WIXTED TITLE TREASURER EX-99.77H CHNG CNTRL 2 ex99-365_77.txt ROCHESTER FUND MUNICIPALS Sub-Item 77L. Prior to this filing of the registrant's Form N-SAR with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the registrant's management became aware that other investment companies (not affiliated with the registrant) that invested in certain municipal securities referred to as "inverse floaters" and that had transferred certain municipal bonds to special purpose trusts for the purpose of investing in such inverse floaters, accounting for such transfers as "sales" in accordance with common practice in the mutual fund industry, had restated their financial statements to apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," ("FAS 140") to the transfers of such municipal bonds in connection with their investments in inverse floaters, in response to comments by their independent public accountants about the sale accounting treatment that had previously been applied by such investment companies to such transfers. Prior to December 31, 2006, the registrant's fiscal year end, the registrant had likewise accounted for such transfers as "sales." Registrant's management notes that other investment companies that invested in similar securities over the same time periods had been accounting for such transfers in a similar manner as the registrant. After a review of this treatment with the registrant's independent public accountants, the registrant applied FAS 140 to such transfers in its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. EX-23 3 ex23-365.txt ROCHESTER FUND MUNICIPALS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Shareholders and Board of Trustees Rochester Fund Municipals: In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Rochester Fund Municipals (the Fund) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered its internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for 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. The 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such internal control includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a 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 control deficiency 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 significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. 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. 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 significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We noted the following control deficiency that we determined to be a material weakness, as defined above, in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. The Fund's policies and procedures related to the review and analysis of the relevant terms and conditions of certain transfers of securities were not effective in appropriately determining whether the transfers qualified for sale accounting under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES. As a result of this material weakness, the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2005, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended were restated in order to appropriately account for such transfers of securities as secured borrowings and report the related interest income and expense. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the board of trustees of Rochester Fund Municipals 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 February 8, 2007 EX-99.77E LEGAL 4 ex99-365.txt ROCHESTER FUND MUNICIPALS LITIGATION A consolidated amended complaint was filed as a putative class action against the Manager and the Transfer Agent and other defendants (including 51 of the Oppenheimer funds including the Fund) 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 the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs, 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. In response to the defendants' motions to dismiss the suit, 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 the Distributor, as defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006, and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was dismissed with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. The plaintiffs filed an appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006. The Manager believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and that there are substantial grounds to sustain the district court's rulings. The Manager also believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it, the funds, the Directors/Trustees or the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the district court, and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
