The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance and expense ratios may be lower or higher than the data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. The net expense ratios take into account a voluntary fee waiver or expense reimbursement, without which performance would have been less. This undertaking may be modified or terminated at any time.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. During the twelve-month reporting period, Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA’s Non-Service shares returned 32.61%, underperforming the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (the “Index”), which returned 46.29% over the same timespan.
In our opinion, the primary cause of the Fund’s unfavorable stock selection was a pronounced market shift during the second and third quarters of the period out of relatively higher-quality stocks, and into lower-quality stocks that had declined the most during the bear market. This change in market leadership has occurred in previous market cycles as the appetite for risk returns, but tends to be temporary in nature. In the last quarter of the period, the Fund’s Non-Service shares outperformed the Index.
The global recession that defined 2008 continued in the first half of 2009, as unemployment rates climbed, housing prices slumped and consumer confidence remained depressed. The economic downturn was intensified by a global banking crisis that led to the failures of several major financial institutions and nearly frozen conditions in some credit markets. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reduced short-term interest rates aggressively, including a cut in mid-December 2008 that drove its target for the overnight federal funds rate to an unprecedented low of 0% to 0.25%.
Pronounced signs of economic weakness persisted through the first half of 2009. After declining in the fourth quarter of 2008, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) continued to decline in the first and second quarters of 2009, falling by 6.4% and 0.7%, respectively. January 2009’s economic news included a sharp decline in housing prices compared to one year earlier. In February and March, the U.S. economy lost more than 600,000 jobs in each month and consumer confidence dropped sharply. In early March, the U.S. stock market hit a multi-year low.
Investor sentiment soon began to improve as evidence appeared that global credit markets were thawing in response to massive remedial efforts by U.S. government and monetary authorities. The U.S. government enacted the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was designed to retain and create jobs, provide budget relief to states and localities, maintain social programs and offer tax relief to businesses and individuals.
As it became clearer that these remedial measures had helped to avert a collapse of the U.S. banking system and with historically low valuations, equities began an impressive rally that began in March 2009 and continued through the end of the reporting period. While volatility persisted, most global equity markets ended the reporting period with substantial gains.
For the first time since the second quarter of 2008, GDP growth was once again positive in the third quarter of 2009, increasing at a modest rate. The initial estimates for 2009 fourth quarter GDP signaled a faster rate of growth for the economy heading into 2010. Nevertheless, some of the lagging indicators, such as unemployment figures, continued to be troubling and hovered at around 10% in the U.S. The housing market continued to slump through the end of the reporting period and consumer confidence remained shaky. Despite the strong equity market gains in the second half of the reporting period, wariness persisted about the economic landscape for 2010. Given the perceived fragility of the economic recovery, the Fed consistently maintained its low target for short-term interest rates through the reporting period’s end.
Relative to the Index, the Fund’s greatest detractors on a sector basis were consumer discretionary, health care and industrials, due primarily to weaker relative stock selection. Within consumer discretionary, overweights to Burger King Holdings, Inc., New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc. and Strayer Education, Inc. detracted from results. We exited our position in Burger King Holdings, Inc. and New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc. over the reporting period. Despite underperforming during the tumultuous reporting period, we continued to maintain a position in Strayer Education, Inc. In terms of health care, overweight positions in C.R. Bard, Inc., Cephalon, Inc. and Shire plc detracted from results, as these securities underperformed during the period. We exited our position in all three holdings during the reporting period. In industrials, individual detractors to performance included Stericycle, Inc., Clean Harbors, Inc. and FTI Consulting, Inc, the latter two of which we exited.
In terms of contributors to relative performance, the Fund outperformed the Index primarily within the information technology and utilities sectors. In information technology, stock selection was the primary driver of outperformance for the Fund. Rovi Corp., Salesforce.com, Inc., Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., Equinix, Inc. and NetApp, Inc. were

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
among the top performing securities within information technology. These securities produced strong results during the period, and our overweight position to each of them added to Fund performance. We exited our position and locked in our gains in Rovi Corp. during the reporting period. Within the utilities sector, the Fund’s underweight position to what was the weakest performing sector of the Index contributed positively to relative performance.
At period end, the Fund had its largest overweights to health care, energy, information technology and telecommunication services. The Fund’s largest underweights were to consumer staples, utilities and industrials. At period end, the Fund did not hold any securities in the utilities sector. During the reporting period, we exited certain positions (some of which were noted above) as we continued to strive to seek higher-quality stocks that meet our criteria and we feel are poised to benefit in the post-recessionary period. We believe that 2010 will mark a return of fundamentals in which higher-quality stocks will generally outperform lower-quality stocks.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on October 16, 2000. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market, and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, an unmanaged index of medium-capitalization domestic growth stocks. The indices performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,020.27 | | | | 5.00 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service shares | | | 0.73 | % |
Service shares | | | 0.98 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards: |
1) Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Level 3— | | | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing in “growth type” companies. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized
F10 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND/VA
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. | | As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had $531,261,211 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows: |

2. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund utilized $4,134,778 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. |
|
4. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, $225,332,848 of unused capital loss carryforward expired. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
F12 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND/VA
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

|
Investment securities | | $ | 491,481,494 | | | $ | 509,739,681 | |
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Next $700 million | | | 0.60 | |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.58 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $311,637 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009, the Manager had voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance was in the fourth or fifth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group.
Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.09% of the Fund’s average annual net assets. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $666,761 in advisory fees as a result of these voluntary arrangements.
Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $84,220 and $4,001 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
F14 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND/VA
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $16,879 for IMMF management fees.
5. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
6. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Ronald Zibelli, Jr. the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s
8 | OPPENHEIMER MIDCAP FUND/VA
historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other mid-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board considered that a new portfolio manager took over management of the Fund on November 17, 2008.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other mid-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were lower than its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The Board also considered that, effective April 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive 0.09% of its management fee through March 31, 2010. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time after March 31, 2010.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA’s Non-Service shares returned 21.89% compared to the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 26.47% and 5.93%, respectively.
The Fund’s equity component produced a stronger return than the S&P 500 Index during the reporting period. On a sector basis, the equity component outperformed the S&P 500 Index in seven out of ten sectors, led by information technology, health care, consumer staples and industrials. The equity component’s heavy overweight position to information technology, which was the strongest performing sector within the S&P 500 Index during the period, contributed to positive results. Information technology stocks that fared particularly well included Research in Motion Ltd., Google, Inc., QUALCOMM, Inc., eBay, Inc. and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. The Fund’s overweight position to these securities benefited results. Microsoft Corp. also was a top contributor to Fund performance during the period, but we decided to exit our position after our holdings strongly appreciated. At period end, Take-Two and Google were the two largest equity holdings of the Fund, and during the period, they were also the top two contributors to Fund performance within the equity component.
Within health care, the Fund’s overweight position to the securities of pharmaceutical companies Mylan, Inc. and Schering-Plough Corp. contributed to the outperformance within the sector. The Fund’s position in Schering-Plough Corp. benefited performance during the period, as Merck & Co., Inc. acquired the company in early November 2009. In terms of consumer staples, Lorillard, Inc. was a top performing holding within the sector. The Fund’s underweight position to consumer staples, one of the weaker performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index during the period, also benefited performance. In terms of industrials, our overweight positions to Joy Global, Inc. and Aircastle Ltd. contributed to performance, as they produced strong returns during the period.
The Fund’s equity component underperformed within the financials and consumer discretionary sectors as a result of weaker relative stock selection. In financials, our overweight positions to Julius Baer Holding AG and Everest Re Group Ltd. detracted from results. Consumer discretionary holdings that hurt relative performance were Jupiter Telecommunications Co. Ltd. and Las Vegas Sands Corp. We exited our positions in Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Julius Baer Holding AG by period end.
Relative to the S&P 500 Index, we remained heavily overweight in information technology, and to a much lesser extent, health care and financials at period end. We finished the period underweight in all other sectors. The equity component at period end comprised approximately 50% of the Fund’s net assets, which was roughly the allocation throughout most of the period.
The Fund’s bond component underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, in the first quarter of 2009, during a period of significant upheaval in the credit markets. After a portfolio management change in April 2009, the bond component’s performance improved significantly, leading to its eventual outperformance versus the benchmark.
The Fund’s exposure to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and corporate bonds was the primary driver of positive performance. Our overweight to residential MBS, comprised mainly of agency mortgages, aided performance as this sector performed well due in large part to government programs aimed at supporting the housing market. Non-agency MBS, which are securitized by non-government institutions such as large banks, also performed well for the Fund, particularly in the second half of the period. The Fund was also overweight to commercial MBS, which performed well for the period, despite ongoing headline risk in this sector. In the fourth quarter, we reduced our overweight to this sector and realized gains.
Over the course of the reporting period, we increased our allocation to corporate bonds, moving from a neutral position at the end of the second quarter of 2009 to an overweight position by the end of the third quarter of 2009. This benefited the Fund as investment grade corporate and BB-rated corporate bonds performed well in the second half of the period. Credit spreads, or the risk premium to comparable U.S. Treasuries, continued to tighten. Credit spreads have narrowed dramatically since hitting their widest point back in December 2008.
Within the corporate sector, we remained overweight relative to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index in financials at period end, having increased our exposure in the latter half of the reporting period. In the third quarter of 2009,

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
industrial spreads tightened, and we reduced our exposure to this sector. During the reporting period, we increased our allocation to the higher quality end of high yield corporate bonds. High yield bonds extended their strong gains in the second half of the reporting period, particularly in the third quarter of 2009, as the gap between the yield on these bonds and Treasuries narrowed.
We remained significantly underweight U.S. Treasuries and federal agency bonds and other federal agency debt instruments (“federal agencies”) relative to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Although these sectors generated positive returns at times during the period, we had a greater level of exposure at period end to other areas, such as agency MBS. We believe agency MBS, which are typically packaged and resold by government sponsored enterprises including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, provide high credit quality and a potentially more attractive risk/return profile. Despite being underweight Treasuries and federal agencies, the average credit quality of the Fund finished the period at AA.
While we do not have any immediate inflation concerns, rising prices may be an inevitable future reality. And although many areas of the economy remain weak, credit markets have improved dramatically from a year ago when many markets were completely frozen. Investor appetite for riskier assets, and the higher yields these assets typically offer, has driven up prices in most fixed income and equity markets. Given the sharp rally in 2009 in many riskier assets, future returns may be driven by fundamentals. Meanwhile, U.S. companies continue to take advantage of lower rates and hospitable credit markets by issuing bonds to raise funds. Despite the run-up in prices last year, we still believe there are areas of the equity and bond markets that remain attractive.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on May 1, 2002. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of both the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate, government and mortgage-backed securities that is a measure of the domestic bond market. The indices’ performances include reinvestment of income but do not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments vary from the investments in the indices.

Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in:
The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service Shares | | | 0.59 | % |
Service Shares | | | 0.84 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

| | |
1. | | Non-income producing security. |
|
2. | | Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of December 31, 2009 was $1,188,560, which represents 0.48% of the Fund’s net assets. See Note 6 of accompanying. |
|
3. | | Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security. |
|
4. | | Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $6,234,645 or 2.51% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
|
5. | | All or a portion of the security is held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts. The aggregate market value of such securities is $535,751. See Note 5 of accompanying Notes. |
|
6. | | Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $4,906,915 or 1.97% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
|
7. | | The current amortization rate of the security’s cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change. |
|
8. | | Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $192,767 or 0.08% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
|
9. | | When-issued security or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2009. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes. |

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) | | Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Level 3— | | | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return, which includes current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
| | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. |
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized
F16 | OPPENHEIMER BALANCED FUND/VA
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
| | | | |
| | When-Issued or Delayed Delivery | |
| | Basis Transactions | |
|
Purchased securities | | | $34,401,962 | |
The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.
Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.
Securities Sold Short. The Fund may short sell when-issued securities for future settlement. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss for the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no securities sold short.
F17 | OPPENHEIMER BALANCED FUND/VA

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

4. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
5. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Over $800 million | | | 0.60 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $150,248 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses so the “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses” will not exceed 0.67% of average annual net assets for Non-Service shares and 0.92% of average annual net assets for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed $342,968 and $169,984 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.08% of the Fund’s average annual net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $145,024. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and may be withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $37,228 for IMMF management fees.

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting
F22 | OPPENHEIMER BALANCED FUND/VA
to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of December 31, 2009 the Fund has not required certain counterparties to post collateral.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund has several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s ISDA master agreements which govern positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.
As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability position was $35,332, for which collateral was not posted by the Fund. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2009, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. If the Fund fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities posted as collateral will be made available to the counterparty. Cash posted as collateral for these contracts, if any, is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities posted as collateral, if any, are reported on the Statement of Investments.
Valuations of derivative instruments as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
F24 | OPPENHEIMER BALANCED FUND/VA
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Options written are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund has written put options on individual equity securities and, or, equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has written covered call options on individual equity securities and, or, equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A written covered call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk for over-the-counter options and liquidity risk.
Written option activity for the year ended December 31, 2009 was as follows:

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by contracts in unrealized appreciation and depreciation positions. Upfront payments paid or received, if any, affect the value of the respective swap. Therefore, to determine the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps, upfront payments paid should be subtracted from, while upfront payments received should be added to, the value of contracts reported as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Conversely, upfront payments paid should be added to, while upfront payments received should be subtracted from the value of contracts reported as a liability. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps require little or no initial cash investment, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.
The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes.
F26 | OPPENHEIMER BALANCED FUND/VA
The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements.
The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no such interest rate swap agreements outstanding.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and, or, include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay, or receive payments, to, or from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the fund to pay, or receive payments, to, or from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no such total return swap agreements outstanding.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2009, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
7. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 59.31% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Emmanuel Ferriera, Krishna Memani and Peter Strzalkowski, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year
8 | OPPENHEIMER BALANCED FUND/VA
performance was below its peer group median. The Board considered the Manager’s assertion that the Fund’s under-performance in 2008 mainly reflects the challenges faced by its fixed income portfolio, which was managed by the Core Plus Team, and that the underperformance in 2008 was a combination of exposure to the commercial and residential mortgages and turbulent capital markets, which impacted the Fund’s longer term track record. The Board also noted the appointment of a new portfolio manager and a newly formed Investment Grade Fixed Income team on April 1, 2009 to oversee the Fund’s investments.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were lower than its peer group median although actual management fees were higher its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee schedule was equal to the management fee schedule for the Oppenheimer Balanced Fund. The Board also considered that, effective September 1, 2007, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed 0.67% for Non-Service Shares and 0.92% for Service Shares. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive 0.08% of its management fee effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time after March 31, 2010.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA’s Non-Service shares produced a 44.52% return, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Index”) and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 37.21% and 26.47%, respectively. The Fund outperformed the Index in seven out of ten sectors during the reporting period.
The global recession that defined 2008 continued in the first half of 2009, as unemployment rates climbed, housing prices slumped and consumer confidence remained depressed. The economic downturn had been intensified by a global banking crisis that led to the failures of several major financial institutions and nearly frozen conditions in some credit markets. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reduced short-term interest rates aggressively, including a cut in mid-December 2008 that drove its target for the overnight federal funds rate to an unprecedented low of 0% to 0.25%.
Pronounced signs of economic weakness persisted through the first half of 2009. After declining in the fourth quarter of 2008, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) continued to decline in the first and second quarters of 2009, falling by 6.4% and 0.7%, respectively. January 2009’s economic news included a sharp decline in housing prices compared to one year earlier. In February and March, the U.S. economy lost more than 600,000 jobs in each month and consumer confidence dropped sharply. In early March, the U.S. stock market hit a multi-year low.
Investor sentiment soon began to improve as evidence appeared that global credit markets were thawing in response to massive remedial efforts by U.S. government and monetary authorities. The U.S. government enacted the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was designed to retain and create jobs, provide budget relief to states and localities, maintain social programs and offer tax relief to businesses and individuals.
As it became clearer that these remedial measures had helped to avert a collapse of the U.S. banking system and with historically low valuations, equities began an impressive rally that began in March 2009 and continued through the end of the reporting period. While volatility persisted, most global equity markets ended the reporting period with substantial gains.
For the first time since the second quarter of 2008, GDP growth was once again positive in the third quarter of 2009, increasing at a modest rate. The initial estimates for 2009 fourth quarter GDP signaled a faster rate of growth for the economy heading into 2010. Nevertheless, some of the lagging indicators, such as unemployment figures, continued to be troubling and hovered at around 10% in the U.S. The housing market continued to slump through the end of the reporting period and consumer confidence remained shaky. Despite the strong equity market gains in the second half of the reporting period, wariness persisted about the economic landscape for 2010. Given the perceived fragility of the economic recovery, the Fed consistently maintained its low target for short-term interest rates through the reporting period’s end.
In terms of contributors to Fund performance, the Fund fared particularly well within the financials, information technology and telecommunication services sectors. Within financials, the Fund benefited from better relative stock selection versus the Index. The Fund’s overweight position in the sector, which performed well for the Index in the midst of the market rebound, also contributed to relative results. Individual securities which benefited performance included BM&F BOVESPA SA, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG and MSCI, Inc. The Fund’s overweight position in these securities helped performance.
In information technology, stronger relative stock selection as well as an overweight position resulted in the Fund’s outperformance within the sector. Research In Motion Ltd., Google, Inc., NVIDIA Corp., NetApp, Inc. and Broadcom Corp. were among the top performing securities for the Fund in the sector. These securities outperformed during the reporting period, and our overweight position in each of them contributed positively to the Fund’s performance.
The Fund outperformed the Index in telecommunication services primarily as a result of its stock selection strategy. Overweight positions in strong performing stocks Crown Castle International Corp. and NII Holdings, Inc. provided strong relative results for the Fund. In terms of other sectors, the Fund also outperformed in the consumer staples, industrials and utilities sectors by underweighting these weaker performing sectors of the Index for the period.
On the negative side, the Fund underperformed the Index within consumer discretionary and healthcare. Within consumer discretionary, Apollo Group, Inc. had a difficult reporting period and detracted from results. An underweight position in Amazon.com, Inc. also hurt relative performance, as the stock performed well for the Index. Within healthcare,

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION Continued
the Fund’s overweight in the biotechnology subsector hurt relative performance while relative stock selection in the healthcare equipment and supplies subsector underperformed the Index. The Fund’s performance in materials was roughly neutral compared to the Index.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund had overweight positions in energy, financials, information technology, telecommunication services, materials and healthcare with underweight positions in consumer staples and industrials in particular, followed by consumer discretionary and utilities. Within utilities, the Fund held no securities at period end. Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on September 18, 2001. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graph assumes that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, an unmanaged index of 1,000 U.S. large cap growth stocks. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service shares | | | 0.81 | % |
Service shares | | | 1.06 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing in securities of well-known, established companies. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized
F10 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
4. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

|
Investment securities | | $ | 580,921,828 | | | $ | 662,865,939 | |
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Over $800 million | | | 0.60 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $810,330 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed
F14 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA
the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $5,625 and $3,973 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $17,933 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
6. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
7. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
F15 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
7. Pending Litigation Continued
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff “) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Marc Baylin, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other large-cap growth funds underlying
8 | OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA
variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s ten-year performance was better than its peer group median although its one-year, three-year, and five-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board noted the Fund’s recent performance, ranking in the 35th percentile of its Lipper peer group for the four-month period ended April 30, 2009.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other large-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were competitive with its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed the annual rates of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA’s Non-Service shares returned 9.61%, outperforming the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), which returned 5.93%. Additionally, the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index returned 5.06% while the Barclays Capital Credit Index returned 16.04% for the reporting period. The Fund underperformed the Index in the first quarter of 2009, during a period of significant upheaval in the credit markets. Fund performance in the first quarter was hampered by declines in the Fund’s positions in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and certain derivative instruments, such as credit default and interest rate swaps. After a portfolio management change in April 2009, the Fund’s performance improved, leading to the eventual outperformance versus the Index.
Economic activity in the U.S. stabilized as the reporting period progressed, with many important sectors of the economy demonstrating marked improvements over the depressed levels reached earlier in 2009. For the first time since the second quarter of 2008, GDP growth was once again positive in the third quarter of 2009, increasing at a modest rate. The initial estimates for 2009 fourth quarter GDP signaled a faster rate of growth for the economy heading into 2010. Credit conditions continued to become less oppressive, national home prices posted their first quarterly gains in three years, and consumer spending gained, driven in part by government subsidies in the automobile sector and government programs aimed at supporting the housing market. Talk of a “v-shaped” recovery in the U.S. gained traction later in the reporting period as key national manufacturing and industrial production reports rose to levels consistent with a growth cycle that would outpace the recoveries following the past two recessions.
Despite the increased optimism and renewed risk appetite from investors, economic data still remained mixed. The growth of the roughly 30% of the economy that isn’t directly consumer-related-including government spending and trade-outstripped the roughly 70% that is. The consumer continued to face headwinds with employment further contracting throughout the period, albeit at a much slower pace at period end. Unemployment figures continued to be troubling and hovered at around 10% in the U.S. and housing market data continued to show fits and starts in moving towards a recovery for the housing sector. Consumer confidence bounced off record lows but remained well below historical averages. Given the perceived fragility of the economic recovery, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained its low target for short-term interest rates through the reporting period’s end.
The Fund’s exposure to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and corporate bonds was the primary driver of positive performance. Our overweight to residential MBS, comprised mainly of agency MBS, aided performance as this sector performed well due in large part to government programs aimed at supporting the housing market. Agency mortgages are typically packaged and resold by government sponsored enterprises including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as MBS. Specifically, the Fed has committed to purchasing agency MBS in an effort to keep mortgage rates low. Non-agency MBS, which are securitized by non-government institutions such as large banks, also performed well for the Fund, particularly in the second half of the period. The Fund was also overweight to CMBS, which performed well for the period, despite ongoing headline risk in this sector. In the fourth quarter, we reduced our overweight to the CMBS sector and took profits.
Over the course of the reporting period, we increased our allocation to corporate bonds, moving from a neutral position at the end of the second quarter of 2009 to an overweight position by the end of the third quarter of 2009. This benefited the Fund as investment grade corporate and BB-rated corporate bonds performed well in the second half of the period. Credit spreads, or the risk premium to comparable U.S. Treasuries, continued to narrow. Credit spreads have narrowed dramatically since hitting their widest point back in December of 2008.
Within the corporate sector, we remained overweight relative to the Index in financials. In the third quarter of 2009, industrial spreads narrowed, and we reduced exposure to this sector while we increased our exposure to financials. During the reporting period, we increased our allocation to the higher quality end of high yield corporate bonds. High yield bonds extended their strong gains in the second half of the reporting period, particularly in the third quarter of 2009. The gap between the yield on these bonds and Treasuries narrowed.
We remained significantly underweight U.S. Treasuries and federal agency bonds and other federal agency debt instruments (“federal agencies”). Although these sectors generated positive returns at times during the period, we had a greater level of exposure at period end to other areas, such as agency MBS. We believe agency MBS provide high credit quality

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
and a potentially more attractive risk/return profile. Despite being underweight Treasuries and federal agencies, the average credit quality of the Fund finished the period at AA.
While we do not have any immediate inflation concerns, rising prices may be an inevitable future reality. And although many areas of the economy remain weak, credit markets have improved dramatically from a year ago when many markets were completely frozen. Investor appetite for riskier assets, and the higher yields these assets typically offer, have driven up prices in most fixed income markets. Given the sharp rally in 2009 in many riskier assets, future returns may be driven by fundamentals. Meanwhile, U.S. companies continue to take advantage of lower rates and hospitable credit markets by issuing bonds to raise funds. Despite the run-up in prices last year, we still believe there are areas of the market that remain attractive.
We expect the U.S. economy will continue to improve, albeit at a measured pace. And, with interest rates at essentially zero, inevitably they must rise. However, we do not believe the Fed will raise interest rates in the near term. The Fed has signaled that it will keep interest rates low for an “extended period” given inflation trends and in an effort to stimulate growth. Within the mortgage sector, the Fed’s commitment to purchase approximately $1.25 trillion worth of mortgage-backed securities is set to expire at the end of March 2010. This program has kept mortgage rates low, which has helped support the housing sector. Although credit remains tight, lower mortgage rates did spark refinancing. While spreads may widen as the program draws to a close, we believe underlying support from the government is likely if the success of the program begins to reverse course.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on May 1, 2002. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graph assumes that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index, an index of institutionally traded U.S. Treasury Bonds, government-sponsored bonds, mortgage-backed securities and corporate securities, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad-based index of government agencies and corporate debt, and the Barclays Capital Credit Index, an index of non-convertible U.S. investment grade corporate bonds. The indices’ performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the indices.

Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investments in: The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results.
The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service shares | | | 0.60 | % |
Service shares | | | 0.85 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Footnotes to Statement of Investments
| | |
1. | | Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security. |
|
2. | | Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $12,248,497 or 6.30% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
|
3. | | Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of December 31, 2009 was $3,459,432, which represents 1.78% of the Fund’s net assets. See Note 6 of accompanying Notes. |
|
4. | | All or a portion of the security is held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts. The aggregate market value of such securities is $699,315. See Note 5 of accompanying Notes. |
|
5. | | Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $11,757,349 or 6.05% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
|
6. | | The current amortization rate of the security’s cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change. |
|
7. | | Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $430,320 or 0.22% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
|
8. | | When-issued security or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2009. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes. |
|
9. | | This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest. Rate reported represents the current interest rate for this variable rate security. |
|
10. | | Non-income producing security. |
|
11. | | Rate shown is the 7-day yield as of December 31, 2009. |
|
12. | | Interest rate is less than 0.0005%. |
|
13. | | Is or was an affiliate, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, at or during the period ended December 31, 2009, by virtue of the Fund owning at least 5% of the voting securities of the issuer or as a result of the Fund and the issuer having the same investment adviser. Transactions during the period in which the issuer was an affiliate are as follows: |

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) | | Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Level 3– | | | | |

F16 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation when consistent with its primary objective. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
| | | | |
| | When-Issued or Delayed | |
| | Delivery Basis Transactions | |
|
Purchased securities | | $ | 58,841,938 | |
The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.
Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign
F18 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investment in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of LAF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $1 billion | | | 0.60 | % |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.50 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $118,576 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
F22 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed $3,182 and $2,460 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.18% of the Fund’s average annual net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $254,480. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and may be withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $25,066. for IMMF management fees.
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
F23 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of December 31, 2009 the Fund has not required certain counterparties to post collateral.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund has several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s ISDA master agreements which govern positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.
As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability position was $65,987 for which collateral was not posted by the Fund. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2009, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counter-parties. If the Fund fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities posted as collateral will be made available to the counterparty. Cash posted as collateral for these contracts, if any, is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities posted as collateral, if any, are reported on the Statement of Investments.

Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
| | The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk. |
F25 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. | | Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued |
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by contracts in unrealized appreciation and depreciation positions. Upfront payments paid or received, if any, affect the value of the respective swap. Therefore, to determine the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps, upfront payments paid should be subtracted from, while upfront payments received should be added to, the value of contracts reported as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Conversely, upfront payments paid should be added to, while upfront payments received should be subtracted from the value of contracts reported as a liability. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps require little or no initial cash investment, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.
The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes.
The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements.
The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.

Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments received by the Fund under the swap agreement will be greater than the payments made by the Fund.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no such interest rate swap agreements outstanding.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and, or, include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay, or receive payments, to, or from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no such total return swap agreements outstanding.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2009, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.

7. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no securities on loan.
8. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
9. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the
F28 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.
10. Acquisition of Government Securities Portfolio
On April 30, 2008, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Government Securities Portfolio, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Government Securities Portfolio shareholders on April 25, 2008. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Krishna Memani and Peter Strzalkowski the portfolio managers for the Fund effective April 2009, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other A-rated corporate debt funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board noted the Manager’s assertion that the Fund’s underperformance in 2008 was a combination of a greater exposure to commercial and residential mortgages and investment grade financials relative to its
8 | OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA
peers and turbulent capital markets, which impacted the Fund’s longer term track record. The Board also noted the appointment of a new portfolio manager and the newly formed Investment Grade Fixed Income team on April 1, 2009 to oversee the Fund’s investments, and it considered the Manager’s assertion that the Fund has reduced its positions in commercial mortgages and certain residential mortgages and investment grade financials.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other A-rated corporate debt funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were competitive with its peer group median although its actual management fees were higher than its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive 0.18% of its management fee effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time after March 31, 2010.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund’s Non-Service shares returned 39.77%, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, which returned 29.99%. The reporting period began with near panic in the financial markets. For the first quarter of 2009, there was a very real fear that the world economy might be heading towards the conditions experienced during the Great Depression. As credit dried up and consumer confidence collapsed, global economic activity slowed dramatically or went into reverse as many large financial institutions disappeared or neared bankruptcy.
Central bankers and governments did not sit idly by. Last year, we maintained that with the help of government intervention, the financial system would stabilize, risk premiums would fall, loans would be made available to qualified businesses and consumers, and the global economy would largely recover. The scale of government intervention has been unprecedented, and while the long-term impacts are still to be assessed, we believe the ‘medicine’ has clearly helped and we are now in the early stages of an economic recovery. However, we continue to anticipate, as we did a year ago, that the recovery will be a slow process.
Given our relatively sanguine view last year that there would be a fairly robust market recovery sooner rather than later, we did not panic with regard to our portfolio during this bout of extreme market volatility. We instead stuck to our investment principles. As a result, we were able to produce results that were well ahead of the benchmark over the reporting period.
Our approach is essentially bottom-up and based on a stock’s fundamentals. Sector and country allocation are also primarily driven by stock selection; we do not make changes to the portfolio because of sweeping top-down asset or country allocation decisions, although we tend to avoid jurisdictions where we believe the legal structures appear inadequate to provide shareholder protection. Currently, we tend to favor securities located in open economies, such as the United States, Japan and the U.K., which have high-quality companies and feature significant innovation.
The decisions we make regarding the construction of our portfolio are based on how best to seek strong absolute performance in our view, and not necessarily the latest trend our benchmark or peers are moving towards. When we purchase a stock, we do so in the belief that it has the potential to at least double within our long-term time-frame, which we generally deem to be three to five years. We believe very strongly that real earnings growth drives stock prices and as such, we typically seek companies that we believe are capable of achieving sustainable and strong earnings growth over long periods of time.
Our process is driven by a number of powerful, long-term economic, demographic and technological forces that we summarize in the themes of our MANTRA (Mass Affluence, New Technologies, Restructuring and Aging). We invest in companies that we believe are capable of generating long-term, durable (not cyclical), strong growth that is driven by the powerful structural change derived from our MANTRA themes. Typically these companies generate high returns on invested capital that we believe is generally indicative of meaningful and sustainable competitive advantage. We place particular emphasis on the financial strength of companies with a strong focus on cash flow. In addition, we invest in companies where we believe management is not only highly capable, but also runs the company for the benefit of all shareholders.
Although there are many tens of thousands of companies listed on stock exchanges globally, there are many fewer that have the characteristics that we seek. This is where we concentrate our attention when building our portfolio. A very important part of our strategy is patience. Because we set certain targets for ourselves when buying a stock, we are willing to wait until we believe these targets are achievable. We like to buy when companies are out-of-favor with the market.
The Fund’s investment strategy focuses on seeking to identify long-term structural growth stocks—companies that have durable long-term earnings and good cash-flow characteristics, strong economic returns on invested capital, and healthy balance sheets. We think this long-term thematic approach to investing remains ideal for building capital over the long term. We also expect to stick to our contrarian nature in terms of stock acquisition: buying good names when they appear neglected and out-of-fashion. Our focus on quality franchises remains the bedrock of the Fund.
We have made few major changes to the portfolio over 2009. We have added very selectively to quality financials sector stocks, while retaining an underweight stance to the sector overall. We see real opportunities in many U.S. healthcare insurers, which have massive free cash flows and low multiples; also, we believe the existing structure, as is, will necessarily form the basis of any healthcare reform package. We have also added to our exposure to consumer staples, notably Nestle SA and

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Unilever plc, both of which we believe have exciting growth prospects in emerging markets, while slightly trimming our consumer discretionary holdings. We still remain substantially overweight in consumer discretionary as we continue to find many excellent long-term growth stories.
We do not plan to stray from our underweight stance in the energy and materials sectors in the near future. We view the recent firming of commodity prices as a recovery from an oversold position, a sign of growing appetite for risk, and a reaction to the weakness of the U.S. dollar. At period end, the fundamentals of supply and demand do not appear to support any sustained material upside move in commodity prices.
Our fundamental, bottom-up approach, which seeks long-term, sustainable and superior growth, has currently led us to focus on the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. This is where we are finding the most companies with the characteristics that we seek. Indeed, we had approximately 45% of the Fund invested in these two sectors as of December 31, 2009, compared to the benchmark’s roughly 20% allocation. So, it is particularly encouraging that these two sectors were the biggest positive contributors to performance over the period.
Within information technology, the biggest contributors were Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, our largest holding at period end, Infosys Technologies Ltd., the Indian software company, U.S.-based Juniper Networks, Inc., semiconductor firm MediaTek, Inc., internet service company eBay, Inc. and Corning, Inc., a specialty glass and ceramics producer that serves the technology industry. All of these firms were among the top ten positive contributors to overall Fund performance. Among consumer discretionary companies, we had positive contributions from a wide array of holdings, such as retailers Hennes & Mauritz AB (which we exited) and Tiffany & Co. Other contributors included Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) AG and luxury goods companies LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA and Tod’s SpA, an Italian company which manufactures shoes and other leather goods.
Our other major overweight sector at period end was industrials, where we found many companies within our restructuring theme. Industrials was a positive contributor to performance, with a particular strong showing by Assa Abloy AB, a Swedish company that is a leading manufacturer and supplier of locks. Our energy stock selection, which had detracted from Fund performance during the first half of the period, experienced a strong rebound and ended the reporting period strongly outperforming the Index. Technip SA, Europe’s second-largest provider of oil-field services, was the largest contributor to performance. The Fund also handily outperformed in the consumer staples sector as a result of better relative stock selection.
On the flip side, materials, a sector where we were underweight at period end, detracted from performance. It was a real rollercoaster period for this sector. As the commodity and energy bubble burst, the sector was very weak through March 2009. But as prices have recovered, materials was the top performing sector for the Index in terms of total return. Thus, our substantial underweight in materials hurt relative performance. We are, however, maintaining our underweight position in materials as the fundamentals of supply and demand in a slow growth world do not appear to support another big run-up in this sector.
At the country level, the stellar performance of technology stocks moved the United States into the top position in terms of positive contributors to performance. As a region, Europe was the top contributor to Fund performance, with solid contributors coming from France, Germany, and Sweden, among others. Latin America also performed very well for the Fund, with Brazil and Mexico leading the way, as did Asia excluding Japan, primarily due to India and Taiwan providing the bulk of the returns. On the negative tack, our underweights in Australia and Canada detracted from overall performance, as did our overweight position to Japan.
The global outlook continues to be mixed as much of the global economy seems poised to transition from a state of “less bad” to sustained growth. On the plus side, we see some increases in investor participation and a return of risk appetite as economic data shows movement from the depressed levels of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. We are encouraged by early signs of stabilization in the housing and employment markets and improvement in consumer confidence.
The U.S. financial sector also looks better as many U.S. banks repaid their TARP monies and recapitalized via issuance of new equity. Much of the de-stocking process is over, and commodity prices are up. Additionally, we are witnessing a pick up in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity as buyers take advantage of low valuations and low interest rates to strengthen their competitive positions and significantly rationalize cost structures. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
4 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND/VA
Development (OECD) index of leading indicators demonstrated continued improvement across both the Eurozone and the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Bond yields remain low and economic stimuli continue to be deployed globally. Global trade has evinced signs of resurgence, pointing to a consequent recovery in manufacturing output.
Nevertheless, we still perceive many reasons for continued concern. Unemployment is at record levels and growth in personal income is missing from the recovery so far. Government stimulus programs such as “Cash for Clunkers” may ultimately have but limited effects on personal consumption. It is clear that we are in the midst of a prolonged de-leveraging process with ongoing contraction in consumer credit.
Questions also remain regarding financial institutions’ exposure to the troubled commercial real-estate sector. While the economy is benefiting from the massive fiscal and monetary stimuli, at what point will higher interest rates and/or higher taxes have to reflect the long-term impact of a budget deficit approaching 13% of U.S. GDP? Increasing government involvement in the economy, greater regulation, and signs of protectionism also represent potential threats to growth.
While the exact shape of recovery is yet unknown, we remain conservative in our assumptions: de-leveraging, at least in the developed world and at both the personal and corporate levels, has a long way to run. This will restrain demand and, thus, growth. It is also clear that the crisis is putting considerable pressure on companies to adapt via cost-cutting and aggressive competition. As a result, the gap between the strong and the weak will grow; hence, our emphasis is on picking and sticking with what we believe are winners. Clearly, the markets have rallied strongly from their March 2009 lows and it would not be surprising if we were to see some sort of short-term correction. We believe that the Fund is positioned to help it weather any ‘shocks’ that may occur and, more importantly, to help it prosper as markets move higher. In the slow growth world that we are anticipating, companies that are capable of this sort of growth will be a scarcer commodity. As such they should command a much higher premium to the market than they have traditionally enjoyed in the past. This premium is generally lacking at the moment as the early stages of the current bull market have been led by those companies that were most distressed in the downturn. In our opinion, when, as it surely must, this premium emerges we believe it bodes extremely well for this portfolio which is full of quality growth stocks.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on July 13, 2000. In the case of Class 3 shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on May 1, 2003. In the case of Class 4 shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on May 3, 2004. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities listed on stock exchanges of a select number of foreign countries and the U.S. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing a substantial portion of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, “growth-type” companies, cyclical industries and special situations that are considered to have appreciation possibilities. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shares. All classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares being designated as Service shares and Class 4 shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. The Fund assesses a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund or other investment option offered through your variable life insurance or variable annuity contract) within 60 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
F12 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND/VA
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of LAF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. | | As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had $79,199,153 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforward(s) were as follows: |
| | | | |
Expiring | | | | |
|
2017 | | $ | 79,199,153 | |

2. | | The Fund had $77,800 of post-October foreign currency losses which were deferred. |
|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
4. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

| | | |
Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

(the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares and Class 4 shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares and Class 4 shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares and Class 4 shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares and Class 4 shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service and Class 3 shares and 1.25% for Service and Class 4 shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $21,125 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in
F17 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts Continued
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.
6. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no securities on loan.
7. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
F18 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND/VA
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Capital gain distributions of $0.4797 per share were paid to Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shareholders, respectively, on March 9, 2009. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 31% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $3,397,616 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $30,874,965 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Rajeev Bhaman, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
12 | OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND/VA
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other global growth funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, five-year and ten-year performance was better than its peer group median although its three-year performance was below its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other global growth funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were lower than its expense group median. The Board also noted that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed 1.00% for Non-Service and Class 3 shares and 1.25% for Service and Class 4 shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA’s Non-Service shares returned 25.32%, underperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index (the “Index”), which returned 56.28%. The Fund’s underperformance versus the Index was most pronounced in the first quarter of 2009, during a period of significant upheaval in the credit markets. Fund performance declined in the first quarter primarily due to the portfolio’s exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), swaps and other derivative instruments, and investment-grade credit comprised mainly of financial names, as these investments underperformed in a difficult market environment. After a portfolio management change in April 2009, the Fund’s performance improved and was much more in line with that of the Index.
Economic activity in the U.S. further stabilized as the reporting period progressed, with many important sectors of the economy demonstrating marked improvements over the depressed levels reached earlier in 2009. For the first time since the second quarter of 2008, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth was once again positive in the third quarter of 2009, increasing at a modest rate. The initial estimates for 2009 fourth quarter GDP signaled a faster rate of growth for the economy heading into 2010. Credit conditions continued to become less oppressive, national home prices posted their first quarterly gains in three years, and consumer spending gained, driven in part by government subsidies in the automobile sector and government programs aimed at supporting the housing market. Talk of a “v-shaped” recovery in the U.S. gained traction later in the reporting period as key national manufacturing and industrial production reports rose to levels consistent with a growth cycle that would outpace the recoveries following the past two recessions.
Despite the welcomed optimism and renewed risk appetite from investors, economic data still remained mixed. The growth of the roughly 30% of the economy that isn’t directly consumer-related-including government spending and trade-outstripped the roughly 70% that is. The consumer continued to face headwinds with employment further contracting throughout the period, albeit at a much slower pace at period end. Unemployment figures continued to be troubling and hovered at around 10% in the U.S. and housing market data continued to show fits and starts in moving towards a recovery for the housing sector. Consumer confidence bounced off record lows but remained well below historical averages. Given the perceived fragility of the economic recovery, the Fed consistently maintained its low target for short-term interest rates through the reporting period’s end.
After a weak first quarter, the high yield market’s performance was particularly strong in the second and third quarters of 2009. The yield spread between high yield corporate bonds and U.S. Treasuries, one measure of the risk premium in the market, fell significantly. An increased appetite for risk was further illustrated within high yield over the second half of the year, as bonds rated CCC outperformed those rated BB by almost threefold in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, CCC bonds outperformed those rated BB by roughly twofold as the rally in the high yield market continued, albeit at a slower pace.
The bullish sentiment behind this rally was mainly supported by two factors: improving economic data and robust investor demand for the large quantities of new supply being issued by companies. Continued strength in new issuance was evident as approximately $52 billion was brought to market in the third quarter alone, nearly matching the number for all of 2008.
The Fund’s improved performance, particularly in the last half of the reporting period, was primarily driven by successful security selection in the chemicals sector as well as overweights to food/beverage/tobacco and broadcasting/cable, which were among the top performing areas for the Index in the latter half of 2009. In terms of the relative underperformance for the year, in addition to the factors described above regarding CMBS, derivative instruments and investment grade credit underperforming in the first quarter, performance lagged due to a significant cash position held in the first half of 2009, as the new portfolio manager repositioned the Fund to once again become fully invested.
At period end, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the Index were in the areas of food/beverage/tobacco, aerospace and broadcasting/cable, based on our belief that these industries continue to offer attractive valuations. The Fund’s most significant underweights at period end were in the areas of financials, housing and retail as we suspect they could continue to struggle due to pressures on the constrained consumer.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Despite the high yield rally in 2009, we remain cautious. While economic data continues to improve, high unemployment and eventual lessening of government support programs may hinder growth. As a result, we continue to believe that opportunities in 2010 may be achieved more through specific credit selection. This type of environment should play well to the Fund’s fundamental, value-oriented process, which evaluates market opportunities on a security-by-security basis.
As a reminder, as of April 2009, Joseph Welsh was named portfolio manager, and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Mr. Welsh also leads the High Yield Corporate Debt team, which was created the same month. The team focuses on a fundamental, security-by-security/value-oriented analysis and has fully repositioned the Fund’s holdings to reflect the team’s investment philosophy and market views.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on September 18, 2001. In the case of Class 3 and Class 4 shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on May 1, 2007. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate and government bonds that is a measure of the performance of the high-yield corporate bond market. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Class 4 | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,021.37 | | | | 3.88 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
| |
Non-Service shares | | | 0.49 | % |
Service shares | | | 0.74 | |
Class 3 | | | 0.49 | |
Class 4 | | | 0.76 | |
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-grade, fixed-income securities that the Fund’s investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”), believes does not involve undue risk.
The Fund offers Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shares. All classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares being designated as Service shares and Class 4 shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. The Fund assesses a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund or other investment option offered through your variable life insurance or variable annuity contract) within 60 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
F16 | OPPENHEIMER HIGH INCOME FUND/VA
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis.” When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
| | | | |
| | When-Issued or Delayed | |
| | Delivery Basis Transactions | |
|
Purchased securities | | $ | 1,287,000 | |
The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.
Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. Information concerning securities in default as of December 31, 2009 is as follows:
| | | | |
Cost | | $ | 8,750,458 | |
Market Value | | $ | 630,501 | |
Market Value as a % of Net Assets | | | 0.44 | % |
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
4. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
5. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, $22,696,701 of unused capital loss carryforward expired. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the
F20 | OPPENHEIMER HIGH INCOME FUND/VA
normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.60 | |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.50 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $86,434 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares and Class 4 shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares and Class 4 shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares and Class 4 shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares and Class 4 shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares and Class 4 shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009, the Manager had voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance was in the fifth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $89,094 in advisory fees as a result of this voluntary arrangement.
Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.26% of the Fund’s average annual net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $259,162. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.
Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service and Class 3 shares and 1.00% for Service and Class 4 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $70,878, $69,417, $5,175, and $6,717 for Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shares, respectively. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $24,657 for IMMF management fees.
Capital Stock Activity. On December 17, 2008, the Manager purchased Non-Service Shares of the Fund for $50,000,000. As of that date, the Manager owned approximately 51% of the Non-Service Shares representing approximately 37% of the Fund’s net assets. The Manager redeemed this investment on February 25, 2009. The proceeds of the redemption were $48,344,371.

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the

derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of December 31, 2009 the Fund has not required certain counterparties to post collateral.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund has several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s ISDA master agreements which govern positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.
As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability position was $26,579 for which collateral was not posted by the Fund. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2009, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. If the Fund fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities posted as collateral will be made available to the counterparty. Cash posted as collateral for these contract, if any, is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities posted as collateral, if any, are reported on the Statement of Investments.

Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.
Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by contracts in unrealized appreciation and depreciation positions. Upfront payments paid or received, if any, affect the value of the respective swap. Therefore, to determine the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps, upfront payments paid should be subtracted from, while upfront payments received should be added to, the value of contracts reported as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Conversely, upfront payments paid should be added to, while upfront payments received should be subtracted from the value of contracts reported as a liability. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps require little or no initial cash investment, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.
The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes.
The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements.
The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments received by the Fund under the swap agreement will be greater than the payments made by the Fund.
F26 | OPPENHEIMER HIGH INCOME FUND/VA
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no such interest rate swap agreements outstanding.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and, or, include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay, or receive payments, to, or from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the fund to pay, or receive payments, to, or from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no such total return swap agreements outstanding.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2009, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
7. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
F27 | OPPENHEIMER HIGH INCOME FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
8. Pending Litigation Continued
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 0.02% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Joesph Welsh, the portfolio manager for the Fund effective April 1, 2009, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
10 | OPPENHEIMER HIGH INCOME FUND/VA
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other high current yield funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board considered the Manager’s assertion that the Fund’s underperformance in 2008 was a combination of a severe downturn in the high yield fixed income markets and a greater exposure to commercial and residential mortgages and investment grade financials relative to its peers. The Board also noted the appointment of a new portfolio manager and the newly formed High Yield Corporate Debt team on April 1, 2009 to oversee the Fund’s investments, and it considered the Manager’s assertion that the Fund has reduced its positions in commercial mortgages.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other high current yield funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were competitive with its peer group median although its actual management fees were higher than its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board noted that for the period of September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009, the Manager voluntarily reduced its advisory fee by 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed the annual rates of 0.75% for Non-Service and Class 3 shares and 1.00% for Service and Class 4 shares. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive 0.26% of its management fee effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time after March 31, 2010.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2009, the Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 28.29%, which was higher than that of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 26.47%. The Fund fared particularly well over the first half of the year, when an emphasis on economically sensitive market sectors helped it participate more fully in the early stages of a sustained market rally. For the full fiscal year, the Fund outperformed in seven of the S&P 500 Index’s ten market sectors.
Economic and Market Overview. 2009 was a year of recovery for the U.S. economy and stock market. In the wake of a global financial crisis that had exacerbated an economic downturn in 2008, the year began in a highly challenging investment environment, as rising unemployment, falling housing values and nearly frozen credit markets took their toll on investor sentiment. As a result, stock prices generally fell to multi-year lows during the first quarter of the year.
However, investor sentiment began to improve in March, as aggressive measures adopted by U.S. government and monetary authorities began to gain traction. By the end of 2008, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) had reduced short-term interest-rates to unprecedented low levels and injected massive amounts of liquidity into the banking system. Early in 2009, the U.S. government rescued struggling automakers and passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a $787 billion stimulus program designed to support infrastructure construction activity, provide tax breaks to consumers and send aid to stressed state governments.
When credit markets showed signs of thawing in March, previously risk-averse investors began to search for bargains among companies that may have been too severely punished during the downturn. They found such opportunities mainly among lower quality and highly leveraged companies, including some of the financial institutions at the epicenter of the financial crisis. Soon thereafter, investors began to see evidence of economic improvement, and they turned to companies that tend to do well in the early stages of an economic recovery.
Although the U.S. economy continued to shed jobs over the remainder of 2009, other economic indicators gradually improved. Manufacturing activity increased as producers sought to replenish depleted inventories and satisfy demand for exports to faster-growing overseas markets. Home prices began to creep higher in some hard-hit markets. Corporate earnings compared favorably to their levels from one year earlier. As a result, by year-end, every sector of the S&P 500 Index had posted a gain, with the information technology sector leading the way.
Fund Strategy. Through mid-May 2009, the Fund was managed according to a quantitative process that considered a number of economic and company-specific factors to rank stocks. Because these models had assigned high rankings to companies in economically sensitive industry groups, the Fund performed well during the early stages of the market rally. The Fund held overweight exposure to the information technology and energy sectors, but the models identified relatively few opportunities in the traditionally defensive consumer staples sector.
With a new portfolio management team taking the reins in May 2009, we dramatically reduced the number of Fund holdings from more than 500 stocks to less than 75. This reduction occurred as we implemented a bottom-up investment process that combines fundamental research and quantitative models to identify companies that are attractively priced relative to their underlying business prospects. Our approach seeks companies in which the measurable potential upside is typically at least two times the downside.
Our process identified a number of winners between May and year-end. For example, electronics innovator Apple, Inc. (at period end, the Fund’s second largest holding) surged on the strength of popular products, such as the iPhone. Online media giant Google, Inc. more than doubled its stock price as investors looked forward to greater advertising spending in the economic recovery. In the energy sector, an underweight position in laggard Exxon Mobil Corp. and overweight exposure to stronger performing Occidental Petroleum Corp. (at period end, the Fund’s fourth largest holding) helped to bolster the Fund’s results. The Fund also benefited from rising commodity prices through an investment in low-cost metals producer Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., which we exited by period end.
Relative strength among these investments was offset to a degree by disappointments in other areas, including the consumer discretionary, health care and industrials sectors. Advance Auto Parts, Inc.’s stock price suffered as investors turned to less traditionally defensive stocks despite the retailer’s improving business fundamentals. Financial company State Street Corp. lagged due to quarterly shortfalls in its foreign exchange and securities lending businesses, which we

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
believe represent temporary setbacks for a high-quality company with more potential for gains than risk of declines. The Fund did not own internet retailer Amazon.com, Inc., which posted a sizeable gain for the benchmark. In the health care sector, for most of the reporting period the Fund did not own the stock of drug developer Schering-Plough Corp., which benefited from its acquisition by a larger rival, nor did it own construction machinery producer Caterpillar, Inc., which was a strong performer in the industrials sector. Finally, costs associated with the transition of the Fund to our investment process weighed on its relative performance.
As of year-end, we have been encouraged by evidence that investors are turning their attention away from beaten-down bargains among low-quality companies and toward businesses with strong fundamentals. Although we manage the Fund using a bottom-up stock selection process and not according to broad economic trends, it is worth noting that the recovery has been relatively mild, and investors now appear to be favoring companies with the underlying strength required to support earnings growth in a sluggish economy. In our judgment, our fundamentals-based approach may be particularly well suited to such an environment. Indeed, finding opportunities among companies likely to thrive over the long term is “fundamental” to what makes Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA part of The Right Way to Invest.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on July 13, 2000. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. equity securities. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service Shares | | | 0.81 | % |
Service Shares | | | 1.06 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high total return from equity and debt securities. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investment in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of LAF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
F10 | OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND/VA
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. | | As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had $550,173,657 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows: |

|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
|
Investment securities | | $ | 1,834,666,253 | | | $ | 2,021,625,599 | |
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Over $800 million | | | 0.60 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $904,193 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $16,605 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.
6. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no securities on loan.
7. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

8. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Manind Govil and Benjamin Ram the portfolio managers for the Fund effective May 2009, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s
7 | OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND/VA
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other large-cap core funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s three-year and ten-year performance was better than or competitive with its peer group median although its one-year and five-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board considered the Manager’s assertion that stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector and an underweight in the health care and consumer staple sectors contributed to the Fund’s underperformance in 2008. The Board noted that the Fund’s recent improved performance, ranking in the top quintile during the fourth-month period ended April 30, 2009. The Board also noted a change to the Fund’s portfolio management team on May 19, 2009.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other large-cap core funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were competitive with its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2009, Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 37.20%, significantly higher than that of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), which returned 27.17%. We attribute the Fund’s relative outperformance to a successful stock selection strategy during the period and second to a successful sector allocation strategy, as overweight exposure to the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors enabled the Fund to participate more fully in the 2009 stock market rally.
Economic and Market Overview. 2009 was a year of recovery for the U.S. economy and stock market. In the wake of a global financial crisis that had exacerbated an economic downturn in 2008, the year began in a highly challenging investment environment, as rising unemployment, falling housing values and nearly frozen credit markets took their toll on investor sentiment. As a result, stock prices generally fell to multi-year lows during the first quarter of the year.
However, investor sentiment started to improve in March, when aggressive measures adopted by U.S. government and monetary authorities began to gain traction. By the end of 2008, the Federal Reserve Board had reduced short-term interest-rates to unprecedented low levels and injected massive amounts of liquidity into the banking system. Early in 2009, the U.S. government rescued struggling automakers and passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a $787 billion stimulus program designed to support infrastructure construction activity, provide tax breaks to consumers and send aid to stressed state governments.
When credit markets showed signs of thawing in March, previously risk-averse investors began to search for bargains among companies that may have been too severely punished during the bear market. They found such opportunities mainly among lower quality and highly leveraged companies, including some of the small-cap financial companies that were damaged by the financial crisis. Soon thereafter, investors began to see evidence of economic improvement, and they turned to companies that tend to do well in the early stages of an economic recovery, such as semiconductor manufacturers.
Although the U.S. economy continued to shed jobs over the remainder of 2009, other economic indicators gradually improved. Manufacturing activity increased as producers sought to replenish depleted inventories and satisfy demand for exports to faster-growing overseas markets. Home prices began to creep higher in some hard-hit markets. Corporate earnings compared favorably to their levels from one year earlier. As a result, by year-end, the Russell 2000 Index had risen sharply.
Fund Strategy. The Fund proved to be well positioned at the start of 2009, as overweight exposure to information technology and consumer discretionary stocks, and an underweight position to the financials sector, enabled it to avoid ongoing weakness among financial institutions while participating fully in areas that tend to benefit in the early stages of economic recoveries. Overall for the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index in nine out of ten sectors, with slight relative underperformance to the telecommunication services sector.
With a new portfolio management team taking the reins in May 2009, we focused primarily on higher-quality companies that we believed to be attractively valued in implementing our bottom-up investment process. Our investment process identified a number of winners during the reporting period. For example, in the industrials sector, pumps and compressors manufacturer Gardner Denver, Inc. and aircraft cabins fabricator BE Aerospace, Inc. advanced strongly when investors favored companies that tend to do well in the early stages of economic recoveries. The Fund also fared well in the consumer discretionary sector, where personal care products provider Chattem, Inc. gained considerable value after Paris-based drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis announced that it would acquire Chattem. We exited our position by period end and locked in our gains. In the materials sector, an investment in chemicals producer Cytec Industries, Inc. helped the Fund participate in the rising commodities markets.
In terms of relative detractors to performance, in the health care sector, medical devices maker NuVasive, Inc. stumbled when insurance companies proved reluctant to recognize a key new product despite regulatory approval. The Fund did not own Human Genome Sciences, Inc., which climbed more than ten-fold for the benchmark after reporting success in clinical trials. Among consumer discretionary companies, casual dining chain Jack in the Box, Inc. underperformed

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
when budget-conscious consumers reined in spending. During the third quarter of 2009, the Fund’s shift toward higher-quality stocks proved to be premature, as lower-quality stocks continued to outperform their more fundamentally sound counterparts. In addition, in the midst of the portfolio management transition, paring down the number of holdings in the Fund weighed on relative performance. However, in the fourth quarter of 2009, our stock selection strategy outperformed as the market began favoring higher-quality stocks.
As of year-end, we have been encouraged by evidence that investors are turning their attention away from beaten-down bargains among lower-quality stocks and toward stocks with strong fundamentals. Although it is worth noting that the recovery has been relatively mild, the market now appears to be favoring companies with the underlying strength required to support earnings growth in a sluggish business climate. Rather than focusing on broad economic trends, our bottom-up stock selection process is based on combining fundamental research and quantitative models to seek to identify companies that are attractively priced relative to their underlying business prospects, which we feel may be particularly well suited to the current environment.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on July 16, 2001. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities of small capitalization companies that is a measure of the small company market. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,019.91 | | | | 5.36 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service shares | | | 0.80 | % |
|
Service shares | | | 1.05 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) | | Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized
F16 | OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND/VA
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investment in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of LAF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

1. | | Significant Accounting Policies Continued |
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. | | As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had $253,669,994 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows: |

Total | | $ | 253,669,994 | |
| | | |
2. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2009 are noted in the following
F18 | OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND/VA
table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

| | | |

| | | |
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in IMMF and LAF, for the year ended December 31, 2009, were as follows:

| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
|
Investment securities | | $ | 930,003,724 | | | $ | 1,002,571,378 | |
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Over $800 million | | | 0.60 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $431,484 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets would not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2009,
F20 | OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND/VA
the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $59,921 and $487,552 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $9,305 for IMMF management fees.
5. | | Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts |
The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.
As of December 31, 2009, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
7. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no securities on loan.

8. | | Subsequent Events Evaluation |
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff “) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Matthew Ziehl and Raman Vardharaj, the portfolio managers for the Fund effective May 2009, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s
8 | OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND/VA
historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other small-cap core funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s five-year performance was competitive with its peer group median although its one-year, three-year, and ten-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board considered the Manager’s assertion that overweight positions in the information technology sector and consumer discretionary sector contributed to the Fund’s underperformance in 2008. The Board noted the Fund’s recent improved performance, ranking in the top quintile during the four-month period ended April 30, 2009. The Board also noted a change to the Fund’s portfolio management team on May 19, 2009.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other small-cap core funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were lower than its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed the annual rates of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Yields include dividends in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The Fund’s performance should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s performance does not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.
Narrative by Carol Wolf, Portfolio Manager
During the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2009, the Fund produced a 0.32% yield with and without compounding. As of December 31, 2009, the Fund’s 7-day yield was 0.01%, with and without compounding.
Although money market yields remained near historical lows throughout 2009 as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) maintained an aggressively accommodative monetary policy, the Fund continued to preserve capital and maintain liquidity for its shareholders.
Economic and Market Environment
The good news is that the international banking system appears to have avoided the worst-case scenario feared by investors in the midst of the downturn. Toward the end of the first quarter of 2009, evidence emerged that the aggressive remedial measures adopted by the world’s monetary and government authorities—including low short-term interest rates, massive injections of liquidity into the banking system, the creation of enormous economic stimulus programs, and the rescues of troubled corporations—were proving effective. In the spring, a return of the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to less than one percent indicated that banks were again more willing to lend to one another. Lenders and borrowers breathed a sigh of relief, and global credit markets began to thaw. However, as of year-end, the banking system has not yet returned to pre-crisis conditions. The credit profiles of many banks remain under pressure as residential mortgage foreclosures have continued to mount and similar problems may be imminent in the commercial real estate market.
The U.S. and global economies also have shown signs of improvement but are not yet fully recovered. During the third quarter of 2009, U.S. Gross Domestic Product posted its first gain in more than a year, signaling that the deep and prolonged recession may have come to an end. Manufacturing activity has increased, the U.S. housing market appears to have slowed its decline and corporate earnings generally have been better than expected. However, the unemployment rate has remained stubbornly high, dampening consumer confidence. Indeed, the economic data currently points to a recovery that may be far milder than historical averages.
A number of the liquidity enhancements imposed by the Fed and U.S. government remain in place, suggesting that the economy and financial system are still fragile. Some programs, such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) currently are scheduled to remain in force into 2010 in support of troubled financial institutions. In addition, the Fed has indicated that short-term interest rates are likely to remain low for some time, and it has maintained other liquidity programs for its members. However, the apparent recovery of the commercial paper market led the U.S. Department of the Treasury to discontinue the Temporary Guarantee

Program for Money Market Funds on September 19, 2009. This program was put in place following turmoil in the money markets stemming from the bankruptcy of investment bank Lehman Brothers.
Finally, although historically low short-term interest rates represented the primary market force affecting the money markets, supply-and-demand dynamics also played a role in 2009. The supply of eligible money market instruments decreased as the industry consolidated, some issuers failed to meet credit-quality standards and others turned to longer-term securities for their financing needs. At the same time, demand for short-term instruments intensified from cautious investors. These developments put additional downward pressure on money-market yields.
Portfolio Strategy
We maintained a conservative investment posture throughout 2009. We remained especially cautious with regard to credit quality, scrutinizing the financial condition of issuers on our approved list and, in some cases, limiting the maturities of instruments purchased from those issuers. For most of the year, we set the Fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that was somewhat shorter than industry averages. Although this defensive strategy sacrificed a small amount of yield available from longer-dated instruments, we believed it was the prudent course in a still-challenging market environment. Due to historically low yields on U.S. Treasury bills and repurchase agreements, we focused primarily on commercial paper from high-quality issuers. We also invested in variable-rate demand notes in the municipal securities market, where taxable and tax-exempt yields proved competitive with traditional money market instruments.
While we have been encouraged by the beginnings of an economic rebound and signs of recovery in global credit markets, we continue to be wary regarding credit quality. Credit markets have remained under stress, and we expect to see credit-rating downgrades for some entities, including states suffering from tax revenue shortfalls and even some nations burdened by unsustainable debt loads. In addition, we expect the Fed to keep rates near 0% as long as economic growth remains mild and inflationary pressures are subdued. The market also has experienced a degree of uncertainty in anticipation of new regulations from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission during the first quarter of 2010.
In light of the economic recovery, we recently have lengthened the Fund’s weighted average maturity to capture incrementally higher yields among longer-dated instruments. However, we intend to maintain a cautious stance with regard to credit quality. Indeed, placing a high priority on price stability and liquidity is central to what makes Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA part of The Right Way to Invest.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table 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 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:
Expense Ratio
0.44%
The expense ratio reflects voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” table in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also shows the gross expense ratio, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Level 3— | | | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek maximum current income from investments in “money market” securities consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years for federal income tax purposes.
| | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net | | Undistributed | | | Accumulated Loss | |
Investment Income | | Long-Term Gains | | | Carryforward1,2 | |
|
$61,455 | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
| | |
1. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards. |
|
2. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund utilized $2 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
F8 | OPPENHEIMER MONEY FUND/VA
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended | | | Year Ended | |
| | December 31, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | |
|
Distributions paid from: | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 765,999 | | | $ | 5,787,153 | |
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually but may be paid at other times to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00.
Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $500 million | | | 0.450 | % |
Next $500 million | | | 0.425 | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.400 | |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.375 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $126,642 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $135,299.
Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as a percentage of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.50%. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $77,992.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees to 0.35% of average annual net assets of the Fund.
4. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2009, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
5. Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds
The Fund’s Board of Trustees elected for the Fund to participate in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) established by the U.S. Treasury Department. The Treasury Department accepted the Fund’s application to participate in the Program and entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the Fund dated as of September 19, 2008. The Fund also notified the Treasury Department of its intent to continue its participation in the Program through September 18, 2009. The Program could not be extended beyond September 18, 2009.
Under the Program, shareholders of the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 were guaranteed against loss in the event that the Fund’s net asset value fell below $0.995. The Program applied only to shareholders of record as of
F10 | OPPENHEIMER MONEY FUND/VA
the close of business on September 19, 2008. The number of shares covered by the Program was the lesser of (a) the number of shares of the Fund owned by the shareholder on September 19, 2008 or (b) the number of shares owned by the shareholder on the date the Fund’s net asset value fell below $0.995. If the number of shares of the Fund a shareholder held after September 19, 2008 fluctuated during the Program period due to purchases or redemptions of shares, any shares in excess of the amount held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 would not have been covered.
The Fund paid a fee to participate in the Program’s initial term in the amount equal to 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. The Fund paid a fee to continue its participation in the Program through April 30, 2009 in the amount of 0.015% of the Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. The Fund paid an additional fee to continue its participation in the Program through September 18, 2009 in the amount of 0.015% of the Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. Fees paid by the Fund to participate in the Program are shown as “Insurance expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
6. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
7. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff “) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Carol Wolf the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
6 | OPPENHEIMER MONEY FUND/VA
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other money market funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was better than its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other money market funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were competitive with its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board also considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily agreed to cap total expenses at 0.50%. The Board also considered that, beginning January 1, 2009, the Manager agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees to the extent necessary to help maintain a positive yield.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2009, the Fund’s Non-Service shares provided a total return of 18.83%. In comparison, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index provided a total return of 5.93% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index provided a total return of 2.55% during the period. Despite the Fund’s difficult first quarter of 2009, where returns were undermined by its holdings of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), it achieved superior relative performance over the remainder of 2009 and for the reporting period overall through overweight positions in international bonds and corporate securities—and correspondingly underweight exposure to U.S. Treasury securities.
Economic and Market Overview. 2009 began in the midst of a global banking crisis that sent shockwaves throughout the world’s fixed-income markets. Massive investment losses among multinational financial institutions nearly led to the collapse of the global banking system. With the flow of credit nearly frozen, consumers and businesses reined in spending and investment, exacerbating already weak U.S. and global economic environments. Unemployment rates surged higher, mortgage foreclosures soared and commodity prices plummeted in the worst recession since the 1930s.
Governments and central banks responded with injections of liquidity into their banking systems, sharply lower short-term interest rates and rescue packages for major corporations. In the United States, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) had reduced its target for the overnight federal funds rate to an all-time low of 0% to 0.25%, where it remained throughout the year. The Fed also engaged in massive purchases of U.S. government securities, particularly agency mortgage-backed securities and long-term Treasuries. The Fed separately supported the issuance of asset-backed securities collateralized by student loans, auto loans, credit card loans, and loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) through the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF). The U.S. government enacted the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in an attempt to stimulate the economy by funding infrastructure construction, cutting taxes on businesses and consumers, and sending aid to recession-stressed state governments.
By early March 2009, evidence appeared that these aggressive remedial measures had helped stabilize the credit markets. Investors were cheered by this news, and they began to grow more tolerant of risks as they looked forward to a resumption of economic growth. As a result, some of the bond market sectors that had been most severely affected during the downturn began to rally.
This upward trend among riskier assets generally continued over the second half of the year, as the economic recovery—and historically low yields on money market instruments and U.S. Treasury securities—whetted investors’ appetites for risk. Despite rising default rates, robust investor demand fueled the highest annual returns in the high yield bond market’s history. The debt of sovereign governments in the world’s emerging markets also staged an impressive rebound. Even mortgage-backed securities, which were at the epicenter of the financial crisis, fared relatively well due to the U.S. government’s repurchase program. Conversely, U.S. Treasury securities gave back some of their 2008 gains as investors turned to higher yielding opportunities.
Portfolio Strategy. Despite a generally defensive investment posture, the Fund’s performance during the first quarter of 2009 was severely constrained by its holdings of CMBS. These investments carried investment-grade credit ratings, held seniority in their issuers’ capital structures and appeared to us to be attractively valued. Nonetheless, their value continued to plunge during the opening months of 2009 due to recession-related concerns regarding business trends in the commercial real estate market. Although we moved quickly to reduce the Fund’s exposure to these troubled securities, the damage to returns already had been done.
In an effort to manage risks in the recession, the Fund began 2009 with underweight exposure to high yield corporate bonds, which we regarded as vulnerable to economic weakness, and U.S. Treasury securities, which we believed were too richly valued in the wake of their 2008 gains. Instead, we established positions in investment-grade corporate bonds that, in our judgment, had been oversold during the bear market. This strategy sheltered the Fund from the full brunt of declines among U.S. government securities and helped the Fund participate in the rally of corporate bonds as investors rekindled their appetites for risk. In hindsight, however, returns would have been higher had we allocated more assets to the high yield market.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
The Fund’s overweight exposure to international bonds contributed positively to its performance throughout the year. We established positions in local currency-denominated sovereign bonds in anticipation of weakness in the U.S. dollar stemming from a ballooning federal budget deficit and historically low interest rates. We also favored bond markets where yields were attractively high and were likely to moderate, creating potential for price gains. Indeed, the Fund’s holdings in Brazil, Turkey, Mexico and other emerging markets fared well as the emerging markets led international fixed-income markets higher during the rally. Within the developed markets, we responded tactically to signals from our quantitative model by investing in bonds to capture the benefits of anticipated changes in exchange rates. We also established positions in European markets where we believed interest rates still had room to fall.
As of the reporting period’s end, we have seen evidence of change in global fixed-income markets. As the worldwide economic recovery continues, we expect central banks, including the Fed, to lay the groundwork for higher short-term interest rates. In addition, in 2010, central banks and governments are likely to begin removing some of the liquidity programs that bolstered certain market sectors in 2009.
In our judgment, the possibility of higher U.S. interest rates could stem the decline of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies as investors recommit capital to the U.S. market. Therefore, we have shifted the Fund’s focus in international fixed-income markets from currency-related opportunities to sovereign bonds with attractive current yields and the potential for high total returns. Among U.S. corporate securities, we have gradually reduced the Fund’s exposure to investment-grade corporate bonds in favor of high yield bonds, which we believe are likely to continue to benefit from a recovering economy, declining default rates and narrower yield differences relative to U.S. Treasury securities in 2010. Conversely, we continue to regard U.S. Treasury securities as relatively unattractive due to low current yields and the potential for rising interest rates. Indeed, identifying areas of the global bond market with the greatest potential under prevailing and expected market conditions is at the heart of what makes Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA part of The Right Way to Invest.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on March 19, 2001. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assumed that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate and government bonds, and to the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, an unmanaged index of debt securities of major foreign governments. The indices’ performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the indices.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service Shares | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,020.67 | | | 4.59 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service Shares | | | 0.65 | % |
Service Shares | | | 0.90 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

4. | | Non-income producing security. |
|
5. | | A sufficient amount of securities has been designated to cover outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts. See Note 5 of accompanying Notes. |
|
6. | | Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $20,563,263 or 0.47% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2009. |
F26 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
7. | | The current amortization rate of the security’s cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change. |

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) | | Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing
F48 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.
Event-Linked Bonds. The Fund may invest in “event-linked” bonds. Event-linked bonds, which are sometimes referred to as “catastrophe” bonds, are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical or economic loss. If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, the Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal in addition to interest otherwise due from the security. Event-linked bonds may expose the Fund to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. The Fund records the net change in market value of event-linked bonds on the Statement of Operations as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon the sale or maturity of such securities.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
| | | | |
| | When-Issued or Delayed | |
| | Delivery Basis Transactions | |
|
Purchased securities | | $ | 128,956,625 | |
The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss)
F49 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.
Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.
Securities Sold Short. The Fund may short sell when-issued securities for future settlement. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss for the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no short sales.
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. Information concerning securities in default as of December 31, 2009 is as follows:
| | | | |
Cost | | $ | 37,402,347 | |
Market Value | | $ | 5,789,978 | |
Market Value as a % of Net Assets | | | 0.13 | % |
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share.
F50 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investment in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of LAF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (the “master funds”). Each master fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one master fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that master fund.
The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investments in the master funds are included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investments in each master fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding master fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the master funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the master funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the master funds.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $2,345,233 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
F54 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as a percentage of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investments in IMMF and the master funds. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $1,095,780 for management fees.
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. As of December 31, 2009, the maximum amount of loss that the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $43,115,334, which represents gross payments to be received by the Fund on these derivative contracts were they to be unwound as of period end. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. The amount of loss that the Fund would incur taking into account these master netting arrangements would be $26,256,000 as of December 31, 2009. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collaterial accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of December 31, 2009 the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $1,069,108. Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund has several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s ISDA master agreements which govern positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.
As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability position was $4,089,640 for which collateral was not posted by the Fund. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2009, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. If the Fund fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities posted
F56 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
as collateral will be made available to the counterparty. Cash posted as collateral for these contracts, if any, is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities posted as collateral, if any, are reported on the Statement of Investments.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currency. These forward foreign currency exchange contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the portfolio.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a negative investment perspective on the related currency. These forward foreign currency exchange contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the portfolio.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
F58 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk.
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Options written are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund has written put options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has written call options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased call options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased put options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk for over-the-counter options and liquidity risk.

Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Such contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from pricing services, counterparties and brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by contracts in unrealized appreciation and depreciation positions. Upfront payments paid or received, if any, affect the value of the respective swap. Therefore, to determine the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps, upfront payments paid should be subtracted from, while upfront payments received should be added to, the value of contracts reported as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Conversely, upfront payments paid should be added to, while upfront payments received should be subtracted from the value of contracts reported as a liability. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps require little or no initial cash investment, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security, sovereign debt, or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and
F60 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.
The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes.
The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements.
The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.
The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments received by the Fund under the swap agreement will be greater than the payments made by the Fund.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and, or, include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.
The Fund has entered into total return swaps on various equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay a floating reference interest rate, or an amount equal to the negative price movement of an index multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. The Fund will receive payments equal to the positive price movement of the same index multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Currency Swaps. A currency swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange different currencies equivalent to the notional value at contract inception and reverse the exchange of the same notional values of those currencies at contract termination. The contract may also include periodic exchanges of cash flows based on a specified index or interest rate.
The Fund has entered into currency swap contracts with the obligation to pay an interest rate on the dollar notional amount and receive an interest rate on various foreign currency notional amounts in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currencies for which the Fund receives a payment. These currency swap contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
The Fund has entered into currency swap contracts with the obligation to pay an interest rate various foreign currency notional amounts and receive an interest rate on on the dollar notional amount in order to take a negative investment perspective on the related currencies for which the Fund receives a payment. These currency swap contracts seek to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Swaption Transactions. The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.
Swaptions are marked to market daily using primarily portfolio pricing services or quotations from counterparties and brokers. Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Statement of Investments, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations. Written swaptions are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.
The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.
The Fund has written swaptions which give it the obligation, if exercised by the purchaser, to sell credit protection through credit default swaps in order to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and, or, indexes. A written swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the likelihood of a credit event on the reference asset decreases.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had no written or purchased swaptions outstanding.

6. Illiquid or Restricted Securities
As of December 31, 2009, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors as reflecting fair value. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid and restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers, may not be subject to that limitation. Securities that are illiquid or restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.
7. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had on loan securities valued at $36,746,005. Collateral of $37,599,500 was received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently invested in approved instruments.
8. Unfunded Purchase Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of certain indenture agreements, the Fund has unfunded purchase agreements of $15,121,194 at December 31, 2009. The Fund generally will maintain with its custodian, liquid investments having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of unfunded purchase agreements. The following agreements are subject to funding based on the borrower’s discretion. The Fund is obligated to fund these agreements at the time of the request by the borrower. These agreements have been excluded from the Statement of Investments.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had unfunded purchase agreements as follows:
| | | | | | | | |

9. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
10. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Arthur Steinmetz, Krishna Memani, Joseph Welsh and Caleb Wong, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The
8 | OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND/VA
Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other general bond funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was better than its peer group median although its one-year performance was below its peer group median. The Board considered the Manager’s assertion that security selection in the high yield sleeve and exposure to emerging markets in the international sleeve negatively impacted performance in 2008. The Board also considered changes in the heads of the newly formed Investment Grade Fixed Income and High Yield Corporate Debt teams.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other general bond funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses were competitive with its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed the annual rates of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance and expense ratios may be lower or higher than the data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. The net expense ratios take into account a voluntary fee waiver or expense reimbursement, without which performance would have been less. This undertaking may be modified or terminated at any time.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. The Fund’s Non-Service shares returned 45.08% during the reporting period, outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Index”), which returned 19.69%. The Fund also outperformed the broader U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, which returned 26.47% for the one-year period. The Fund outperformed the Index in seven out of ten market sectors, largely as a result of better relative stock selection in industrials, healthcare, financials, materials and information technology. Overweight positions to information technology and materials, the two strongest performing sectors in the Index during the period, also benefited the Fund’s performance. The Fund underperformed within consumer staples, primarily as a result of weaker relative stock selection, and under-performed within telecommunication services and utilities by a small margin.
The global recession that defined 2008 continued in the first half of 2009, as unemployment rates climbed, housing prices slumped and consumer confidence remained depressed. The economic downturn had been intensified by a global banking crisis that led to the failures of several major financial institutions and nearly frozen conditions in some credit markets. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reduced short-term interest rates aggressively, including a cut in mid-December 2008 that drove its target for the overnight federal funds rate to an unprecedented low of 0% to 0.25%.
Pronounced signs of economic weakness persisted through the first half of 2009. After declining in the fourth quarter of 2008, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) continued to decline in the first and second quarters of 2009, falling by 6.4% and 0.7%, respectively. January 2009’s economic news included a sharp decline in housing prices compared to one year earlier. In February and March, the U.S. economy lost more than 600,000 jobs in each month and consumer confidence dropped sharply. In early March, the U.S. stock market hit a multi-year low.
Investor sentiment soon began to improve as evidence appeared that global credit markets were thawing in response to massive remedial efforts by U.S. government and monetary authorities. The U.S. government enacted the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was designed to retain and create jobs, provide budget relief to states and localities, maintain social programs and offer tax relief to businesses and individuals.
As it became clearer that these remedial measures had helped to avert a collapse of the U.S. banking system and with historically low valuations, equities began an impressive rally that began in March 2009 and continued through the end of the reporting period. While volatility persisted, most global equity markets ended the reporting period with substantial gains.
For the first time since the second quarter of 2008, GDP growth was once again positive in the third quarter of 2009, increasing at a modest rate. The initial estimates for 2009 fourth quarter GDP signaled a faster rate of growth for the economy heading into 2010. Nevertheless, some of the lagging indicators, such as unemployment figures, continued to be troubling and hovered at around 10% in the U.S. The housing market continued to slump through the end of the reporting period and consumer confidence remained shaky. Despite the strong equity market gains in the second half of the reporting period, wariness persisted about the economic landscape for 2010. Given the perceived fragility of the economic recovery, the Fed consistently maintained its low target for short-term interest rates through the reporting period’s end.
In terms of individual stock contributors to performance, within industrials, Tyco International Ltd., Navistar International Corp., Goodrich Corp. (which we exited) and Aircastle Ltd. produced strong relative results for the Fund. In healthcare, contributors to performance included Schering-Plough Corp. and Wyeth, both of which benefited from being acquired during the reporting period. Schering-Plough Corp. was acquired by Merck & Co., Inc. in early November 2009, and Wyeth was acquired by Pfizer, Inc. in October 2009.
In financials, Wells Fargo & Co., SLM Corp., MetLife, Inc., National Financial Partners Corp. and Morgan Stanley provided the bulk of positive performance within the sector. We exited our positions in SLM Corp. and National Financial Partners Corp. and took gains. Materials holdings which contributed to performance included The Lubrizol Corp. and The Mosaic Co., both of which we exited. Lastly, in information technology, Research in Motion Ltd., Google, Inc. and Apple, Inc. contributed positively to performance. We exited these three holdings and realized gains. Information technology holding QUALCOMM, Inc. also performed well for the Fund during the reporting period.
The Fund underperformed the Index in consumer staples, as overweight positions in The Kroger Co. and Molson Coors Brewing Co. detracted from results during the period. The Fund also slightly underperformed the Index within telecommunication services and utilities due to weaker relative stock selection.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
At period end, the Fund had overweight positions in information technology, healthcare, materials, industrials and consumer discretionary; underweights in utilities, energy, telecommunication services, financials; and a roughly neutral position in consumer staples.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2009. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on January 2, 2003. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on September 18, 2006. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities of large capitalization value companies. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees or expenses. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results.
The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.981.2871. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold 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 and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service shares | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,019.91 | | | | 5.36 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Non-Service shares | | | 0.80 | % |
Service shares | | | 1.05 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| 1) | | Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) |
|
| 2) | | Level 2—inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) |
|
| 3) | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset). |
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks with low price-earnings ratios and better-than-anticipated earnings. Realization of current income is a secondary consideration. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required, however, during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid federal excise tax of $114. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | | |
|
Up to $200 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $200 million | | | 0.72 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.69 | |
Next $200 million | | | 0.66 | |
Over $800 million | | | 0.60 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund paid $3,564 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective January 1, 2007, the Manager voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses as percentages of daily net assets would not exceed the annual rate of 1.25% for Non-Service shares and 1.50% for Service shares. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $295 and $55,158 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. This voluntary undertaking and may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to May 1, 2009, OFS had voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Manager waived $294 for IMMF management fees.
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
F14 | OPPENHEIMER VALUE FUND/VA
| | Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk. |
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
| | Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund. |
| | Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund has several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s ISDA master agreements which govern positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. |

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Options written are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund has written put options on individual equity securities and, or, equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has written covered call options on individual equity securities and, or, equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A written covered call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased call options on individual equity securities and, or, equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
Other lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.

7. Pending Litigation Continued
The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights of Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA for the years ended prior to January 1, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 11, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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, transfer agent 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 audit provides 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 Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2010, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2009. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Mitch Williams and John Damian the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information.
8 | OPPENHEIMER VALUE FUND/VA
The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other multi-cap value funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, and five-year performance was better than its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other multi-cap value funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees were lower than its peer group median although total expenses were higher its peer group median. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the disparity among VA funds in how insurance companies may be compensated for the services they provide to shareholders, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds it is most appropriate to focus on the total expenses rather than on the management fees. Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, it paid particular attention to total expenses. The Board considered that, effective May 1, 2009, the Manager voluntarily undertook to waive a portion of the management fee so that annual total expenses, as a percentage of net assets, will not exceed 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through August 31, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

The Fund’s Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the Respective Boards
1. | | The Fund’s Governance Committee (the “Committee”) will evaluate potential Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds’ investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection. |
|
2. | | The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individual’s background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is |
| | an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual’s background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. |
|
3. | | The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: |
| • | | the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; |
|
| • | | a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
|
| • | | any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and |
|
| • | | the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. |
| | The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation. |
|
4. | | Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser) would be deemed an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds’ outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.” |
|
5. | | Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee of a registered investment company. |
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
Based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 12/31/2009, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
