SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 24 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Oppenheimer Discovery Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N 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, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. 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 and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ by minor amounts due to each class having its own expenses directly attributable to that class. Classes A, B, C and N 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 Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. 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. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price provided by NASDAQ 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 may be valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Foreign securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the close of their respective foreign exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using 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 amortized cost (which approximates market value). 25 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts on a daily basis. Secured by U.S. government securities, these balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements. 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. In the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis 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 comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders, therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. 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 Fund. As of March 31, 2004, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an estimated unused capital loss carryforward of $221,624,837 expiring by 2011. This estimated capital loss carryforward represents carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased for losses deferred under tax accounting rules to the current fiscal year and is increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended September 30, 2003, the Fund used $157,791,498 and $0, respectively, of carryforward to offset capital gains realized. As of September 30, 2003, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows: EXPIRING ---------------------- 2009 $ 12,201,695 2010 258,482,944 2011 108,731,696 ------------ Total $379,416,335 ============ 26 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $9,615 and payments of $16,116 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated liability of $205,954 as of March 31, 2004. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees, that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or are invested in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the Plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT. The reduction of custodian fees, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 27 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

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 at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets, 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 $700 million, and 0.58% of average annual net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. 28 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Fund paid $1,855,038 to OFS for services to the Fund. Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $5,000 for assets of less than $10 million and $10,000 for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees up to an annual rate of 0.35% of average annual net assets for all classes.

The Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial institutions for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A shares.

The Distributor also receives a service fee of up to 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination.

ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES As of March 31, 2004, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are 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 March 31, 2004 was $9,033,931, which represents 0.83% of the Fund's net assets, all of which are considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

30 | OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. BORROWING AND LENDING ARRANGEMENTS The Fund entered into an "interfund borrowing and lending arrangement" with other funds in the Oppenheimer funds complex, to allow funds to borrow for liquidity purposes. The arrangement was initiated pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to allow these affiliated funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other, in an attempt to reduce borrowing costs below those of bank loan facilities. The SEC's order requires the Fund's Board of Trustees to adopt operating policies and procedures to administer interfund borrowing and lending. Under the arrangement the Fund may lend money to other Oppenheimer funds and may borrow from other Oppenheimer funds at a rate set by the Fund's Board of Trustees, based upon a recommendation by the Manager. The Fund's borrowings, if any, are subject to asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act and the provisions of the SEC order and other applicable regulations. If the Fund borrows money, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day's notice, in which case the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at higher rates if a loan were not available from another Oppenheimer fund. If the Fund lends money to another fund, it will be subject to the risk that the other fund might not repay the loan in a timely manner, or at all. The Fund had no interfund borrowings or loans outstanding during the six months ended or at March 31, 2004. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Unaudited -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund.
