This Fund is for FLORIDA  residents  who need an  investment that's EXEMPT from
current INCOME TAXES.

HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED
Oppenheimer Florida Municipal Fund invests in a diversified  portfolio of 
Florida municipal bonds. As a Fund  shareholder,  you receive income that is
free from federal taxes and the benefit of owning an investment whose shares are
exempt from Florida intangible  personal property 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 1/31/97 were 3.99% for Class 
A shares, 3.51% for Class B shares and 3.46% for Class C shares, without 
deducting sales charges.(2)         

Your Fund's average annual total returns for Class A shares for the 1-year 
period ended 12/31/96 and since inception on 10/1/93 were (.93)% and 3.64%, 
respectively. For Class B shares, average annual total returns for the 1-year
period ended 12/31/96 and since inception on 10/1/93 were (1.69)% and 3.63%,
respectively. For Class C shares, average annual total returns for the 1-year
period ended 12/31/96 and since inception on 8/29/95 were 2.20% and 6.82%,
respectively. (3)

OUTLOOK
"We remain optimistic and, given current market conditions, we believe that
municipal bond investments offer a good value."

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.  As of
October  10,  1996,  the  Fund's  name was  changed  from  "Oppenheimer  Florida
Tax-Exempt Fund."

1. A portion of the distributions paid by the Fund may be subject to federal and
state 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.  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.

3. Class A returns  include the current  maximum  initial sales charge of 4.75%.
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
performance calculations is in the Fund's prospectus. Class B and Class C 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 1/31/97.  Falling net asset values will tend to artificially
raise yields.

BRIDGET A. MACASKILL
President
Oppenheimer
Florida Municipal Fund

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. 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.

Portfolio Manager

Q + A
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
Our Performance has been relatively strong. We attribute the Fund's success to 
our strategy of holding municipal bonds that offer potentially high after-tax
income. As a result of this strategic positioning, Oppenheimer Florida Municipal
Fund finished 10th out of 81 Florida municipal debt funds ranked by Lipper 
Analytical Services for the 1-year period ended  12/31/96.(1)

WHAT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES MADE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS
TO PERFORMANCE?  
We prefer essential service revenue bonds -- such as  water  and  sewer, toll
roads  and transportation bonds--to generate obligation bonds. Revenue bonds
maintain user fees that generate a revenue stream. These bonds are more in step
with today's economic climate,  where  the  policies  coming  out of  Washington
place  more pressure on states and localities to produce their own revenues and
services. With revenue bonds, the primary purpose is to finance an essential
service such as water and sewer,and to that extent, they encounter less 
political pressure and have the capacity to charge fees necessary to maintain 
the services. Because higher-yielding bonds often have a lower rating, they
require careful analysis of the risk of default.

We've  reduced  our  exposure  to general  obligation  bonds,  and have avoided
the fiscal  pressures  that have  plagued  Miami.  However,  we believe  Dade
County  will offer some  interesting  opportunities  for restructuring  
financing  projects during 1997. Going forward,  if Dade County recognizes and
resolves its problems,  we expect to see signs of better managed communities 
within this county.(2)

DID ANY INVESTMENTS LAG IN PERFORMANCE?
In the last six months,  as interest rates have  declined,  defensively
positioned prerefunded bonds have not performed as well as discount and zero 
coupon bonds. Fortunately, we correctly anticipated the decline in interest
rates and reduced our prerefunded bond exposure.  Instead,  we purchased housing
bonds that provided us with higher income.

WHAT AREAS OF THE MARKET ARE YOU CURRENTLY TARGETING?
We've  been  buying  bonds in  planned  community  developments.  These
neighborhoods  are  designed  for  different  types of  housing--single family,
detached  and  condominium  living.  They  are  self-contained communities, with
pre-planned  grammar,  middle and high schools built within the gated community.
Demand within these communities is so high that high  school  registrations
have  reached  capacity  even  before construction is completed.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We  continue  to  maintain a  positive  outlook.  Currently,  long-term interest
rates are low,  there doesn't appear to be any real inflation on the horizon,
and we've seen steady,  moderate economic growth in the United States for some
time. We therefore remain  optimistic and, given current market conditions,
we believe that municipal bond investments offer a good value.

       STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

       1. For zero coupon bonds,  the interest rate shown is the effective yield
       on the date of purchase.  
       2. Securities with an aggregate market value of
       $221,364  are held in  collateralized  accounts to cover  initial  margin
       requirements  on open  futures  sales  contracts.  See Note 5 of Notes to
       Financial  Statements.  
       3.  Represents  the current  interest  rate for a variable rate bond. 
       These bonds known as "inverse  floaters" pay interest at a rate that  
       varies  inversely  with  short-term  interest  rates.  As interest rates 
       rise, inverse floaters produce less current income.  Their price  may be 
       more  volatile  than the price of a  comparable  fixed-rate security.  
       Inverse  floaters amount to $2,896,250 or 7% of the Fund's net assets at 
       January 31,  1997.  
       4.  Floating or  variable  rate  obligation maturing  in more than one 
       year.  The  interest  rate,  which is based on specific,  or an index 
       of, market  interest  rates,  is subject to change periodically  and is  
       the effective  rate  on  January  31,  1997.  This instrument  may also 
       have a demand  feature  which allows the recovery of principal at any 
       time, or at specified  intervals not exceeding one year, on up to 30 
       days' notice. Maturity date shown represents effective maturity based on
       variable rate and, if applicable, demand feature.

       As of January 31, 1997, securities subject to the alternative minimum tax
       amounted to $6,541,586 or 15.82% of the Fund's net assets.

1.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         Oppenheimer   Florida   Municipal  Fund  (the  Fund),   formerly  named
         Oppenheimer   Florida   Tax-Exempt   Fund,  is  a  separate  series  of
         Oppenheimer  Multi-State  Municipal Trust, a non-diversified,  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  interest income exempt from federal income and
         Florida  state 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,  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 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
         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.

         TRUSTEES'  FEES  AND  EXPENSES.   The  Fund  has  adopted  a  nonfunded
         retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based
         on years of service and fees paid to each  trustee  during the years of
         service.  During the six months ended  January 31, 1997, a provision of
         $5,097  was made for the  Fund's  projected  benefit  obligations,  and
         payments  of $1,509  were made to  retired  trustees,  resulting  in an
         accumulated liability of $42,596 at January 31, 1997.

         ORGANIZATION  COSTS.  The Manager  advanced $1,480 for organization and
         start-up  costs of the Fund.  Such expenses are being  amortized over a
         five year period from the effective date operations  commenced.  In the
         event that all or part of the Manager's initial investment in shares of
         the Fund is withdrawn  during the amortization  period,  the redemption
         proceeds  will be reduced  to  reimburse  the Fund for any  unamortized
         expenses,  in the same ratio as the number of shares  redeemed bears to
         the  number  of  initial  shares   outstanding  at  the  time  of  such
         redemption.

         DISTRIBUTIONS  TO SHAREHOLDERS.  The Fund intends to declare  dividends
         separately  for Class A, Class B and Class C 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.

         13 Oppenheimer Florida Municipal Fund

<PAGE>

         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)

1.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
         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.

         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 Florida and,  therefore,  may
         have more credit risks  related to the economic  conditions  of Florida
         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.       SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
         The Fund has  authorized an unlimited  number of no par value shares of
         beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial
         interest were as follows:

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 0.60% on the
     first  $200  million of average  annual net  assets,  0.55 on the next $100
     million,  0.50% on the next $200  million,  0.45% on the next $250 million,
     0.40% on the next  $250  million  and  0.35% on net  assets in excess of $1
     billion.  Effective January 1, 1997, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken
     to waive a portion of its management  fee,  whereby the Fund pays a fee not
     to exceed  0.545% of average  annual net assets.  The Manager has agreed to
     assume Fund  expenses  (with  specified  exceptions)  in excess of the most
     stringent applicable regulatory limit on Fund expenses.

     For the six months ended January 31, 1997,  commissions (sales charges paid
     by investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled  $67,288,  of which $8,294
     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  $69,777  and  $1,632.  During  the six
     months ended January 31, 1997,  OFDI  received  contingent  deferred  sales
     charges of 36,533 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.

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

     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% (voluntarily  reduced
     to 0.15% by the Fund's  Board) 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.

     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% (voluntarily  reduced to 0.15% by
     the Fund's  Board) 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 January 31, 1997, OFDI
     retained $52,358 as compensation for Class B sales  commissions and service
     fee advances,  as well as financing costs. As of January 31, 1997, OFDI had
     incurred unreimbursed expenses of $411,178 for Class B.

     The Fund has adopted a compensation  type Distribution and Service Plan for
     Class  C  shares  to  compensate   OFDI  for  its  services  and  costs  in
     distributing  Class C shares and servicing  accounts.  Under the Plan,  the
     Fund  pays  OFDI an annual  asset-based  sales  charge of 0.75% per year on
     Class C shares.  OFDI also  receives  a service  fee of 0.25%  (voluntarily
     reduced to 15% by the  Fund's  Board) 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. As of 
     January 31,1997, OFDI had  incurred  unreimbursed  expense of $1,318 for
     Class C.

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 or for purposes of
     duration management.  The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on
     these futures contracts.

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)

5.   FUTURES CONTRACTS (continued)
     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 January 31, 1997, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts to purchase
     debt securities as follows:
