WIXTED TITLE TREASURER EX-23 2 ex23-320.txt OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND 2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Shareholders and Board of Trustees Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund: In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2009, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, 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. Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of August 31, 2009. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and 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 October 20, 2009 EX-99.77E LEGAL 3 ex77e-320.txt OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND N-SAR EXHIBIT 77E Pending Litigation. During 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain funds in the Oppenheimer family of funds (the "Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. Additionally, a lawsuit has been brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust, and other lawsuits have been brought in state court against the Manager and that subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. All of these lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seeks compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. Other lawsuits have been filed in 2008 and 2009 in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm ("Madoff") and allege 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 an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff. The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds' Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. The Manager believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it and that no estimate can be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. The Manager also believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund.
