NOTES
Definitions and Presentation
"Income (loss) from operations," "operating revenues" and "return on capital" are non-GAAP financial measures and do not replace GAAP
revenues, net income (loss) and return on stockholders' equity.  Detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure are included in this statistical supplement.
•	We exclude the after-tax effects of the following items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at income (loss) from operations:
	•	Realized gains and losses associated with the following ("excluded realized gain (loss)"):
		•	Sale or disposal of securities;
		•	Impairments of securities;
		•	Change in the fair value of embedded derivatives within certain reinsurance arrangements and the change in the fair value of our trading
			securities;
		•	Change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge our guaranteed death benefit ("GDB") riders within our variable annuities, which
			is referred to as "GDB derivatives results";
		•	Change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of our guaranteed living benefit (“GLB”) riders within our variable annuities accounted
			for under the Derivatives and Hedging and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics of the FASB ASC (“embedded derivative
			reserves”), net of the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge the changes in the embedded derivative reserves, the net of
			which is referred to as “GLB net derivative results”; and
		•	Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract
			holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products accounted for under the Derivatives and Hedging
			and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics of the FASB ASC (“indexed annuity forward-starting option”).
	•	Change in reserves accounted for under the Financial Services - Insurance - Claim Costs and Liabilities for Future Policy Benefits Subtopic of
		the FASB ASC resulting from benefit ratio unlocking on our GDB and GLB riders ("benefit ratio unlocking");
	•	Income (loss) from the initial adoption of new accounting standards;
	•	Income (loss) from reserve changes (net of related amortization) on business sold through reinsurance;
	•	Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt;
	•	Losses from the impairment of intangible assets; and
	•	Income (loss) from discontinued operations.
	•	Operating revenues represent GAAP revenues excluding the pre-tax effects of the following items, as applicable:
		•	Excluded realized gain (loss);
		•	Amortization income of DFEL arising from changes in GDB and GLB benefit ratio unlocking;
		•	Amortization of deferred gains arising from the reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance; and
		•	Revenue adjustments from the initial adoption of new accounting standards.
	•	Return on capital measures the effectiveness of our use of total capital, which includes equity (excluding accumulated other
		comprehensive income), debt, capital securities and junior subordinated debentures issued to affiliated trusts.  Return on capital is
		calculated by dividing annualized income (loss) from operations (after adding back interest expense) by average capital.  The difference
		between return on capital and return on stockholders' equity represents the effect of leveraging on our consolidated results.
Income (loss) from operations, operating revenues and return on capital are financial measures we use to evaluate and assess our results.  Our
management and Board of Directors believe that these performance measures explain the results of our ongoing businesses in a manner that
allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in our current business because the excluded items are unpredictable and not
necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and, in most instances, decisions
regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments.
	•	Certain operating and statistical measures are included in this report to provide supplemental data regarding the performance of our
		current business.  These measures include deposits, sales, net flows, first-year premiums, in force and spreads.
	•	Sales as reported consist of the following:
		•	Universal life ("UL") (excluding linked-benefit products) and variable universal life ("VUL"), including corporate-owned life
			insurance ("COLI") and bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") - first year commissionable premiums plus 5% of excess premiums
			received, including an adjustment for internal replacements at approximately 50% of target;
		•	Whole life and term - 100% of first year paid premiums;
		•	Linked-benefit - 15% of premium deposits;
		•	Annuities - deposits from new and existing customers;
		•	Group Protection - annualized first year premiums from new policies; and
Our roll forwards of deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") and value of business acquired ("VOBA"), deferred sales inducements ("DSI") and deferred
front-end loads ("DFEL") disclose the net impact of prospective and retrospective unlocking on amortization for these accounts.  This information
helps explain a source of volatility in amortization.
	•	Prospective unlocking - In the third quarter of each year, we review and update our assumptions used in projecting our future estimated
		gross profits ("EGPs") used to amortize DAC, VOBA, DFEL, DSI and the calculations of embedded derivatives and reserves for
		annuity and life insurance products with certain guarantees.  We may also have prospective unlocking if we experience long-term
		or significant deviations from expected equity market returns requiring a change to best estimate projections of EGPs and reversion
		to the mean ("RTM") prospective unlocking of DAC, VOBA, DFEL, DSI and other contract holder funds.  These updates to assumptions
		result in unlocking that represent an increase or decrease to our carrying value of DAC, VOBA, DFEL, DSI and other contract holder
		funds based upon our updated view of future EGPs.  The various assumptions that are reviewed include investment margins, mortality,
		retention and rider utilization.  In addition, in the third quarter of each year during our annual prospective unlocking review, we may
		identify and implement actuarial modeling refinements which can result in prospective and retrospective unlocking impacts that impact
		DAC, VOBA, DSI, DFEL and embedded derivatives and reserves for annuity and life products with living and death benefit guarantee reserves.

			iii
	•	Retrospective unlocking - On a quarterly basis, we “true-up” our models for actual gross profits and in-force experience for the period.
		To the extent that actual experience differs from previously expected, a positive or negative retrospective adjustment to the
		amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL is recorded.  This update to the models may generate a change in the amortization rate
		which results in a catch-up to the cumulative amortization, by recalculating the DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL balances assuming that
		the revised amortization rate had been used since issue.
Book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") is calculated based upon a non-GAAP financial measure. It is
calculated by dividing (a) stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and Series B preferred stock balances as it is non-convertible (issued and sold to the
U.S. Treasury in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008), by (b) common shares outstanding, assuming conversion of Series A preferred shares.  We provide book value per share excluding AOCI
to enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is attributable primarily to our business operations. We believe book value
per share excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period,
primarily based on changes in interest rates.  Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Pre-tax operating margin is calculated as income (loss) from operations before federal income taxes divided by operating revenues.  After-tax operating
margin is calculated as income (loss) from operations divided by operating revenues.
We use our prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% while taking into account any permanent differences for events recognized differently
in our financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling our non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure.
Inter-segment transfer refers to a transfer from Retirement Solutions - Annuities to Retirement Solutions - Defined Contribution.
Throughout the document, "after-DAC" refers to the associated amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL and changes in other contract
holder funds and funds withheld reinsurance liabilities.
Reclassifications
In addition to the items discussed above, certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassed to the presentation adopted in the current period.
These reclassifications had no effect on net income, income from operations or stockholders' equity in the prior period.

(1)	The holders of our Series B preferred stock have no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities, therefore these shares have not been converted
	in this calculation.
(2)	These computations exclude Series B preferred stock balances as it is non-convertible.
(3)	Indicated dividend divided by the closing price.
(4)	The numerator in this calculation is arrived at by adding our total debt, excluding 75% of our capital securities and all of our $375 million senior note issued in
	October 2007 because the proceeds were reinvested in a pool of long-term assets, plus our Series B preferred stock liquidation value of $950 million. The
	denominator in this calculation is arrived at by adding our stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, plus 75% of our capital securities as well as the total amount of
	the numerator.

(1)	See page 6 for detail.
(2)	We use our prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% while taking into account any permanent differences for events recognized differently in our
	financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling our non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure.
(3)	Includes discontinued operations and the loss on disposal. See Discontinued Operations on page 27 for details.
(4)	Relates to outstanding stock options under the Delaware Investments U.S. Inc. stock option incentive plan.
(5)	In those periods with a loss from continuing operations, shares used in the earnings per share calculation represent basic shares, since using diluted shares would have been
	anti-dilutive. This same concept applies to our income (loss) from operations as well.
(6)	These computations exclude Series B preferred stock balances as it is non-convertible.

(1)	Represents the net difference between the change in the fair value of the S&P 500 Index® call options that we hold and the change in the fair value of the embedded
	derivative liabilities of our indexed annuity products. The change in the fair value of the liability for the embedded derivative represents the amount that is credited to
	the indexed annuity contract.
(2)	Represents the "risk/profit margin" portion of the attributed GLB rider fees. We have certain GLB variable annuity riders with GWB and GIB features that are
	embedded derivatives. We attribute to the embedded derivative the portion of total fees collected from the contract holder that relates to the GLB riders
	(the “attributed fees”). These attributed fees represent the present value of future claims expected to be paid for the GLB at the inception of the contract (the “net
	valuation premium”) plus a margin that a theoretical market participant would include for risk/profit (the “risk/profit margin”). We include the net valuation
	premium of the GLB attributed rider fees in excluded realized gain (loss). For our Retirement Solutions – Annuities and Retirement Solutions – Defined Contribution
	segments, the total fees collected from the contract holders in excess of the GLB attributed fees are reported in insurance fees.
(3)	See page 29 for detail.
(4)	Represents changes in the fair values of total return swaps (embedded derivatives) theoretically included in our various modified coinsurance and coinsurance with funds
	withheld reinsurance arrangements that have contractual returns related to various assets and liabilities associated with these arrangements. Changes in the fair value of these
	derivatives are offset by the change in fair value of trading securities in the portfolios that support these arrangements.
(5)	Represents the net valuation premium, the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of our GLB products, the change in the fair value of the derivative
	instruments we own to hedge the embedded derivative, the cost of purchasing the derivative instruments, and the associated changes to DAC, VOBA, DSI, and DFEL.
(6)	Represents the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge the change in the GDB riders.
(7)	Represents changes in the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations
	applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products.
(8)	We use our prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% while taking into account any permanent differences for events recognized differently in our
	financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling our non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure.

(1)	For the annuity products spread, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on fixed product investment portfolios divided by average invested assets on
	reserves. We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus, reverse repurchase agreement interest expense and inter-segment cash management
	account interest expense from our yield and spread calculations. The average crediting rate is calculated using interest credited before DSI amortization, plus the immediate annuity
	reserve change (included within benefits), divided by average fixed account values net of co-insured account values. Fixed account values reinsured under modified co-insurance
	agreements are included in account values for this calculation since assets (and therefore margin) are retained under these agreements.
(2)	Our yields on net investment income have been lowered due to holding higher cash balances related to our short-term liquidity strategy during recent volatile markets. The increased
	cash and short-term investment balances for the three months ended March 2009, June 2009, September 2009, December 2009 and the year ended December 2009 reduced our
	yields by approximately 40 bps, 33 bps, 3 bps, 5 bps and 20 bps, respectively.
(3)	Comprised of the variable annuity expense assessments included in the expense assessments line item on page 15 and the amounts presented in the components of attributed fees on
	GLB, as described in footnotes 5 and 6 and disclosed above.
(4)	Comprised of the GLB expense assessments included in the expense assessments line item on page 15 and the amounts presented in the components of attributed fees on GLB, as
	described in footnotes 5 and 6 and disclosed above.
(5)	Includes the risk/profit margin portion of the GLB attributed rider fees in operating realized gain (loss) and the amount reported in expense assessments. See note (2) on page 6 for
	further discussion.
(6)	Includes the net valuation premium of the GLB attributed rider fees in excluded realized gain (loss). See note (5) on page 6 for further discussion.
(7)	As of March 31, 2009, we modified our presentation of these period end balances to reflect the amounts net of reinsurance and adjusted all prior periods accordingly.
(8)	Guaranteed withdrawal benefits include features that offer the contract holder a guarantee equal to the initial deposit (or contract value, if elected after issue), adjusted for any
	subsequent purchase payments or withdrawals.
(9)	For our guaranteed income benefits, we offer other product riders allowing variable annuity contract holders access and control during the income distribution phase of their contract.
	This added flexibility allows the contract holder to access the account value for transfers, additional withdrawals and other service features, such as portfolio rebalancing.

(1)	For the annuity products spread, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on fixed product investment portfolios divided by average invested
	assets on reserves. We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus from our spread calculations. The average crediting rate is
	calculated as interest credited before DSI amortization, plus the immediate annuity reserve change (included within benefits), divided by the average fixed account
	values, including the fixed portion of variable annuities.
(2)	Our yields on net investment income have been lowered due to holding higher cash balances related to our short-term liquidity strategy during recent volatile markets.
	The increased cash and short-term investment balances for the three months ended March 2009, June 2009, September 2009, December 2009 and the year ended
	December 2009 reduced our yields by approximately 16 bps, 18 bps, 11 bps, 6 bps and 13 bps, respectively.

(1)	COLI and BOLI are interest-sensitive and contain both UL and VUL products.
(2)	Includes UL, interest-sensitive whole life and the fixed investment option of VUL products.
(3)	For the interest-sensitive life products spread, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on fixed product investment portfolios divided by average earning assets.  We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus and reverse repurchase agreement interest expense from our yield and spread calculations.  The average crediting rate is calculated using interest credited on life products divided by average fixed account values.
(4)	Our yields on net investment income have been lowered due to holding higher cash balances related to our short-term liquidity strategy during recent volatile markets. The increased cash and short-term investment balances for the three months ended March 2009, September 2009, December 2009 and the year ended December 2009 reduced our yields by approximately 11 bps, 4 bps, 13 bps and 8 bps, respectively. There was no impact for the three months ended June 2009.
(5)	For the traditional life products, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on traditional investment portfolios divided by average earning assets. As of
	December 31, 2009, interest-sensitive products represented approximately 86% of total interest-sensitive and traditional earning assets.

Lincoln Financial Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Results

_____________________________________________

Strength in Business Model and Account Values Drive Earnings Increase

Quarterly Deposits and Net Flows Up Year-over-Year

Philadelphia, PA, February 8, 2010 – Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) today reported net income of $102 million, or $0.27 per diluted share available to common stockholders, for the fourth quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $485 million, or $1.85 per share available to common stockholders, for the full year of 2009. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2009 included a non-cash charge of $109 million, after tax, for the impairment of intangibles related to the company’s media assets and net realized losses of $98 million, after tax, which includes the results of the variable annuity hedge program.

The fourth quarter income from operations was $297 million, or $0.90 per diluted share available to common stockholders, and full-year income from operations was $943 million, or $3.18 per diluted share available to common stockholders. Income from operations in the current quarter reflected growth in average variable account values compared to a year ago and included favorable returns on alternative investments. Income from operations in the 2008 quarter included negative DAC unlocking related to the company’s revision of future estimated gross profits and a loss from alternative investments.

	For the Quarter Ended					For the Year Ended
($ in millions except per share data)		2008*			2009		2008		2009*
Net Income (Loss)	$	(506	)	$	102	$	57	$	(485	)
Net Income (Loss) per diluted share available to common stockholders		(1.98	)		0.27		0.22		(1.85	)

Average Diluted Shares		257.6			311.6		259.4		285.6

*The per share calculation used in the losses per share represent basic shares.

The 2009 earnings available to common stockholders per share reflect the accrued dividend and accretion of discount on the series B preferred stock, as well as an increase in average common shares outstanding primarily related to the company’s equity issuance in June 2009.

Fourth Quarter 2009 Operating Highlights:

·   Consolidated deposits of $4.9 billion were up 3% versus the 2008 quarter.

·   Consolidated net flows were up 12% year-over-year to $1.5 billion.

·   Ending account balances increased 20% to $141 billion since last year, driven by another quarter of double-digit growth in net flows and equity market appreciation.

·   Entered into a $550 million 10-year letter of credit facility, providing approximately $400 million of initial statutory capital relief as of December 31, 2009.

·   On January 4, 2010, the company completed the sale of Delaware Investments with estimated proceeds of $410 million, after tax.

Dennis R. Glass, president and CEO, said, “Our results in the quarter and for the full year underscore the quality and resilience of our business model, particularly in a challenging operating environment. The strength of the Lincoln Financial franchise and the successful actions we took last year to increase financial flexibility and sharpen our focus on our core businesses were evident in our operating results. We expanded distribution relationships, produced strong sales and positive net flows, and grew earnings throughout the year, even during the depths of the crisis. In addition to these operational accomplishments, we took deliberate and prudent steps to execute on a comprehensive capital plan that left the company in a strong capital position as we exited 2009. ”

Fourth Quarter 2009 – Segment Results

Retirement Solutions

Individual Annuities

The Individual Annuities segment reported income from operations of $120 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 versus a loss from operations of $172 million in the year-ago period. The 2009 quarter included a net positive impact of approximately $19 million, after tax, primarily attributable to retrospective DAC unlocking and tax-related items. The current quarter also included alternative investment income of $6 million, after tax. The prior-year period included net negative items of approximately $247 million, after tax, primarily attributable to prospective DAC unlocking related to equity market depreciation.

Gross annuity deposits were $2.5 billion and net flows were $818 million, both up versus the prior year. Gross deposits and net flows declined from the third quarter of 2009, driven by fixed

and indexed annuities, reflecting the low interest rate environment. Variable annuity product deposits of $2.1 billion were up 9% versus last year and drove net flows to $838 million, an increase of 42% year-over-year.

For the full year, gross deposits were $10.4 billion versus $11.7 billion in 2008, and net flows were $3.9 billion compared to $4.1 billion.

Defined Contribution

Defined Contribution reported income from operations of $33 million, versus a loss from operations of $1 million for the same period a year ago. The current quarter included a net negative impact of approximately $3 million, after tax, primarily related to tax and expense true-ups. The 2009 quarter also included alternative investment income of $4 million, after tax. The prior-year period included net negative items of approximately $26 million, after tax, primarily attributable to prospective DAC unlocking related to equity market depreciation.

Gross deposits of $1.2 billion were down 7% versus the prior year. Total net flows were a negative $62 million, reflecting the institutional nature of the business which drives variability in quarterly net flows.

For the full year, gross deposits were $5.0 billion versus $5.5 billion in 2008, and net flows were $1.0 billion compared to $781 million.

Insurance Solutions

Life Insurance

Life Insurance income from operations was $158 million, compared to $83 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The life insurance segment’s results in 2009 included alternative investment income of $7 million, after tax. The prior period’s results included a net negative impact of approximately $51 million, after tax, primarily related to DAC unlocking.

Life insurance sales were $195 million, down 8% versus 2008, but up 33% sequentially, reflecting, in part, fourth quarter seasonality. MoneyGuardÒ, a linked-benefit universal life insurance policy with a long term care rider, and term life insurance continued to post strong results as sales increased 82% year-over-year.

For the full year, life insurance sales were $610 million versus $741 million in 2008.

Group Protection

For the fourth quarter, Group Protection’s income from operations was $30 million, compared to $18 million in the prior-year period. The non-medical loss ratio in the current period was 69%, driven by favorable experience in group disability and life. The 2009 period recorded unfavorable seasonal expenses related to fourth quarter production levels of approximately $3 million, after tax. The current quarter also included alternative investment income of $3 million, after tax.

Net earned premiums were $396 million in the fourth quarter, up 4% over the year-ago period and annualized sales of $167 million increased 29% year-over-year.

For the full year, net earned premiums were $1.6 billion versus $1.5 billion in 2008, and annualized sales were $360 million compared to $316 million.

Other Operations

The operating loss in Other Operations was $44 million in the quarter, versus $55 million in the prior-year quarter. The 2009 quarter included a net negative impact of approximately $15 million, after tax, reflecting a charge of $33 million related to the disability income business review, partially offset by a favorable tax item. The current quarter also included income from alternative investments of $2 million, after tax. The 2008 quarter included net negative items, primarily related to unfavorable expenses.

Alternative Investment Income

Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2009 included alternative investment income of $22 million, after tax, compared to a loss of $35 million, after tax, in the 2008 period. The company’s alternative investment portfolio of approximately $700 million benefited from favorable performance from limited partnerships, private equity, and hedge funds.

Definition of Income (Loss) from Operations and ROE

Income (loss) from operations and ROE, as used in the earnings release, are non-GAAP financial measures and are not substitutes for net income (loss) and ROE, calculated using GAAP measures.  We exclude the after-tax effects of the following items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at income (loss) from operations: realized gains and losses associated with the following ("excluded realized gain (loss)"): sale or disposal of securities; impairments of securities; change in the fair value of embedded derivatives within certain reinsurance arrangements and the change in the fair value of our trading securities; change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge our guaranteed death benefit ("GDB") riders within our variable annuities, which is referred to as "GDB derivatives results"; change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of our guaranteed living benefit (“GLB”) riders within our variable annuities accounted for under the Derivatives and Hedging and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics of the FASB ASC (“embedded derivative reserves”), net of the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge the changes in the embedded derivative reserves, the net of which is referred to as “GLB net derivative results”; and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products accounted for under the Derivatives and Hedging and the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topics of the FASB ASC (“indexed annuity forward-starting option”); change in reserves accounted for under the Financial Services - Insurance - Claim Costs and Liabilities for Future Policy Benefits Subtopic of the FASB ASC resulting from benefit ratio unlocking on our GDB and GLB riders ("benefit ratio unlocking"); income (loss) from the initial adoption of new accounting standards; income (loss) from reserve changes (net of related amortization) on business sold through reinsurance; gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt; losses from the impairment of intangible assets; and income (loss) from discontinued operations.

The earnings used to calculate ROE, as used in the earnings release, are income (loss) from operations.  Income (loss) from operations is an internal measure used by the company in the management of its operations.  Management believes that this performance measure explains the results of the company's ongoing businesses in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in the company's current business because the excluded items are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and, in most instances, decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments.

The company uses its prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% while taking into account any permanent differences for events recognized differently in its financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Definition of Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI

Book value per share excluding AOCI is calculated based upon a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing (a) stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and Series B preferred stock balances as it is non-convertible (issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008), by (b) common shares outstanding, assuming conversion of Series A preferred shares. We provide book value per share excluding AOCI to enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is primarily attributable to our business operations. Management believes book value per share excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates.  Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.  A reconciliation of book value per share to book value per share excluding AOCI as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 is set forth below.

(1)   In those periods with a loss from continuing operations, shares used in the earnings per share calculation represent basic shares, since using diluted shares would have been anti-dilutive. This same concept applies to our income from operations.

(2)   These computations exclude Series B preferred stock balances as it is non-convertible.

Forward Looking Statements — Cautionary Language

Certain statements made in this release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA").  A forward-looking statement is a statement that is not a historical fact and, without limitation, includes any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain words like: "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "estimate", "project", "will", "shall" and other words or phrases with similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance.  In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, trends in Lincoln’s businesses, prospective services or products, future performance or financial results, and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings.  Lincoln claims the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results contained in the forward-looking statements.  Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to vary materially, some of which are described within the forward-looking statements include, among others:

·   Continued deterioration in general economic and business conditions, both domestic and foreign, that may affect foreign exchange rates, premium levels, claims experience, the level of pension benefit costs and funding and investment results;

·   Continued economic declines and credit market illiquidity could cause Lincoln to realize additional impairments on investments and certain intangible assets, including goodwill and a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, which may reduce future earnings and/or affect Lincoln’s financial condition and ability to raise additional capital or refinance existing debt as it matures;

·   Continued uncertainty about the impact of existing or new stimulus legislation on the economy;

·   The cost and other consequences of Lincoln’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program, including the impact of existing and future regulations to which Lincoln and/or its subsidiaries may become subject;

·   Legislative, regulatory or tax changes, both domestic and foreign, that affect the cost of, or demand for, Lincoln subsidiaries’ products, the required amount of reserves and/or surplus, or otherwise affect Lincoln’s ability to conduct business, including changes to statutory reserves and/or risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements related to secondary guarantees under universal life and variable annuity products such as Actuarial Guideline (“AG”) 43 (“AG43” also known as Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method for Variable Annuities or “VACARVM”); restrictions on revenue sharing and 12b-1 payments; and the potential for U.S. Federal tax reform;

·   The initiation of legal or regulatory proceedings against Lincoln, and the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings, such as:  adverse actions related to present or past business practices common in businesses in which Lincoln and its subsidiaries compete; adverse decisions in significant actions including, but not limited to, actions brought by federal and state authorities and extra-contractual and class action damage cases; new decisions that result in changes in law; and  unexpected trial court rulings;

·   Changes in interest rates causing a reduction of investment income, the margins of Lincoln subsidiaries’ fixed annuity and life insurance businesses and demand for their products;

·   A decline in the equity markets causing a reduction in the sales of Lincoln subsidiaries’ products, a reduction of asset-based fees that Lincoln subsidiaries charge on various investment and insurance products, an acceleration of amortization of deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired, deferred sales inducements and deferred front-end loads and an increase in liabilities related to guaranteed benefit features of Lincoln subsidiaries’ variable annuity products;

·   Ineffectiveness of Lincoln’s various hedging strategies used to offset the impact of changes in the value of liabilities due to changes in the level and volatility of the equity markets and interest rates;

·   A deviation in actual experience regarding future persistency, mortality, morbidity, interest rates or equity market returns from the assumptions used in pricing Lincoln subsidiaries’ products, in establishing related insurance reserves and in the amortization of intangibles that may result in an increase in reserves and a decrease in net income;

·   Changes in GAAP that may result in unanticipated changes to Lincoln’s  net income;

·   Lowering of one or more of Lincoln's debt ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and the adverse impact such action may have on Lincoln's ability to raise capital and on its liquidity and financial condition;

·   Lowering of one or more of the insurer financial strength ratings of Lincoln’s insurance subsidiaries and the adverse impact such action may have on the premium writings, policy retention, profitability of Lincoln’s insurance subsidiaries and liquidity;

·   Significant credit, accounting, fraud or corporate governance issues that may adversely affect the value of certain investments in Lincoln’s portfolios requiring that Lincoln realize losses on such investments;

·   The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including Lincoln’s ability to integrate acquisitions and to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from acquisitions;

·   The adequacy and collectibility of reinsurance that Lincoln has purchased;

·   Acts of terrorism, a pandemic, war or other man-made and natural catastrophes that may adversely affect Lincoln’s businesses and the cost and availability of reinsurance;

·   Competitive conditions, including pricing pressures, new product offerings and the emergence of new competitors, that may affect the level of premiums and fees that Lincoln subsidiaries can charge for their products;

·   The unknown impact on Lincoln subsidiaries’ businesses resulting from changes in the demographics of their client base, as aging baby-boomers move from the asset-accumulation stage to the asset-distribution stage of life; and

·   Loss of key management, financial planners or wholesalers.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Lincoln's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the SEC include additional factors which could impact the business of Lincoln's subsidiaries and Lincoln’s financial performance. Moreover, Lincoln and its subsidiaries operates in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.

Further, it is not possible to assess the impact of all risk factors on business of Lincoln's subsidiaries or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, Lincoln disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this release.
