HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED
Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund invests in a portfolio with a
range of California municipal bonds. As a Fund shareholder, you receive income
that is free from federal and California income taxes.1 Your dividends don't
increase your taxable income the way taxable investments do, so you can keep
more of what you earn.
PERFORMANCE
Cumulative total returns for the six months ended 2/28/97 were 5.54% for Class
A shares and 5.10% for Class B shares, without deducting sales charges.(2)
Your Fund's average annual total returns for Class A shares for the 1-
and 5-year periods ended 3/31/97 and since inception on 5/18/90 were 1.11%,
6.20% and 7.05%, respectively. For Class B shares, average annual total returns
for the 1-year period ended 3/31/97 and since inception on 10/29/93 were 0.08%
and 2.81%, respectively.(3)
OUTLOOK
"We remain optimistic and, given current market conditions, we believe that
municipal bond investments offer a good value."
Jerry Webman, Portfolio Manager
February 28, 1997
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. For more complete
information, please review the prospectus carefully before you invest.
1. A portion of the distributions paid by the Fund may be subject to federal
and state income taxes. For investors subject to federal and/or state
alternative minimum tax (AMT), the Fund's distributions may increase this tax.
Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxed as capital gains.
2. Include 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.
3. Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.
Class B returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and
3% (since inception). An explanation of the different performance calculations
is in the Fund's prospectus. Class B shares are subject to an annual 0.75%
asset-based sales charge.
4. Standardized yield is based on net investment income calculated for the
30-day period ended 2/28/97. Falling net asset values will tend to artificially
raise yields.
5. Source: Morningstar Mutual Funds, 3/31/97. Morningstar, Inc., ranks mutual
funds in broad investment classes, based on risk-adjusted returns after
considering sales charges and expenses. Return and risk are measured as
performance above and below 90-day U.S. Treasury bill returns, respectively.
Current star rankings are based on the weighted average of 3-, 5- and 10-year
(if applicable) rankings for a fund or class and are subject to change monthly.
Top 10%: 5 stars. Next 22.5%: 4 stars. Middle 35%: 3 stars. Next 22.5%: 2
stars. Bottom 10%: 1 star. The Fund is ranked 4 stars (3-years), 4 stars
(5-years), weighted 40% and 60%, respectively, and 3 stars (1-year) among 1,751
funds.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
It's true that the stock market of 1996 received virtually all the recognition
this past year. While excitement during the second half of the year revolved
around equities, the bond market was experiencing a quiet, yet solid, rebound.
Some analysts anticipated that moderated economic growth and low
inflation would help stabilize interest rates, and even lower them--all factors
that would be beneficial for the bond market. During the second half of 1996,
that's exactly how events unfolded. In October, when the economy was
characterized by a firm dollar, low inflation and slow growth, the Federal
Reserve responded by maintaining its hands-off approach to interest rates. It
appeared that earlier concerns about rapid inflationary growth had been
overblown, and interest rates declined soon afterward. With continued,
sustainable, non-inflationary growth of around 2% to 2.5%, and no interest rate
raises expected from the Federal Reserve, the economy seemed to have settled
into a comfortable pattern of neither too little nor too much growth.
Moving ahead to 1997, President Clinton has pledged to focus on
balancing the federal budget during his second term. In fact, politicians from
every camp are discussing their intent to reduce the budget, perhaps through a
balanced budget amendment. Such a move should prove beneficial for the
municipal bond market. The other good news for municipal bond investors is that
President Clinton has no plans of initiating a flat tax, a proposal that would
have eliminated the tax advantages of municipal bonds.
On the other hand, investors may have experienced some volatility in
the income stream from municipal bond funds. This is primarily because the
availability of quality bonds paying high dividends has decreased over the past
few years, making it more difficult to find value bonds. However, we believe
that over the long term and on a tax-adjusted basis, our funds will continue to
offer value with the potential for higher total return.
When you consider the combination of these developments last year--a
sustained economic growth pattern, the assurance of a balanced federal budget
and the dissipated threat of a flat tax--the tax advantages of municipal bond
investing become much more attractive.
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 WHAT AREAS ARE YOU CURRENTLY TARGETING?
Q & A
[PHOTO]
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS.
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
Our performance has been relatively strong. We attribute Oppenheimer Main
Street California Municipal Fund's success to our strategy of mixing
higher-yielding investment-grade municipal bonds with futures contracts that
act as a hedge against rising interest rates. As a result of this mixture,
Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund finished 14th out of 99
California municipal debt funds ranked by Lipper for the 1-year period ended
3/31/97.(1) This ranking placed the Fund in the first quartile of its peer group
for that period.
[PHOTO]
WHAT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES MADE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERFORMANCE?
Our concentration on high coupon municipal bonds worked well for us throughout
the period and provided the Fund with a steady income stream. In the second
quarter of 1996, we bought some attractive higher-yielding bonds in land
development and healthcare that enabled the Fund to capture some unusually high
income. When the market began to rally in the second half of 1996, these bonds
were in demand, and we were able to benefit. Because higher-yielding bonds
often have a lower rating or are unrated, they require careful analysis of the
risk of default.
[PHOTO]
In the second quarter, we also bought some discount and zero coupon
bonds that were out of favor. We reduced their volatility risk by hedging them
with combinations of futures contracts. When the bond market rallied in the
fall, these purchases worked out very well for us.
We have trimmed our position in prerefunded bonds. These bonds tend to
perform well because they have virtually no credit risk and have

a shorter known call date, usually five to six years. However, when the market
is rallying, as it did during the second half of 1996, these bonds are poor
performers. And finally, we were able to benefit from securities that had less
desirable credit but have improved over the period. Examples include an energy
generating plant in Sacramento and the holders of some leases on downtown Los
Angeles parking facilities.(2)
DID ANY INVESTMENTS PERFORM POORLY?
In the last six months, as interest rates have fallen, prerefunded bonds have
not performed as well as discount and zero coupon bonds. Fortunately, we
correctly anticipated the fourth quarter decline in interest rates and offset
our prerefunded bond exposure with long positions in Treasury futures that gave
the portfolio a boost when the market rallied.
WHAT AREAS ARE YOU CURRENTLY TARGETING?
We believe California development districts and infrastructure financing
projects will offer some interesting opportunities during 1997. We plan to
seek those opportunities in economically strong parts of the state where the
business growth and demographic growth seem appropriate. We're looking at the
Southern California area, in Orange County, where despite fiscal problems a few
years ago, the economics continue to appear very favorable.
[PHOTO]
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We continue to maintain a positive outlook. Currently, long-term interest rates
are attractive since there doesn't appear to be any real inflation on the
horizon, and we are continuing to see steady, moderate economic growth in the
U.S. and weak growth abroad. We will remain alert to significant changes in
these favorable conditions. In the meantime, we remain optimistic and, given
current market conditions, we believe that municipal bond investments offer a
good value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund (the Fund) is a
separate series of Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc., an open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek as
high a level of current income which is exempt from Federal and
California personal income taxes for individual investors as is
available from municipal securities and consistent with preservation of
capital. The Fund's investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
Manager). The Fund offers 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 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 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The Fund intends to declare dividends
separately for Class A and Class B shares from net investment income
each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and pay such
dividends monthly. Distributions from net realized gains on investments,
if any, will be declared at least once each year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Net investment income
(loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement
and tax purposes primarily because of premium amortization for 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.
15 Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund
<PAGE> 16
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the
investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Original issue discount
on securities purchased is amortized over the life of the respective
securities, in accordance with federal income tax requirements. For
bonds acquired after April 30, 1993, on disposition or maturity, taxable
ordinary income is recognized to the extent of the lesser of gain or
market discount that would have accrued over the holding period.
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 Fund concentrates
its investments in California and, therefore, may have more credit risks
related to the economic conditions of California than a portfolio with a
broader geographical diversification.
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. CAPITAL STOCK
The Fund has authorized 16,250,000 shares of $.01 par value capital
stock of each class. Transactions in shares of capital stock were as

3. UNREALIZED GAINS AND
LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS
At February 28, 1997, net unrealized appreciation on investments of
$1,784,128 was composed of gross appreciation of $2,919,222, and gross
depreciation of $1,135,094.
================================================================================
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
0.55% of average annual net assets, with a contractual waiver when net
assets are less than $100 million. Annual fees, reflecting this waiver,
are 0.40% of net assets of $75 million or more but less than $100
million, 0.25% of net assets of $50 million or more but less than $75
million, 0.15% of net assets of $25 million or more but less than $50
million, and 0% of net assets less than $25 million. The Manager has
agreed to assume Fund expenses (with specified exceptions) in excess of
the regulatory limitation of the state of California.
For the six months ended February 28, 1997,
commissions (sales charges paid by investors) on sales of Class A shares
totaled $87,961, of which $21,437 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 shares totaled
$60,951. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, OFDI received
contingent deferred sales charges of $1,404 upon redemption of Class B
shares.

<PAGE> 17
================================================================================
4. MANAGEMENT FEES
AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
WITH AFFILIATES
(CONTINUED)
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 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. 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. During the six months ended February
28, 1997, OFDI retained $29,511 as reimbursement for Class B sales
commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. If the
Plan is 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 Plan was terminated. As of
February 28, 1997, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of $253,980
for Class B.
================================================================================
5. FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Fund may buy and sell interest rate futures contracts in order to
gain exposure to or protect against changes in interest rates. The Fund
may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
The Fund generally sells futures contracts to
hedge against increases in interest rates and the resulting negative
effect on the value of fixed rate portfolio securities. The Fund may
also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in interest
rates as it may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying
fixed income securities.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund
is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial
margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent
payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day.
The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the
contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund
recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or
expires.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to
cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in
the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities
reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for
variation margin.
Risks of entering into futures contracts (and
related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid
market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not
correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
At February 28, 1997, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to buy
and sell debt securities as follows:
