The Trust's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Trust seeks a high level of current income that is consistent with
the preservation of capital 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. The Trust invests principally in short-term, U.S. dollar denominated
debt instruments issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. 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. Many of the securities issued by the U.S.
government are not rated, but the Trust may purchase them because they meet the "high quality" standards of the
Trust.

The Trust will invest under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for
investment purposes) in debt instruments issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities.
Although this is not a fundamental policy, the amount so invested will not be changed by the Board without
providing shareholders at least 60 days prior notice of the change.

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 investments (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 1.02%.
During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was 1.48%
(4th 'Q 00) and the lowest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was 0.49% (4th Q '01).

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 Fees1 0.43%

Other Expenses2 0.08%

Total Annual Operating Expenses 0.71%

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

1. The management fee is shown without giving effect to a contractual management fee reduction. With that
reduction the Management fee was 0.35% and the "Total Annual Operating Expenses" were 0.63%.
2. "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 U.S. Government Securities. The Trust invests mainly in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities. Some are direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the
United States. Other U.S. government securities, such as pass-through certificates issued by the
Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), are also supported by the full faith and credit
of the U.S. government. Some government securities, agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
government are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as securities
of the Federal National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae). Others may be supported only by the credit
of the instrumentality, such as obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

o Other Money Market Instruments. The Trust can invest in variable or floating rate notes, variable rate
master demand notes or in master demand notes. The Trust can also purchase other debt obligations with
a length of permitted maturity up to the maximum permitted under Rule 2a-7 (currently 397 days) from the
date of purchase. It may purchase debt obligations that have been called for redemption by the issuer
if the redemption will occur within the length of permitted maturity up to the maximum permitted under
Rule 2a-7 (currently 397 days). Please refer to "What Standards Apply to the Trust's Investments?" below
for more details.

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. According to the standards, the Trust can invest without limit in U.S. government securities because of
their limited investment risks. No security's maturity will exceed the maximum time permitted under Rule 2a-7
(currently 397 days). Finally, the Trust must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not more
than 90 days, to reduce interest rate risks.

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 of the 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).

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 may be
subject to repurchase agreements maturing in seven days or less.

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 its 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 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.

I N V E S T I N G I N T H E T R U S T S

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's objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital and
the maintenance of liquidity. The Trust will not make investments with the objective of seeking capital growth.
However, the value of the securities held by the Trust may be affected by changes in general interest rates.
Because the current value of debt securities varies inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, if interest
rates increase after a security is purchased, that security would normally decline in value. Conversely, if
interest rates decrease after a security is purchased, its value would rise. However, those fluctuations in value
will not generally result in realized gains or losses to the Trust since the Trust does not usually intend to
dispose of securities prior to their maturity. A debt security held to maturity is redeemable by its issuer at full
principal value plus accrued interest.

The Trust may sell securities prior to their maturity, to attempt to take advantage of short-term market
variations, or because of a revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other considerations. The Trust may also do
so to generate cash to satisfy redemptions of Trust shares. In such cases, the Trust may realize a capital gain or
loss on the security.

|X| 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 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. The Trust cannot invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by one
issuer. 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. 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.

|X| U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities are obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. They include Treasury Bills (which mature within one year of
the date they are issued) and Treasury Notes and Bonds (which are issued with longer maturities). All Treasury
securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that issue or guarantee securities include, but are not
limited to, the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers Home Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United
States, Small Business Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, General Services Administration,
Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Intermediate Credit
Banks, Federal Land Banks, Maritime Administration, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the District of Columbia
Armory Board. The Trust will not invest in securities issued by the Inter-American Development Bank, the
Asian-American Development Bank and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or in pooled mortgages
offered by the Federal Housing Administration or Veterans Administration.

Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are not always backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States. Some, such as securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("Fannie Mae"), are backed by the right of the agency or instrumentality to borrow from the Treasury.
Others, such as securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), are supported only
by the credit of the instrumentality and not by the Treasury. If the securities are not backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States, the purchaser must look principally to the agency issuing the obligation for
repayment and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality
does not meet its commitment. The Trust will invest in U.S. government securities of such agencies and
instrumentalities only when the Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to such instrumentality is
minimal and that the security is an Eligible Security.

|X| Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Trust acquires a security from, and
simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed-upon future date. 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. An "approved vendor" may be 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 $50
million which has been designated a primary dealer in government securities. . They must meet credit requirements
set by the Manager from time to time.

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. The Trust will not enter into a repurchase agreement that will cause
more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

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 collateral's value 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. 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.

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.

Other Investment Strategies

o 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.

o Loans of Portfolio Securities. To attempt to increase its income, the Trust may lend its portfolio
securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. These loans are limited to not more than 25% of
the value of the Trust's total assets and are subject to other conditions described below. The Trust will not enter
into any securities lending agreements having a maturity of greater than the maximum time permitted under Rule 2a-7.
The Trust presently does not intend to lend its portfolio securities, but if it does the value of securities loaned
will not exceed 5% of the value of the Trust's total assets in the coming year. There are some risks in lending
securities. The Trust could experience a delay in receiving additional collateral to secure a loan, or a delay in
recovering the loaned securities.

The Trust may receive collateral for a loan. Any securities received as collateral for a loan must mature
in twelve months or less. Under current applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), on each
business day the loan collateral must be at least equal to the market value of the loaned securities. The
collateral must consist of cash, bank letters of credit, U.S. government securities or other cash equivalents in
which the Trust is permitted to invest. To be acceptable as collateral, letters of credit must obligate a bank to
pay amounts demanded by the Trust if the demand meets the terms of the letter. Such terms and the issuing bank must
be satisfactory to the Trust.

When it lends securities, the Trust receives from the borrower an amount equal to the interest paid or the
dividends declared on the loaned securities during the term of the loan. It may also receive negotiated loan fees
and the interest on the collateral securities, less any finders', custodian, administrative or other fees the Trust
pays in connection with the loan. The Trust may share the interest it receives on the collateral securities with
the borrower as long as it realizes at least a minimum amount of interest required by the lending guidelines
established by its Board of Trustees.

The Trust will not lend its portfolio securities to any officer, Trustee, employee or affiliate of the
Trust or its Manager. The terms of the Trust's loans must meet certain tests under the Internal Revenue Code and
permit the Trust to reacquire loaned securities on five business days notice or in time to vote on any important
matter.

o Bank Loan Participation Agreements. The Fund may invest in bank loan participation agreements,
subject to the investment limitation set forth in the Prospectus as to investments in illiquid securities.
Participation agreements provide an undivided interest in a loan made by the bank issuing the participation interest
in the proportion that the buyer's investment bears to the total principal amount of the loan. Under this type of
arrangement, the issuing bank may have no obligation to the buyer other than to pay principal and interest on the
loan if and when received by the bank. Thus, the 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.

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:
o 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
o 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.

o The Trust cannot enter into repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days or purchase securities
which are restricted as to resale or for which market quotations are not readily available, if any
such investment would cause more than 10% of the Trust's assets to be invested in such securities;
o The Trust cannot borrow money in excess of 10% of the value of its total assets, and then only as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes; provided that the Trust will not make
any investment at a time during which such borrowing exceeds 5% of the value of its assets; no
assets of the Trust may be pledged, mortgaged or assigned to secure a debt;
o The Trust cannot make loans, except through (i) the purchase of debt securities listed in the Prospectus
under "Investment Objective and Policies," (ii) the purchase of such debt securities subject to
repurchase agreements, or (iii) loans of securities as described under "Other Investment
Strategies - Loans of Portfolio Securities," in this Statement of Additional Information;
o The Trust cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts or invest in interests in oil, gas or other
mineral exploration or development programs;
o The Trust cannot invest in real estate;
o The Trust cannot purchase securities on margin or make short sales of securities;
o The Trust cannot invest in or hold securities of any issuer if those officers and Trustees 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;
o The Trust cannot underwrite securities of other companies; or
o 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 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.
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.
o The Trust cannot invest in any debt instrument having a maturity in excess of the time period provided for
in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or any other applicable rule, or in the case of a debt
instrument subject to a repurchase agreement or called for redemption, unless purchased subject to
a demand feature which may not exceed the time period provided for in Rule 2a-7, or any other
applicable rule.

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 1981, 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.
Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc. Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust
Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity Fund Centennial Government Trust
Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund Centennial Money Market Trust
Oppenheimer Municipal Fund Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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, Molleur, Masterson, Vottiero, Weiss, Wixted and Zack, and Mses. Feld, Bechtolt, Ives and
Wolf 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 and
surrendered for cancellation 60,000 options to MassMutual for a cash payment of $2,569,800. 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.

Emeritus of the Trust. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 Mr. Steel received $194 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 no aggregate compensation from the Trust and for the
calendar year ended December 31, 2001, he received $16,468 total compensation from all 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 $308 and $280, respectively, 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.
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 ended
2001.
4. Aggregate compensation from the Trust includes $30 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described
below.

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

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

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

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

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

Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager has agreed to reimburse the Trust to the extent that
the Trust's total expenses (including the management fee but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and
extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs) exceed in any fiscal year the lesser of: (i) 1.5% of average annual
net assets of the Trust up to $30 million plus 1% of the average annual net assets in excess of $30 million or; (ii)
25% of the total annual investment income of the Trust. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001 there
were no reimbursements by the Manager to the Trust. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 the Manager reimbursed
$1,247,225 to the Trust.

The investment advisory agreement provides that the Manager shall not be liable for any loss sustained by
reason of the adoption of an investment policy or the purchase, sale or retention of any security on its
recommendation, whether or not such recommendation shall have been based upon its own investigation and research or
upon investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if such recommendation shall have
been made and such other individual, firm or corporation shall have been selected with due care and in good faith,
provided that nothing in the agreement shall be construed to protect the Manager against any liability to the Trust
or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or by reason of 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 $3,164,320, all of which was paid
by the Distributor to recipients. That included $166,101 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Manager paid, in the aggregate, $4,497,062 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" 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.

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:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[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(TM)) 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.

A B O U T Y O U R A C C O U N T

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 Fund will provide you with
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 dividends and capital gains 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, sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax
treatment of ordinary income dividends and capital gain dividends 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. That
qualification enables the Trust to "pass through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without
having to pay tax on them. This avoids a "double tax" on that income and capital gains, since shareholders normally
will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains they receive from the Trust (unless their Trust shares are held in
a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).

The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to qualification that the Trust might
not meet in a particular year. If it did not qualify as a regulated investment company, the Trust would be treated
for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for payments made 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) 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 12 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.

Taxation of Trust Distributions. The Trust anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company
taxable income for each taxable year. Those distributions will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and
treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes.

Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the eligibility of the Trust's dividends for the
dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for
the deduction. The amount of dividends paid by the Trust that may qualify for the deduction is limited to the
aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that the Trust derives from portfolio investments that the Trust has held
for a minimum period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible for the deduction on dividends
paid on Trust shares held for 45 days or less. To the extent the Trust's dividends are derived from gross income
from option premiums, interest income or short-term gains from the sale of securities or dividends from foreign
corporations, those dividends will not qualify for the deduction. Since it is anticipated that most of the Trust's
income will be derived from interest it receives on its investments, the Trust does not anticipate that its
distributions will qualify for this deduction.

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 net long term capital gains are 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.

Investment income that may be received by the Trust from sources within foreign countries may be subject to
foreign taxes withheld at the source. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries
which entitle the Trust to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.

Distributions by the Trust that do not constitute ordinary income dividends or capital gain distributions
will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder's tax basis in their shares. Any excess will
be treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders will be advised annually as to
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If prior
distributions made by the Trust must be re-characterized as a non-taxable return of capital at the end of the fiscal
year as a result of the effect of the Trust's investment policies, they will be identified as such in notices sent
to shareholders.

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, capital gains distributions 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 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, capital gains distributions 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

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 7 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Centennial Government Trust ================================================================================ 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Centennial Government 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 a high level of current income that is consistent with the preservation of capital 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. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Trust, along with other affiliated entities managed by OFI, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement 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 of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

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

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 approximately $1,000 of post-October losses available to offset future capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2011.

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

        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 an increase in paid-in capital of $5,997, a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $11,452, and a decrease in accumulated net realized loss on investments of $5,455. Net assets of the Trust were unaffected by the reclassifications.

8 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued Centennial Government Trust - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. In the agreement, the Manager guarantees that the Trusts total expenses in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, interest and brokerage concessions, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs, shall not exceed the lesser of 1.50% 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 25% of the total annual investment income of the Trust. As a result of this agreement, the Trust was reimbursed $1,247,225 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The Trusts management fee for year ended June 30, 2002 was an annualized rate of 0.43%.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 9 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued Centennial Government Trust ================================================================================ 3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Continued

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 $166,101 to a broker/dealer affiliated with the Manager as reimbursement for distribution-related expenses.

================================================================================ 4. ILLIQUID SECURITIES

As of June 30, 2002, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. A security may 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 securities. The aggregate value of illiquid securities subject to this limitation as of June 30, 2002 was $5,339,707, which represents 0.35% of the Trusts net assets.

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+."
