Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Lincoln National Corporation Plan Administrator
Lincoln National Corporation
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company Agents’ Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
 
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
The investment in Lincoln National Corporation ("LNC") common stock is valued at the closing sales price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Listing on the last business day of the year.
 
The Wells Fargo Bank Short-Term Investment Account is valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
The fair value of participation units in pooled separate accounts is estimated by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company based on quoted redemption value on the last business day of the year.
 
The investment contracts are valued at contract value as estimated by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"). Contract value represents net contributions plus interest at the contract rate. The contracts are fully benefit-responsive.
 
Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
 
The cost of investments sold, distributed or forfeited is determined using the specific identification method. Investment purchases and sales are accounted for on a trade-date basis.
 
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Use of Estimates
 
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. Description of the Plan
 
The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company Agents' Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan ("Plan") is a contributory, defined contribution plan which covers eligible full-time agents of Lincoln Life and other participating employers. A participant may make pre-tax contributions at a rate of at least 1% but not more than 25% of eligible earnings, up to a maximum annual amount as determined under applicable law. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
 
In addition to each participant's pre-tax contributions, employer matching contributions to the Plan are provided in the form of a basic match of $0.50 for each dollar a participant contributes, not to exceed 6% of eligible earnings, and an annual discretionary match of up to $1.00 for each dollar contributed by an eligible participant, not to exceed 6% of eligible earnings. Participants employed on the last day of the plan year are eligible to receive the discretionary match, as are participants who retired, died, or became disabled during the plan year. The amount of the discretionary match varies according to whether LNC and Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation have met certain performance-based criteria, as determined by the Compensation Committee of LNC's Board of Directors.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)
 
Participants’ pre-tax, other contributions, and earnings thereon are fully vested at all times. Employer contributions vest based upon years of service as defined in the Plan agreement as follows:
 
   
Years of Service
Percent Vested
1
0%
2
50%
3 or more
100%
   
 
Participants direct the Plan to invest their contributions and the basic employer matching contributions in any combination of the investment options offered under the Plan. Discretionary employer contributions are initially invested in the LNC Common Stock Account; however, participants can immediately direct the investment of the discretionary employer matching contributions to other investment options.
 
The employer has the right to discontinue contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the Plan, all amounts allocated to participants' accounts shall become fully vested.
 
The Plan may make loans to participants in amounts up to 50% of the vested account value to a maximum of $50,000 but not more than the total value of the participant's accounts excluding employer contributions that have not been in the Plan for two full years, less the highest outstanding loan balance in the previous 12 month period. Interest charged on new loans to participants is established monthly based upon the prime rate plus 1%. Loans may be repaid over any period selected by the participant up to a maximum repayment period of 5 years except that the maximum repayment period may be 20 years for the purchase of a principal residence.
 
Upon termination of service due to disability or retirement, a participant or beneficiary, in case of the participant's death, may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the entire value of the participant's account or an installment option if certain criteria are met. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. Vested account balances less than $1,000 are immediately distributable under the terms of the Plan, without the participant's consent, unless the participant has made a timely election of rollover to an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") or other qualified arrangement.
 
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, employer contributions, and applicable investment earnings thereon, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses and applicable investment losses. Forfeited non-vested amounts are used to reduce future employer contributions.

The investment contracts (Guaranteed Account) earned an average interest rate of approximately 4.0% in all three years. The credited interest rates for new contributions, which approximate the current market rate, were 4.0% at both December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The rate on new contributions is guaranteed through the three succeeding calendar year quarters. The credited interest rates for the remaining contract value balance was 4.0% at both December 31, 2005 and 2004, and were determined based upon the performance of Lincoln Life's general account. The credited interest rates can be changed quarterly. The minimum guaranteed rate is 4.0%. The guarantee is based on Lincoln Life's ability to meet its financial obligations from the general assets of Lincoln Life. Restrictions apply to the aggregate movement of funds to other investment options. The fair value of the investment contracts approximates contract value. Participants are allocated interest on the investment contracts based on the average rate earned on all plan investments in the investment contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
   
   
4. Investment Options (continued)
   
Investment options 3 through 24 are invested in pooled separate accounts of Lincoln Life through a group annuity contract issued by Lincoln Life.
   
5. Income Tax Status
   
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated April 30, 2004, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. To maintain its qualification, the Plan must operate in conformity with the Code. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. The Plan Sponsor has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plan's qualified status.
   
6. Tax Implications to Participants
   
There are no income tax consequences to participants arising from their pre‑tax contributions, the Employer's contributions, and income earned in the Plan until actual distribution or withdrawal from the Plan.
   
7. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
   
The Plan has investments in common stock of LNC and in pooled separate accounts and investment contracts with Lincoln Life. Lincoln Life charges the Plan for certain administrative expenses including trustee and audit fees. Total administrative expenses charged were $168,180, $128,210, and $103,179 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
   
8. Concentrations of Credit Risks and Market Risks
   
The Plan has investments in common stock of LNC, pooled separate accounts, and unallocated investment contracts with Lincoln Life of $53,923,715, $108,129,318, and $14,904,976, respectively, at December 31, 2005 (29.5%, 59.2% and 8.2% of net assets, respectively). LNC and Lincoln Life operate predominately in the insurance and investment management industries.
   
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks including, but not limited to, interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.
