FOOTNOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS 1. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid. See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements. 2. Securities with an aggregate market value of $23,132,321 are held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures sales contracts. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements. 3. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $8,939,615 or 1.66% of the Fund's net assets as of February 29, 2004. 4. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security. 5. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $454,190 or 0.08% of the Fund's net assets as of February 29, 2004. 6. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after February 29, 2004. See Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements. 7. A sufficient amount of liquid assets has been designated to cover outstanding written options, as follows:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Advisor). The Sub-Advisor is Oppenheimer Real Asset Management, Inc. (the Manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Advisor. 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. 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 by minor amounts due to each class having its own expenses directly attributable to that class. Classes 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 six years after the date of purchase. Effective March 15, 2004 the Fund will assess 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. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or other domestic or foreign exchanges 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 traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price provided 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 may be valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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 foreign exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value). 30 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRUCTURED NOTES. The Fund invests in commodity-linked structured notes whose market values and redemption prices are linked to commodity indices. The structured notes are leveraged, which increases the Fund's exposure to changes in prices of the overall commodities' markets and increases volatility of each note's market value relative to the change in the underlying commodity prices. Fluctuations in value of these securities related to the commodity exposure are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured note is sold or matures. As of February 29, 2004, the market value of these securities comprised 20.6% of the Fund's net assets, and resulted in unrealized gains of $28,889,674. The Fund also hedges a portion of the commodity exposure generated by these securities, as discussed in Note 5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES ON A WHEN ISSUED BASIS. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when issued basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends six months or more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of February 29, 2004, the Fund had entered into net when issued commitments of $109,406,129. In connection with its ability to purchase securities on a when issued basis, the Fund may enter into forward roll transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as fee income or realized gain (loss) on investments. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities to what was sold to the counterparty at redelivery; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-related pools. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Secured by U.S. government securities, 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. 31 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued In the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. As of February 29, 2004, the Fund had no estimated unused capital loss carryforward available for federal income tax purposes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation 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. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or are invested in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. 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 Plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT. The reduction of custodian fees, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 32 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees paid to the Advisor were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets, 0.90% of the next $200 million, 0.85% of the next $200 million, 0.80% of the next $200 million, and 0.75% of net assets in excess of $800 million.

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, 2004, the Fund paid $479,854 to OFS for services to the Fund. Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $5,000 for assets of less than $10 million and $10,000 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. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees up to an annual rate of 0.35% of average annual net assets for all classes. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 for Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate 34 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial institutions for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who 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 years. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of these shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B shares and on Class C shares and 0.25% per year on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of up to 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 plan at February 29, 2004 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares was $2,218,750, $996,993 and $70,706, 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 table below for the period indicated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. FUTURES CONTRACTS A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly based securities indices "financial futures", debt securities "interest rate futures" and various commodities "commodity index futures" inherent in the Fund's holdings of structured notes. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. 35 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. FUTURES CONTRACTS Continued The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in interest rates and the resulting negative effect on the value of fixed rate portfolio securities, decreases in market value of portfolio securities, or decreases in commodity prices. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts without owning the underlying fixed-income security as an efficient or cost effective means to gain exposure to changes in interest rates, commodity prices or market indices. The Fund will then either purchase the underlying fixed-income security or close out the futures contract. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations as closing and expiration of futures contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. As of February 29, 2004, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. OPTION ACTIVITY The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities. The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. 37 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. OPTION ACTIVITY Continued Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Operations. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security or commodity increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security or commodity decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Written option activity for the six months ended February 29, 2004 was as follows: CALL OPTIONS PUT OPTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMBER OF AMOUNT OF NUMBER OF AMOUNT OF CONTRACTS PREMIUMS CONTRACTS PREMIUMS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding as of August 31, 2003 100 $ 17,875 172 $ 37,670 Options written 1,431 650,234 991 275,485 Options closed or expired (770) (175,013) (949) (272,500) Options exercised (661) (393,471) (49) (5,024) ----------------------------------------------- Options outstanding as of February 29, 2004 100 $ 99,625 165 $ 35,631 =============================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. TOTAL RETURN SWAP CONTRACTS The Fund may enter into a total return swap transaction to maintain a total return on a particular investment, or portion of its portfolio, or for other non-speculative purposes. Because the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as notional. The Fund records an increase or decrease to interest income, in the amount due to or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement. Total return swaps are subject to risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations). As of February 29, 2004, the Fund had entered into the following total return swap agreements:

38 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. ILLIQUID SECURITIES As of February 29, 2004, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. The aggregate value of illiquid securities subject to this limitation as of February 29, 2004 was $1,635,588, which represents 0.30% of the Fund's net assets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. BORROWING AND LENDING ARRANGEMENTS The Fund entered into an "interfund borrowing and lending arrangement" with other funds in the Oppenheimer funds complex, to allow funds to borrow for liquidity purposes. The arrangement was initiated pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to allow these affiliated funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other, in an attempt to reduce borrowing costs below those of bank loan facilities. The SEC's order requires the Fund's Board of Trustees to adopt operating policies and procedures to administer interfund borrowing and lending. Under the arrangement the Fund may lend money to other Oppenheimer funds and may borrow from other Oppenheimer funds at a rate set by the Fund's Board of Trustees, based upon a recommendation by the Manager. The Fund's borrowings, if any, are subject to asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act and the provisions of the SEC order and other applicable regulations. If the Fund borrows money, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day's notice, in which case the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at higher rates if a loan were not available from another Oppenheimer fund. If the Fund lends money to another fund, it will be subject to the risk that the other fund might not repay the loan in a timely manner, or at all. The Fund had no interfund borrowings or loans outstanding during the six months ended or at February 29, 2004. 39 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 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. A description of the Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.225.5677, (ii) on the Fund's website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund will be required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The first such filing is due no later than August 31, 2004, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004. Once filed, the Fund's Form N-PX filing will be available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.225.5677, and (ii) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. 40 | OPPENHEIMER REAL ASSET FUND ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT The Board of Trustees of the registrant has determined that Edward L. Cameron, the Chairman of the Board's Audit Committee, and George C. Bowen, a member of the Board's Audit Committee, possess the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as "audit committee financial experts," and has designated Messrs. Cameron and Bowen as the Audit Committee's financial experts. Messrs. Cameron and Bowen are "independent" Trustees pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR. ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES Not applicable to semiannual reports. ITEM 5. NOT APPLICABLE ITEM 6. RESERVED ITEM 7. NOT APPLICABLE ITEM 8. NOT APPLICABLE ITEM 9. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS The Board is responsible for approving nominees for election as trustees. To assist in this task, the Board has designated the Audit Committee as the nominating committee for the Board. It reviews and recommends nominees to the Board. The Committee is comprised entirely of disinterested trustees as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Audit Committee charter describes the responsibilities of the Committee in nominating candidates for election as independent Trustees of the Registrant. The Registrant's Board has adopted a written charter for the Committee. A current copy of the Audit Committee charter is available to shareholders on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Under the current policy, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is likely to exist on the Board, the Audit Committee of the Board will consider candidates for Board membership including recommended by Registrant shareholders. The Audit Committee will consider nominees recommended by independent Board members or recommended by any other Board members including Board members affiliated with the Registrant's investment advisors. The Committee may, upon Board approval, retain an executive search firm to assist in screening potential candidates. Upon Board approval, the Audit Committee may also use the services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary or desirable in the screening process. Shareholders wishing to submit a nominee for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission to the offices of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 6803 South Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112, to the attention of the Board of Trustees of the named Registrant, c/o the Secretary of the Registrant. The Committee's process for identifying and evaluating nominees for trustee includes a number of factors. In screening candidates for board membership, whether the candidate is suggested by Board members, shareholders or others, the Committee considers the candidate's professional experience, soundness of judgment, integrity, ability to make independent, analytical inquiries, collegiality, willingness and ability to devote the time required to perform Board activities adequately, ability to represent the interests of all shareholders of the Registrant, and diversity relative to the board's composition. Candidates are expected to provide a mix of attributes, experience, perspective and skills necessary to effectively advance the interests of shareholders. ITEM 10. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Based on their evaluation of registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-2(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-2(c)) as of February 29, 2004, registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer found registrant's disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by 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. (b) There have been no significant changes in registrant's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal half-year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
