The interest rate, which is based on specific, or an index of, market interest rates, is subject to change periodically and is the effective rate on March 31, 2008. This instrument has a demand feature which allows, on up to 30 days' notice, the recovery of principal at any time, or at specified intervals not exceeding one year. 2. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $25,505,000 or 33.76% of the Trust's net assets as of March 31, 2008. 3. Put obligation redeemable at full principal value on the date reported. 4. Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of March 31, 2008 was $1,000,000, which represents 1.32% of the Trust's net assets. See accompanying Notes. 5. When-issued security or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after March 31, 2008. See accompanying Notes. NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS SECURITIES VALUATION. The net asset value of shares of the Trust is normally determined twice each day, at Noon Eastern time and at 4:00 P.M. Eastern time on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for trading. Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. SECURITIES ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED DELIVERY BASIS. The Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust's net asset value to the extent the Trust executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Trust engages in when-issued or delayed 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 Trust to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Trust maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Trust may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase. As of March 31, 2008, the Trust had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows: 3 | CENTENNIAL NEW YORK TAX EXEMPT TRUST Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS March 31, 2008 / Unaudited --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONCENTRATION RISK. There are certain risks arising from geographic concentration in any state. Certain economic, regulatory or political developments occurring in the state may impair the ability of certain issuers of municipal securities to pay principal and interest on their obligations. ILLIQUID SECURITIES As of March 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Trust will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of March 31, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period. 4 | CENTENNIAL NEW YORK TAX EXEMPT TRUST ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (a) Based on their evaluation of the registrant's 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 03/31/2008, the registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant's 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 the registrant's 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. (b) There have been no significant changes in the registrant's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
