The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of March 30, 2012,
and are subject to change. All securities except for those labeled “unrated” have been rated by at
least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as Standard &
Poor’s (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
“Manager”) converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a
rating to a security, the highest rating is used. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate
low credit quality.
For the purposes of this Credit Allocation table, “investment-grade” securities are securities
rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories, which include AAA, AA, A and BBB.
Securities not rated by an NRSRO may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. For further
details, please consult the Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? ? Below is a discussion of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal
year ended March 30, 2012, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to
appropriate broad-based market indices1.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. In a 12-month period characterized by low new issuance
at the outset and a very strong rally at the end, the Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester North
Carolina Municipal Fund produced an annual total return of 20.93% at net asset value (15.19% with
sales charge).
Oppenheimer Rochester North Carolina Municipal Fund distributed 63.6 cents per Class A share
this reporting period, including a small amount of taxable income at the end of 2011. The Fund’s
distributions may have increased an investor’s exposure to AMT for investors subject to that tax.
The charts on pages 14 to 17 show the Fund’s performance. We encourage investors to remain
focused on their long-term financial objectives for high levels of tax-free income, and we believe
that this Fund’s investments offer structural advantages over the long term.
Securities of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which are exempt from federal, state and local
income taxes, represented 40.6% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 30, 2012, and contributed
favorably to the Fund’s total return this reporting period. Most of the Fund’s investments in the
securities issued by Puerto Rico issuers are supported by taxes and other revenues and are designed
to help finance electric utilities, highways and education.
During this reporting period, the market continued to react favorably to the fiscal
improvements that have been championed by Governor Luis Fortuño. His administration has proposed
another deficit budget for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2012, but has lowered the size
of the deficit relative to spending considerably in recent years. Puerto Rico’s ability to access
the credit markets was evident in June 2011, when it issued its first new-money general obligation
bonds in nearly 3 years. Late in 2011, the Commonwealth was able to borrow more than $1 billion.
The muni market has also reacted well to the new leadership at the Commonwealth’s financing arm,
the Government Development Bank (GDB). Juan Carlos Batlle became the GDB’s president in March and
José Otero-Freiria became the GDB’s debt-financing chief. The Commonwealth, its agencies and the
GDB retained their investment-grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s
Investor Service this reporting period.
As of March 30, 2012, the Fund was invested in the hospital/health care sector, representing
17.9% of the Fund’s total assets. Our holdings in this sector consist of securities across the

credit spectrum. The sector remained in the news this reporting period as politicians, lobbyists,
activists and others argued about the viability of the Affordable Care Act of 2010; the debates
have not changed our perspective that our disciplined, security-specific approach to credit
research can uncover many potentially advantageous opportunities for the Fund in this and other
sectors. The hospital/health care sector contributed strongly to the Fund’s total return this
reporting period.
The Fund continued to favor the higher education sector this reporting period, which
represented 11.1% of the Fund’s total assets as of March 30, 2012, and were positive contributors
to the Fund’s performance this reporting period. The investment-grade bonds we hold in this sector
have regularly provided high levels of tax-free income with what we believe to be far less credit
risk than their external ratings would suggest.
Municipal bonds backed by proceeds from the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), the
national litigation settlement with U.S. tobacco manufacturers, represented 9.2% of the Fund’s
total assets as of March 30, 2012.2
We like that “tobacco bonds” qualify for tax exemption and benefit the issuing states and
territories, and we believe they are fundamentally sound credits. Our long-term view of the sector
remains bullish and, given attractive valuations, we will likely continue to hold a greater
percentage of tobacco bonds in our portfolios than our peers. As in prior reporting periods, the
tobacco bonds this Fund held during this reporting period made all scheduled payments of interest
and principal on time and in full. Investors should note that we remain confident that the sector
can continue to provide high levels of tax-free income to the long-term benefit of our
yield-seeking investors.
As of March 30, 2012, the Fund’s holdings in the sales tax revenue sector represented 8.6% of
the Fund’s total assets. Debt-service payments on securities in this sector are paid using the
issuing municipality’s sales tax revenues. An investment in this sector requires Fund managers to
consider the economic conditions that a municipality has experienced and will likely experience as
well as the aggregate face value of the sales tax revenue
|
|
|

Investments in “tobacco bonds,” which are backed by the proceeds a state or territory receives
from the 1998 national litigation settlement with tobacco manufacturers, may be vulnerable to
economic and/or legislative events that affect issuers in a particular municipal market sector.
Annual payments by MSA-participating manufacturers, for example, hinge on many factors, including
annual domestic cigarette shipments, inflation and the relative market share of non-participating
manufacturers. To date, we believe consumption figures remain within an acceptable range of the
assumptions used to structure MSA bonds. Future MSA payments could be reduced if consumption were
to fall more rapidly than originally forecast. |

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
bonds being issued relative to the municipality’s historic and likely sales tax balances. This
sector contributed positively to the Fund’s total return this reporting period.
The adult living facilities sector, which held 7.5% of the Fund’s total assets at the end of
this reporting period, was a favorable contributor to the Fund’s total return. These bonds finance
various projects at senior living centers and tend to outperform in densely populated geographies
with strong real estate values.
General obligation debt, which is backed by the full faith and taxing authority of state and
local governments, constituted 6.6% of the Fund’s total assets as of March 30, 2012. While many
municipalities faced budget challenges this reporting period, elected officials consistently
safeguarded the debt service payments on their general obligation bonds. This sector also
contributed positively to the Fund’s total return this reporting period.
The Fund continued to be invested in both the sewer and electric utilities sector,
representing 5.3% and 5.2% of the Fund’s total assets respectively, at the end of this reporting
period. Our holdings in these sectors consist of securities in the mid-range of the credit
spectrum. The overall fundamentals in these sectors remained stable this reporting period,
contributing to positive results.
The Fund’s airline holdings represented 5.1% of total assets as of March 30, 2012. Many of the
Fund’s holdings are backed by a security interest in the airport terminal buildings or maintenance
facilities whose construction they finance and, as a result, these bonds offer investors valuable
collateral. In late November 2011, AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, filed
for bankruptcy protection. While the filing itself was largely expected, the timing came as a
surprise to the market. As a result, prices of AMR’s equity and bond offerings declined. We
anticipate that many of AMR’s obligations will be maintained through the bankruptcy period, and
many of them will either be restructured or resolved at prices that are currently reflected by the
market and already incorporated into the Fund’s net asset values. Investors should also know that
we would not expect this bankruptcy to be resolved in the short term. These proceedings—as
exemplified by past filings, most notably Northwest Airlines in 2005—can take 2 years or more to
be fully resolved. The news developments related to AMR caused this sector to be a detractor from
performance in this reporting period.
During this reporting period, the Fund remained invested in municipal inverse-floating rate
securities, which are tax-exempt securities with interest payments that move inversely to changes
in short-term interest rates. “Inverse floaters” generally offer higher tax-free yields than
fixed-rate bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality, but they face greater price volatility,
too. During this reporting period, inverse floaters provided attractive levels of
12 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
tax-free income and contributed favorably to the Fund’s total return. This outcome illustrates why
we continue to believe that inverse floaters belong in our fund portfolios.
Our approach to municipal bond investing is flexible and responsive to market conditions.
Shareholders should note that market conditions during this reporting period did not affect the
Fund’s overall investment objectives or cause it to pay any capital gain distributions. In closing,
we believe that the Fund’s structure and sector composition as well as our time-tested strategies
will continue to benefit long-term investors through interest rate and economic cycles.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a
hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Class of shares of the Fund held until March 30, 2012. In
the case of Class A, Class B and Class C shares, performance is measured from the inception of the
Classes on October 10, 2006. In the case of Class Y shares, performance is measured from the
inception of the Class on July 29, 2011. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the
maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on
Class B and Class C shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions.
Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of that of the Barclays Capital
Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged index of a broad range of investment-grade municipal bonds that
is a measure of the general municipal bond market. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of
dividends but does not consider the effect of capital gains or transaction costs, and none of the
data in the graphs that follow shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance is also compared
to the Consumer Price Index, a non-securities index that measures changes in the inflation rate.
The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of Fund business and operating expenses. While index
comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that
the Fund’s investments are not limited to the securities comprising the indices.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs,
which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on
redemptions and (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 March 30, 2012.
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 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.

36 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Rochester North Carolina Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The
investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current interest income exempt from
federal and North Carolina state income taxes for individual investors as is consistent with
preservation of capital. 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 a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge (“CDSC”). Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries
without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges
on their accountholders who beneficially own Class Y shares. 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 under which they pay fees. Class Y shares do not pay
such fees. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of
purchase. Class Y shares were first publicly offered on July 29, 2011.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Fund.
Fiscal Year End. The last day of the Fund’s fiscal year was the last day the New York Stock
Exchange was open for trading. The Fund’s financial statements have been presented through that
date to maintain consistency with the Fund’s net asset value calculations used for shareholder
transactions.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities that pay
interest at a rate that varies inversely with short-term interest rates. Because inverse floating
rate securities are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floating rate security will
change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations
than the market value of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of similar maturity and
credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floating rate security.
An inverse floating rate security is created as part of a financial transaction referred to as
a “tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund
sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a broker dealer (the
“sponsor”). The sponsor creates a trust (the “Trust”) into which it deposits the underlying
municipal bond. The Trust then issues and sells short-term floating rate securities with a fixed
principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying
37 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
municipal bond to third parties and a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond (referred to as an “inverse floating rate security”) to the Fund. The interest rate on the
short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a prevailing market
rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the
Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”)
periodically, usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to
re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price.
If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the tendered short-term floating rate
securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust (typically an affiliate of the sponsor) must
contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of
their securities on the repurchase date.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate securities are granted the right to tender
their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with
such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear
short-term rates of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on
the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s
administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the short-term floating rate securities,
with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floating rate
security. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the
Fund is inversely related the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities.
Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and
is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any
change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to
the value of the inverse floating rate security.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floating rate security grant certain rights to the Fund, as
holder. For example, the Fund may have the right upon request to require that the Trust compel a
tender of the short-term floating rate securities to facilitate the Fund’s acquisition of the
underlying municipal bond. Following such a request, the Fund pays the Trust the purchase price of
the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion of any market value gain on the
underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust, which the Trust uses to redeem the
short-term floating rate securities. The Trust then distributes the underlying municipal bond to
the Fund. Similarly, the Fund may have the right to directly purchase the underlying municipal bond
from the Trust by paying to the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities
and a specified portion of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit
into the Trust, which the Trust uses to redeem the short-term floating rate securities. Through the
exercise of either of these rights, the Fund can voluntarily terminate or “collapse” the Trust,
terminate its investment in the related inverse floating rate security and obtain the underlying
municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange
38 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a
corresponding additional principal amount of the inverse floating rate security or (ii) a principal
amount of the inverse floating rate security held by the Fund for a corresponding additional
principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other
investors). Through the exercise of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal
amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the
amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the Fund’s investment
exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floating rate securities involve certain risks. As
short-term interest rates rise, an inverse floating rate security produces less current income
(and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, an inverse
floating rate security produces more current income. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after
the issuance of the inverse floating rate security, any yield advantage is reduced or eliminated.
All inverse floating rate securities entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding
principal amount of the related short-term floating rate securities. The value of, and income
earned on, an inverse floating rate security that has a higher degree of leverage will fluctuate
more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of
the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floating rate security with a lower
degree of leverage, and is more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions.
Changes in the value of an inverse floating rate security will also be more significant than
changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided
by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floating
rate security to changes in interest rates and to the market value of the underlying municipal
bond. An inverse floating rate security can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds
when the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates is decreasing (or is already
small) or when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate
municipal bonds when the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates is increasing
(or is already large) or when long-term interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option
bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the
occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory tender events” or “tender
option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of
the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the
underlying municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the
inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities
that have been tendered for repurchase by holders thereof. Following the occurrence of such an
event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds
distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floating rate
security, with the holder of the inverse floating rate security (the Fund) generally receiving the
proceeds of such sale only after
39 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase
price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to
the Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that the holders of the short-term floating rate
securities receive the purchase price of their securities in connection with such termination of
the Trust). Following the occurrence of such events, the Fund could potentially lose the entire
amount of its investment in the inverse floating rate security.
Finally, the Fund may enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity
provider of certain tender option bond transactions in connection with certain inverse floating
rate securities held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity
provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a Trust, including
following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.”
In connection with the occurrence of such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered
thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the
negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the
purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Under the standard
terms of a tender option bond transaction, absent such a shortfall/reimbursement agreement, the
Fund, as holder of the inverse floating rate security, would not be required to make such a
reimbursement payment to the liquidity provider. The Manager monitors the Fund’s potential exposure
with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the
Fund’s investment in related inverse floating rate securities, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
As of March 30, 2012, the Fund’s maximum exposure under such agreements is estimated at $8,000,000.
When the Fund creates an inverse floating rate security in a tender option bond transaction by
selling an underlying municipal bond to a sponsor for deposit into a Trust, the transaction is
considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting
treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as
an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floating rate security on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of
Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the
related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest on the underlying
municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while
interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest
expense. At March 30, 2012, municipal bond holdings with a value of $17,257,920 shown on the Fund’s
Statement of Investments are held by such Trusts and serve as the underlying municipal bonds for
the related $8,000,000 in short-term floating rate securities issued and outstanding at that date.
At March 30, 2012, the inverse floating rate securities associated with tender option bond
transactions accounted for as secured borrowings were as follows:

The Fund may also purchase an inverse floating rate security created as part of a tender option
bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or
financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting
purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floating rate security related to such transaction on its
Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and interest
on the security is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities with any degree of leverage (as
measured by the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities).
However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage from its
investments in inverse floating rate securities. This limitation is measured by comparing the
aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the
inverse floating rate securities held by the Fund to the total assets of the Fund. The Fund’s
exposure to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floating rate securities
amounts to $8,000,000 or 6.73% of its total assets as of March 30, 2012.
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a
greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or
principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities that have missed an
interest payment, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying
obligors subsequently miss an interest payment. Information concerning securities not accruing
interest as of March 30, 2012 is as follows:

Concentration Risk. There are certain risks arising from geographic concentration in any state,
commonwealth or territory. Certain economic, regulatory or political developments occurring in the
state, commonwealth or territory may impair the ability of certain issuers of municipal securities
to pay principal and interest on their obligations.
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
41 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
shares based upon the relative proportion of net
assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are
charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company
taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss
carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The
statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three
preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
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.

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 March 31, 2012. Net assets of the
Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the
Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee
during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants
effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze
Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of
the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the
Plan. During the year ended March 30, 2012, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to
retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that
enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are
entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under
the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts

had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other
Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for
deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset
equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other”
within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees
under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the
Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until
distributed in accordance with 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. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which
are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest
expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period.
Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from
cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest
to its custodian on such cash overdraft at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00% . The
“Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances
maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be
paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and
officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the
performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter
into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the
Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

2. 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.
Valuation Methods and inputs
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily
by third party pricing services or dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the
types of securities described below:
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded
derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the
security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, 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 current day’s closing “bid” and “asked”
prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded
on a foreign exchange but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange is valued based on
the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the
third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are
valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official
closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official
closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between
the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two
dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the
security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1)
using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single
dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at
that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt
securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage
obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked”
prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who
may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.
Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity 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. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in
excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing
evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described
above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does
not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that
would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a
standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as
previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good
faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies
include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and
subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an
appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further
adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such
methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities,
observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those
securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if
it were to sell the security.
Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the
significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining
the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are
categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
|
1) |
|
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
|
2) |
|
Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs
such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
46 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
|
3) |
|
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability). |
The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks
associated with investing in those securities.

Administration Service Fees. The Fund pays the Manager a fee of $1,500 per year for preparing and
filing the Fund’s tax returns.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the
transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the
year ended March 30, 2012, the Fund paid $57,756 to OFS for services to the Fund.
48 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10
million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per
account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the
minimum fees.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the
Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal
underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses
the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold
Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily
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 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares daily net assets. 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. Fees incurred by the Fund under the
Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated
expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated
expenses under the Plans at March 30, 2012 were as follows:

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

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive management fees
and/or reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or
reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses”, excluding interest and fees from borrowings
and interest and related expenses from inverse floaters, would not exceed 0.80% of average annual
net assets for Class A shares, 1.55% of average annual net assets for both Class B and Class C
shares and 0.80% of average annual net assets for Class Y shares. During the year ended March 30,
2012, the Manager reimbursed $71,328, $6,671 and $50,539 for Class A, Class B and Class C shares,
respectively.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for Classes
B, C and Y shares to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class; this limit also applied to Class
A shares prior to June 1, 2011. Effective June 1, 2011, OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit its
fees for Class A shares to 0.30% of average annual net assets of the class.
Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified
or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.
6. Borrowings
The Fund can borrow money from banks in amounts up to one third of its total assets (including the
amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings. The Fund can use
those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing portfolio securities. The Fund
also may borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
The Fund can also use the borrowings for other investment-related purposes, including in
connection with the Fund’s inverse floater investments as discussed in Note 1. The Fund may use the
borrowings to reduce the leverage amount of, or unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued “inverse
floaters” owned by the Fund, or in circumstances in which the Fund has entered into a shortfall and
forbearance agreement with the sponsor of the inverse floater trust to meet the Fund’s obligation
to reimburse the sponsor of the inverse floater for the difference between the liquidation value of
the underlying bond and the amount due to holders of the short-term floating rate notes issued by
the Trust. See the discussion in Note 1 (Inverse Floating Rate Securities) for additional
information.
50 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund. 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 more sensitive to interest changes. The interest on borrowed money
is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield. 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 conduit
lenders and Citibank N.A. which enables it to participate with certain other Oppenheimer funds in a
committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings of up to $2.0 billion, collectively,
by the Oppenheimer Rochester Funds. To secure the loan, the Fund pledges investment securities in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover
these borrowings are noted in the Statement of Investments. Interest is charged to the Fund, based
on its borrowings, at current commercial paper issuance rates (0.2824% as of March 30, 2012). 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 structuring fee and
ongoing commitment fees both of which are based on the total facility size. Total fees and interest
that are included in expenses on the Fund’s Statement of Operations related to its participation in
the borrowing facility during the year ended March 30, 2012 equal 0.04% of the Fund’s average net
assets on an annualized basis. The Fund has the right to prepay such loans and terminate its
participation in the conduit loan facility at any time upon prior notice.
As of March 30, 2012, the Fund had no borrowings outstanding. Details of the borrowings for the
year ended March 30, 2012 are as follows:

7. Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale of
one or more securities to a counterparty at an agreed-upon purchase price with the simultaneous
agreement to repurchase those securities on a future date at a higher repurchase price. The
repurchase price represents the repayment of the purchase price and interest accrued thereon over
the term of the repurchase agreement. The cash received by the Fund in connection with a reverse
repurchase agreement may be used for investment-related purposes such as purchasing portfolio
securities or for other purposes such as those described in the preceding “Borrowings” note.
The Fund entered into a Committed Repurchase Transaction Facility (the “Facility”) with J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC (the “counterparty’’) which enables it to participate with certain other
Oppenheimer funds in a committed reverse repurchase agreement facility that permits aggregate
outstanding reverse repurchase agreements of up to $750 million, collectively.
51 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
7. Reverse Repurchase Agreements Continued
Interest is charged to the Fund on the purchase price of outstanding reverse repurchase agreements
at current LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread. The Fund is also allocated its pro-rata share of
an annual structuring fee based on the total Facility size and ongoing commitment fees based on the
total unused amount of the Facility. The Fund retains the economic exposure to fluctuations in the
value of securities subject to reverse repurchase agreements under the Facility and therefore these
transactions are considered secured borrowings for financial reporting purposes. The Fund also
continues to receive the economic benefit of interest payments received on securities subject to
reverse repurchase agreements, in the form of a direct payment from the counterparty. These
payments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Total fees and interest
related to the Fund’s participation in the Facility during the year ended March 30, 2012 are
included in expenses on the Fund’s Statement of Operations and equal 0.01% of the Fund’s average
net assets on an annualized basis.
The securities subject to reverse repurchase agreements under the Facility are valued on a
daily basis. To the extent this value, after adjusting for certain margin requirements of the
Facility, exceeds the cash proceeds received, the Fund may request the counterparty to return
securities equal in margin value to this excess. To the extent that the cash proceeds received
exceed the margin value of the securities subject to the transaction, the counterparty may request
additional securities from the Fund. The Fund has the right to declare the first or fifteenth day
of any calendar month as the repurchase date for any outstanding reverse repurchase agreement upon
delivery of advanced notification and may also recall any security subject to such a transaction by
substituting eligible securities of equal or greater margin value according to the Facility’s
terms.
The Fund executed no transactions under the Facility during the year ended March 30, 2012.
8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action, derivative and individual lawsuits have been pending in
federal and state courts against OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the
“Manager”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor
(the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by the Manager and
distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). Several of these lawsuits also name as
defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The
lawsuits raise claims under federal securities laws and various states’ securities, consumer
protection and common law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the
respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective
Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek
unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
52 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and
federal courts against the Manager and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover
investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his
firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that
they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of
the Manager and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and
regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’
fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds,
their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the
Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February
28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action
lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the
settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of
appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. On July 29, 2011, a stipulation of
settlement between certain affiliates of the Manager and the Trustee appointed under the Securities
Investor Protection Act to liquidate BLMIS was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to resolve purported preference and fraudulent transfer claims by the Trustee.
On September 22, 2011, the court entered an order approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and
adequate. In October 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving
the settlement. The aforementioned settlements do not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against
the Manager and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an
affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by
the Manager’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV.
Plaintiffs allege breach of contract against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs
and disbursements, including attorney fees. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state
court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark
I”), an entity advised by the Manager’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the
plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and
seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011,
a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and
AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by the Manager’s affiliate, in
connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of
contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including
attorney fees.
53 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
8. Pending Litigation Continued
The Manager believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the
exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’
Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former
Independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the
outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the
suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair
the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and
that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations
of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.
54 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Rochester North Carolina Municipal Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Rochester North
Carolina Municipal Fund, including the statement of investments, as of March 30, 2012, and the
related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes
in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the years in the five-year 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of March 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by
other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 Oppenheimer Rochester North Carolina
Municipal Fund as of March 30, 2012, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended,
and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CREDIT ALLOCATION Unaudited
This table provides further information regarding the “Unrated” securities category shown in the
“Credit Allocation-Credit Rating Breakdown” table located earlier in this report. The third column
below titled “Unrated by a NRSRO; Internally Rated by the Manager” shows the credit allocation of
Unrated securities as determined by the Fund’s investment adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
“Manager”). These internally rated securities are not rated by any nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (NRSRO), such as Standard & Poor’s.
The Manager determines the credit allocation of these securities using its own credit analysis
to assign ratings using a rating scale or categories similar to that used by S&P. The Manager is
not required to, and does not attempt to, employ the same credit analysis process, procedures or
methodologies used by S&P or any other NRSRO in assigning a credit rating to an Unrated security.
There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Manager’s credit analysis process is
consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process that would be used by S&P or any other
NRSRO if it were to rate the same security. Securities rated investment-grade or above by the
Manager may or may not be the equivalent to an investment grade or above rating assigned by an
NRSRO. More information about the Manager’s internal credit analysis process for Unrated (or
internally-rated) securities and securities ratings is contained in the Fund’s Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information.
The second column below titled “NRSRO-Rated” shows the ratings by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations (NRSROs), such as Standard & Poor’s. For securities rated by an
NRSRO other than S&P, the Manager converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more
NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest rating is used.
The credit allocations below are as of March 30, 2012 and are subject to change. The
percentages are based on total assets and the market value of the Fund’s securities as of March 30,
2012 and are subject to change; market value does not include cash. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are
investment-grade ratings.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2012, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends
and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2011.
None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012 are
eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. 99.83% of the dividends were derived from
interest on municipal bonds and are not subject to federal income taxes. To the extent a
shareholder is subject to any state or local tax laws, some or all of the dividends received may be
taxable.
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.
57 | OPPENHEIMER ROCHESTER NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL FUND
PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited
The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes
proxies relating to securities (“portfolio proxies”) held by the Fund. 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. CALL-OPP (225-5677), (ii) on the Fund’s website at
oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund is
required to file 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 Fund’s voting record is available (i) without
charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800. CALL-OPP (225-5677), and (ii) in the
Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first quarter

Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be
obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of
your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy
of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual
report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your
fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive
from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an
OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple
copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800. CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in
writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if
available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your
request to stop householding.

If you visit oppenheimerfunds.com and do not log on to the secure account information areas, we do
not obtain any personal information about you. When you do log on to a secure area, we do obtain
your user ID and password to identify you. We also use this information to provide you with

We do not collect personal information through our website unless you willingly provide it to us,
either directly by email or in those areas of the website that request information. In order to
update your personal information (including your mailing address, email address and phone number)
you must first log on and visit your user profile.
If you have set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. However,
doing so may limit your access to certain sections of our website.
We use cookies to help us improve and manage our website. For example, cookies help us recognize

your investments to help us, our financial service affiliates, or firms that jointly market their

PRIVACY POLICY NOTICE
Internet Security and Encryption
In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and
private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/or personal
information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure
website.
As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and
we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take
advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this,
you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
We do not guarantee or warrant that any part of our website, including files available for
download, are free of viruses or other harmful code. It is your responsibility to take appropriate
precautions, such as use of an anti-virus software package, to protect your computer hardware and
software.
• |
|
All transactions, including redemptions, exchanges and purchases, are secured by SSL and
128-bit encryption. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between your PC and
OppenheimerFunds’ server. It transmits information in an encrypted and scrambled format. |
|
• |
|
Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code
and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your
television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while
it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles
the data. |

You can exit the secure area by either closing your browser, or for added security, you can
use the Log Out button before you close your browser. |
Other Security Measures
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal account
information. Our employees and agents have access to that information only so that they may offer
you products or provide services, for example, when responding to your account questions.
How You Can Help
You can also do your part to keep your account information private and to prevent unauthorized
transactions. If you obtain a user ID and password for your account, do not allow it to be used by
anyone else. Also, take special precautions when accessing your account on a computer used by
others.

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 3/30/2012, 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.
