Cumulative total returns are not annualized. The Fund's total returns shown do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual's investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, AND OTHER CHARGES AND EXPENSES CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS CONTAINS THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND, AND MAY BE OBTAINED BY ASKING YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CALLING US AT 1.800.525.7048 OR VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM. READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. The Fund's investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. CLASS A shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/18/96. Unless otherwise noted, Class A returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. CLASS B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/18/96. Unless otherwise noted, Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year). Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Class B shares are subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge. CLASS C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/18/96. Unless otherwise noted, Class C returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for 1-year period. Class C shares are subject to a 0.75% annual asset-based sales charge. CLASS N shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 3/1/01. Class N shares are offered only through retirement plans. Unless otherwise noted, Class N returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Class N shares are subject to an annual 0.25% asset-based sales charge. CLASS Y shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 9/7/05. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors under special agreements with the Distributor. An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. 12 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND FUND EXPENSES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUND EXPENSES. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended February 29, 2008. ACTUAL EXPENSES. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions 13 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND FUND EXPENSES Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- described in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the "hypothetical" section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended February 29, 2008 are as follows:
CLASS EXPENSE RATIOS ---------------------------- Class A 1.24% ---------------------------- Class B 2.02 ---------------------------- Class C 1.98 ---------------------------- Class N 1.66 ---------------------------- Class Y 0.94
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund's Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The "Financial Highlights" tables in the Fund's financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable. 14 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS February 29, 2008 / Unaudited --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 32 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to aggressively seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager"). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase. The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. SECURITIES VALUATION. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Securities may be valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ R are valued based on the closing price reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices, and if not, at the closing bid price.Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service, prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal exchange. Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed 33 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued securities will be valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the acquired investment company's net asset value per share. "Money market-type" debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees. Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT IN OPPENHEIMER INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUND. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund ("IMMF") to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund's investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF's Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in IMMF. 34 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts on a daily basis. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis 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 comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund's tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. As of February 29, 2008, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an estimated capital loss carryforward of zero. This estimated capital loss carryforward represents carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased for losses deferred under tax accounting rules to the current fiscal year and is increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended February 29, 2008, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $3,338,946 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. As of August 31, 2007, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes post-October foreign currency losses of $3,338,946. 35 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued The approximate aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of February 29, 2008 are noted below. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses. Federal tax cost of securities $ 8,095,462,091 Federal tax cost of other investments 109,899,194 --------------- Total federal tax cost $ 8,205,361,285 =============== Gross unrealized appreciation $ 3,611,060,304 Gross unrealized depreciation (455,728,288) --------------- Net unrealized appreciation $ 3,155,332,016 ===============
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the "Plan") for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the "Freeze Date") and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the six months ended February 29, 2008, the Fund's projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows: Projected Benefit Obligations Increased $ 3,093 Payments Made to Retired Trustees 67,222 Accumulated Liability as of February 29, 2008 563,609
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of "Other" within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 36 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CUSTODIAN FEES. "Custodian fees and expenses" in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The "Reduction to custodian expenses" line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INDEMNIFICATIONS. The Fund's organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period.

PURCHASES SALES ---------------------------------------------------------- Investment securities $ 3,060,749,743 $ 3,220,369,187
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES MANAGEMENT FEES. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
FEE SCHEDULE --------------------------------- Up to $250 million 1.00% Next $250 million 0.95 Next $500 million 0.90 Next $6 billion 0.85 Next $3 billion 0.80 Over $10 billion 0.75
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services ("OFS"), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the six months ended February 29, 2008, the Fund paid $7,340,876 to OFS for services to the Fund. Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12B-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's classes of shares. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the "Plan") for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations. 39 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Continued DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor's aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2007 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $397,292, $8,706,055 and $2,595,586, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SALES CHARGES. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in IMMF. During the six months ended February 29, 2008, the Manager waived $185,408 for IMMF management fees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts ("forward contracts") for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. 40 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND Foreign currency exchange contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. As of February 29, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding forward contracts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES AND CURRENCY As of February 29, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. SECURITIES LENDING The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of February 29, 2008, the Fund had on loan securities valued at $337,487,778. Collateral of $356,337,576 was received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently invested in approved instruments or held as cash. 41 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February 29, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period. 42 | OPPENHEIMER DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund.

The Fund's Governance Committee (the "Committee") will evaluate potential Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds' investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection. 2. The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individual's background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. 3. The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: o the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; o a statement concerning whether the person is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; o any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and o the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation. 4. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds' investment adviser) would be deemed an "interested person" under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person." 5. Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee of a registered investment company. ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Based on their evaluation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 02/29/2008, the registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no changes in the registrant's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
