We have audited the accompanying statements of condition, including the

responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our

correspondence with the custodian. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets of Oppenheimer Zero Coupon U.S.

- -------------------------
+ The Indenture was signed and the initial deposit was made as of April 21, 1987.
* The aggregate offering side evaluation of the obligations is determined by the Evaluator on the basis of current offering
prices for the obligations.
** The transaction charges currently applicable to the 1997 Series and the 2007 Series, are .75% and 1.75% of their
respective Offering Prices per 1,000 Units (.756% and 1.781%, respectively, of the net amount invested in Securities).
*** These figures are computed by dividing the aggregate offering side evaluation of the underlying Securities in the
particular Series (the price at which they could be purchased directly by the public if they were available) by the
number of Units of the Series outstanding, multiplying the result times 1,000 and adding the applicable transaction
charge as described in the preceding footnote. These figures assume a purchase of 1,000 Units. The price of a
single Unit, or any multiple thereof, is calculated by dividing the Offering Price per 1,000 Units above by 1,000 and
multiplying by the number of Units.
**** Figures shown are $7.46 and $9.60 less then the Offering Price per 1,000 Units and $1.18 and $2.13 less than the
Sponsor's Repurchase Price per 1,000 Units, with respect to the 1997 Series and the 2007 Series respectively.
