the stock market, despite a rise
in interest rates. Though the strength of the market has been justified, given
the streamlined and improved operations of corporate America, we believe the
likelihood that stocks will continue to rise in the face of higher rates is
low. Our value approach to selecting investments is intended to limit an
investor's risk exposure during high-priced markets.
What areas of the market are
you currently targeting?
Recently, we've been trying to reduce the total number of holdings. We are
evaluating our smaller holdings to determine whether they should be eliminated
or increased. In addition, we're selectively adding companies we feel are
well-positioned for growth but selling at relatively low prices. For example,
we've increased our holdings in the insurance industry, where we've been able to
buy companies with strong franchises whose dividend yields are attractive and
are likely to grow. We're also adding to our energy holdings where we see profit
margins increasing due to an improved outlook for refining and natural gas.
What is your outlook for the Fund?
We believe the Fund will do well, especially in light of recent increases in
market volatility. It is precisely this type of investment environment that
creates opportunity for value investors, allowing the Fund to buy attractive
companies at temporarily reduced prices, while at the same time selling stocks
that have reached our target price. We're confident that this approach should
continue to provide superior returns over time. | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
================================================================================
1. Significant
Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund (the Fund) is a separate fund of Oppenheimer
Integrity Funds, a diversified, open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's
investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital and income primarily
through investments in stocks of well established companies. The Fund's
investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Fund offers
Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge. All three classes of shares have identical rights to earnings,
assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own distribution
and/or service 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 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
asked price 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 Trustees. 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 Trustees 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (loss) 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.

4. Management Fees and
Other Transactions
With Affiliates
Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment
advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee of 0.75% on the first
$100 million of average annual net assets with a reduction of 0.03% on each $200
million, thereafter, to 0.66% on net assets in excess of $500 million. The
Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund if aggregate expenses (with specified
exceptions) exceed the most stringent applicable regulatory limit on Fund
expenses.
The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Concert Capital
Management, Inc. (the Sub-Advisor). The Manager pays Concert Capital Management,
Inc. based on the fee schedule set forth in the Prospectus. For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, the Manager paid $221,555 to the Sub-Advisor.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, commissions (sales charges paid by
investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $182,380, of which $109,693 was
retained by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the
Manager, as general distributor, and by an affiliated broker/dealer. Sales
charges advanced to broker/dealers by OFDI on sales of the Fund's Class B and
Class C shares totaled $222,894 and $6,401, of which $40,637 and $1,398,
respectively, was paid to an affiliated broker/dealer. During the six months
ended June 30, 1996, OFDI received contingent deferred sales charges of $20,273
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 ended June 30, 1996, OFDI paid $107,326 to an
affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class A personal service and
maintenance expenses.

4. Management Fees and
Other Transactions
With Affiliates
(continued)
The Fund has adopted a reimbursement type Distribution and Service Plan for
Class B shares to reimburse OFDI for its services and costs in distributing
Class B shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plan, the Fund pays OFDI an
annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B shares that are
outstanding for 6 years or less. OFDI also receives a service fee of 0.25% per
year to reimburse dealers for providing personal services for accounts that hold
Class B shares. Both fees are computed on the average annual net assets of Class
B shares, determined as of the close of each regular business day. If the Plan
is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue
payments of the asset-based sales charge to OFDI for certain expenses it
incurred before the Plan was terminated. During the six months ended June 30,
1996, OFDI paid $4,823 to an affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class
B personal service and maintenance expenses and retained $129,277 as
reimbursement for Class B sales commissions and service fee advances, as well as
financing costs. As of June 30, 1996, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of
$919,534 for Class B.

Class C shares to compensate OFDI for its services and costs in distributing

annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class C shares. OFDI also
receives a service fee of 0.25% per year to compensate dealers for providing
personal services for accounts that hold Class C shares. Both fees are computed
on the average annual net assets of Class C shares, determined as of the close
of each regular business day. If the Plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board
of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales
charge to OFDI for certain expenses it incurred before the Plan was terminated.

for Class C sales commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing
