N-30D 1 dn30d.htm CENTENNIAL MONEY MARKET TRUST CENTENNIAL MONEY MARKET TRUST
Dear Shareholder:
 
During the recent six-month period that ended December 31, 2000, Centennial Money Market Trust produced an annualized yield of 6.07%, and an annualized yield including the effects of compounding of 6.25% for the six-month period. The Trust’s seven-day and compounded seven-day yields on December 31, 2000, were 6.00% and 6.18%, respectively. 1
 
Although the Trust is managed to emphasize liquidity and safety, these returns were higher than those reported six months ago, due primarily to the impact of higher short-term interest rates during the period.
 
Interest rates were driven higher by a series of short-term interest rate hikes initiated by the Federal Reserve Board (“the Fed”) in late 1999 and early 2000. The Fed raised rates a total of six times during that period in an effort to avert inflation and slow the overheated U.S. economy, culminating in an aggressive half-point increase in mid-May 2000. Although the last of these rate hikes occurred before the period began, expectations of further raises maintained upward pressure on bond yields for much of the period.
 
In mid-2000, the Fed’s strategy began showing initial signs of success, as the nation’s
overall levels of manufacturing output and
housing sales eased. Evidence mounted throughout the period that the pace of economic growth had indeed begun to moderate. However, during the reporting period, the Fed kept rates steady—as a check on inflationary pressures resulting from a continuing tight labor market and rising energy prices.
 
We took advantage of these conditions by lengthening the Trust’s average maturity. During the reporting period, the Trust’s average maturity lengthened from approximately 44 days to approximately
50 days. This move enabled us to lock in favorable yields at a time when we believe rates have reached a plateau and may be poised to fall. At the same time, we were careful to purchase longer maturity securities only after careful analysis of their structure and the Trust’s current investment needs.
 
In terms of security selection, we made opportunistic purchases of floating rate notes when they were available at attractive rates. However, spreads or differences in yields within our investment universe narrowed significantly during the period, and floating rate notes were particularly vulnerable to these conditions. As a result, they proved relatively unattractive at various times throughout the period.
 
An investment in the Trust is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Trust may seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Trust.
 
1.  Compounded yields assume reinvestment of dividends. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
 
We were able to find attractive yields in select, asset-backed commercial paper.
Analytical expertise is the key to adding value through such investments. Oppenheimer’s experienced analysts enabled us to limit our purchases to what we believed were well-structured, highly liquid asset-backed programs typically offering a three- to five-basis-point advantage over comparable commercial paper issued by corporations. Among commercial paper investments, which comprised most of our remaining holdings, we sought to avoid troubled and volatile industries, such as telecommunications, in favor of high-quality financial services companies, particularly broker-dealers.
 
As of the end of the period, there remains little doubt that the Fed’s inflation-taming strategy has succeeded in cooling off the economy. Given recent evidence of slowing consumer and business spending, the key concern facing today’s markets is whether or not the strategy has worked too well. However, we believe the underlying economic fundamentals remain sound, with inflation in check. In addition, to bolster the slowing economy, the Fed recently began reversing the direction of its monetary policy by reducing interest rates.
In this environment, we continue to look for opportunities to increase the Trust’s yield, consistent with our focus on liquidity and safety.
 
In closing, we’d like to thank you for your continued confidence and participation in the Trust. We look forward to helping you reach your financial goals. That’s what makes Centennial Money Market Trust an important part of The Right Way to Invest.
 
Sincerely,

Centennial Money Market Trust
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Centennial Money Market Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek the maximum current income that is consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity. The Trust’s investment advisor is Centennial Asset Management Corporation (the Manager), a subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust.
 
Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are
valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Trust requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian’s vault, all securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.
 
Federal Taxes. The Trust intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Trust.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Trust which provides for a fee of 0.50% of the first $250 million of the Trust’s net assets; 0.475% of the next $250 million; 0.45% of the next $250 million; 0.425% of the next $250 million; 0.40% of the next $250 million; 0.375% of the next $250 million; 0.35% of the next $500 million; and 0.325% of net assets in excess of $2 billion. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Trust if aggregate expenses (with specified exceptions) exceed the lesser of 1.5% of the average annual net assets of the Trust up to $30 million and 1% of its average annual net assets in excess of $30 million; or 25% of the total annual investment income of the Trust. The Trust’s management fee for the six months ended December 31, 2000, was an annualized rate of 0.34%, before any waiver by the Manager
if applicable.
 
Transfer Agent Fees. Shareholder Services, Inc. (SSI), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Trust. Prior to January 1, 2001, SSI performed these services on an at-cost basis. Beginning January 2001, SSI is paid at an agreed upon per account fee.
 
Service Plan Fees. Under an approved service plan, the Trust may expend up to 0.20% of its average annual net assets annually to reimburse the Manager, as distributor, for costs incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the Trust, including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
 
4. Illiquid or Restricted Securities
 
As of December 31, 2000, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Trust intends to invest no more than 5% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of December 31, 2000, was $856,982,605, which represents 4.27% of the Trust’s net assets, of which $138,000,000 is considered restricted.
