DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

     These have been very positive times for many American investors. The U.S.
economy has continued to grow at a moderate pace, unemployment has fallen to its
lowest level in 30 years and inflation has also fallen to a record low. In fact,
long-term interest rates have fallen to their lowest level since the government
began issuing 30-year Treasury bonds in 1977.

     What benefits does this provide to the average American? First, when
unemployment levels are low, many individuals tend to feel a greater sense of
job security and can command higher wages because there are fewer unemployed
workers vying for their jobs. Second, many homeowners are opting to refinance
their existing home mortgage loans and take advantage of lower financing rates.
And third, because wages are increasing faster than the rate of inflation, a
paycheck may stretch further and investors, as consumers, are able to enjoy a
higher level of disposable income. This extra income can be put to use in many
ways, including allocating more money to investment opportunities.

     Some industry analysts have tempered such positive news by suggesting that
if the rate of inflation falls any lower, it might actually trigger a period of
deflation, where we see the prices of American goods and services decline. While
lower prices may sound like positive news, in reality it isn't because when
prices fall too low, it erodes the value of those goods to the producer. That
is, when economic conditions force a decrease in the price of goods, companies
have to sell more of those items in order to make the same amount of profit,
which translates into greater difficulties for corporations to improve their
bottom lines.

     At OppenheimerFunds, we do not believe we will see a period of deflation in
the United States. The fundamental factors that have driven the U.S. market
still appear in place: an economy that's in its eighth year of expansion with
moderate growth, low unemployment, virtually no inflation and low interest
rates. However, because of economic uncertainties in other parts of the world,
particularly Asia, we expect to see slower growth for stocks in 1998 and a year
in which double-digit returns from the equity markets are unlikely. It's also
possible that we may see investors favor the fixed, more secure interest
payments offered from the bond markets.

     In closing, we'd like to reassure you that as professional money managers,
we continue to keep a watchful eye on these situations and are closely
monitoring your fund's investments. In times like these, your financial advisor
can be of invaluable assistance to you in helping review your financial plan and
guide your investments accordingly.

     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.

THE ROCHESTER DIVISION

     The Rochester Division of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is dedicated to the
investment management and distribution of the two Rochester Funds: Rochester
Fund Municipals and the Limited Term New York Municipal Fund. Having an
investment focus which is limited to a specific sector and region of the
municipal market has historically proven to be beneficial. Not only has it
enabled portfolio management to apply intensive research to the outstanding
universe of New York State municipal bonds, but it has given them an opportunity
to develop somewhat unique strategies relative to municipal bond fund
management.

                                       1

ROCHESTER STYLE


     The Rochester Style of management includes researching small issues, story
bonds, unrated bonds, and callable bonds in addition to the more conventional
municipal bonds. And if, through diligent credit research and active portfolio
management, we believe these bonds can enhance fund performance and/or yield,
the Rochester Style of management often includes buying them. While it is true
that these types of bonds are often not considered by other funds, Limited Term
New York Municipal Fund is not your typical fund.

     For example, it is our opinion that a portfolio of 40 AAA insured bonds of
similar maturities issued by four or five entities may look great, but that it
offers little real world diversification. Similarly, while unrated bonds may not
appeal to an individual investor, it is our opinion that there can be a
significant yield advantage inherent in them(1). That's because there has been
no fee deducted from the yield to pay for an alphabet letter rating from a
rating agency.

     We believe there are great, often overlooked, opportunities out there and
that in a well diversified fund (Limited Term New York Municipal Fund has a
portfolio of 898 different securities as of 12/31/97) there can be a place for
such "alternative" holdings.

- ----------
     (1) Small issues are typically less liquid than equivalent quality large
issues. However, issuers of comparatively smaller debt are often more flexible
in their ability to negotiate terms. And, while lower rated and unrated bonds
generally involve greater risk than bonds in the higher rated categories as
determined by S&P and Moody's rating services, in a well diversified fund, we
believe the credit risk is justified.

MAXIMIZING THE RISK/REWARD TRADE-OFF

     A fundamental reason for investing in Limited Term New York Municipal Fund
is the attractive risk/reward trade-off it offers. Bonds and bond funds with
shorter maturities carry less market price risk with close to the same reward
than longer term bonds and bond funds.

     As you can see from the chart to the right, 5-year bonds have recently
captured most of the yield of long-term bonds. At 12/31/97, 5-year bonds were
earning over 80% of the yield of the 30-year bond(1). The Limited Term New York
Municipal Fund attempts to maintain an average effective maturity of 5 years or
less. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

     In addition, we take the process of balancing risk and reward one step
further. We "ladder" the maturities of the individual bonds in the Fund to
control maturity exposure and further limit price risk.

- ----------
     (1) Data Source: Bloomberg Business News


                               [yield curve chart]


     Laddering involves building a portfolio of bonds with staggered maturities,
so that a portion of the portfolio will mature at varying points in time. To
maintain the ladder, money that comes in from currently maturing bonds is
invested in bonds with maturities further up the ladder.

     Consider an environment of increasing interest rates; as the bonds at the
bottom of the ladder mature, we have the opportunity to reinvest the proceeds at
the new higher yields at the top. In a falling interest rate scenario, rising
bond prices will accompany lower yields. As the bonds at the bottom of the
ladder mature, we replace those bonds at the top with lower yields. However, the
remaining bonds in the ladder should move up in price. Over time, this laddering
process tends to produce a portfolio with the income of longer maturity bonds,
but the price stability of shorter maturity bonds.

1997 In 
Review

                            [Photo--Ronald Fielding]

                                                  CFA, Senior Vice 
                                                  President,
                                                  OppenheimerFunds, Inc. 
                                                  and Chairman of the 
                                                  Rochester Division


To Fellow Shareholders,

     It is a pleasure to bring you Limited Term New York Municipal Fund's Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 1997 and announce that once again, the
Fund was able to achieve a high level of current tax-free income with low share
price fluctuation during the year for all share classes(1). During the year, the
Net Asset Value for Class A Shares varied between $3.24 and $3.34. To further
portray the low price flucutation, please note that over the last five years, a
period of significant interest rate movement, the price variation has been only
between $3.11 and $3.36. In addition, according to Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc., LIMITED TERM NEW YORK MUNICIPAL FUND (CLASS A SHARES) WAS THE TOP
PERFORMING FUND IN ITS CATEGORY FOR THE ONE AND FIVE YEAR PERIODS ENDED
12/31/97! (That's among 37 and 2 funds in the Other States Short-Intermediate
Municipal Debt Fund category, respectively)(2).

     During the year in review, the U.S. economy continued its healthy
expansion. In fact, 1997 proved to be the best of all possible worlds for
investors, with the economy characterized by low unemployment, healthy growth
and subdued inflation. Through April, there existed a sense of nervousness from
municipal market participants and the Federal Reserve Board about potential
inflationary pressures, and the Fed raised the Federal Funds Rate a quarter of
one percent in March. Since then, however, long-term interest rates have
steadily declined. This phenomenon contributed to the Fund's increase in net
asset value in 1997.

     The economy continues to improve for both New York State and New York City.
Both the state itself and many state agencies had their credit ratings upgraded
in 1997, and with a strong economy and prudent fiscal management, we expect more
credit upgrades in 1998. The state actually recorded a budget surplus for its
fiscal year. And New York City was buoyed by strong tax revenues through the
year, driven in part by the profits registered by a record year on Wall Street.
This gave a particular boost to New York City general obligation bonds.

     Both Class A and Class X Shares of the Fund received a dividend increase
during 1997. However, because of generally declining rates over the last several
years, we believe it will be necessary to make a slight downward adjustment
early in 1998 to reflect changes in market conditions. 

     As we enter 1998, we believe conditions for investing in municipal bonds
should remain good. Interest rate levels on municipal bonds, though lower now
than during the past few years, are still very attractive compared to taxable
bonds or low dividend levels on stocks. Municipal bonds can be a refuge for
those weary of current stock prices. Very low inflation, a benign interest rate
environment and economic growth seem likely to continue. We will continue to
monitor the New York municipal market carefully in an attempt to provide our
investors with current tax-free income and low share price volatility.

     We appreciate your support, welcome new shareholders, and look forward to
serving your investment needs in the years ahead.


Sincerely,

        [SIG]

  Ronald H. Fielding
  Portfolio Manager

distributed no capital gains in 1997, but if any are distributed in the future,
they would be taxable as capital gains. For investors subject to the alternative

     Class A Shares of the Fund have earned Morningstar's highest 5-star overall
rank. 3-year and 5-year Morningstar rankings for the period ended 12/31/97 are
five stars and five stars respectively. 1494 and 720 municipal funds were rated
for these 3- and 5-year periods, respectively(1).

risk-adjusted total return as of December 31, 1997. The rankings are subject to
change every month. Rankings are based on past performance, which is no
guarantee of future results. Morningstar rankings are calculated from the fund's
three-, five-, and ten-year average annual returns in excess of 90-day Treasury
bill returns with appropriate fee adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects
fund performance below 90-day T-bill returns.


                                TAX-FREE INCOME

     The Limited Term New York Municipal Fund provides individual investors with
the opportunity to earn income free of federal, New York State and New York City
personal income taxes(1). At a time when the combined effect of these income
taxes could leave you with less than $60 of every $100 earned by a fully taxable
investment, many investors are taking advantage of this opportunity(2).

- ----------
     (1) A portion of the Fund's distributions in the future may be subject to
federal, state or local income taxes. Capital gains distributions, if any, are
taxable as capital gains. For investors subject to alternative minimum tax, some
of the Fund's distributions may increase that tax.

     (2) Assumes a maximum 39.6% federal income tax rate.

Standardized yield is net investment income calculated on a yield-to-maturity
basis for the 30-day period ended 12/31/97, divided by the maximum offering
price at the end of the period, compounded semiannually and then annualized.
Falling net asset values will tend to artificially raise yields.

     Tony's efforts as Portfolio Manager focus on screening the universe of New
York municipal bonds available in both the secondary and primary markets and
valuing and selecting those bonds which may best enable The Rochester Funds to
achieve their objectives. He also manages the overall research efforts of the
portfolio management team.

"We believe that it is our diligent research that offers our New York investors
something different. If I can find bonds with a little more yield, and without
additional risk, I feel as though I've done my job."

     Rich directs the credit research activities at the Rochester Division. This
primarily includes the analysis and surveillance of all high yield issues, with
a particular emphasis on unrated and unenhanced private placement bonds.

"Over the years, we have discovered that it pays to do our homework. Though
buying lower rated or non-rated bonds may scare some individual investors, we
believe that there can be a place for it in a fund. It's an approach that not
only broadens the diversity of the Fund's holdings but has the potential to both
reduce risk and increase yield."

     Over the years, Mike has been instrumental in establishing the Fund's
strategies and philosophies. While his direct role in managing The Rochester
Funds is minimal, his leadership and presence has been one of the reasons for
their success.

"Here in Rochester, we've always believed that investors can benefit from the
advice, resources, and experience of a knowledgeable professional. We know that
when it comes to something as important as planning your financial future, it
makes sense to get the advice of a professionally trained investment
representative."

ALL bonds are current with their debt service requirements. Bonds rated by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization are included in the
equivalent Standard & Poor's rating category. As a general matter, unrated bonds
may be backed by mortgage liens or equipment liens on the underlying property,
and also may be guaranteed. Bonds which are backed by a letter of credit or by
other financial institutions or agencies may be assigned an investment grade
rating by the Manager, which reflects the quality of the guarantor, institution
or agency. Unrated bonds may also be assigned a rating when the issuer has rated
bonds outstanding with comparable credit characteristics, or when, in the
opinion of the Manager, the bond itself possesses credit characteristics which
allow for rating. The unrated bonds in the portfolio are predominantly smaller
issuers which have not applied for a bond rating. Only those unrated bonds which
subsequent to purchase have not been designated investment grade by the Manager
and the Fund's Board of Trustees are included in the "Not Rated" category. For
further information see "Credit Quality" in the Prospectus.

LIMITED TERM NEW YORK MUNICIPAL FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Limited Term New York Municipal Fund (the Fund), a series of Rochester
Portfolio Series, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The
Fund's investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of
income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal income
taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment
management. The Fund intends to invest primarily in a portfolio of investment
grade obligations with a dollar weighted average effective maturity of five
years or less. The Fund's investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
Manager).

On May 1, 1997, the Fund redesignated the existing Class B shares as Class X
shares and introduced two new classes of shares, designated as Class B and 
Class C.

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class X shares. Class A shares are
sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class X 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 and Class X 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 AND TRANSACTIONS. Portfolio securities are valued at the
close of the New York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Long-term debt
securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price using
information available from a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of
Trustees, dealer-supplied valuations, provided the Manager is satisfied that the
firm rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current value,
or analysis of various relationships between comparable securities. Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees to
determine fair value in good faith. Investment transactions are accounted for on
the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined
and realized gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method
for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. In computing net investment income, the Fund
amortizes premiums and accretes original issue discount. For municipal bonds
purchased after April 30, 1993 and subsequently sold at a gain, market discount
is accreted at the time of sale (to the extent of the lesser of the accrued
market discount or the disposition gain) and is treated as taxable income,
rather than capital gain.

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS. Delivery and payment for securities
that have been purchased by the Fund on a forward commitment or when-issued
basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. Normally the
settlement date occurs within six months of the purchase of municipal bonds and
notes. However, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase municipal securities
whose settlement date extends beyond six months and possibly as long as two
years or more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn
interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in
value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains, in a segregated account with
its custodian, assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of
its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value to
the extent the Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully
invested.

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. At December 31, 1997, the
Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss
carryover of approximately $9,100,000, which expires between 2002 and 2004.

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


                                       29



<PAGE>


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 its 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 fiscal year in which the income or realized gain (loss) was
recorded by the Fund.

CONCENTRATION IN NEW YORK ISSUERS. There are certain risks arising from
geographic concentration in any state. Certain revenue or tax related events in
a state may impair the ability of certain issuers of municipal securities to pay
principal and interest on their obligations.

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

OTHER. 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.


NOTE 2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST:

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of
each class, par value $.01 per share. Transactions in shares of beneficial
interest were as follows:

NOTE 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 0.50% on the first
$100 million of average annual net assets, 0.45% of the next $150 million, 0.40%
of the next $1,750 million, and 0.39% on net assets in excess of $2 billion.
During 1997, the Fund paid $3,140,951 to the Manager for management and
investment advisory services.

Accounting fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the accounting
services agreement with the Fund which provides for an annual fee of $12,000 for
the first $30 million of net assets and $9,000 for each additional $30 million
of net assets. During 1997, the Fund paid $225,111 to the Manager for accounting
and pricing services.

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 for each Fund shareholder
account


                                       31



<PAGE>


and reimburses OFS for its out-of-pocket expenses. During 1997, the Fund paid a
total of $349,629 to OFS for transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, commissions (sales charges paid by
investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $2,677,697, of which $473,852 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, Class
C and Class X shares totaled $648,027, $275,006 and $265,074, respectively, of
which $3,032, $9,746 and $5,067, respectively, were paid to an affiliated
broker/dealer. During the year ended December 31, 1997, OFDI received contingent
deferred sales charges of $15,712, $9,187 and $82,642, respectively, upon
redemption of Class B, Class C and Class X shares, as reimbursement for sales
commissions advanced by OFDI at the time of sale of such shares.

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 shareholder accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is
made quarterly at an annual rate that may not exceed 0.25% 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 maintaining accounts of their customers that hold Class A
shares. During the year ended December 31, 1997, OFDI paid $17,777 to an
affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class A personal service and
maintenance expenses.

The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C
shares to compensate OFDI for its 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 for its
services rendered in distributing Class B and Class C shares. OFDI also receives
a service fee of 0.25% per year to compensate dealers for providing personal
services for accounts that hold Class B and Class C shares. Each fee is 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 year ended December 31, 1997,
OFDI retained $65,563 and $84,618, respectively, as compensation for Class B and
Class C sales commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs.
If either 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
distributing shares before the Plan was terminated. At December 31, 1997, OFDI
had incurred unreimbursed expenses of $642,821 for Class B and $452,980 for
Class C.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Class X shares to
compensate OFDI for its costs in distributing Class X shares and servicing
accounts. Under the Plan, the Fund may pay OFDI an annual asset-based sales
charge of up to 0.75% per year on Class X shares for its services rendered in
distributing Class X shares. Currently, the Board of Trustees has limited the
asset-based sales charge to 0.50% per year on Class X shares. OFDI also receives
a service fee of 0.25% per year to compensate dealers for providing personal
services for accounts that hold Class X shares. The fee is computed on the
average annual net assets of Class X shares, determined as of the close of each
regular business day. During the year ended December 31, 1997, OFDI paid $1,160
to an affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class X personal service and
maintenance expenses and retained $312,896 as compensation for Class X sales
commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. 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 distributing shares before
the Plan was terminated. At December 31, 1997, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed
expenses of $444,572 for Class X.


NOTE 5. BANK BORROWINGS:

The Fund may borrow up to 10% of its total assets from a bank to purchase
portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes. The Fund has
entered into an agreement which enables it to participate with two other funds
managed by the Manager in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits
borrowings up to $50 million, collectively. Interest is charged to each fund,
based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.625%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 0.07% is allocated among the three
participating funds at the end of each quarter, based on the average daily
unused portion of the committed line. The commitment fee is allocated among the
three funds based upon their respective average net assets for the period. The
commitment fee allocated to the Fund for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
$222.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1997. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, the average monthly loan balance was $2,647,453 at an average
interest rate of 6.352%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding at any
month-end was $20,870,000.


NOTE 6.  ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES:

At December 31, 1997, 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 15% of its net assets (determined at the
time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Certain
restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors,
are not subject to that limit. The aggregate value of illiquid securities
subject to this limitation at December 31, 1997 was $4,427,676, which represents
0.51% of the Fund's net assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Rochester Portfolio Series

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Limited Term New York Municipal
Fund (the sole portfolio constituting Rochester Portfolio Series, hereafter
referred to as the Fund) at December 31, 1997, the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
financial statements) are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
December 31, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had
not been received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

In early 1998, shareholders received information regarding all dividends and
distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 1997. Regulations of
the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the
Internal Revenue Service.

None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 1997
are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. 100% of the
dividends were derived from interest on municipal bonds and are not subject to
federal, New York State and New York City income taxes. For the state income tax
reporting purposes of non-New York State shareholders, the distribution breaks
down as follows: New York State (84.48%), Guam (2.58%), Puerto Rico (2.90%),
Virgin Islands (9.52%), American Samoa (0.52%).

During 1997, 22.39% of this tax-exempt income was derived from "private activity
bonds". These are municipal bonds used to finance privately operated facilities.
The interest on these bonds is not taxable for most investors. For the few
investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, the interest from these bonds
is considered a preference item.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting
distributions received from the Fund 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.
