NEWS RELEASE

Lincoln Financial Group Reports First Quarter 2008 Results

_____________________________________________

Long-term earnings drivers and capital position remain strong despite volatile markets

Year-over-year net flows up 57% in individual annuities and 27% in defined contribution

Philadelphia, PA, April 29, 2008 – Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) today reported net income of $289 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008, versus $396 million, or $1.42 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Net income for the current quarter included net realized losses on investments and derivatives of $27 million, after tax, or $0.10 per diluted share, versus net realized gains on investments and derivatives of $17 million, after tax, or $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2007. Additionally, net income included a one-time cumulative charge from the adoption of accounting standard SFAS 157 of $16 million, after tax and deferred acquisition costs (DAC), in the first quarter of 2008.

Income from operations for the first quarter of 2008 was $333 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2007 income from operations of $371 million, or $1.33 per diluted share. Return on equity (ROE), based on income from operations, was 11.6% for the first quarter of 2008.

The table attached to this release defines and reconciles income from operations, ROE, and book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), non-GAAP measures, to net income, ROE, and book value per share including AOCI calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Income from operations in the first quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by approximately $9 million, after tax, on a consolidated basis, due to adverse equity market returns. This estimate isolates the impact of the equity markets on account values and assets under management and represents only the related asset based fees earned and expenses incurred, after the associated DAC amortization.

The company recorded a loss of $5 million, pre tax, on alternative investments in the quarter, falling below long-term expectations of 10-12% returns on the nearly $800 million portfolio. In the 2007 quarter, income on alternative investments was $20 million, pre tax.

Dennis R. Glass, president and CEO, said, “Despite the impact of the capital markets on the current quarter’s results, our focused execution has delivered strong results in our underlying long-term earnings drivers. Individual annuity and defined contribution account balances benefited from strong net flows, reflecting our continued progress in wholesaler expansion and increased shelf space. Fundamentals were solid in both our individual life and group protection businesses with stable growth in universal life in-force and double-digit growth in group protection net earned premiums. While we are watching expenses closely, we continue to invest in our core strategic initiatives, including product development and distribution, to ensure continued growth in the business.”

Glass added, “Lincoln Financial’s capital position and investment portfolio remain solid, with a strong overall credit quality and manageable exposures to risky asset classes. We continue to closely monitor our portfolio and market conditions and remain comfortable with the positioning of our balance sheet. Despite the difficult market conditions, we returned $393 million to shareholders through stock repurchase and dividend payments in the first quarter of the year.”

First Quarter 2008 Segment Results

Individual Markets

Individual Annuities

Income from operations for the Individual Annuities segment was $129 million in the first quarter of 2008 versus $121 million in the year-ago period. Earnings were impacted by a decline in average variable account balances of $3.3 billion in the current period, a result of negative market returns partially offset by positive net flows. In addition, the current quarter benefited by approximately $10 million, after tax, from net notable items. Favorable hedge program performance related to the adoption of SFAS 157 and positive DAC unlocking were partially offset by the negative impact of SFAS 133 fair value accounting on liabilities related to indexed annuity products.

In the quarter, gross deposits were $3.0 billion, up 7% over the year-ago period. Net flows for the segment were up 57% to $1.2 billion, reflecting solid variable annuity product flows and lower fixed annuity product outflows. Strong deposits and net flows over the past four quarters contributed to a 12% increase in average variable account values over the prior-year period. Variable annuity product sales were $2.7 billion, reflecting successful launches in the Independent Planner channel and traction in the Bank channel, which grew sales 19% as compared to the first quarter of 2007.

Individual Life Insurance

Individual Life Insurance income from operations was $145 million, compared to $167 million in the first quarter of 2007. The current quarter’s results included a net negative impact of approximately $9 million, after tax, primarily related to negative DAC unlocking and unfavorable mortality experience. The segment was also impacted by negative returns on the alternative investment portfolio, as compared to especially strong returns in 2007.

Individual life insurance sales, reported as paid annualized premiums, were $145 million in the first quarter, down 29% from a strong first quarter of production in 2007. Life insurance sales experienced some adverse effects from the current economic conditions and a competitive pricing environment. MoneyGuard®, a universal life insurance policy with a long-term care rider, continued to post solid gains as sales increased 50% from the prior-year period.

Employer Markets

Defined Contribution

First quarter income from operations for Defined Contribution was $40 million, versus $50 million for the same period a year ago. Earnings were impacted by a decline in average variable account balances of $1.7 billion in the current period, a result of negative market returns partially offset by positive net flows. The 2008 quarter also included approximately $2 million, after tax, of negative DAC unlocking.

In the quarter, overall deposits were $1.6 billion, driving total net flows to $281 million, a 27% increase over the first quarter of 2007. Deposits in the mid-to-large market increased 8% to $769 million and net inflows were $610 million. Deposits in the micro-to-small market increased 9% to $499 million and net outflows were $70 million. Productivity gains in the mid-to-large and micro-to-small markets were partially offset by continued weakness in the Lincoln Multi-FundÒ Variable Annuity, an older small-to-medium case retirement plan solution.

Executive Benefits

In the quarter, income from operations for Executive Benefits was $12 million, consistent with results in the first quarter of 2007.

Group Protection

For the first quarter, Group Protection’s income from operations was $26 million, versus $23 million in the prior-year period. Non-medical loss ratios in the 2008 quarter were 71.0% versus 72.7% in 2007.

Strong sales results in the fourth quarter of 2007 contributed to net earned premiums of $370 million in the first quarter, up 12% over the prior-year quarter. Annualized written premiums were $54 million, compared to $61 million in the 2007 quarter. The decline was driven by weak sales early in the quarter, which rebounded throughout the rest of the quarter.

Investment Management

The Investment Management segment reported income from operations of $12 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $16 million in the prior year period. The current quarter reflected the impact of volatile equity markets and the sale of certain fixed income assets in late 2007, both of which reduced asset levels and third-party investment advisory fees. Additionally, the equity markets resulted in negative returns on seed capital reducing income from operations by approximately $3 million, after tax in the current quarter.

Total deposits for the quarter were $4.7 billion compared to $6.0 billion a year ago. Retail sales were $3.5 billion, down modestly from the 2007 quarter, despite the challenging equity market environment. Total institutional deposits and net outflows were $1.2 billion and $510 million, respectively. Institutional equity inflows grew 13% to $986 million, reflecting new client fundings and the normal lumpiness of flows in this product line.

Lincoln UK

For the first quarter, the UK segment’s income from operations was $11 million, consistent with results in the first quarter of 2007.

Other Operations

The operating loss in Other Operations was $42 million in the quarter, versus $28 million in the prior-year quarter. The 2008 quarter was negatively impacted by approximately $4 million, after tax, primarily related to expenses and included approximately $15 million, pre tax, of merger-related expenses.

Capital and Share Repurchase

As of March 31, 2008, the book value per share of Lincoln National Corporation common stock, including AOCI, was $42.74, compared with $44.42 a year ago. Book value per share, excluding AOCI, was $43.98, compared with $41.98 a year ago. Lincoln Financial repurchased 5.45 million shares in the first quarter at a total cost of $286 million.

Realized Gains and Losses/Impairment Charge

The company reported net realized losses on investments and derivatives of $27 million, after tax and DAC, in the quarter. Gross realized losses from the write downs for impairments were $92 million, pre tax and DAC, including write downs of $43 million for declines in values on securities for which the company is uncertain of its intent to hold until recovery.

2008 Outlook

Lincoln Financial does not expect material changes to its previous guidance except for those items noted below. Equity market sensitivity will be updated in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, filed with the SEC.

Individual Life

·	Sales are expected to increase throughout the year as compared to first quarter results, benefiting from ongoing product enhancements and normal seasonality trends.

Employer Markets

·	Fixed annuity spreads are expected in the 210-220 basis point range, reflecting continued pressure on portfolio yields mitigated somewhat by anticipated crediting rate action.

Investment Management

·	Investment Management income from operations is expected to be in the low to mid $50 million range, reflecting the equity market declines in the first quarter of the year.

·	Pre-tax operating margins are expected in the range of 15-17%, recognizing results are sensitive to equity market movements.

Merger Integration

·	Merger-related expenses are expected to range from $15-20 million, pre tax, in the second quarter.

Capital Management

·	Lincoln Financial intends to repurchase approximately $200-300 million of stock during the remainder of 2008.

This outlook contains estimates that are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Lincoln Financial’s actual experience in 2008 will almost certainly differ from many of the assumptions utilized in the outlook and the company’s expectations for these and a large number of other factors will probably change, leading us to revise our estimates over time. Please see the Forward-Looking Statements – Cautionary Language that follow for additional factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations.

Lincoln Financial Group will discuss the company’s first quarter results and outlook for 2008 with investors in a conference call beginning at 11:00 a.m. (ET) on Wednesday, April 30, 2008.

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. Income (loss) from operations represents GAAP net income excluding, as applicable, realized gains and losses on investments and derivatives, initial impact of the adoption of changes in accounting principles, reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance, gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and blocks of businesses, losses on early retirement of debt 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 operations in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in the company's current business because the excluded items are either unpredictable and/or not related to decisions regarding the underlying businesses.

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 by (b) common shares outstanding. Management provides book value per share excluding AOCI to enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is primarily attributable to the 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 March 31, 2008 and 2007 is set forth below.

Forward-Looking Statements—Cautionary Language

Certain statements made in this release and in other written or oral statements made by Lincoln or on Lincoln's behalf 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 our 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:

Legislative, regulatory or tax changes, both domestic and foreign, that affect the cost of, or demand for, Lincoln’s products, the required amount of reserves and/or surplus, or otherwise affect our ability to conduct business, including changes to statutory reserves and/or risk-based capital requirements related to secondary guarantees under universal life and variable annuity products such as Actuarial Guideline 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 or its subsidiaries, and the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings, such as: (a) adverse actions related to present or past business practices common in businesses in which Lincoln and its subsidiaries compete; (b) 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; (c) new decisions that result in changes in law; and (d) unexpected trial court rulings;

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

A decline in the equity markets causing a reduction in the sales of Lincoln’s products, a reduction of asset-based fees that Lincoln charges 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’s 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 Lincoln’s assumptions used in pricing its 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, including as a result of investor-owned life insurance business;

·	Changes in GAAP that may result in unanticipated changes to Lincoln’s net income, including the impact of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” and SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities;”

·	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 and profitability of its insurance subsidiaries;

·	Significant credit, accounting, fraud or corporate governance issues that may adversely affect the value of certain investments in the portfolios of Lincoln’s companies 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, including Lincoln’s ability to successfully integrate Jefferson-Pilot’s businesses, to achieve the expected synergies from the merger or to achieve such synergies within our expected timeframe;

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

·	Acts of terrorism, 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 can charge for its products;

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

·	Loss of key management, portfolio managers in the Investment Management segment, financial planners or wholesalers; and

·	Changes in general economic or business conditions, both domestic and foreign, that may be less favorable than expected and may affect foreign exchange rates, premium levels, claims experience, the level of pension benefit costs and funding and investment results.

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 Lincoln's business and financial performance. Moreover, Lincoln 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 Lincoln's business 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 the report.

NOTES


Definitions and Presentation
"Income from Operations," "Operating Revenues," and "Return on Capital" are non-GAAP financial measures and do not replace
GAAP revenues and net income (loss). 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 to arrive at income from operations:
	* Realized gains and losses on investments and derivatives;
	* Gains and losses related to reinsurance embedded derivatives/trading account securities;
	* The initial impact of the adoption of changes in accounting principles;
	* Reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance net of related deferred gain amortization;
	* Gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and blocks of business;
	* Losses on early retirement of debt, including subordinated debt; and
	* Income (loss) from discontinued operations.

*	Operating revenues represent GAAP revenues excluding the following, as applicable:
	* Realized gains and losses on investments and derivatives;
	* Gains and losses related to reinsurance embedded derivatives/trading account securities;
	* Gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and blocks of business; and
	* Deferred gain amortization related to reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance.

*	Return on capital measures the effectiveness of LNC's use of its 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 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 LNC's consolidated results.

Income from operations, operating revenues, and return on capital are internal measures used by LNC in the management of its
operations. Management believes that these performance measures explain the results of LNC's ongoing operations
in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in LNC's current business because the excluded
items are either unpredictable and/or not related to decisions regarding the underlying businesses.

*	Certain operating and statistical measures are included in this report to provide supplemental data regarding the
	performance of LNC's current business. These measures include deposits, sales, net flows, first year premiums,
	in force, spreads and assets under management.

*	Sales as reported consist of the following:
	* Universal Life ("UL"), including MoneyGuard®, and corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") - first year
	commissionable premiums plus 5% of excess premiums received, including UL internal replacements;
	* Whole Life and Term - first year paid premiums;
	* Annuity - deposits from new and existing customers;
	* Group Protection - annualized first year premiums from new policies; and
	* Investment Management Retail Sales and Institutional Inflows - contributions, transfer in kind purchases
	and reinvested dividends for new and existing accounts.

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 and DSI. These updates to
	assumptions result in unlocking that represents an increase or decrease to our carrying value of DAC, VOBA,
	DFEL and DSI based upon our updated view of future EGPs. The various assumptions that are reviewed include
	investment margins, mortality, expenses and persistency.

*	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.

*	Our unlocking process also includes our reserves for our guaranteed benefit features and is described more fully
	in “Part II - Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
	Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our 2007 Form 10-K.


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, by (b) common shares outstanding. 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. 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.

In 2007, we executed plans to divest our television broadcasting, sports programming and Charlotte radio stations. During the
fourth quarter of 2007, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our television broadcasting, Charlotte radio and sports
programming businesses. The divestiture of the sports programming business closed on November 30, 2007, the Charlotte
radio station business closed on January 31, 2008 and the television broadcasting closed on March 31, 2008. Accordingly, in
the periods prior to the closings, the assets and liabilities of these businesses not sold have been reclassified as held-for-sale
for all periods presented, and are reported within other assets and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
results of operations of these businesses have been reclassified into income from discontinued operations for all periods
presented on the Financial Highlights, Operating Results Summary and Consolidated Statements of Income.

Inter-segment transfer refers to a transfer from Individual Markets - Annuities to Employer Markets - Defined Contribution.

Reclassifications
During the first quarter of 2008, our Institutional Pension business was moved from the Executive Benefits segment to Other
Operations. Therefore, we have restated prior periods for these segments to conform to the current presentation. Certain other
amounts reported in prior periods have also been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on net income or total stockholders' equity in the prior periods.

(1) Interest sensitive contract holder assessments in the second quarter of 2007 includes +.017 related to certain adjustments.
(2) Includes universal life, interest sensitive whole life and the fixed investment option of VUL products.
(3) Interest Sensitive Products - For the 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. Traditional Products - The yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on traditional investment portfolios divided by average earning assets. As of March 31, 2008, interest sensitive products represented approximately 81% of total interest sensitive and traditional earning assets.
(4) The net investment income and spread reported above includes earnings from commercial mortgage loan prepayment and bond make-whole premiums. The impact
of these premiums on investment income and spread for interest sensitive products was 4 bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, 16 bps in the 4th quarter of 2007, 9 bps
in the 3rd quarter of 2007, 22 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007 and 21 bps in the 1st quarter of 2007. There was an impact on traditional products of 15 bps in the
1st quarter of 2008, 2 bps in the 4th quarter of 2007, 9 bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007, 14 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007 and 2 bps in the 1st quarter of 2007.
(5) The net investment income and spread above include earnings from alternative investments, such as limited partnerships. The impact of these investments on
investment income yields for interest sensitive products was (8) bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, 5 bps in the 4th quarter of 2007, (4) bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007,
70 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007 and 14 bps in the 1st quarter of 2007. The impact of these investments on traditional products was (3) bps in the 1st quarter of
2008, (1) bp in the 4th quarter of 2007 and (6) bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007.
(6) The net investment income and spread above is partially offset by amortization associated with prepayment fee income. The impact of this offset to interest sensitive products was -0- bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, 1 bp in the 4th quarter of 2007, -0- bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007 and 8 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007. There was an impact on traditional products of 4 bps in the 1st quarter of 2008.

(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 earning assets. 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 on annuity products 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. We exclude the results of our indexed annuity hedge program from our calculation of spreads, the impact of which affects net investment income and interest credited in approximately equal and offsetting amounts.
(2) The net investment income and spread reported above includes earnings from commercial mortgage loan prepayment and bond make-whole premiums. The impact of these premiums on investment income and spread was 5 bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, 11 bps in the 4th quarter of 2007, 4 bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007, 11 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007 and 5 bps in the 1st quarter of 2007.
(3) The 2007 spreads reflect a correction (a decrease) to interest credited to contract holders related to a correction to the opening balance sheet of JP that was finalized in the first quarter of 2007. The impact of this correction was 9 bps in the first quarter of 2007.
(4) Interest credited and our spreads include the impact of changes in the fair value of the SFAS 133/157 forward starting option liability related to our indexed annuity products. The impact of these changes in fair value on our spreads was (24) bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, (34) bps in the fourth quarter of 2007, (31) bps in the third quarter of 2007, 24 bps in the second quarter of 2007 and (10) bps in the first quarter of 2007.
(5) In the first quarter of 2008, we updated previously reported historical net investment income yields and interest rate spreads to conform to the presentation in the first quarter of 2008, which is excluding hedge derivatives and collateral from average earning assets. The impact of the changes on spreads range from 6 bps - 8 bps per quarter.

(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
earning assets. We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus from our spread calculations. The average crediting rate is
calculated using interest credited on annuity products less amortization related to DSI interest, divided by average fixed account values.
(2) The net investment income and spread reported above includes earnings from commercial mortgage loan prepayment and bond make-whole premiums. The impact of these premiums on investment income and spread was 2 bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, 5 bps in the 4th quarter of 2007, 7 bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007, 9 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007 and 3 bps in the 1st quarter of 2007.
(3) The net investment income and spread reported above include earnings from alternative investments, such as limited partnerships and hedge funds. The impact on investment income yields from these investments was (6) bps in the 1st quarter of 2008, (2) bps in the 4th quarter of 2007, (11) bps in the 3rd quarter of 2007, 11 bps in the 2nd quarter of 2007 and 7 bps in the 1st quarter of 2007.
