DAVIS VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUND, INC.	Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
DAVIS VALUE PORTFOLIO

Performance Overview

Davis Value Portfolio delivered a total return on net asset value of 31.16% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index(“Index”) returned 26.46%.  The sectors1 within the Index that turned in the strongest performance over the year were information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary.  The sectorswithin the Index that turned in the weakest (but still positive) performance over the year were telecommunication services, utilities, and energy.

Factors Impacting the Portfolio’s Performance

The Portfolio’s energy companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 39% versus up 14% for the Index) and were the largest contributors2 to performance on a relative basis compared to the Index.  Occidental Petroleum3, EOG Resources, and Canadian Natural Resources were among the most important contributors to performance.  ConocoPhillips was among the most important detractors from performance.

The Portfolio’s information technology companies were the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index.  The Portfolio’s information technology companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 63% versus up 62% for the Index), however this sector still detracted from performance relative to the Index due to the lower relative average weighting (8% versus 18% for the Index).  Google, Microsoft, and Texas Instruments were among the most important contributors to performance.  Tyco Electronics was among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Tyco Electronics.

The Portfolio’s financial companies were among the most important contributors to relative performance as the Portfolio had a higher average weighting (28% versus 13% for the Index) and the Portfolio’s financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 26% versus up 17% for the Index).  American Express and GAM Holding were among the most important contributors to performance.  Bank of America, Citigroup, NIPPONKOA Insurance, and Julius Baer Group were among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Bank of America, Citigroup, or NIPPONKOA Insurance.

The Portfolio’s relative performance was helped due to stock selection of health care companies.  The Portfolio had a lower relative average weighting in health care companies (8% versus 14% for the Index), but the Portfolio’s health care companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 40% versus up 20% for the Index).  Schering-Plough was among the most important contributors to performance.  Schering-Plough merged with Merck in November 2009.

The Portfolio ended the year with approximately 15% of its net assets invested in foreign companies.  As a whole these companies out-performed the domestic companies held by the Portfolio.

Davis Value Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.  There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.  The primary risks of an investment in Davis Value Portfolio are: (1) market risk, (2) company risk, (3) financial services risk, (4) foreign country risk, (5) headline risk, and (6) selection risk. See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

1     The companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index are divided into ten sectors.  One or more industry groups make up a sector.

2     A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Portfolio’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the portfolio.  For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3     This Management Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies.  The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.  The Schedule of Investments lists the Portfolio’s holdings of each company discussed.

The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  The Index is adjusted for dividends, weighted towards stocks with large market capitalizations, and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.  Investments cannot be made directly in the Index.

The performance data for Davis Value Portfolio contained in this report represents past performance and assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and should not be considered as an indication of future performance from an investment in the Portfolio today.  The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed.  Portfolio performance changes over time and current performance may be higher or lower than stated.  The operating expense ratio may vary in future years.  For more current information please call Davis Funds Investor Services at 1-800-279-0279.

Portfolio performance numbers are net of all Portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account.  If performance included the effect of these additional charges, the return would be lower.

DAVIS FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO

Performance Overview

Davis Financial Portfolio delivered a total return on net asset value of 41.18% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index(“Index”) returned 26.46%.  The Index’s diversified financials and insurance industry groups1 turned in positive performances, while the banking industry group turned in a negative performance.

Factors Impacting the Portfolio’s Performance

The Portfolio’s financial sector holdings out-performed those of the Index (up 44% versus up 17% for the Index).  The Portfolio had a portion of its assets invested in other sectors and these non-financial holdings overall contributed2 to performance.

The Portfolio’s diversified financial companies were the largest contributors to performance.  The Portfolio’s diversified financial companies out-performed the corresponding industry group within the Index (up 56% versus up 30% for the Index).  American Express3, Oaktree, Goldman Sachs, and GAM Holding were among the most important contributors to performance.  JPMorgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon, Julius Baer Group, and Bank of America were among the most important detractors from performance.

The Portfolio’s insurance companies were the second largest contributor to performance (up 24% versus up 14% for the corresponding industry group within the Index).  Transatlantic Holdings, China Life Insurance, and Loews were among the most important contributors to performance.  FPIC Insurance and American International Group were among the most important detractors from performance.  The Fund no longer owns American International Group.

The Portfolio’s banking companies contributed positively to performance (up 63% versus down 7% for the Index).  Wells Fargo and State Bank of India were among the most important contributors to performance.

The Portfolio received a favorable class action settlement from a former holding, Tyco International.  This settlement had an approximate impact of 0.4% on the investment performance of the Portfolio in 2009.

The Portfolio ended the year with approximately 25% of its net assets invested in foreign companies.  As a whole these companies out-performed the domestic companies held by the Portfolio.

Davis Financial Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.  There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.  The primary risks of an investment in Davis Financial Portfolio are: (1) market risk, (2) company risk, (3) concentrated financial services portfolio risk, (4) foreign country risk, (5) headline risk, and (6) selection risk.  See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Davis Financial Portfolio concentrates its investments in the financial sector, and it may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio that does not concentrate its investments in a particular sector.  The Portfolio’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of the financial sector more than a portfolio that does not concentrate its portfolio.

DAVIS VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUND, INC.	Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
DAVIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

Performance Overview

Davis Real Estate Portfolio delivered a total return on net asset value of 31.73% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Over the same time period, the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index(“Index”) returned 29.20%.  Every sub-industry1 within the Index delivered positive returns, with real estate operating companies, office REITs, and residential REITs turning in the strongest performance.

Factors Impacting the Portfolio’s Performance

The Portfolio’s office REITs were important contributors2 to performance.  A higher relative average weighting in this sub-industry (27% versus 17% for the Index) was a strong contributor to the Portfolio’s performance.  Alexandria Real Estate3, Digital Realty Trust, and SL Green Realty were among the most important contributors to performance.  Derwent London was among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Derwent London.

The Portfolio’s retail REITs were the most important contributor to performance relative to the Index.  The Portfolio’s retail REITs out-performed the corresponding sub-industry within the Index (up 51% versus up 28% for the Index).  Simon Property Group and Taubman Centers were among the most important contributors to performance.

Diversified REITs were the largest detractor from the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Index.  The Portfolio’s diversified REITs under-performed the corresponding sub-industry within the Index (down 17% versus up 24% for the Index).  Cousins Properties was among the most important detractors from performance.

Forest City Enterprises and ProLogis were among the most important contributors to the Portfolio’s performance.  Brixton, First Potomac Realty, and Cogdell Spencer were among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Brixton or First Potomac Realty.

Davis Real Estate Portfolio’s investment objective is total return through a combination of growth and income.  There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.  The primary risks of an investment in Davis Real Estate Portfolio are: (1) market risk, (2) company risk, (3) concentrated real estate portfolio risk, (4) focused portfolio risk, (5) small- and medium-capitalization risk, (6) foreign country risk, (7) headline risk, and (8) selection risk.  See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Davis Real Estate Portfolio concentrates its investments in the real estate sector, and it may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio that does not concentrate its investments in a particular sector.  The Portfolio’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of the real estate sector much more than a portfolio that does not concentrate its portfolio.

Davis Real Estate Portfolio is allowed to focus its investments in fewer companies, and it may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified portfolio that is not allowed to focus its investments in a few companies.  Should the portfolio manager determine that it is prudent to focus the Portfolio’s portfolio in a few companies, the Portfolio’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of its more focused portfolio.

1The companies included in the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index are divided into eight sub-industries.

2     A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Portfolio’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the portfolio.  For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3     This Management Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies.  The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.  The Schedule of Investments lists the Portfolio’s holdings of each company discussed.

DAVIS VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUND, INC. Expense Example

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	(07/01/09)	(12/31/09)	(07/01/09-12/31/09)
Davis Value Portfolio
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,242.37	$3.50
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,022.08	$3.16
Davis Financial Portfolio
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,251.81	$3.86
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,021.78	$3.47
Davis Real Estate Portfolio
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,400.23	$5.87
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,020.32	$4.94

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

*Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized operating expense ratio, multiplied by the average account valueover the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). See page 14 for a description of the “Expense Example.”  The annualized operating expense ratios for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:

	Annualized Expense Ratio**
Davis Value Portfolio	0.62%
Davis Financial Portfolio	0.68%
Davis Real Estate Portfolio	0.97%

** The expense ratios reflect the impact, if any, of the reduction of expenses paid indirectly and of certain reimbursements from the Adviser.

DAVIS VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUND, INC. Expense Example – (Continued)

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example.  Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs only, including advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses.  The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for each Fund is for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009.  Please note that the Expense Example is general and does not reflect charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account or account specific costs, which may increase your total costs of investing in the Funds.  If these charges or account specific costs were included in the Expense Example, the expenses would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only.  Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

DAVIS VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUND, INC.	Notes to Financial Statements
	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation), consists of three series of funds, Davis Value Portfolio, Davis Financial Portfolio, and Davis Real Estate Portfolio (collectively “Funds”).  Davis Value Portfolio and Davis Financial Portfolio are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“40 Act”), as amended, as diversified, open-end management investment companies.  Davis Real Estate Portfolio is registered under the 40 Act, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. Only insurance companies, for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, may purchase shares of the Funds.  The Funds account separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each series.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of financial statements.

Security Valuation - The Funds calculate the net asset value of their shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business.  Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation.  Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (e.g. NASDAQ) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the average of closing bid and asked prices.  Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Funds’ assets are valued.  Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value.  Securities whose values have been materially affected by what Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser, identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds’ assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued.  Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  These valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment.  Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

        Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

* Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value the Fund adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading.

Master Repurchase Agreements - The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts.  These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities.  A custodian bank holds securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements until the agreements mature.  Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation.  The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates.  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Foreign Currency- The Funds may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar.  Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss.  When the forward currency contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed.  Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Funds to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.  The Funds include foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sale of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statements of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes- It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.  The Adviser has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2009, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements.  The Funds’ federal and state (Arizona and Maryland) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.  The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2006.  At December 31, 2009, Davis Value Portfolio and Davis Financial Portfolio had post October 2009 losses available to offset future capital gains, if any, which expire in 2018. The Funds have available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards that expire in 2017.  Details of post October 2009 capital losses and capital loss carryforwards are as follows:

	Post October 2009 Capital Losses (expiring 12/31/2018)
Davis Value Portfolio	$	9,789,000
Davis Financial Portfolio		239,000

	Capital Loss Carryforwards

	$	30,445,000	$	13,006,000	$	14,247,000

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income- Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Dividend income from REIT securities may include return of capital.  Upon notification from the issuer, the amount of the return of capital is reclassified to adjust dividend income, reduce the cost basis, and/or adjust realized gain/loss.  Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company shares, and partnership income.  The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds.  The Funds adjust the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax rules.  Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2009, for Davis Value Portfolio, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $14,128 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions; for Davis Financial Portfolio, amounts have been reclassified to reflect an increase in undistributed net investment income of $7,640 and a corresponding increase in accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions; for Davis Real Estate Portfolio, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $1,820 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions.  The Funds’ net assets have not been affected by these reclassifications.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gain		Return of Capital		Total
Davis Value Portfolio
2009	$	3,982,003	$	–	$	–	$	3,982,003
2008		4,912,728		8,546,547		–		13,459,275

2008		805,314		368,173		28,370		1,201,857

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

	Davis Value Portfolio			Davis Financial Portfolio		Davis Real Estate Portfolio
Undistributed net investment income	$		790,168	$	478,082	$	7,288
Accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions		(40,234,828)			(13,245,770)		(14,246,813)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments			137,632,593		15,994,044		(266,182)
Total	$		98,187,933	$	3,226,356	$	(14,505,707)

Indemnification - - Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds.  In addition, some of the Funds’ contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses.  The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements- In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) is the Funds’ primary transfer agent.  State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) is the Funds’ primary accounting provider.  Fees for such services are included in the custodian fee as State Street Bank also serves as the Funds’ custodian.  The Adviser is also paid for certain accounting services.  The fee paid to the Adviser for these services for the year ended December 31, 2009 for Davis Value Portfolio, Davis Financial Portfolio, and Davis Real Estate Portfolio amounted to $6,252, $2,004, and $2,004, respectively.  Certain directors and officers of the Funds are also directors and officers of the general partner of the Adviser.

Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc. (“DSA-NY”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, acts as sub-adviser to the Funds.  DSA-NY performs research and portfolio management services for the Funds under a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser.  The Funds pay no fees directly to DSA-NY.

NOTE 4 - EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY

Under an agreement with State Street Bank, custodian fees are reduced for earnings on cash balances maintained at the custodian by the Funds.  Such reductions amounted to $6 for Davis Value Portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2009.  There were no reductions for Davis Financial Portfolio and Davis Real Estate Portfolio.

NOTE 6 - BANK BORROWINGS

Each Fund may borrow up to 5% of its assets from a bank to purchase portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes.  The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund.  Each Fund has entered into an agreement, which enables it to participate with certain other funds managed by the Adviser in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $50 million, collectively.  Interest is charged based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate or the Overnight Libor Rate, plus 1.25%.  The Funds had no borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 7 - ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Securities may be considered illiquid if they lack a readily available market or if valuation has not changed for a certain period of time.  Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have contractual restrictions on resale.  They are valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors as reflecting fair value.  The aggregate value of illiquid securities in Davis Value Portfolio amounted to $3,819,818 or 0.74% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009.  The aggregate value of restricted securities in Davis Value Portfolio amounted to $164,920 or 0.03% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009.  The aggregate value of illiquid securities in Davis Financial Portfolio amounted to $4,244,450 or 4.83% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Davis Value Portfolio, Davis Financial Portfolio, and Davis Real Estate Portfolio (comprising the Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc.), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received.  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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Davis Value Portfolio, Davis Financial Portfolio, and Davis Real Estate Portfolio as of December 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DAVIS VALUE PORTFOLIO Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Performance Overview

Davis Value Portfolio delivered a total return on net asset value of 31.16% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index(“Index”) returned 26.46%.  The sectors1 within the Index that turned in the strongest performance over the year were information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary.  The sectorswithin the Index that turned in the weakest (but still positive) performance over the year were telecommunication services, utilities, and energy.

Factors Impacting the Portfolio’s Performance

The Portfolio’s energy companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 39% versus up 14% for the Index) and were the largest contributors2 to performance on a relative basis compared to the Index.  Occidental Petroleum3, EOG Resources, and Canadian Natural Resources were among the most important contributors to performance.  ConocoPhillips was among the most important detractors from performance.

The Portfolio’s information technology companies were the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index.  The Portfolio’s information technology companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 63% versus up 62% for the Index), however this sector still detracted from performance relative to the Index due to the lower relative average weighting (8% versus 18% for the Index).  Google, Microsoft, and Texas Instruments were among the most important contributors to performance.  Tyco Electronics was among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Tyco Electronics.

The Portfolio’s financial companies were among the most important contributors to relative performance as the Portfolio had a higher average weighting (28% versus 13% for the Index) and the Portfolio’s financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 26% versus up 17% for the Index).  American Express and GAM Holding were among the most important contributors to performance.  Bank of America, Citigroup, NIPPONKOA Insurance, and Julius Baer Group were among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Bank of America, Citigroup, or NIPPONKOA Insurance.

The Portfolio’s relative performance was helped due to stock selection of health care companies.  The Portfolio had a lower relative average weighting in health care companies (8% versus 14% for the Index), but the Portfolio’s health care companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 40% versus up 20% for the Index).  Schering-Plough was among the most important contributors to performance.  Schering-Plough merged with Merck in November 2009.

The Portfolio ended the year with approximately 15% of its net assets invested in foreign companies.  As a whole these companies out-performed the domestic companies held by the Portfolio.

Davis Value Portfolio��s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.  There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.  The primary risks of an investment in Davis Value Portfolio are: (1) market risk, (2) company risk, (3) financial services risk, (4) foreign country risk, (5) headline risk, and (6) selection risk. See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

1     The companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index are divided into ten sectors.  One or more industry groups make up a sector.

2     A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Portfolio’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the portfolio.  For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3     This Management Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies.  The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.  The Schedule of Investments lists the Portfolio’s holdings of each company discussed.

Average Annual Total Return for periods ended December 31, 2009

F Fund & Benchmark Index	1-Year	5-Year	10-Year	Since Fund’s Inception	Inception Date	Gross Expense Ratio	Net Expense Ratio

Standard & Poor’s 500® Index	26.46%	0.42%	(0.95)%	(0.26)%

The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  The Index is adjusted for dividends, weighted towards stocks with large market capitalizations, and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.  Investments cannot be made directly in the Index.

The performance data for Davis Value Portfolio contained in this report represents past performance and assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and should not be considered as an indication of future performance from an investment in the Portfolio today.  The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed.  Portfolio performance changes over time and current performance may be higher or lower than stated.  The operating expense ratio may vary in future years.  For more current information please call Davis Funds Investor Services at 1-800-279-0279.

Portfolio performance numbers are net of all Portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account.  If performance included the effect of these additional charges, the return would be lower.

DAVIS VALUE PORTFOLIO Expense Example

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs only, including advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated which for the Fund is for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009. Please note that the Expense Example is general and does not reflect charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account or account specific costs, which may increase your total costs of investing in the Fund. If these charges or account specific costs were included in the Expense Example, the expenses would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	(07/01/09)	(12/31/09)	(07/01/09-12/31/09)
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,242.37	$3.50
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,022.08	$3.16

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized operating expense ratio (0.62%)**, multiplied by the average account valueover the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

** The expense ratio reflects the impact, if any, of the reduction of expenses paid indirectly and of certain reimbursements from the Adviser.

DAVIS VALUE PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is a separate series of Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company.  Only insurance companies, for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, may purchase shares of the Fund.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial statements.

Security Valuation - The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business.  Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation.  Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (e.g. NASDAQ) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the average of closing bid and asked prices.  Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.  Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value.  Securities whose values have been materially affected by what Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued.  Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  These valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

        Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

*Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value the Fund adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading.

Master Repurchase Agreements - The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts.  These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities.  A custodian bank holds securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements until the agreements mature.  Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation.  The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates.  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

DAVIS VALUE PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Foreign Currency- The Fund may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar.  Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.  When the forward currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed.  Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Fund to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.  The Fund includes foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sale of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statement of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes- It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.  The Adviser has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2009, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements.  The Fund’s federal and state (Arizona and Maryland) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.  The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2006.  At December 31, 2009, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards and post October 2009 capital losses as follows:

	Capital Loss Carryforwards		Post October 2009  Capital Losses
Expiring
12/31/2017	$	30,445,000	$	–
12/31/2018		–		9,789,000
	$	30,445,000	$	9,789,000

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income- Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, passive foreign investment company shares, and foreign currency transactions.  The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which 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 rules. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2009, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $14,128 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions.  Net assets have not been affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

	2009		2008
Ordinary income	$	3,982,003	$	4,912,728
Long-term capital gain		–		8,546,547
Total	$	3,982,003	$	13,459,275

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	790,168
Accumulated net realized losses from investments and
foreign currency transactions		(40,234,828)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments		137,632,593
Total	$	98,187,933

Indemnification - - Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.  In addition, some of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements- In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) during the year ended December 31, 2009 were $149,251,682 and $74,542,809, respectively.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory fees are paid monthly to the Adviser. Prior to July 1, 2009, the annual rate was 0.75% of the Fund’s average net assets.  Effective July 1, 2009, the annual rate is 0.55% of the Fund’s average net assets.  Advisory fees paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 approximated 0.63% of the average net assets.

Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) is the Fund’s primary transfer agent.  State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) is the Fund’s primary accounting provider.  Fees for such services are included in the custodian fee as State Street Bank also serves as the Fund’s custodian.  The Adviser is also paid for certain accounting services.  The fee paid to the Adviser for these services for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $6,252.  Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors and officers of the general partner of the Adviser.

Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc. (“DSA-NY”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, acts as sub-adviser to the Fund.  DSA-NY performs research and portfolio management services for the Fund under a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser.  The Fund pays no fees directly to DSA-NY.

NOTE 4 - EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY

Under an agreement with State Street Bank, custodian fees are reduced for earnings on cash balances maintained at the custodian by the Fund.  Such reductions amounted to $6 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK

At December 31, 2009, there were 500 million shares of capital stock ($0.001 par value per share) authorized. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

Net increase (decrease)	7,986,862	$	72,001,466	(5,188,860)	$	(70,813,149)

NOTE 6 - BANK BORROWINGS

The Fund may borrow up to 5% of its assets from a bank to purchase portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes.  The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund.  The Fund has entered into an agreement, which enables it to participate with certain other funds managed by the Adviser in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $50 million, collectively.  Interest is charged based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate or the Overnight Libor Rate, plus 1.25%.  The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 7 - ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Securities may be considered illiquid if they lack a readily available market or if valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have contractual restrictions on resale. They are valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors as reflecting fair value. The aggregate value of illiquid securities amounted to $3,819,818 or 0.74% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009.  The aggregate value of restricted securities amounted to $164,920 or 0.03% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Davis Value Portfolio (a separate series of the Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received.  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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Davis Value Portfolio as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DAVIS FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Performance Overview

Davis Financial Portfolio delivered a total return on net asset value of 41.18% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index(“Index”) returned 26.46%.  The Index’s diversified financials and insurance industry groups1 turned in positive performances, while the banking industry group turned in a negative performance.

Factors Impacting the Portfolio’s Performance

The Portfolio’s financial sector holdings out-performed those of the Index (up 44% versus up 17% for the Index).  The Portfolio had a portion of its assets invested in other sectors and these non-financial holdings overall contributed2 to performance.

The Portfolio’s diversified financial companies were the largest contributors to performance.  The Portfolio’s diversified financial companies out-performed the corresponding industry group within the Index (up 56% versus up 30% for the Index).  American Express3, Oaktree, Goldman Sachs, and GAM Holding were among the most important contributors to performance.  JPMorgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon, Julius Baer Group, and Bank of America were among the most important detractors from performance.

The Portfolio’s insurance companies were the second largest contributor to performance (up 24% versus up 14% for the corresponding industry group within the Index).  Transatlantic Holdings, China Life Insurance, and Loews were among the most important contributors to performance.  FPIC Insurance and American International Group were among the most important detractors from performance.  The Fund no longer owns American International Group.

The Portfolio’s banking companies contributed positively to performance (up 63% versus down 7% for the Index).  Wells Fargo and State Bank of India were among the most important contributors to performance.

The Portfolio received a favorable class action settlement from a former holding, Tyco International.  This settlement had an approximate impact of 0.4% on the investment performance of the Portfolio in 2009.

The Portfolio ended the year with approximately 25% of its net assets invested in foreign companies.  As a whole these companies out-performed the domestic companies held by the Portfolio.

Davis Financial Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.  There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.  The primary risks of an investment in Davis Financial Portfolio are: (1) market risk, (2) company risk, (3) concentrated financial services portfolio risk, (4) foreign country risk, (5) headline risk, and (6) selection risk.  See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Davis Financial Portfolio concentrates its investments in the financial sector, and it may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio that does not concentrate its investments in a particular sector.  The Portfolio’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of the financial sector more than a portfolio that does not concentrate its portfolio.

1     The companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index are divided into ten sectors.  One or more industry groups make up a sector.

 2     A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Portfolio’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the portfolio.  For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3     This Management Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies.  The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.  The Schedule of Investments lists the Portfolio’s holdings of each company discussed.

DAVIS FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance – (Continued)

Comparison of a $10,000 investment in Davis Financial Portfolio versus the Standard & Poor’s 500® Indexover 10 years for an investment made on December 31, 1999

Average Annual Total Return for periods ended December 31, 2009

F Fund & Benchmark Index	1-Year	5-Year	10-Year	Since Fund’s Inception	Inception Date	Gross Expense Ratio	Net Expense Ratio
Davis Financial Portfolio	41.18%	(1.79)%	2.66%	1.81%	07/01/99	0.78%	0.78%
Standard & Poor’s 500® Index	26.46%	0.42%	(0.95)%	(0.26)%

The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  The Index is adjusted for dividends, weighted towards stocks with large market capitalizations, and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.  Investments cannot be made directly in the Index.

The performance data for Davis Financial Portfolio contained in this report represents past performance and assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and should not be considered as an indication of future performance from an investment in the Portfolio today.  The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed.  Portfolio performance changes over time and current performance may be higher or lower than stated.  The operating expense ratio may vary in future years.  For more current information please call Davis Funds Investor Services at 1-800-279-0279.

Portfolio performance numbers are net of all Portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account.  If performance included the effect of these additional charges, the return would be lower.

Davis Financial Portfolio received a favorable class action settlement from a company that it no longer owns.  This settlement had a material impact on the investment performance of the Portfolio in 2009.  This was a one-time event that is unlikely to be repeated.

DAVIS FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO Expense Example

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs only, including advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for the Fund is for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009. Please note that the Expense Example is general and does not reflect charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account or account specific costs, which may increase your total costs of investing in the Fund. If these charges or account specific costs were included in the Expense Example, the expenses would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	(07/01/2009)	(12/31/2009)	(07/01/2009-12/31/2009)
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,251.81	$3.86
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,021.78	$3.47

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized operating expense ratio (0.68%)**, multiplied by the average account valueover the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

** The expense ratio reflects the impact, if any, of the reduction of expenses paid indirectly and of certain reimbursements from the Adviser.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is a separate series of Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company.  Only insurance companies, for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, may purchase shares of the Fund.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial statements.

Security Valuation - The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business.  Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation.  Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (e.g. NASDAQ) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the average of closing bid and asked prices.  Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.  Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value.  Securities whose values have been materially affected by what Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued.  Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  These valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

        Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

	Investments in Securities at Value
	Valuation Inputs
			Level 2:		Level 3:
			Other Significant		Significant
	Level 1:		Observable		Unobservable
	Quoted Prices		Inputs*		Inputs		Total

*Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value the Fund adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading.

DAVIS FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Master Repurchase Agreements - The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts.  These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities.  A custodian bank holds securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements until the agreements mature.  Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation.  The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates.  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

Foreign Currency- The Fund may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar.  Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.  When the forward currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed.  Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Fund to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.  The Fund includes foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sale of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statement of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes- It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.  The Adviser has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2009, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements.  The Fund’s federal and state (Arizona and Maryland) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.  The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2006.  At December 31, 2009, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards and post October 2009 capital losses as follows:

	Capital Loss Carryforwards		Post October 2009  Capital Losses
Expiring
12/31/2016	$	4,739,000	$	–
12/31/2017		8,267,000		–
12/31/2018		–		239,000
	$	13,006,000	$	239,000

DAVIS FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income- Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, foreign currency transactions, and partnership income.  The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which 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 rules. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2009, amounts have been reclassified to reflect an increase in undistributed net investment income of $7,640 and a corresponding increase in accumulated net realized losses from investments. The Fund’s net assets have not been affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

	2009		2008
Ordinary income	$	629,608	$	18,252
Long-term capital gain		–		3,322,510
Total	$	629,608	$	3,340,762

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	478,082
Accumulated net realized losses from investments		(13,245,770)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments		15,994,044
Total	$	3,226,356

Indemnification - - Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.  In addition, some of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements- In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) during the year ended December 31, 2009 were $14,698,421 and $6,805,846, respectively.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory fees are paid monthly to the Adviser. Prior to July 1, 2009, the annual rate was 0.75% of the Fund’s average net assets.  Effective July 1, 2009, the annual rate is 0.55% of the Fund’s average net assets.  Advisory fees paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 approximated 0.63% of the average net assets.

Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) is the Fund’s primary transfer agent.  State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) is the Fund’s primary accounting provider.  Fees for such services are included in the custodian fee as State Street Bank also serves as the Fund’s custodian.  The Adviser is also paid for certain accounting services.  The fee paid to the Adviser for these services for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $2,004.  Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors and officers of the general partner of the Adviser.

Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc. (“DSA-NY”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, acts as sub-adviser to the Fund.  DSA-NY performs research and portfolio management services for the Fund under a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser.  The Fund pays no fees directly to DSA-NY.

NOTE 4 - EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY

Under an agreement with State Street Bank, custodian fees are reduced for earnings on cash balances maintained at the custodian by the Fund.  There were no reductions during the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK

At December 31, 2009, there were 500 million shares of capital stock ($0.001 par value per share) authorized. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

NOTE 6 - BANK BORROWINGS

The Fund may borrow up to 5% of its assets from a bank to purchase portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes.  The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund.  The Fund has entered into an agreement, which enables it to participate with certain other funds managed by the Adviser in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $50 million, collectively.  Interest is charged based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate or the Overnight Libor Rate, plus 1.25%.  The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2009.

DAVIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Performance Overview

Davis Real Estate Portfolio delivered a total return on net asset value of 31.73% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Over the same time period, the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index(“Index”) returned 29.20%.  Every sub-industry1 within the Index delivered positive returns, with real estate operating companies, office REITs, and residential REITs turning in the strongest performance.

Factors Impacting the Portfolio’s Performance

The Portfolio’s office REITs were important contributors2 to performance.  A higher relative average weighting in this sub-industry (27% versus 17% for the Index) was a strong contributor to the Portfolio’s performance.  Alexandria Real Estate3, Digital Realty Trust, and SL Green Realty were among the most important contributors to performance.  Derwent London was among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Derwent London.

The Portfolio’s retail REITs were the most important contributor to performance relative to the Index.  The Portfolio’s retail REITs out-performed the corresponding sub-industry within the Index (up 51% versus up 28% for the Index).  Simon Property Group and Taubman Centers were among the most important contributors to performance.

Diversified REITs were the largest detractor from the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Index.  The Portfolio’s diversified REITs under-performed the corresponding sub-industry within the Index (down 17% versus up 24% for the Index).  Cousins Properties was among the most important detractors from performance.

Forest City Enterprises and ProLogis were among the most important contributors to the Portfolio’s performance.  Brixton, First Potomac Realty, and Cogdell Spencer were among the most important detractors from performance.  The Portfolio no longer owns Brixton or First Potomac Realty.

Davis Real Estate Portfolio’s investment objective is total return through a combination of growth and income.  There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its objective.  The primary risks of an investment in Davis Real Estate Portfolio are: (1) market risk, (2) company risk, (3) concentrated real estate portfolio risk, (4) focused portfolio risk, (5) small- and medium-capitalization risk, (6) foreign country risk, (7) headline risk, and (8) selection risk.  See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Davis Real Estate Portfolio concentrates its investments in the real estate sector, and it may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio that does not concentrate its investments in a particular sector.  The Portfolio’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of the real estate sector much more than a portfolio that does not concentrate its portfolio.

Davis Real Estate Portfolio is allowed to focus its investments in fewer companies, and it may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified portfolio that is not allowed to focus its investments in a few companies.  Should the portfolio manager determine that it is prudent to focus the Portfolio’s portfolio in a few companies, the Portfolio’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of its more focused portfolio.

1The companies included in the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index are divided into eight sub-industries.

2     A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Portfolio’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the portfolio.  For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3     This Management Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies.  The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.  The Schedule of Investments lists the Portfolio’s holdings of each company discussed.

Comparison of a $10,000 investment in Davis Real Estate Portfolio versus the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index and the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Indexover 10 years for an investment made on December 31, 1999

Average Annual Total Return for periods ended December 31, 2009

F Fund & Benchmark Indices	1-Year	5-Year	10-Year	Since Fund’s Inception	Inception Date	Gross Expense Ratio	Net Expense Ratio
Davis Real Estate Portfolio	31.73%	(2.12)%	8.49%	6.89%	07/01/99	0.98%	0.98%
Standard & Poor’s 500® Index	26.46%	0.42%	(0.95)%	(0.26)%
Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index	29.20%	(0.23)%	10.47%	8.93%

The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  The Index is adjusted for dividends, weighted towards stocks with large market capitalizations, and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.  Investments cannot be made directly in the Index.

The Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index is a broad measure of the performance of publicly traded real estate securities. It reflects no deduction for fees or expenses.  The Index was formerly named the “Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index.” Investments cannot be made directly in the Index.

The performance data for Davis Real Estate Portfolio contained in this report represents past performance and assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and should not be considered as an indication of future performance from an investment in the Portfolio today.  The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed.  Portfolio performance changes over time and current performance may be higher or lower than stated.  The operating expense ratio may vary in future years.  For more current information please call Davis Funds Investor Services at 1-800-279-0279.

Portfolio performance numbers are net of all Portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account.  If performance included the effect of these additional charges, the return would be lower.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs only, including advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for the Fund is for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009. Please note that the Expense Example is general and does not reflect charges imposed by your insurance company’s separate account or account specific costs, which may increase your total costs of investing in the Fund. If these charges or account specific costs were included in the Expense Example, the expenses would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	(07/01/09)	(12/31/09)	(07/01/09-12/31/09)
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,400.23	$5.87
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,020.32	$4.94

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized operating expense ratio (0.97%)**, multiplied by the average account valueover the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

** The expense ratio reflects the impact, if any, of the reduction of expenses paid indirectly and of certain reimbursements from the Adviser.

DAVIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is a separate series of Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  Only insurance companies, for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, may purchase shares of the Fund.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial statements.

Security Valuation - The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business.  Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation.  Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (e.g. NASDAQ) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the average of closing bid and asked prices.  Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.  Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value.  Securities whose values have been materially affected by what Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued.  Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors.  Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  These valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s  investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

        Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

	Investments in Securities at Value
	Valuation Inputs
			Level 2:		Level 3:
			Other Significant		Significant
	Level 1:		Observable		Unobservable
	Quoted Prices		Inputs		Inputs		Total

DAVIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Master Repurchase Agreements - The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts.  These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities.  A custodian bank holds securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements until the agreements mature.  Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation.  The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates.  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

Foreign Currency- The Fund may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar.  Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.  When the forward currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed.  Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Fund to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.  The Fund includes foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sale of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statement of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes- It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.  The Adviser has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2009, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements.  The Fund’s federal and state (Arizona and Maryland) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.  The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2006.  At December 31, 2009, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows:

	Capital Loss Carryforwards
Expiring
12/31/2016	$	2,585,000
12/31/2017		11,662,000
	$	14,247,000

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income- Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Dividend income from REIT securities may include return of capital.  Upon notification from the issuer, the amount of the return of capital is reclassified to adjust dividend income, reduce the cost basis, and/or adjust realized gain/loss.  Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

DAVIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales and foreign currency transactions.  The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which 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 rules.  Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2009, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $1,820 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions.  Net assets have not been affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

	2009		2008
Ordinary income	$	513,936	$	805,314
Long-term capital gain		–		368,173
Return of capital		–		28,370
Total	$	513,936	$	1,201,857

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	7,288
Accumulated net realized losses from investments and
foreign currency transactions		(14,246,813)
Net unrealized depreciation on investments		(266,182)
Total	$	(14,505,707)

Indemnification - - Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.  In addition, some of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements- In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) during the year ended December 31, 2009 were $11,903,585 and $13,426,525, respectively.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory fees are paid monthly to the Adviser. Prior to July 1, 2009, the annual rate was 0.75% of the Fund’s average net assets.  Effective July 1, 2009, the annual rate is 0.55% of the Fund’s average net assets.  Advisory fees paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 approximated 0.64% of the average net assets.

Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) is the Fund’s primary transfer agent.  State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) is the Fund’s primary accounting provider.  Fees for such services are included in the custodian fee as State Street Bank also serves as the Fund’s custodian.  The Adviser is also paid for certain accounting services.  The fee paid to the Adviser for these services for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $2,004.  Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors and officers of the general partner of the Adviser.

Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc. (“DSA-NY”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, acts as sub-adviser to the Fund.  DSA-NY performs research and portfolio management services for the Fund under a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser.  The Fund pays no fees directly to DSA-NY.

NOTE 4 - EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY

Under an agreement with State Street Bank, custodian fees are reduced for earnings on cash balances maintained at the custodian by the Fund.  There were no reductions during the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK

At December 31, 2009, there were 500 million shares of capital stock ($0.001 par value per share) authorized. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

of Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Davis Real Estate Portfolio (a separate series of the Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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, 2009, 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Davis Real Estate Portfolio as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
