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 October 31, 2007. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

(FKA OPPENHEIMER QUEST CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC.) 10-31-07 Exhibit 77D1 OPPENHEIMER QUEST CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC. Supplement dated July 3, 2007 to the Prospectus dated February 28, 2007 This supplement amends the Prospectus of Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") dated February 28, 2007 and replaces the Prospectus supplement dated February 28, 2007. The Prospectus is amended as follows: 1. The following paragraph is added to the Prospectus: At a meeting of held on June 29, 2007, the shareholders of the Fund approved a change of the Fund's investment objective to "the Fund seeks total return." When this change is implemented on August 1, 2007, it will enable the Fund to shift to an equity income strategy with dividends becoming an important investment criterion. 2. Effective July 16th, the section "How the Fund Is Managed - The Manager - Portfolio Manager," beginning on page 13, is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: PORTFOLIO MANAGER. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Michael Levine who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Levine has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since July 16, 2007 and a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Manager since June 1998. He is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. 3. Effective July 16th, the section "How the Fund Is Managed - The Sub-Adviser," beginning on page 14, and the section "How the Fund Is Managed - Pending Litigation," beginning on page 15 are deleted in their entirety. 4. Effective July 16th, the section "About the Fund's Investments-Other Investment Strategies-Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments" on page 13 is deleted in its entirely and replaced by the following: INVESTMENTS IN OPPENHEIMER INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUND. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund rather than purchasing individual short-term investments to try to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Manager cannot predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE AND INTERIM INVESTMENTS. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments described above or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective. 5. Effective August 1st, the section "How the Fund Is Managed," beginning on page 13, is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: HOW THE FUND IS MANAGED THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Fund's Board of Directors, under an investment advisory agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business. The Manager has been an investment adviser since 1960. The Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $245 billion in assets as of March 31, 2007, including other Oppenheimer funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008. ADVISORY FEES. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee, calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund, at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows. Effective August 1, 2007 the advisory fee rate is: 0.70% of the first $400 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.68% of the next $400 million, 0.65% of the next $400 million, 0.60% of the next $400 million, 0.55% of the next $400 million, and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of $2 billion. The Fund's advisory fee for the period ended October 31, 2006, based on the Fund's former advisory fee schedule, was 0.84% of average annual net assets. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Directors' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Semi-Annual Report for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007. PORTFOLIO MANAGER. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Michael Levine who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Levine has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since July 16, 2007 and a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Manager since June 1998. He is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. 6. As of August 1, 2007, the Fund will change its name to "Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund, Inc." 7. As of March 31, 2008, the Fund will make dividend payments quarterly rather than annually. July 3, 2007 PS0835.024 EX-99.77E LEGAL 4 ex77e-835.txt OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND, INC. OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND, INC. Period Ending 10-31-07 Exhibit 77 E A complaint was filed as a putative class action against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("OFI"), OppenheimerFunds Services ("OFS") and OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. ("OFDI") (and other defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005, and was amended on March 4, 2005. The complaint alleged, among other things, that OFI charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs of certain Oppenheimer funds, and that by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the funds breached their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. Seven of the eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of the Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former Directors, Trustees and officers of the funds, and OFDI, as defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006, in response to motions to dismiss the suit that had been filed by the defendants. The remaining count against OFI and OFS was dismissed with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. On May 11, 2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the March 10 and April 5 decisions with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On date July 26, 2006, this appeal was stayed by Stipulation of the parties, which provided that the appeal would be terminated by March 30, 2007 unless plaintiffs filed a written notice to reactivate it with the of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. According to Court records, no such notice of reinstatement was filed by that date. Consequently, the case has been terminated, and the March 10, 2006 and April 5, 2006 Orders of the District Court dismissing all claims against defendants are now final and are not be subject to further appeals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund, Inc. In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund, Inc., formerly known as Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc., (the "Fund") as of and for the year ended October 31, 2007, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of October 31, 2007. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
