Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and a 2.25% maximum applicable sales charge except where without sales charge is indicated. Prior to April 1, 2012, the maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares of the Fund was 3.50%. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individuals investment.
September 28, 2012 was the last business day of the Funds fiscal year. See Note 1 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. Index returns are calculated through September 30, 2012.
In the midst of a volatile market environment, the Funds Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a total return of 3.00%. On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed both the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index, which returned 2.95% and 0.65%, respectively, during the period. The Funds focus on carry, or additional yield, by maintaining positions that can potentially boost income above that of the benchmarks, benefited performance this period.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individuals investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 2.25%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 4% (1-year) and 1% (5-year); and for Class C and N shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Prior to April 1, 2012, the maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares of the Fund was 3.50%. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion.
OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND | 5 |
Standardized yield is based on net investment income for the 30-day period ended 9/28/12 and the maximum offering price at the end of the period for Class A shares and the net asset value for Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Each result is compounded semiannually and then annualized. Falling share prices will tend to artificially raise yields.
The Funds performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index. The Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index is a market-weighted index of U.S. government securities with maturities of 1 year or more. The Barclays Capital U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index is an index of U.S. Government securities with maturities of 1 to 3 years. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Funds performance, it must be noted that the Funds investments are not limited to the securities comprising the indices.
The Funds investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a funds investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended September 28, 2012.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios based on the 6-month period ended September 28, 2012 are as follows:
Class | Expense Ratios | |||
Class A | 0.80 | % | ||
Class B | 1.60 | |||
Class C | 1.60 | |||
Class N | 1.10 | |||
Class Y | 0.50 |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Funds Manager and Transfer Agent. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Funds prospectus. The Financial Highlights tables in the Funds financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

These securities amount to $45,735,820 or 2.62% of the Funds net assets as of September 28, 2012.
2. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.
3. Restricted security. The aggregate value of restricted securities as of September 28, 2012 was $26,543,245, which represents 1.52% of the Funds net assets. See Note 7 of the accompanying Notes. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

4. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after September 28, 2012. See Note 1 of the accompanying Notes.
5. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans or other receivables. 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 or asset-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. These securities amount to $49,217,851 or 2.82% of the Funds net assets as of September 28, 2012.
6. 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. These securities amount to $2,840,089 or 0.16% of the Funds net assets as of September 28, 2012.
7. The current amortization rate of the securitys cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change.
8. All or a portion of the security position is held in accounts at a futures clearing merchant and pledged to cover margin requirements on open futures contracts and written options on futures, if applicable. The aggregate market value of such securities is $2,599,922. See Note 6 of the accompanying Notes.
9. Non-income producing security.

OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND | 31 |
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Funds investment objective is to seek high current return and safety of principal. The Funds investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares will be permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds will be allowed. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class N shares are sold, and Class B shares were 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 or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class Y shares. 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 due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Fiscal Year End. The last day of the Funds fiscal year was the last day the New York Stock Exchange was open for trading. The Funds financial statements have been presented through that date to maintain consistency with the Funds net asset value calculations used for shareholder transactions.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery basis. When-issued or delayed delivery refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the 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 purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Funds net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed
32 | OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND |
delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of September 28, 2012, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis Transactions |
||||
Purchased securities | $ | 701,110,976 | ||
Sold securities | 129,863,598 |
The Fund may enter into forward roll transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Funds market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Funds performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.
Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.
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. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and

1. As of September 28, 2012, the Fund had $197,644,724 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. Details of the capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryovers with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates.

2. During the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
3. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Fund utilized $5,047,965 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
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.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for September 30, 2012. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of September 28, 2012 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral 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. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of Other within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Funds assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. 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 is recognized

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. Custodian fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdraft at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The Reduction to custodian expenses line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
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.
Indemnifications. The Funds organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
The Funds Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Funds securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committees fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Funds Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
36 | OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND |
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Funds 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 current days closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the current days closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment companys net asset value per share.
Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.
Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as
OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND | 37 |

2. Securities Valuation Continued
reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Funds assets are valued.
A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.
Security Type | Standard Inputs Generally Considered by Third-Party Pricing Vendors | |
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities | Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors. | |
Loans | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. | |
Event-linked bonds | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. | |
Structured securities | Relevant market information such as the price of underlying financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, or the occurrence of other specific events. | |
Swaps | Relevant market information, including underlying reference assets such as credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates. |
If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Funds Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Managers Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Funds Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.
38 | OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND |
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Funds investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) | Level 1unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
2) | Level 2inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
3) | Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the Managers own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability). |
The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 28, 2012 based on valuation input level:

Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually 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.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributors Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor) acts as the Funds principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Funds classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the Plan) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the Plans) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares daily net assets and 0.25% on Class N shares daily net assets. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 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. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributors aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at September 28, 2012 were as follows:
Class C | $ | 22,319,191 | ||
Class N | 2,139,133 |
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Funds investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND | 43 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instruments price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instruments price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Funds actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds performance.
44 | OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND |
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Funds derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. As of September 28, 2012, the maximum amount of loss that the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $260,281, which represents gross payments to be received by the Fund on these derivative contracts were they to be unwound as of period end. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. The amount of loss that the Fund would incur taking into account these master netting arrangements would be $5,111 as of September 28, 2012. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of September 28, 2012 the Fund has not required certain counterparties to post collateral.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Funds agreements with derivative counterparties have several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Funds net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Funds Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Funds International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements which govern certain positions in swaps,

over-the-counter options and swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.
As of September 28, 2012, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability position was $249,471 for which collateral was not posted by the Fund. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of September 28, 2012, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties.

Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument, or currency, at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Funds assets are valued.
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.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
During the year ended September 28, 2012, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $384,071,799 and $313,010,815 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Funds securities.
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. 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. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the
OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND | 47 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased call options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased put options on treasury and/or euro futures to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
During the year ended September 28, 2012, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $23,881 and $92,008 on purchased call options and purchased put options, respectively.
Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Statement of Investments.
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 that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.
The Fund has written call options on treasury and/or euro futures to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has written put options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
During the year ended September 28, 2012, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $13,720 and $55,511 on written call options and written put options, respectively.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk for over-the-counter options and liquidity risk.

Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by contracts in unrealized appreciation and depreciation positions. Upfront payments paid or received, if any, affect the value of the respective swap. Therefore, to determine the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps, upfront payments paid should be subtracted from, while upfront payments received should be added to, the value of contracts reported as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Conversely, upfront payments paid should be added to, while upfront payments received should be subtracted from the value of contracts reported as a liability. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps require little or no initial cash investment, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments received by the Fund under the swap agreement will be greater than the payments made by the Fund.
For the year ended September 28, 2012, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $5,626,154 on interest rate swaps which pay a fixed rate.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swaption Transactions
The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.
Swaptions are marked to market daily using primarily portfolio pricing services or quotations from counterparties and brokers. Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Statement of Investments, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations. Written swaptions are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.
The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.
The Fund has purchased swaptions which gives it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate appreciates relative to the preset interest rate.
The Fund has written swaptions which gives it the obligation, if exercised by the purchaser, to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A written swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate depreciates relative to the preset interest rate.
During the year ended September 28, 2012, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $28,560 and $24,572 on purchased and written swaptions, respectively.

7. Restricted Securities
As of September 28, 2012, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.
8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts against OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Funds investment advisor (the Manager), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Funds principal underwriter and distributor (the Distributor), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the Defendant Funds). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against the Manager and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (BLMIS). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of the Manager and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual

8. Pending Litigation Continued
funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the courts order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against the Manager and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (AAArdvark IV), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark Funding Limited (AAArdvark I), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (AAArdvark XS), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
The Manager believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2012, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2011.
None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012 which are not designated as capital gain distributions, may be eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. In early 2012, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates. The amount will be the maximum amount allowed.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $42,098,088 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.
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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the Board), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Funds investment advisory agreement (the Agreement). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Boards conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers key personnel who provide such services. The Managers duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Managers investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Funds investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Funds investment restrictions; and risk management. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Funds operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Funds shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND | 55 |
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Managers advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Krishna Memani and Peter Strzalkowski, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Managers investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Funds service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Funds historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load short U.S. government funds. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its performance universe median for the one- and three-year periods, and also performed competitively for the ten-year period, although it underperformed for the five-year period. The Board considered that the Funds recent performance remained strong as the Fund ranked in the second quintile for the one-year period and in the first quintile for the three-year period. The Board noted that the appointment of a new portfolio manager on April 1, 2009 has improved the Funds one- and three-year performance.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load short U.S. government funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features.
56 | OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND |
The Board noted that the Funds actual and contractual management fees and total expenses were lower than its expense group median and average. After discussions with the Board, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses so that total annual fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.80% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; 1.60% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and Class C shares; 1.10% of the average daily net assets of Class N shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class Y shares.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Managers costs in serving as the Funds investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Funds assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement. In addition, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the restructuring of the Funds investment advisory arrangement so that effective January 1, 2013, (i) OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (OFI Global), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manager, will serve as the investment adviser to the Fund in place of the Manager under a Restated Advisory Agreement (Restated Advisory Agreement), and (ii) OFI Global will enter into a Sub-Advisory Agreement (Sub-Advisory Agreement) with the Manager to provide investment sub-advisory services to the Fund. OFI Global will pay the Manager a percentage of the net investment advisory fee (after all applicable

The Restated Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue until August 31, 2013.
In arriving at its decisions, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Restated Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

HouseholdingDelivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds householding policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the funds prospectus (or, if available, the funds summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

The Funds Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the Respective Boards
1. | The Funds Governance Committee (the Committee) will evaluate potential Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current |
Board members and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection.
2. | The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individuals background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an interested person as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individuals background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. |
3. | The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: |
| the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; |
| a statement concerning whether the person is an interested person as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
| any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and |
| the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. |
The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation.
4. | Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds investment adviser) would be deemed an interested person under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an interested person. |
5. | Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee of a registered investment company. |
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
Based on their evaluation of the registrants disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 9/28/2012, the registrants principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrants disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrants management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in the registrants internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrants second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial reporting.

CODE OF ETHICS
FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND FINANCIAL OFFICERS
OF THE OPPENHEIMER FUNDS
AND OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC.
This Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers (referred to in this document as the Code) has been adopted by each of the investment companies for which OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates (referred to collectively in this document as OFI) acts as investment adviser (individually, a Fund and collectively, the Funds), and by OFI to effectuate compliance with Section 406 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted to implement Section 406.
This Code applies to OFIs and each Funds principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions (Covered Officers). A listing of positions currently within the ambit of Covered Officers is attached as Exhibit A.1
1. | Purpose of the Code |
This Code sets forth standards and procedures that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote:
| honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in other public communications made by the Fund; |
| compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
| the prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code to the Code Administrator identified below; and |
| accountability for adherence to this Code. |
In general, the principles that govern honest and ethical conduct, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, reflect, at the minimum, the following: (1) the duty at all times in performing any responsibilities as a Fund financial officer, controller, accountant or principal executive officer to place the interests of the Funds ahead of personal interests; (2) the fundamental standard that Covered Officers should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; (3) the duty to assure that a Funds financial statements and reports to its shareholders are prepared honestly and accurately in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and accounting standards; and (4) the duty to conduct the Funds business and affairs in an honest and ethical manner. Each Covered Officer should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.
1 | The obligations imposed by this Code on Covered Officers are separate from and in addition to any obligations that may be imposed on such persons as Covered Persons under the Code of Ethics adopted by OFI and the Funds under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. This Code does not incorporate by reference any provisions of the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics and accordingly, any violations or waivers granted under the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics will not be considered a violation or waiver under this Code. |
It is acknowledged that, as a result of the contractual relationship between each Fund and OFI, of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, and subject to OFIs fiduciary duties to each Fund, the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties, be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on OFI and the Funds. It is further acknowledged that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between each Fund and OFI and is consistent with the expectations of the Board of Trustees/Directors of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds.
2. | Prohibitions |
The specific provisions and reporting requirements of this Code are concerned primarily with promoting honest and ethical conduct and avoiding conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships. No Covered Officer may use information concerning the business and affairs of a Fund, including the investment intentions of a Fund, or use his or her ability to influence such investment intentions, for personal gain to himself or herself, his or her family or friends or any other person or in a manner detrimental to the interests of a Fund or its shareholders.
No Covered Officer may use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence the preparation and issuance of financial reports of a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund and its shareholders.
No Covered Officer shall intentionally for any reason take any action or fail to take any action in connection with his or her official acts on behalf of a Fund that causes the Fund to violate applicable laws, rules and regulations.
No Covered Officer shall, in connection with carrying out his or her official duties and responsibilities on behalf of a Fund:
(i) | employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Fund or its shareholders; |
(ii) | intentionally cause a Fund to make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading in its official documents, regulatory filings, financial statements or communications to the public; |
(iii) | engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any Fund or its shareholders; |
(iv) | engage in any manipulative practice with respect to any Fund; |
(v) | use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence any business decision, investment decisions, or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund or its shareholders; |
(vi) | intentionally cause a Fund to fail to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including failure to comply with the requirement of full, fair, accurate, understandable and timely disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; |
(vii) | intentionally mislead or omit to provide material information to the Funds independent auditors or to the Board of Trustees/Directors or the officers of the Fund or its investment adviser in connection with financial reporting matters; |
(viii) | fail to notify the Code Administrator or the Chief Executive Officer of the Fund or its investment adviser promptly if he or she becomes aware of any existing or potential violations of this Code or applicable laws; |
(ix) | retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of this Code; or |
(x) | fails to acknowledge or certify compliance with this Code if requested to do so. |
3. | Reports of Conflicts of Interests |
If a Covered Officer becomes aware of a conflict of interest under this Code or, to the Covered Officers reasonable belief, the appearance of one, he or she must immediately report the matter to the Codes Administrator. If the Code Administrator is involved or believed to be involved in the conflict of interest or appearance of conflict of interest, the Covered Officer shall report the matter directly to the OFIs Chief Executive Officer.
Upon receipt of a report of a conflict, the Code Administrator will take prompt steps to determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If the Code Administrator determines that an actual conflict of interest exists, the Code Administrator will take steps to resolve the conflict. If the Code Administrator determines that the appearance of a conflict exists, the Code Administrator will take appropriate steps to remedy such appearance. If the Code Administrator determines that no conflict or appearance of a conflict exists, the Code Administrator shall meet with the Covered Officer to advise him or her of such finding and of his or her reason for taking no action. In lieu of determining whether a conflict or appearance of conflict exists, the Code Administrator may in his or her discretion refer the matter to the Funds Board of Trustees/Directors.
4. | Waivers |
Any Covered Officer requesting a waiver of any of the provisions of this Code must submit a written request for such waiver to the Code Administrator, setting forth the basis of such request and all necessary facts upon which such request can be evaluated. The Code Administrator shall review such request and make a written determination thereon, which shall be binding. The Code Administrator may in reviewing such request, consult at his discretion with legal counsel to OFI or to the Fund.
In determining whether to waive any of the provisions of this Code, the Code Administrator shall consider whether the proposed waiver:
(i) | is prohibited by this Code; |
(ii) | is consistent with honest and ethical conduct; and |
(iii) | will result in a conflict of interest between the Covered Officers personal and professional obligations to a Fund. |
In lieu of determining whether to grant a waiver, the Code Administrator in his or her discretion may refer the matter to the appropriate Funds Board of Trustees/Directors.
5. | Reporting Requirements |
(a) Each Covered Officer shall, upon becoming subject to this Code, be provided with a copy of this Code and shall affirm in writing that he or she has received, read, understands and shall adhere to this Code.

(e) Each Covered Officer shall notify the Code Administrator promptly if he or she knows of or has a reasonable belief that any violation of this Code has occurred or is likely to occur. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.
(f) Any changes to or waivers of this Code, including implicit waivers as defined in applicable SEC rules, will, to the extent required, be disclosed by the Code Administrator or his or her designee as provided by applicable SEC rules.2

8. | Administration and Construction |
(a) The administration of this Code of Ethics shall be the responsibility of OFIs General Counsel or his designee as the Code Administrator of this Code, acting under the terms of this Code and the oversight of the Trustees/Directors of the Funds.

(c) In carrying out the duties and responsibilities described under this Code, the Code Administrator may consult with legal counsel, who may include legal counsel to the applicable Funds, and such other persons as the Administrator shall deem necessary or desirable. The Code Administrator shall be protected from any liability hereunder or under any applicable law, rule or regulation, for decisions made in good faith based upon his or her reasonable judgment.
2 | An implicit waiver is the failure to take action within a reasonable period of time regarding a material departure from a provision of this Code that has been made known to the General Counsel, the Code Administrator, and an executive officer of the Fund or OFI. |
9. | Required Records |
