The Trust's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Trust seeks the maximum short-term interest income exempt from federal
income taxes that is consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity.

WHAT DOES THE TRUST MAINLY INVEST IN? The Trust is a money market fund. It invests in a variety of high-quality money
market instruments to seek income. Money market instruments are short-term, U.S. dollar denominated debt instruments
issued by the U.S. government, domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions and other entities. They
include, for example, bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, other corporate debt obligations and
government debt obligations. To be considered "high-quality," generally they must be rated in one of the two highest
credit-quality categories for short-term securities by nationally recognized rating services. If unrated, a security
must be determined by the Trust's investment manager to be of comparable quality to rated securities.

The Trust normally invests 100% of its assets in municipal securities. As a fundamental policy, the Trust will
invest under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in
securities investments the income from which is exempt from federal income taxes. Securities that generate income that is
subject to alternative minimum taxes will not count towards that 80% threshold. The balance of the Trust's assets can be
invested in investments the income from which may be taxable. The Trust will not invest more than 20% of its net assets
in municipal securities the income on which may be a tax preference item that would increase an individual investor's
alternative minimum tax.

WHO IS THE TRUST DESIGNED FOR? The Trust is designed for investors who are seeking income at current money market rates
while preserving the value of their investment, because the Trust tries to keep its share price stable at $1.00. Income
on money market instruments tends to be lower than income on longer-term debt securities, so the Trust's yield will
likely be lower than the yield on longer-term fixed income funds. The Trust does not invest for the purpose of seeking
capital appreciation or gains and is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Trust

All investments carry risks to some degree. Funds that invest in debt obligations for income may be subject to
credit risks and interest rate risks. There are risks that any of the Trust's holdings could have its credit rating
downgraded, or the issuer could default, or that interest rates could rise sharply, causing the value of the Trust's
securities (and its share price) to fall. As a result, there is a risk that the Trust's shares could fall below $1.00
per share. If there is a high redemption demand for the Trust's shares that was not anticipated, portfolio securities
might have to be sold prior to their maturity at a loss. Also, there is the risk that the value of your investment could
be eroded over time by the effects of inflation, and that poor security selection could cause the Trust to underperform
other funds with similar objectives.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investment in the Trust is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although the Trust seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible
to lose money by investing in the Trust.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trust's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show how the Trust's returns may vary over time, by showing changes in the Trust's
performance from year to year for the last 10 calendar years and average annual total returns for the 1-, 5- and 10- year
periods. Variability of returns is one measure of the risks of investing in a money market fund. The Trust's past
investment performance does not predict how the Trust will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (as of 12/31 each year)

[See appendix to prospectus for annual total return data for bar chart.]

For the period from 1/1/02 through 9/30/02 the cumulative total return (not annualized) was 0.59%.
During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was 0.91% (4th Q
'00) and the lowest return for a calendar quarter (not annualized) was 0.32% (4th Q '01).

The returns in the table measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that all dividends have been
reinvested in additional shares.

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

The total returns are not the Trust's current yield. The Trust's yield more closely reflects the Trust's current
earnings. To obtain the Trust's current seven day yield, please call the Transfer Agent toll-free at 1.800.525.9310.

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

Fees and Expenses of the Trust

The Trust pays a variety of expenses directly for management of its assets, administration and other services. Those
expenses are subtracted from the Trust's assets to calculate the Trust's net asset value per share. All shareholders
therefore pay those expenses indirectly. The following tables are meant to help you understand the fees and expenses you
may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Trust. The numbers below are based upon the Trust's expenses during its fiscal
year ended June 30, 2002.

SHAREHOLDER FEES. The Trust does not charge any initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are
no exchange fees or redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges (unless you buy Trust shares by exchanging
Class A shares of other eligible funds that were purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, as described in
"How to Sell Shares").

Annual Trust Operating Expenses (deducted from Trust assets):
(% of average daily net assets)

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Management Fees 0.42%

Other Expenses 0.07%

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

Total Annual Operating Expenses 0.69%

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

"Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial expenses, and accounting and legal expenses the Trust pays. The
Transfer Agent has voluntarily undertaken to the Trust to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% per annum. That
undertaking was effective October 1, 2001, and was pro-rated for the remainder of the fiscal year ending after that date,
and may be amended or withdrawn at any time. After the waiver, the actual "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating
Expenses" as percentages of average daily net assets were the same as shown above.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Trust with the cost of
investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in shares of the Trust for the time periods
indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return
each year and that the Trust's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower, because
expenses will vary over time. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeem
your investment at the end of each period:

About the Trust's Investments

THE TRUST'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Trust invests in money market instruments meeting quality, maturity and
diversification standards established by its Board of Trustees as well as rules that apply to money market funds under
the Investment Company Act. The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Trust's
investment policies and risks.

The Trust's investment manager, Centennial Asset Management Corporation, (referred to in this Prospectus as the
Manager) tries to reduce risks by diversifying investments and by carefully researching securities before they are
purchased. The rate of the Trust's income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting changes in overall short-term
interest rates. There is no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

What Does the Trust Invest In? Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term debt instruments. They may have
fixed, variable or floating interest rates. All of the Trust's money market instruments must meet the special
diversification, quality and maturity requirements set under the Investment Company Act and the special
procedures set by the Board described briefly below. The following is a brief description of the types of money
market instruments the Trust can invest in.

o Municipal Securities. The Trust buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper, certificates of
participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. These are debt obligations issued by the
governments of states, their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns and counties), or the District of
Columbia, or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not
subject to federal individual income tax in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer. All of these types of
debt obligations are referred to as "municipal securities" in this Prospectus.

o Other Money Market Instruments. Up to 20% of the Trust's assets can be invested in investments, the income from
which may be taxable. The Trust's taxable investments include repurchase agreements, municipal securities issued
to benefit a private user and certain temporary investments. These investments are described below under "Other
Investment Strategies" or in the Statement of Additional Information. Normally, the Trust will not invest more
than 20% of its total assets in taxable investments.

Additionally, the Trust can buy other money market instruments that the Manager approves under procedures adopted
by its Board of Trustees from time to time. They must be U.S. dollar-denominated short-term investments that the Manager
determines to have minimal credit risks.

What Standards Apply to the Trust's Investments? Money market instruments are subject to credit risk, the risk that the
issuer might not make timely payments of interest on the security or repay principal when it is due. The Trust
can buy only those instruments that meet standards set by the Investment Company Act for money market funds and
procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Trust's Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to evaluate
securities for the Trust's portfolio and the Manager has the responsibility to implement those procedures when
selecting investments for the Trust.

In general, the Trust buys only high-quality investments that the Manager believes present minimal credit risk at the
time of purchase. "High-quality" investments are:
o rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories of two national rating organizations, or
o rated by one rating organization in one of its two highest rating categories (if only one rating organization has
rated the investment), or
o unrated investments that the Manager determines are comparable in quality to the two highest rating categories.

The procedures also limit the amount of the Trust's assets that can be invested in the securities of any one
issuer (other than the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities), to spread the Trust's investment risks. The
Trust must also maintain an average portfolio maturity of not more than 90 days, to reduce interest rate risks.
Additionally, the remaining maturity of any single portfolio investment may not exceed the maximum time permitted under
Rule 2a-7 (currently 397 days).

Can the Trust's Investment Objective and Policies Change? The Trust's Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental
policies without shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this
Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Trust's outstanding
voting shares. The Trust's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Some investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not
fundamental unless this Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek its objective, the Trust can use the investment techniques and strategies described
below. The Trust might not always use all of them. These techniques have risks. The Statement of Additional
Information contains more information about some of these practices, including limitations on their use that are designed
to reduce the overall risks.

Floating Rate/Variable Rate Notes. The Trust can purchase investments with floating or variable interest rates.
Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are adjusted automatically according
to a specified market rate or benchmark for such investment, such as the prime rate of a bank. If the maturity
of an investment is greater than the maximum time permitted under Rule 2a-7 (currently 397 days), it can be
purchased if it has a demand feature. That feature must permit the Trust to recover the principal amount of the
investment on not more than 30 days' notice at any time, or at specified times not exceeding the maximum time
permitted under Rule 2a-7 (currently 397 days) from the date of purchase.

"When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. The Trust can purchase municipal securities on a "when-issued" basis
and can purchase or sell such securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. These terms refer to securities that have
been created and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. The Trust does
not intend to make such purchases for speculative purposes. During the period between the purchase and
settlement, no payment is made for the security and no interest accrues to the buyer from the investment. There
is a risk of loss to the Trust if the value of the security declines prior to the settlement date.

Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal leases are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land,
equipment or facilities. The Trust can invest in certificates of participation that represent a proportionate
interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. If the government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Some
of these obligations might not have an active trading market and would be subject to the Trust's limits on
"illiquid" securities described below. From time to time the Trust can 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 Trust's
Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements. The Trust can enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Trust buys a
security and simultaneously sells it to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be
fully collateralized. However, if the vendor fails to pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Trust may
incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do
so. The Trust will not enter into repurchase transactions that will cause more than 10% of the Trust's net assets
to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. There is no limit on the amount of
the Trust's net assets that can be subject to repurchase agreements of seven days or less. Income earned on
repurchase transactions is not tax exempt and accordingly, under normal market conditions, the Trust will limit
its investments in repurchase transactions to 20% of its total assets.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market,
making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security is
one that has a contractual limit on resale or which cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under federal
securities laws. The Trust will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted
securities. That limit does not apply to certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified
institutional purchasers or purchases of commercial paper that may be sold without registration under the federal
securities laws. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to
sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity. Difficulty in selling a security may result in a loss to the
Trust or additional costs.

Demand Features and Guarantees. The Trust can invest a significant percentage of its assets in municipal securities that
have demand features, guarantees or similar credit and liquidity enhancements. A demand feature permits the
holder of the security to sell the security within a specified period of time at a stated price and entitles the
holder of the security to receive an amount equal to the approximate amortized cost of the security plus accrued
interest. A guarantee permits the holder of the security to receive, upon presentment to the guarantor, the
principal amount of the underlying security plus accrued interest when due or upon default. A guarantee is the
unconditional obligation of an entity other than the issuer of the security. These securities are described in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable adverse market or economic conditions, the Trust can
invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary defensive or interim investments that are inconsistent with the
Trust's principal investment strategies. These temporary investments can include:
o obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities,
o bankers' acceptances; taxable commercial paper rated in the highest category by a rating organization,
o short-term taxable debt obligations rated in one of the two highest rating categories of a rating organization,
o certificates of deposit of domestic banks, and
o repurchase agreements.

To the extent the Trust assumes a temporary defensive position, a significant portion of the Trust's
distributions may be taxable.

The information below applies to Centennial Money Market Trust, Centennial Tax Exempt Trust and Centennial Government
Trust. Each is referred to as a "Trust" and they are collectively referred to as the "Trusts." Unless otherwise
indicated, this information applies to each Trust.

How the Trusts are Managed

THE MANAGER. The investment advisor for the Trusts is the Manager, Centennial Asset Management Corporation, a wholly
owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. The Manager chooses each of the Trust's investments and handles its
day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties subject to the policies established by the Trust's Board of
Trustees, under an investment advisory agreement with each Trust that states the Manager's responsibilities. The
agreement sets the fees the Trust pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Trust is responsible to pay to
conduct its business.

The Manager has been an investment advisor since 1978. The Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled
affiliates managed more than $120 billion in assets as of September 30, 2002, including other Oppenheimer funds with more
than seven million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at 6803 South Tucson Way, Centennial, Colorado 80112.

Portfolio Managers. The portfolio managers of the Trusts are the persons principally responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Trusts' portfolios. The portfolio managers of Centennial Money Market Trust and Centennial
Government Trust are Carol E. Wolf and Barry D. Weiss. Ms. Wolf has had this responsibility since November 1988
for Centennial Government Trust and October 1990 for Centennial Money Market Trust and Mr. Weiss, since August
2001. Each is an officer of Centennial Money Market Trust and Centennial Government Trust. Ms. Wolf is a Senior
Vice President and Mr. Weiss is a Vice President of the Manager, and each is an officer and portfolio manager of
other funds for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment advisor. The portfolio manager of
Centennial Tax Exempt Trust is Michael Carbuto (since October 1987). Mr. Carbuto is a Vice President of
OppenheimerFunds, Inc., a Vice President of Centennial Tax Exempt Trust and an officer and portfolio manager of
other funds for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment advisor.

Advisory Fees. Under each investment advisory agreement, a Trust pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that
declines on additional assets as the Trust grows. That fee is computed on the net assets of the respective Trust
as of the close of each business day.

o Centennial Money Market Trust. The annual management fee rates are: 0.500% of the first $250 million of the
Trust's net assets, 0.475% of the next $250 million, 0.450% of the next $250 million, 0.425% of the next $250
million, 0.400% of the next $250 million, 0.375% of the next $250 million, 0.350% of the next $500 million, and
0.325% of net assets in excess of $2 billion. In the agreement, the Manager guarantees that the Trust's total
expenses in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, interest and brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses
such as litigation costs, shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 1.5% of the average annual net assets of the Trust
up to $30 million and 1% of its average annual net assets in excess of $30 million; or (2) 25% of the total
annual investment income of the Trust. Centennial Money Market Trust's management fee for its fiscal year ended
June 30, 2002 was 0.33% of the Trust's average annual net o assets before the expense reduction noted above and
0.30% after the expense reduction noted above.

o Centennial Government Trust. The annual management fee rates are: 0.500% of the first $250 million of the
Trust's net assets, 0.475% of the next $250 million, 0.450% of the next $250 million, 0.425% of the next $250
million, 0.400% of the next $250 million, 0.375% of the next $250 million, and 0.350% of net assets in excess of
$1.5 billion. The Manager has made the same guarantee to Centennial Government Trust regarding expenses as
described above for Centennial Money Market Trust. The Trust's management fee for its fiscal year ended June 30,
2002 was 0.43% of the Trust's average annual net o assets before the expense reduction noted above and 0.35%
after the expense reduction noted above.

o Centennial Tax Exempt Trust. The annual management fee rates applicable to the Trust are as follows: 0.500% of
the first $250 million of the Trust's net assets, 0.475% of the next $250 million, 0.450% of the next $250
million, 0.425% of the next $250 million, 0.400% of the next $250 million, 0.375% of the next $250 million,
0.350% of the next $500 million, and 0.325% of net assets in excess of $2 billion. Under the agreement, when the
value of the Trust's 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 Trust's management fee for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 was 0.42% of the
Trust's average annual net assets.

How to Buy Shares

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares of each Trust are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per
share without any sales charge. The net asset value per share will normally remain fixed at $1.00 per share. However,
there is no guarantee that a Trust will maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation of the net asset value per
share that is made after the Distributor (Centennial Asset Management Corporation) or the Sub-Distributor
(OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.) receives the purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after any agent appointed
by the Sub-Distributor receives the order and sends it to the Sub-Distributor as described below.

How is a Trust's Net Asset Value Determined? The net asset value of shares of each Trust is normally determined twice
each day, at 12:00 Noon and at 4:00 P.M., on each day The New York Stock Exchange is open for trading (referred
to in this Prospectus as a "regular business day"). All references to time in this Prospectus mean "Eastern time."

The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of a Trust's net assets by the number of shares
that are outstanding. Under a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trusts, each Trust uses the amortized cost
method to value its securities to determine net asset value.

The shares of each Trust offered by this Prospectus are considered to be Class A shares for the purposes of
exchanging them or reinvesting distributions among other eligible funds that offer more than one class of shares.

If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Trusts are traded, and before the
time the Trusts' securities are priced that day, an event occurs that the Manager deems likely to cause a material change
in the value of such security, the Trusts' Board of Trustees has authorized the Manager, subject to the Board's review,
to ascertain a fair value for such security. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for
determining value.

HOW MUCH MUST YOU INVEST? You can open an account with a minimum initial investment described below, depending on how
you buy and pay for your shares. You can make additional purchases at any time with as little as $25. The minimum
investment requirements do not apply to reinvesting distributions from the Trust or other eligible funds (a list of them
appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your broker/dealer or call the Transfer Agent) or
reinvesting distributions from unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

HOW ARE SHARES PURCHASED? You can buy shares in one of several ways:

Buying Shares Through a Broker/Dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program. You can buy shares of a Trust through
a broker/dealer that has a sales agreement with the Trust's Distributor or Sub-Distributor that allows shares to
be purchased through the broker/dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program. Shares of each Trust are sold
mainly to customers of participating broker/dealers that offer the Trusts' shares under these special purchase
programs. If you participate in an Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program established by your broker/dealer,
your broker/dealer buys shares of the Trust for your account with the broker/dealer. Program participants should
also read the description of the program provided by their broker/dealer.

Buying Shares Through Your Broker/Dealer. If you do not participate in an Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program, you
can buy shares of a Trust through any broker/dealer that has a sales agreement with the Distributor or
Sub-Distributor. Your broker/dealer will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf.

Buying Shares Directly Through the Sub-Distributor. You can also purchase shares directly through the Trusts'
Sub-Distributor. Shareholders who make purchases directly and hold shares in their own names are referred to as
"direct shareholders" in this Prospectus.

The Sub-Distributor may appoint certain servicing agents to accept purchase (and redemption) orders, including
broker/dealers that have established Automatic Purchase and Redemption Programs. The Distributor or Sub-Distributor, in
their sole discretion, may reject any purchase order for shares of a Trust.

AUTOMATIC PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION PROGRAM. If you buy shares of a Trust through your broker/dealer's Automatic Purchase
and Redemption Program, your broker/dealer will buy your shares for your Program Account and will hold your shares in
your broker/dealer's name. These purchases will be made under the procedures described in "Guaranteed Payment
Procedures" below. Your Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program Account may have minimum investment requirements
established by your broker/dealer. You should direct all questions about your Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program
to your broker/dealer, because the Trusts' Transfer Agent does not have access to information about your account under
that Program.

Guaranteed Payment Procedures. Some broker/dealers may have arrangements with the Distributor to enable them to place
purchase orders for shares of a Trust and to guarantee that the Trust's custodian bank will receive Federal Funds
to pay for the shares prior to specified times. Broker/dealers whose clients participate in Automatic Purchase
and Redemption Programs may use these guaranteed payment procedures to pay for purchases of shares of a Trust.

o If the Distributor receives a purchase order before 12:00 Noon on a regular business day with the broker/dealer's
guarantee that the Trusts' custodian bank will receive payment for those shares in Federal Funds by 2:00 P.M. on
that same day, the order will be effected at the net asset value determined at 12:00 Noon that day. Distributions
will begin to accrue on the shares on that day if the Federal Funds are received by the required time.

o If the Distributor receives a purchase order after 12:00 Noon on a regular business day with the broker/dealer's
guarantee that the Trusts' custodian bank will receive payment for those shares in Federal Funds by 2:00 P.M. on
that same day, the order will be effected at the net asset value determined at 4:00 P.M. that day. Distributions
will begin to accrue on the shares on that day if the Federal Funds are received by the required time.

o If the Distributor receives a purchase order between 12:00 Noon and 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day with the
broker/dealer's guarantee that the Trusts' custodian bank will receive payment for those shares in Federal Funds
by 4:00 P.M. the next regular business day, the order will be effected at the net asset value determined at 4:00
P.M. on the day the order is received and distributions will begin to accrue on the shares purchased on the next
regular business day if the Federal Funds are received by the required time.

HOW CAN DIRECT SHAREHOLDERS BUY SHARES? Direct shareholders can buy shares of a Trust by completing a Centennial Funds
new account application and sending it to the Sub-Distributor, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., P.O. Box 5143, Denver,
Colorado 80217. Payment must be made by check or by Federal Funds wire as described below. If you don't list a
broker/dealer on the application, the Sub-Distributor, will act as your agent in buying the shares. However, we
recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor before you make a purchase to be sure that the Trust
is appropriate for you.

Each Trust intends to be as fully invested as possible to maximize its yield. Therefore, newly purchased shares
normally will begin to accrue distributions after the Sub-Distributor or its agent accepts your purchase order, starting
on the business day after the Trust receives Federal Funds from the purchase payment.

Payment by Check. Direct shareholders may pay for purchases of shares of a Trust by check. Send your check, payable to
"OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.," along with your application and other documents to the address listed
above. For initial purchases, your check should be payable in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank so that
distributions will begin to accrue on the next regular business day after the Sub-Distributor accepts your
purchase order. If your check is not drawn on a U.S. bank and is not payable in U.S. dollars, the shares will not
be purchased until the Sub-Distributor is able to convert the purchase payment to Federal Funds. In that case
distributions will begin to accrue on the purchased shares on the next regular business day after the purchase is
made. The minimum initial investment for direct shareholders by check is $500.

Payment by Federal Funds Wire. Direct shareholders may pay for purchases of shares of a Trust by Federal Funds wire.
You must also forward your application and other documents to the address listed above. Before sending a wire,
call the Sub-Distributor's Wire Department at 1.800.525.9310 (toll-free from within the U.S.) or 303.768.3200
(from outside the U.S.) to notify the Sub-Distributor of the wire, and to receive further instructions.

Distributions will begin to accrue on the purchased shares on the purchase date that is a regular business day if
the Federal Funds from your wire and the application are received by the Sub-Distributor and accepted by 12:00 Noon. If
the Sub-Distributor receives the Federal Funds from your wire and accepts the purchase order between 12:00 Noon and 4:00
P.M. on the purchase date, distributions will begin to accrue on the shares on the next regular business day. The
minimum investment by Federal Funds Wire is $2,500.

Buying Shares Through Automatic Investment Plans. Direct shareholders can purchase shares of a Trust automatically each
month by authorizing the Trust's Transfer Agent to debit your account at a U.S. domestic bank or other financial
institution. Details are in the Automatic Investment Plan application and the Statement of Additional
Information. The minimum monthly purchase is $25.

Service (12b-1) Plans. Each Trust has adopted a service plan. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs
incurred for services provided to accounts that hold shares of the Trust. Reimbursement is made quarterly, or
monthly depending on asset size, at an annual rate of up to 0.20% of the average annual net assets of the Trust.
The Distributor currently uses all of those fees (together with significant amounts from the Manager's own
resources) to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal
services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold shares of the Trust.

Retirement Plans. Direct shareholders may buy shares of Centennial Money Market Trust or Centennial Government Trust for
a retirement plan account. If you participate in a plan sponsored by your employer, the plan trustee or
administrator must buy the shares for your plan account. The Sub-Distributor also offers a number of different
retirement plans that individuals and employers can use:
o Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and rollover IRAs.
o SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business owners or self-employed individuals.
o 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of eligible tax-exempt organizations, such

as schools, hospitals and charitable organizations.
o 401(k) Plans. These are special retirement plans for businesses.
o Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and self-employed individuals.

Please call the Sub-Distributor for retirement plan documents, which include applications and important plan
information.

How to Sell Shares

You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. Your shares will be sold at the next net
asset value calculated after your order is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with the procedures
described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent.

HOW CAN PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS SELL SHARES? If you participate in an Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program sponsored
by your broker/dealer, you must redeem shares held in your Program Account by contacting your broker/dealer firm, or you
can redeem shares by writing checks as described below. You should not contact the Trusts or their Transfer Agent
directly to redeem shares held in your Program Account. You may also arrange (but only through your broker/dealer) to
have the proceeds of redeemed Trust shares sent by Federal Funds wire, as described below in "Sending Redemption Proceeds
by Wire."

HOW CAN DIRECT SHAREHOLDERS REDEEM SHARES? Direct shareholders can redeem their shares by writing a letter to the
Transfer Agent, by using a Trust's checkwriting privilege, or by telephone. You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal
Plans to redeem shares on a regular basis. If you have questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you
are redeeming shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from a retirement plan account,
please call the Transfer Agent for assistance first, at 1.800.525.9310.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Trusts from fraud, the following redemption
requests for accounts of direct shareholders must be in writing and must include a signature guarantee (although
there may be other situations that also require a signature guarantee):
o You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check

o The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement
o The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement
o Shares are being transferred to an account with a different owner or name
o Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners.

Where Can Direct Shareholders Have Their Signatures Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a guarantee of your
signature by a number of financial institutions, including:
o a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or
o a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.

If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a fiduciary, you must also
include your title in the signature.

How Can Direct Shareholders Sell Shares by Mail? Write a letter of instruction to the Transfer Agent that includes:
o Your name
o The Trust's name
o Your account number (from your account statement)
o The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed
o Any special payment instructions
o Any share certificates for the shares you are selling
o The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is registered, and
o Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper authorization of the person asking to sell

the shares.

How Can Direct Shareholders Sell Shares by Telephone? Direct shareholders and their broker/dealer representative of
record may also sell shares by telephone. To receive the redemption price calculated on a particular regular
business day, the Transfer Agent or its designated agent must receive the request by 4:00 P.M. on that day. You
may not redeem shares held under a share certificate or in a retirement account by telephone. To redeem shares
through a service representative, call 1.800.525.9310. Proceeds of telephone redemptions will be paid by check
payable to the shareholder(s) of record and will be sent to the address of record for the account. Up to $100,000
may be redeemed by telephone in any seven-day period. This service is not available within 30 days of changing
the address on an account.

Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares held in a retirement plan account. Call the
Transfer Agent for a distribution request form. Special income tax withholding requirements apply to
distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a withholding form with your redemption request to avoid
delay in getting your money and if you do not want tax withheld. If your employer holds your retirement plan
account for you in the name of the plan, you must ask the plan trustee or administrator to request the sale of
the Trust shares in your plan account.

Sending Redemption Proceeds By Wire. While the Transfer Agent normally sends direct shareholders their money by check,
you can arrange to have the proceeds of the shares you sell sent by Federal Funds wire to a bank account you
designate. It must be a commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. The minimum
redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a $10 fee for each request. To find out how to set up
this feature on an account or to arrange a wire, direct shareholders should call the Transfer Agent at
1.800.525.9310. If you hold your shares through your broker/dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program,
you must contact your broker/dealer to arrange a Federal Funds wire.

Can Direct Shareholders Submit Requests by Fax? Direct shareholders may send requests for certain types of account
transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax (telecopier). Please call 1.800.525.9310 for information about which
transactions may be handled this way. Transaction requests submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and
restrictions as written and telephone requests described in this Prospectus.

HOW DO I WRITE CHECKS AGAINST MY ACCOUNT? Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program participants may write checks
against an account held under their Program, but must arrange for checkwriting privileges through their broker/dealers.
Direct shareholders may write checks against their account by requesting that privilege on the account application or by
contacting the Transfer Agent for signature cards. They must be signed (with a signature guarantee) by all owners of the
account and returned to the Transfer Agent so that checks can be sent to you to use. Shareholders with joint accounts can
elect in writing to have checks paid over the signature of one owner. If checkwriting is established after November 1,
2000, only one signature is required for shareholders with joint accounts, unless you elect otherwise.

o Checks can be written to the order of whomever you wish, but may not be cashed at the bank the checks are payable
through or the Trust's custodian bank.
o Checkwriting privileges are not available for accounts holding shares that are subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge.
o Checks must be written for at least $250.
o Checks cannot be paid if they are written for more than your account value.

o You may not write a check that would require the Trust to redeem shares that were purchased by check or Automatic
Investment Plan payments within the prior 10 days.

Don't use your checks if you changed your account number, until you receive new checks.

WILL I PAY A SALES CHARGE WHEN I SELL MY SHARES? The Trusts do not charge a fee to redeem shares of a Trust that were
bought directly or by reinvesting distributions from that Trust or another Centennial Trust or eligible fund. Generally,
there is no fee to redeem shares of a Trust bought by exchange of shares of another Centennial Trust or eligible fund.
However,

o if you acquired shares of a Trust by exchanging Class A shares of another eligible fund that you bought subject
to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, and
o those shares are still subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge when you exchange them into the
Trust, then
o you will pay the contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem those shares from the Trust within 18 months of
the purchase date of the shares of the fund you exchanged.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of a Trust may be exchanged for shares of certain other Centennial Trusts or other eligible funds, depending on
whether you own your shares through your broker/dealer's Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program or as a direct
shareholder.

HOW CAN PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS EXCHANGE SHARES? If you participate in an Automatic Purchase and Redemption Program
sponsored by your broker/dealer, you may exchange shares held in your Program Account for shares of Centennial Money
Market Trust, Centennial Government Trust, Centennial Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust and
Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust (referred to in this Prospectus as the "Centennial Trusts"), if available for sale
in your state of residence, by contacting your broker or dealer and obtaining a Prospectus of the selected Centennial
Trust.

HOW CAN DIRECT SHAREHOLDERS EXCHANGE SHARES? Direct shareholders can exchange shares of a Trust for Class A shares of
certain eligible funds listed in the Statement of Additional Information. To exchange shares, you must meet several
conditions:

o Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.
o The prospectuses of the Trust and the fund whose shares you want to buy must offer the exchange privilege.
o You must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at least seven days before you can exchange
them. After the account is open seven days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.
o You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares you purchase by exchange.
o Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.

Shares of a particular class of an eligible fund may be exchanged only for shares of the same class in other
eligible funds. For example, you can exchange shares of a Trust only for Class A shares of another fund, and you can
exchange only Class A shares of another eligible fund for shares of a Trust.

You may pay a sales charge when you exchange shares of a Trust. Because shares of the Trusts are sold without
sales charge, in some cases you may pay a sales charge when you exchange shares of a Trust for shares of other eligible
funds that are sold subject to a sales charge. You will not pay a sales charge when you exchange shares of a Trust
purchased by reinvesting distributions from that Trust or other eligible funds (except Oppenheimer Cash Reserves), or
when you exchange shares of a Trust purchased by exchange of shares of an eligible fund on which you paid a sales charge.

For tax purposes, exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own and a purchase of the
shares of the other fund, which may result in a capital gain or loss. Since shares of a Trust normally maintain a $1.00
net asset value, in most cases you should not realize a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares.
Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for more details.

Direct shareholders can find a list of eligible funds currently available for exchanges in the Statement of
Additional Information or you can obtain one by calling a service representative at 1.800.525.9310. The list of eligible
funds can change from time to time.

How Do Direct Shareholders Submit Exchange Requests? Direct shareholders may request exchanges in writing or by
telephone:

o Written Exchange Requests. Complete an Exchange Authorization Form, signed by all owners of the account. Send
it to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under certificates cannot be
processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates with the request.

o Telephone Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made by calling a service representative at
1.800.525.9310. Telephone exchanges may be made only between accounts that are registered with the same name(s)
and address. Shares held under certificates may not be exchanged by telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:

o Shares are normally redeemed from one fund and purchased from the other fund in the exchange transaction on the
same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request that conforms to the policies
described above. Requests for exchanges to any of the Centennial Trusts must be received by the Transfer Agent
by 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day to be effected that day. The Transfer Agent must receive requests to
exchange shares of a Trust to funds other than the Centennial Trusts on a regular business day by the close of
The New York Stock Exchange that day. The close is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some days. However,
either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the fund you are exchanging into up to seven days if it
determines it would be disadvantaged by the same day exchange.

o The interests of the Trusts' long-term shareholders and its ability to manage its investments may be adversely
affected when its shares are repeatedly bought and sold in response to short-term market fluctuations--also known
as "market timing." When large dollar amounts are involved, the Trusts may have difficulty implementing
long-term investment strategies, because it cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. Market timing
also may force the Trusts to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed to buy a
market timer's shares. These factors may hurt the Trusts' performance and its shareholders. When the Manager
believes frequent trading would have a disruptive effect on the Trusts' ability to manage its investments, the
Manager and the Trusts may reject purchase orders and exchanges into the Trusts by any person, group or account
that the Manager believes to be a market timer.

o The Trusts may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. The Trusts will provide you notice
whenever they are required to do so by applicable law, but they may impose changes at any time for emergency
purposes.

o Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance and harm shareholders, the Trusts reserve the right to refuse
any exchange request that may, in the opinion of the Trusts, be disadvantageous, or to refuse multiple exchange
requests submitted by a shareholder or dealer.

o If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because of a restriction cited above, only the
shares eligible for exchange will be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Trusts' policies and procedures for buying, selling and exchanging shares is contained in the
Statement of Additional Information.

The offering of shares of a Trust may be suspended during any period in which the Trust's determination of net asset
value is suspended, and the offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it
is in a Trust's best interest to do so.

Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be modified, suspended or terminated by the
Trusts at any time. The Trusts will provide you notice whenever they are required to do so by applicable law.
If an account has more than one owner, the Trusts and the Transfer Agent may rely on the instructions of any one
owner. Telephone privileges apply to each owner of the account and the broker/dealer representative of record
for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation instructions from an owner of the account.

The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions and it has adopted other
procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax identification
numbers and other account data and by confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and the Trusts
will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.

Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent receives all required documents in proper
form. From time to time, the Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements for
redemptions stated in this Prospectus.

Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by check or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by
the shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form.
However, under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed
or suspended. For accounts registered in the name of a broker/dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within
three business days after redemption.

The Transfer Agent may delay forwarding a check or making a payment via Federal Funds wire for recently purchased shares,
but only until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the date the shares
were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check, or
arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written assurance to the Transfer Agent that your purchase payment
has cleared.

Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Trusts if the account value has fallen below $250 for
reasons other than the fact that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases involuntary redemptions
may be made to repay the Distributor or Sub-Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase
orders.

"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable dividends, distributions and redemption
proceeds (including exchanges) if you fail to furnish the Trust your correct, certified Social Security or
Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if you under-report your income to the Internal
Revenue Service.

To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Trusts will mail only one copy of each prospectus,
annual and semi-annual report and annual notice of the Trusts' privacy policy to shareholders having the same
last name and address on the Trusts' records. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits
the Trusts through reduced mailing expense.

If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.525.9310. You
may also notify the Transfer Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy notices
will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends and Tax Information

DIVIDENDS. Each Trust intends to declare dividends from net investment income each regular business day and to pay those
dividends to shareholders monthly on a date selected by the Board of Trustees. To maintain a net asset value of $1.00
per share, a Trust might withhold dividends or make distributions from capital or capital gains. Daily dividends will
not be declared or paid on newly purchased shares until Federal Funds are available to a Trust from the purchase payment
for such shares.

CAPITAL GAINS. Each Trust normally holds its securities to maturity and therefore will not usually pay capital gains.
Although the Trusts do not seek capital gains, a Trust could realize capital gains on the sale of its portfolio
securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains in December of
each year. A Trust may make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal
year.

What Choices Do I Have for Receiving Distributions? For Automatic Purchase and Redemption Programs, dividends and
distributions are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the selected Trust. For direct shareholders,
when you open your account, you should specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends and
distributions. You have four options:

o Reinvest All Distributions in the Trust. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions
in the selected Trust.

o Reinvest Capital Gains Only. You can elect to reinvest some capital gains distributions (short-term capital
gains or long-term capital gains distributions) in the selected Trust while receiving dividends by check or
having them sent to your bank account.

o Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all dividends and capital gains
distributions or have them sent to your bank.

o Reinvest Your Distributions in Another Account. You can reinvest all distributions (dividends, short-term
capital gains or long-term capital gains distributions) in the same class of shares of another eligible fund
account you have established.

Under the terms of Automatic Purchase and Redemption Programs, your broker/dealer can redeem shares to satisfy debit
balances arising in your Program Account. If that occurs, you will be entitled to dividends on those shares as described
in your Program Agreements.

TAXES.

Centennial Money Market Trust and Centennial Government Trust. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement
account, you should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in Centennial Money Market Trust and
Centennial Government Trust. Dividends paid from net investment income and short-term capital gains are taxable
as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to
shareholders. It does not matter how long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your distributions in
additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

Every year the Trust will send you and the IRS a statement showing the amount of each taxable distribution you
received in the previous year. Any long-term capital gains distributions will be separately identified in the tax
information the Trust sends you after the end of the calendar year.

Centennial Tax Exempt Trust. Exempt interest dividends paid from net investment income earned by the Trust on municipal
securities will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. A portion of a dividend that is
derived from interest paid on certain "private activity bonds" may be an item of tax preference if you are
subject to the alternative minimum tax. If the Trust earns interest on taxable investments, any dividends derived
from those earnings will be taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

Dividends and capital gains distributions may be subject to state or local taxes. Long-term capital gains are
taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It does not matter how long you have held your
shares. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and non-tax-exempt net investment income are taxable as ordinary
income. Whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the
same. Every year the Trust will send you and the IRS a statement showing the amount of any taxable distribution you
received in the previous year as well as the amount of your tax-exempt income.

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because each Trust seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share net asset
value, it is unlikely that you will have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares. A capital
gain or loss is the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the price you received when you sold
them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.

Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by a Trust may be considered a non-taxable return of
capital to shareholders. If that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax information about your investment. You should
consult with your tax advisor about the effect of an investment in a Trust on your particular tax situation.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Tables are presented to help you understand each Trust's financial performance for the past five
fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Trust share. The total returns in the tables
represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Trusts (assuming reinvestment of
all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Trusts' independent
auditors, whose report, along with the Trusts' financial statements, are included in the Statements of Additional
Information, which are available on request.

ABOUT THE TRUST

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

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 of 1940 ("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). They must meet credit requirements set by the
Manager from time to time. 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,
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.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trust, along with
other affiliated entities managed by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
repurchase accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government
securities. Securities that are pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank
until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that the market value of the collateral
be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to
the agreement, retention or sale of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Bank Loan Participation Agreements. The Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust 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;o
o 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; or

o 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.

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.

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. 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.

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 its outstanding shares. If the
Trustees receive a request from at least 10 shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other
shareholders to request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees will then either make the Trust's shareholder
list available to the applicants or mail their communication to all other shareholders at the applicants'
expense. The shareholders making the request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold
shares of the Trust valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of the Trust's outstanding shares,
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 its 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.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. 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.

The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee and a Review Committee. 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board
with recommendations regarding the selection of the Trust's independent auditors. Other main functions of the
Audit Committee include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of audits and the audit fees
charged; (ii) reviewing reports from the Trust's independent auditors regarding the Trust's internal accounting
procedures and controls; and (iii) establishing a separate line of communication between the Trust's independent
auditors and its independent Trustees.

The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to the full Board, nominees for
election as Trustees, and selecting and nominating Independent Trustees for election. The Audit Committee may,
but need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its affiliates in selecting nominees. The
full Board elects new trustees except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

To date, the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified
candidates. Nonetheless, shareholders may submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly
supported resumes, for the Audit Committee's consideration by mailing such information to the Committee in care
of the Trust. The Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees.
The Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and/or
shareholders when it meets for the purpose considering potential nominees.

The members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman), Robert G. Avis, Sam Freedman, Beverly
Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Review Committee held seven meetings during the fiscal year ended June
30, 2002. Among other functions, 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 the Trust's investment performance and policies and procedures adopted
by the Trust to comply with Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

Trustees and Officers of the Trust. Except for Mr. Grabish, each of the Trustees is an "Independent Trustee," as
defined in the Investment Company Act. Mr. Grabish is an "Interested Trustee" because he is affiliated with the
Manager by virtue of his positions with A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. and its affiliates (as described in his
biography below), which is a partial owner of the Manager's parent company.

The Trust's Trustees and officers and their positions held with the Trust and length of service in such
position(s) and their principal occupations and business affiliations during the past five years are listed in
the chart below. The information for the Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Trust as well
as the aggregate dollar range of shares of the Oppenheimer/Centennial funds beneficially owned by the Trustees.
All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the following Oppenheimer/Centennial funds1 (referred to as
"Board II Funds"):

Oppenheimer Cash Reserves Oppenheimer Select Managers
Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund
Oppenheimer High Yield Fund Oppenheimer Total Return Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer International Bond Fund Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds
Oppenheimer Integrity Funds Panorama Series Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund Centennial America Fund, L. P.

------

Present or former officers, directors,
trustees and employees (and their immediate family
members) of the Trust, the Manager and its
affiliates, and retirement plans established by them
for their employees are permitted to purchase Class A
shares of the Trust and the other Oppenheimer funds
at net asset value without sales charge. The sales
charges on Class A shares is waived for that group
because of the economies of sales efforts realized by
the Distributor.

Messrs. Murphy, Carbuto, Molleur, Masterson,
Vottiero, Wixted and Zack, and Mses. Feld, Bechtolt
and Ives, who are officers of the Trust, respectively
hold the same offices with one or more of the other
Board II Funds as with the Trust. As of October 7,
2002, the Trustees and officers of the Trust as a
group owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of
the shares of the Trust. The foregoing statement does
not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an
employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager,
other than the shares beneficially owned under that
plan by the officers of the Trust listed above. In
addition, each Independent Trustee, and his family
members, do not own securities of either the Manager,
Distributor or Sub-Distributor of the Board II Funds
or any person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the
Manager, Distributor or Sub-Distributor.

Affiliated Transactions and Material Business
Relationships. In 2000, Mr. Swain sold 93,000 shares
of Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp. ("OAC")
(OppenheimerFunds, Inc.'s parent holding company),
for a cash payment of $4,278,930. In 2001, Mr. Swain
surrendered for cancellation 60,000 options to
MassMutual for a cash payment of $2,700,600. Mr.
Swain has reported that he sold a residential
property to Mr. Freedman on October 23, 2001 for $1.2
million. An independent appraisal of the property
supported the sale price.

The address of each Trustee in the charts
below is 6803 S. Tucson Way, Centennial, CO
80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite
term, until his or her resignation, retirement, death
or removal.

* Effective July 1, 2000, Ned M. Steel resigned as a Trustee of the Trust and subsequently became Trustee
Emeritus of the Trust. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 Mr. Steel received $0 aggregate compensation
from the Trust and for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, he received $60,000 total compensation
from all the Board II Funds. Effective April 5, 2001 Raymond Kalinowski resigned as Trustee of the Trust.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 Mr. Kalinowski received $0 aggregate compensation from the Trust and
for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, he received $16,468 total compensation from all 1. Board
II funds. Effective July 1, 2002, Messrs. Kast and Kirchner retired as Trustees from the Board II funds.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, Messrs. Kast and Kirchner each received no aggregate
compensation from the Trust and for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, they each received $87,452 and
$79,452, respectively, total compensation from all the Board II Funds.
1. Aggregate compensation includes fees and deferred compensation, if any. A prior overaccrual of $8,886
for trustee fee expenses was credited to the Trust on August 14, 2001. As a result, regular
trustee fee expenses were a negative $1,285 for the fiscal year-ended, June 30, 2002.
2. Mr. Swain became an Independent Trustee effective 1/1/02, prior to which he did not receive compensation
from any of the Board II funds.
3. Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Malone were elected as Trustees of the Board II Funds effective June 1, 2002 and
therefore did not receive compensation from any of the Board II Funds during the calendar year 2001.

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 7, 2002 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 1,841,517,138.070 shares of the Trust which was
98.87% 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.

- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal Year ending 6/30 Management Fee Paid to Centennial Asset Management Corporation
- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000 $7,404,944
- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2001 $7,527,359
- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2002 $7,975,8601

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

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, 2000, June 30, 2001 and June 31, 2002.

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| Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement. Each year, the Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees, is required to approve the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.
The Investment Company Act requires that the Board request and evaluate and the Manager provide such information
as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement. The Board employs an
independent consultant to prepare a report that provides such information as the Board requests for this
purpose.

The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees the Trust pays. These
distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a different time of the year.

The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its decision to renew the investment
advisory agreement. Among other factors, the Board considered:
o The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Trust and its shareholders;
o The profitability of the Trust to the Manager;
o The investment performance of the Trust in comparison to regular market indices
o Economies of scale that may be available to the Trust from the Manager;
o Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o The value and quality of any other benefits or services received by the Trust from its relationship with
the Manager, and
o The direct and indirect benefits the Manager received from its relationship with the Trust. These
included services provided by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and brokerage and soft
dollar arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act.

The Board considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain high quality personnel at
competitive rates to provide services to the Trust. The Board also considered that maintaining the financial
viability of the Manager is important so that the Manager will be able to continue to provide quality services to
the Trust and its shareholders in adverse times. The Board also considered the investment performance of other
mutual funds advised by the Manager. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the use of the Manager.

These matters were also considered by the Independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board
with experienced Counsel to the Trust who assisted the Board in its deliberations. The Fund's Counsel is
independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules regarding the independence of counsel.

In arriving at a decision, the Board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as being more
important than other factors, but considered all factors together. The Board judged the terms and conditions of
the investment advisory agreement, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of the surrounding
circumstances.

|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 or monthly depending on asset size 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, 2002 payments under the plan totaled $3,795,455, all of which was
paid by the Distributor to recipients. That included $8,324 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent
company. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Manager paid, in the aggregate, $5,636,118 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:

ERV l/n - 1 = Average Annual Total Return
---
P

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[OBJECT OMITTED]
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|_| 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 "Eastern 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. The
Trust will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.

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.

Centennial Government Trust Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
Centennial Money Market Trust Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.

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, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares. The federal tax treatment of the
Trust's distributions is briefly highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only a summary of certain
additional tax considerations generally affecting the Trust and its shareholders.

The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information is based on tax law in
effect on the date of the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. Those laws and regulations may
be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, possible with retroactive effect. State and local
tax treatment of exempt-interest dividends and potential capital gain distributions from regulated investment
companies may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code described below. Potential purchasers of
shares of the Trust are urged to consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax
circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state and local tax rules affecting an investment in the
Trust.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Trust has elected to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a regulated
investment company, the Trust is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income
(that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net
income (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it
distributes to shareholders.

If the Trust qualifies as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code, it will not
be liable for federal income tax on amounts it pays as dividends and other 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 dividends and other distributions made to shareholders. In such an instance, all of the
Trust's dividends would be taxable to shareholders.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Trust must distribute at least 90% of its investment
company taxable income (in brief, net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net
long-term capital loss) and at least 90% of its net tax-exempt income for the taxable year. The Trust must also
satisfy certain other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below.
Distributions by the Trust made during the taxable year or, under specified circumstances, within twelve months
after the close of the taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the taxable year
and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Trust must derive at least 90% of its gross income
from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other
disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains are directly related
to the regulated investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and certain other
income.

In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Trust must satisfy an asset
diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated investment company. Under that test, at the close of
each quarter of the Trust's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Trust's assets must consist of cash
and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment
companies, and securities of other issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Trust must not have invested more
than 5% of the value of the Trust's total assets in securities of each such issuer and the Trust must not hold
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of each such issuer. No more than 25% of the value of its
total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and
securities of other regulated investment companies), or in two or more issuers which the Trust controls and which
are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses. For purposes of this test, obligations issued or
guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are treated as U.S. government
securities.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. 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. If it 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. To meet this requirement, in certain circumstances the
Trust might be required to liquidate portfolio investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax
liability. However, the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be
in the best interests of shareholders for the Trust not to make such 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.

|X| Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Trust intends to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code during each
fiscal year to pay "exempt-interest dividends" to its shareholders. To satisfy this qualification, at the end of
each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Trust's total assets consists of obligations
as defined in Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Exempt-interest dividends that are derived
from net investment income earned by the Trust on municipal securities will be excludable from gross income of
shareholders for federal income tax purposes. To the extent the Trust fails to qualify to pay exempt-interest
dividends in any given form, such dividends would be included in the gross income of shareholders for federal
income tax purposes.

Net investment income includes the allocation of amounts of income from the municipal securities in the
Trust's portfolio that are free from federal income taxes. This allocation will be made by the use of one
designated percentage applied uniformly to all income dividends paid during the Trust's tax year. That
designation will normally be made following the end of each fiscal year as to income dividends paid in the prior
year. The percentage of income designated as tax-exempt may substantially differ from the percentage of the
Trust's income that was tax-exempt for a given period.

A portion of the exempt-interest dividends paid by the Trust may be an item of tax preference for
shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The amount of any dividends attributable to tax
preference items for purposes of the alternative minimum tax will be identified when tax information is
distributed by the Trust.

A shareholder receiving a dividend from income earned by the Trust from one or more of the following
sources must treat the dividend as ordinary income in the computation of the shareholder's gross income,
regardless of whether the dividend is reinvested:
(1) certain taxable temporary investments (such as certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements,
commercial paper and obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities);
(2) income from securities loans;
(3) income or gains from options or futures,
(4) any net short-term capital gain; and
(5) any market discount amortization on tax-exempt bonds.

The Trust's dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations.
Shareholders receiving Social Security benefits should be aware that exempt-interest dividends are a factor in
determining whether (and the extent to which) such benefits are subject to federal income tax. Losses realized by
shareholders on the redemption of Fund shares within six months of purchase will be disallowed for federal income
tax purposes to the extent of exempt-interest dividends received on such shares.

The Trust may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year.
The Trust currently intends to distribute any such amounts. If the net capital gain is distributed and
designated as a capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as a long-term capital gain and
will be properly identified in reports sent to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no
matter how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by the Trust
before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

If the Trust elects to retain its net capital gain, the Trust will be subject to tax on it at the 35%
corporate tax rate. If the Trust elects to retain its net capital gain, it is expected that the Trust also will
elect to have shareholders of record on the last day of its taxable year treated as if each received a
distribution of their pro rata share of such gain. As a result, each shareholder will be required to report his
or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax
credit for his/her pro rata share of tax paid by the Trust on the gain, and will increase the tax basis for
his/her shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

Distributions by the Trust will be treated in the manner described above regardless of whether the
distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Trust (or of another fund).
Shareholders receiving a distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the
reinvestment date.

The Trust will be required in certain cases to withhold 30% (29% for payments after December 31, 2003)
of ordinary income dividends (not including "exempt-interest dividends"), capital gains distributions (including
short-term and long-term) and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has
-
failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number when required, (2)
-------
who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend income properly,
or (3) who has failed to certify to the Trust that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or is an
"exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). All income and any tax withheld by the Trust is remitted by the Trust
to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year.

Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares. If a shareholder redeems all or a portion of his/her shares, the
-
shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares in an amount equal to the difference between the
proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. All or a portion of any
loss recognized in that manner may be disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Trust within 30
days before or after the redemption.

In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of the Trust will be considered
capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as a capital asset. It will be long-term capital gain or loss if
the shares were held for more than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the redemption of shares
held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital
gain dividends received on those shares. Special holding period rules under the Internal Revenue Code apply in
this case to determine the holding period of shares and there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses
in any year.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a foreign person (including, but not
limited to, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a
foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income from the Trust is effectively
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid (not including
exempt-interest dividends paid by the Trust) from a mutual fund are not considered "effectively connected" income.

Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Trust (and are deemed not "effectively connected income")
to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax withheld by the Trust at a rate of 30%, provided the Trust
obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign
person's country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income
dividends paid by the Trust. All income and any tax withheld by the Trust is remitted by the Trust to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each year.

If the ordinary income dividends from the Trust are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S.
---
trade or business, then the foreign person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the
Trust obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.

If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign status, the Trust will be
required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 30% (29% for payments after December 31, 2003) on ordinary income
dividends (not including "exempt-interest dividends"), capital gains distributions (including short-term and
long-term) and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. All income and any tax
withheld (in this situation) by the Trust is remitted by the Trust to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in
reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year.

The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may
be different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the
Trust, including the applicability of the U.S. withholding taxes described above.

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

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS 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, 2002, 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, 2002, 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, 2002, the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the on a when-issued basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Trust may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends six months or more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Trust maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its commitments. These transactions of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Trusts net asset value to the extent the Trust executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. As of June 30, 2002, the Trust had entered into outstanding net when-issued (or forward commitments) transactions of $103,472,248.

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

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, 2002, the Trust had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss carryforward as follows:

Expiring -------------------------------- 2008 $54,179 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLASSIFICATION OF DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Trust.

15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued Centennial Tax Exempt Trust ================================================================================ 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued

        The Trust adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the year ended June 30, 2002, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $13,667. Accumulated net realized loss on investments was decreased by the same amount. Net assets of the Trust were unaffected by the reclassifications.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized 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.

================================================================================ 2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST The Trust has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

================================================================================ 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, 2002 was an annualized rate of 0.42%.

16 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 a $14.75 per account fee. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SERVICE PLAN (12B-1) FEES. The Trust has adopted a service plan. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold shares of the Trust. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate up to 20% of the average annual net assets of the Trust. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Trust paid $8,324 to a broker/dealer affiliated with the Manager as reimbursement for distribution-related expenses.

================================================================================ 4. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES

As of June 30, 2002, 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. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of June 30, 2002 was $13,835,000, which represents 0.76% of the Trusts net assets, of which $13,835,000 is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

Appendix A

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 Trust. 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 Trust 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+."

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust filed as
Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees,
officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or
controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
trustee, officer or controlling person, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
