Secondarily, the Fund seeks capital growth when this is consistent with its primary objective of high income. ================================================================================ Narrative by David Negri and John Kowalik, Co-Portfolio Managers During the six-month period that ended June 30, 2000, Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA provided an annualized total return of 1.95%(1) in a very challenging investment environment. First, rising interest rates eroded the prices of most bond-market sectors, especially the higher quality sectors such as corporate bonds. Second, because many high yield corporate bonds respond to changes in their issuers' stock prices, this sector of the bond market was generally hurt by the decline of the Nasdaq stock market during March and April, 2000. However, for income-oriented investors who can tolerate short-term price volatility, yields benefited from the drop in prices, which was due to higher interest rates. What's more, the differences in yield between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities recently reached their widest levels in more than 15 years. This is the case because corporations are attempting to attract investors, and need to pay relatively higher rates of interest in order to do so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do higher interest rates affect returns from corporate bonds? Because higher interest rates tend to increase borrowing costs for companies that finance their operations and growth through the bond market, investors tend to become concerned that higher interest rates might reduce earnings for these companies. The result is a lower demand for bonds. Interest rates have been rising because of concerns that the U.S. economy may be growing too quickly, potentially re-igniting long-dormant inflationary pressures. To ease these pressures, the Federal Reserve Board has raised key short-term interest rates three more times during the six-month reporting period. Including the three rate hikes implemented before the reporting period began, the Federal Reserve Board has raised interest rates by a total of 1.75 percentage points. In addition, corporate bond issuers have been adversely affected by more stringent loan requirements from many lenders, which has made credit scarce in both the banking system and public markets. This development is especially bad for companies that need to borrow in order to refinance maturing debt. Because the Fund's investment objective emphasizes current income, we have continued to manage the Fund in a way that is designed to achieve high yield. Part of that investment approach entails investing in higher- yielding, long maturity corporate bonds. As a result, as interest rates continued to rise early in the period, the Fund's duration--a measure of the Fund's sensitivity to changing interest rates--was at a relatively high level. To lower the Fund's duration, we proceeded to reduce our holdings of longer-term corporate bonds, and redeployed those assets to the intermediate-term sector of the corporate-bond market. The advantage was that intermediate-term bonds were providing virtually the same yield of longer-term bonds, with less interest-rate risk. In addition, we focused our corporate-bond holdings primarily among highly liquid names, which could be quickly turned into cash to take advantage of any better income opportunities that might arise.(2) Despite reducing the Fund's duration in February and April, this posture hurt the Fund's price performance, offsetting any yield advantage it may have provided. We ended the reporting period with a duration that was modestly lower than our peer group average (in general, the lower a portfolio's duration, less it is adversely affected by rising interest rates.(2) 1. Includes changes in net asset value per share and does not include the charges associated with the separate account products which offer this Fund. Such performance is not annualized and would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. 2. The Fund's duration and portfolio are subject to change. 2 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds--Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA ================================================================================ The Fund also invested in U.S. Treasury securities during the reporting period, increasing our exposure to these securities, and thus our ability to take advantage of unusual conditions in that market sector. More specifically, longer-term U.S. Treasury securities have rallied over the past six months because of unique supply-and-demand influences. Because U.S. Treasuries are generally considered the most creditworthy investments in the world, demand for them by U.S. and international investors has historically remained high. However, after the federal government used a portion of the budget surplus to buy back some seasoned, long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, the available supply has dwindled. As a result, for most of the six-month period, longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds provided lower yields--and higher prices--than comparable short-term securities. The Fund's greater exposure to longer-term U.S. Treasuries enabled us to participate in some of those price gains. While we have been frustrated by the extent to which the higher yielding sectors of the bond market have been out of favor, we are encouraged that historically wide spreads may attract interest from investors who are no longer receiving spectacular results in the stock market. Nonetheless, the economic environment remains uncertain, and we do not expect any lasting market recovery to take place until the success of the Federal Reserve Board's inflation-fighting strategy becomes more evident. In the meantime, corporate bonds have been providing attractive levels of income; in our opinion, their prices currently reflect a worst-case economic scenario. Having the patience and discipline to take advantage of temporary market weaknesses is an important part of what makes OppenheimerFunds The Right Way to Invest.

Principal amount is reported in U.S. Dollars, except for those denoted in the following currencies: CAD -- Canadian Dollar IDR -- Indonesian Rupiah 1. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. 2. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements. 3. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security. 4. 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 $77,012,921 or 14.06% of the Fund's net assets as of June 30, 2000. 5. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. 6. For zero coupon bonds, the interest rate shown is the effective yield on the date of purchase. 7. A sufficient amount of securities has been designated to cover outstanding foreign currency contracts. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements. 8. Non-income-producing security. 9. Issuer is in default. 10. Securities with an aggregate market value of $1,492,886 are held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures sales contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements. 11. Denotes a step bond: a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable interest rate at a designated future date.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 16 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (the Trust), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's main investment objective is to seek a high level of current income. The Trust's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Valuation. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high yield securities, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk, greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than lower yielding, higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of June 30, 2000, securities with an aggregate market value of $153,420, representing 0.03% of the Fund's net assets, were in default. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repurchase Agreements. The Fund requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by loss carryovers to shareholders. As of December 31, 1999, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $14,340,000, which expires in 2007. Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA 17 Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classification of Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of paydown gains and losses and the recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its 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 realized gain was recorded by the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expense Offset Arrangements. Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees for earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other. Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discount on securities purchased is accreted over the life of the respective securities, in accordance with federal income tax requirements. Realized gains and losses on investments and options written and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Dividends-in-kind are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, at the current market value of the underlying security. Interest on payment-in-kind debt instruments is accrued as income at the coupon rate and a market adjustment is made periodically. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ================================================================================ 2. Shares of Beneficial Interest The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Year Ended December 31, 1999 -------------------------------- ------------------------------- Shares Amount Shares Amount --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sold 3,962,034 $ 43,830,674 10,494,053 $ 123,504,590 Dividends and/or distributions reinvested 4,250,487 45,437,709 2,820,394 32,970,408 Redeemed (9,707,547) (107,685,343) (14,357,807) (168,195,077) ---------- ------------- ----------- ------------- Net decrease (1,495,026) $ (18,416,960) (1,043,360) $ (11,720,079) ========== ============= =========== =============
================================================================================ 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations, for the six months ended June 30, 2000, were $933,220,826 and $978,116,197, respectively. 18 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) ================================================================================ 4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Management Fees. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Trust. The annual fees are 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets over $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was an annualized rate of 0.72%, before any waiver by the Manager. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, is the transfer agent for the Fund and is responsible for maintaining the shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records for the Fund. OFS provides these services for cost. ================================================================================ 5. Foreign Currency Contracts A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided by a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign currency transactions. Realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations. Securities denominated in foreign currency to cover net exposure on outstanding foreign currency contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. As of June 30, 2000, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as follows:
Expiration Contract Valuation as of Unrealized Contract Description Date Amount(000s) June 30, 2000 Depreciation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contracts to Sell Canadian Dollar (CAD) 11/1/01 3,000 CAD $2,031,265 $24,576 =======
Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA 19 Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) ================================================================================ 6. Futures Contracts A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly-based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities "interest rate futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in interest rates as it may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. As of June 30, 2000, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:
Unrealized Expiration Number of Valuation as of Appreciation Contract Description Date Contracts June 30, 2000 (Depreciation) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contracts to Purchase U.S. Treasury Bonds 9/20/00 130 $12,654,688 $ 8,125 U.S. Treasury Nts., 10 yr. 9/20/00 124 12,212,063 87,188 --------- 95,313 --------- Contracts to Sell U.S. Treasury Nts., 5 yr. 9/20/00 321 31,784,016 (294,218) --------- $(198,905) =========
20 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) ================================================================================ 7. Option Activity The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities. The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Operations. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. 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 of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Written option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was as follows:
Put Options --------------------------------- Number of Amount of Options Premiums ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 325 $ 328,453 Options written 750 457,109 Options exercised (1,075) (785,562) ------ --------- Options outstanding as of June 30, 2000 -- $ -- ====== =========
================================================================================ 8. Illiquid Securities As of June 30, 2000, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. The aggregate value of illiquid securities subject to this limitation as of June 30, 2000, was $50,269,133, which represents 9.18% of the Fund's net assets. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limit.
