It invests primarily in high-yield, high-risk, fixed-income securities both in the U.S. and abroad, including unrated securities and "junk" bonds that is securities in the lower rating categories. These securities may be considered to be speculative. Investing in foreign securities entails additional expenses and risks, including foreign-currency fluctuations, while investing in junk bonds carries a greater risk of default. ================================================================================ Narrative by David Negri and Tom Reedy, Co-Portfolio Managers During the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2000, Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA provided a cumulative total return of -0.62%(1) in a very challenging investment environment. First, rising interest rates eroded the prices of most bond market sectors, especially the riskier, higher income sectors such as high-yield bonds. Second, high-yield bonds were adversely affected by their own, unique influences, including a higher-than-usual default rate. Finally, because high-yield bonds respond to changes in their issuers' stock prices, the high-yield market was generally hurt by the decline of the Nasdaq stock market during March and April, 2000. For income-oriented investors who can tolerate short-term price volatility, however, yields benefited from bonds' drop in prices, which was due to the higher interest rates. What's more, the differences in yield between high-yield bonds and U.S. Treasury securities recently reached very wide levels compared to historical norms. This is the case because bonds rated below "investment grade" are attempting to attract investors by paying unusually high rates of interest relative to the safest bonds available. Why do higher interest rates affect returns from high-yield bonds? This is because higher interest rates tend to increase borrowing costs for companies that finance their operations and growth though the bond market. Investors tend to become concerned that higher interest rates might reduce earnings for these companies. In the resulting environment, there is less demand for bonds. Of course, 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 several times during this reporting period. In addition, the high-yield bond market has been adversely affected by more stringent loan requirements from many lenders, making credit scarce in both the banking system and public markets. This development is bad for companies that need to borrow in order to refinance maturing debt. In addition, many high-yield bond issuers are in high-growth sectors of the economy--such as telecommunications, technology and media--that need ongoing access to credit in order to build the physical facilities required for their business models. As a result, these companies are highly vulnerable to any market forces that threaten to curtail their access to capital. In this difficult environment, we have focused the portfolio primarily on the market's high-growth sectors, including telecommunications, technology and media companies. Within these areas, we've emphasized companies that have relatively strong balance sheets. For example, many cellular communications companies are at a stage in their life cycles where they're still growing, but may have completed the bulk of their infrastructure investments. On the other hand, some land-line telecommunications companies that are betting on new growth in the Internet are in a much earlier stage of development, and they tend not to have fully funded business plans. Our strategy of targeting companies with strong balance sheets represents a relatively conservative shift within an aggressive area of the market.(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 portfolio is subject to change. 2 Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds--Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA ================================================================================ In addition, we have generally avoided healthcare companies, especially long-term care facilities such as nursing homes. Some of the companies in this industry group have defaulted on their high-yield debt because of financial problems caused by reduced Medicare reimbursements. We have also had less exposure than the overall market to the basic manufacturing sector, such as paper, chemical and steel companies. This relatively light position helped the Fund's performance last year, when these companies' global operations were feeling pressure generated by economic weakness in overseas markets. By the same token, when these manufacturers' bond prices rebounded later in the reporting period, the Fund's returns were hurt by the investments we did not own. While we have been frustrated by the extent to which the high-yield bond market has 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 recovery to take place until the success of the Federal Reserve Board's inflation-fighting strategy becomes clearer. In the meantime, high-yield bonds have been providing attractive levels of income, and, in our opinion, their prices are reflecting 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.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 22 Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies Oppenheimer High Income 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 investment objective is to seek a high level of current income from investment in high-yield fixed income securities. 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). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Structured Notes. The Fund invests in foreign currency-linked structured notes whose market value and redemption price are linked to foreign currency exchange rates. The structured notes are leveraged, which increases the notes' volatility relative to the principal of the security. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying financial statements. As of June 30, 2000, the market value of these securities comprised 2.86% of the Fund's net assets and resulted in realized and unrealized losses in the current period of $1,474,015. The Fund also hedges a portion of the foreign currency exposure generated by these securities, as discussed in Note 5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends beyond six months and possibly as long as two years or more beyond 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 Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of June 30, 2000, the Fund had entered into outstanding net when-issued or forward commitments of $380,775. In connection with its ability to purchase securities on a when-issued, the Fund may enter into mortgage dollar-rolls in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Fund records each dollar-roll as a sale and a new purchase transaction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $2,291,377, representing 0.69% of the Fund's net assets, were in default. Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA 23 Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) ================================================================================ 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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 $8,335,000, which expires between 2006 and 2007. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 24 Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) ================================================================================ 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:

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 0.74%, 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:

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. ================================================================================ 7. Illiquid or Restricted Securities As of June 30, 2000, 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 June 30, 2000 was $30,883,029, which represents 9.28% of the Fund's net assets, of which $4,258,850 is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:
