WIXTED TITLE TREASURER EX-23 2 ex23-680.txt MULTI-SECTOR AUDIT LETTER The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust: In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust (the Fund) for the year ended October 31, 2004, we considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, which we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2004. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the board of trustees of Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. KPMG LLP Denver, Colorado December 16, 2004 EX-99 3 ex99-680.txt MULTI-SECTOR ROCSOP ROCSOP-Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust 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 October 31, 2004. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications. INCREASE TO INCREASE TO ACCUMULATED ACCUMULATED NET NET INVESTMENT REALIZED LOSS INCOME ON INVESTMENTS - --------------------------------------- $5,938,543 $5,938,543 EX-99.77E LEGAL 4 ex99a-680.txt MULTI-SECTOR LITIGATION Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust LITIGATION Six complaints have been filed as putative derivative and class actions against the Manager, OFS and the Distributor (collectively, "OppenheimerFunds"), as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively, the "Funds") excluding this Fund, and nine Directors/Trustees of certain of the Funds (collectively, the "Directors/Trustees"). The complaints allege that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs, improperly used assets of the Funds in the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of the Funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of Fund assets to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints further allege that by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and at common law. By order dated October 27, 2004, these six actions, and future related actions, were consolidated by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York into a single consolidated proceeding in contemplation of the filing of a superseding consolidated and amended complaint. OppenheimerFunds believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them, the Funds or the Directors/Trustees and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. However, OppenheimerFunds, the Funds and the Directors/Trustees believe that the allegations contained in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
