Additional Information About the Trust's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment objective and the principal investment policies of the Trust are described in the Prospectus. This Statement of
Additional Information contains supplemental information about those policies and the types of securities that the Trust's investment
manager, Centennial Asset Management Corporation, (referred to as, the "Manager") will select for the Trust. Additional explanations
are also provided about the strategies the Trust may use to try to achieve its objective.

The Trust's Investment Policies. The composition of the Trust's portfolio and the techniques and strategies that the Trust's Manager
uses in selecting portfolio securities will vary over time. The Trust is not required to use all of the investment techniques and
strategies described below at all times in seeking its goal. It may use some of the special investment techniques and strategies at
some times or not at all.

The Trust does not make investments with the objective of seeking capital growth. However, the values of the securities held
by the Trust may be affected by changes in general interest rates and other factors, prior to their maturity. Because the current
values of debt securities vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, if interest rates increase after a security is
purchased, that security will normally fall in value. Conversely, should interest rates decrease after a security is purchased,
normally its value will rise.

However, those fluctuations in value will not generally result in realized gains or losses to the Trust unless the Trust
sells the security prior to the security's maturity. A debt security held to maturity is redeemable by its issuer at full principal
value plus accrued interest. The Trust does not usually intend to dispose of securities prior to their maturity, but may do so for
liquidity purposes, or because of other factors affecting the issuer that cause the Manager to sell the particular security. In that
case, the Trust could realize a capital gain or loss on the sale.

There are variations in the credit quality of municipal securities, both within a particular rating classification and
between classifications. These variations depend on numerous factors. The yields of municipal securities depend on a number of
factors, including general conditions in the municipal securities market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the
obligation and rating (if any) of the issue. These factors are discussed in greater detail below.

Municipal Securities. The types of municipal securities in which the Trust may invest are described in the Prospectus under "About
the Trust's Investments." Municipal securities are generally classified as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and notes. A
discussion of the general characteristics of these principal types of municipal securities follows below.

|X| Municipal Bonds. We have classified municipal securities having a maturity (when the security is issued) of more than
one year as "municipal bonds." The principal classifications of long-term municipal bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue"
(including "industrial development") bonds. They may have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest, as described below.

Some bonds may be "callable," allowing the issuer to redeem them before their maturity date. To protect bondholders,
callable bonds may be issued with provisions that prevent them from being called for a period of time. Typically, that is 5 to 10
years from the issuance date. When interest rates decline, if the call protection on a bond has expired, it is more likely that the
issuer may call the bond. If that occurs, the Trust might have to reinvest the proceeds of the called bond in bonds that pay a lower
rate of return.

|_| General Obligation Bonds. The basic security behind general obligation bonds is the issuer's pledge of its full faith
and credit and taxing power, if any, for the repayment of principal and the payment of interest. Issuers of general obligation bonds
include states, counties, cities, towns, and regional districts. The proceeds of these obligations are used to fund a wide range of
public projects, including construction or improvement of schools, highways and roads, and water and sewer systems. The rate of taxes
that can be levied for the payment of debt service on these bonds may be limited or unlimited. Additionally, there may be limits as
to the rate or amount of special assessments that can be levied to meet these obligations.

|_| Revenue Bonds. The principal security for a revenue bond is generally the net revenues derived from a particular
facility, group of facilities, or, in some cases, the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source. Revenue
bonds are issued to finance a wide variety of capital projects. Examples include electric, gas, water and sewer systems; highways,
bridges, and tunnels; port and airport facilities; colleges and universities; and hospitals.

Although the principal security for these types of bonds may vary from bond to bond, many provide additional security in the
form of a debt service reserve fund that may be used to make principal and interest payments on the issuer's obligations. Housing
finance authorities have a wide range of security, including partially or fully insured mortgages, rent subsidized and/or
collateralized mortgages, and/or the net revenues from housing or other public projects. Some authorities provide further security
in the form of a state's ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve fund.

|_| Industrial Development Bonds. Industrial development bonds are considered municipal bonds if the interest paid is
exempt from federal income tax. They are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to raise money to finance various privately
operated facilities for business and manufacturing, housing, sports, and pollution control. These bonds may also be used to finance
public facilities such as airports, mass transit systems, ports, and parking. The payment of the principal and interest on such
bonds is dependent solely on the ability of the facility's user to meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and
personal property financed by the bond as security for those payments.

|_| Private Activity Municipal Securities. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Tax Reform Act") reorganized, as well as
amended, the rules governing tax exemption for interest on certain types of municipal securities. The Tax Reform Act generally did
not change the tax treatment of bonds issued in order to finance governmental operations. Thus, interest on general obligation bonds
issued by or on behalf of state or local governments, the proceeds of which are used to finance the operations of such governments,
continues to be tax-exempt. However, the Tax Reform Act limited the use of tax-exempt bonds for non-governmental (private)
purposes. More stringent restrictions were placed on the use of proceeds of such bonds. Interest on certain private activity bonds
is taxable under the revised rules. There is an exception for "qualified" tax-exempt private activity bonds, for example, exempt
facility bonds including certain industrial development bonds, qualified mortgage bonds, qualified Section 501(c)(3) bonds, and
qualified student loan bonds. Normally, the Trust will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in private activity municipal
securities or other taxable investments.

In addition, limitations as to the amount of private activity bonds which each state may issue were revised downward by the
Tax Reform Act, which will reduce the supply of such bonds. The value of the Trust's portfolio could be affected if there is a
reduction in the availability of such bonds.

Interest on certain private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, which continues to be tax-exempt, will be treated as
a tax preference item subject to the alternative minimum tax (discussed below) to which certain taxpayers are subject. The Trust may
hold municipal securities the interest on which (and thus a proportionate share of the exempt-interest dividends paid by the Trust)
will be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations.

The federal alternative minimum tax is designed to ensure that all persons who receive income pay some tax, even if their
regular tax is zero. This is accomplished in part by including in taxable income certain tax preference items that are used to
calculate alternative minimum taxable income. The Tax Reform Act made tax-exempt interest from certain private activity bonds a tax
preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations. Any exempt-interest dividend paid by a
regulated investment company will be treated as interest on a specific private activity bond to the extent of the proportionate
relationship the interest the investment company receives on such bonds bears to all its exempt interest dividends.

In addition, corporate taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax may, under some circumstances, have to include
exempt-interest dividends in calculating their alternative minimum taxable income. That could occur in situations where the "adjusted
current earnings" of the corporation exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income.

To determine whether a municipal security is treated as a taxable private activity bond, it is subject to a test for: (a) a
trade or business use and security interest, or (b) a private loan restriction. Under the trade or business use and security interest
test, an obligation is a private activity bond if: (i) more than 10% of the bond proceeds are used for private business purposes and
(ii) 10% or more of the payment of principal or interest on the issue is directly or indirectly derived from such private use or is
secured by the privately used property or the payments related to the use of the property. For certain types of uses, a 5% threshold
is substituted for this 10% threshold.

The term "private business use" means any direct or indirect use in a trade or business carried on by an individual or
entity other than a state or municipal governmental unit. Under the private loan restriction, the amount of bond proceeds that may
be used to make private loans is limited to the lesser of 5% or $5.0 million of the proceeds. Thus, certain issues of municipal
securities could lose their tax-exempt status retroactively if the issuer fails to meet certain requirements as to the expenditure of
the proceeds of that issue or the use of the bond-financed facility. The Trust makes no independent investigation of the users of
such bonds or their use of proceeds of the bonds. If the Trust should hold a bond that loses its tax-exempt status retroactively,
there might be an adjustment to the tax-exempt income previously distributed to shareholders.

Additionally, a private activity bond that would otherwise be a qualified tax-exempt private activity bond will not, under
Internal Revenue Code Section 147(a), be a qualified bond for any period during which it is held by a person who is a "substantial
user" of the facilities or by a "related person" of such a substantial user. This "substantial user" provision applies primarily to
exempt facility bonds, including industrial development bonds. The Trust may invest in industrial development bonds and other private
activity bonds. Therefore, the Trust may not be an appropriate investment for entities which are "substantial users" (or persons
related to "substantial users") of such exempt facilities. Those entities and persons should consult their tax advisers before
purchasing shares of the Trust.

A "substantial user" of such facilities is defined generally as a "non-exempt person who regularly uses part of a facility"
financed from the proceeds of exempt facility bonds. Generally, an individual will not be a "related person" under the Internal
Revenue Code unless such individual or the individual's immediate family (spouse, brothers, sisters and immediate descendants) own
directly or indirectly in the aggregate more than 50% in value of the equity of a corporation or partnership which is a "substantial
user" of a facility financed from the proceeds of exempt facility bonds.

|X| Municipal Notes. Municipal securities having a maturity (when the security is issued) of one year or less are generally
known as municipal notes. Municipal notes generally are used to provide for short-term working capital needs. Some of the types of
municipal notes the Trust can invest in are described below.

|_| Tax Anticipation Notes. These are issued to finance working capital needs of municipalities. Generally, they are
issued in anticipation of various seasonal tax revenue, such as income, sales, use or other business taxes, and are payable from
these specific future taxes.

|_| Revenue Anticipation Notes. These are notes issued in expectation of receipt of other types of revenue, such as
federal revenues available under federal revenue-sharing programs.

|_| Bond Anticipation Notes. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term financing
can be arranged. The long-term bonds that are issued typically also provide the money for the repayment of the notes.

|_| Construction Loan Notes. These are sold to provide project construction financing until permanent financing can be
secured. After successful completion and acceptance of the project, it may receive permanent financing through public agencies, such
as the Federal Housing Administration.

|X| Tax Exempt Commercial Paper. This type of short-term obligation (usually having a maturity of 270 days or less) is
issued by a municipality to meet current working capital needs.

|X| Municipal Lease Obligations. The Trust's investments in municipal lease obligations may be through certificates of
participation that are offered to investors by public entities. Municipal leases may take the form of a lease or an installment
purchase contract issued by a state or local government authority to obtain funds to acquire a wide variety of equipment and
facilities.

Some municipal lease securities may be deemed to be "illiquid" securities. Their purchase by the Trust would be limited as
described below in "Illiquid Securities." From time to time the Trust may invest more than 5% of its net assets in municipal lease
obligations that the Manager has determined to be liquid under guidelines set by the Board of Trustees. Those guidelines require the
Manager to evaluate:
|_| the frequency of trades and price quotations for such securities;
|_| the number of dealers or other potential buyers willing to purchase or sell such securities;
|_| the availability of market-makers; and
|_| the nature of the trades for such securities.

Municipal leases have special risk considerations. Although lease obligations do not constitute general obligations of the
municipality for which the municipality's taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation is ordinarily backed by the municipality's
covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease obligations contain
"non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in
future years unless money is appropriated for that purpose on a yearly basis. While the obligation might be secured by the lease, it
might be difficult to dispose of that property in case of a default.

Projects financed with certificates of participation generally are not subject to state constitutional debt limitations or
other statutory requirements that may apply to other municipal securities. Payments by the public entity on the obligation
underlying the certificates are derived from available revenue sources. That revenue might be diverted to the funding of other
municipal service projects. Payments of interest and/or principal with respect to the certificates are not guaranteed and do not
constitute an obligation of a state or any of its political subdivisions.

In addition to the risk of "non-appropriation," municipal lease securities do not have as highly liquid a market as
conventional municipal bonds. Municipal leases, like other municipal debt obligations, are subject to the risk of non-payment of
interest or repayment of principal by the issuer. The ability of issuers of municipal leases to make timely lease payments may be
adversely affected in general economic downturns and as relative governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and
local governmental units. A default in payment of income would result in a reduction of income to the Trust. It could also result in
a reduction in the value of the municipal lease and that, as well as a default in repayment of principal, could result in a decrease
in the net asset value of the Trust. While the Trust holds such securities, the Manager will also evaluate the likelihood of a
continuing market for these securities and their credit quality.

Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. The Trust may invest in instruments with floating or variable interest rates. The interest
rate on a floating rate obligation is based on a stated prevailing market rate, such as a bank's prime rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury
Bill rate, the rate of return on commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit, or some other standard. The rate on the
investment is adjusted automatically each time the market rate is adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate obligation is also
based on a stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at a specified interval. Some variable rate or floating rate
obligations in which the Trust may invest have a demand feature entitling the holder to demand payment of an amount approximately
equal to the amortized cost of the instrument or the principal amount of the instrument plus accrued interest at any time, or at
specified intervals not exceeding the maximum time permitted under Rule 2a-7 (which is currently 397 days). These notes may or may
not be backed by bank letters of credit.

Variable rate demand notes may include master demand notes, which are obligations that permit the Trust to invest
fluctuating amounts in a note. The amount may change daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between the Trust, as
the note purchaser, and the issuer of the note. The interest rates on these notes fluctuate from time to time. The issuer of this
type of obligation normally has a corresponding right in its discretion, after a given period, to prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the obligation plus accrued interest. The issuer must give a specified number of days' notice to the holders of those
obligations. Generally, the changes in the interest rate on those securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As
interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less than that for fixed-rate
obligations having the same maturity.

Because these types of obligations are direct lending arrangements between the note purchaser and issuer of the note, these
instruments generally will not be traded. Generally, there is no established secondary market for these types of obligations,
although they are redeemable from the issuer at face value. Accordingly, where these obligations are not secured by letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements, the Trust's right to redeem them is dependent on the ability of the note issuer to pay
principal and interest on demand. These types of obligations usually are not rated by credit rating agencies. The Trust may invest
in obligations that are not rated only if the Manager determines at the time of investment that they are Eligible Securities. The
Manager, on behalf of the Trust, will monitor the creditworthiness of the issuers of the floating and variable rate obligations in
the Trust's portfolio on an ongoing basis. There is no limit on the amount of the Trust's assets that may be invested in floating
rate and variable rate obligations that meet the requirements of Rule 2a-7.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. As stated in the Prospectus, the Trust may invest in municipal securities on a
"when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. Payment for and delivery of the securities shall not exceed 120 days from the date the
offer is accepted. The purchase price and yield are fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment. During the period
between the time of commitment and settlement, no payment is made by the Trust to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Trust
from this investment. However, the Trust intends to be as fully invested as possible and will not invest in when-issued securities
if its income or net asset value will be materially adversely affected. At the time the Trust makes the commitment to purchase a
municipal security on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction on its books and reflect the value of the security in
determining its net asset value. It will also segregate cash or other liquid high quality Securities equal in value to the
commitment for the when-issued securities. While when-issued securities may be sold prior to settlement date, the Trust intends to
acquire the securities upon settlement unless a prior sale appears desirable for investment reasons. There is a risk that the yield
available in the market when delivery occurs may be higher than the yield on the security acquired.

Ratings of Securities - Portfolio Quality, Maturity and Diversification. Under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, the Trust
uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities to determine the Trust's net asset value per share. Rule 2a-7
imposes requirements for the maturity, quality and diversification of the securities which the Trust buys. The Trust may purchase
only those securities that the Manager, under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, has determined have minimal credit risk
and, as such, are "eligible securities".

|_| Quality. Eligible securities are securities that have received a rating in one of the two highest short-term rating
categories by a rating organization. Rating organizations are designated by the SEC. Eligible securities may be "first tier" or
"second tier" securities. First tier securities are those that have received a rating in the highest category for short term debt
obligations by at least two rating organizations. If only one rating organization has rated the security, it must be rated in the
highest category for that rating organization. U.S. government securities and securities issued by a registered money market mutual
fund are also first tier securities.

The Trust may also buy second tier "conduit securities". These eligible securities are securities rated by rating
organizations but are not first tier securities. Conduit securities are municipal securities such as industrial development or
revenue bonds issued to finance non-government projects. The payment of the principal and interest on a conduit security is not the
obligation of the municipal issuer, but is the obligation of another person who is ultimately responsible for the payment of
principal and interest, such as the user of the facility. The Trust may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
conduit securities.

The Trust may also buy unrated securities that the Manager determines are comparable in quality to a first or second
tier security by applying certain criteria established by the Board to determine its creditworthiness. These criteria require a high
quality short term or long-term rating (depending on the security) from a rating organization. Unrated securities the Trust may buy
include asset backed securities and securities subject to "demand features" or "guarantees".

The Trust may purchase a security subject to a guarantee if the guarantee is an eligible security or a first tier
security. The trust may also purchase a security subject to a "conditional" demand feature if the demand feature is an eligible
security and the Manager has decided that the conditional demand feature meets the requirements imposed by Rule 2a-7.

If a security's rating is downgraded, the Manager or the Board of Trustees may have to reassess the security's credit risk.
If a security is downgraded, the Manager or the Board of Trustees will promptly reassess whether the security continues to present
minimal credit risk, reassess the status of the security as an "eligible security," and take such actions as is appropriate. If the
Trust disposes of the security within five days of the Manager learning of the downgrade, the Manager will provide the Board of
Trustees with subsequent notice of such downgrade. If a security is in default, or ceases to be an eligible security, or is
determined no longer to present minimal credit risks, the Board of Trustees must determine whether it would be in the best interests
of the Trust to dispose of the security.

|_| Diversification. With respect to 75% of its total assets, the Trust cannot invest more than 5% of its total assets in
securities issued by one issuer. It cannot invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of one issuer unless the security
is a first tier security. The Trust also cannot invest more than 1% of its total assets or $1.0 million, whichever is greater, in
second tier securities of one issuer. For diversification purposes, the Trust is considered to have purchased the security
underlying a repurchase agreement if the repurchase agreement is fully collateralized. For a refunded security, the Trust is
considered to have the U.S. government securities underlying the refunded security. For conduit securities, the Trust considers the
issuer to be the person ultimately responsible for payment of the obligation. If the Trust buys an asset backed security, the issuer
of the security is deemed to be the "special purpose" entity which issued the security. A special purpose entity is an entity which
is organized solely for the purpose of issuing asset backed securities. If the asset backed securities issued by the special purpose
entity include the obligations of another person or another special purpose entity and those obligations amount to 10% or more of the
asset backed securities the Trust buys, that other person or entity is considered to be the issuer of a pro rata percentage of the
asset backed security.

The Trust may buy a security subject to a demand feature or guarantee. In this case, with respect to 75% of its total
assets, the Trust may not invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities issued by or subject to demand features or
guarantees issued by the same issuer. If the demand feature or guarantee is a second tier security, the Trust may not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in securities subject to demand features or guarantees from the same issuer. And, the Trust may not
invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities issued by or subject to demand features or guarantees from the same issuer.
However, if the demand feature or guarantee is issued by a person who is a non-controlled person, the Trust does not have to limit
its investments to no more than 10% of its total assets in securities issued by or subject to demand features or guarantees from the
same issuer.

|_| Maturity. The Trust must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not more than 90 days, and the
maturity of any single security must not be in excess the maximum permitted maturity under Rule 2a-7 (or any other applicable rule)
which is currently 397 days from the date of purchase. The Trust also may buy adjustable and floating rate securities, enter into
repurchase agreements and lend portfolio securities. Rule 2a-7 defines how the maturities of these securities are determined.

|_| Demand Features and Guarantees. Demand features and guarantees and some of their uses are described in the Prospectus.
The Trust also uses demand features and guarantees to satisfy the maturity, quality and diversification requirements described
above. The Trust considers the person which issues the demand feature as the person to whom the Trust will look for payment. An
unconditional demand feature is considered a guarantee and the Trust looks to the person making the guarantee for payment of the
obligation of the underlying security.

When the Trust buys municipal securities, it may obtain a demand feature from the seller to repurchase the securities
that entitles the Trust to achieve same day settlement from the repurchaser and to receive an exercise price equal to the amortized
cost of the underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. Another type of demand feature purchased in
conjunction with a Municipal Security enables the Trust to sell the underlying security within a specified period of time at a fixed
exercise price. The Trust may pay for demand features either separately in cash or by paying a higher price for the securities
acquired subject to the demand features. The Trust will enter into these transactions only with banks and dealers which, in the
Manager's opinion, present minimal credit risks. The Trust's purchases of demand features are subject to the provisions of Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act because the Trust uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities.

The Trust's ability to exercise a demand feature or guarantee will depend on the ability of the bank or dealer to pay for
the securities if the demand feature or guarantee is exercised. If the bank or dealer should default on its obligation, the Trust
might not be able to recover all or a portion of any loss sustained from having to sell the security elsewhere. Demand features and
guarantees are not transferable by the Trust, and therefore terminate if the Trust sells the underlying security to a third party.
The Trust intends to enter into these arrangements to facilitate portfolio liquidity, although such arrangements may enable the Trust
to sell a security at a pre-arranged price which may be higher than the prevailing market price at the time the demand feature or
guarantee is exercised. Any considerations paid by the Trust for the demand feature (which increases the cost of the security and
reduces the yield otherwise available for the security) will be reflected on the Trust's books as unrealized depreciation while the
demand feature or guarantee is held, and a realized gain or loss when demand feature is exercised or expires.

Other Investment Strategies

Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Trust acquires a security from, and simultaneously resells it to, an
approved vendor (a U.S. commercial bank or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank having total domestic assets of at least $1 billion or a
broker-dealer with a net capital of at least $50 million and which has been designated a primary dealer in government securities).
The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during
which the repurchase agreement is in effect. The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the
resale typically will occur within one to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements are considered "loans" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") collateralized by the underlying security. The Trust's
repurchase agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in effect, the value of the collateral must equal
or exceed the repurchase price to fully collateralize the repayment obligation. Additionally, the Manager will monitor the vendor's
creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value.

Bank Loan Participation Agreements. The Fund may invest in bank loan participation agreements, subject to the investment limitation
set forth in the Prospectus as to investments in illiquid securities. Participation agreements provide an undivided interest in a
loan made by the bank issuing the participation interest in the proportion that the buyer's investment bears to the total principal
amount of the loan. Under this type of arrangement, the issuing bank may have no obligation to the buyer other than to pay principal
and interest on the loan if and when received by the bank. Thus, the Fund must look to the creditworthiness of the borrower, which
is obligated to make payments of principal and interest on the loan. If the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal or interest
payments, the Fund may experience a reduction in income.

Diversification. For purposes of diversification under the Investment Company Act, and the Trust's investment restrictions, the
identification of the issuer of a Municipal Bond or Note depends on the terms and conditions of the security. When the assets and
revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from those of the government creating
the subdivision and the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be
the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an industrial development bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of
the nongovernmental user, then such nongovernmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. If, however, in either case, the
creating government or some other entity guarantees a security, such a guarantee would be considered a separate security and is to be
treated as an issue of such government or other entity. Conduit securities are deemed to be issued by the person ultimately
responsible for payments of interest and principal on the security.

Investment Restrictions

|X| What Are "Fundamental Policies?" Fundamental policies are those policies that the Trust has adopted to govern its
investments that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Trust's outstanding voting securities. Under the Investment
Company Act, 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.

The Trust's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Prospectus or this Statement of
Additional Information are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Trust's Board of Trustees can change
non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval. However, significant changes to investment policies will be described in
supplements or updates to the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, as appropriate. The Trust's most significant
investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

|X| Does the Trust Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the
Trust.

|_| The Trust cannot make loans, except by purchasing debt obligations in accordance with its investment policies as
approved by the Board, or by entering into repurchase agreements, or by lending portfolio securities in accordance with applicable
regulations;

|_| The Trust cannot borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, and then only up
to 10% of the value of its assets; no more than 10% of the Trust's net assets may be pledged, mortgaged or assigned to secure a debt;
no investments may be made while outstanding borrowings, other than by means of reverse repurchase agreements (which are not
considered borrowings under this restriction), exceed 5% of its assets;

|_| The Trust cannot invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets taken at market value in the securities of any
one issuer (not including the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, whose securities may be purchased without
limitation for defensive purposes);

|_| The Trust cannot purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or invest in companies
for the purpose of exercising control;

|_| The Trust cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts or invest in interests in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs;

|_| The Trust cannot invest in real estate; however the Trust may purchase municipal bonds or notes secured by interests
in real estate;

|_| The Trust cannot make short sales of securities or purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credits
necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities;

|_| The Trust cannot invest in or hold securities of any issuer if those officers and trustees or directors of the Trust
or its advisor who beneficially own individually more than 0.5% of the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the
securities of such issuer;

|_| The Trust cannot underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent that, in connection with the
disposition of its portfolio investments, it may be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933;

|_| The Trust cannot invest in securities of other investment companies except as they may be acquired as part of a
merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets; or

|_| The Trust cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the
Trust are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related
obligations.

|_| The Trust cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry; however, for the purposes of this restriction,
municipal securities and U.S. government obligations are not considered to be part of any single industry.

Except for the fundamental investment restriction regarding the Trust's borrowing policy, unless the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional Information states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the
Trust makes an investment. The Trust need not sell securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases
in proportion to the size of the Trust.

For purposes of the Trust's policy not to concentrate its investments in securities of issuers, the Trust has adopted the
industry classifications set forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information. This is not a fundamental policy.

How the Trust is Managed

Organization and History. The Trust is an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust in 1985, with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest.

The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders under
Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust's activities, review its performance, and
review the actions of the Manager. Although the Trust will not normally hold annual meetings of its shareholders, it may hold
shareholder meetings from time to time on important matters. Shareholders of the Trust may have the right to call a meeting to
remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Declaration of Trust.

The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee and a Review Committee. Effective June 25, the members of the Audit Committee
are Edward L. Cameron (Chairman), William L. Armstrong, George C. Bowen and Robert J. Malone. The Audit Committee held six meetings
during the Trust's fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. The Audit Committee provides the Board with recommendations regarding the
selection of the Trust's independent auditor. The Audit Committee also reviews the scope and results of audits and the audit fees
charged, reviews reports from the Trust's independent audit concerning the Trust's internal accounting procedures and controls and
selects and nominates for approval by the Board the independent Trustees, among other duties as set forth in the Committee's charter.

Effective June 25, the members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman), Robert G. Avis, Sam Freedman, Beverly
L. Hamilton, and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Review Committee held six meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. The
Review Committee reviews reports and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the fees paid to the Trust's Transfer Agent and
the services provided to the Trust by the Transfer Agent. The Review Committee also reviews policies and procedures adopted by the
Trust to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other applicable law, among other duties as set forth in the Committee's
charter.

|X| Classes of Shares. The Trust has a single class of shares of stock. While that class has no designation, it is deemed
to be the equivalent of Class A for purposes of the shareholder account policies that apply to Class A shares of the Oppenheimer
funds. Shares of the Trust are freely transferable. Each share has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting
proportionally on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no preemptive or conversion rights and shares participate
equally in the assets of the Trust upon liquidation.

|X| Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust is not required to hold, and does not plan to
hold, regular annual meetings of shareholders. The Trust will hold meetings when required to do so by the Investment Company Act or
other applicable law. It will also do so when a shareholder meeting is called by the Trustees or upon proper request of the
shareholders.

Shareholders have the right, upon the declaration in writing or vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust,
to remove a Trustee. The Trustees 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 the outstanding shares of the Trust. 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 shareholder lists of the Trust 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 Trust valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of the outstanding shares of the Trust, whichever is less. The
Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

|_| Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee
liability for the Trust's obligations. It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Trust's
property for any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that upon request, the
Trust shall assume the defense of any claim made against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and shall satisfy any
judgment on that claim. Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Trust) to be held personally liable
as a "partner" under certain circumstances. However, the risk that a Trust shareholder will incur financial loss from being held
liable as a "partner" of the Trust is limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Trust would be unable to meet its
obligations.

The Trust's contractual arrangements state that any person doing business with the Trust (and each shareholder of the Trust)
agrees under the Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Trust for satisfaction of any claim or demand that may
arise out of any dealings with the Trust. Additionally, the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any such person, to the
extent permitted by law.

year 2000.
4. Effective July 1, 2002, Messrs. Kast and Kirchner retired as Trustees/Directors from the Board II funds.

o Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees. The Trustees have adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for disinterested
Trustees that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled to receive from the
Trust. Under the plan, the compensation deferred by a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The amount paid to the Trustee under this plan will be
determined based upon the performance of the selected funds.

Deferral of fees of the Trustees under this plan will not materially affect the Trust's assets, liabilities or net income
per share. This plan will not obligate the Trust to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of
compensation to any Trustee. Pursuant to an Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trust may invest in the
funds selected by any Trustee under this plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of determining the value of the
Trustees' deferred fee accounts.

|X| Major Shareholders. As of October 9, 2001 the only person who owned of record or was known by the Trust to own
beneficially 5% or more of the Trust's outstanding retail shares was A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., 1 North Jefferson Avenue, St. Louis,
Missouri 63103, which owned 1,893,428,434.615 shares of the Trust which was 98.84% of the outstanding shares of the Trust on that
date, for accounts of its customers none of whom individually owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares.

The Manager. The Manager, Centennial Asset Management Corporation, is wholly-owned by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

The portfolio managers of the Trust are principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trust's investment
portfolio. Other members of the Manager's fixed-income portfolio department, particularly security analysts, traders and other
portfolio managers, have broad experience with fixed-income securities. They provide the Trust's portfolio managers with research
and support in managing the Trust's investments.

|X| The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides investment advisory and management services to the Trust under
an investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Trust. The Manager selects securities for the Trust's portfolio and
handles its day-to-day business. The agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Trust with adequate office
space, facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and
clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the Trust. Those responsibilities include the compilation and
maintenance of records with respect to its operations, the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy
materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Trust.

Expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the investment advisory agreement are paid by the Trust. The investment
advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Trust. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, fees to
unaffiliated Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and
registration costs and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs. The management fees paid by the Trust to the Manager are
calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus.

Under its agreement with the Trust, when the value of the Trust's net assets is less than $1.5 billion, the annual fee
payable to the Manager is reduced by $100,000 based on the average net assets computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rates,
but in no event shall the annual fee be less than $0. This contractual provision did not result in a reduction of the fee which
would otherwise have been payable to the Manager during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, June 30, 2000 and June 31, 2001.

In addition, under its agreement with the Trust, the Manager has agreed to assume that Trust's expenses to the extent that
the total expenses (as described above) of the Trust exceed the most stringent limits prescribed by any state in which the Trust's
shares are offered for sale. The payment of the management fee at the end of any month will be reduced so that at no time will there
be any accrued but unpaid liabilities under any of these expense assumptions. As a result of changes in federal securities laws which
have effectively pre-empted state expense limitations, the contractual commitment relating to such reimbursements is no longer
relevant.

The agreement provides that the Manager assumes no responsibility under the agreement other than that which is imposed by law,
and shall not be responsible for any action of the Board of Trustees of the Trust in following or declining to follow any advice or
recommendations of the Manager. The agreement provides that the Manager shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of
law, or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with matters to which the agreement relates, except a loss resulting by
reason of the Manager's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement.

|X| The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Trust, Centennial Asset Management Corporation acts
as the Trust's principal underwriter and Distributor in the continuous public offering of the Trust's shares. The Distributor is not
obligated to sell a specific number of shares. The Distributor bears the expenses normally attributable to sales, including
advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing shareholders. For other
distribution expenses paid by the Trust, see the section entitled "Service Plan" below. The Trust's Sub-Distributor is
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.

Portfolio Transactions. Portfolio decisions are based upon recommendations and judgment of the Manager subject to the overall
authority of the Board of Trustees. Most purchases made by the Trust are principal transactions at net prices, so the Trust incurs
little or no brokerage costs. The Trust deals directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker without incurring
charges for the services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager determines that a better price or execution may be obtained by
using the services of a broker. Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters include a commission or concession paid by the
issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices.

The Trust seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at the most favorable net price. If broker/dealers are used for
portfolio transactions, transactions may be directed to broker/dealers for their execution and research services. The research
services provided by a particular broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory accounts of the Manager and its
affiliates. Investment research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both to the Trust and one or more
of such other accounts. Investment research services may be supplied to the Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker
through which trades are placed. It may include information and analyses on particular companies and industries as well as market or
economic trends and portfolio strategy, receipt of market quotations for portfolio evaluations, information systems, computer
hardware and similar products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as
bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that provides assistance to the Manager in the
investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager. That
research provides additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager obtain market information for the
valuation of securities held in the Trust's portfolio or being considered for purchase.

Subject to applicable rules covering the Manager's activities in this area, sales of shares of the Trust and/or the other
investment companies managed by the Manager or distributed by the Distributor may also be considered as a factor in the direction of
transactions to dealers. That must be done in conformity with the price, execution and other considerations and practices discussed
above. Those other investment companies may also give similar consideration relating to the sale of the Trust's shares. No
portfolio transactions will be handled by any securities dealer affiliated with the Manager.

The Trust may experience high portfolio turnover that may increase the Trust's transaction costs. However, since brokerage
commissions, if any, are small, high turnover does not have an appreciable adverse effect upon the income of the Trust.

Service Plan

The Trust has adopted a Service Plan for the shares. The plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees2, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

Under the plan, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates and, in their sole discretion, from time to
time, may use their own resources (at no direct cost to the Trust) to make payments to brokers, dealers or other financial
institutions for distribution and administrative services they perform. The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it
receives from the Trust. In their sole discretion, the Distributor and the Manager may increase or decrease the amount of payments
they make from their own resources to plan recipients.

Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in effect from year to year but only if the Trust's Board
of Trustees and its Independent Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance. Approval must be by a vote cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a
majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the
outstanding shares of the Trust.

The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase
materially the amount of payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the class affected by the amendment.
The approval must be by a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the shares.

While the plan is in effect, the Treasurer of the Trust shall provide separate written reports on the plan to the Board of
Trustees at least quarterly for its review. The Reports shall detail the amount of all payments made under the plan and the purpose
for which the payments were made. Those reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

The plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Trustees of the Trust who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees. This does not prevent the involvement
of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the final decision as to selection or nomination is approved by a
majority of the Independent Trustees.

Under the plan, no payment will be made to any recipient in any quarter in which the aggregate net asset value of all Trust
shares held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time
by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees has set no minimum amount of assets to qualify for payments under
the plan.

|X| Service Plan Fees. Under the service plan, the Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Trust to pay
brokers, dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as "recipients") for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold shares. The services include, among others, answering customer
inquiries about the Trust, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the Trust, making the Trust's investment plans
available and providing other services at the request of the Trust or the Distributor. The service plan permits reimbursements to the
Distributor at a rate of up to 0.20% of average annual net assets of the shares. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients
quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.20% of the average annual net assets consisting of shares held in the accounts of the
recipients or their customers.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 payments under the plan totaled $3,538,029, all of which was paid by the Distributor
to recipients. That included $10,068 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
2001, the Manager paid, in the aggregate, $5,254,626 in fees out of its own resources for distribution assistance. Any unreimbursed
expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to the shares in any fiscal quarter cannot be recovered in subsequent quarters. The
Distributor may not use payments received under the plan to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other financial
costs, or allocation of overhead.

Performance of the Trust

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Trust uses a variety of terms to illustrate its performance. These terms include
"yield," "compounded effective yield," "tax-equivalent yield" and "average annual total return." An explanation of how yields and
total returns are calculated is set forth below. The charts below show the Trust's performance as of the Trust's most recent fiscal
year end. You can obtain current performance information by calling the Trust's Transfer Agent at 1.800.525.9310.

The Trust's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must comply with rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Those rules describe the types of performance data that may be used and how it is to be calculated. If the Trust shows
total returns in addition to its yields, the returns must be for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ending as of the most recent calendar
quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its submission for publication).

Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to compare the Trust's performance to the performance of
other funds for the same periods. However, a number of factors should be considered before using the Trust's performance information
as a basis for comparisons with other investments:

o Yields and total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the Trust over various periods and do not show
the performance of each shareholder's account. Your account's performance will vary from the model performance data if
your dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period, or you bought your shares at a
different time than the shares used in the model.
o An investment in the Trust is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
o The Trust's yield is not fixed or guaranteed and will fluctuate.
o Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information and are not, and should not
be considered, a prediction of future yields or returns.

|_| Yields. The Trust's current yield is calculated for a seven-day period of time as follows. First, a base period
return is calculated for the seven-day period by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account
having one share at the beginning of the seven-day period. The change includes dividends declared on the original share and
dividends declared on any shares purchased with dividends on that share, but such dividends are adjusted to exclude any realized or
unrealized capital gains or losses affecting the dividends declared. Next, the base period return is multiplied by 365/7 to obtain
the current yield to the nearest hundredth of one percent.

The compounded effective yield for a seven-day period is calculated by
(1) adding 1 to the base period return (obtained as described above),
(2) raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and
(3) subtracting 1 from the result.

The yield as calculated above may vary for accounts less than approximately $100 in value due to the effect of rounding off
each daily dividend to the nearest full cent. The calculation of yield under either procedure described above does not take into
consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on the Trust's portfolio securities which may affect dividends. Therefore,
the return on dividends declared during a period may not be the same on an annualized basis as the yield for that period.

|_| Tax-Equivalent Yield. The Trust's "tax equivalent yield" adjusts the Trust's current yield, as calculated above,
by a stated federal tax rate. The tax equivalent yield is computed by dividing the tax-exempt portion of the Trust's current yield
by one minus a stated income tax rate and adding the result to the portion (if any) of the Trust's current yield that is not
tax-exempt. The tax equivalent yield may be compounded as described above to provide a compounded effective tax equivalent yield.

The Trust's tax equivalent yield may be used to compare the tax effects of income derived from the Trust with income from
taxable investments at the tax rates stated. Your tax bracket is determined by your federal taxable income (the net amount subject
to federal income tax after deductions and exemptions). The tax equivalent yield table assumes that the investor is taxed at the
highest bracket, regardless of whether a switch to non-taxable investments would cause a lower bracket to apply and that state income
tax payments are fully deductible for income tax purposes. For taxpayers with income above certain levels, otherwise allowable
itemized deductions are limited.
o Total Return Information. There are different types of "total returns" to measure the Trust's performance. Total return
is the change in value of a hypothetical investment in the Trust over a given period, assuming that all dividends and capital gains
distributions are reinvested in additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. The cumulative total
return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual total return shows the
average rate of return for each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However,
average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. The Trust uses standardized calculations for its total
returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

|_| Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total return" of each class is an average annual compounded rate of
return for each year in a specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial
investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of years ("n") to achieve an Ending Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the
formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:

1/n
(ERV)
(---) -1 = Average Annual Total Return
( P )

|_| Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return" calculation measures the change in value of a hypothetical
investment of $1,000 over an entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average annual total return,
but it does not average the rate of return on an annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

ERV - P
------- = Total Return

|X| Other Performance Comparisons. Yield information may be useful to investors in reviewing the Trust's performance. The
Trust may make comparisons between its yield and that of other investments, by citing various indices such as The Bank Rate Monitor
National Index (provided by Bank Rate Monitor) which measures the average rate paid on bank money market accounts, NOW accounts and
certificates of deposits by the 100 largest banks and thrifts in the top ten metro areas. When comparing the Trust's yield with that
of other investments, investors should understand that certain other investment alternatives such as certificates of deposit, U.S.
government securities, money market instruments or bank accounts may provide fixed yields and may be insured or guaranteed.

From time to time, the Trust may include in its advertisements and sales literature performance information about the Trust
cited in other newspapers and periodicals, such as The New York Times, which may include performance quotations from other sources.

From time to time the Trust may include in its advertisements and sales literature the total return performance of a hypothetical
investment account that includes shares of the Trust and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined account may be part of an illustration
of an asset allocation model or similar presentation. The account performance may combine total return performance of the Trust and
the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Trust's
advertisements and sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes, statistical data or other information
about general or specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,
o information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or segments of those markets,
o information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,
o the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,
o the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,
o information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of the United States or other countries or regions,
o comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Trust.

How to Buy Shares

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value per share of the Trust is determined twice each day that the New York
Stock Exchange ("Exchange") is open, at 12:00 Noon and at 4:00 P.M., on each day that the Exchange is open, by dividing the value of
the Trust's net assets by the total number of shares outstanding. All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information
mean New York time. The Exchange's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New
Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

The Trust's Board of Trustees has adopted the amortized cost method to value the Trust's portfolio securities. Under the
amortized cost method, a security is valued initially at its cost and its valuation assumes a constant amortization of any premium or
accretion of any discount, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security. This method
does not take into consideration any unrealized capital gains or losses on securities. While this method provides certainty in
valuing securities, in certain periods the value of a security determined by amortized cost may be higher or lower than the price the
Trust would receive if it sold the security.

The Trust's Board of Trustees has established procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the Trust's net asset value at
$1.00 per share. Those procedures include a review of the valuations of the Trust's portfolio holdings by the Board of Trustees, at
intervals it deems appropriate, to determine whether the Trust's net asset value calculated by using available market quotations
deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost.

The Board of Trustees will examine the extent of any deviation between the Trust's net asset value based upon available
market quotations and amortized cost. If the Trust's net asset value were to deviate from $1.00 by more than 0.5%, Rule 2a-7 requires
the Board of Trustees to consider what action, if any, should be taken. If they find that the extent of the deviation may cause a
material dilution or other unfair effects on shareholders, the Board of Trustees will take whatever steps it considers appropriate to
eliminate or reduce the dilution, including, among others, withholding or reducing dividends, paying dividends from capital or
capital gains, selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten the average maturity
of the portfolio, or calculating net asset value per share by using available market quotations.

During periods of declining interest rates, the daily yield on shares of the Trust may tend to be lower (and net investment
income and dividends higher) than those of a fund holding the identical investments as the Trust but which used a method of portfolio
valuation based on market prices or estimates of market prices. During periods of rising interest rates, the daily yield of the Trust
would tend to be higher and its aggregate value lower than that of an identical portfolio using market price valuation.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to the Bank for clearance, the Bank will ask the Trust to redeem a sufficient number of full
and fractional shares in the shareholder's account to cover the amount of the check. This enables the shareholder to continue
receiving dividends on those shares until the check is presented to the Trust. Checks may not be presented for payment at the
offices of the Bank or the Trust's Custodian. This limitation does not affect the use of checks for the payment of bills or to
obtain cash at other banks. The Trust reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering checkwriting privileges at any
time without prior notice.

In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing the Account Application or by completing a
Checkwriting card, each individual who signs:
(1) for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered owner(s) of the shares of the Trust in that account;
(2) for accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts and other entities, represents that they are an officer, general
partner, trustee or other fiduciary or agent, as applicable, duly authorized to act on behalf of the registered
owner(s);
(3) authorizes the Trust, its Transfer Agent and any bank through which the Trust's drafts (checks) are payable to pay all
checks drawn on the Trust account of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient amount of shares from that account to
cover payment of each check;
(4) specifically acknowledges that if they choose to permit checks to be honored if there is a single signature on checks
drawn against joint accounts, or accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities, the signature of any
one signatory on a check will be sufficient to authorize payment of that check and redemption from the account, even if
that account is registered in the names of more than one person or more than one authorized signature appears on the
Checkwriting card or the Application, as applicable;
(5) understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or amended at any time by the Trust and/or the Trust's bank;
and
(6) acknowledges and agrees that neither the Trust nor its bank shall incur any liability for that amendment or termination of
checkwriting privileges or for redeeming shares to pay checks reasonably believed by them to be genuine, or for
returning or not paying checks that have not been accepted for any reason.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Federal Funds wire of redemptions proceeds may be delayed if the Trust's
custodian bank is not open for business on a day when the Trust would normally authorize the wire to be made, which is usually the
Trust's next regular business day following the redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until the next
bank business day on which the Trust is open for business. No distributions will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares
awaiting transfer by Federal Funds wire

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans,
401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to "Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer
Agent at its address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement of Additional
Information. The request must
(1) state the reason for the distribution;
(2) state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and
(3) conform to the requirements of the plan and the Trust's other redemption requirements.

Participants (other than self-employed persons) in OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of
the Trust held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request redemption of their accounts. The plan
administrator or fiduciary must sign the request.

Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and
certain documents (available from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer Agent before the distribution
may be made. Distributions from retirement plans are subject to withholding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, and IRS
Form W-4P (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution request, or the
distribution may be delayed. Unless the shareholder has provided the Transfer Agent with a certified tax identification number, the
Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld from any distribution even if the shareholder elects not to have tax withheld.
The Trust, the Manager, the Distributor the Sub-Distributor, and the Transfer Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a
distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and will not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed in connection
with a distribution.

1 - "OSM" stands for Oppenheimer Select Managers

Shares of the Trust purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares of an eligible fund offered with a sales
charge upon payment of the sales charge. Shares of the Trust acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from the Trust
or any of the other eligible funds (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) or from any unit investment trust for which reinvestment
arrangements have been made with the Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the eligible funds.

|_| Limits on Multiple Exchange Orders. The Trust reserves the right to reject telephone or written exchange requests
submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than one account. The Trust may accept requests for exchanges of up to 50 accounts per
day from representatives of authorized dealers that qualify for this privilege.

|_| Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone, a direct shareholder must have an existing account in
the fund to which the exchange is to be made. Otherwise, the investor must obtain a prospectus of that fund before the exchange
request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

|_| Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on the regular business day the Transfer Agent
receives an exchange request in proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired are purchased on
the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by either fund up to five business days if it determines that it would be
disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Trust reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse any
exchange request that may disadvantage it (for example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from a dealer might require the
disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Trust).

In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged may be less than the number requested if the
exchange or the number requested would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this Statement of
Additional Information or would include shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases,
only the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

The different eligible funds available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder
should assure that the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of the tax consequences of an
exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one fund and a purchase
of shares of another. The Trust, the Distributor, the Sub-Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment, tax
or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.

The Trust may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Although, the Trust may impose these changes
at any time, it will provide you with notice of those changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. It may be required
to provide 60 days notice prior to materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60-day notice is not required in
extraordinary circumstances.

Dividends and Taxes

Tax Status of the Trust's Dividends and Distributions. The federal tax treatment of the Trust's dividends and capital gains
distributions is explained in the Prospectus under the caption "Distributions and Taxes." Under the Internal Revenue Code, by
December 31 each year, the Trust must distribute 98% of its taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of
that year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current
year. It if does not, the Trust must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. It is presently anticipated that the Trust
will meet those requirements. However, the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be
in the best interest of shareholders for the Trust not to make distributions at the required levels and to pay the excise tax on the
undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders. The
Trust's dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations.

If the Trust qualifies as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for
federal income taxes on amounts paid by it as distributions. That qualification enables the Trust to "pass through" its income and
realized capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. The Trust qualified as a regulated investment company in
its last fiscal year and intends to qualify in future years, but reserves the right not to qualify. The Internal Revenue Code
contains a number of complex tests to determine whether the Trust qualifies. The Trust might not meet those tests in a particular
year. If it does not qualify, the Trust will be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and will receive no tax
deduction for payments of distributions made to shareholders.

Dividends, distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of Trust shares represented by checks returned to the Transfer
Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable will be invested in shares of the Trust as promptly as possible after the return of such
checks to the Transfer Agent, in order to enable the investor to earn a return on otherwise idle funds.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Trust. Direct shareholders of the Trust may elect to reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains
distributions in Class A shares of any eligible fund listed above. To elect this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer
Agent in writing and must have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise, the shareholder first must
obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application from the Distributor to establish an account. The investment will be made at
the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution.

Additional Information About the Trust

The Distributor. The Trust's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other financial institutions that have a sales agreement
with the Sub-Distributor. The Distributor and the Sub-Distributor also distribute shares of the other funds managed by the Manager
or an affiliate.

The Transfer Agent. Shareholder Services, Inc. the Trust's Transfer Agent, is responsible for maintaining the Trust's shareholder
registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Trust. It also
handles shareholder servicing and administrative functions.

The Custodian. Citibank, N.A. is the Custodian of the Trust's assets. The Custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and
controlling the Trust's portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Trust. It will be the
practice of the Trust to deal with the Custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the Custodian may have with the
Manager and its affiliates. The Trust's cash balances with the Custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by federal deposit
insurance. Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Centennial Tax Exempt Trust To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Centennial Tax Exempt Trust: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Centennial Tax Exempt Trust, including the statement of investments, as of June 30, 2001, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Centennial Tax Exempt Trust as of June 30, 2001, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Centennial Tax Exempt Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trusts investment objective is to seek the maximum short-term interest income exempt from federal income taxes that is consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity. The Trusts investment advisor is Centennial Asset Management Corporation (the Manager), a subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust.

Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Federal Taxes. The Trust intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

As of June 30, 2001, the Trust had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryovers as follows:

                               ============

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management Fees. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Trust which provides for a fee of 0.50% of the first $250 million of the Trusts net assets; 0.475% of the next $250 million; 0.45% of the next $250 million; 0.425% of the next $250 million; 0.40% of the next $250 million; 0.375% of the next $250 million; 0.35% of the next $500 million and 0.325% of net assets in excess of $2 billion. Under the agreement, when the value of the Trusts net assets is less than $1.5 billion, the annual fee payable to the Manager shall be reduced by $100,000 based on average net assets computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rates. However, the annual fee cannot be less than $0. The Trusts management fee for the year ended June 30, 2001, was an annualized rate of 0.42%.

Transfer Agent Fees. Shareholder Services, Inc. (SSI) acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Trust and for other registered investment companies. The Trust pays SSI an annual maintenance fee for each Trust shareholder account.

Service Plan Fees. Under an approved service plan, the Trust may expend up to 0.20% of its average annual net assets annually to reimburse the Manager, as distributor, for costs incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the Trust, including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other financial institutions. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Trust paid $10,068 to a broker-dealer affiliated with the Manager as reimbursement for distribution-related expenses.

18 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Centennial Tax Exempt Trust 4. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES

As of June 30, 2001, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Trust intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation.

Description of Securities Ratings

Below is a description of the two highest rating categories for Short Term Debt and Long Term Debt by the "Nationally-Recognized
Statistical Rating Organizations" which the Manager evaluates in purchasing securities on behalf of the Fund. The ratings
descriptions are based on information supplied by the ratings organizations to subscribers.

SHORT TERM DEBT RATINGS.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

The following rating designations for commercial paper (defined by Moody's as promissory obligations not having original maturity in
excess of nine months), are judged by Moody's to be investment grade, and indicate the relative repayment capacity of rated issuers:

Prime-1: Superior capacity for repayment. Capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: (a) leading market
positions in well-established industries; (b) high rates of return on funds employed; (c) conservative capitalization structure with
moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection; (d) broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high
internal cash generation; and (e) well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2: Strong capacity for repayment. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser
degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while
still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Moody's ratings for state and municipal short-term obligations are designated "Moody's Investment Grade" ("MIG"). Short-term
notes which have demand features may also be designated as "VMIG". These rating categories are as follows:

MIG 1/VMIG 1: Denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity
support or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2: Denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample although not as large as in the preceding group.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("Standard and Poor's")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following ratings by Standard and Poor's for commercial paper (defined by Standard and Poor's as debt having an original maturity
of no more than 365 days) assess the likelihood of payment:
A-1: Obligation is rated in the highest category. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
strong. Within this category, a plus (+) sign designation indicates the obligor's capacity to meet its financial obligation is
extremely strong.

A-2: Obligation is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
satisfactory.

Standard and Poor's ratings for Municipal Notes due in 3 years or less:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is
given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the
term of the notes.

Standard and Poor's assigns "dual ratings" to all municipal debt issues that have a demand or double feature as part of their
provisions. The first rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second rating addresses
only the demand feature. With short-term demand debt, Standard and Poor's note rating symbols are used with the commercial paper
symbols (for example, "SP-1+/A-1+").

Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch")
---------------------

Fitch assigns the following short-term ratings to debt obligations that are payable on demand or have original maturities of
generally up to three years, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment
notes:

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any
exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as
great as in the case of higher ratings.

LONG TERM DEBT RATINGS.

These ratings are relevant for securities purchased by the Fund with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less, or for rating issuers
of short-term obligations.

Moody's
-------

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Aaa: Judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edged."
Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, the changes that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong
position of such issues.

Aa: Judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as with "Aaa"
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risk appear somewhat larger than that of "Aaa" securities.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers "1", "2" and "3" in its "Aa" rating classification. The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier
"3" indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

Standard and Poor's
-------------------

Bonds (including municipal bonds maturing beyond 3 years) are rated as follows:

AAA: Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA: Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. A strong capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is very strong.

Fitch
-----

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of
exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected
by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for
timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

Because bonds rated in the "AAA" and "AA" categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated "F-1+".
