WIXTED TITLE TREASURER EX-23 2 ex23-320.txt CAPITAL APPRECIATION AUDIT LETTER The Board of Trustees and Shareholders Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund: In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) for the year ended August 31, 2004, we considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, which we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of August 31, 2004. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the board of trustees of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. KPMG LLP Denver, Colorado September 22, 2004 EX-99 3 ex99-320.txt CAPITAL APPRECIATION ROCSOP ROCSOP-Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund 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 August 31, 2004. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The Complaints in these actions, ALEXANDER V. OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC., ET AL.; GROBLER V. OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC., ET AL.; HENDON, ET AL . V. OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC. ET AL.; LESHYN V. OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC., ET AL.; ERICKSON, ET AL. V. OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC., ET AL.; and CROSS, ET AL. V. OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC., ET AL., were filed on August 31, 2004, September 3, 2004, September 14, 2004, September 14, 2004, September 21, 2004 and September 22, 2004, respectively (collectively, the "Complaints"). The Complaints allege violations by the Oppenheimer defendants of Sections 34(b), 36(b) and 48(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Sections 206 and 215 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as well as breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment relating to fund brokerage and distribution expenses. The relief sought includes compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, rescission of investment advisory contracts, and an order for an accounting, plus costs and attorneys fees. The Oppenheimer defendants believe that the allegations contained in the Complaints are without merit and that they, the named Oppenheimer funds named as Nominal Defendants, and the directors/trustees of the Oppenheimer funds who are named as Defendants have meritorious defenses against the claims asserted. The Oppenheimer defendants intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously and to contest any claimed liability, and they have retained legal counsel to defend such suits. The Oppenheimer defendants believe that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
