AN ATTRACTIVELY HIGH YIELD AND A LOW RISK SCORE ADDS TO ITS APPEAL." --MORNINGSTAR MUTUAL FUNDS 12/23/94 How Your Fund Is Managed Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund is designed to give you the benefits of a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and other fixed income investments. We manage your Fund to provide quarterly income from fixed income and other dividend-paying securities with a secondary objective of capital appreciation by investing in stocks, while maintaining principal as well. Diversification provides another advantage to shareholders: less risk. Because the Fund's assets are allocated across different types of securities, investment risk is reduced. And to maintain performance while offsetting risks in this year's volatile markets, your managers have increased the holdings of quality stocks over their previous levels. Performance Total return at net asset value for the 12 months ended 6/30/95 was 15.66% for Class A shares and 14.87% for Class B shares.(1) Your Fund's average annual total returns at maximum offering price for Class A shares for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ended 6/30/95 were 9.01%, 7.93% and 11.07%, respectively. For Class B shares, average annual total returns for the 1-year period ended 6/30/95 and since inception of the Class on 8/17/93 were 9.87% and 4.29%, respectively.(2) Outlook "We're currently taking profits on stocks that we believe have reached their peak price for this cycle. We remain defensively optimistic--positioned so that we can participate in what we believe remains a rising market, while relying on our bond and cash holdings in seeking to limit the effects of any short-term volatility." JOHN DONEY, PORTFOLIO MANAGER JUNE 30, 1995 All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment and principal value on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 1. Based on the change in net asset value per share for the period shown, without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if sales charges were taken into account. 2. Class A returns show results of hypothetical investments on 6/30/94, 6/30/90 and 6/30/85, after deducting the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Class A shares were first publicly offered on 12/1/70. The Fund's maximum sales charge for Class A shares was higher during a portion of some of the periods shown, and actual investment results will be different as a result of the change. Class B returns show results of hypothetical investments on 6/30/94 and 8/17/93 (inception of class), and the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 4% (since inception). An explanation of the different performance calculations is in the Fund's prospectus. 2 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund [PHOTO] James C. Swain Chairman Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund [PHOTO] Jon S. Fossel President Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund Dear OppenheimerFunds Shareholder, In the first six months of 1995, the stock and bond markets have improved significantly. The Federal Reserve's seven interest rate hikes between February 1994 and February 1995 appear to have achieved their intended effect, as the rate of economic growth has slowed throughout the year. This economic outlook of sustainable, healthy growth with low inflation, falling interest rates, and talk of deficit reduction inspired investors' confidence in the stock market. As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit record highs repeatedly in the first half of the year. The stock market has been strong for other reasons as well. Overall, corporate America has done an excellent job of restructuring, and has become more productive and profitable. Combined with continued investment in technology and increased competitiveness abroad as a result of a weaker dollar, these events resulted in spectacular first quarter earnings reports. While the market's rise this year has been dramatic, it has caused our equity investment team to become slightly more cautious. Because the market has already registered significant gains this year, the stock market is starting to see signs of short-term volatility, and your Fund's managers want to protect the gains the Fund has made. Still, the market's expansion has been fueled by underlying fundamental strengths. So, while we are cautious, we believe it has room to continue. Congress's continuing emphasis on deficit reduction, plus Washington's commitment to correcting our trade imbalance, should benefit the market--in addition to attracting foreign investments to U.S. stocks, creating even greater demand and possibly pushing their prices up further. Should the economy slow more than anticipated, however, we would expect to see earnings slow eventually, which could cause the market to hesitate. In this event, smaller companies and international stocks could begin to outperform the large, globally-oriented companies that have led the market so far this year. However, until your Fund's managers see signs of either increased inflation or recession on the horizon, they remain constructive on the market in general and will view any volatility in the near term as a time to search for buying opportunities. At OppenheimerFunds, our approach to the stock market is to invest with a long-term view, to participate in upswings while remaining prudent, and, finally, to know when to become more defensive to protect the gains we have made. Your portfolio manager discusses the outlook for your Fund on the following pages. Thank you for your confidence in OppenheimerFunds, and we look forward to helping you continue to reach your investment goals in the future. /s/ James C. Swain /s/ Jon S. Fossel James C. Swain Jon S. Fossel July 24, 1995 3 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund Q + A [PHOTO] [PHOTO] An interview with your Fund's manager. Q What factors contributed to the Fund's outstanding performance? THE FUND'S RETURNS WERE QUITE STRONG OVER THE YEAR. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO ITS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE? The Fund has had a great year for two reasons--strong stock picks and the dramatic improvement in the market. Buoyed by a decline in interest rates and continued strong corporate earnings, the market is up even more than most professionals expected. That has been a pleasant surprise for us and for shareholders. WHAT IMPACT HAS THE CURRENT MARKET HAD ON YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS? In this Fund, we tend to look at individual issuers rather than industries, making our decisions based on companies' specific valuations and future prospects, rather than on predictions for their sector of the market. We've been buying cyclical companies where we see earnings trends that are powerful enough to overcome any tendency for stock prices to suffer, because we're moving into a slower economy. Dow Chemical and Occidental Petroleum are two good examples. We've also maintained our high level of exposure in the banking sector--our major holdings are still Chase, Chemical and Citicorp--in the belief that they still represent some of the best values in the stock market. As a group, bank stocks generally have good yields now, and we believe future dividend increases are likely.(1) HAS IT BECOME MORE DIFFICULT IN TODAY'S MARKET ENVIRONMENT TO EARN STRONG DIVIDEND YIELDS? With stock prices up and few companies raising dividends, it's much tougher now. In fact, the yield on the S&P 500 is currently at a historical record low. In the face of this difficulty, however, we have [PHOTO] 1.

[PHOTO] maintained our quarterly dividend, which was just paid on June 21. WHEN THE STOCK MARKET WAS STRUGGLING IN 1994, WERE YOU ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY BUYING OPPORTUNITIES THAT WERE CREATED TO STRENGTHEN THE PORTFOLIO? During 1994, we bought some higher-quality common stocks like Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M) and Anheuser Busch, but we bought them because they represented good value rather than for their quality. We continue to evaluate stocks based on their fundamentals and valuations, avoiding those with unfavorable earnings outlooks or stock prices that are high enough on a historical basis to be considered vulnerable. WHAT MOVES ARE YOU MAKING WITHIN THE PORTFOLIO AS A WHOLE? We're selling stocks where we believe prospects for earnings are not particularly good over the next year, and also cutting back on those like Johnson & Johnson, American Express and Tektronics, that have done quite well over the period. Also, we've increased our percentage of convertibles within the airline industry--notably Delta Airlines--where fundamentals and profitability have improved. Finally, our fixed-rate bond portfolio is currently around 16% of assets, which includes U.S. government issues, foreign government bonds and a small percentage of corporates. In the government bond sector, we're using shorter maturity bonds because of the recent drop in long-term yields. We've also allowed cash in the portfolio to build to around 17% as a defensive measure. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND GOING FORWARD? We expect that the market will continue to be strong long term. We're currently taking profits on stocks that we believe have reached their peak price for this phase of the business cycle, because they're the ones that would be most vulnerable to disappointments in the event of a temporary market decline. We remain defensively optimistic--positioned so that we can participate in what we believe remains an up market, while relying on our bond and cash holdings in seeking to limit the effects of any short-term volatility.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 17 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund (the Fund) is ACCOUNTING POLICIES registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment advisor is Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the Manager). The Fund offers both Class A and Class B shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Both classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own distribution and/or service plan, expenses directly attributable to a particular class and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting a single class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date of purchase. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. --------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT VALUATION. Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or asked price or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Such securities which cannot be valued by the approved portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current market value, or under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. --------------------------------------------------- FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's result of operations. --------------------------------------------------- REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. --------------------------------------------------- ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES AND GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class) and gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. --------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund 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, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. --------------------------------------------------- EQUALIZATION. Prior to September 24, 1993, the Fund followed the accounting practice of equalization, by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of redemptions of Fund shares equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of undistributed net investment income were credited or charged to undistributed income. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting practice resulted in a reclassification of $32,950,419 from undistributed net investment income to paid-in capital. 18 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund ----------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ----------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and POLICIES (CONTINUED) distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. --------------------------------------------------- CLASSIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of paydown gains and losses and the recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The character of the distributions made during the 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 dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gain (loss) was recorded by the Fund. Effective July 1, 1993, the Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result, the Fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. During the year ended June 30, 1995, in accordance with Statement of Position 93-2, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,820,726, and accumulated net realized gain on investments was increased by the same amount. --------------------------------------------------- OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discount on securities purchased is amortized over the life of the respective securities, in accordance with federal income tax requirements. Interest on payment-in-kind debt instruments is accrued as income at the coupon rate and a market adjustment is made on the ex-date. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. --------------------------------------------------- 2. SHARES OF The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no BENEFICIAL INTEREST par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

UNREALIZED GAINS AND At June 30, 1995, net unrealized appreciation on LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS investments of $261,560,564 was composed of gross appreciation of $296,970,357, and gross depreciation of $35,409,793. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. MANAGEMENT FEES AND Management fees paid to the Manager were in OTHER TRANSACTIONS accordance with the investment advisory agreement WITH AFFILIATES with the Fund which provides for a fee of .75% on the first $100 million of average annual net assets with a reduction of .05% on each $100 million thereafter, to .50% on net assets in excess of $500 million. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund if aggregate expenses (with specified exceptions) exceed 1.5% of the first $30 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, plus 1% of average annual net assets in excess of $30 million. For the year ended June 30, 1995, commissions (sales charges paid by investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $4,629,585, of which $1,414,085 was retained by Oppenheimer Funds Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the Manager, as general distributor, and by an affiliated broker/dealer. Sales charges advanced to broker/dealers by OFDI on sales of the Fund's Class B shares totaled $2,424,041, of which $193,761 was paid to an affiliated broker/dealer. During the year ended June 30, 1995, OFDI received contingent deferred sales charges of $232,362 upon redemption of Class B shares, as reimbursement for sales commissions advanced by OFDI at the time of sale of such shares. Oppenheimer Shareholder Services (OSS), a division of the Manager, is the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund, and for other registered investment companies. OSS's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably to these companies. Under separate approved plans, each class may expend up to .25% of its net assets annually to reimburse OFDI for costs incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the Fund, including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other institutions. In addition, Class B shares are subject to an asset-based sales charge of .75% of net assets annually, to reimburse OFDI for sales commissions paid from its own resources at the time of sale and associated financing costs. In the event of termination or discontinuance of the Class B plan, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payment of the asset-based sales charge of OFDI for distribution expenses incurred on Class B shares sold prior to termination or discontinuance of the plan. During the year ended June 30, 1995, OFDI paid $204,516 and $10,645, respectively, to an affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class A and Class B personal service and maintenance expenses and retained $1,120,169 as reimbursement for Class B sales commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

The securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. The Fund intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase) in illiquid and restricted securities. The aggregate value of these securities subject to this limitation at June 30, 1995 was $5,818,750, which represents .28% of the Fund's net assets.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at June 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund at June 30, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Denver, Colorado July 24, 1995 21 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund ------------------------------------------ FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) ------------------------------------------ In early 1996, shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 1995. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service. A distribution of $.2472 per share was paid on December 23, 1994, of which $.1272 was designated as a "capital gain distribution" for federal income tax purposes. Whether received in stock or cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains). Dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 55.85% to arrive at the net amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance. 22 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund ------------------------------ OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES James C.
