2 OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND/VA
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS March 31, 2019 Unaudited
1. Organization
Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA (the Fund), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended. The Funds investment objective
is to seek capital appreciation. The Funds investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (OFI Global or the Manager), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds Inc. (OFI or the Sub-Adviser). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the
Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.
2. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange" or
"NYSE") is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the
shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.
The Funds Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Funds securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation
determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair
valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committees fair valuation determinations are subject to
review, approval and ratification by the Funds Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on
the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Funds assets
are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no
sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last
published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign
exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Funds assets
are valued.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment companys net asset value per share.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of
the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously
approved by the Valuation Committee and the Funds Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Managers Valuation Committee. The Valuation
Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when
determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale
price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities
index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When
possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency
rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those
securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.
Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation.
Various data inputs may be used in determining the value of each of the Funds investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are
categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets
and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Managers own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability).
The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

value at measurement date.
For the reporting period, there were no transfers between levels.
3. Investments and Risks
Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager or an affiliate of the
Manager (Affiliated Funds).Affiliated Funds are management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. Unless otherwise
stated, the Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When
applicable, the Fund's investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net
asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds expenses, including their management
fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds
investment in the Affiliated Funds.
Each of the Affiliated Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Funds investments and
therefore the value of the Funds shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have
greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.
Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity
or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government
Money Market Fund ("IGMMF"), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund
may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.
Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Funds portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity
markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently
from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the
equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price
of a particular companys securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the
company, general unfavorable performance of the companys sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its
industry.
4. Market Risk Factors
The Funds investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in
the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil,
metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of debt to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general,
lower-grade, higher-yield debt securities are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality securities.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a
foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the
U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between
price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and
4 OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND/VA
4. Market Risk Factors (Continued)
a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields,
are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instruments price over
a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instruments price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk,
while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
5. Pending Acquisition
On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager, announced
that it has entered into an agreement whereby Invesco Ltd. (Invesco), a global investment management company, will acquire the Sub-Adviser
(the Transaction). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019, the Funds Board unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the Agreement), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding, newly formed fund (the
Acquiring Fund) in the Invesco family of funds (the Reorganization) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value to
the value of the shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although the Acquiring Fund will be managed by Invesco Advisers,
Inc., the Acquiring Fund will, as of the closing date, have the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks
as the Fund. After the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc. will be the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund, and the Fund will be liquidated and
dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Reorganization is expected
to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
As of 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on April 12, 2019, the Reorganization has been approved by shareholders of record of the Fund as of January 14,
2019. Accordingly, if certain other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the Reorganization is currently expected to close on or about May 24, 2019,
or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.
