Bridget A. Macaskill
President

Dear Shareholder,

The year 2000 was one to remember, both for the performance of the financial markets and the lessons it presented to all investors.

      In many ways, 2000 was a study in contrasts. Many stocks experienced sharp declines, while municipal and high quality bonds performed strongly. The year began with unrestrained enthusiasm for technology stocks in particular, and growth stocks in general, but ended with value-oriented stocks providing better performance.

      Market conditions shifted dramatically during 2000. When the year began, the economy was growing rapidly, raising concerns that long-dormant inflationary pressures might resurface. By midyear, however, after a series of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed), the economy began to slow—triggering fears of a potential recession. The slowing economy generally hurt the stock market and benefited high quality bonds.

      The lessons provided by a volatile and difficult year reinforced many of the basic investment principles we have discussed in this letter from time to time. In 2000, market volatility was a powerful reminder of the importance of investment diversification—the time-honored strategy of spreading risk among various asset classes, industry groups and investment styles. In addition, actively managed funds generally outperformed passive index funds, as research-intensive security selection again made a critical difference for portfolio returns. Perhaps most important, the markets in 2000 confirmed that sound business fundamentals, rather than investment fads, are a more powerful determinant of investment success over the long term.

      Looking forward, we are cautiously optimistic. Our caution arises from expectations that the economy will grow only moderately during the first half of 2001. The Fed, already more concerned about a potential recession than inflation, reversed its monetary

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

policy of the past 18 months by reducing key short-term interest rates. This rate cut, combined with the possibility of future interest rate reductions and a federal income tax cut, may help the economy achieve a “soft landing.”

      Our current situation has mixed implications for stocks and bonds. While slowed growth may mean decelerated corporate earnings growth, lower interest rates could bolster stock valuations. Similarly, slower economic growth has helped interest-rate-sensitive securities, such as U.S. Government securities, but may have a negative effect on credit-sensitive corporate bonds.

      In overseas markets, we believe potential investment opportunities may reside in Europe, which appears to be experiencing slow, steady growth bolstered by the strengthening euro and falling oil prices. Signs are less encouraging in Japan, where the economy generally remains weak. Lower interest rates are buoying the economies of the emerging markets—but slowing growth, plus Mideast tensions, could cast a shadow over these regions.

      In this uncertain environment, we intend to adhere to the same proven investment principles that have driven our funds’ past success: broad diversification to help reduce risk, an unwavering focus on business fundamentals to seek likely winners, and a long-term perspective that preserves the integrity of each fund’s investment approach. Regardless of the short-term movements of the financial markets, these principles—fundamental parts of The Right Way to Invest—should serve investors well in 2001 and beyond.

     
Sincerely,

AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND’S MANAGERS


PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
TEAM (L TO R)

David Negri
John Kowalik

Q. How did Oppenheimer Bond Fund perform during the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2000?

A. Although the broad market indexes point toward a positive year for domestic bonds, those all-inclusive results mask weak or negative performance in most sectors of the market. While Treasury prices climbed sharply, prices for high quality corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and agency issues moved only marginally, and suffered by comparison. Only toward year-end did these “spread” sectors begin to close the gap with Treasuries. And high yield securities, whose fates are closely tied to their issuers’ stock prices, were generally dragged down by a slumping stock market.

      While this challenging scenario did not make it easy for Oppenheimer Bond Fund, we are nevertheless disappointed with its total return for the period.

What caused the widening gap between “spread product” and Treasury yields?

It resulted from a combination of rising interest rates, changing investor expectations, and a shrinking supply of Treasury bonds. In February, the Treasury Department began using the federal budget surplus to retire long-term government debt. As the supply of 30-year Treasuries shrank, prices shot up. At the same time, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) increased key short-term interest rates, in an effort to restrain economic growth and reduce the threat of higher inflation. These increases raised the cost of borrowing for businesses, thus keeping yields high (and prices low) in other market sectors.

      As we approached midyear, there were intermittent signs of economic slowing. Meanwhile, despite sharply rising oil prices, inflation remained relatively moderate. Reassured by this, investors allowed Treasury prices to continue their upward drift. However, it was not until the second half of the year, when Federal Reserve data confirmed the slowdown, that other bond-market sectors rallied. Believing that the Fed had taken the “fight” out of inflation and might cease its interest rate increases, investors allowed short-term yields, as well as yields on most longer term “spread products,” to subside.

How did these events affect the Fund?

The Fund seeks high current income, primarily by investing in higher yielding and/or longer maturity corporate and agency bonds. Since the yields on long-term bonds in most sectors remained relatively high compared to Treasury yields, the Fund produced considerable levels of income. However, because bond yields and bond prices move in opposite directions, the persistently high yields generally eroded the value of our corporate and agency holdings.

Specifically, what happened in the high yield sector?

High yield corporate bonds are deeply affected by interest rates and the direction of the stock market. During 2000, both factors worked against this sector. Rising interest rates triggered worries about whether companies could generate enough profit to pay their debts. Bankers responded with more stringent lending criteria, making it harder for companies to obtain loans. And the stock market, after peaking in March, retreated and remained beleaguered by inflation and profit worries. With nowhere to turn, companies needing capital for growth suffered. Among the hardest hit were telecommunications companies, many of whose stocks and high yield bonds lost value. Fortunately, the Fund had a relatively small investment in telecom issues.

Did you make any changes to the portfolio during the year?

When corporate and Treasury yields went their separate ways, we recognized that long-term corporate bonds were in for a rough time. So we opted to reduce our exposure there and transferred assets to intermediate-term corporate bonds, which were providing virtually the same yield but with less interest rate sensitivity.

      We also added commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). These were lower rated but still investment-grade securities that generally outperformed similarly rated corporate bonds during the period. CMBS allow investors to receive the principal and interest payments from a group of loans that are issued to many different companies and are secured by the companies’ real estate. With the high yield market in a shambles, investors increasingly turned to CMBS as an alternative, and our holdings in this area performed very well.

What is your outlook for the domestic bond markets?

Now that the economy has slowed down, we see no compelling reasons why it should speed up again anytime soon. Nor do we expect economic growth to come to a screeching halt. There are some inflationary pressures, namely higher energy prices but unless these are passed along to customers in the form of higher prices for products, we don’t think they will trigger more interest rate hikes by the Fed. So, we expect the markets for the “spread” products in which we invest to continue to improve. In the interim, we will continue to take advantage of temporary market weaknesses and prepare the portfolio for better times. We will remain patient and committed to our disciplined investment approach, both of which are important parts of The Right Way to Invest.

FUND PERFORMANCE

How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to an appropriate broad-based market index.

Management’s discussion of performance. During the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2000, Oppenheimer Bond Fund’s performance reflected a challenging investment environment. Spurred by a program to repurchase long-term government debt, 30-year Treasury bonds gained value during the period. Meanwhile, bonds in other market sectors generally lost value in the first half of the year, as interest rates hikes instituted by the Federal Reserve kept upward pressure on their yields. This effect was greatest for high yield corporate bonds. In the second half of the year, a sharp drop in the rate of economic expansion, combined with moderate inflation rates, boosted investor confidence. Yields outside the long-term Treasury sector dropped. “Spread” products rallied but still underperformed Treasury securities. Against this backdrop, strong performance by the Fund’s Treasury investments partially offset poor results for its corporate, agency and high yield bonds. At midyear, a portion of the long-term corporate bond holdings were sold, and the assets reinvested in intermediate-term bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The latter performed very well, but the gains were insufficient to compensate for losses elsewhere in the portfolio.

Comparing the Fund’s performance to the market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B and Class C shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions.

      The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, a broad-based, unmanaged index of publicly issued non-convertible investment grade corporate debt of U.S. issuers, widely recognized as a measure of the U.S. fixed-rate corporate bond market. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

NOTES

In reviewing performance and rankings, please remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Because of ongoing market volatility, the Fund’s performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. For updates on the Fund’s performance, please contact your financial advisor, call us at 1.800.525.7048 or visit our website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

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

Class A shares were first publicly offered on 4/15/88. The Fund’s maximum sales charge for Class A shares was lower prior to 3/29/91, so actual performance may have been higher. Unless otherwise noted, Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Class B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 5/3/93. Unless otherwise noted, Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year). Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the life-of-class return for Class B uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Class B shares are subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

Class C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 7/11/95. Unless otherwise noted, Class C returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Class C shares are subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

Class Y shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 4/27/98. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors under special agreement with the Distributor.

An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

1.   Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted—See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements.
2.   Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows.
3.   When-issued security to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2000.
4.   Securities with an aggregate market value of $566,152 are held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures sales contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.
5.   Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.
6.   Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $45,721,535 or 14.67% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2000.
7.   Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows.
8.   Issuer is in default.
9.   Interest or dividend is paid in kind.
10.   Denotes a step bond: a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable interest rate at a designated future date.
11.   Non-income-producing security.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Bond Fund (the Fund) is a separate fund of Oppenheimer Integrity Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income by investing mainly in debt instruments. The Fund’s investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).

      The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own expenses directly attributable to that class and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting that class. Classes A, B and C have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. 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.


Securities Valuation.  Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term “money market type” debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortize cost (which approximates market value).


Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis.  Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends beyond six months and possibly as long as two years or more beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of

32 OPPENHEIMER BOND FUND


December 31, 2000, the Fund had entered into outstanding net when-issued or forward commitments of $50,012,813.

      In connection with its ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, the Fund may enter into mortgage dollar-rolls in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Fund records each dollar-roll as a sale and a new purchase transaction.


Security Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high yield securities, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk, greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than lower yielding, higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of December 31, 2000, securities with an aggregate market value of $31,075, representing 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.


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 foreign 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 Statement 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, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), 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.

33 OPPENHEIMER BOND FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Continued


1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

As of December 31, 2000, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryovers as follows:

         
Expiring

2002 $ 2,246,311
2003 1,578,277
2004 2,411,327
2007 10,208,297
2008 15,303,133

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 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 dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its 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 realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

      The Fund 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 December 31, 2000, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $106,131, a decrease in overdistributed net investment income of $8,719, and a decrease in accumulated net realized loss on investments of $97,412. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.


Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.


Other.  Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discount on securities purchased is accreted over the life of the respective securities, in accordance with federal income tax requirements. Realized gains and losses on investments and options written and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Dividends-in-kind are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, at the current market value of the underlying security. Interest on payment-in-kind debt instruments is accrued as income at the coupon rate and a market adjustment is made periodically.

34 OPPENHEIMER BOND FUNDS


      The Fund will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, as revised, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. As required, the Fund will begin amortizing premiums on debt securities effective January 1, 2001. Prior to this date, the Fund did not amortize premiums on debt securities. The cumulative effect of this accounting change will have no impact on the total net assets of the Fund, but will result in a $331,883 decrease to cost of securities and a corresponding $331,883 decrease in net unrealized depreciation, based on securities held as of December 31, 2000.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2000, were $785,816,722 and $813,842,524, respectively.

As of December 31, 2000, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on cost of securities for federal income tax purposes of $363,441,558 was:

Gross unrealized depreciation (14,549,593 )

Net unrealized depreciation $ (6,522,627 )


4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees.  Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee of 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of $1 billion. The Fund’s management fee for the year ended December 31, 2000 was an annualized rate of 0.74%, before any waiver by the Manager if applicable.


Transfer Agent Fees.  OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Prior to January 1, 2001, OFS performed these services on an “at-cost” basis. Beginning January 2001, OFS is paid at an agreed upon per account fee.


Distribution and Service Plan Fees.  Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Manager, the Distributor acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the different classes of shares of the Fund.

The compensation paid to (or retained by) the Distributor from the sale of shares or on the redemption of shares is shown in the table below for the period indicated.

December 31, 2000 $5,711 $ 353,390 $8,040

36 OPPENHEIMER BOND FUND


      The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class.


Class A Service Plan Fees.  Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class A shares purchased. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2000, payments under the Class A plan totaled $497,274 prior to Manager waiver if applicable, all of which were paid by the Distributor to recipients, and included $107,527 paid to an affiliate of the Manager. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years.


Class B and Class C Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under each plan, service fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular business day during the period. The Class B and Class C plans provide for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor’s distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid.

      The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B shares. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the first year the shares are outstanding. The asset-based sales charges on Class B and Class C shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares.

      The Distributor’s actual expenses in selling Class B and Class C shares may be more than the payments it receives from the contingent deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and asset-based sales charges from the Fund under the plans. If any plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was terminated. The plans allow for the carry-forward of distribution expenses, to be recovered from asset-based sales charges in subsequent fiscal periods.

Distribution fees paid to the Distributor for the year ended December 31, 2000, were as follows:

5. Foreign Currency Contracts

      A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

      The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided by a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

      The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign currency transactions. Realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations.

      Securities denominated in foreign currency to cover net exposure on outstanding foreign currency contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable.


6. Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly-based securities indices “financial futures” or debt securities “interest rate futures” in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.

      The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in interest rates as it may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income securities.

      Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

      Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin.

38 OPPENHEIMER BOND FUND


      Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

As of December 31, 2000, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

                                 
Expiration Number of Valuation as of Unrealized

$ 228,945


7. Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.

      The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

      Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

      Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Operations.

      The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

Options outstanding as of December 31, 2000 $



8. Illiquid or Restricted Securities

As of December 31, 2000, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of December 31, 2000 was $17,477,893, which represents 5.61% of the Fund’s net assets, of which $1,214 is considered restricted.

9. Bank Borrowings

The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including, without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage for borrowings exceeds 300%. The Fund has entered into an agreement which enables it to participate with other Oppenheimer funds in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400 million, collectively. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.45%. Borrowings are payable 30 days after such loan is executed. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.

      The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the year ended or at December 31, 2000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Bond Fund, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Bond Fund as of December 31, 2000, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited


In early 2001 shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2000. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

      Dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 0.91% 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.
