We experienced a range of emotions in the days leading up to the war and especially as the media brought the war into our homes, as never before. At OppenheimerFunds, we face the difficult task of looking beyond the war to see its long-term impact, together with other factors, on the global economy, the financial markets and, in the end, your investment with us. It's a responsibility that we take very seriously and becomes our primary focus during uncertain times like these. It is our strong belief that investors can be well served by this professional insight and by the guidance provided by a financial advisor. In partnership with OppenheimerFunds, your financial advisor can help you navigate through this volatile and sometimes unpredictable environment. We encourage you to continue to work closely with your advisor to develop and implement an investment plan that fits your goals and risk tolerance. On our end, we continue to be the home to some of the most experienced and talented investment professionals in the industry. They remain focused on proven methods that drive informed, intelligent investment decisions. It is an approach we are proud of and one that has served investors well in a variety of market conditions. We've found that in good times and bad, the fundamental principles of investing remain key for financial success. These principles-- investing according to your goals, diversifying your portfolio and benefiting from the value of professional investment advice--are simple ideas that have proven themselves over time, and, we believe, will prove themselves again. We thank you for your continued confidence in OppenheimerFunds and encourage you to visit our website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or speak with your advisor for up to date information on your investments and the markets.

MURPHY President Oppenheimer MidCap Fund -------------------------------------------------------- Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders -------------------------------------------------------- 1 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGER Q How would you characterize the Fund's performance during the six-month period that ended April 30, 2003? A. The Fund delivered slightly below average performance during a difficult period. 1 Returns were undermined by high levels of market volatility generated by unpredictable geopolitical events and a shaky transition from recession to gradual growth. We believe these results generally reflect short-term market fluctuations rather than the broader trends responsible for the Fund's longer-term performance. We believe our long-term record of performance demonstrates the enduring value of our disciplined approach to growth investing, which focuses on a company's ability to sustain true internal revenue growth. What made this such a challenging period for stocks? Conflicting economic and political forces battered markets during the past six months. On the positive side, the U.S. economy showed signs of modest growth, while interest rates remained low and inflation remained in check. On the negative side, corporate capital spending remained weak, consumer sentiment declined and geopolitical uncertainties sapped investor confidence. These conditions created high levels of volatility, with stock prices rising and falling in response to international political developments as well as company-specific business results. The market's volatility was also reflected in abrupt shifts in sentiment with regard to various industries and sectors. For example, technology and health care stocks tended to move in opposite directions at any one moment, depending on whether the news of the day encouraged growth investors to hold a more strongly positive or negative economic outlook. As optimism rose, investors shifted assets into technology stocks they believed were more likely to benefit from economic gains. As prospects for growth dimmed, growth investors sought shelter Portfolio Manager Bruce Bartlett 1. The Fund's performance is compared to the S&P MidCap 400 Index, an unmanaged index of midcap equity securities, which had a six-month return of 3.98% for the period ended 4/30/03. -------------------------------------------------------- Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders -------------------------------------------------------- 2 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND in the traditionally defensive health care area. These shifts drove individual stock prices sharply higher and lower, often without any reference to a company's underlying fundamentals. How did you manage the Fund under these conditions? We focused on stocks of companies with strong earnings growth generated by increasing sales. We believe that sales-driven earnings growth is intrinsically more sustainable than growth that is driven primarily by acquisitions or accounting gimmicks. Among stocks that met our investment criteria, we emphasized those we believed could maintain revenue growth during this difficult economic period. By focusing on the quality rather than the magnitude of a company's growth, we cushioned the impact of market volatility on the Fund, while avoiding many of the market's sharpest losses. We also maintained the Fund's concentration on mid-cap stocks. Mid-cap companies generally provide greater growth potential than larger companies and lower risks of failure than smaller companies, thereby offering the best of both worlds. Our company-by-company stock selection approach led us to concentrate a relatively high percentage of assets in the areas of health care, consumer and technology, each of which resulted in positive contributions to the Fund's relative performance in the last six months. Health care proved to be the Fund's largest single area of investment, because that's where we found the largest number of companies generating the kind of sustainable, internal revenue growth we target. Key holdings included equipment suppliers, such as Varian Medical Systems, Inc., and biotechnology companies, such as Gilead Sciences, Inc. While we sold some positions in drug distribution companies that experienced a slowdown in revenue growth, we added to other positions, such as Biomet, Inc., that were generating above-average, sales-driven earnings growth. In the consumer area, we succeeded in identifying several strong-performers despite weakness in consumer sentiment and seasonally -------------------------------------------------------- Not part of the semiannual report to Fund shareholders -------------------------------------------------------- 3 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGER disappointing sales experienced by many leading companies. Above-average holdings ranged from natural foods retailers, such as Whole Foods Market, Inc., to upscale apparel and accessories companies, such as Coach, Inc. Among technology stocks, we emphasized companies that stand at a favorable point in their product cycle, such as wireless equipment manufacturers (e.g., UTStarcom, Inc.), semiconductor makers (Marvell Technology Group Ltd.), and software security developers (Symantec Corp.). On the other hand, the Fund sustained steeper-than-average losses in the areas of industrials and financials. Both of these areas were adversely affected by the market volatility and sector rotation trends mentioned earlier, as well as weakening fundamentals among some of the Fund's individual holdings. We responded by reducing the Fund's exposure to companies that showed disappointing levels of growth. What is your outlook for the future? While short-term growth prospects are likely to face continuing geopolitical and economic pressures, longer-term prospects appear favorable. Many of the inventory excesses that inhibited technology growth in the past two years have run their course, while low interest rates are likely to encourage companies to reinvest in their business infrastructure. On the health care front, positive regulatory developments have opened the door to new drug approvals. As always, we remain sharply focused on the underlying fundamentals that we believe are the most reliable indicators of a company's long-term growth prospects. Our disciplined strategy of building the portfolio one company and one investment at a time has earned Oppenheimer MidCap Fund its exceptional record of performance, and makes the Fund a continuing part of The Right Way to Invest.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 17 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer MidCap 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 seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment advisor 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. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges. 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. 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. 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 (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith under 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). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joint Repurchase Agreements. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds of the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. 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; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. 18 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of April 30, 2003, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an estimated unused capital loss carryforward of $1,236,791,274. This estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased for losses deferred under tax accounting rules for 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 April 30, 2003, the Fund did not use carryforward to offset capital gains realized. During the year ended October 31, 2002, the Fund did not use carryforward to offset capital gains realized. As of October 31, 2002, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows: Expiring ---------------------- 2006 $ 2,792,572 2007 3,516,822 2008 142,020,390 2009 764,990,986 2010 237,892,098 -------------- Total $1,151,212,868 ============== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustees' Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the six months ended April 30, 2003, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were decreased by $4,304 and payments of $3,871 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $139,896 as of April 30, 2003. 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, the compensation deferred is invested by the Fund in the fund(s) 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. 19 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classification of Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. 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. No distributions were paid during the six months ended April 30, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2002. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Shares of Beneficial Interest The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows: Six Months Ended April 30, 2003 Year Ended October 31, 2002 Shares Amount Shares Amount -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A Sold 4,114,279 $ 45,766,376 10,246,014 $ 140,041,291 Redeemed (5,206,092) (57,480,757) (16,353,774) (219,545,138) --------------------------------------------------------------- Net decrease (1,091,813) $(11,714,381) (6,107,760) $ (79,503,847) =============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class B Sold 1,990,184 $ 21,198,964 5,434,402 $ 72,796,103 Redeemed (3,542,899) (37,551,006) (10,300,242) (132,657,060) --------------------------------------------------------------- Net decrease (1,552,715) $(16,352,042) (4,865,840) $ (59,860,957) =============================================================== 20 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND Six Months Ended April 30, 2003 Year Ended October 31, 2002 Shares Amount Shares Amount -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class C Sold 1,044,223 $ 11,096,891 2,545,426 $ 33,944,222 Redeemed (1,163,927) (12,300,190) (4,128,477) (53,180,986) --------------------------------------------------------------- Net decrease (119,704) $ (1,203,299) (1,583,051) $(19,236,764) =============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class N Sold 315,808 $ 3,475,070 900,502 $ 11,916,305 Redeemed (118,536) (1,296,392) (281,019) (3,453,917) --------------------------------------------------------------- Net increase 197,272 $ 2,178,678 619,483 $ 8,462,388 =============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class Y Sold 479,549 $ 5,330,470 505,761 $ 7,112,046 Redeemed (102,216) (1,151,746) (196,412) (2,703,018) --------------------------------------------------------------- Net increase 377,333 $ 4,178,724 309,349 $ 4,409,028 =============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a $19.75 per account fee. 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. 21 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. 22 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND Distribution fees paid to the Distributor for the six months ended April 30, 2003, were as follows: Distributor's Distributor's Aggregate Aggregate Unreimbursed Unreimbursed Expenses as % Total Payments Amount Retained Expenses of Net Assets Under Plan by Distributor Under Plan of Class -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class B Plan $1,353,875 $1,061,684 $18,995,716 6.89% Class C Plan 395,076 93,886 3,186,207 3.87 Class N Plan 23,922 20,255 233,329 2.09 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. 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. 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 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 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 April 30, 2003 was as follows: Call Options ------------------------- Number of Amount of Contracts Premiums ---------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding as of October 31, 2002 -- $ -- Options written 1,300 191,097 Options closed or expired (1,300) (191,097) ---------------------- Options outstanding as of April 30, 2003 -- $ -- ====================== 23 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Illiquid or Restricted Securities As of April 30, 2003, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also 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 or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of April 30, 2003 was $543,874, which represents 0.08% of the Fund's net assets, all of which is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Borrowing and Lending Arrangements Bank Borrowings. The Fund had the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes. Asset coverage for borrowings must be at least 300%. The Fund and other Oppenheimer funds participated in a $400 million unsecured line of credit from a bank, for liquidity purposes. Under that line of credit, each fund was charged interest on its borrowings at a rate equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.45%. The Fund paid a commitment fee on its pro rata share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum. The credit facility was terminated on November 12, 2002, when the Fund entered into the interfund borrowing and lending arrangements described below. The Fund had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility through November 12, 2002. 24 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interfund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements. Commencing November 12, 2002, 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 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. 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 investment 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 April 30, 2003. 25 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustees and Officers Thomas W.
