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 associated with the following (see page 6 for additional detail) ("Excluded realized gains
	and losses");
		*    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);
		*    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 133/157 ("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; and
	*    Income (loss) from discontinued operations.
*	"Operating Revenues" represent GAAP revenues excluding the following, as applicable:
	*    Excluded realized gains and losses;
	*    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 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 not related to decisions regarding the underlying businesses and/or are unpredictable.  Accordingly, Income from
Operations and Operating Revenues exclude the effects of 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.  We report the impact of these items, net of associated impact of
amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL and changes in other contract holder funds, within realized gain (loss).
*	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, 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.
*	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
Subsequent to the first quarter of 2008, we decided to change our non-GAAP measures, “Operating Revenues” and “Income from
Operations”, to exclude the effects of 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.  We believe that our new definitions of “Operating Revenues” and “Income from Operations” provide
investors with a more valuable measure of our performance because it better reveals trends in our business.  The items that are now
excluded from our operating results that were previously included are as follows: GLB net derivatives results; indexed annuity
forward-starting option; and GDB derivative results.  See page 6 for more information about these items.
We have restated all periods presented to conform to our new definition of "Income from Operations," "Operating Revenues" and "Return
on Capital."  In addition, we have reclassified our derivatives and embedded derivatives related to our GLB, GDB and indexed annuities to
realized gain (loss), which were previously reported within insurance fees, net investment income, interest credited or benefits. The
associated amortization expense of DAC and VOBA (previously reported within underwriting, acquisition, insurance and other expenses),
DSI (previously reported within interest credited) and DFEL (previously reported within insurance fees) and changes in contract holder
funds (previously reported within benefits) have also been reclassified to realized gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on net
income or total stockholders' equity.  Therefore, we have restated prior periods for these segments to conform to the current presentation.
All items that changed from our previously filed first quarter 2008 Statistical Report are highlighted in blue throughout the document
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.

(1)  DAC refers to the associated amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI, and DFEL and changes in other contract holder funds.

(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)  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.

(4)   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, including 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 35 for detail.

(7)   Changes in the fair values of total return swaps (embedded derivatives) related to 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 difference in the change in the 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.  This includes the cost of hedging.  The impact of the initial adoption of SFAS 157 was $33.5 million pre-tax and $21.8 million, after-tax in the first quarter of 2008.

(9)   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 133/157.  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.

(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.
(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) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) 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 7 and 8 and disclosed above.
(6) 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 7 and 8 and disclosed above.
(7) The portion of the GLB rider fees calculated as the attributed fees in excess of the net valuation premium. The attributed fees are the fees used in the calculation of the
embedded derivative. The net valuation premium represents the rider fees equal to the net present value of future benefit costs. This portion of the attributed fee is reported in
realized gains and losses and included in income from operations and operating revenue.
(8) 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 gains and losses and
excluded in income from operations and operating revenue.
(9) 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.
(10) 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 like 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

     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.
