                                   SYNOPSIS

     This is  only a  summary  and is  qualified  in its  entirety  by the  more
detailed information  contained in or incorporated by reference in this combined
Prospectus  and Proxy  Statement and by the  Reorganization  Agreement  which is
attached as Exhibit A. Shareholders  should carefully review this Prospectus and
Proxy  Statement  and the  Reorganization  Agreement in their  entirety  and, in
particular,  the Prospectus of Capital  Appreciation Fund which accompanies this
Prospectus and Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

     What am I being asked to vote on?

     You are being asked by the Board of Trustees of Emerging  Technologies Fund
to approve the reorganization of your Fund, Emerging Technologies Fund, with and
into Capital  Appreciation Fund (each individually a "Fund" and collectively the
"Funds").   If   shareholders   of  Emerging   Technologies   Fund  approve  the
Reorganization,  substantially  all of the assets of Emerging  Technologies Fund
will be transferred to Capital Appreciation Fund, in exchange for an equal value
of  shares  of  Capital   Appreciation   Fund  and  the  assumption  of  certain
liabilities,  if any, described in the Reorganization  Agreement.  The shares of
Capital Appreciation Fund will then be distributed to Emerging Technologies Fund
shareholders, and Emerging Technologies Fund will subsequently be liquidated. If
the  Reorganization is approved by shareholders of Emerging  Technologies  Fund,
you will no longer be a shareholder of Emerging Technologies Fund, and, instead,
will become a shareholder of Capital Appreciation Fund. This exchange will occur
on the Closing Date of the Reorganization.

     Approval  of the  Reorganization  means that as a  shareholder  in Emerging
Technologies  Fund,  you will receive  Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and/or
Class Y shares of Capital  Appreciation Fund, as the case may be, equal in value
to the  value  of the net  assets  of your  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  shares
transferred  to Capital  Appreciation  Fund on the Closing Date.  The shares you
receive  will be issued at net asset value  ("NAV")  without a sales  charge and
will not be subject to any additional contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC").
However,  any CDSC that applies to Emerging  Technologies  Fund shares as of the
date of the  exchange  will  carry  over to  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  shares
received in the Reorganization.

     In considering whether to approve the Reorganization,  you should consider,
among other things:

     (i) The number of  similarities  (as well as any  differences)  between the
Funds (as discussed  herein) and the relative  advantages and  disadvantages  of
each Fund.

     (ii) That the  Reorganization  would allow you the ability to continue your
investment  in a fund  that  closely  resembles  the  investment  style you were
seeking when you invested in Emerging Technologies Fund.

     Capital Appreciation Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment
company  organized as a Massachusetts  business trust in October 1987.  Emerging
Technologies  Fund is an open-end,  diversified  management  investment  company
originally  incorporated  in Maryland in 1978 but reorganized as a Massachusetts
business trust in August 1986. Emerging  Technologies Fund commenced  operations
on April 25, 2000. Capital Appreciation Fund commenced operations on January 22,
1981. As of May 31, 2007,  Emerging  Technologies  Fund had  approximately  $147
million in net assets and Capital  Appreciation  Fund had  approximately  $8.252
billion in net assets.

     Shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund are expected to realize a number
of  benefits   from  the  proposed   Reorganization.   The  assets  of  Emerging
Technologies Fund have been decreasing  significantly  since 2000,  resulting in
the Fund  spreading  its  operating  costs over a declining  asset base.  If the
Reorganization is approved,  shareholders would get the benefit of a larger fund
with lower  operating  expenses,  resulting  in you paying  significantly  lower
expenses as a shareholder of Capital  Appreciation Fund.  Furthermore,  although
performance  is not  indicative of future  results,  the  performance of Capital
Appreciation  Fund has  consistently  outperformed  the  performance of Emerging
Technologies  Fund.  Moreover,  the Funds'  investment  objectives  and  overall
strategy of investing in growth stocks focus on capital  appreciation.  (See the
discussion  in "Reasons  for the  Reorganization"  beginning on page 31 for more
details.)

     The Board of Emerging  Technologies  Fund reviewed and  discussed  with the
Manager and the Board's  independent legal counsel the proposed  Reorganization.
Information  with  respect  to,  but not  limited  to,  each  Fund's  respective
investment objectives and policies, management fees, distribution fees and other
operating expenses,  historical  performance and asset size, was also considered
by the Board of Emerging Technologies Fund.

     Based on the  considerations  discussed  above and the  reasons  more fully
described  under  "Reasons  for the  Reorganization"  (beginning  on  page  31),
together with other relevant factors and  information,  at a meeting held on May
17, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Emerging Technologies Fund concluded that the
Reorganization  would be in the  best  interests  of  shareholders  of  Emerging
Technologies  Fund and that the Fund  would not  experience  any  dilution  as a
result of the  Reorganization.  The Board of Trustees  of Emerging  Technologies
Fund  voted  to  approve  the  proposed  Reorganization  and to  recommend  that
shareholders approve the proposed Reorganization.

     The proposed  Reorganization  was also approved by the Board of Trustees of
Capital Appreciation Fund at a meeting held on May 17, 2007.


                THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
             TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

     What are the general tax consequences of the Reorganization?

     It is expected that  shareholders  of Emerging  Technologies  Fund will not
recognize  any gain or loss for federal  income tax  purposes as a result of the
exchange of their shares for shares of Capital  Appreciation  Fund.  You should,
however,  consult  your  tax  adviser  regarding  the  effect,  if  any,  of the
Reorganization  in light  of your  individual  circumstances.  You  should  also
consult your tax adviser about state and local tax consequences.

     For  federal  income tax  purposes,  the  holding  period of your  Emerging
Technologies  Fund shares will be carried over to the holding period for Capital
Appreciation Fund shares you receive in connection with the Reorganization. This
exchange  will  occur  on the  Closing  Date  (as such  term is  defined  in the
Reorganization Agreement) of the Reorganization.

     One of the requirements to qualify as a tax-free  reorganization  under the
Internal  Revenue Code is that a  significant  portion of the assets of Emerging
Technologies  Fund  continue to be used by Capital  Appreciation  Fund after the
Reorganization.  Due to common  holdings in both Funds,  it is expected that the
assets of Emerging Technologies Fund will satisfy this requirement. As a result,
prior to the  Reorganization,  it is not expected to be  necessary  for Emerging
Technologies  Fund to sell  portfolio  securities  that  do not  conform  to the
portfolio   securities  of  Capital   Appreciation  Fund  for  purposes  of  the
Reorganization. However, Emerging Technologies Fund may sell securities prior to
the  Reorganization  in the  ordinary  course  of its  business  as an  open-end
investment company. .

     For further  information about the tax consequences of the  Reorganization,
please  see  the  "Information  About  the   Reorganization--What  are  the  Tax
Consequences of the Reorganization?"

     How do the investment objectives and policies of the Funds compare?

investment strategies and other policies.

  for potentially high-growth emerging technology
  companies. A growth company or stock is one that is
  expected by the portfolio manager to experience rapid
  growth from strong sales, strong management and/or
  dominant market positions. The portfolio manager may
  consider a company's financial statements, interviews
  with management or an analysis of a company's operations
  and product developments. He may also evaluate research
  on particular industries, market trends and general
  economic conditions. The portfolio manager focuses on
  factors that may vary in particular cases and over time.
  Currently, he looks for:
           o   Companies with a track record of strong
               revenue;
           o   Companies with potentially strong revenue and
               earnings growth;
           o   Companies in their early growth phase
               having the potential to be market leaders;
               and/or
           o   Established companies that are well-positioned
               to take advantage of advances in the
               technology and related sectors.

           The portfolio manager employs a disciplined
  approach in deciding whether to sell particular
  portfolio securities. This approach may change over
  time. If a particular stock exhibits a material decrease
  in revenue and earnings growth, the portfolio manager
  will consider selling the stock. In addition, if the
  reason that the portfolio manager originally purchased
  the stock of a particular company materially changes,
  then he may also decide to sell the stock. The Fund is
  not required to dispose of the securities of companies
  that are no longer considered emerging technology
  companies after they have been purchased.

     As shown in the chart  above,  the Funds'  investment  objectives  focus on
capital  appreciation and each Fund uses a "growth"  investment style to achieve
its objective;  both Funds invest mainly in stocks of growth  companies  without
regard to capitalization  range.  Capital Appreciation Fund can invest in common
stocks of both newer and established foreign and U.S. companies that the Manager
believes may appreciate in value over time.  Emerging  Technologies Fund invests
mainly  in  stocks  that  the  manager   believes  will  benefit  from  emerging
technologies,  and can  invest in both U.S.  and  foreign  technology  companies
believed by the Manager to have significant growth potential.

     As of April  30,  2007,  100% of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund's  portfolio
consisted  of  common  stocks.  As  of  February  27,  2007,  99.2%  of  Capital
Appreciation  Fund's portfolio consisted of common stocks. Each Fund's portfolio
was allocated across the following sectors:*

     What are the fees and  expenses of each Fund and what are they  expected to
be after the Reorganization?

     Each Fund pays a variety  of  expenses  directly  for  management  of their
respective  assets,  administration  and/or  distribution  of  shares  and other
services. Those expenses are subtracted from each Fund's assets to calculate the
Fund's net asset value per share.  Shareholders  pay these expenses  indirectly.
Shareholders pay other expenses directly, such as sales charges.

     The tables below reflect the current  contractual  management  fee schedule
for each of the Funds and the proposed "pro forma"  management  fee schedule for
the surviving Capital  Appreciation  Fund upon the successful  completion of the
Reorganization.  The tables are provided to help you  understand and compare the
fees and expenses of  investing  in shares of each Fund.  The pro forma fees and
expenses  of the  surviving  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  show what the fees and
expenses are expected to be after giving effect to the Reorganization.

     "Other Expenses" in the tables include transfer agent fees, custodial fees,
and accounting  and legal expenses that each Fund pays. The "Other  Expenses" in
the tables are based on, among other things,  the fees each Fund would have paid
if the  transfer  agent had not  waived a portion  of its fee under a  voluntary
undertaking  to the  Funds to limit  these  fees to 0.35% of  average  daily net
assets per fiscal year for all classes.  For each Fund, that  undertaking may be
amended or withdrawn at any time.

     1. A Class A contingent  deferred  sales charge may apply to redemptions of
investments of $1 million or more or to certain retirement plan redemptions.
     2. The redemption fee applies to the proceeds of Emerging Technologies Fund
shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer
fund) within 30 days of their purchase.
     3. Applies to  redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The  contingent
deferred sales charge gradually  declines from 5% to 1% in years one through six
and is eliminated after that.
     4. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
     5. Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan's first
purchase of Class N shares.

Examples

     The  examples  below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in Emerging  Technologies  Fund,  Capital  Appreciation  Fund, and the surviving
Capital  Appreciation  Fund after the  Reorganization.  These examples assume an
annual  return for each class of 5%, the  operating  expenses  described  in the
tables above and reinvestment of your dividends and distributions.

     Your actual costs may be higher or lower  because  expenses  will vary over
time.  For each  $10,000  investment,  you  would  pay the  following  projected
expenses if you  redeemed  your  shares  after the number of years shown or held
your shares for the number of years shown  without  redeeming,  according to the
following examples.

     (1.) In the "If shares are redeemed" examples, expenses include the initial
sales  charge  for  Class A and the  applicable  Class  B,  Class C and  Class N
contingent deferred sales charges.
     (2.) Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses,
since Class B shares automatically convert to Class A 72 months after purchase.
     (3.) There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.
     (4.) In the "If shares  are not  redeemed"  examples,  the Class A expenses
include the initial sales  charge,  but Class B, Class C and Class N expenses do
not include the contingent deferred sales charges.

     What are the capitalizations of the Funds and what would the capitalization
be after the Reorganization?

     The following tables set forth the existing  capitalization  (unaudited) of
Emerging  Technologies Fund and Capital Appreciation Fund as of May 31, 2007 and
the pro forma combined capitalization of Capital Appreciation Fund as of May 31,
2007 as if the Reorganization had occurred on that date.

     How have the Funds performed?

     The  following  past  performance  information  for each  Fund is set forth
below:  (i) a bar chart showing  changes in each Fund's  performance for Class A
shares  from  year  to year  for the  last  ten  calendar  years  (or  less,  if
applicable)  and (ii) tables  detailing how the average  annual total returns of
each  Fund's  shares,  both  before  and  after  taxes,  compared  to  those  of
broad-based  market indices.  The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares
only and are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal
income  tax rates in effect  during the  periods  shown and do not  reflect  the
impact of state or local taxes.  The after-tax  returns are calculated  based on
certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax returns may
differ  from those  shown,  depending  on your  individual  tax  situation.  The
after-tax  returns set forth below are not relevant to investors  who hold their
fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to
institutional  investors not subject to tax. The past investment  performance of
either Fund,  before and after taxes,  is not  necessarily  an indication of how
either Fund will perform in the future.

     1. From 02/28/01.
     2. From 10/31/97.

     For each Fund, the average annual total returns  include  applicable  sales
charges:  for Class A, the current  maximum  initial sales charge of 5.75%;  for
Class B, the  contingent  deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-years);
and for Class C and Class N, the 1%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge for the
1-year  period.  There is no sales  charge for Class Y shares.  Because  Class B
shares   convert  to  Class  A  shares  72  months  after   purchase,   Class  B
"life-of-class"  performance  does not include  any  contingent  deferred  sales
charge and uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. The returns
measure the performance of a hypothetical  account and assume that all dividends
and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares.

     The performance of Emerging  Technologies Fund's Class A shares is compared
to the Lipper Science &  Technology Index, a composite performance of the 30
largest science and technology mutual funds, as categorized by Lipper Analytical
Services,  Inc.,  and the  S&P  500  Index,  an  unmanaged  index of  equity
securities  that  is a  measure  of  the  general  domestic  stock  market.  The
performance  of Capital  Appreciation  Fund's Class A shares also is compared to
the S&P 500 Index. The indices  performance  include  reinvestment of income
but does not reflect  transaction  costs,  fees,  expenses or taxes.  The Funds'
investments vary from those in the indices.

     Management's Discussion of Capital Appreciation Fund's Performance

     A discussion of the performance of Capital Appreciation Fund taken from its
annual report dated August 31, 2006 is set forth in Exhibit C.

     HOW DO THE ACCOUNT FEATURES AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES FOR THE FUNDS COMPARE?

     Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges

     The  procedures  for  purchases  and  exchanges  of shares of the Funds are
substantially the same.  Emerging  Technologies Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee
on the  proceeds  of Fund  shares  that  are  redeemed  within  30 days of their
purchase.  The fee also  applies  in the case of  shares  redeemed  in  exchange
transactions.  Capital  Appreciation  Fund does not impose a redemption  fee and
shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund will no longer be subject to this fee
upon completion of the  Reorganization,  after shareholder  approval.  Shares of
either  Fund may be  exchanged  for shares of the same  class of  certain  other
Oppenheimer  funds  offering  such shares.  Exchange  privileges  are subject to
amendment or termination at any time.

     Both Funds have the same initial and subsequent  minimum investment amounts
for the purchase of shares. These amounts are $1,000 and $50, respectively. Both
Funds  have a  maximum  initial  sales  charge  of 5.75%  on Class A shares  for
purchases  of less than  $25,000.  The  sales  charge  of 5.75% is  reduced  for
purchases  of Class A shares of  $25,000  or more.  Investors  who  purchase  $1
million or more of Class A shares pay no  initial  sales  charge but may have to
pay a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1% if the shares are sold within
18 calendar  months from the  beginning of the calendar  month during which they
were  purchased.  Class B shares of the Funds are sold without a front-end sales
charge but may be subject to a contingent  deferred  sales charge  ("CDSC") upon
redemption  depending on the length of time the shares are held. The CDSC begins
at 5% for shares redeemed in the first year and declines to 1% in the sixth year
and is eliminated after that. Class C shares may be purchased without an initial
sales charge,  but if redeemed within 12 months of buying them, a CDSC of 1% may
be deducted.  Class N shares are purchased without an initial sales charge,  but
if  redeemed  within 18 months of the  retirement  plan's  first  purchase  of N
shares, a CDSC of 1% may be deducted.

     Class  A,  Class  B,  Class  C,  Class N and  Class  Y  shares  of  Capital
Appreciation  Fund  received in the  Reorganization  will be issued at net asset
value,  without a sales charge and no CDSC or redemption  fee will be imposed on
Emerging Technologies Fund shares exchanged for Capital Appreciation Fund shares
as a result of the  Reorganization.  However,  any CDSC that applies to Emerging
Technologies  Fund  shares as of the date of the  exchange  will  carry  over to
Capital Appreciation Fund shares received in the Reorganization.

     Dividends and Distributions

     Both Funds intend to declare dividends  separately for each class of shares
from net investment  income on an annual basis and pay them annually.  Dividends
and  distributions  paid to Class A and Class Y shares will  generally be higher
than  dividends  for Class B, Class C and Class N shares,  which  normally  have
higher  expenses  than  Class A and  Class Y  shares.  The  Funds  have no fixed
dividend  rate  and  cannot  guarantee  that  they  will  pay any  dividends  or
distributions.

     Either Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio  securities.
If it does,  it may make  distributions  out of any net  short-term or long-term
capital  gains  each  year.  Each Fund may make  supplemental  distributions  of
dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. However, there
can be no assurance that either Fund will pay any capital gains distributions in
a particular year.

     Other Shareholder Services

     Both Funds also offer the following  privileges:  (i) the ability to reduce
your sales charge on purchases of Class A shares through rights of  accumulation
or letters of intent,  (ii)  reinvestment of dividends and  distributions at net
asset  value,  (iii)  net asset  value  purchases  by  certain  individuals  and
entities,  (iv)  Asset  Builder  (automatic  investment)  Plans,  (v)  Automatic
Withdrawal  and  Exchange  Plans for  shareholders  who own  shares of the Funds
valued at $5,000 or more,  (vi)  AccountLink and PhoneLink  arrangements,  (vii)
exchanges  of shares for shares of the same class of certain  other funds at net
asset value,  (viii) telephone and Internet  redemption and exchange  privileges
and (ix) wire  redemptions  of fund shares (for a fee). All of such services and
privileges  are subject to amendment or  termination at any time and are subject
to the terms of the Funds' respective prospectuses.  For additional information,
please see the section in the current  Prospectus of Capital  Appreciation  Fund
titled "ABOUT YOUR  ACCOUNT",  enclosed with this combined  proxy  statement and
prospectus.

     Special Account  Features.  When your shares of Emerging  Technologies Fund
are  exchanged  for shares of Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  any special  account
features (such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan) selected
for your  Emerging  Technologies  Fund account  will be  continued  for your new
Capital  Appreciation  Fund account (if those features are available for Capital
Appreciation  Fund) unless you instruct the  Transfer  Agent  otherwise.  If you
currently  own shares in both Funds and have  selected the same special  account
features for each Fund (such as an Automatic Withdrawal Plan for both Funds) and
the accounts have identical  account  attributes  (e.g.,  account holder's name,
address,  appropriate  bank  accounts),  the special account feature options you
selected  for your  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  account will be applied to the
special account features  selected for your Capital  Appreciation  Fund account,
unless you instruct the Transfer Agent otherwise.


         HOW DO THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS DIFFER?

     The Funds' Overall Risk. Like all investments, an investment in either Fund
involves  risk.  The  risks  associated  with an  investment  in each  Fund  are
substantially  similar.  There is no  assurance  that  either Fund will meet its
investment  objective.  The  achievement of the Funds' goals depends upon market
conditions,  generally,  and on the portfolio manager's analytical and portfolio
management skills. The risks described below collectively form the risk profiles
of the Funds,  and can affect  the value of the Funds'  investments,  investment
performance  and prices per share.  There is also the risk that poor  securities
selection by the Manager will cause a Fund to underperform  other funds having a
similar  objective.  These  risks mean that you can lose money by  investing  in
either Fund.  When you redeem your  shares,  they may be worth more or less than
what you paid for them.

     The allocation of each Fund's  portfolio among different  investments  will
vary over time  based  upon the  Manager's  evaluation  of  economic  and market
trends. In the OppenheimerFunds  spectrum,  both Emerging  Technologies Fund and
Capital Appreciation Fund are considered  aggressive growth funds,  designed for
investors  willing  to  assume  greater  risks.  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  is
generally more  aggressive than funds that invest in both stocks and bonds or in
investment  grade debt  securities,  but may be less volatile than small-cap and
emerging markets stock funds.

     For both Emerging  Technologies  Fund and Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  the
Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully  researching  securities  before they
are purchased and in some cases by using hedging techniques.  Each Fund attempts
to reduce its exposure to market risks by diversifying its investments, that is,
by not holding a  substantial  amount of the stock of any one company and by not
investing  too great a  percentage  of the  Fund's  assets  in any one  company.
Neither Fund concentrates 25% or more of its investments in companies in any one
industry.  That limit does not apply to  securities  issued or guaranteed by the
U.S.  government or its agencies and  instrumentalities  or securities issued by
investment companies.

     An  investment  in  either  Fund is not a  deposit  of any  bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation or any other
government agency.

     Risks of Investing in Stocks. Both Funds invest in stocks. Stocks fluctuate
in price and their  short-term  volatility  at times may be great.  Because each
Fund invests primarily in common stocks, the value of the Funds' portfolios will
be affected by changes in the stock  markets.  This market risk will affect each
Fund's net asset  values per share,  which will  fluctuate  as the values of the
Funds' portfolio securities change.

     A variety of factors  can  affect the price of a  particular  stock and the
prices of individual  stocks do not all move in the same direction  uniformly or
at the same time.  Different stock markets may also behave differently from each
other.  Other  factors  can  affect a  particular  stock's  price,  such as poor
earnings  reports  by the  issuer,  loss of major  customers,  major  litigation
against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or
its industry.

     Securities in the Funds'  portfolios may not increase as much as the market
as a whole. Some securities may not be actively traded,  and therefore,  may not
be  readily  bought or sold.  Although  at times  each  Fund's  investments  may
appreciate in value rapidly,  investors  should not expect that most of a Fund's
investments  will  appreciate  rapidly.  The Manager may  increase  the relative
emphasis of a Fund's  investments  in a particular  industry  from time to time.
Stocks of  issuers  in a  particular  industry  may be  affected  by  changes in
economic conditions, government regulations,  availability of basic resources or
supplies,  or other events that affect that  industry  more than others.  To the
extent  that  either  of  the  Funds  increases  the  relative  emphasis  of its
investments in a particular industry, its share values may fluctuate in response
to events affecting that industry.

     Risks of Foreign  Investing.  Both  Funds may invest in foreign  securities
which have additional risks. As of May 31, 2007,  Capital  Appreciation Fund had
approximately  9.56% of its total assets invested in foreign securities compared
to less than 1% of total assets for Emerging  Technologies  Fund.  However,  the
foreign  companies in which  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  invests are  generally
larger, more established  companies.  Emerging Technologies Fund has no limit on
the amount of its assets  that can be invested  in foreign  securities.  Capital
Appreciation  fund does not  expect  to have  more than 35% of its total  assets
invested in foreign  securities,  although it has the ability to invest  without
limit.  Capital  Appreciation Fund can buy foreign debt securities primarily for
liquidity or defensive purposes.

     While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities,  there
are also special risks.  The change in value of a foreign  currency  against the
U.S.  dollar  will  result in a change in the U.S.  dollar  value of  securities
denominated  in that foreign  currency.  Foreign  issuers are not subject to the
same accounting and disclosure  requirements  applicable to U.S. companies.  The
value of foreign  investments may be affected by exchange  control  regulations,
expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in
settlement of transactions,  changes in governmental economic or monetary policy
in the U.S. or abroad,  or other political and economic  factors.  Securities in
underdeveloped  countries may be more  difficult to sell and their prices may be
more volatile.  These risks could cause the prices of foreign stocks to fall and
could therefore depress either Fund's share prices.

     Additionally,  if a Fund  invests a  significant  amount  of its  assets in
foreign  securities,  it may be exposed to  "time-zone  arbitrage"  attempts  by
investors  seeking  to take  advantage  of the  differences  in value of foreign
securities  that might  result  from  events  that occur  after the close of the
foreign  securities  market on which a foreign security is traded and before the
close of the New York Stock  Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net
asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might
dilute the interests of other  shareholders.  However,  each Fund's use of "fair
value pricing" to adjust the closing market prices of foreign  securities  under
certain  circumstances,  to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be
their fair value, and the imposition of redemption fees (in the case of Emerging
Technologies Fund), may help deter those activities.

     Risks of Growth  Stocks.  For both the  Emerging  Technologies  and Capital
Appreciation  Funds, growth stocks are selected for the Fund's portfolio because
each Fund's  Manager  believes the price of the stock will  increase  over time.
Growth  stocks may at times be  favored by the market and at other  times may be
out of favor.  Stocks of growth  companies,  particularly  newer companies,  may
offer  opportunities  for greater capital  appreciation but may be more volatile
than stocks of larger,  more established  companies.  These stocks may also have
greater risk of price volatility if the company's earnings growth or stock price
fails to increase as expected. Some growth companies, including newer companies,
tend to retain a large  part of their  earnings  for  research,  development  or
investment in capital assets. Therefore, they do not emphasize paying dividends,
and may not pay any  dividends  for  some  time.  Other  stocks  are  considered
"growth"  stocks  because  the  company is  experiencing  growth in  earnings or
income.

     Investments  By "Funds of Funds."  Class Y shares of  Capital  Appreciation
Fund are offered as an investment to certain other Oppenheimer funds that act as
"funds of funds." Those funds of funds may invest significant  portions of their
assets  in shares of the Fund.  From time to time,  those  investments  may also
represent  a  significant  portion  of the Fund's  outstanding  shares or of its
outstanding Class Y shares.  Those funds of funds typically use asset allocation
strategies  under  which  they  may  increase  or  reduce  the  amount  of their
investment  in the  Fund  frequently,  and  may do so on a  daily  basis  during
volatile  market  conditions.  If the size of those purchases and redemptions of
the Fund's shares by the funds of funds were significant relative to the size of
the Fund's  assets,  the Fund could be required  to  purchase or sell  portfolio
securities,   increasing  its  transaction   costs  and  possibly  reducing  its
performance for all share classes.

     Industry and Sector Focus. At times,  Emerging  Technologies  Fund may also
increase the relative  emphasis of its  investments  in a particular  technology
industry or sector. The prices of stocks of issuers in a particular  industry or
sector  may go up and  down in  response  to  changes  in  economic  conditions,
government  regulations,  availability of basic resources or supplies,  or other
events that affect that industry or sector more than others.  To the extent that
either Fund increases the relative  emphasis of its  investments in a particular
industry  or sector,  its share  values  may  fluctuate  to a greater  degree in
response to events affecting that industry or sector.

     Risks  of  Investing  in  Technology  Companies.   The  value  of  Emerging
Technologies  Fund's  shares  is  particularly  vulnerable  to  risks  affecting
technology  companies  and/or companies  having  investments in technology.  The
technology  sector  historically  has had  greater  stock price  fluctuation  as
compared to the general market. For example, the Manager believes that in recent
years  unrealistically  high investor  optimism  about some  technology  stocks,
particularly  Internet and  communications  stocks,  has resulted in significant
price  increases  of those stocks  relative to the earnings of the issuer,  with
little or no fundamental  economic basis. This factor makes those stocks subject
to even greater risks of loss.

     By  focusing on the  technology  sector of the stock  market  rather than a
broad spectrum of companies,  Emerging  Technologies  Fund's share price will be
particularly   sensitive  to  market  and  economic  events  that  affect  those
technology  companies.  The stock prices of technology companies during the past
few years have been  highly  volatile,  largely due to the rapid pace of product
change and  development  within this sector.  This phenomenon may also result in
future stock price volatility.  In addition,  technologies that are dependent on
consumer demand may be more sensitive to changes in consumer spending  patterns.
Technology companies focusing on the information and telecommunications  sectors
may also be subject to  international,  federal and state regulations and may be
adversely affected by changes in those regulations.

     Because Emerging Technologies Fund emphasizes investment in technology, its
share price is expected to fluctuate in response to events affecting that market
segment.  The Fund  will not  concentrate  25% or more of its  total  assets  in
investments  in any one  industry.  However,  the Fund  may  hold a  significant
portion of its assets in industries  such as:  aerospace/defense;  broadcasting;
cable  television;   communications  equipment;   computer  hardware;   computer
software; electronics;  health care/supplies and services;  pharmaceuticals/drug
development; information technologies; telecommunication; and wireless.

     o Special Risks of Mid-Size and Small-Cap Stocks.  Both Funds may invest in
the  stocks of  mid-size  and  smaller  capitalization  companies.  While  these
companies may offer greater  opportunities for capital appreciation than larger,
more established companies, they involve substantially greater risks of loss and
price fluctuations. Mid-size and small capitalization companies may have limited
product  lines or  markets  for their  products,  limited  access  to  financial
resources  and less depth in  management  skill than  larger,  more  established
companies.  Their stocks may be less liquid than those of larger  issuers.  That
means the Funds could have greater difficulty selling stocks of those issuers at
an acceptable price, especially during periods of market volatility. That factor
increases the potential for losses to the Funds. Also, it may take a substantial
period of time before a Fund  realizes a gain on an investment in a mid or small
capitalization   company,  if  it  realizes  any  gain  at  all.  While  smaller
capitalization  companies may have  potential  for rapid growth,  they often are
subject to higher risks because they lack the managerial  experience,  financial
resources,  product  diversification  and competitive  strengths of larger, more
established companies. In addition, in many instances, the securities of smaller
companies  are traded  over-the-counter  or on a regional  securities  exchange,
where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially  less than is typical
for  securities of larger  companies  traded on national  securities  exchanges.
Therefore,  the  securities  of smaller  companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations  and may be less  liquid.  If either Fund were to try to sell large
positions in  small-cap  stocks,  it might have to sell them at  discounts  from
quoted  prices or might have to make a series of small  sales  over an  extended
period of time that might result in less favorable prices than in a block sale.

     o Special Risks of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).  Emerging  Technologies
Fund has no limit on the  amount of its  assets  that can be  invested  in IPOs.
Capital  Appreciation Fund may also invest in IPOs. However, the Fund intends to
limit its investments in small, unseasoned companies to 5% of its net assets. By
definition, securities issued in IPOs have not traded publicly until the time of
their offerings.  Special risks associated with IPOs may include,  among others,
the fact  that  there  may be only a limited  number  of  shares  available  for
trading,  the market for those securities may be unseasoned,  and the issuer may
have a  limited  operating  history.  These  factors  may  contribute  to  price
volatility.  The limited number of shares available for trading in some IPOs may
also make it more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell  significant  amounts of
shares without an unfavorable  impact on prevailing  prices.  In addition,  some
companies  initially  offering their shares  publicly are involved in relatively
new  industries  or lines of  business,  which may not be widely  understood  by
investors.  Some of the companies  involved in new industries may be regarded as
developmental  stage  companies,  without revenues or operating  income,  or the
near-term prospects of them. Many IPOs are by small- or micro-cap companies that
are  undercapitalized.  The Manager generally  allocates IPO purchases among the
various funds that it advises,  for which that IPO is a suitable  investment and
one that the Fund wants to acquire. Due to the potentially small relative amount
of an IPO  allocation  available to a Fund, a Fund might not be able to purchase
as many  shares  of an IPO as it  requests.  Because  of the  volatility  of IPO
shares,  a Fund might hold these  shares for only a very short time.  This could
increase the turnover of a Fund's portfolio and increase its expenses.

     Small  Capitalization  Stock Investments.  Emerging  Technologies Fund may,
from  time to  time,  invest  a  substantial  portion  of its  assets  in  small
capitalization  companies,  including  those that have been in  operation  for a
relatively short period. Capital Appreciation Fund can also invest in securities
of small cap issuers  (having market  capitalizations  of less than $1 billion),
including those of small,  unseasoned  companies that have been in operation for
less than three years  (including  the operation of any  predecessors).  Capital
Appreciation  Fund  intends  to  invest  no more  than 5% of its net  assets  in
securities of small, unseasoned issuers.

     Small-cap  companies  tend to be companies that are developing new products
or services that the Manager believes have relatively  favorable  prospects,  or
that are expanding into new and growing  markets.  Emerging growth companies may
offer new  products or services  that might enable them to capture a dominant or
important  market  position.  They may have a special  area of  expertise or the
capability  to take  advantage  of  changes  in  demographic  factors  in a more
profitable way than larger, more established companies.

     Other Investment Strategies

     To seek its objective, each Fund may also use the investment techniques and
strategies  described below. The Funds might not always use all of the different
types of techniques and  investments  described  below.  These  techniques  have
risks,  although some are designed to help reduce  overall  investment or market
risks.

     Other Equity Securities.  While each Fund emphasizes  investments in common
stocks, it can also buy preferred stocks and securities  convertible into common
stock.  These  securities  can be issued by domestic or foreign  companies.  The
Manager considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because
of the  conversion  feature and in that case their credit rating has less impact
on the investment decision than in the case of other debt securities.

     Convertible  securities  are  rated by  nationally  recognized  statistical
rating  organizations  such as Moody's Investors Service or are given comparable
ratings by the Manager. "Investment grade" securities are debt securities in the
four highest ratings  categories of ratings  organizations or unrated securities
assigned a  comparable  rating by the  Manager.  Lower-grade  securities  may be
subject to greater market fluctuations and risks of loss of income and principal
and have less liquidity than investments in  investment-grade  securities.  Debt
securities  are  subject to credit  risk (the risk that the issuer will not make
timely payments of interest and principal) and interest rate risk (the risk that
the value of the security will fall if interest rates rise).

     Illiquid and  Restricted  Securities.  Capital  Appreciation  Fund will not
invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities. The
Board can increase that limit to 15%. Emerging Technologies Fund will not invest
more than 15%.  Investments  may be illiquid  because they do not have an active
trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at
an  acceptable  price.  Restricted  securities  may have terms that limit  their
resale  to  other  investors  or  may  require   registration  under  applicable
securities laws before they may be sold publicly.

     Certain  restricted  securities held by a Fund that are eligible for resale
to  qualified  institutional  purchasers  may  not be  subject  to  that  Fund's
respective   investment   limit.  The  Manager  monitors  holdings  of  illiquid
securities  on an ongoing  basis to  determine  whether to sell any  holdings to
maintain adequate liquidity.

     Derivative  Investments.  Both  Funds can  invest in a number of  different
kinds of "derivative" investments.  In general terms, a derivative investment is
an investment  contract whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying  asset,  interest rate or index. In the broadest  sense,  options,
futures  contracts,  and other  hedging  instruments  each Fund might use may be
considered "derivative" investments.  Derivatives may increase the volatility of
the  Fund's  share  prices or cause  investment  losses.  In  addition  to using
derivatives for hedging,  Capital  Appreciation  Fund might use other derivative
investments  because they offer the  potential  for  increased  value.  The Fund
currently does not use  derivatives to a significant  degree and is not required
to use them in seeking its objective.

     Derivatives have risks. If the issuer of the derivative investment does not
pay the  amount  due, a Fund can lose money on the  investment.  The  underlying
security  or  investment  on which a  derivative  is based,  and the  derivative
itself, may not perform the way the Manager expected it to. As a result of these
risks a Fund could  realize less  principal or income from the  investment  than
expected or its hedge might be unsuccessful.  As a result, a Fund's share prices
could fall. Certain derivative investments held by a Fund might be illiquid.

     Hedging.  Both Funds can buy and sell certain  kinds of futures  contracts,
put and call options, and forward contracts for "hedging" purposes. Neither Fund
intends to use these  instruments  extensively  and is not  required to do so to
seek its objective or for speculative  purposes.  It has limits on the extent of
its use of hedging and the types of hedging instruments that it can use. Some of
these  strategies  could  be used to  hedge a  Fund's  portfolio  against  price
fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and call options,
could tend to increase a Funds' exposure to the securities market.

     There are also special  risks in  particular  hedging  strategies.  Options
trading involves the payment of premiums,  can increase portfolio turnover,  and
can have special tax effects on a Fund. If the Manager used a hedging instrument
at the wrong time or judged market  conditions  incorrectly,  the strategy could
reduce a Fund's return. A Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its
futures and options  positions were not correlated with its other investments or
if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market.

     Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  Both Funds may make loans of its portfolio
securities,  in each case with a value not to exceed 25% of its net  assets,  in
accordance  with Securities  Lending  Guidelines  adopted by the Board.  Capital
Appreciation Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with JP Morgan
Chase  for  that  purpose.   Emerging   Technologies  Fund  currently  does  not
participate in that securities lending agreement.

     Under the JPMorgan Chase agreement,  Capital  Appreciation Fund's portfolio
securities  may be  loaned  to  brokers,  dealers  and  financial  institutions,
provided   that  such  loans  comply  with  the   collateralization   and  other
requirements  of  the  securities  lending  agreement,  the  Securities  Lending
Guidelines and applicable government regulations.  JP Morgan Chase has agreed to
bear the risk that a borrower  may default on its  obligation  to return  loaned
securities.  However, the Fund will be responsible for risks associated with the
investment of cash collateral,  including the risk of a default by the issuer of
a security in which cash collateral has been invested.  If that occurs, the Fund
may incur  additional  costs in seeking to obtain the collateral or may lose the
amount of the collateral  investment.  The Fund may also lose money if the value
of the cash collateral decreases.

     Investments in Oppenheimer  Institutional Money Market Fund. Both Funds can
invest its free cash balances in the Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional
Money  Market Fund,  to seek current  income  while  preserving  liquidity.  The
Oppenheimer  Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management
investment  company,  regulated  as a money  market  fund  under the  Investment
Company  Act of 1940.  It  invests  in a variety  of  short-term,  high-quality,
dollar-denominated  money  market  instruments  issued  by the U.S.  government,
domestic  and  foreign  corporations  and  financial  institutions,   and  other
entities. As a shareholder,  a Fund will be subject to its proportional share of
the Oppenheimer  Institutional  Money Market Fund's Class E expenses,  including
its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of a Fund's advisory
fee  to  the  extent  of the  Fund's  share  of the  advisory  fee  paid  by the
Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

     Temporary  Defensive  and  Interim  Investments.  In times of  unstable  or
adverse  market,  economic or political  conditions,  each Fund can invest up to
100% of its assets in temporary  investments  that may be inconsistent  with the
Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally they would be cash equivalents
(such  as  commercial  paper),   money  market   instruments,   short-term  debt
securities, U.S. government securities, or repurchase agreements. The Fund could
also hold these types of securities  pending the investment of proceeds from the
sale of Fund shares or portfolio  securities or to meet anticipated  redemptions
of Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests  defensively in these securities,
it might not achieve its investment objective of capital appreciation.

     Portfolio  Turnover.  A change in the securities held by a Fund is known as
"portfolio  turnover."  Each Fund can engage in active and  frequent  short-term
trading  while trying to achieve its  objective.  Although both Funds may have a
portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% annually,  Capital Appreciation Fund's
turnover  rate has been less than 100% annually over the last five fiscal years.
Increased  portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs for
a Fund (and may reduce  performance).  If a Fund realizes  capital gains when it
sells its  portfolio  investments,  it must  generally  pay  those  gains out to
shareholders,  increasing their taxable  distributions.  The following portfolio
turnover rates are for both Funds, over each Fund's last five fiscal years:

- ----------------------------------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------

                                              2006            2005           2004            2003           2002
- ----------------------------------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------
- ----------------------------------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------

Emerging Technologies Fund                    101%            147%           157%            219%           159%
- ----------------------------------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------
- ----------------------------------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------

Capital Appreciation Fund                      83%            38%             45%            42%             28%
- ----------------------------------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------

     The risks  described  above  collectively  form the  expected  overall risk
profile,  respectively,  of each  Fund  and can  affect  the  value  of a Fund's
investments,  its investment  performance  and its prices per share.  Particular
investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you
can lose money by investing in either  Fund.  When you redeem your shares,  they
may be worth  more or less than what you paid for  them.  There is no  assurance
that either Fund will achieve its investment objective.


                    INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

     This is only a summary of the Reorganization Agreement. You should read the
form of Reorganization Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A.

     How will the Reorganization be carried out?

     If  the   shareholders   of   Emerging   Technologies   Fund   approve  the
Reorganization  Agreement,  the  Reorganization  will take place  after  various
conditions are satisfied by Emerging  Technologies Fund and Capital Appreciation
Fund,  including  delivery of certain  documents.  The Closing Date is presently
scheduled  for on or about October 27, 2007 and the  "Valuation  Date" (which is
the business day preceding the Closing Date of the  Reorganization) is presently
scheduled for on or about October 26, 2007.

     If the  shareholders  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund vote to approve  the
Reorganization   Agreement,   substantially   all  of  the  assets  of  Emerging
Technologies  Fund will be transferred to Capital  Appreciation Fund in exchange
for shares of Capital  Appreciation Fund, and you will receive Class A, Class B,
Class C, Class N or Class Y shares of Capital  Appreciation  Fund equal in value
to the value as of the  Valuation  Date of your shares of Emerging  Technologies
Fund.  Emerging  Technologies  Fund will then be liquidated and its  outstanding
shares will be cancelled. The stock transfer books of Emerging Technologies Fund
will be permanently closed at the close of business on the Valuation Date.

     Shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund who vote their Class A, Class B,
Class C,  Class N and  Class Y shares  in  favor of the  Reorganization  will be
electing in effect to redeem their shares of Emerging  Technologies  Fund at net
asset value on the Valuation Date, after Emerging  Technologies Fund subtracts a
cash reserve  ("Cash  Reserve"),  and reinvest the proceeds in Class A, Class B,
Class C,  Class N and Class Y shares of Capital  Appreciation  Fund at net asset
value. The Cash Reserve is an amount retained by Emerging  Technologies Fund for
the  payment  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund's  outstanding  debts,  taxes and
expenses of liquidation following the Reorganization.  Capital Appreciation Fund
is not  assuming  any  debts of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  except  debts for
unsettled  securities  transactions  and  outstanding  dividend  and  redemption
checks.  Any debts paid out of the Cash Reserve  will be those  debts,  taxes or
expenses of liquidation incurred by Emerging  Technologies Fund on or before the
Closing Date. Emerging  Technologies Fund will recognize capital gains or losses
on any sales of portfolio securities made prior to the Reorganization. The sales
of portfolio securities contemplated in the Reorganization are anticipated to be
in the ordinary course of business of Emerging  Technologies  Fund's activities.
Following  the  Reorganization,   Emerging  Technologies  Fund  shall  take  all
necessary steps to complete its liquidation and affect a complete dissolution of
the Fund.

     Under the Reorganization  Agreement,  either Emerging  Technologies Fund or
Capital Appreciation Fund may abandon and terminate the Reorganization Agreement
for any reason and there shall be no  liability  for  damages or other  recourse
available to the other Fund,  provided,  however,  that in the event that one of
the Funds terminates the  Reorganization  Agreement without reasonable cause, it
shall,  upon  demand,  reimburse  the  other  Fund for all  expenses,  including
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  and fees  incurred in  connection  with the
Reorganization Agreement.

     To the  extent  permitted  by  law,  the  Funds  may  agree  to  amend  the
Reorganization  Agreement without shareholder  approval.  They may also agree to
terminate  and abandon the  Reorganization  at any time before or, to the extent
permitted by law, after the approval of  shareholders  of Emerging  Technologies
Fund.

     Who will pay the expenses of the Reorganization?

     Each Fund will be  responsible  for its respective  out-of-pocket  expenses
associated with the Reorganization, including outside legal and accounting fees,
the  cost of the tax  opinion,  and  shareholder  communication  costs.  OFI has
estimated  total merger related costs to be  approximately  $93,500 for Emerging
Technologies  Fund  and  $20,000  for  Capital  Appreciation  Fund.  Due  to the
relatively  moderate cost of the  Reorganization,  OFI does not anticipate  that
either  Fund  will   experience   a  dilution  as  a  result  of  the   proposed
Reorganization.


     What are the tax consequences of the Reorganization?

     The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free  reorganization for
federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.  Based on certain assumptions and representations  received
from Emerging Technologies Fund and Capital Appreciation Fund, it is expected to
be the opinion of Mayer,  Brown,  Rowe & Maw LLP ("tax  opinion")  that; (i)
shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund should not recognize any gain or loss
for federal  income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of their shares for
shares of Capital  Appreciation Fund; (ii) shareholders of Capital  Appreciation
Fund should not recognize any gain or loss upon receipt of Emerging Technologies
Fund's assets (iii) and the holding period of Capital  Appreciation  Fund shares
received in that exchange  should include the period that Emerging  Technologies
Fund shares were held  (provided such shares were held as a capital asset on the
Closing Date). In addition, neither Fund is expected to recognize a gain or loss
as a direct result of the  Reorganization.  Please see the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization for more details.

     If the tax opinion is not received by the Closing Date,  the Fund may still
pursue  the   Reorganization,   pending   re-solicitation  of  shareholders  and
shareholder  approval which would delay the  reorganization  by several  months.
Although  not  likely,  in the  event  the  tax  opinion  is not  received,  the
Reorganization may not qualify as a tax-free reorganization.

     Prior to the Valuation Date, Emerging  Technologies Fund may pay a dividend
which will have the  effect of  distributing  to  Emerging  Technologies  Fund's
shareholders  all of Emerging  Technologies  Fund's  investment  company taxable
income,  if any,  for  taxable  years  ending  on or prior to the  Closing  Date
(computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of its net
capital  gains,  if any,  realized  in taxable  years  ending on or prior to the
Closing Date (after reduction for any available capital loss carry-forward).  As
of Emerging Technologies Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund had
$465,803,504.00  of net  capital  loss  carry-forward  available  to offset  any
realized capital gains and thereby reduce the capital gains  distributions.  Any
such dividends  will be included in the taxable income of Emerging  Technologies
Fund's shareholders as ordinary income and capital gain, respectively.

     You will  continue to be  responsible  for tracking  the purchase  cost and
holding period of your shares and should consult your tax adviser  regarding the
effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances.
You should  also  consult  your tax  adviser as to state and local and other tax
consequences, if any, of the Reorganization because this discussion only relates
to federal income tax consequences.



                         REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

     Board Considerations

     At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund and
Capital  Appreciation  Fund held May 17, 2007, the Board  considered  whether to
approve the  proposed  Reorganization  on behalf of each Fund and  reviewed  and
discussed  with the  Manager  and the  Boards'  independent  legal  counsel  the
proposed  Reorganization.  Information with respect to, among other things, each
Fund's   respective   investment   objective  and  policies,   management  fees,
distribution fees and other operating expenses, historical performance and asset
size also was considered by the Board.

     The Board received  information that  demonstrated  that from 2000 to 2006,
the assets of Emerging Technologies Fund decreased  significantly from over $400
million  to  approximately  $130  million.  The Board also  considered  that the
Manager does not believe that the assets of the Fund will increase significantly
from any sales efforts given the Fund's poor  long-term  performance.  The Board
also  considered  that there are other emerging  technology  funds in the market
place with significantly better performance records.

     The Board also considered the relative small size of Emerging  Technologies
Fund and the Manager's view that the  corresponding  management fee for Emerging
Technologies  Fund  is  high  because  the  Fund  has  not  reached  many of its
management  breakpoints.  The Board considered the Manager's expectation that by
merging Emerging Technologies Fund into Capital Appreciation Fund,  shareholders
of Emerging  Technologies Fund would benefit from significantly reduced fees and
expenses.

     The Board  considered  that the  procedures  for purchases and exchanges of
shares of both Funds are  substantially  similar  and that both Funds  offer the
same investor services and options.

     The Board also  considered the terms and conditions of the  Reorganization,
including  that  there  would  be no  sales  charge  imposed  in  effecting  the
Reorganization  and  that  the  Reorganization  is  expected  to  be a  tax-free
reorganization.   The  Board   concluded  that  Emerging   Technologies   Fund's
participation  in  the  transaction  was  in  the  best  interests  of  Emerging
Technologies Fund and that the Reorganization  would not result in a dilution of
the interests of existing shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund.

     After consideration of the above factors,  other  considerations,  and such
information  as the Board of Emerging  Technologies  Fund deemed  relevant,  the
Board,  including the Trustees who are not  "interested  persons" (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) of Capital Appreciation Fund, Emerging  Technologies
Fund or the Manager  (the  "Independent  Trustees"),  unanimously  approved  the
Reorganization  and the  Reorganization  Agreement  and voted to  recommend  its
approval by the shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund.

     The Board also determined that the Reorganization was in the best interests
of Capital  Appreciation  Fund and its  shareholders  and that no dilution would
result to those shareholders. Capital Appreciation Fund shareholders do not vote
on the  Reorganization.  The  Board on  behalf  of  Capital  Appreciation  Fund,
including the Independent Trustees,  unanimously approved the Reorganization and
the Reorganization Agreement.

     Neither Fund's Board members are required to attend the meeting nor do they
plan to attend the meeting.

     For  the  reasons  discussed  above,  the  Board,  on  behalf  of  Emerging
Technologies Fund, recommends that you vote FOR the Reorganization Agreement. If
shareholders  of Emerging  Technologies  Fund do not approve the  Reorganization
Agreement, the Reorganization will not take place.

     What  should I know  about  Class A,  Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y
Shares of Capital Appreciation Fund?

     Upon consummation of the  Reorganization,  Class A, Class B, Class C, Class
N, and Class Y shares  of  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  will be  distributed  to
shareholders  of  Class A,  Class B,  Class  C,  Class N and  Class Y shares  of
Emerging Technologies Fund, respectively, in connection with the Reorganization.
The shares of Capital Appreciation Fund will be recorded  electronically in each
shareholder's  account.  Capital Appreciation Fund will then send a confirmation
to  each  shareholder.   Shareholders  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  holding
certificates  representing  their shares will not be required to surrender their
certificates in connection with the Reorganization. However, former shareholders
of Emerging  Technologies Fund whose shares are represented by outstanding share
certificates  will not be  allowed  to redeem  or  exchange  shares  of  Capital
Appreciation  Fund  they  receive  in the  Reorganization  until  the  exchanged
Emerging  Technologies  Fund  certificates  have been  returned to the  Transfer
Agent.

     The rights of shareholders of both Funds are  substantially the same as are
their governing documents. Each share will be fully paid and non-assessable when
issued.  Capital  Appreciation  Fund's  Declaration of Trust contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund's  obligations,  and
provides  for  indemnification  of any loss and expenses out of its property for
any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations. Neither Fund permits
cumulative voting.

     WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS OF THE FUNDS?

     Both Emerging  Technologies Fund and Capital Appreciation Fund have certain
additional  fundamental  investment  restrictions  that can only be changed with
shareholder  approval.  Generally,  these  investment  restrictions  are similar
between the Funds. Please see the Statements of Additional  Information for each
Fund for descriptions of those investment  restrictions,  which are incorporated
by reference into the Statement of Additional  Information dated August 30, 2007
related to this Reorganization.

     OTHER COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE FUNDS

     The  description  of certain  other key  features of the Funds is set forth
below.  More detailed  information  is available in each Fund's  Prospectus  and
Statement of Additional Information, which are incorporated by reference.

     Management of the Funds

     Each Fund is governed by the same Board of Trustees,  which is  responsible
for protecting the interests of each Fund's shareholders under Massachusetts law
and other  applicable  laws.  For a listing of the Capital  Appreciation  Fund's
Board of Trustees and biographical information, please refer to the Statement of
Additional  Information  to this  Prospectus  and  Proxy  Statement,  which  are
incorporated  by reference  into the Statement of Additional  Information  dated
August 30, 2007 related to this Reorganization.

     Investment Management and Fees

     The  day-to-day  management of the business and affairs of each Fund is the
responsibility  of the  Manager.  Pursuant  to each Fund's  investment  advisory
agreement,  the Manager acts as the investment  advisor for both Funds,  manages
the assets of both Funds and makes each Fund's investment decisions. The Manager
employs the Funds' portfolio managers. Emerging Technologies Fund's portfolio is
managed  by Neil M.  McCarthy,  John  Delano  and Ash  Shah,  who are  primarily
responsible  for the day-to-day  management of the Fund's  investments.  Capital
Appreciation  Fund's  portfolio  is  managed  by Marc  L.  Baylin,  CFA,  who is
primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

     Both Funds obtain investment management services from the Manager according
to the  terms of  management  agreements  that are  substantially  similar.  The
advisory  agreements require the Manager,  at its expense,  to provide each Fund
with adequate  office space,  facilities  and  equipment.  The  agreements  also
require  the  Manager  to  provide  and   supervise   the   activities   of  all
administrative   and   clerical   personnel   required   to  provide   effective
administration for the Funds. Those responsibilities include the compilation and
maintenance of records with respect to their  operations,  the  preparation  and
filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration
statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Funds.

     Each Fund pays  expenses  not  expressly  assumed by the Manager  under the
advisory  agreement.  The advisory  agreements list examples of expenses paid by
each  Fund.  The  major  categories   relate  to  interest,   taxes,   brokerage
commissions,  fees to Independent Trustees, legal and audit expenses,  custodian
bank and transfer agent  expenses,  share issuance costs,  certain  printing and
registration costs, and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs.

     Both investment advisory  agreements  generally provide that in the absence
of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross negligence in the performance of its
duties or reckless  disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment
advisory  agreement,  the Manager is not liable for any loss sustained by reason
of good faith errors or omissions  in  connection  with any matters to which the
agreement(s) relate.

     The Manager is  controlled  by  Oppenheimer  Acquisition  Corp.,  a holding
company  owned  in  part  by  senior  officers  of the  Manager  and  ultimately
controlled  by  Massachusetts  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company,  a mutual  life
insurance company that also advises pension plans and investment companies.  The
Manager  has  been  an  investment  advisor  since  January  1960.  The  Manager
(including  subsidiaries  and an  affiliate)  managed  more than $250 billion in
assets as of June 30, 2007,  including other  Oppenheimer funds with more than 6
million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at 225 Liberty Street, 11th
Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

     Fee and Expense  Comparison  (Class A Shares).  Capital  Appreciation  Fund
offers a  significantly  more favorable  advisory fee and overall  expense ratio
than Emerging Technologies Fund due to its size.

     The table below shows the current  contractual  management fee schedule for
each of the  Funds.  As shown in the table,  the  effective  management  fee for
Capital Appreciation Fund is 0.57%, versus 0.90% for Emerging Technologies Fund.
Additionally,   the   management   fees  for  Capital   Appreciation   Fund  are
significantly lower than the management fees for Emerging Technologies Fund on a
contractual basis as well. Capital Appreciation Fund's fee schedule would be the
fee  schedule  for  the  combined  Funds  upon  successful   completion  of  the
Reorganization.

     Distribution Services

     OppenheimerFunds   Distributor,   Inc.  (the  "Distributor")  acts  as  the
principal  underwriter in a continuous  public  offering of shares of the Funds,
but is not  obligated  to sell a  specific  number of  shares.  Both  Funds have
adopted  Service Plans for Class A shares.  The plans  reimburse the Distributor
for a portion of its costs incurred for services  provided to accounts that hold
Class A shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25%
of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of each 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.

     Both Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C
and  Class N  shares  to pay the  Distributor  for its  services  and  costs  in
distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing  accounts.  Under
each Fund's plan,  the Fund pays the  Distributor  an annual  asset-based  sales
charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares  and 0.25% on Class N shares.  The
Distributor  also  receives  a service  fee of 0.25% per year under the Class B,
Class C and Class N plans.

     The asset-based  sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C
expenses  by 1.0% and  increase  Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per
year of the  respective  class.  Because  these fees are paid out of each Fund's
assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

     The Distributor  uses the service fees to compensate  dealers for providing
personal services for accounts that hold Class B, Class C or Class N shares. The
Distributor  normally  pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in advance for the
first year after the shares are sold by the  dealer.  After the shares have been
held for a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to dealers periodically.

     The Manager and the Distributor,  in their discretion, also may pay dealers
or other financial  intermediaries and service providers for distribution and/or
shareholder servicing  activities.  These payments are made out of the Manager's
and/or the Distributor's own resources,  including from the profits derived from
the advisory fees the Manager receives from a Fund.  These cash payments,  which
may be substantial,  are paid to many firms having business  relationships  with
the Manager and Distributor.  These payments are in addition to any distribution
fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the
Fund to these financial  intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays
to these firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. These payments by the
Manager or  Distributor  from their own  resources  are not reflected in the fee
tables  contained in this combined  Prospectus and Proxy Statement  because they
are not paid by the Fund.

     "Financial  intermediaries"  are firms  that  offer and sell  shares of the
Funds to their clients, or provide  shareholder  services to the Funds, or both,
and receive  compensation  for doing so.  Your  securities  dealer or  financial
adviser, for example, is a financial intermediary,  and there are other types of
financial intermediaries that receive payments relating to the sale or servicing
of the Fund's shares. In addition to dealers, the financial  intermediaries that
may  receive  payments  include  sponsors  of fund  "supermarkets,"  sponsors of
fee-based  advisory or wrap fee  programs,  sponsors  of college and  retirement
savings  programs,  banks and trust companies  offering  products that hold Fund
shares,  and insurance  companies that offer  variable  annuity or variable life
insurance products.

     In general,  these payments to financial  intermediaries can be categorized
as    "distribution-related"    or    "servicing"    payments.    Payments   for
distribution-related  expenses,  such as marketing or promotional expenses,  are
often referred to as "revenue  sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on
the basis of the sales of shares  attributable  to that dealer,  the average net
assets of a Fund and other  Oppenheimer  funds  attributable  to the accounts of
that dealer and its  clients,  negotiated  lump sum  payments  for  distribution
services provided, or sales support fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing
payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial  intermediary  or its
representatives  to  recommend  or offer  shares of a Fund or other  Oppenheimer
funds  to its  customers.  These  payments  also  may  give an  intermediary  an
incentive to  cooperate  with the  Distributor's  marketing  efforts.  A revenue
sharing payment may, for example,  qualify a Fund for preferred  status with the
intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor
with access to representatives of the intermediary's  sales force, in some cases
on a  preferential  basis  over  funds  of  competitors.  Additionally,  as firm
support,   the  Manager  or  Distributor  may  reimburse   expenses  related  to
educational  seminars and "due  diligence"  or training  meetings (to the extent
permitted  by  applicable  laws or the rules of the NASD)  designed  to increase
sales  representatives'  awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and
lodging  expenditures.  However,  the  Manager  does not  consider  a  financial
intermediary's  sale of  shares  of the Funds or other  Oppenheimer  funds  when
selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

     Various  factors  are used to  determine  whether to make  revenue  sharing
payments.  Possible  considerations  include,  without limitation,  the types of
services  provided by the  intermediary,  sales of Fund shares,  the  redemption
rates on  accounts of clients of the  intermediary  or overall  asset  levels of
Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of
the  intermediary to allow the  Distributor to provide  educational and training
support for the  intermediary's  sales  personnel  relating  to the  Oppenheimer
funds, the  availability of the Oppenheimer  funds on the  intermediary's  sales
system,  as  well  as the  overall  quality  of  the  services  provided  by the
intermediary   and  the   Manager  or   Distributor's   relationship   with  the
intermediary.  The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing
and implementing  each prospective  revenue sharing  arrangement.  To the extent
that financial intermediaries receiving  distribution-related  payments from the
Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer  funds or retain more
shares  of the funds in their  client  accounts,  the  Manager  and  Distributor
benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect
to those assets.

     Payments may also be made by the Manager,  the  Distributor or the Transfer
Agent  to  financial   intermediaries   to  compensate  or  reimburse  them  for
administrative  or other client services  provided such as  sub-transfer  agency
services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or
sub-accounting,   participation  in  networking  arrangements,  account  set-up,
recordkeeping  and other  shareholder  services.  Payments  may also be made for
administrative  services  related to the distribution of Fund shares through the
intermediary.  Firms that may receive  servicing  fees include  retirement  plan
administrators,  qualified tuition program sponsors,  banks and trust companies,
and others.  These fees may be used by the service  provider to offset or reduce
fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain  account  holders,
such as retirement plans.

     Each Fund's Statement of Additional  Information  contains more information
about  revenue  sharing  and  service  payments  made  by  the  Manager  or  the
Distributor. Your dealer may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those
disclosed in this combined proxy statement and prospectus.

     Transfer Agency and Custody Services

     Both Funds receive shareholder  accounting and other clerical services from
OppenheimerFunds  Services,  a  division  of the  Manager,  in its  capacity  as
transfer agent and dividend paying agent.  It acts on an annual  per-account fee
basis for both Funds. The terms of the transfer agency agreement for both Funds,
and of a voluntary undertaking to limit transfer agent fees (to 0.35% of average
daily net assets per fiscal year for each class of both Funds) are substantially
similar.  JP Morgan Chase Bank, located at 4 Chase Metro Tech Center,  Brooklyn,
NY 11245,  acts as  custodian  for Capital  Appreciation  Fund.  Brown  Brothers
Harriman & Co., located at 40 Water Street,  Boston, MA 02109-3661,  acts as
custodian for Emerging Technologies Fund. Prior to May 11, 2007, Citibank,  N.A.
served as the custodian for Emerging Technologies Fund.

     Shareholder Rights

     Both Funds are  Massachusetts  business trusts.  The Funds are not required
to,  and do not,  hold  annual  meetings  of  shareholders  and have no  current
intention to hold such meetings,  except as required by the  Investment  Company
Act.

     Under  the  Investment  Company  Act,  the  Funds  are  required  to hold a
shareholder meeting if, among other reasons,  the numbers of Trustees elected by
shareholders is less than a majority of the total number of Trustees, or if they
seek to  change  a  fundamental  investment  policy.  The  Trustees  of  Capital
Appreciation  Fund will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of
a  Trustee  upon  the  written  request  of  the  record  holders  of 10% of its
outstanding  shares.  If the  Trustees  receive  a  request  from  at  least  10
shareholders  stating that they wish to communicate  with other  shareholders to
request a meeting to remove a Trustee,  the  Trustees  will then either make the
Fund's shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their  communication
to all other shareholders at the applicants'  expense.  The shareholders  making
the request  must have been  shareholders  for at least six months and must hold
shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or  constituting at least 1% of the
Fund's outstanding  shares. The Trustees may also take other action as permitted
by the Investment Company Act.

                            VOTING INFORMATION

     How do I vote?

     Please take a few moments to complete your proxy ballot  promptly.  You may
vote your shares by  completing  and signing the enclosed  proxy  ballot(s)  and
mailing the proxy ballot(s) in the postage paid envelope provided.  You also may
vote your shares by telephone or via the internet by following the  instructions
on the attached proxy ballot(s) and  accompanying  materials.  You may cast your
vote by attending the Meeting in person if you are a record owner.

     If you need assistance, have any questions regarding the Proposal or need a
replacement  proxy  ballot,  you may  contact  us  toll-free  at  1-800-225-5677
(1-800-CALL-OPP).  Any proxy  given by a  shareholder,  whether in  writing,  by
telephone  or via the  internet,  is  revocable  as  described  below  under the
paragraph titled "Revoking a Proxy".

     If you simply sign and date the proxy but give no voting instructions, your
shares will be voted in favor of the Reorganization Agreement.

     o Telephone  Voting.  Please have the proxy ballot  available  and call the
number on the enclosed materials and follow the instructions.  After you provide
your voting  instructions,  those  instructions will be read back to you and you
must confirm your voting  instructions  before  ending the telephone  call.  The
voting  procedures  used in  connection  with  telephone  voting are designed to
reasonably authenticate the identity of shareholders,  to permit shareholders to
authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their  instructions  and
to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

     As the Meeting date approaches,  certain shareholders may receive telephone
calls from a representative  of the  solicitation  firm (if applicable) if their
vote has not yet been received. Authorization to permit the solicitation firm to
execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic  instructions from shareholders of
Emerging  Technologies  Fund. Proxies that are obtained  telephonically  will be
recorded in accordance with the procedures  discussed  herein.  These procedures
have been  designed to  reasonably  ensure that the identity of the  shareholder
providing  voting  instructions  is  accurately  determined  and that the voting
instructions of the shareholder are accurately recorded.

     In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited,  the solicitation  firm
representative  is required to ask for each  shareholder's  full name,  address,
title (if the shareholder is authorized to act on behalf of an entity, such as a
corporation)  and to  confirm  that  the  shareholder  has  received  the  Proxy
Statement and ballot.  If the information  solicited agrees with the information
provided to the solicitation firm, the solicitation firm  representative has the
responsibility  to explain the process,  read the  proposal  listed on the proxy
ballot,  and ask for  the  shareholder's  instructions  on  such  proposal.  The
solicitation  firm  representative,  although he or she is  permitted  to answer
questions  about the process,  is not permitted to recommend to the  shareholder
how to vote. The solicitation firm  representative  may read any  recommendation
set forth in the Proxy Statement.  The  solicitation  firm  representative  will
record the shareholder's instructions.  Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be
sent a  confirmation  of his or her  vote  asking  the  shareholder  to call the
solicitation  firm  immediately  if his or her  instructions  are not  correctly
reflected in the confirmation.  For additional information, see also the section
below titled "Solicitation of Proxies".

     o Internet  Voting.  You also may vote over the internet by  following  the
instructions  in the  enclosed  materials.  You will be  prompted  to enter  the
control  number on the enclosed  proxy ballot.  Follow the  instructions  on the
screen, using your proxy ballot as a guide.

     Who is entitled to vote and how are votes counted?

     Shareholders  of  record  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund at the  close of
business  on June 12, 2007 (the  "Record  Date") will be entitled to vote at the
Meeting. On June 12, 2007, there were 42,784,548  outstanding shares of Emerging
Technologies Fund,  consisting of 25,317,617 Class A shares,  10,070,515 Class B
shares,  5,482,472 Class C shares,  1,298,109 Class N shares and 615,835 Class Y
shares. Each shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each full share, and a
fractional vote for each fractional share of Emerging  Technologies Fund held on
the Record Date.

     The   individuals   named  as  proxies  on  the  proxy  ballots  (or  their
substitutes)  will vote  according  to your  directions  if your proxy ballot is
received and properly  executed,  or in  accordance  with the  instructions  you
provide if you vote by  telephone,  internet  or mail.  You may direct the proxy
holders to vote your  shares on the  proposal by checking  the  appropriate  box
"FOR" or "AGAINST", or instruct them not to vote those shares on the proposal by
checking the "ABSTAIN" box.

     Quorum and Required Vote

     The  presence in person or by proxy of a majority of Emerging  Technologies
Fund's shares  outstanding  and entitled to vote  constitutes  a quorum.  Shares
whose  proxies  reflect an  abstention  on the  proposal  are  counted as shares
present and  entitled to vote for purposes of  determining  whether the required
quorum of shares exists for the Proposal. However, because of the need to obtain
a vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote, abstentions
will have the same effect as a vote "against" the Proposal.  In the absence of a
quorum,  the  shareholders  present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote
thereat  have the power to adjourn the  meeting  from time to time but no longer
than six months from the date of the meeting without further notice.

     The affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority (as that term is defined
in the  Investment  Company Act of 1940) of the shares of Emerging  Technologies
Fund outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to approve the Reorganization
Agreement  and the  transactions  contemplated  thereby.  Under  the  Investment
Company Act, such a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the
lesser  of 67% or more of the  shares  present  or  represented  by  proxy  at a
shareholder  meeting,  if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
are present or represented by proxy, or more than 50% of the outstanding shares.
Capital Appreciation Fund shareholders do not vote on the Reorganization.

     In absence of a quorum or if a quorum is present  but  sufficient  votes to
approve the Proposal  are not  received by the date of the Meeting,  the persons
named in the enclosed proxy (or their  substitutes)  may propose and approve one
or more  adjournments of the Meeting to permit further  solicitation of proxies.
All such  adjournments  will require the  affirmative  vote of a majority of the
shares  present  in  person  or by proxy at the  session  of the  Meeting  to be
adjourned.  The  persons  named  as  proxies  on the  proxy  ballots  (or  their
substitutes)  will vote the  Shares  present  in  person or by proxy  (including
broker  non-votes  and  abstentions)  in  favor of such an  adjournment  if they
determine  additional  solicitation  is  warranted  and in the  interests of the
Fund's shareholders.

     Solicitation of Proxies

     Broker-dealer firms, banks, custodians,  nominees and other fiduciaries may
be  required to forward  soliciting  material  to the  beneficial  owners of the
shares  of  record  on  behalf  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  and to  obtain
authorization  for the execution of proxies.  For those  services,  they will be
reimbursed  by the  Emerging  Technologies  Fund for their  reasonable  expenses
incurred in connection with the proxy  solicitation to the extent the Fund would
have directly borne those expenses.

     In addition to  solicitations  by mail,  solicitations  may be conducted by
telephone  or email  including  by a proxy  solicitation  firm hired at Emerging
Technologies  Fund's expense. It is expected that a proxy solicitation firm will
be  hired.  It is  estimated  that the  cost to  Emerging  Technologies  Fund of
engaging a proxy solicitation firm would not exceed $41,005, plus any additional
costs which would be incurred in connection with contacting  those  shareholders
who have not voted, in the event of a need for  re-solicitation  of votes. These
costs are  included  in the  estimated  total  merger  related  costs  discussed
earlier.  Currently, if the Manager determines to retain the services of a proxy
solicitation firm on behalf of the Fund, the Manager  anticipates  retaining The
Altman Group, Inc. Any proxy  solicitation firm engaged by the Fund, among other
things, will be: (i) required to maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder
information;  (ii) prohibited from selling or otherwise  disclosing  shareholder
information  to any third party;  and (iii)  required to comply with  applicable
telemarketing laws.

     o Voting By  Broker-Dealers.  Shares owned of record by broker-dealers  (or
record owners) for the benefit of their customers ("street account shares") will
be voted by the broker-dealer based on instructions received from its customers.
If no instructions are received,  the broker-dealer  does not have discretionary
power  ("broker  non-vote") to vote such street  account  shares on the Proposal
under applicable  stock exchange rules.  Broker non-votes will not be counted as
present nor entitled to vote for purposes of  determining a quorum nor will they
be counted as votes "for" or "against" the Proposal. Beneficial owners of street
account  shares  cannot vote at the meeting.  Only record owners may vote at the
meeting.

     o Voting by the Trustee for  OppenheimerFunds-Sponsored  Retirement  Plans.
Shares held in  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  retirement  accounts for which votes
are not received as of the last  business day before the Meeting  Date,  will be
voted by the trustee  for such  accounts  in the same  proportion  as Shares for
which voting  instructions  from the Fund's other  shareholders have been timely
received.

     Revoking a Proxy

     You may  revoke  a  previously  granted  proxy  at any  time  before  it is
exercised by: (1)  delivering a written  notice to the Fund  expressly  revoking
your  proxy,  (2)  signing  and  sending to the Fund a  later-dated  proxy,  (3)
telephone  or internet or (4)  attending  the Meeting and casting  your votes in
person  if you are a record  owner.  Please be  advised  that the  deadline  for
revoking your proxy by telephone or the internet is 3:00 p.m.,  Eastern Time, on
the last business day before the Meeting.

     What other matters will be voted upon at the Meeting?

     The Board of  Trustees  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund does not intend to
bring any matters before the Meeting other than those described in this combined
Prospectus  and Proxy  Statement.  Neither the Board nor the Manager is aware of
any other matters to be brought before the Meeting by others.  Matters not known
at the time of the  solicitation  may come  before  the  Meeting.  The  proxy as
solicited  confers  discretionary  authority  with  respect to such matters that
might   properly  come  before  the  Meeting,   including  any   adjournment  or
adjournments  thereof,  and  it  is  the  intention  of  the  persons  named  as
attorneys-in-fact  in the  proxy  (or  their  substitutes)  to vote the proxy in
accordance with their judgment on such matters.

     o  Shareholder  Proposals.  The Funds are not required and do not intend to
hold shareholder  meetings on a regular basis.  Special meetings of shareholders
may be  called  from  time to time by  either  a Fund or the  shareholders  (for
certain matters and under special conditions  described in the Funds' Statements
of  Additional  Information).  Under  the  proxy  rules of the SEC,  shareholder
proposals  that  meet  certain  conditions  may be  included  in a fund's  proxy
statement  for a  particular  meeting.  Those rules  currently  require that for
future  meetings,  the shareholder  must be a record or beneficial owner of Fund
shares  either  (i)  with a value  of at  least  $2,000  or  (ii)  in an  amount
representing  at least 1% of the Fund's  securities to be voted, at the time the
proposal is submitted and for one year prior  thereto,  and must continue to own
such shares through the date on which the meeting is held.  Another  requirement
relates to the timely receipt by a Fund of any such proposal. Under those rules,
a proposal must have been  submitted a reasonable  time before the Fund began to
print  and mail this  Proxy  Statement  in order to be  included  in this  Proxy
Statement. A proposal submitted for inclusion in a Fund's proxy material for the
next special  meeting  after the meeting to which this Proxy  Statement  relates
must be received by the Fund a  reasonable  time before the Fund begins to print
and mail the proxy materials for that meeting.  Notice of shareholder  proposals
to be presented at the Meeting must have been received  within a reasonable time
before  the Fund  began to mail  this  Proxy  Statement.  The fact that the Fund
receives a proposal  from a qualified  shareholder  in a timely  manner does not
ensure its inclusion in the proxy materials because there are other requirements
under the proxy rules for such inclusion.

     o  Shareholder  Communications  to the  Board.  Shareholders  who desire to
communicate  generally with the Board should address their correspondence to the
Board of Trustees of the applicable Fund and may submit their  correspondence by
mail to the Fund at 6803  South  Tucson  Way,  Centennial,  CO 80112,  attention
Secretary of the Fund;  and if the  correspondence  is intended for a particular
Trustee, the shareholder should so indicate.

                     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

     Both  Funds also file  proxy  materials,  proxy  voting  reports  and other
information  with the SEC in accordance with the  informational  requirements of
the Securities  and Exchange Act of 1934 and the  Investment  Company Act. These
materials  can be inspected  and copied at: the SEC's Public  Reference  Room in
Washington,  D.C.  (Phone:  1.202.942.8090)  or the EDGAR  database on the SEC's
website at www.sec.gov. Copies may be obtained upon payment of a duplicating fee
by  electronic  request at the SEC's e-mail  address:  publicinfo@sec.gov  or by
writing to the SEC's Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

     Householding of Reports to Shareholders and Other Funds' Documents

     To avoid sending  duplicate  copies of materials to  households,  the Funds
mail only one copy of each report to shareholders  having the same last name and
address on the Funds'  records.  The  consolidation  of these  mailings,  called
householding,  benefits the Funds through reduced mailing expenses.  If you want
to receive  multiple  copies of these  materials or request  householding in the
future, you may call the transfer agent at  1.800.647.7374.  You may also notify
the  transfer  agent in writing at 6803 South Tucson Way,  Centennial,  Colorado
80112.  Individual copies of prospectuses and reports will be sent to you within
30 days after the transfer agent receives your request to stop householding.

     Principal Shareholders

     As of August 3, 2007,  the officers and Directors of Emerging  Technologies
Fund as a group, and of Capital Appreciation Fund as a group, owned less than 1%
of the outstanding  voting shares of any class of their  respective  Fund. As of
August 3, 2007,  the only  persons who owned of record or were known by Emerging
Technologies Fund or Capital Appreciation Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of
any  class of the  outstanding  shares  of that  respective  Fund are  listed in
Exhibit B.

2007  by  and  between   Oppenheimer   Emerging   Technologies  Fund  ("Emerging
Technologies  Fund"),  a Massachusetts  business trust and  Oppenheimer  Capital

Fund in exchange for the voting  shares of  beneficial  interest  ("shares")  of
Class A, Class B,  Class C,  Class N and Class Y shares of Capital  Appreciation
Fund and the assumption by Capital  Appreciation Fund of certain  liabilities of
Emerging Technologies Fund, which Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y

Emerging Technologies Fund and complete cancellation of its shares;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  The  parties   hereto   hereby  adopt  this   Agreement   and  Plan  of
Reorganization  (the  "Agreement")  pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Code as
follows:  The  reorganization  will be comprised of the  acquisition  by Capital

business on the Valuation Date shall be fulfilled by Emerging Technologies Fund;
redemption requests received by Emerging Technologies Fund after that date shall
be treated as requests for the redemption of the shares of Capital  Appreciation
Fund to be distributed  to the  shareholder in question as provided in Section 5
hereof.

     2. On the  Closing  Date (as  hereinafter  defined),  all of the  assets of
Emerging  Technologies  Fund on that date,  excluding a cash  reserve (the "Cash
Reserve")  to be  retained  by  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  sufficient  in its
discretion  for the  payment of the  expenses of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund's
dissolution and its liabilities, but not in excess of the amount contemplated by
Section 10E, shall be delivered as provided in Section 8 to Capital Appreciation
Fund, in exchange for and against delivery to Emerging  Technologies Fund on the
Closing  Date of a number  of Class A,  Class B,  Class C,  Class N and  Class Y
shares of Capital  Appreciation  Fund, having an aggregate net asset value equal
to the value of the assets of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund so  transferred  and
delivered.

     3. The net asset  value of Class A,  Class B,  Class C, Class N and Class Y
shares of  Capital  Appreciation  Fund and the value of the  assets of  Emerging
Technologies  Fund to be transferred  shall in each case be determined as of the
close of business  of The New York Stock  Exchange on the  Valuation  Date.  The
computation of the net asset value of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and
Class Y shares of Capital  Appreciation  Fund and the Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class N and Class Y shares of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund shall be done in the
manner  used by  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  and  Emerging  Technologies  Fund,
respectively,  in the computation of such net asset value per share as set forth
in their respective prospectuses.  The methods used by Capital Appreciation Fund
in such computation  shall be applied to the valuation of the assets of Emerging
Technologies Fund to be transferred to Capital Appreciation Fund.

     Emerging  Technologies Fund shall declare and pay, immediately prior to the
Valuation Date, a dividend or dividends  which,  together with all previous such
dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to Emerging Technologies Fund's
shareholders  all of Emerging  Technologies  Fund's  investment  company taxable
income  for  taxable  years  ending on or prior to the  Closing  Date  (computed
without  regard to any dividends  paid) and all of its net capital gain, if any,
realized  in  taxable  years  ending  on or prior  to the  Closing  Date  (after
reduction for any capital loss carry-forward).

     4. The closing (the "Closing") shall be at the offices of OppenheimerFunds,
Inc. (the "Agent"),  6803 S. Tucson Way,  Centennial,  CO 80112, on such time or
such other place as the parties may designate or as provided below (the "Closing
Date"). The business day preceding the Closing Date is herein referred to as the
"Valuation Date."

     In the event that on the Valuation  Date either party has,  pursuant to the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), or any rule,  regulation
or order thereunder, suspended the redemption of its shares or postponed payment
therefore,  the Closing  Date shall be  postponed  until the first  business day
after the date when both parties have ceased such  suspension  or  postponement;
provided,  however,  that if such  suspension  shall continue for a period of 60
days beyond the Valuation  Date,  then the other party to the Agreement shall be
permitted to terminate the Agreement  without liability to either party for such
termination.

     5. In  conjunction  with the  Closing,  Emerging  Technologies  Fund  shall
distribute on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund
as of the  Valuation  Date Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares
of Capital  Appreciation  Fund  received  by Emerging  Technologies  Fund on the
Closing  Date in  exchange  for the  assets  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund in
complete  liquidation  of  Emerging  Technologies  Fund.  For the purpose of the
distribution by Emerging Technologies Fund of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N
and Class Y shares of Capital Appreciation Fund to Emerging  Technologies Fund's
shareholders,  Capital  Appreciation Fund will promptly cause its transfer agent
to: (a) credit an  appropriate  number of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and
Class Y shares of Capital Appreciation Fund on the books of Capital Appreciation
Fund to each  Class A,  Class B,  Class C,  Class N and Class Y  shareholder  of
Emerging Technologies Fund in accordance with a list (the "Shareholder List") of
Emerging  Technologies  Fund  shareholders  received from Emerging  Technologies
Fund; and (b) confirm an appropriate  number of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class
N and Class Y shares of  Capital  Appreciation  Fund to each  Class A,  Class B,
Class C, Class N and Class Y shareholder of Emerging Technologies Fund.

     The  Shareholder  List shall  indicate,  as of the close of business on the
Valuation   Date,  the  name  and  address  of  each   shareholder  of  Emerging
Technologies Fund,  indicating his or her share balance.  Emerging  Technologies
Fund  agrees to supply the  Shareholder  List to Capital  Appreciation  Fund not
later than the Closing Date.  Shareholders of Emerging Technologies Fund holding
certificates  representing their shares shall not be required to surrender their
certificates to anyone in connection with the reorganization.  After the Closing
Date,  however,  it will be necessary for such  shareholders  to surrender their
certificates  in order to  redeem,  transfer  or pledge  the  shares of  Capital
Appreciation Fund which they received.

     6. Within one year after the Closing Date, Emerging Technologies Fund shall
(a) either pay or make  provision  for  payment  of all of its  liabilities  and
taxes,  and (b) either (i) transfer any remaining  amount of the Cash Reserve to
Capital Appreciation Fund, if such remaining amount (as reduced by the estimated
cost of distributing it to  shareholders)  is not material (as defined below) or
(ii)  distribute  such  remaining   amount  to  the   shareholders  of  Emerging
Technologies  Fund on the Valuation Date. Such remaining  amount shall be deemed
to be material if the amount to be distributed, after deduction of the estimated
expenses of the  distribution,  equals or exceeds one cent per share of Emerging
Technologies Fund outstanding on the Valuation Date.

     7. Prior to the Closing Date, Emerging  Technologies Fund's portfolio shall
be analyzed to ensure that the  requisite  percentage  of Emerging  Technologies
Fund's  portfolio  meets Capital  Appreciation  Fund's  investment  policies and
restrictions so that, after the Closing,  Capital  Appreciation  Fund will be in
compliance with all of its investment policies and restrictions. At the Closing,
Emerging Technologies Fund shall deliver to Capital Appreciation Fund two copies
of a list setting forth the securities then owned by Emerging Technologies Fund.
Promptly after the Closing,  Emerging  Technologies  Fund shall provide  Capital
Appreciation  Fund a list setting forth the respective  federal income tax bases
thereof.

     8.  Portfolio   securities  or  written  evidence   acceptable  to  Capital
Appreciation Fund of record ownership thereof by The Depository Trust Company or
through the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or any other  depository  approved
by Emerging  Technologies  Fund  pursuant to Rule 17f-4 and Rule 17f-5 under the
Act shall be endorsed and delivered,  or transferred by appropriate  transfer or
assignment  documents,  by Emerging  Technologies  Fund on the  Closing  Date to
Capital Appreciation Fund, or at its direction, to its custodian bank, in proper
form for transfer in such  condition as to constitute  good delivery  thereof in
accordance  with the custom of brokers and shall be accompanied by all necessary
state  transfer  stamps,  if any.  The  cash  delivered  shall be in the form of
certified  or bank  cashiers'  checks  or by bank  wire or  intra-bank  transfer
payable to the order of  Capital  Appreciation  Fund for the  account of Capital
Appreciation  Fund.  Class A,  Class B,  Class C,  Class N and Class Y shares of
Capital  Appreciation Fund representing the number of Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class N and Class Y shares of Capital  Appreciation Fund being delivered against
the assets of Emerging  Technologies  Fund,  registered  in the name of Emerging
Technologies  Fund,  shall be transferred to Emerging  Technologies  Fund on the
Closing Date. Such shares shall  thereupon be assigned by Emerging  Technologies
Fund to its shareholders so that the shares of Capital  Appreciation Fund may be
distributed as provided in Section 5.

     If,  at the  Closing  Date,  Emerging  Technologies  Fund is unable to make
delivery  under  this  Section  8 to  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  of any of its
portfolio  securities  or  cash  for the  reason  that  any of  such  securities
purchased  by  Emerging  Technologies  Fund,  or the cash  proceeds of a sale of
portfolio  securities,  prior to the Closing Date have not yet been delivered to
it or Emerging Technologies Fund's custodian,  then the delivery requirements of
this  Section 8 with  respect  to said  undelivered  securities  or cash will be
waived and Emerging  Technologies Fund will deliver to Capital Appreciation Fund
by or on the Closing Date with respect to said  undelivered  securities  or cash
executed copies of an agreement or agreements of assignment in a form reasonably
satisfactory to Capital  Appreciation Fund,  together with such other documents,
including  a due  bill or due  bills  and  brokers'  confirmation  slips  as may
reasonably be required by Capital Appreciation Fund.

     9. Capital  Appreciation Fund shall not assume the liabilities  (except for
portfolio  securities  purchased  which  have not  settled  and for  shareholder
redemption and dividend checks  outstanding) of Emerging  Technologies Fund, but
Emerging Technologies Fund will, nevertheless, use its best efforts to discharge
all known liabilities, so far as may be possible, prior to the Closing Date. The
cost of printing and mailing the proxies and proxy  statements  will be borne by
Emerging  Technologies Fund. Emerging Technologies Fund and Capital Appreciation
Fund will bear the cost of their  respective tax opinion.  Any documents such as
existing  prospectuses  or annual reports that are included in that mailing will
be a cost of the Fund issuing the document.  Any other out-of-pocket expenses of
Capital  Appreciation  Fund and Emerging  Technologies Fund associated with this
reorganization, including legal, accounting and transfer agent expenses, will be
borne by Emerging Technologies Fund and Capital Appreciation Fund, respectively,
in the amounts so incurred by each.

of its date contain any untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state a
fact necessary to make the  statements  concerning it therein not misleading and
that the financial  statements  concerning it will present the information shown
fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles applied on a
basis  consistent  with the  preceding  year.  Each  party also  represents  and
warrants to the other that the Agreement is valid,  binding and  enforceable  in
accordance  with its terms and that the execution,  delivery and  performance of
the Agreement  will not result in any violation of, or be in conflict  with, any

Fund hereby represents to and covenants with Emerging Technologies Fund that, if
the reorganization becomes effective,  Capital Appreciation Fund will treat each
shareholder  of  Emerging   Technologies   Fund  who  received  any  of  Capital
Appreciation  Fund's shares as a result of the reorganization as having made the
minimum initial purchase of shares of Capital Appreciation Fund received by such
shareholder  for the  purpose  of  making  additional  investments  in shares of
Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  regardless  of the value of the  shares of Capital
Appreciation Fund received.

     15.  Capital  Appreciation  Fund  agrees  that it will  prepare  and file a
Registration  Statement  on Form N-14 under the 1933 Act which  shall  contain a

in this connection. Emerging Technologies Fund covenants and agrees to liquidate
and  dissolve  under  the laws of the  State  of  Massachusetts,  following  the
Closing, and, upon Closing, to cause the cancellation of its outstanding shares.

     16. The  obligations of the parties shall be subject to the right of either
party to abandon and  terminate  the Agreement for any reason and there shall be
no  liability  for  damages  or  other  recourse  available  to a  party  not so
terminating this Agreement,  provided,  however,  that in the event that a party
shall  terminate  this  Agreement   without   reasonable  cause,  the  party  so
terminating  shall, upon demand,  reimburse the party not so terminating for all
expenses,  including  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  and fees  incurred in
connection with this Agreement.

     17. The  Agreement may be executed in several  counterparts,  each of which
shall be deemed  an  original,  but all  taken  together  shall  constitute  one
Agreement.  The rights and  obligations  of each party pursuant to the Agreement
shall not be assignable.

     18. All prior or contemporaneous  agreements and representations are merged
into the Agreement,  which  constitutes the entire contract  between the parties
hereto.  No  amendment or  modification  hereof shall be of any force and effect
unless in writing and signed by the parties and no party shall be deemed to have
waived  any  provision  herein  for its  benefit  unless it  executes  a written
acknowledgment of such waiver.

Technologies  Fund  under the  Agreement  are not  binding  upon any  Trustee or
shareholder of Emerging  Technologies  Fund  personally,  but bind only Emerging

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND'S PERFORMANCE

     The following  discussion is included in Capital Appreciation Fund's annual
report dated August 31, 2006, the most recent annual report to shareholders (and
therefore  the  most  recent   management's   discussion  of  fund  performance)
available.  (Although  not  a  part  of  the  Management's  Discussion  of  Fund
Performance,  more current information on the Fund's performance is available in
Capital  Appreciation  Fund's  semi-annual  report dated February 28, 2007 which
includes an interview  with the Fund's  portfolio  manager  regarding the Fund's
performance for the 6-month period ended February 28, 2007. )

     Management's Discussion of Fund's Performance (as of August 31, 2006)

     The  Fund's  Class A  shares  (without  sales  charge)  underperformed  its
benchmark,  the S&P 500 Index,  which returned 8.87% for the 12-month period
ending August 31, 2006, but  outperformed  the Russell 1000 Growth Index,  which
returned 3.68% over the same period,  and significantly  outperformed the Lipper
Large Cap Growth Fund category,  which returned an average of 1.86%. Compared to
its Large Cap Growth competitors, the Fund did quite well, performing well above
the group median. The Fund lagged the broad market in an investment climate that
was  generally  less  favorable  for  growth  companies  than  value  companies.
Individual  stock  performance  was the  primary  influence--both  positive  and
negative--on the portfolio's  returns. On a sector basis, our investments in the
technology and consumer  discretionary  areas were the largest  detractors.  The
Fund's  best-performing  sectors during the period were  financials and consumer
staples.

     Regardless of the broader market backdrop,  the portfolio manager regularly
follows a consistent management strategy.  The Manager's goal continued to be to
conservatively  manage a "core" large-cap growth portfolio  diversified across a
wide variety of sectors.  The portfolio  management  team members do no consider
themselves to be short-term  investors.  The  portfolio  manager  strives to own
companies  believed to have the potential to  meaningfully  grow earnings faster
than the broader market over a three- to five-year time horizon.  In particular,
the portfolio  manager looks for businesses with  sustainable  earnings,  strong
earnings growth and sound capital  management.  The portfolio  manager also pays
close  attention  to  company  valuations  to avoid  paying  too much for growth
opportunities. Although the investment approach is "bottom-up"--meaning that the
portfolio manager selects stocks based on their individual  fundamentals--  also
considered are broad-based secular trends when deciding whether or not to make a
purchase.  In general,  the  portfolio  manager  buys into  businesses  that are
believed to be expanding as a share of the economy, rather than shrinking.

     Over the reporting  period,  the portfolio  manager looked to "flatten" the
portfolio,  reducing some of the Fund's previous  concentrations in larger, more
mature companies,  while reinvesting the proceeds across a variety of sectors in
companies believed to offer more dynamic growth potential.  Another  significant
theme was to reduce the Fund's stake in "old" media and  increase its  weighting
in new media  companies--businesses  that the  portfolio  manager  believes  are
changing  the rules of  advertising  through  the use of new  technologies.  For
example,  the portfolio  manager  favored  Google,  Inc., and Yahoo!,  Inc., two
companies  that have  benefited  from the  Internet's  continued  rapid  growth.
Spending on online advertising--a market category that barely existed five years
ago--has  increased in recent years. The portfolio manager further believes this
trend is still in its  relatively  early stages,  and that such companies may be
well-positioned to take advantage of the worldwide move toward digital media.

     In the energy sector,  the portfolio manager reduced exposure to integrated
energy companies while adding to the Fund's weighting in energy services stocks.
As oil prices remain at historically  high levels,  integrated  energy firms now
have some of the strongest  balance sheets in their history.  In our view,  this
balance-sheet strength is likely to translate into increased capital investment,
which in turn could directly  benefit service  companies such as Halliburton Co.
and  Schlumberger  Ltd.--two  names to which were  added to the Fund's  existing
holdings during the period.

     Two  financial   stocks--Goldman   Sachs  Group,  Inc.  (The)  and  Chicago
Mercantile  Exchange (The)  (CME)--were two of the Fund's  strongest  performers
during the past year.  Goldman Sachs was helped by rising merger and acquisition
activity as well as its  profitable  lending  business to hedge funds.  CME, the
world's largest futures exchange,  continued to benefit from the enormous growth
in the use of  sophisticated  strategies  to  hedge  risk in a  volatile  market
environment.  Also  performing  well were two  non-U.S.-based  consumer-oriented
names--Reckitt Benckiser plc, a household cleaning products company based in the
United  Kingdom,   and  Nestle  SA,  the  well-known  food  company  located  in
Switzerland.  Both stocks were  beneficiaries  of the uncertain market backdrop,
which  increasingly  has driven investors  toward  businesses whose  performance
tends to be relatively insensitive to a slower economy.

     On the negative  side,  the Fund's  biggest  detractor was eBay,  Inc. This
leading  online  auction  house fell in response to increasing  competition  and
slowing  earnings  growth.  Despite its recent poor  performance,  the portfolio
manager remains  optimistic  about the company's  prospects and maintain a large
weighting in the stock. Another  underperformer was XM Satellite Radio Holdings,
Inc., one of two major players in the burgeoning  satellite  radio market.  XM's
shares fell on fears of increasing competition from rival Sirius as well as some
slowdown in  subscriber  growth.  Also  lagging was  computer  manufacturer  and
retailer   Dell,   Inc.,   which   has   been   hurt  by   rising   competition,
weaker-than-expected   earnings  and  quality-control  problems.  The  portfolio
manager concluded that these problems were serious enough to warrant selling our
position in Dell.  Also in technology,  software giant  Microsoft  Corp. saw its
shares fall in response to  competitive  pressures as well as further  delays in
Vista, the company's long-anticipated update to its Windows operating system.

     The fund's  portfolio  holdings,  allocations and strategies are subject to
change.

     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 Capital Appreciation held until August 31,
2006.  In the  case of Class  A,  Class B and  Class C  shares,  performance  is
measured  over a  ten-fiscal-year  period.  In  the  case  of  Class  N  shares,
performance is measured from inception of the Class on March 1, 2001, and in the
case of Class Y shares, from the inception of the class on November 3, 1997. 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,
Class C, and Class N 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 the S&P 500
Index, a broad-based  index of equity  securities  widely  regarded as a general
measure  of  the  performance  of  the  U.S.  equity  securities  market.  Index
performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect
of  transaction  costs,  and none of the data in the graphs  shows the effect of
taxes.  The Fund's  performance  reflects the effects of the Fund's 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 investments in the index.

     The performance  data quoted  represents past  performance,  which does not
guarantee  future  results.  The  investment  return and  principal  value of an
investment  in the  Fund  will  fluctuate  so that an  investor's  shares,  when
redeemed,  may  be  worth  more  or  less  than  their  original  cost.  Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance  quoted. For performance
data current to the most recent month end, visit us at www.oppenheimerfunds.com,
or call us at  1.800.525.7048.  Fund  returns  include  changes in share  price,
reinvested  distributions,  and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares,
the current  maximum  initial  sales  charge of 5.75%;  for Class B shares,  the
contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C
and N shares,  the  contingent 1% deferred  sales charge for the 1-year  period.
There is no sales charge for Class Y shares.  Because Class B shares  convert to
Class A shares 72 months  after  purchase,  since-inception  return  for Class B
shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion.


     Total returns and the ending account  values in the graphs include  changes
in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains  distributions in
a hypothetical  investment for the periods shown. The Fund's total returns shown
do not reflect the  deduction  of income  taxes on an  individual's  investment.
Taxes may reduce your actual  investment  returns on income or gains paid by the
Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

     The Fund's investment  strategy and focus can change over time. The mention
of  specific   fund   holdings   does  not   constitute  a   recommendation   by
OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

     Class A shares of the Fund were first publicly  offered on 1/22/81.  Unless
otherwise  noted,  Class A returns  include the current  maximum  initial  sales
charge of 5.75%.

     Class B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/1/95.  Class B
returns include the applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year)
and 2%  (5-year).  Because  Class B shares  convert  to Class A shares 72 months
after purchase,  the 10-year return for Class B uses Class A performance for the
period  after  conversion.  Class  B  shares  are  subject  to an  annual  0.75%
asset-based sales charge.

     Class C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 12/1/93.  Class C
returns  include  the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge of 1% for the  1-year
period. Class C shares are subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

     Class N shares of the Fund were first publicly  offered on 3/1/01.  Class N
shares are offered only through retirement plans.  Unless otherwise noted, Class
N returns  include the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge of 1% for the 1-year
period. Class N shares are subject to an annual 0.25% asset-based sales charge.

     Class Y shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 11/3/97.  Class Y
shares  are  offered  only to  certain  institutional  investors  under  special
agreements with the Distributor.
