BRIDGET A. MACASKILL
PRESIDENT
OPPENHEIMER
WORLD BOND FUND

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

Over the past several decades, our investment teams have learned the importance
of avoiding complacency when it comes to navigating the financial
markets--especially when times are good. Right now, times appear particularly
good. The U.S. economy is in its tenth year of expansion. In the bond market,
U.S. Treasury issues have been performing favorably over the past year. In
addition, despite volatility in the second quarter, the stock market has been
providing attractive returns from a wide spectrum of industry sectors,
capitalization ranges and investment styles.

       We have arrived at this juncture after months of monitoring the rapid
pace of global economic growth and its implications for inflation, as well as
the Federal Reserve Board's evolving monetary policy. At this point, economic
indicators suggest a dampening of short-term inflationary pressures. While
recent increases in oil prices are certainly taking their toll, we don't believe
this signals a return to 1970's-style inflation. Accordingly, if the Fed
continues in its diligence, the economy could maintain its healthy rate of
growth.

       In the bond market, the achievement of a federal budget surplus has
prompted the Treasury to buy back many of its long-term securities. The
resulting supply shortage boosted these securities' returns, causing an
inversion of the yield curve-- an unusual situation in which shorter term
Treasuries yield more than their longer term counterparts. Other bond sectors
are offering many opportunities in the form of attractive valuations.

       Perhaps most important is that we have begun to see encouraging signs in
the stock market. Formerly high-flying Internet stocks have generally come down
to earth, and investors have begun to refocus on companies with strong business
fundamentals and justifiable valuations. Investors have also returned to
long-neglected, value-oriented companies.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       What else do these various trends tell us? They tell us that the ability
to discriminate between long-term potential and short-lived fads has become more
critical than ever. Trying to generate good long-term performance requires
tracking the best companies through intensive research, combined with
hard-earned experience.

       At OppenheimerFunds, our seasoned portfolio management teams fight
complacency by remaining constantly aware of the risks that face the economy and
financial markets. Virtually anything could affect the overall markets--a surge
in inflation, a decline in productivity, deteriorating corporate earnings, or
even the new Administration's proposals regarding tax reform, healthcare and
Social Security. However, by remaining vigilant in our quest for fundamentally
sound businesses, we believe we can find good investments that can weather
market volatility.

       In this environment, we encourage you to consult your financial advisor
and to stay on track with your long-term financial plan. For our part, we will
continue to monitor the opportunities and risks ever present in the financial
markets. Thank you for your confidence in OppenheimerFunds, The Right Way to
Invest.

Sincerely,

/s/ BRIDGET A. MACASKILL

Q. HOW DID OPPENHEIMER WORLD BOND FUND PERFORM OVER THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD THAT
ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000?

A. In light of mixed conditions in the world's various bond markets, we are
generally pleased with the Fund's performance over the past 12 months. The areas
that contributed positively to the Fund were the emerging markets, especially
bonds issued by countries in Eastern Europe and Latin America. By contrast,
areas that contributed negatively to the Fund's performance included bonds from
most developed nations, including corporate bonds in the United States and
Europe. These particular bonds lagged because of concerns related to potential
inflationary pressures and rising interest rates.(1)

WHY DID THE EMERGING MARKETS OUTPERFORM THE DEVELOPED MARKETS OVER THE PAST
YEAR?

The emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe began the
reporting period in the midst of a recovery from their lows of 1998, when the
global credit and currency crisis hit their fixed-income markets particularly
hard. That recovery continued into 2000 as more developing nations adopted
long-awaited market reforms and solidified their economic foundations. In
contrast, most developed markets began the period enjoying strong economic
growth characterized by productivity improvements and low inflation. Many of
these factors were already reflected in their bond markets when the fiscal year
began. However, when robust growth later threatened to rekindle long-dormant
inflationary pressures, their bond markets declined from relatively high levels.

1. Investing in foreign bonds, especially in emerging markets, entails higher
expenses and risks, such as foreign currency fluctuations. Investing in high
yield junk bonds carries greater risk of volatility and default. Please see the
prospectus for more information on the risks of investing in the Fund.

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The strong U.S. economy has allowed export-oriented industries to drive strong
rebounds in the world's developing economies."

       In addition, as its economy has slowed, the U.S. market has recently
experienced a deterioration of corporate credit quality. Default rates have
risen, as has the number of companies receiving credit-rating downgrades from
the major bond rating agencies.

WHY IS U.S. CREDIT QUALITY DETERIORATING DURING A TIME OF POSITIVE ECONOMIC
GROWTH?

There are two primary reasons for this phenomenon. First, although consumer
spending has remained strong, many U.S. businesses have not been able to raise
prices to offset higher costs for raw materials. Second, many U.S. companies are
encountering greater difficulty obtaining financing as lenders have become more
cautious in a slower economy. Fortunately, we have recently focused primarily on
industries that tend not to come to the market for refinancing on a regular
basis.

HOW HAVE THE FUND'S U.S. GOVERNMENT HOLDINGS FARED?

U.S. Government bonds have been one of the bright spots in the world bond
markets over the past year. This is especially true of long-term U.S. Treasury
bonds, which have benefited from a federal budget surplus. This is primarily
because the government has been using a portion of the budget surplus to buy
back higher-yielding, seasoned bonds, thereby reducing the available supply of
government-guaranteed securities. At the same time, U.S. Treasury bonds have
remained in demand by domestic and foreign investors seeking a haven for their
assets. As a result, prices of these bonds have remained relatively high.

       Our holdings of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government
agencies have also provided positive returns, although not nearly as attractive
as those produced by U.S. Treasury securities. Mortgage-backed securities'
yields have generally been stable over the past 12 months, as a reduction in
pre-payment risk--the tendency of homeowners to refinance or repay their
mortgages early--for the most part offset the effects of higher interest rates.

HOW WAS THE FUND MANAGED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?

We have generally reduced our exposure to bonds denominated in the euro, and we
have increased our exposure to the emerging markets. The former strategy was
designed to limit our exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates that affect
the euro, the new currency of the European Monetary Union. We effected these
changes in the portfolio primarily in response to lackluster economic growth in
Europe, as well as to an imbalance in capital flows: European investors have
been investing in U.S. markets to a much greater extent than U.S. investors have
been investing in European markets.

       As for our increased allocation to the emerging markets, we have focused
primarily on oil-producing nations, such as Russia, Venezuela and Mexico. We
believe these nations may benefit from the high price of oil.

WHERE ARE YOU CURRENTLY FINDING ATTRACTIVE OPPORTUNITIES?

In our opinion, Russia, which continues to benefit from the restructuring of the
debt of the former Soviet Union, offers some attractive opportunities. The
restructuring has reduced Russia's sovereign debt considerably, to the extent
that the country may soon be in a position to begin repaying its debt.
Accordingly, we carefully select opportunities for investment.

It is important to understand that we manage the Fund for the long term, not

continue to evaluate the Fund's assets that are allocated among the various
regions and sectors of the world's bond markets. Indeed, we believe that
participating in such a broad world of opportunity is part of what makes
OppenheimerFunds The Right Way to Invest.

FUND PERFORMANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. of
the Fund's performance during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, followed
by a graphical comparison of the Fund's performance to an appropriate
broad-based market index.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE. During the fiscal year that ended
October 31, 2000, Oppenheimer World Bond Fund's performance was influenced by
changes in economic and market conditions worldwide. The Fund's returns were
driven primarily by rising bond prices in the emerging markets of Latin America
and Eastern Europe, which have benefited from, among other factors, exports to a
strong U.S. economy. In contrast, the Fund's returns were constrained by
weakness in bonds from most developed nations including U.S. and European
corporate bonds. These types of bonds declined because of concerns related to
potential inflationary pressures and rising interest rates. The Fund's portfolio
holdings, allocations and investment style are subject to change.

COMPARING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE TO THE MARKET. The graphs that follow show the
performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the
Fund held until October 31, 2000. In the case of Class A shares, performance is
measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Class B and Class C shares,
performance is measured from inception of those classes on April 27, 1998. The
Fund's performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on
Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B and
Class C shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains
distributions.

       The Fund's performance is compared to that of Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index. This Index is an inclusive index of institutionally
traded bonds, including fixed-rate bonds, with a remaining maturity of one year
longer with amounts outstanding of at least the equivalent of $25 million
dollars. Floating- or variable-rate bonds and private placement-type securities
are not included. The Index is designed to measure the total return performance
of the domestic and foreign government bond markets.

       Index performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends but does not
consider the effect of capital gains or transaction costs, and none of the data
in the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund's performance reflects the
effects of Fund business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be
useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund's performance, it must be noted that
the Fund's investments are not limited to the securities in the index.

NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. BECAUSE OF ONGOING
MARKET VOLATILITY, THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL
SHORT-TERM FLUCTUATIONS AND CURRENT PERFORMANCE MAY BE LESS THAN THE RESULTS
SHOWN. FOR QUARTERLY UPDATES ON THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR
FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CALL US AT 1.800.525.7048 OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT
WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM.

Total returns and the ending account values in the graphs include changes in
share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a
hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund's total returns shown do
not show the effects of income taxes on an individual's investment. Taxes may
reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any
gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

1. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically
decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities
increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the
underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is
calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes
in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example,
GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based
upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash
flows.
2. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 8 of
Notes to Financial Statements.
3. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate
security.
4. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have
been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees. These securities amount to $627,840 or 1.34% of the Fund's net assets
as of October 31, 2000.
5. Zero coupon bonds reflects the effective yield on the date of purchase.
6. Securities with an aggregate market value of $492,149 are held in
collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
sales contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.
7. A sufficient amount of securities has been designated to cover outstanding
foreign currency contracts. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.
8. Issuer is in default.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

===============================================================================
 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Oppenheimer World Bond Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment
 Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
 company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek total return. 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 at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a
 front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a
 front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales
 charge (CDSC). All classes of shares have identical rights to earnings,
 assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own expenses
 directly attributable to that class and exclusive voting rights with respect
 to matters affecting that class. Classes A, B and C have separate
 distribution and/or service plans. 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SECURITIES VALUATION. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges
 or other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale
 price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the
 Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at
 the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of
 the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price.
 Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not
 readily available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a
 portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their
 fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied
 procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money
 market type" debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
 are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 STRUCTURED NOTES. The Fund invests in foreign currency-linked structured
 notes whose market value and redemption price are linked to foreign currency
 exchange rates. The structured notes are leveraged, which increases the
 notes' volatility relative to the principal of the security. Fluctuations in
 value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the
 accompanying financial statements. As of October 31, 2000, the market value
 of these securities comprised 7.3% of the Fund's net assets and resulted in
 unrealized losses in the current period of $33,790. The Fund also hedges a
 portion of the foreign currency exposure generated by these securities, as
 discussed in Note 5.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SECURITY CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in high yield securities, which may be
 subject to a greater degree of credit risk, greater market fluctuations and
 risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic
 conditions than lower yielding, higher rated fixed income securities. The
 Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of
 securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of October 31, 2000,
 securities with an aggregate market value of $119,306, representing 0.25% of
 the Fund's net assets, were in default.

===============================================================================
 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Continued

 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 foreign securities and investment
 income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective
 dates of such transactions.

   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 Statement 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. 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, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other
 than those attributable to a specific class), 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.

   As of October 31, 2000, the Fund had available for federal income tax
 purposes an unused capital loss carryover as follows:

</TABLE>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for
 the Fund's independent Board of Trustees. Benefits are based on years of
 service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the
 year ended October 31, 2000, a credit of $11,547 was made for the Fund's
 projected benefit obligations and payments of $2,592 were made to retired
 trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $73,129 as of October 31,
 2000.

                       28  OPPENHEIMER WORLD BOND FUND

<PAGE>   31


 The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for
 independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all
 or a portion of annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the
 Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred is periodically adjusted as
 though an equivalent amount had been invested for the Board of Trustees in
 shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the trustee. The amount
 paid to the Board of Trustees under the plan will be determined based upon
 the performance of the selected funds. Deferral of trustees' fees under the
 plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially
 affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to
 shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
 are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CLASSIFICATION OF DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Net investment
 income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement
 and tax purposes primarily because of the recognition of certain foreign
 currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The
 character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net
 investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate
 characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of
 dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed
 may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was
 recorded by the Fund.

   The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to
 reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions
 determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the
 year ended October 31, 2000, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a
 decrease in paid-in capital of $1,784,583, a decrease in undistributed net
 investment income of $444,132, and a decrease in accumulated net realized
 loss on investments of $2,228,715. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by
 the reclassifications. As noted in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets,
 the Fund realized a tax return of capital of $1,480,831.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction
 of custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date and
 dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discount on securities
 purchased is accreted over the life of the respective securities, in
 accordance with federal income tax requirements. Realized gains and losses on
 investments and options written and unrealized appreciation and depreciation
 are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for
 federal income tax purposes. Dividends-in-kind are recognized as income on
 the ex-dividend date, at the current market value of the underlying security.
 Interest on payment-in-kind debt instruments is accrued as income at the
 coupon rate and a market adjustment is made periodically.

===============================================================================
 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Continued

   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. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

 The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $.01 par value shares of
 beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial
 interest for the year ended October 31, 2000, were as follows:

</TABLE>

   The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and
 Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares under Rule 12b-1 of the
 Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pays the Distributor for
 all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution
 and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CLASS A SERVICE PLAN FEES. Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor
 currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and
 other financial institutions. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements
 to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of
 Class A shares purchased. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients
 quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual net
 assets consisting of Class A shares of the Fund. For the year ended October
 31, 2000, payments under the Class A plan totaled $72,473 prior to Manager
 waiver if applicable, all of which were paid by the Distributor to
 recipients, and included $1,448 paid to an

 affiliate of the Manager. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs
 with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in
 subsequent years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CLASS B AND CLASS C DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN FEES. Under each plan,
 service fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of the net
 asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of
 each regular business day during the period. The Class B and Class C plans
 provide for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the
 Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by
 the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid.

   The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B shares. The
 Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the
 first year the shares are outstanding. The asset-based sales charges on Class
 B and Class C shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales
 charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those
 shares.

   The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B and Class C shares may
 be more than the payments it receives from the contingent deferred sales
 charges collected on redeemed shares and asset-based sales charges from the
 Fund under the plans. If any plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of
 Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales
 charge to the Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was
 terminated. The plans allow for the carryforward of distribution expenses, to
 be recovered from asset-based sales charges in subsequent fiscal periods.

 Distribution fees paid to the Distributor for the year ended October 31,
 2000, were as follows:

 5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

 A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
 currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into
 foreign currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect
 against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the
 potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

   The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
 commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
 depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided
 by a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and
 depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of
 Assets and Liabilities.

 The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the
 foreign currency transactions. Realized gains and losses are reported with
 all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations.

   Securities denominated in foreign currency to cover net exposure on
 outstanding foreign currency contracts are noted in the Statement of
 Investments where applicable.

 As of October 31, 2000, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as

 6. FUTURES CONTRACTS

 A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
 commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated
 future date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a
 commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate
 to broadly-based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities
 "interest rate futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect
 against changes in market value of stock and bonds or 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 decreases in market value of 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 (initial margin) in an amount 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
 and/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

 7. OPTION ACTIVITY
 The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call
 options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or
 protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.

   The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to
 hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an
 option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell
 or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the
 option.

   Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal
 exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or
 depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the
 expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised,
 the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a
 written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call
 option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

   Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the
 Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration
 date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a
 note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a
 liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and
 losses are reported in the Statement of Operations.

   The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity
 for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is
 exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss
 if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised.
 The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not
 the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being
 able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does
 not exist.

 8. ILLIQUID SECURITIES

 As of October 31, 2000, investments in securities included issues that are
 illiquid. 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 periodically) in illiquid
 securities. The aggregate value of illiquid securities subject to this
 limitation as of October 31, 2000, was $2,288,574, which represents 4.87% of
 the Fund's net assets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 9. BANK BORROWINGS

 The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes
 including, without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided
 asset coverage for borrowings exceeds 300%. The Fund has entered into an
 agreement which enables it to participate with other Oppenheimer funds in an
 unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400
 million, collectively. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its
 borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.45%. Borrowings
 are payable 30 days after such loan is executed. The Fund also pays a
 commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the average unutilized amount
 of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.

   The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the year ended or at October
 31, 2000.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 10. OTHER MATTERS

 On April 13, 2000, the Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of
 Oppenheimer World Bond Fund with and into Oppenheimer International Bond Fund.
 Shareholders of Oppenheimer World Bond Fund will be asked to approve a
 reorganization whereby shareholders would receive shares of Oppenheimer
 International Bond Fund. If shareholder approval is received, it is expected
 that the reorganization will occur during the first quarter of calendar 2001.

 in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial
 highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
 responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
 financial highlights based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
 accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we
 plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
 financial statements and financial highlights are free of material
 misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2000,
 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; and where confirmations
 were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 and financial highlights referred
 to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
 Oppenheimer World Bond Fund as of October 31, 2000, the results of its
 operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
 the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for
 each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with
 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
