FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.
Management Discussion of Fund Performance. For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund produced total returns that were lower than that of its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) did fare well in Lipper Inc.’s Loan Participation Funds category, finishing #9 out of 42 funds ranked, or in the 21st percentile.1 We attribute the Fund’s relative performance to the effects of heightened volatility in the bank loan market and credit problems affecting individual holdings in the consumer products and financials sectors.
     In the midst of persistently unsettled economic and market conditions throughout the reporting period, we maintained a generally defensive investment strategy, de-emphasizing loans from issuers in industry groups—such as retailers, consumer products, finance and housing—that we regarded as relatively sensitive to macroeconomic factors. Instead, we focused primarily on loans from issuers in less cyclical areas, including the health care and energy sectors. In addition, the Fund held no exposure to troubled sub-prime mortgages during the reporting period.
     This sector allocation strategy enabled the Fund to participate more fully in some of the bank loan market’s better performing areas, while sheltering it from the full brunt of weakness among the laggards. Overweighted positions in the energy, health care and cable-and-broadcasting sectors proved particularly beneficial to the Fund’s relative performance. However, the positive effects of our sector allocations were offset by shortfalls in our security selection strategy, as credit issues among individual holdings in the building materials and consumer products areas detracted from relative performance. In addition, the need to raise cash for shareholder redemptions resulted in the sale of some loans at relatively low prices.
     As of the reporting period’s end, we have maintained the Fund’s generally defensive investment posture. As we have seen some evidence of recovery in market conditions over the second half of the reporting period, we are, albeit selectively, taking a more proactive approach to capturing opportunities among fundamentally sound loans that may have been punished too severely during the downturn.
 
1.   Lipper Inc., 7/31/08. Lipper ranking is for Class A shares and ranking may include more than one share class of funds in the category, including other share classes of this Fund. Ranking is based on total return as of 7/31/08, without considering sales charges. Different share classes may have different expenses and performance characteristics. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

NOTES
Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. 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. The Fund’s investment advisor had previously voluntarily undertaken to waive 0.20% of its management fee. Effective January 1, 2006, that waiver was reduced from 0.20% to 0.10%. This waiver can be further modified or terminated at any time by the advisor. Without that waiver, Fund performance would have been lower. 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 or industry sectors does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund is a continuously offered closed-end fund whose shares are not listed on any stock exchange or national quotation service. The Fund’s shares are not redeemable for cash daily but the Fund seeks to provide a degree of liquidity to shareholder by making quarterly offers to repurchase a portion of the Fund’s shares. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to repurchase all shares tendered in a particular repurchase offer. Shares of the Fund are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Shares of the Fund will fluctuate and the Fund is not a money market fund.

Class A shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 9/8/99. Unless otherwise noted, Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 3.50%.
Class B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 9/8/99. Unless otherwise noted, Class B total returns are shown net of the applicable early withdrawal charge of 3% (first year), 2% (second year), 1.5% (third and fourth years) and 1% (fifth year). Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B returns for the life of the class do not include any early withdrawal charges and use Class A performance for the period after conversion. Class B shares are subject to an annual 0.50% asset-based sales charge.
Class C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 9/8/99. Unless otherwise noted, Class C shares are shown net of the applicable 1% early withdrawal charge for the 1-year period. Class C shares are subject to an annual 0.50% asset-based sales charge.
Class Y shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/28/05. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors under a special agreement with the Distributor, and to present or former officers, directors, trustees or employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager, its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals.
An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

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, early withdreawal 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 July 31, 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), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in
12 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND

 


 

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.

Class Y
    1,000.00       1,019.64       5.29  
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 July 31, 2008 are as follows:
         
Class   Expense Ratios
Class A
    1.07 %
Class B
    1.67  
Class C
    1.56  
Class Y
    1.05  
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager and Transfer Agent 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund seeks as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in senior floating rate loans and other debt securities. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C 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 and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge but may be subject to an early withdrawal charge (“EWC”). Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a EWC, 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 and C shares 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 end of the month in which you purchase them.
     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® 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 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

F23 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
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.
Senior Loans. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in floating rate Senior Loans made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities. The Fund will do so either as an original lender or as a purchaser of a loan assignment or a participation interest in a loan. While most of these loans will be collateralized, the Fund can also under normal market conditions invest up to 10% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in uncollateralized floating rate Senior Loans. Senior Loans are often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and refinancing of borrowers. The Senior Loans pay interest at rates that float above (or are adjusted periodically based on) a benchmark that reflects current interest rates. Senior Loans generally are not listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system and no active trading market exists for many Senior Loans. As a result, many Senior Loans are illiquid, meaning the Fund may not be able to value them accurately or to sell them quickly at a fair price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain Senior Loans, the market may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.
     As of July 31, 2008, securities with an aggregate market value of $1,859,495,003, representing 93.54% of the Fund’s net assets were comprised of Senior Loans, of which $404,920,189 representing 20.37% of the Fund’s net assets, were illiquid.
Security Credit Risk. Senior loans are subject to credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the borrower under a senior loan to make interest and principal payments as they become due. The Fund’s investments in senior loans are subject to risk of default. As of July 31, 2008, securities with an aggregate market value of $34,979,214, representing 1.76% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.
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

F24 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

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.
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.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

2.   As of July 31, 2008, the Fund had $159,781,502 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
3.   During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
4.   During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
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.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for July 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The 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 July 31, 2008 are noted in the following table. 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 or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. 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

F26 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

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. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. 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 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.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
Each quarter the Fund intends to make a “Repurchase Offer” to repurchase a portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares from shareholders. The Repurchase Offers are designed to provide some liquidity for Fund investors who wish to sell some or all of their shares. The Fund has adopted the following fundamental policies concerning periodic repurchase offers:
    The Fund will make periodic Repurchase Offers, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as that rule may be amended from time to time).
 
    Repurchase offers shall be made at periodic intervals of three months between repurchase request deadlines. The deadlines will be at the time on a regular business day (normally the last regular business day) in the months of January, April, July and October to be determined by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
 
    The repurchase pricing date for a particular Repurchase Offer shall be not more than 14 days after the repurchase request deadline for the repurchase offer. If that day is not a regular business day, then the repurchase pricing date will be the following business day.
Each quarter, the Fund’s Board will determine the number of shares that the Fund will offer to repurchase in a particular Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer amount will be at least 5% but not more than 25% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Fund (in the aggregate) outstanding on the repurchase request deadline. If shareholders tender more than the Repurchase Offer amount for a particular Repurchase Offer, the Fund may repurchase up to an additional 2% of the shares outstanding on the repurchase request deadline.
For the year ended July 31, 2008, the Fund extended four Repurchase Offers:
                         
    Percentage of     Amount of

F29 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
     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.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B and Class C 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 up to 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares. The Board of Trustees has currently set that fee rate at 0.50% of average annual net assets of the respective class per year under each plan but may increase it up to 0.75% in the future. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B or Class C 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 June 30, 2008 for Class B and Class C shares were $7,132,866 and $39,974,810, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and early withdrawal charges (“EWC”) 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 EWC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective January 1, 2006, the Manager reduced its voluntary waiver of management fees from 0.20% of average annual net assets to 0.10% of average annual net assets. As a result of this agreement, the Fund was reimbursed $2,776,656 for the year ended July 31, 2008. The Manager may amend or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time.
     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. During the year ended July 31, 2008, OFS waived $46 for Class Y shares. 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 year ended July 31, 2008, the Manager waived $162,658 for IMMF management fees.
     During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Manager voluntarily reimbursed the Fund $68,855 for certain transactions. The payment increased the Fund’s total return by less than 0.01%.
5. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The value of the contracts is separately disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of entering into swap contracts include credit, market and liquidity risk. 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. Market risk is the risk that the value of the contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the reference asset. If there is an illiquid market for the agreement, the Fund may be unable to close the contract prior to contract termination.

F31 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. Swap Contracts Continued
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps on a single security, or a basket of securities.
     In a credit default swap contract, the purchaser of the contract will pay a periodic interest fee, similar to an insurance premium, on the notional amount of the swap contract to the counterparty (the seller of the contract). If there is a credit event (for example, bankruptcy or a failure to timely pay interest or principal), the purchaser will exercise the contract and will receive a payment from the seller of the contract equal to the notional value of the credit default swap contract less the value of the underlying security. In the event that the credit default swap is exercised due to a credit event, the difference between the value of the underlying security and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of credit default swaps include, but are not limited to, the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events, or the cost of selling protection (paying the notional amount) when a credit event occurs, pricing transparency when assessing the cost of a credit default swap, and the need to fund the delivery obligation (either cash or defaulted securities).
     As of July 31, 2008, the Fund had no swap contracts outstanding.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of July 31, 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. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
7. Loan Commitments
Pursuant to the terms of certain credit agreements, the Fund has unfunded loan commitments of $1,185,154 at July 31, 2008. The Fund generally will maintain with its custodian, liquid investments having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of unfunded loan commitments. Commitments of $1,185,154 are contractually obligated to fund by a specified date and have been included as Corporate Loans in the Statement of Investments.
8. Borrowings
The Fund can borrow money from banks in an amount up to one third its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings. The Fund may borrow if necessary to obtain short-term credit to allow it to repurchase shares during Repurchase Offers, to manage cash flows, and to fund additional purchase commitments under Senior Loans. The Fund may also borrow to acquire additional investments (a technique known as “leverage”). The use of leverage will subject the Fund to greater costs than funds that do not borrow for leverage, and may also make the Fund’s share price

F32 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

more sensitive to interest changes. Expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to interest on borrowings and commitment fees are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations.
     The Fund entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a conduit lender and a bank which enables it to participate with certain other Oppenheimer funds in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion, collectively. To secure the loan, the Fund pledges investment securities in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Interest is charged to the Fund, based on its borrowings, at current commercial paper issuance rates (2.7228% as of July 31, 2008). The Fund pays additional fees annually to its lender on its outstanding borrowings to manage and administer the facility and is allocated its pro-rata share of an annual commitment fee for a liquidity backstop facility with respect to the total facility size. The Fund has the right to prepay such loans and terminate its participation in the conduit loan facility at any time upon prior notification.
Details of the borrowings for the year ended July 31, 2008 are as follows:
         
Average Daily Loan Balance
  $ 57,760,656  
Average Daily Interest Rate
    4.9880 %
Fees Paid
  $ 580,509  
Interest Paid
  $ 3,341,906  
As of July 31, 2008, the Fund had no borrowings outstanding.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the 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 July 31, 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.
     In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

10. Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

F34 | OPPENHEIMER SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND


 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of July 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2008, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2008, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2007. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
     None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
     Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 which are not designated as capital gain distributions, may be eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. In early 2008, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates. The amount will be the maximum amount allowed.
     Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, $182,018,495 or 97.01% of the ordinary distributions paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.
     The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
          The Fund’s portfolio is managed by Arthur J. Zimmer, Joseph Welsh and Margaret Hui who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments
          Mr. Welsh has been a manager of the Fund’s portfolio since September 1999. Mr. Welsh has been a Vice President of the Manager since December 2000, a high yield bond analyst since January 1995, an Assistant Vice President of the Manager from December 1996 to November 2000 and a Vice President of HarbourView Asset Management Corporation since September 2002.
          Ms. Hui has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since October 1999, a Vice President of the Fund since August 2007 and a Vice President of the Manager since February 2005. Ms. Hui was an assistant Vice President of the Fund from October 1999 to August 2007 and was an Assistant Vice President of the Manager from October 1999 to February 2005. The Fund’s portfolio is managed by Arthur J. Zimmer, Joseph Welsh and Margaret Hui who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments.
In addition to managing the Fund’s investment portfolio, each Portfolio Manager also manages other investment portfolios and other accounts on behalf of the Manager or its affiliates. The following table provides information regarding the other portfolios and accounts managed by each Portfolio Manager as of July 31, 2008.

1.   In millions.
 
2.   Does not include personal accounts of portfolio managers and their families, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.
As indicated above, the Portfolio Managers also manage other funds and accounts. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with the interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment strategies of the other fund or account are the same as, or different from, the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies. For example, the Portfolio Managers may need to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and another fund or account having

 


 

similar objectives or strategies, or he may need to execute transactions for another fund or account that could have a negative impact on the value of securities held by the Fund. Not all funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If the management fee structure of another fund or account is more advantageous to the Manager than the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an incentive to favor the other fund or account. However, the Manager’s compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager’s fiduciary obligations to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Managers from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so. At different times, the Fund’s Portfolio Managers may manage other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to those of the Fund, or may manage funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are different from those of the Fund.
The Fund’s Portfolio Managers are employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager’s compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, their compensation is based primarily on the investment performance results of the funds and accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers and analysts interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders. The Manager’s compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of July 31, 2008 the Portfolio Managers’ compensation consisted of three elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term awards of options and appreciation rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager’s holding company parent. Senior portfolio managers may also be eligible to participate in the Manager’s deferred compensation plan.
To help the Manager attract and retain talent, the base pay component of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of the particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions. The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the Manager and is based on a number of factors, including a fund’s pre-tax performance for periods of up to five years, measured against an appropriate Lipper benchmark selected by management. The Lipper benchmark with respect to the Fund is Lipper — Loan Participation Funds. Other factors considered include management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Managers’ compensation is not based on the total value of the Fund’s portfolio assets, although the Fund’s investment performance may increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers. The compensation structure of the other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers is the same as the compensation structure of the Fund, described above.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Fund’s Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the Respective Boards
1.   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:
    the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended;
 
    a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940;
 
    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
 
    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 07/31/2008, 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.
Item 12. Exhibits.

  (3)   Not applicable.
(b)   Exhibit attached hereto.
