THIS FUND IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT THE KIND OF SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH AVAILABLE
THROUGH FAST-GROWING SMALL COMPANIES.

HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED

Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing
in stocks of small-cap companies that are believed to be priced below their
true worth. By identify-ing and investing in small company stocks believed to
be priced below their actual worth, the Fund seeks to capitalize on the
attractive growth potential of these stocks. This value philosophy offers the
potential for significant long-term growth.

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. The Fund's
Sub-Adviser is OpCap Advisors (formerly Quest for Value Advisors, the Fund's
adviser until 11/22/95).

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%.
The Fund's maximum sales charge rate for Class A shares was lower prior to
11/22/95, so actual results would have been greater. Class B returns include
the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 3% (since
inception). Class C returns include the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for
the 1-year result. An explanation of the different total returns is in the
Fund's prospectus. Class B and C shares are subject to an annual 0.75%
asset-based sales charge and Class A shares are subject to an annual 0.25%
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 HAS THE FUND PERFORMED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?

Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund performed well over the period,
especially considering the difficult mar-ket environment for small-cap stocks.
In fact, for the six-month period ended April 30, 1997, cumulative total return
without deducting sales charges for the Fund's Class A shares was 7.14%,
compared to 1.61% for its bench-mark, the Russell 2000 Index.(1)

WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO YOU LOOK FOR WHEN EVALUATING STOCKS?

In this fund, we look for companies that have three basic traits. First, the
businesses we select must have a competitive advantage versus other com-panies
within their industry, a benefit that will allow them to maintain a high return
on invested capital. Second, we look for companies with strong management teams
who are focused on using capital in a manner that provides long-term benefits
to shareholders, such as increasing production efficiencies, and buying back
stock. And third, we look to purchase the stocks of these companies at
advantageous prices.

WHAT INVESTMENTS MADE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERFORMANCE?

In general, small-cap value stocks reacted better in the recent market
environment than small-cap growth stocks. That's primarily because after the
small-cap market's dramatic decline in July, many investors renewed their focus
on inexpensive companies with strong fundamentals at reasonable valuations.

         One of our largest holdings, Magellan Health Services, performed very
well during this period. As the largest provider of behavioral health services
in the United States, it improved access to psychiatric services by
implementing a managed-care approach.  In addition, its strong cash flow
allowed the company to buy back stock and complete a successful acquisition.(2)

WERE THERE ANY INVESTMENTS THAT DIDN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS EXPECTED?

One of the Fund's underperformers was Katz Media Group, a firm that represents
local radio and television stations to national advertisers seeking airtime in
local markets. The company wasn't able to attract a sufficient volume of
business this year as its client base was reduced by the mergers of many local
stations. These larger, newly merged companies began representing themselves to
national advertisers, further limiting this market.

         Nu-Kote Holding, a manufacturer of cartridges for computer printers
and copiers, was another disappointment for the portfolio. Manufacturing
problems, patent issues and increased competition in this area all affected
earnings.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Our outlook for the Fund is positive. While the small-cap market has
underperformed large caps for about three years, the valuation spreads between
small- and large-cap stocks are now closer to historical lows than highs. This
fact makes us confident that small caps are reasonably priced compared with the
broader market. Nevertheless, whatever direction the market takes, we will
continue to uncover stocks of businesses that we believe are priced at good
values and have strong prospects for the future.

1. The Fund's investments are not limited to securities in the Russell 2000,
which cannot be purchased directly by investors.  The Russell 2000 Index is a
capitalization-weighted index of 2,000 U.S. issuers with market values ranging
from $25 million to $275 million.

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

1. SIGNIFICANT
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund (the Fund), a series of
         Oppenheimer Quest for Value Funds, is 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
         capital appreciation. It is the intention of the Fund to invest in a
         diversified portfolio which under normal conditions will have at least
         65% of its assets invested in equity securities of companies with
         market capitalizations under $1 billion. The Fund's investment adviser
         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 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.  

         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         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

         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.

1. SIGNIFICANT
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   (CONTINUED)
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         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 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. Interest income is accrued on a daily
         basis. 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.

   BENEFICIAL INTEREST

================================================================================
3. UNREALIZED GAINS AND
   LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS
       At April 30, 1997, net unrealized appreciation on investments of
       $7,318,742 was composed of gross appreciation of $16,168,910, and gross
       depreciation of $8,850,168.

================================================================================
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
       1.00% of the first $400 million of average annual net assets, 0.90% of
       the next $400 million, and 0.85% of average annual net assets over $800
       million. The Manager acts as the accounting agent for the Fund at an
       annual fee of $55,000, plus out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably
       incurred.

                 The Manager pays OpCap Advisors (the Sub-Adviser) based on the
       fee schedule set forth in the Prospectus. For the six months ended April
       30, 1997, the Manager paid $311,823 to the Sub-Adviser. On February 13,
       1997 PIMCO Advisors L.P., signed a definitive agreement with Oppenheimer
       Group, Inc. and its subsidiary Oppenheimer Financial Corp. for PIMCO
       Advisors L.P. and its affiliate, Thomson Advisory Group, Inc., to
       acquire the one-third managing general partner interest in Oppenheimer
       Capital (the parent of OpCap Advisors) and the 1.0% general interest in
       Oppenheimer Capital L.P.

                 For the six months ended April 30, 1997, commissions (sales
       charges paid by investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $219,650,
       of which $88,278 was retained by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.
       (OFDI), a subsidiary of the Manager, as general distributor, and by
       affiliated broker/dealers. Sales charges advanced to broker/dealers by
       OFDI on sales of the Fund's Class B and Class C shares totaled $280,200
       and $28,983, of which $18,682 and $1,191, respectively, were paid to an
       affiliated broker/dealer. During the six months ended April 30, 1997,
       OFDI received contingent deferred sales charges of $37,115 and $2,184,
       respectively, upon redemption of Class B and Class C 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. The Fund pays OFS an annual maintenance
       fee of $14.85 for each Fund shareholder account and reimburses OFS for
       its out-of-pocket expenses. During the six months ended April 30, 1997,
       the Fund paid OFS $92,190.

                 Under a proposed Distribution and Service Plan for Class A
       shares (that was approved by the Board of Trustees at a meeting held
       February 4, 1997 and by the shareholders of the Fund at a meeting held
       May 19, 1997) OFDI is compensated for a portion of its costs incurred in
       connection with the personal service and maintenance of accounts that
       hold Class A shares.  Under the Plan, the Fund pays an annual
       asset-based sales charge to OFDI of 0.25% per year on Class A shares.
       The Fund also pays a service fee to OFDI of 0.25% per year. Both fees
       are computed on the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the
       Fund, determined as of the close of each regular business day. OFDI uses
       all of the service fee and a portion of the asset-based sales charge to
       compensate brokers, dealers, banks and other financial institutions
       quarterly for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of
       their customers that hold Class A shares. OFDI retains the balance of
       the asset-based sales charge to reimburse itself for its other
       expenditures under the Plan. During the six months ended April 30, 1997,
       OFDI paid $53,445 to an affiliated broker/dealer as compensation for
       Class A personal service and maintenance expenses and retained $51,924
       as compensation for Class A sales commissions and service fee advances,
       as well as financing costs.

                 Under proposed Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and
       C shares (that were approved by the Board of Trustees at a meeting held
       February 4, 1997 and by the shareholders of the Fund at a meeting held
       May 19, 1997) OFDI is compensated 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. If the Plans are 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 Plans were terminated. 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 paid
       $5,805 and $9,460, respectively, to an affiliated broker/dealer as
       compensation for Class B and Class C personal service and maintenance
       expenses and retained $147,177 and $32,782, respectively, as
       compensation for Class B and Class C sales commissions and service fee
       advances, as well as financing costs. At April 30, 1997, OFDI had
       incurred unreimbursed expenses of $238,731 for Class B and $51,130 for
       Class C.

5. ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED
   SECURITIES
       At April 30, 1997, investments in securities included issues that are
       illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in
       private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities
       Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued
       under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair
       value. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a
       readily-available market or if its valuation has not changed for a
       certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than 10% of
       its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed from
       time to time) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted
       securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors,
       are not subject to that limit. The aggregate value of illiquid or
       restricted securities subject to this limitation at April 30, 1997 was
       $3,875,913, which represents 2.36% of the Fund's net assets. Information
       concerning restricted securities is as follows:
