These may include short-term government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs), bankers' acceptances and commercial paper. ================================================================================ Narrative by Carol E. Wolf, Co-portfolio Manager During the fiscal year that ended December 31, 1999, Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA produced an annualized yield of 4.85% without compounding, and an annualized yield including the effects of compounding, of 4.97%. On December 31, 1999, the Fund's seven-day annualized yields, with and without compounding, were 5.64% and 5.49%, respectively.(1) These returns were substantially higher than the yields reported six months ago, primarily because of higher short-term interest rates during the reporting period. When 1999 began, the world's financial markets were just beginning to recover from the dislocations caused in 1998 by the spread of the global credit and currency crisis in emerging markets and the failure of a large, highly leveraged U.S. hedge fund. As a response to these problems, and to limit their adverse impact on the world's economies, many nations' central banks--including the Federal Reserve Board in the United States--had cut short-term interest rates in an attempt to stimulate economic growth. The central banks' strategies appear to have been successful, because evidence began to emerge soon after 1999 started that the worst of the economic malaise was over for Japan, Asia and Latin America, and that the U.S. economy continued to grow strongly. In this environment, investors grew concerned that unsustainable economic growth might rekindle long-dormant inflationary pressures, especially in the United States where unemployment reached historical lows and consumers appeared to be spending more than they were earning. In order to forestall a potential reacceleration of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board indicated in the second quarter that it was considering an increase in short-term interest rates. This potential rate hike was quickly reflected in the fixed income markets in the form of higher yields for both money market securities and longer term bonds. Indeed, the Federal Reserve Board subsequently raised interest rates three times during the summer and fall of 1999, effectively offsetting all of the previous year's rate cuts. During the second half of the reporting period, the money markets were also affected by Y2K-related concerns. Although the investment community's consensus opinion appeared to be that the U.S. financial system was prepared for the advent of the year 2000, many issuers decided to play it safe by issuing relatively longer term money market securities over the summer and early fall of 1999. These securities generally featured maturity dates in January and February of 2000, reducing the need for issuers to return to the marketplace close to year-end 1999. However, because so many issuers came to market at the same time, they were compelled to increase their securities' yields in order to attract investor interest. Money market fund shareholders generally benefited from these higher yields. Under these market conditions, we focused primarily on enhancing the Fund's yield in a way that was consistent with liquidity and capital preservation. We generally found the most attractive yields in high-quality, asset-backed commercial paper, which comprised 22.3% of the portfolio as of December 31.(2) The asset-backed commercial paper market has grown tremendously over the past several years, but we have invested only in highly liquid securities from seasoned issuers who have passed our rigorous credit analysis. We also found attractive income opportunities in commercial paper issued by financial companies, such as high-quality insurers and banks. On the other hand, we found few opportunities in U.S. Treasury bills, which were in relatively short supply because of the federal budget surplus. Thank you for your continued confidence and participation in Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA. We look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals in 2000 and beyond. An investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although these funds may seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds. 1. Compounded yields assume reinvestment of dividends, and do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Past performance is not indicative of future results. 2. Based on total market value of net assets. 2 Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of Investments December 31, 1999 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA 9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (the Trust), a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek the maximum current income from investment in money market securities consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 to shareholders. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. 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. 10 Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 2.

Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA 11 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Independent Auditors' Report - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Oppeneheimer Money Fund/VA (which is a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds) as of December 31, 1999, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the financial highlights for the period January 1, 1995, to December 31, 1999. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA as of December 31, 1999, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
