Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and a 5.75% maximum applicable sales charge except where without sales charge is indicated. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individuals investment. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677).

2 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
The Funds Class A shares (without sales charge) returned 11.37% during the reporting period, underperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index (the Index), which returned 11.69%. On a relative basis, the Funds underperformance versus the Index stemmed primarily from stock selection in the telecommunication services and health care sectors. An underweight position and stock selection in the industrials sector also detracted from performance. The Fund outperformed the Index in the financials, energy and utilities sectors primarily due to favorable stock selection.

* Shows performance since inception.
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. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. 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 5.75%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class I, Class R and 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. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.
The Funds performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. 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 investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but
7 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Funds performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Funds performance reflects the effects of the Funds business and operating expenses.
The Funds investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.
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.
Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

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 and/or 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 April 30, 2017.
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 6 Months Ended April 30, 2017 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 Funds 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). 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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended April 30, 2017 are as follows:
Class | Expense Ratios | |||
Class A |
1.03% | |||
Class B |

Class C |

Class I |
0.61 | |||
Class R |

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2017 Unaudited
1. Organization
Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended. The Funds investment objective is to seek total return. The Funds investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (OFI Global or the Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI or the Sub-Adviser). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R 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 are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds are allowed. As of July 1, 2014, Class N shares were renamed Class R shares. Class N shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on July 1, 2014, continue to be subject to a CDSC after the shares were renamed. Purchases of Class R shares occurring on or after July 1, 2014, are not subject to a CDSC upon redemption. 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 R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a CDSC. Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class I and 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 I and 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 R shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and 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 followed in the Funds preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of
35 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.
For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Funds books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
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.
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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Funds fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Funds distributions made to shareholders prior to the Funds fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
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 value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Funds investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are
36 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
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 overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, based on the negative rolling average balance at an average Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. 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.
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 to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Funds financial statements.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. The Fund had straddle losses of $38,793,460 which were deferred. Details of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

No expiration | 294,688,853 | |||
|
|
|||
Total | $ | 336,678,403 | ||
|
|
All of these losses are subject to Sec. 382 loss limitation rules resulting from merger activity. These limitations generally reduce the utilization of these losses to a maximum of $ 21,332,975 per year and have an expiration date of October 31, 2017.
At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $41,989,550 expiring by 2017 and $126,507,856, which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $ 206,974,457 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.
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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.
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 at period end 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.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of
38 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
1940 (final rules) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Funds financial statements.
3. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.
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.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Funds assets are valued.
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, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations,
39 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
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. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available 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. Those standardized fair valuation 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.
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 may be 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 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs 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 3-significant 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 Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are measured
40 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
using net asset value and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

4. Investments and Risks
Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (Affiliated Funds). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Funds investments in Affiliated Funds are

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
4. Investments and Risks (Continued)
included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/ or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds investment in the Affiliated Funds.
Each of the Affiliated Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Funds investments and therefore the value of the Funds shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.
Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (IGMMF) which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ), or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnerships operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLPs creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.
Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each notes market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.
Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the
42 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
4. Investments and Risks (Continued)
Funds portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular companys securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the companys sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.
5. Market Risk Factors
The Funds investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various 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 of debt to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield debt securities are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality securities.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
6. Use of Derivatives
The Funds investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance 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. These instruments 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. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.
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 due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. 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. 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. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Funds initial investment.
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.
The Funds actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
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, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). 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 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
44 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
Index/Security Options. The Fund may purchase or write call and put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase or decrease exposure to equity risk. A purchased call or written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price. A purchased put or written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $666,399 on purchased put options.
At period end, the Fund had no purchased options outstanding.
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 collateral 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 market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. 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.
During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $4,583,635 and $2,767,987 on written call options and written put options, respectively.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or
45 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
The Funds risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.
With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the brokers, futures commission merchants or clearinghouses customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Funds behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Funds assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.
Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

The Funds effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.57% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.
Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the Transfer Agent) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the Sub-Transfer Agent), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.
Trustees Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the Plan) for the Funds Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the Freeze Date) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the reporting period, the Funds projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
The Funds Board of Trustees (Board) 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.
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.
Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund pays a service fee to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Under the Plan, the Fund may also pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor. However, the Funds Board has currently set the rate at zero. 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 R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the Plans) for Class B, Class C and Class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. 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 R shares daily net assets. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Funds Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and CDSC do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds investment in IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $6,668 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Funds prospectus, unless approved by the Board.
10. Borrowings and Other Financing
Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the Facility) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity.

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.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited
For any distribution that took place over the Funds reporting period, the table below details, on a per-share basis, the percentage of the Funds total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), the percentages attributed to each category (net income, net profit from sale and other capital sources) are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the REITs and MLPs in which the fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Funds total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.
For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the Detailed tab; where Dividends are shown, the Funds latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.
