OCC ACCUMULATION TRUST
MANAGED BY
(OPCAP LOGO)
We are pleased to report on the 1996 investment activities and results of
the portfolios in the OCC Accumulation Trust. The objective of the portfolios is
to provide above-average returns with below-average risk by adhering to a
disciplined value approach in buying securities. The portfolios are intended for
the long-term investor seeking to preserve capital and make it grow.
The year was an excellent one for investors in stocks, as the market
continued to rise in a favorable environment of low inflation, slow economic
growth and generally low interest rates. The equity portfolios in the Trust
performed well, delivering returns that generally matched or exceeded their
benchmarks. In managing these portfolios, we invest for the long term in what we
perceive to be superior, undervalued businesses. We do not attempt to forecast
the stock market. Instead, we focus on individual companies and where their
businesses are going over the next several years, not on where the stock market
is heading in the next quarter.
The bond market, by contrast, provided only modest returns in 1996. There
were recurrent investor concerns throughout the year that the economy might
overheat and, if so, that inflation might increase and bond prices might fall.
Economic growth was, in fact, moderate and inflation remained in check.
Nonetheless, these concerns led to relatively weak bond prices. We weathered
these difficult market conditions reasonably well, maintaining a defensive
posture by keeping average maturities short. Prices of shorter maturities tend
to fall less than those of longer maturities in a declining bond market.

EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The Equity Portfolio had another excellent year in 1996, providing a total
return of 23.4%, exceeding the total return of 23.0% for the Standard & Poor's
500 Index with dividends included (S&P 500), an unmanaged index of 500 of the
largest corporations weighted by market capitalization. The Portfolio's
performance was eighth among the 41 capital appreciation funds in Lipper's
Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service Report. This strong
relative performance was achieved despite the Portfolio's conservative
investment posture, including a sizable cash position.
We attained these results by remaining disciplined in our value approach
even as the stock market advanced to new highs. The stocks owned by the
Portfolio had an average price-earnings ratio of 14.2 at the end of 1996, a
significant discount from the price-earnings ratio of 19.5 for the S&P 500.
Despite this discount, the companies in the Portfolio generate what we believe
to be high and sustainable levels of earnings and cash flow. By investing in
quality, undervalued businesses, we seek to control risk and outperform the
market over time. We believe the quality of the businesses we own, their low
relative valuations and the ability of company managements to maximize
shareholder returns will help us limit risk and have significant opportunity for
reward.
The Portfolio has produced above-market returns over extended periods. For
the five years ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolio provided an average annual
total return of 17.7%*, exceeding the 15.2% average annual total return of the
S&P 500. The Portfolio's five-year performance ranked fourth among the 19
portfolios in the Lipper capital appreciation category. The Portfolio's average
annual total return from its inception on August 1, 1988 through December 31,
1996 was 16.5%*, compared with 16.1% for the S&P 500. Returns for the Portfolio
take into account expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not separate account
charges imposed by the insurance company.
The Portfolio owns a diverse group of undervalued companies with superior
business characteristics. A "superior" company, in our view, has a powerful
competitive position, a well-thought-out business strategy, excellent earnings
and high cash flow, and a shareholder-oriented management. We continue to find a
number of undervalued quality companies in the insurance, banking and other
financial services sectors. Our holdings of these companies represented more
than one-third of the Portfolio's net assets at the end of the year. Each of the
financial companies we own has a unique business franchise with competitive
advantages, such as low-cost distribution, highly automated processing, dominant
market share and/or high customer retention. In all cases, company management is
focused on using the company's cash flow to increase shareholder value. Business
results of these companies have continued to improve regardless of the interest
rate environment. The five stocks which contributed most to the Portfolio's
performance in the 1996 second half were ACE, Ltd., McDonnell Douglas Corp., Mid
Ocean Ltd., Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) and Citicorp. With
the exception of McDonnell Douglas, all are financial services companies.
Apart from financial services stocks, one of our newly established
investments in the second half of 1996 was McDonald's Corp., the fast-food
chain. We like McDonald's because its undisputed leadership in overseas markets
gives it the opportunity to invest very large sums of money at high long-term
returns. We believe these favorable returns are momentarily masked by the
startup expenses associated with the rapid growth of new stores. As a result,
this quality stock is available at an attractive price.
Other new positions in the half were Armstrong World Industries, Inc.,
Canadian Pacific, Ltd., Carnival Corp., CSX Corp., General Re Corp., OrNda
Healthcorp (an inexpensive way to increase our investment in Tenet Healthcare
Corp., which is acquiring OrNda in a friendly transaction) and Tenneco, Inc. We
added to existing positions in ACE, Ltd., Caterpillar, Inc., Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corp., R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., EXEL Ltd., Hercules, Inc. and Lucas
Varity PLC (ADRs).
During the half, we eliminated the Portfolio's holdings of AlliedSignal,
Inc., American Express Co., Norfolk Southern Corp. and Transamerica Corp.
Reductions included Electronic Arts, Inc., Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. and
Mid Ocean Ltd.
As of December 31, 1996, assets were allocated 88% to common stocks and 12%
to cash and cash equivalents. The Portfolio's five largest equity positions at
the end of the year were ACE, Ltd., a Bermuda-
<PAGE> 3
based provider of excess liability insurance, representing 4.8% of the
Portfolio's net assets; EXEL Ltd., a strongly capitalized specialty insurance
company, also based in Bermuda, 4.7% of net assets; Wells Fargo & Co., a leading
bank in the Western United States, 4.1% of net assets; Caterpillar, Inc., which
manufactures earth-moving equipment and diesel engines, 3.4% of net assets; and
Citicorp, a leading bank, 3.4% of net assets.
Major industry positions were in the insurance sector, 23.2% of the
Portfolio's net assets; banking, 7.5% of net assets; miscellaneous financial
services, 5.7% of net assets; transportation, 5.3% of net assets; and
manufacturing, 4.9% of net assets.

SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
The Small Cap Portfolio delivered a total return of 18.7% in 1996,
exceeding the total return of 16.5% for the Russell 2000 Index with dividends
included (Russell 2000), a widely followed benchmark which includes smaller
capitalization stocks. The Portfolio invests in undervalued smaller companies
with strong competitive positions, high returns on capital and
shareholder-oriented managements. Its favorable relative performance in 1996 was
achieved despite having a relatively high cash position during the year.
The Portfolio's performance for the year was slightly behind the 19.9%
average total return for the small company growth funds in Lipper's Variable
Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service Report. It ranked 23rd among the
40 funds in this Lipper universe. As the small cap market became less
speculative in the second half of the year, the Portfolio significantly
outperformed the market and its peers. It provided a total return of 9.4% in the
1996 second half compared with 5.6% for the Russell 2000, and its return of 6.5%
in the fourth quarter compared with an average of 1.8% for the funds in the
Lipper small company growth funds category.
For the five years ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolio provided an
average annual total return of 14.5%*, compared with the 15.6% average annual
total return for the Russell 2000. The Portfolio's five-year performance was
third among eight funds in the Lipper small company growth funds category. From
its inception on August 1, 1988 through December 31, 1996, the Portfolio
generated an average annual total return of 14.7%*, exceeding the 13.0% average
annual total return for the Russell 2000. Returns for the Portfolio take into
account expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not separate account charges
imposed by the insurance company.
We invest in smaller companies for long-term growth. Even when the small
cap market reached a high speculative pitch in the first half of 1996, we did
not stray from our value style. By being disciplined, patient investors, we seek
to outperform the Russell 2000 and provide excellent returns for investors with
below-market risk.
We continue to find excellent smaller companies available at reasonable
valuations. Vital Signs, Inc., one of the Portfolio's newer investments, is an
example. The company manufactures consumable medical products, such as face
masks and breathing circuits, used in anesthesia, respiratory and critical care
applications. Even at a time of cost pressures in the health care market, we own
the stock because of its high returns (28% cash flow on operating assets),
strong new product program and long-term contracts with hospital supply groups.
Like many of our portfolio companies, it holds leading market shares in its
products, and this provides competitive advantages. Also like many, it is
increasing shareholder value by using cash to repurchase stock. Moreover, in a
consolidating industry, Vital Signs is acquiring products which it can sell
through its distribution channels at only modest additional distribution cost.
All in all, this is an outstanding company with high insider ownership, which we
believe results in the interests of management being aligned with those of
shareholders, strong new product flow and a reasonable valuation (about 15 times
estimated fiscal 1997 earnings).
In addition to our investment in Vital Signs, we established new positions
during the second half in such stocks as American Radio Systems Corp., Dal-Tile
International, Inc., Jason, Inc., Tracor, Inc. and Wang Laboratories, Inc. We
reduced or eliminated the Portfolio's holdings of Capitol American Financial
Corp., Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., Noble Drilling Co., Omnicom Group, Inc.
and Singer Co. N.V.
As of December 31, 1996, the Portfolio's net assets were allocated 83% to
common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks and 17% to cash and
cash equivalents. The five largest equity positions as of December 31, 1996 were
Magellan Health Services, Inc., the largest behavioral health care company in
the U.S., representing 4.3% of the Portfolio's net assets; BancTec, Inc., which
provides automated processing systems to the banking industry, 3.8% of net
assets; SpaceLabs, Inc., a medical devices company, 3.8% of net assets; EG&G,
Inc., a supplier of technology products and services to manufacturers and end
users in industry and government, 3.3% of net assets; and Wang Laboratories,
Inc., a software developer, 3.0% of net assets. Major industry positions were in
the insurance sector, 14.4% of net assets; electrical equipment, 10.6% of net
<PAGE> 5
assets; manufacturing, 8.0% of net assets; drugs and medical products, 5.9% of
net assets; and energy, 5.1% of net assets.

MANAGED PORTFOLIO
Continuing its superior long-term performance, the Managed Portfolio
provided a total return of 22.8% in 1996. This return was slightly below the
total return of 23.0% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index with dividends
included (S&P 500), an unmanaged index of 500 of the largest corporations
weighted by market capitalization, and substantially above the 13.9% average
total return of the funds in Lipper's Variable Insurance Products Performance
Analysis Service Report flexible portfolio funds category. The Portfolio ranked
fifth among the 76 funds in this Lipper universe.
The Portfolio invests in stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, with a bias
toward stocks, which have outperformed other classes of investments for nearly
every five-year period since the Depression.
The Portfolio has delivered consistently excellent returns over time. For
the five years ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolio's average annual total
return of 19.1%* exceeded the 15.2% average annual total return of the S&P 500.
This five-year performance was second best among the 54 flexible portfolio funds
in the Lipper universe. From inception on August 1, 1988 through December 31,
1996, the Portfolio delivered an average annual total return of 20.1%*,
surpassing the 16.1% average annual total return for the S&P 500. Returns for
the Portfolio take into account expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not
separate account charges imposed by the insurance company.
Our investment philosophy is based on the concept that the single most
important determinant of whether a stock will increase in value is the rate of
return on invested capital within the company. We believe companies with high
returns can increase their value for extended periods. We therefore look for
companies with above-average returns where those returns are protected by strong
competitive positions, and we want to buy those companies at what we consider to
be reasonable prices.
The Portfolio has been a long-term investor in McDonnell Douglas Corp., its
second largest position at the end of the year. In December 1996, Boeing Co.
reached agreement to acquire McDonnell Douglas in a friendly transaction. We
believe the deal is good for both companies. Boeing will acquire the production
capacity, technical skills and products of McDonnell Douglas, while McDonnell
Douglas shareholders will receive a significant premium over market. The
transaction is expected to close late in the 1997 first quarter or early in the
second.
The Portfolio has substantial holdings of high-quality financial services
stocks, including banks and insurance companies. These companies, including
Wells Fargo & Co., Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) and Citicorp,
are positioned for higher earnings in 1997 and 1998 and, on top of that, are
increasing value by repurchasing shares.
Because we tend to hold stocks for the long term, rather than trading in
and out of the market, there was relatively little portfolio activity in the
1996 second half. We established new positions in ACE, Ltd., Caterpillar, Inc.,
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., McDonald's Corp. and Tele-Communications, Inc. (Class
A). We sold the Portfolio's investments in Mellon Bank Corp. and Reebok
International Ltd. and reduced its position in Intel Corp., among others.
At year end, the Portfolio's net assets were allocated 86% to common stocks
and securities convertible into common stocks, 1% to Treasury notes and bonds,
and 13% to cash and equivalents. The five largest equity positions were: Wells
Fargo & Co., a leading bank in the Western United States, representing 6.1% of
the Portfolio's net assets; McDonnell Douglas Corp., the nation's largest
manufacturer of military aircraft and an important competitor in commercial
aircraft, 5.3% of net assets; Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac),
the second largest insurer of home mortgages in the United States, 4.7% of net
assets; Citicorp, a leading bank and financial services company, 4.6% of net
assets; and du Pont (E. I.) de Nemours & Company, a major industrial company
operating in chemicals, fibers, polymers, petroleum and diversified businesses,
4.3% of net assets.

Major industry positions were in the banking sector, 12.3% of the

insurance, 6.6% of net assets.

BOND PORTFOLIO
The Bond Portfolio invests in a diversified group of quality debt
securities, corporate and government. Reflecting the bond market's weakness in
1996, the Portfolio had a total return (dividends paid and change in net asset
value assuming the reinvestment of dividends) of 2.2% in the year. This compared
with the total return of 3.6% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
(Aggregate Index), a widely followed benchmark. The Portfolio's performance was
29th among the 35 corporate bond funds/BBB-rated in Lipper's Variable Insurance
Products Performance Analysis Service Report.
In the five years ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolio produced an
average annual total return of 5.5%*, versus 7.4% for the Aggregate Index. Since
its inception on August 1, 1988, the Portfolio has generated an average annual
total return of 7.2%*. These returns take into account expenses incurred by the
Portfolio, but not separate account charges imposed by the insurance company.
A proposal has been made to substitute shares of the U.S. Government Income
Portfolio of the OCC Accumulation Trust for shares of the Bond Portfolio. It is
anticipated that necessary approvals will be granted and the substitution will
be completed late in the first quarter of 1997.
As of December 31, 1996, the Bond Portfolio was invested 26% in corporate
notes and bonds, 35% in mortgage-related securities, 36% in Treasury notes and
bonds, and 3% in other assets. We maintained a defensive investment posture
throughout the 1996 first half by keeping the Portfolio's average maturity
relatively short, then increased the average maturity in the second half of the
year to capture higher yields. The effective average maturity of the Portfolio
was approximately 7.4 years as of December 31, 1996.

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
The Money Market Portfolio seeks maximum current income consistent with
stability of principal and liquidity. The seven-day compounded yield of the
Portfolio was 4.6% as of December 31, 1996. The average dollar-weighted
portfolio maturity was 40 days.
We manage the Portfolio conservatively, recognizing that shareholders of
money market funds view liquidity and safety of principal as their most
important objectives. Safety of principal is our first priority. Rather than
subjecting the Money Market Portfolio to additional risk to achieve a higher
return, we maintain a rigorous approach to analyzing and investing in quality
credits. These include the short-term securities of leading financial
institutions and industrial companies in the United States and abroad, as well
as marketable obligations of the United States Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities. As of December 31, 1996, 72% of the Portfolio's assets were
allocated to short-term corporate notes, with the remaining assets invested in
U.S. Government agency securities.
Investments in the Money Market Portfolio are not insured or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government. There is no assurance that the Portfolio will maintain a
stable net asset value.
<PAGE> 10
U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Government Income Portfolio is intended for investors seeking high
cash returns from investments in government securities. In 1996, a challenging
year for bond investors, the Portfolio performed well versus its peers. The
Portfolio had a total return (dividends paid and change in net asset value
assuming the reinvestment of dividends) of 3.0%, compared with a total return of
4.1% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government Bond Index (Lehman Index)
and an average total return of 2.6% for the U.S. Government funds in Lipper's
Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service Report. The Portfolio's
performance was 11th among the 34 funds in this Lipper universe.
The Portfolio provided an average annual total return of 8.0% from its
inception on January 3, 1995 through December 31, 1996, versus an average annual
total return of 9.1% for the Lehman Index. Returns take into account expenses
incurred by the Portfolio, but not separate account charges imposed by the
insurance company.
The Portfolio invests in debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government and its agencies or intermediaries. These issues are considered to
carry the least credit risk. The Portfolio invests primarily in
intermediate-term securities and places a priority on maintaining a relatively
stable net asset value (NAV) per share.
At the end of December 1996, the Portfolio's assets were allocated 62% to
U.S. Government agency securities, 36% to U.S. Treasury securities and 2% to
cash and cash equivalents. We increased the Portfolio's holdings of agency
securities in the second half because of their attractive yields relative to
Treasuries.
Early in the year, when the bond market was weak, we kept the Portfolio's
average maturity relatively short to preserve capital. Prices of shorter
maturities tend to fall less than those of longer maturities in a declining
market. By year end, we had lengthened maturities somewhat to capitalize on
higher yields for intermediate term securities. The average maturity of the
Portfolio's investments was approximately 3.8 years as of December 31, 1996.

GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The Global Equity Portfolio seeks long-term growth by investing in quality,
undervalued stocks around the world. Although international equities as a class
trailed the U.S. stock market in 1996, we outperformed our benchmark, Morgan
Stanley Capital International's World Index in U.S. dollars with dividends net
of local taxes included (World Index). The Portfolio provided a total return of
15.0%, compared with 13.5% for the World Index. The Portfolio's performance was
26th among the 34 global funds in Lipper's Variable Insurance Products
Performance Analysis Service Report.
Recognizing that U.S. stocks will outperform international equities in some
years, and vice-versa, global diversification is an effective tool to control
risk and maximize returns over time. We formed the Portfolio on March 1, 1995 to
capitalize on investment opportunity wherever it may exist. From its inception
through December 31, 1996, the Portfolio's average annual total return of 18.5%
compared with 18.7% for the World Index. Returns for the Portfolio take into
account expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not separate account charges
imposed by the insurance company.
As of December 31, 1996, net assets were allocated 50% to international
stocks, 37% to U.S. stocks, 1% to international securities convertible into
common stocks and 12% to foreign and domestic cash and cash equivalents. The
largest investment positions outside the United States were in Japan, the United
Kingdom, France and Sweden.
The U.S. portion of the Portfolio is invested in undervalued companies with
high cash flow and strong niche business positions, such as Wells Fargo & Co.
and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac). In buying international
equities, we apply the same value disciplines we have used for years in the
United States. Our philosophy is to select stocks one at a time based on
superior business characteristics and reasonable market valuations.
In outperforming the World Index in 1996, the Portfolio benefited from its
overweighting versus the World Index in Europe, where markets were generally
strong. We see many investment opportunities in Europe. The European corporate
sector is changing rapidly as companies restructure to improve their performance
and increase shareholder value. This has, in turn, attracted global investors,
helping drive equity prices higher in the past year. We believe the changes
taking place in Europe fit well with our value investment style. During the
second half, we established a new position in SGS Thomson, a French-Italian
company which is emerging as the dominant global player in dedicated
semiconductors for specialized applications, and added to our holdings of SAP,
the German software company. We eliminated Schering, the German pharmaceuticals
company, when it reached our target price.
The Portfolio is underweighted in Japan versus the World Index, and this
too helped our performance, given the continued weakness of the Japanese market
in 1996. We further reduced the Portfolio's Japanese holdings in the 1996 second
half, taking profits on several Japanese pharmaceutical companies because of
impending pharmaceuticals price cuts. We also sold Mitsubishi Motors because we
were not satisfied with the company's performance.
The Portfolio's investments in Japan are focused on superior businesses
that are reasonably valued by world standards, not by lofty Japanese standards.
In the half, we established a new position in Sony, which we expect to be a
global winner in the move to electronics in the home, and added to Honda. We are
playing the "new" Japan in finance by avoiding the large banks and investing in
specialty finance companies, such as Credit Saison, a credit card company with
low credit losses and a high return on capital.
We are increasing the Portfolio's investments in Canada, where we find
attractive value at this time. New positions in the second half included
Canadian Pacific, Ltd. and Precision Drilling. The latter is the dominant oil
service company in the Mackenzie basin, one of the great natural gas provinces
in North America.
We remain highly selective in our emerging market investments, being
approximately market weighted in Latin America and underweighted in Asia.
The Portfolio's largest international holdings as of December 31, 1996 were
ACE, Ltd., a Bermuda-based provider of excess directors and officers liability
insurance, 4.3% of net assets; OY Nokia, AB, a Finnish
<PAGE> 12
telecommunications equipment company, 1.4% of net assets; Novartis AG, a
Swiss-based pharmaceutical company, 1.0% of net assets; Atlas Copco AB, a
Swedish-based manufacturer of compressors, 0.9% of net assets; and Canon, Inc.,
a Japanese manufacturer of precision electronics, 0.9% of net assets.
The Portfolio's largest U.S. equity holdings were McDonnell Douglas Corp.,
the largest U.S. manufacturer of military aircraft and an important competitor
in commercial aircraft, representing 4.7% of the Portfolio's net assets; Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac), the second largest insurer of home
mortgages in the United States, 3.9% of net assets; Wells Fargo & Co., a leading
bank in the Western United States, 3.7% of net assets; du Pont (E. I.) de
Nemours & Company, a major industrial company operating in chemicals, fibers,
polymers, petroleum and diversified businesses, 2.8% of net assets; and Tenneco,
Inc., an industrial company focused on growth sectors of the automotive parts
and packaging businesses, 2.7% of net assets.
Major industry positions were in the banking sector, 11.7% of net assets;
insurance, 6.5% of net assets; aerospace, 6.3% of net assets; miscellaneous
financial services, 5.9% of net assets; and chemicals, 5.7% of net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust) was organized on May 12, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at
$.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity Portfolio
(the "Portfolio"), the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the
Managed Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government Income Portfolio and
the Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (the "Adviser"), a majority-owned
(99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as the Trust's investment
adviser. The Trust is an investment vehicle for variable annuity and variable
life insurance contracts of various life insurance companies, and qualified
pension and retirement plans. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of
its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investment securities, other than debt securities, listed on a national
exchange or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued
each business day at the last reported sale price; if there are no such reported
sales, the securities are valued at their last quoted bid price. Other
securities traded over-the-counter and not part of the National Market System
are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investment debt securities (other than
short-term obligations) are valued each business day by an independent pricing
service (approved by the Board of Trustees) using methods which include current
market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and
trader-reviewed "matrix" prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining
maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost or amortized value,
which approximates market value. Any securities or other assets for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The ability of issuers of
debt instruments to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
developments in a specific industry or region.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of investments, the cost of investments sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts or
premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and
net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)
which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as dividends in excess
of net investment income or distributions in excess of net realized capital
gains, respectively. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated
earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of paid-in-capital or tax return of capital. At December 31, 1996,
the Portfolio did not have any permanent book-tax differences.
(E) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all applicable portfolios of the
Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
(A) The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .80% on the first $400 million,
.75% on the next $400 million and .70% thereafter.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the advisory
fee necessary to limit total operating expenses of the Portfolio to 1.00% (net
of expense offsets) of average daily net assets on an annual basis.
(B) Total brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolio for the year ended
December 31, 1996 amounted to $14,116, of which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., an
affiliate of the Adviser, received $5,743.
(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities, were $11,763,936 and $4,337,943,
respectively.
(4) UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) AND COST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an
excess of value over tax cost is $3,901,280, aggregate gross unrealized
depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value
is $159,137 and net unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purpose is
$3,742,143. Federal income tax cost basis of portfolio securities is $16,492,938
at December 31, 1996.

(5) Gross of expense offsets. (See note 1G in Notes to Financial Statements)
(6) During the periods presented above, the Adviser waived a portion or all of
its fees and assumed a portion of the Portfolio's operating expenses.
Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolio benefited
from an expense offset arrangement with its custodian bank. If such waivers,
assumptions and expense offsets had not been in effect, the ratios of net
operating expenses to average daily net assets and the ratios of net
investment income to average daily net assets would have been 1.05% and
1.15%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996, 1.26% and 1.20%,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and 2.09% and 0.43%,
annualized, respectively, for the period September 16, 1994 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1994.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
OCC Accumulation Trust -- Equity Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule 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 the Equity Portfolio (one of the
seven portfolios constituting OCC Accumulation Trust, hereafter referred to as
the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1996, 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 the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio'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, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust) was organized on May 12, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at
$.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the Global Equity
Portfolio, the Managed Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government
Income Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (the "Adviser"),
a majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as the Trust's
investment adviser. The Trust is an investment vehicle for variable annuity and
variable life insurance contracts of various life insurance companies, and
qualified pension and retirement plans. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the
preparation of its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investment securities, other than debt securities, listed on a national
exchange or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued
each business day at the last reported sale price; if there are no such reported
sales, the securities are valued at their last quoted bid price. Other
securities traded over-the-counter and not part of the National Market System
are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investment debt securities (other than
short-term obligations) are valued each business day by an independent pricing
service (approved by the Board of Trustees) using methods which include current
market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and
trader-reviewed "matrix" prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining
maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost or amortized value,
which approximates market value. Any securities or other assets for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The ability of issuers of
debt instruments to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
developments in a specific industry or region.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of investments, the cost of investments sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts or
premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and
net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting

principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered temporary or
permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature,
such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal
tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized
capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are
reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or distributions in
excess of net realized capital gains, respectively. To the extent distributions
exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax
purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital or tax return of
capital. At December 31, 1996, the Portfolio did not have any permanent book-tax
differences.
(E) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all applicable portfolios of the
Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
(A) The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .80% on the first $400 million,
.75% on the next $400 million and .70% thereafter.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the advisory
fee necessary to limit total operating expenses of the Portfolio to 1.00% (net
of expense offsets) of average daily net assets on an annual basis.
(B) Total brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolio for the year ended
December 31, 1996 amounted to $52,990, of which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., an
affiliate of the Adviser, received $23,565.
(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities, were $20,565,700 and $9,055,696,
respectively.

(4) UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) AND COST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an
excess of value over tax cost is $3,909,842, aggregate gross unrealized
depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value
is $663,423, and net unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purposes is
$3,246,419. Federal income tax cost basis of portfolio securities is $31,056,264
at December 31, 1996.
(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Oppenheimer Financial Corp., a holding company, holds a one-third interest
in Oppenheimer Capital and Oppenheimer Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership whose units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and of which
Oppenheimer Financial Corp. is the sole general partner, owns the remaining two-
thirds interest. On February 13, 1997, PIMCO Advisors L.P., a registered
investment adviser, signed a definitive agreement with Oppenheimer Group, Inc.
and its subsidiary Oppenheimer Financial Corp. for PIMCO Advisors L.P. and its
affiliate, Thomson Advisory Group, Inc., to acquire the one-third managing
general partner interest in Oppenheimer Capital and the 1.0% general partner
interest in Oppenheimer Capital L.P. The completion of the transaction is
subject to certain client, lender, IRS and other approvals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
OCC Accumulation Trust -- Small Cap Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule 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 the Small Cap Portfolio (one of the
seven portfolios constituting OCC Accumulation Trust, hereafter referred to as
the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1996, 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 the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio'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, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

OCC ACCUMULATION TRUST
MANAGED PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust) was organized on May 12, 1994, as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at
$.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government Income
Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (the "Adviser"), a
majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as the Trust's
investment adviser. The Trust is an investment vehicle for variable annuity and
variable life insurance contracts of various life insurance companies, and
qualified pension and retirement plans. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the
preparation of its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investment securities, other than debt securities, listed on a national
exchange or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued
each business day at the last reported sale price; if there are no such reported
sales, the securities are valued at their last quoted bid price. Other
securities traded over-the-counter and not part of the National Market System
are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investment debt securities (other than
short-term obligations) are valued each business day by an independent pricing
service (approved by the Board of Trustees) using methods which include current
market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and
trader-reviewed "matrix" prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining
maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost or amortized value,
which approximates market value. Any securities or other assets for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The ability of issuers of
debt instruments to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
developments in a specific industry or region.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of investments, the cost of investments sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts or
premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and
net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts

OCC ACCUMULATION TRUST
MANAGED PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)
based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized capital gains, respectively. To the
extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for
Federal income tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-
in-capital or tax return of capital. At December 31, 1996, the Portfolio did not
have any permanent book-tax differences.
(E) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all applicable portfolios of the
Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
(A) The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .80% on the first $400 million,
.75% on the next $400 million and .70% thereafter.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the advisory
fee necessary to limit total operating expenses of the Portfolio to 1.00% (net
of expense offsets) of average daily net assets on an annual basis.
(B) Total brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolio for the year ended
December 31, 1996 amounted to $107,123, of which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., an
affiliate of the Adviser, received $61,183.
(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities, were $84,349,690 and $30,263,820,
respectively.
(4) UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) AND COST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an
excess of value over tax cost is $40,341,986, aggregate gross unrealized
depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value
is $730,406 and net unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purposes is
$39,611,580. Federal income tax cost basis of portfolio securities is
$141,697,788 at December 31, 1996.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
OCC Accumulation Trust -- Managed Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule 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 the Managed Portfolio (one of the
seven portfolios constituting OCC Accumulation Trust, hereafter referred to as
the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1996, 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 the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio'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, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

OCC ACCUMULATION TRUST
BOND PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust) was organized on May 12, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at
$.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the U. S. Government Income
Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio. The Trust filed an application with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for an Order approving the substitution
of shares of the U.S. Government series for shares of the Bond series. Notice of
the Application was published January 29, 1997. If the order is issued, the
substitution will be effected shortly thereafter. OpCap Advisors, (the
"Adviser"), a majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as
the Trust's investment adviser. The Trust is an investment vehicle for variable
annuity and variable life insurance contracts of various life insurance
companies, and qualified pension and retirement plans. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investment debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued
each business day by an independent pricing service (approved by the Board of
Trustees) using methods which include current market quotations from a major
market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed "matrix" prices. Short-term
debt securities having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost or amortized value, which approximates market value. Any
securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available
are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Trustees. The ability of issuers of debt instruments to meet their obligations
may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of investments, the cost of investments sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as
earned. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or
amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.
Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at
least annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting

(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)
purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net
investment income or distributions in excess of net realized capital gains,
respectively. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated
earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of paid-in-capital or tax return of capital. At December 31, 1996,
the Portfolio did not have any permanent book-tax differences.
(E) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all applicable portfolios of the
Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .50%.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the advisory
fee necessary to limit total operating expenses of the Portfolio to 1.00% (net
of expense offsets) of average daily net assets on an annual basis.
(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities, were $6,205,620 and $7,630,072,
respectively.
(4) UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) AND COST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an
excess of value over tax cost is $35,184, aggregate gross unrealized
depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value
is $24,856 and net unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purposes is
$10,328. Federal income tax cost basis of portfolio securities is $2,402,223 at
December 31, 1996.
(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Oppenheimer Financial Corp., a holding company, holds a one-third interest
in Oppenheimer Capital and Oppenheimer Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership whose units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and of which
Oppenheimer Financial Corp. is the sole general partner, owns the remaining two-
thirds interest. On February 13, 1997, PIMCO Advisors L.P., a registered
investment adviser, signed a definitive agreement with Oppenheimer Group, Inc.
and its subsidiary Oppenheimer Financial Corp. for

OCC ACCUMULATION TRUST
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust) was organized on May 12, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at
$.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government Income Portfolio, and the
Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). OpCap Advisors (the "Adviser"), a
majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as the Trust's
investment adviser. The Trust is an investment vehicle for variable annuity and
variable life insurance contracts of various life insurance companies, and
qualified pension and retirement plans. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the
preparation of its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at cost on
the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant dollar amortization to
maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
initial cost of the security.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required. Federal income tax cost basis of
portfolio securities is the same as for financial reporting purposes.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of investments, the cost of investments sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as
earned. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or
amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.
Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at
least annually.
(E) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all applicable portfolios of the
Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with the
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .40%.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the advisory
fee necessary to limit total operating expenses of the Portfolio to 1.00% (net
of expense offsets) of average daily net assets on an annual basis.
(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and sales/maturities of
investment securities, were $46,988,455 and $46,273,740, respectively.
(4) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Oppenheimer Financial Corp., a holding company, holds a one-third interest
in Oppenheimer Capital and Oppenheimer Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership whose units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and of which
Oppenheimer Financial Corp. is the sole general partner, owns the remaining two-
thirds interest. On February 13, 1997, PIMCO Advisors L.P., a registered
investment adviser, signed a definitive agreement with Oppenheimer Group, Inc.
and its subsidiary Oppenheimer Financial Corp. for PIMCO Advisors L.P. and its
affiliate, Thomson Advisory Group, Inc., to acquire the one-third managing
general partner interest in Oppenheimer Capital and the 1.0% general partner
interest in Oppenheimer Capital L.P. The completion of the transaction is
subject to certain client, lender, IRS and other approvals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
OCC Accumulation Trust -- Money Market Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule 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 the Money Market Portfolio (one of
the seven portfolios constituting OCC Accumulation Trust, hereafter referred to
as the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1996, 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 the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio'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, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust) was organized on May 12, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, as a
diversified, open-ended management investment company. The Trust is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest
at $.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U.S. Government Income Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") and the Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (the "Adviser"), a
majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as the Trust's
investment adviser. The U.S. Government Income Portfolio one of the Trust's
seven portfolios, commenced operations on January 3, 1995. The Trust is an
investment vehicle for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts of
various life insurance companies, and qualified pension and retirement plans.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investment debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued
each business day by an independent pricing service (approved by the Board of
Trustees) using methods which include current market quotations from a major
market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed "matrix" prices. Short-term
debt securities having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost or amortized value which approximates market value. Any
securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available
are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Trustees. The ability of issuers of debt instruments to meet their obligations
may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of investments, the cost of investments sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as
earned. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or
amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.
Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at
least annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized capital gains, respectively. To the
extent distributions exceed current and

accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes, they are
reported as distributions of paid-in-capital or tax return of capital. At
December 31, 1996, the Portfolio did not have any permanent book-tax
differences.
(E) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all applicable portfolios of the
Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .60%.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the advisory
fee and to assume any necessary expenses to limit total operating expenses of
the Portfolio to 1.00% (net of expense offsets) of average daily net assets on
an annual basis.
(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the year ended December 31, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities, were $2,669,452 and $705,798,
respectively.
(4) UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) AND COST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an
excess of value over tax cost is $22,879, aggregate gross unrealized
depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value
is $9,001 and net unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purposes is
$13,878. Federal income tax cost basis of portfolio securities is $3,348,296 at
December 31, 1996.
(5) CAPITAL LOSS CARRY-FORWARD
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Portfolio incurred net realized
capital losses of $6,203 which are available as a reduction against future net
capital gains realized before the end of fiscal year 2004 to the extent provided
by regulations. To the extent that this capital loss carry-forward is used to
offset future net capital gains, it is possible that gains so offset will not be
distributed to shareholders.
(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Oppenheimer Financial Corp., a holding company, holds a one-third interest
in Oppenheimer Capital and Oppenheimer Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership whose units are traded on the New York Stock

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
OCC Accumulation Trust -- U.S. Government Income Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule 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 the U.S. Government Income
Portfolio (one of the seven portfolios constituting OCC Accumulation Trust,
hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1996, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period January 3,
1995 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Portfolio'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, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OCC Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") (formerly Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust was organized on May 12, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at
$.01 par value. The Trust is comprised of seven portfolios: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U.S. Government Income Portfolio and the
Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (the "Adviser"), a majority-owned (99%)
subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, serves as the Trust's investment adviser. The
Global Equity Portfolio, (the "Portfolio"), one of the Trust's seven portfolios,
commenced operations on March 1, 1995. The Trust is an investment vehicle for
variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts of various insurance
companies and qualified pension and retirement plans. The following is a summary
of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the
preparation of its financial statements:
(A) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Investment securities listed on a U.S. or foreign stock exchange or traded
in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued each business day at
the last reported sale price; if there are no such reported sales, the
securities are valued at their last quoted bid price. Other securities traded
over-the-counter and not part of the National Market System are valued at the
last quoted bid price. Investment debt securities (other than short-term
obligations) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service
(approved by the Board of Trustees) using methods which include current market
quotations from a major market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed
"matrix" prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of sixty
days or less are valued at amortized cost or amortized value, which approximates
market value. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Trustees. Investments in countries in which the Portfolio may
invest may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated
with domestic investments as a result of, among others, the possibility of
future political and economic developments and the level of governmental
supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of securities, the cost of securities sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and other
distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends or
other distributions from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the
information is available after the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued
as earned.
(D) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars as
follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities, other
assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated at the
exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases, sales, income and
expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective
dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included
in the Portfolio's Statement of Operations. Since the net assets of the
Portfolio are

OCC ACCUMULATION TRUST
GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(D) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION (CONTINUED)
presented at the foreign exchange rates and market prices at the close of the
period, the Portfolio does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
arising as a result of changes in the exchange rates from fluctuations arising
from changes in the market price of securities.
(E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and
net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their Federal tax-basis treatment: temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized capital gains, respectively. To the
extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for
Federal income tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-
in-capital or tax return of capital.
The following table discloses the cumulative effect of differences
reclassified from accumulated net realized foreign currency loss and accumulated
net realized loss on investments to accumulated undistributed net investment
income:

<S> <C> <C>
$9,649 $4,959 ($14,608)
</TABLE>
(F) ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its net
assets in relation to the total net assets of all the applicable portfolios of
the Trust or another reasonable basis.
(G) CUSTODY OFFSETS
The Portfolio benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian bank where uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly
fees. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they
would have generated income for the Portfolio.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
(A) The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to the
Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as of the
close of business each day at the annual rate of .80% on the first $400 million,
.75% on the next $400 million and .70% thereafter.
The Adviser has agreed to waive that portion of the advisory fee necessary
to limit total operating expenses of the Portfolio to 1.25% (net of expense
offsets) of average daily net assets on an annual basis.

For the year ended December 31, 1996 purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities, were $15,233,328 and $3,081,962,
respectively.
(4) UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) AND COST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an
excess of value over tax cost is $1,780,424, aggregate gross unrealized
depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value
is $386,458 and net unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purposes is
$1,393,966. Federal income tax cost basis of portfolio securities is $16,561,209
at December 31, 1996.
(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Oppenheimer Financial Corp., a holding company, holds a one-third interest
in Oppenheimer Capital and Oppenheimer Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership whose units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and of which
Oppenheimer Financial Corp. is the sole general partner, owns the remaining two-
thirds interest. On February 13, 1997, PIMCO Advisors L.P., a registered
investment adviser, signed a definitive agreement with Oppenheimer Group, Inc.
and its subsidiary Oppenheimer Financial Corp. for PIMCO Advisors L.P. and its
affiliate, Thomson Advisory Group, Inc., to acquire the one-third managing
general partner interest in Oppenheimer Capital and the 1.0% general partner
interest in Oppenheimer Capital L.P. The completion of the transaction is
subject to certain client, lender, IRS and other approvals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
OCC Accumulation Trust - Global Equity Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule 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 the Global Equity Portfolio (one of
the seven portfolios constituting OCC Accumulation Trust, hereafter referred to
as the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1996, the results of its operations for the
year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights
for the year then ended and for the period March 1, 1995 (commencement of
operations) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Portfolio'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, 1996 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
