DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

As the fixed income markets began to rally at the start of the
year, rates began to decline.  Your Trust's managers have been
actively following the dramatic performance of the fixed income
markets and, as a result, their strategy allowed the Trust a
position among the top 25% of all California tax-exempt money
market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue.(1)

One of the main factors affecting performance this year was the
favorable supply and demand relationship.  Because there has been
relatively short supply and increased demand for municipal bonds,
prices have remained high, which consequently put downward pressure
on yields in the shorter end of this market.

The Trust's compounded annualized yield for the 12 months ended
June 30, 1995 was 3.03%.  The corresponding yield without
compounding was 2.99%.  For investors in the 42.4% combined federal
and state tax bracket, this is equal to a taxable yield of 5.26%
with compounding and 5.19% without compounding.(2)

The Trust's seven-day annualized yields with and without
compounding for the year ended June 30, 1995 were 3.42% and 3.37%,
respectively.

With the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut, plus ongoing strong
demand, we are optimistic about the market and the domestic
economy.  And as noted before, the portfolio has been able to
maintain a strong yield in the face of both a drop in interest
rates and unusually strong demand in our market -- but as this
additional demand stabilizes as the year continues, we could again
see yields increase.

We're pleased to provide an investment that continues to offer tax-
exempt income, a stable share price, and complete liquidity.(3)  We
appreciate the confidence you have placed in Centennial California
Tax Exempt Trust and look forward to helping you continue to meet
your financial goals in the future.


Sincerely,



/s/ Jon S. Fossel
Jon S. Fossel
President, Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust (the Trust) is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified,
open-end management investment company.  The Trust's investment advisor
is Centennial Asset Management Corporation (the Manager), a subsidiary
of Oppenheimer Management Corporation (OMC).  The following is a summary
of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust.

INVESTMENT VALUATION.  Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

FEDERAL TAXES.  The Trust 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 to shareholders. 
Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.  The Trust intends to declare dividends
from net investment income each day the New York Stock Exchange is open
for business and pay such dividends monthly.  To effect its policy of
maintaining a net asset value of $1.00 per share, the Trust may withhold
dividends or make distributions of net realized gains.

OTHER.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the
investments are purchased or sold (trade date).  Realized gains and
losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis, which
is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

2.  SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Trust has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of
beneficial interest.  Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were
as follows:

                       ============= ============== ============= ==============
</TABLE>
3.   MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 
Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the
investment advisory agreement with the Trust which provides for a fee of
 .50% on the first $250 million of average annual net assets with a
reduction of .025% on each $250 million thereafter, to .40% on net
assets in excess of $1 billion.  The Manager has agreed to assume Trust
expenses (with specified exceptions) in excess of the regulatory
limitation of the State of California.  In addition, the Manager has
voluntarily undertaken to assume Trust expenses in excess of .80% of
average annual net assets.  

Shareholder Services, Inc. (SSI), a subsidiary of OMC, is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for the Trust, and for other registered
investment companies.  SSI's total costs of providing such services are
allocated ratably to these companies.

Under an approved plan of distribution, the Trust may expend up to .20%
of its net assets annually to reimburse Centennial Asset Management
Corporation, as distributor, for costs incurred in connection with the
personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the
Trust, including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other
institutions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust


The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of 
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the statement of investments, of Centennial California Tax
Exempt Trust as of June 30, 1995, the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the
years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the financial highlights for the
period June 12, 1990 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 1995. 
These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust'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 generally accepted auditing
standards.  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 at June 30, 1995 by correspondence with
the custodian.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust at June 30, 1995, the results of
its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial
highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION  (Unaudited)
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust


In early 1996, shareholders will receive information regarding all
dividends and distributions paid to them by the Trust during calendar
year 1995.  Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the
Trust to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

None of the dividends paid by the Trust during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received
deduction.  The dividends were derived from interest on municipal bonds
and are not subject to federal income tax.  To the extent a shareholder
is subject to any state or local tax laws, some or all of the dividends
received may be taxable.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in
reporting distributions received from the Trust to the Internal Revenue
Service.  Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may
affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and
local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor
for specific guidance.
