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 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA generated an average annual total return of -1.52% for the one-year period that ended December 31, 1999.(1) Strong performance from corporate bonds during the first half of the year was largely offset by weak market conditions during the second half. Our management approach has been to focus primarily on corporate securities and other higher yielding bonds in an investment environment characterized by robust economic growth, rising interest rates and Y2K-related concerns. When the reporting period began, evidence began to emerge that 1998's global financial crisis was easing, helping to resolve investors' fears that U.S. economic growth might slow in response to weakness overseas. In fact, it wasn't long before investors became concerned that the opposite was true: by the second quarter of 1999, they began to worry that the U.S. economy was growing faster than most analysts expected, potentially reigniting inflationary pressures. In order to forestall a potential reacceleration of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates three times during the summer and fall. In the U.S. bond market, higher yielding securities benefited from the resolution of the global financial crisis.(2) The flow of money back into corporate and mortgage-related securities during the first four months of the year helped support a rally in these bonds' prices, while prices of U.S. Treasury securities declined. Beginning in May, however, prices of higher yielding bonds once again began to fall because of Y2K-related concerns. Many issuers of corporate bonds decided to "play it safe" by issuing bonds in the spring that they otherwise would have issued closer to year-end. This sudden flood of supply caused corporate bond prices to weaken, and they generally remained low through the end of the year amid decreased investor demand. In this environment, we took advantage of the bond market's early weakness to purchase corporate bonds that we believed had been more severely punished by the global financial crisis than circumstances warranted. As it turned out, the bond market's recovery from last year's financial crises largely offset the price erosion caused by higher interest rates over the first half of the year. The Fund also benefited throughout the year from the relatively high yields these securities provided. When the bond market weakened during the period of heavy issuance in the spring and early summer, we maintained our emphasis on corporate securities and other higher yielding bonds. Although this stance contributed to higher-than-normal volatility within the Fund during the second half of the reporting period, we were once again able to lock in prevailing high yields. Within the investment-grade corporate bond sector of the market, we generally emphasized longer maturity securities, including 30-year bonds. We even purchased a few 100-year bonds from large, well known companies because of their higher yields. During the second half of the reporting period, after Y2K concerns caused corporate bond prices to fall, we found particularly attractive values in fixed income securities issued by insurance companies. By year-end, these bonds had appreciated to fair value, in our opinion. In our view, the Fund's broadly diversified portfolio positions us well for the start of the year 2000, when we expect Y2K fears to dissipate. Taking advantage of such opportunities is what makes Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA an important part of The Right Way to Invest. 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 would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. 2. Investing in lower rated high yield domestic corporate bonds (commonly know as "junk bonds") carries a greater risk of default. 2 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds--Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ Management's Discussion of Performance. During the Fund's fiscal year that ended December 31, 1999, the performance of Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA was strongly influenced by adverse economic and market conditions, including inflation fears, rising interest rates and Y2K-related concerns. However, the deleterious effects of these influences were partly offset by the management team's focus on corporate bonds, including high yield bonds. In the portfolio managers' opinion, many corporate bonds represented attractive values early in the year, and the Fund subsequently benefited from this market sector's rally. Later in the year, when corporate bond issuance patterns were disrupted by Y2K-related concerns, corporate bonds' relatively high yields helped cushion the effects on the Fund of falling prices. The Fund's portfolio holdings, allocations and investment style are subject to change. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comparing the Fund's Performance to the Market. The graph that follows shows the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund held until December 31, 1999. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graph assumes that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of publicly-issued non-convertible investment grade corporate debt of U.S. issuers, widely recognized as a measure of the U.S. fixed rate corporate bond market. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in the graph that follows show the effect of taxes. The Fund's performance reflects the effects of the Fund's business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund's performance, it must be noted that the Fund's investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

1. Principal amount is reported in U.S. Dollars, except for those denoted in the following currencies: CAD--Canadian Dollar IDR--Indonesian Rupiah 2. 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. 3. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security. 4. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements. 5. 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 $93,111,930 or 15.49% of the Fund's net assets as of December 31, 1999. 6. 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.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 16 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer Bond 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 a high level of current income. 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 at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Such securities which cannot be valued by an approved portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current market value, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on the closing prices of the foreign currency contract rates in the London foreign exchange markets on a daily basis as provided by a reliable bank or dealer. Options are valued based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the value is based upon the last sale price on the prior trading date if it is within the spread between the closing bid and asked prices. If the last sale price is outside the spread, the closing bid is used. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 December 31, 1999, securities with an aggregate market value of $44,856, representing 0.01% 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 ================================================================================ 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 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 distributions made during the 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 dividend 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. The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 1999, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $17,573, a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $274,473, and a decrease in accumulated net realized loss on investments of $292,046. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 amortized 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:
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Year Ended December 31, 1998 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Shares Amount Shares Amount - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sold 10,494,053 $ 123,504,590 24,245,723 $ 293,126,941 Dividends and/or distributions reinvested 2,820,394 32,970,408 1,463,254 17,163,972 Redeemed (14,357,807) (168,195,077) (16,150,244) (195,000,147) ----------- ------------- ----------- ------------- Net increase (decrease) (1,043,360) $ (11,720,079) 9,558,733 $ 115,290,766 =========== ============= =========== =============
18 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA ================================================================================ 3. Unrealized Gains and Losses on Securities As of December 31, 1999, net unrealized depreciation on securities and options written of $31,004,033 was composed of gross appreciation of $6,069,024, and gross depreciation of $37,073,057. ================================================================================ 4. Management 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 year ended December 31, 1999, was 0.72% of average annual net assets. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 December 31, 1999, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as follows:
Expiration Contract Valuation as of Unrealized Contract Description Date Amounts(000s) December 31, 1999 Depreciation - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contracts to Sell - ----------------- Canadian Dollar (CAD) 6/1/00 3,000 CAD $2,080,272 $36,676 =======
Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA 19 ================================================================================ 6. Futures Contracts The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in 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 the resulting negative effect on the value of fixed rate 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 may recognize 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 December 31, 1999, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:
Unrealized Expiration Number of Valuation as of Appreciation Contract Description Date Contracts December 31, 1999 (Depreciation) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contracts to Purchase - --------------------- U.S. Treasury Bonds, 30 yr. 3/22/00 67 $ 6,092,813 $ (17,781) U.S. Treasury Nts., 5 yr. 3/22/00 639 62,631,984 (167,970) U.S. Treasury Nts., 10 yr. 3/22/00 238 22,814,531 (351,422) --------- (537,173) --------- Contracts to Sell - ----------------- Federal Funds Interest Rate 1/31/00 322 126,871,441 (73,798) U.S. Treasury Bonds, 30 yr. 3/22/00 130 11,821,875 60,938 U.S. Treasury Nts., 5 yr. 3/22/00 123 12,055,922 21,453 --------- 8,593 --------- $(528,580) =========
20 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA ================================================================================ 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. 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 year ended December 31, 1999, was as follows:
Put Options ------------------------------ Number of Amount of Options Premiums - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding as of December 31, 1998 -- $ -- Options written 1,170 969,017 Options closed or expired (845) (640,564) ----- --------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 325 $ 328,453 ===== =========
================================================================================ 8. Illiquid or Restricted Securities As of December 31, 1999, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also 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 or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of December 31, 1999, was $44,286,050, which represents 7.37% of the Fund's net assets. Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA 21 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Independent Auditors' Report - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Oppenheimer Bond 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 Bond 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. Deloitte & Touche LLP Denver, Colorado January 24, 2000 22 Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ In early 2000 shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 1999. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service. Dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 3.72% to arrive at the net amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.
