NOTES
Definitions and Presentation
"Income 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 to arrive at income 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 related trading securities;
		*    Change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of our guaranteed living benefits within our variable annuities ("GLB")
		net of the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge the changes in the embedded derivative
		("GLB net derivatives results");
		*    Net difference between the benefit ratio unlocking of SOP 03-1 reserves on our guaranteed death benefit ("GDB") riders
		within our variable annuities and the change in the fair value of the derivatives excluding our expected cost of the hedging
		instruments ("GDB 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 as required under
		SFAS 133 and SFAS 157 ("indexed annuity forward-starting option");
	*    Income (loss) from the initial adoption of changes in accounting principles;
	*    Income (loss) from reserve changes (net of related amortization) on business sold through reinsurance;
	*    Losses on early retirement of debt, including subordinated 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 of deferred gains arising from the reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance; and
	*    Revenue adjustments from the initial impact of the adoption of changes in accounting principles.
*	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 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 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, spreads and assets under
	management.
*	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
	*    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, DSI and the calculations of embedded derivatives and reserves for
	annuity and life insurance products with certain guarantees.  These updates to assumptions result in unlocking that represents 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 SOP 03-1, SFAS 133 and SFAS 157 reserves.
*	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.

		iii
*	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 definitive agreements 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 (loss) from discontinued
operations for all periods presented on the Financial Highlights, Results Summary and Consolidated Statements of Income pages.
Inter-segment transfer refers to a transfer from Retirement Solutions - Annuities to Retirement Solutions - Defined Contribution.
Reclassifications
Subsequent to the second quarter of 2008, we announced the realignment of our segments under our former Individual Markets and Employer
Markets operating businesses into two new operating businesses - Retirement Solutions and Insurance Solutions.  In addition to the realignment,
the results of our Executive Benefits business are no longer reported separately, but are included in our Life Insurance segment.  We have restated
all periods presented to conform to the new alignment of our businesses and segments.  We view the changes to the existing segments as
immaterial.

(1)   Income from operations includes restructuring charges, after-tax, of $0.3 million, or -0- cents per share, and $4.8 million, or 2 cents per share, for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $1.6 million, or 1     cent per share, and $11.3 million, or 4 cents per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(2)   See page 6 for detail.

(3)   During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded goodwill impairment of $83.4 million and impairment of our FCC license intangible assets of $91.6 million, pre-tax, and $55.6 million, after-tax, on our remaining radio clusters.  These impairments were attributable primarily to declines in advertising revenues for the entire radio market, which resulted in declines in current and forecasted broadcast cash flows.  Therefore, we updated our impairment review, outside of our annual process normally completed as of October 1 each year, as of April 1, 2008.

(4)  Includes discontinued operations and the loss on disposal.  See Discontinued Operations on page 29 for details.

(5)  The income used in the calculation of our diluted earnings per share is reduced by minority interest adjustments related to outstanding stock options under the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc stock option incentive plan. See page 5 for detail of minority interest adjustments.

(1) 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.
(2) We exclude from our definitions of income from operations and operating revenues any realized gains (losses) that are not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and in many instances, decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments.
(3) 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 annuities 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.
(4) Represents the portion of the GLB rider fees calculated as the attributed fees in excess of the net valuation premium. Net valuation premium represents a level portion of rider fees required to fund potential living benefit claims. The attributed fees are the fees used in the calculation of the embedded derivative and represent net valuation premium plus a margin for risk/profit, as well as the non-performance risk factor required by SFAS 157 benefit costs.
(5) We include the change in the fair value of the derivatives that offsets the benefit ratio unlocking of our SOP 03-1 reserves on our GDB riders, including our expected cost of the hedging instruments in operating realized gain (loss). We exclude from our definition of income from operations the net difference between the benefit ratio unlocking of SOP 03-1 reserves on our GDB riders and the change in the fair value of the derivatives excluding our expected cost of the hedging instruments.
(6)   See page 32 for detail.
(7) 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.
(8) Represents the net valuation premium, the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of our GLB products and the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments we own to hedge, including the cost of hedging. Refer to the table above titled "Components of GLB Net Derivatives Results" for a detailed breakout of the GLB net derivatives results line item.
(9) 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 as required under SFAS 133 and SFAS 157. These fair values represent an estimate of the cost of the options we will purchase in the future, discounted back to the date of the balance sheet, using current market indications of volatility and interest rates, which may vary significantly from period to period due to a number of factors and therefore can provide results that are not indicative of the underlying trends. In addition, $9.6 million, pre-tax, and $6.3 million, after-tax, is included in the first quarter of 2008 due to the initial impact of adopting SFAS 157.
(10) Amounts are before the associated amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL.

(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) 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 4 and 5 and disclosed above.

(3) 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 4 and 5 and

disclosed above.

(4)  Represents the portion of the GLB rider fees calculated as the attributed fees in excess of the net valuation premium.  Net valuation premium represents a level portion of rider fees required to fund potential claims for living benefits.  The attributed fees are the fees used in the calculation of the embedded derivative and represent net valuation premium plus a margin that a theoretical market participant would include for risk/profit, as well as non-performance risk factor required by SFAS 157 benefit costs.  This portion of the attributed fee is reported in realized gain (loss) and is included in income from operations and operating revenues.

(5)  Represents the portion of rider fee revenue for GLB required to fund the net valuation premium.  This portion of the attributed fee is reported in realized gain (loss) and is excluded in income from operations and

operating revenues.

(6) 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.

(7) 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)       Sales consist of first year commissionable premiums of UL and VUL, including COLI and BOLI,plus 5% of excess premiums received, including an adjustment for internal replacements at approximately 50% of target; first year  paid premiums for whole life and term products; and 15% of premium deposits for linked-benefit products.
(2)       COLI and BOLI are interest-sensitive and contain both UL and VUL products.
(3)     Includes UL, interest-sensitive whole life and the fixed investment option of variable universal life products.
(4)       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.
(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 September 30, 2008, interest-sensitive products represented approximately 85% of total interest-sensitive and traditional earning assets.
