contracts it supports. You choose the fund or funds in which a variable account
invests your contract assets. In effect, you invest indirectly in the fund(s)
that you choose under your contract.
 
Each fund Prospectus discusses the information about the fund that you ought to
know before choosing to invest your contract assets in one or more of the funds.
You can find information unique to each fund in that fund's Prospectus. You can
find information common to all funds in the General Prospectus Disclosure
following the individual fund Prospectuses.

LINCOLN NATIONAL
BOND FUND, INC.
 
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
 
The investment objective of the Bond Fund (fund) is maximum current income
(yield) consistent with a prudent investment strategy. The fund pursues this
objective primarily by buying and holding (investing in) a diverse group of
domestic fixed income securities (debt obligations). These securities include
high-quality investment-grade bonds issued by U.S. corporations, obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and securities backed by mortgages
on real estate (mortgage-backed securities). The fund also invests in
medium-grade corporate bonds. The fund also invests a small percentage of assets
in corporate bonds rated lower than medium-grade (junk bonds) and high-quality
U.S. dollar-denominated foreign debt obligations. The fund invests in
significant amounts of debt obligations with medium term maturities (5-15 years)
and some debt obligations with short term maturities (0-5 years) and long term
maturities (over 15 years).
 
The fund's investment strategy is:
 
- - to determine appropriate levels of interest rate risk and credit risk for the
  fund, based on U.S. and world economic developments, and
 
- - then hold a diverse group of debt obligations that offer the most attractive
  yields given the anticipated environment.
 
The main investment risks of choosing to invest your contract assets in the fund
are as follows:
 
- - the value of the debt obligations held by the fund -- and therefore, the value
  of the fund's shares -- will fluctuate with changes in interest rates and you
  could lose money (interest rate risk);
 
- - issuers of the debt obligations held by the fund could fail to make interest
  or principal payments on time, causing the value of those debt obligations --
  and, therefore, the value of the fund's shares -- to fall (credit risk);
 
- - the amount of current income generated by the fund will fluctuate with changes
  in current interest rates, and generally will fall as current interest rates
  fall;
 
- - the value of the mortgage-backed securities held by the fund -- and therefore,
  the value of the fund's shares -- may fluctuate with changes in interest rates
  more widely than the value of investment-grade debt obligations;
 
- - because the fund invests a small amount in junk bonds, the fund involves more
  risk of loss than that normally associated with a bond fund that invests only
  in investment-grade debt obligations; and
 
- - because the fund holds a small amount of high-quality dollar-denominated
  foreign debt obligations, the fund involves more risk of loss from foreign
  government or political actions than that normally associated with a bond fund
  that does not invest in foreign debt obligations.
 
The following information provides some indication of the risks of choosing to
invest your contract assets in the fund. The information shows:
 
- - changes in the fund's performance from year to year and
 
- - how the fund's average annual returns for one, five and ten year periods
  compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.
 
Please note that the past performance of the fund is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Further, the returns
shown do not reflect variable contract expenses. If reflected the returns shown
would be lower.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
The investment objective of the fund is maximum current income consistent with a
prudent investment strategy.
 
The fund pursues this objective primarily by investing in a diverse group of
domestic debt obligations. The fund invests in significant amounts of debt
obligations with medium term maturities (5-15 years) and some debt obligations
with short term maturities (0-5 years) and long term maturities (over 15 years).
(A debt obligation's "maturity" refers to the time period remaining until the
debt obligation's issuer must repay the principal amount of the debt
obligation.) The fund will invest primarily in a combination of:
 
- - high-quality investment-grade corporate bonds;
 
- - obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
  instrumentalities; and
 
- - mortgage-backed securities.
 
Investment-grade corporate bonds are debt obligations rated at the time of
purchase in the top four credit rating categories of Moody's Investor Service,
Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corp. (See the General SAI Disclosure for the 11
funds for a description of the credit rating categories of these two entities,
and a description of U.S. government obligations.) Investment-grade corporate
bonds include high-quality corporate bonds (top three credit-rating categories)
and medium-grade corporate bonds (fourth credit-rating category).
 
Mortgage-backed securities are issued by government agencies and other
non-government agency issuers. Mortgage-backed securities include obligations
backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages and direct interests in an underlying
pool of mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities also include collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). The mortgages involved could be those on commercial
or residential real estate properties.
 
The fund may also hold a small amount of
 
- - corporate bonds rated lower than medium-grade (junk bonds);
 
- - dollar-denominated debt obligations of, or guaranteed by, foreign governments
  or any of their instrumentalities or political subdivisions; and
 
- - high-quality dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign corporations.
 
The fund's investment process centers on an analysis of the behavior of the
overall world economy, with a specific focus on the U.S. economy. This analysis
considers the current and anticipated levels of the gross domestic product,
inflation, unemployment, and other economic statistics, and possible changes in
the U.S. credit cycle and the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board. The
fund's process also closely monitors the U.S. credit cycle by analyzing economic
statistics such as the Leading Economic Indicators and similar statistics for
turning points in the U.S. economy and credit conditions. Based on the results
of the analysis, the fund determines an appropriate level of interest rate risk
and credit risk for the fund. The fund then seeks to hold specific amounts of
those types of debt obligations that provide the greatest yield, yet still allow
the fund to meet the appropriate level of interest rate risk and credit risk
determined for the fund.
 
For example, if the fund's analysis indicates a change in the Federal Reserve
Board's policies and an increase in short term interest rates, the fund would
likely seek to lower the level of interest rate risk by shortening the average
maturity and duration of the portfolio. (Duration is the change in value of a
debt obligation resulting from a 1% change in interest rates.) Under these
conditions, this strategy would be appropriate since intermediate and long-term
interest rates are also likely to go up when the Federal Reserve Board raises
short-term interest rates.
 
Similarly, when the fund's analysis indicates a weakening of the U.S. economy
and deterioration of general business fundamentals, the fund will replace lower-
rated holdings with higher-rated debt obligations to lessen credit risk. If, on
the other hand, the fund's analysis indicates an improving of the U.S. economy
and general business fundamentals, the fund may increase its holdings of
lower-rated debt obligations.
 
The fund selects those individual debt obligations deemed to have the best
yields in their credit rating category. The fund selects debt obligations after
giving consideration to all risk aspects of the debt obligation, including the
possibility of a credit rating upgrade or
 
B-2
<PAGE>
downgrade, the debt obligation's resale value, and any prepayment options.
 
The fund expects its annual portfolio turnover rate to be 100% or less in any
year. (For example, the fund would have a rate of portfolio turnover of 100%, if
the fund replaced all of its investments in one year.) Market conditions could
result in a greater degree of market activity and a portfolio turnover rate as
high as 150%. High turnover could increase fund expenses. The fund's portfolio
turnover rate was 51.33% in 1998 and 56.16% in 1997.
 
OTHER STRATEGIES
 
The fund may invest in money market instruments as a temporary defensive
strategy. The fund, in doing so, would likely not be pursuing its investment
objective. The fund also may hold cash for liquidity purposes while seeking
appropriate investments.
 
The fund also uses other investment strategies, to a lesser degree, to pursue
its investment objective. The fund's SAI describes these other investment
strategies and the risks they involve.
 
RISKS OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
Investing in the fund primarily involves interest rate risk and credit risk.
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the debt obligations held by
the fund -- and therefore, the value of the fund's shares held under your
contract -- will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. As a general matter,
the value of debt obligations will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
These fluctuations can be greater for debt obligations with longer maturities.
When interest rates rise, debt obligations decline in value, and when interest
rates fall, debt obligations increase in value. Accordingly, during periods of
rising interest rates, you could lose money investing in the fund.
 
Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of the debt obligation will be unable to
make interest or principal payments on time. A debt obligation's credit rating
reflects the credit risk associated with that debt obligation. Higher-rated debt
obligations involve lower credit risks than lower-rated debt obligations. The
value of the debt obligations held by the fund -- and, therefore, the value of
the fund's shares -- will fluctuate with the changes in the credit ratings of
the debt obligations held. Generally, a decrease in an issuer's credit rating
will cause that issuer's outstanding debt obligations to fall in value. The
issuer may also have increased interest payments, as issuers with lower credit
ratings generally have to pay higher interest rates to borrow money. As a
result, the issuer's future earnings and profitability could also be negatively
affected. This could further increase the credit risks associated with that debt
obligation.
 
If debt obligations held by the fund are assigned a lower credit rating, the
value of these debt obligations and, therefore, the value of the fund's shares
could fall, and you could lose money. Additionally, because the fund also
invests in medium-grade corporate bonds, the fund involves more risk than that
normally associated with a bond fund that only invests in high-quality corporate
bonds.
 
Further, the amount of current income generated by the fund depends on the types
of debt obligations held and changes in current interest rates. During extended
periods of falling interest rates, the fund will earn reduced income on new
investments, and the fund's income could be lower. Conversely, during extended
periods of rising interest rates, the fund will earn increased income on new
investments, and the fund's income could be higher. As discussed above, however,
the value of the debt obligations held by the fund are also affected by changes
in interest rates. Accordingly, while periods of rising interest rates could
produce increased income, the value of the fund's shares could also fall during
such periods.
 
Because the fund invests in mortgage-backed securities, the value of the fund's
shares may react more severely to changes in interest rates. In periods of
falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities are subject to the
possibility that the underlying mortgages will be paid early (pre-payment risk),
lowering the potential total return and, therefore, the value of the
mortgage-backed securities. During periods of rising interest rates, the rate at
which the underlying mortgages are pre-paid may slow unexpectedly, causing the
maturity of the mortgage-backed securities to increase and their value to
decline (maturity extension risk). In either instance, the value of the
mortgage-backed securities may fluctuate more widely than the value of
investment-grade debt obligations in response to changes in interest rates.
 
Because a small percentage of the debt obligations held by the fund are junk
bonds and debt obligations issued by foreign governments and companies,
investing in the fund also involves additional risks. Junk bonds are often
considered speculative and involve significantly higher credit risk. Junk bonds
are also more likely to experience significant fluctuation in value due to
changes in the issuer's credit rating. The value of junk bonds may fluctuate
more than the value of higher-rated debt obligations, and may decline
significantly in periods of general economic difficulty or periods of rising
interest rates.
 
                                                                             B-3
<PAGE>
Dollar-denominated foreign debt obligations, even high-quality debt obligations,
involve the risk of loss from foreign government or political actions. These
actions could range from changes in tax or trade statutes to governmental
collapse and war. These actions could include a foreign government's imposing a
heavy tax on a company or taking over a company. These actions could cause the
value of the debt obligations held by the fund and the fund's shares to fall.
(See the SAI Appendix for the 11 funds for a more detailed discussion of the
risks and costs involved in investing in securities of foreign issuers.)
 
Additionally, as of January 1, 1999, several European countries began
participating in the European Economic and Monetary Union, which established a
common European currency for participating countries. This currency is commonly
known as the "Euro." Each participating country is currently phasing in use of
the Euro for major financial transactions. In addition, each participating
country will begin using the Euro for currency transactions beginning July 1,
2002. Additional European countries may elect to participate. Funds investing in
securities of participating countries could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by their major service providers are not properly prepared
to handle both the implementation of this single currency and the prospect of
the adoption of the Euro by additional countries in the future.
 
You may consider choosing this fund for investing some portion of your contract
assets (1) if you are seeking the possibility of higher current income than what
may be offered by other lower risk investment vehicles, such as U.S. treasury
notes and money market mutual funds and (2) as long as you are comfortable with
the risks associated with investing in the fund, including those risks
associated with the fund's small investment in junk bonds and debt obligations
of foreign governments and companies.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
OF THE FUND
 
The investment objective of the Capital Appreciation Fund (fund) is long-term
growth of capital (as measured by the change in the value of fund shares over a
period of three years or longer) in a manner consistent with the preservation of
capital. The fund pursues its investment objective primarily by buying and
holding (investing in) equity securities (stocks). The fund primarily invests in
stocks of large-sized U.S. companies: companies with market capitalizations of
more than $5 billion. The fund may also invest in medium-sized U.S. companies
(market capitalizations greater than $1 billion but less than $5 billion) and
small-sized U.S. companies (market capitalizations less than $1 billion).
Additionally, the fund may invest in foreign stocks (stocks of companies
organized, or having a majority of their assets, or earning a majority of their
operating income, in a country outside of the United States.)
 
The fund's investment strategy is to invest in stocks of companies with earnings
growth potential that may not be recognized by the market at large. In selecting
investments, the fund places no emphasis on earning income.
 
The main investment risks of choosing to invest your contract assets in the fund
are as follows:
 
- - the value of the fund's shares will fluctuate, and you could lose money;
 
- - investing in the stocks of small and medium-sized, less mature, lesser-known
  companies involves more risk than that normally associated with investing in
  the stocks of larger, more mature, well-known companies, including greater and
  more rapid fluctuations in the value of these stocks and, therefore, the
  fund's shares; and
 
- - investing in securities of foreign issuers involves greater risks than
  investing in U.S. securities, including risk of loss from foreign currency
  fluctuations, international economic or financial instability, and foreign
  government or political actions.
 
The following information provides some indication of the risks of choosing to
invest your contract assets in the fund. The information shows:
 
- - changes in the fund's performance from year to year and
 
- - how the fund's average annual returns for one year and the fund's lifetime
  compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.
 
Please note that the past performance of the fund is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Further, the returns
shown do not reflect variable contract expenses. If reflected the returns shown
would be lower.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
The investment objective of the fund is long-term term growth of capital (as
measured by increasing the value of fund shares over a period of three years or
longer) in
 
                                                                            CA-1
<PAGE>
a manner consistent with the preservation of capital. The fund pursues its
investment objective primarily by buying and holding (investing in) equity
securities (stocks). Under normal conditions, the fund will invest a minimum of
65% of its total assets in stocks.
 
The fund primarily invests in stocks of large-sized U.S. companies: companies
with market capitalizations of more than $5 billion. (A company's market
capitalization is calculated by multiplying the total number of shares of its
common stock outstanding by the market price of the stock. As a point of
reference, as of December 31, 1998, the average market capitalization of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500 Index), a broad based
market index representative of larger, typically more financially stable
companies, was $87 billion.)
 
The fund may also invest in medium-sized U.S. companies, which have market
capitalizations greater than $1 billion but less than $5 billion, and
small-sized U.S. companies, which have market capitalizations less than $1
billion. Additionally, the fund may invest in foreign stocks, which are stocks
of companies organized, or having a majority of their assets, or earning a
majority of their operating income, in a country outside of the United States.
These stocks may be traded on U.S. or foreign stock markets.
 
The fund uses a "bottom up" approach to selecting stocks. In other words, the
fund uses market research to identify individual companies with earnings growth
potential that may not be recognized by the market at large. As part of this
process, the fund considers the valuation and risk traits of individual stocks,
as well as the characteristics of the underlying companies -- such as the nature
of a company's business and its growth potential. The fund generally selects
stocks without regard to any defined industry sector or other similarly defined
selection procedure. When selecting stocks, the fund places little emphasis on
earning income, and any income earned on the fund's investments is incidental to
the fund's investment objective.
 
The fund expects its annual portfolio turnover rate not to exceed approximately
200% in any year. (For example, the fund would have a rate of portfolio turnover
of 100%, if the fund replaced all of its investments in one year.) Market
conditions could result in a greater degree of market activity and a higher
portfolio turnover rate. High turnover could increase fund expenses. The fund's
portfolio turnover rate was 77.99% in 1998 and 137.07% in 1997.
 
OTHER STRATEGIES
 
The fund may also use other investment strategies, to a lesser degree, to pursue
its investment objective, including investment in futures and forward contracts
on foreign currencies. Additionally, the fund may hold cash or invest in
short-term investments when the fund is unable to locate attractive investment
opportunities. When a fund's investment in cash or similar investments
increases, it may not participate in market advances or declines to the same
extent that it would if the fund remained more fully invested in stocks. The
fund's SAI describes these other investment strategies and the risks they
involve.
 
RISKS OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
Investing in stocks involves the risk that the value of the stocks purchased
will fluctuate. These fluctuations could occur for a single company, an
industry, a sector of the economy, or the stock market as a whole. These
fluctuations could cause the value of the fund's stock investments -- and,
therefore, the value of the fund's shares held under your contract -- to
fluctuate, and you could lose money. Because the fund invests in stocks of a
broad range of companies, the value of the Fund's shares is not expected to
fluctuate in line with the broad stock market indices such as the S&P 500 Index.
 
Moreover, the fund may invest some amounts in small-and medium-sized companies
as well as large-sized companies. The fund's performance may be affected if
stocks in one of these three groups of companies do not perform as well as
stocks in the other groups.
 
Further, investing in stocks of small- and medium-sized, less mature,
lesser-known companies involves greater risks than those normally associated
with larger, more mature, well-known companies. The fund runs a risk of
increased and more rapid fluctuations in the value of its stock investments.
This is due to the greater business risks of small size and limited product
lines, markets, distribution channels, and financial and managerial resources.
Historically, the price of small and medium capitalization stocks and stocks of
recently organized companies have fluctuated more than the larger capitalization
stocks included in the S&P 500 Index. One reason is that small and medium-sized
companies have less certain prospects for growth, a lower degree of liquidity in
the markets for their stocks, and greater sensitivity to changing economic
conditions.
 
Investing in foreign stocks involves additional risks not present when investing
in U.S. securities. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial
instability could cause the value of the fund's investments -- and,
 
CA-2
<PAGE>
therefore, the value of the fund's shares -- to fluctuate, and you could lose
money.
 
Investing in foreign stocks also involves the risk of loss from foreign
government or political actions. These actions could range from changes in tax
or trade statutes to governmental collapse and war. These actions could include
a foreign government's imposing a heavy tax on a company, withholding the
company's payment of interest or dividends, seizing assets of a company, taking
over a company, limiting currency convertibility or barring the fund's
withdrawal of assets from the country. As a general matter, risk of loss is
typically higher for issuers in emerging markets located in less developed or
developing countries.
 
Additionally, investing in foreign stocks involves risks resulting from the
reduced availability of public information concerning issuers and the fact that
foreign issuers generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and
financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices and requirements
comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Further, the volume of
securities transactions effected on foreign markets in most cases remains
considerably below that of the U.S. markets. Accordingly, the fund's foreign
investments may be less liquid, and their prices may be more volatile, than
comparable investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign brokerage
commissions and custodian fees are generally higher than in the U.S. (See the
General SAI Disclosure for the 11 funds for a more detailed discussion of the
risks and costs involved in investing in securities of foreign issuers.)
 
Additionally, as of January 1, 1999, several European countries began
participating in the European Economic and Monetary Union, which established a
common European currency for participating countries. This currency is commonly
known as the "Euro." Each participating country is currently phasing in use of
the Euro for major financial transactions. In addition, each participating
country will begin using the Euro for currency transactions beginning July 1,
2002. Additional European countries may elect to participate. FUNDS investing in
securities of participating countries could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by their major service providers are not properly prepared
to handle both the implementation of this single currency and the prospect of
the adoption of the Euro by additional countries in the future.
 
You may consider choosing this fund for investing some portion of your contract
assets if (1) you are seeking a long-term (over three years) investment
primarily in stocks of a broad range of companies, and (2) you are comfortable
with the risks of investing on stocks, including the additional risks of
investing in foreign stocks and stocks of small- and medium-sized companies.

LINCOLN NATIONAL
EQUITY-INCOME FUND, INC.
 
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
 
The investment objective of the Equity-Income Fund (fund) is to seek reasonable
income by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities. The fund
pursues this objective primarily by investing in a diverse group of stocks that
pay dividends (income-producing stocks). When selecting securities, the fund
also considers the potential for obtaining long-term growth of capital (capital
appreciation). The fund tends to invest in income-producing stocks of
large-sized "value" companies: companies with market capitalizations of more
than $5 billion, that tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or
assets compared to other types of stocks (value stocks). The fund seeks a yield
for its shareholders that exceeds the yield on the securities comprising the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500) .
 
The fund's primary investment strategies include
 
- - investing at least 65% of the fund's total assets in income-producing equity
  securities;
 
- - potentially investing in other types of equity securities and fixed-income
  securities (debt obligations), including lower-quality debt obligations such
  as junk bonds;
 
- - investing in both U.S. and foreign securities; and
 
- - using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry
  position and market and economic conditions to select investments.
 
The main investment risks of choosing to invest your contract assets in the fund
are as follows:
 
- - the value of the fund's shares will fluctuate, and you could lose money;
 
- - value stocks can perform differently than (1) the stock market as a whole and
  (2) other types of stocks, and can continue to be undervalued in the market
  for long periods of time;
 
- - companies that have had a record of paying dividends could reduce or eliminate
  their payment of dividends at any time for many reasons;
- - the value of the debt obligations held by the fund -- and therefore, the value
  of the fund's shares -- will fluctuate with changes in interest rates
  (interest rate risk) and the perceived ability of the issuer to make interest
  or principal payments on time (credit risk);
 
- - because the fund may invest lower-quality debt obligations such as junk bonds,
  the fund involves more interest rate risk and credit risk -- and, therefore,
  more risk of loss; and
 
- - investing in securities of foreign issuers involves greater risks than
  investing in U.S. securities, including risk of loss from foreign currency
  fluctuations, international economic or financial instability, and foreign
  government or political actions.
 
The following information provides some indication of the risks of choosing to
invest your contract assets in the fund. The information shows:
 
- - changes in the fund's performance from year to year and
 
- - how the fund's average annual returns for one year and the fund's lifetime
  compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.
 
Please note that the past performance of the fund is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Further, the returns
shown do not reflect variable contract expenses. If reflected the returns shown
would be lower.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
The investment objective of the fund is to seek reasonable income by investing
primarily in income-producing equity securities. Equity securities include
stocks (common stocks), preferred stock, and debt obligations and warrants
convertible into stocks. When selecting securities, the fund also considers the
potential for obtaining capital appreciation, as measured by the change in the
value of the security over time.
 
The fund pursues its objective primarily by investing in a diverse group of
income-producing securities. The fund tends to invest in income-producing stocks
of large-sized "value" companies. The fund, however, is not required to use any
particular investment style when selecting investments. For these purposes,
large-size companies have market capitalizations of more than $5 billion. (A
company's market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the total number of
shares of its common stock outstanding by the market price of the stock. As a
point of reference, as of the date December 31, 1998, the average market
capitalization of the S&P 500, a broad based market index representative of
larger, typically more financially stable companies, was $87 billion.) Value
stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to
other types of stocks.
 
Further, the fund emphasizes above-average income-producing equity securities
that are expected to provide above market yields. (Yield is a measurement used
to evaluate stocks that compares the stock's dividend to its current price.) The
fund seeks a yield for its shareholders that exceeds the yield on the securities
comprising the S&P 500.
 
The fund's primary investment strategies include
 
- - normally investing at least 65% of the fund's total assets in income-producing
  equity securities;
 
- - potentially investing in other types of equity securities and debt
  obligations, including lower-quality debt obligations (junk bonds); and
 
- - investing in both U.S. and foreign securities.
 
The fund may invest in many different types of debt obligations, including
corporate bonds, government securities, and asset--backed securities, including
mortgage-backed securities. The fund may invest in debt obligations of any
quality, including junk bonds. Junk bonds are debt obligations rated below
investment-grade. (Investment-grade debt obligations are those rated at the time
of purchase in the top four credit rating categories of a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, are judged by the fund to be of
comparable quality. See the General SAI Disclosure for the 11 funds for a
description of the credit rating categories of two of these entities, Moody's
Investor Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corp., and a description of U.S.
government securities.)
 
Further, the fund may invest in securities of U.S. or foreign issuers of any
size. Foreign securities are securities of companies organized, or having a
majority of their assets, or earning a majority of their operating income, in a
country outside of the United States. These securities may be traded on U.S. or
foreign markets.
 
When buying and selling securities, the fund relies on fundamental analysis of
each issuer. (A company's fundamentals refers to items related to the company's
financial condition or its competitiveness.) The fund assesses each issuer's
potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry
position, and economic and market conditions.
 
OTHER STRATEGIES
 
The fund also may use other investment strategies to pursue its investment
objective. The fund also may use various techniques, such as buying and selling
futures contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices, or other factors that affect security values. The fund's SAI
describes these other investment strategies and techniques and the risks they
involve.
 
As a temporary defensive strategy, the fund may invest in securities such as
investment-grade bonds, high-quality preferred stocks, and short-term notes. To
the extent the fund uses a temporary defensive strategy, it would not be using
its primary investment strategies. The fund may use a temporary defensive
strategy in response to market, economic, political or other conditions.
 
RISKS OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
Investing in equity securities involves the risk that the value of the equity
securities purchased will fluctuate. These fluctuations could occur for a single
company, an industry, a sector of the economy, or the stock market as a whole.
These fluctuations could cause the value of the fund's equity investments --
and, therefore, the value of the fund's shares held under your contract -- to
fluctuate, and you could lose money.
 
Further, the fund tends to invest in income-producing value stocks. Companies
that have had a record of paying dividends could reduce or eliminate their
payment of dividends at any time for many reasons, including poor business
prospects or a downward turn in the economy in general. Additionally, value
stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic
developments than the market as a whole and other
 
EI-2
<PAGE>
types of stocks. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings
or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can
continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize
their full value.
 
Moreover, the fund may invest in the securities of companies of all sizes.
Investing in the equity securities of smaller and medium-sized, less mature,
lesser-known companies involves greater risks than those normally associated
with larger, more mature, well-known companies. The fund runs a risk of
increased and more rapid fluctuations in the value of its investments. This is
due to the greater business risks of small size and limited product lines,
markets, distribution channels, and financial and managerial resources.
Historically, the price of small and medium capitalization stocks and stocks of
recently organized companies have fluctuated more than the larger capitalization
stocks included in the S&P 500. One reason is that smaller and medium-sized
companies have less certain prospects for growth, a lower degree of liquidity in
the markets for their stocks, and greater sensitivity to changing economic
conditions.
 
Additionally, the prices of small and medium-sized company stocks may fluctuate
independently of larger company stock prices. Small and medium-sized company
stocks may decline in price as large company stock prices rise, or rise in price
as large company stock prices decline. Many independent factors lead to this
result, such as the current and anticipated global economic environment and
current and anticipated direction of interest rates in the United States, for
example. Slower economic conditions or increasing interest rates may have been
reasons historically for declining values in small and medium capitalization
companies. The stock of companies with small and medium stock market
capitalizations may trade less frequently and in limited volume.
 
Investing in debt obligations primarily involves interest rate risk and credit
risk.
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the debt obligations held by
the fund -- and therefore, the value of the fund's shares -- will fluctuate with
changes in interest rates. As a general matter, the value of debt obligations
will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. These fluctuations can be greater
for debt obligations with longer maturities and for mortgage securities. When
interest rates rise, debt obligations decline in value, and when interest rates
fall, debt securities obligations increase in value. Accordingly, during periods
when interest rates are fluctuating, you could lose money investing in the fund.
 
Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of the debt obligation will be unable to
make interest or principal payments on time. A debt obligation's credit rating
reflects the credit risk associated with that debt obligation. Higher-rated debt
obligations involve lower credit risks than lower-rated debt obligations.
Generally, credit risk is higher for corporate and foreign government debt
obligations than for U.S. government securities, and higher still for debt rated
below investment grade (junk bonds). The value of the debt obligations held by
the fund -- and, therefore, the value of the fund's shares -- will fluctuate
with the changes in the credit ratings of the debt obligations held. Generally,
a decrease in an issuer's credit rating will cause the value of that issuer's
outstanding debt obligations to fall. The issuer may also have increased
interest payments, as issuers with lower credit ratings generally have to pay
higher interest rates to borrow money. As a result, the issuer's future earnings
and profitability could also be negatively affected. This could further increase
the credit risks associated with that debt obligation.
 
If debt obligations held by the fund are assigned a lower credit rating, the
value of these debt obligations and, therefore, the value of the fund's shares
could fall, and you could lose money. Because the fund may also invest in debt
obligations of any quality, including junk bonds, the fund involves more risk of
loss than that normally associated with a fund that only invests in high-quality
corporate bonds. Junk bonds are often considered speculative and involve
significantly higher credit risk. Junk bonds are also more likely to experience
significant fluctuation in value due to changes in the issuer's credit rating.
The value of junk bonds may fluctuate more than the value of higher-rated debt
obligations, and may decline significantly in periods of general economic
difficulty or periods of rising interest rates.
 
Finally, investing in foreign securities involves additional risks. Foreign
currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value
of the fund's investments -- and, therefore, the value of the fund's shares --
to fluctuate, and you could lose money.
 
Investing in foreign securities also involves the risk of loss from foreign
government or political actions. These actions could range from changes in tax
or trade statutes to governmental collapse and war. These actions could include
a foreign government's imposing a heavy tax on a company, withholding the
company's payment of interest or dividends, seizing assets of a company, taking
over a company, limiting currency convertibility, or barring the fund's
withdrawal of assets from the country. As a general matter, risk of loss is
typically higher for issuers in emerging markets located in less developed or
developing countries.
 
Investing in foreign securities also involves risks resulting from the reduced
availability of public information concerning issuers and the fact that foreign
issuers generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial
reporting standards or to other regulatory
 
                                                                            EI-3
<PAGE>
practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
Further, the volume of securities transactions effected on foreign markets in
most cases remains considerably below that of the U.S. markets. Accordingly, the
fund's foreign investments may be less liquid, and their prices may be more
volatile, than comparable investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign
brokerage commissions and custodian fees are generally higher than in the U.S.
(See the General SAI Disclosure, for the 11 funds for a more detailed discussion
of the risks and costs involved in investing in securities of foreign issuers.)
 
Additionally, as of January 1, 1999, several European countries began
participating in the European Economic and Monetary Union, which established a
common European currency for participating countries. This currency is commonly
known as the "Euro." Each participating country is currently phasing in use of
the Euro for major financial transactions. In addition, each participating
country will begin using the Euro for currency transactions beginning July 1,
2002. Additional European countries may elect to participate. Funds investing in
securities of participating countries could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by their major service providers are not properly prepared
to handle both the implementation of this single currency and the prospect of
the adoption of the Euro by additional countries in the future.
 
You may consider choosing the fund for investing some portion of your contract
assets if (1) you are seeking reasonable income and some capital appreciation by
investing in stocks, and (2) you are comfortable with the risks associated with
investing in value stocks and other types of equity securities and debt
obligations, as well as the other risks of investing in the fund.

LINCOLN NATIONAL
MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
 
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
 
The investment objective of the Lincoln National Money Market Fund (fund) is to
maximize current income while (1) maintaining a stable value of your shares
(providing stability of net asset value) and (2) preserving the value of your
initial investment (preservation of capital). The fund pursues this objective by
investing in a diverse group of high quality short-term money market securities.
These securities include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, obligations of U.S. financial institutions and other entities, and
debt obligations issued by U.S. corporations.
 
The fund's investment strategy is to seek money market securities that provide
the most attractive yields. As a general matter, the fund will invest (1) at
most 5% of the fund's assets in the money market securities of any one issuer
and (2) at most 25% of the fund's assets in the money market securities issued
by companies in any one industry.
 
The main investment risks of choosing to invest your contact assets in the fund
are as follows:
 
- - the amount of current income generated by the fund will fluctuate based on
  changes in current interest rates; and
 
- - an investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
  Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks
  to preserve the value of its shares at $10.00 per share, it is possible to
  lose money by investing in the fund.
 
The following information provides some indication of the risks of choosing to
invest your contract assets in the fund. The information shows:
 
- - changes in the fund's performance from year to year and
 
- - the fund's highest and lowest returns for one quarter.
 
Please note that the past performance of the fund is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Further, the returns
shown do not reflect variable contract expenses. If reflected the returns shown
would be lower.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
The investment objective of the fund is to maximize current income while
providing stability of the value of the fund's shares and preservation of
capital. The fund intends to maintain a stable value for its shares of $10.00
per share.
 
The fund pursues its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of high
quality short-term money market securities that mature within one year from date
of purchase. These money market obligations include:
 
- - obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
  instrumentalities (government securities);
 
                                                                            MM-1
<PAGE>
- - obligations (including certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time
  deposits) of any U.S. bank or other U.S. financial institution that is a
  member of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
  (FDIC) or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (FSLIC), including
  obligations of foreign branches of those members, and of any U.S. branch of a
  foreign bank; and
 
- - commercial paper and other debt obligations of U.S. corporations, including
  loan participation certificates.
 
The fund's SAI provides a more detailed description of these and other money
market securities that the fund may purchase.
 
The fund maintains a cumulative average portfolio maturity of no greater than 90
days. The fund follows an investment policy of purchasing money market
securities rated in one of the top two credit rating categories of a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, are judged by the
fund to be of comparable quality. ( See the General SAI Disclosure for the 11
funds for a description of the credit rating categories of two of these
entities, Moody's Investor Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corp.) The fund
will invest at least 95% of its assets in (a) government securities and (b)
money market securities rated in the highest rating category, or judged by the
fund to be of comparable quality.
 
When selecting money market securities, the fund considers the Federal Reserve
Board's current policies and, for comparative purposes, the current yields and
maturities of various other types of short-term debt instruments. The fund then
selects individual securities based on the attractiveness of their yield and
length of maturity. As a general matter, the fund invests:
 
- - at most 5% of the fund's assets in the money market securities of any one
  issuer, and
 
- - at most 25% of the fund's assets in the money market securities issued by
  companies in any one industry.
 
These limits, however, do not apply to money market securities issued by the
U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Banks (excluding foreign
branches of U.S. banks or U.S. branches of foreign banks) are not considered an
industry for purposes of the second limitation.
 
The fund intends to hold its money market securities until maturity, and to
reinvest the proceeds from maturing securities into other money market
securities. The fund may sell a security prior to maturity to provide needed
liquidity or to improve the yield or credit quality of the portfolio.
 
The fund also uses other investment strategies, to a lesser degree, to pursue
its investment objective. The fund's SAI describes these other investment
strategies and the risks they involve.
 
RISKS OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
Investing in the fund involves interest rate risk -- the risk that the amount of
income earned by the fund will vary with fluctuations in short-term interest
rates. Changes in the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy may also affect
the amount of income earned by the fund, because short-term interest rates are
very sensitive to these types of policy changes. In general, you should expect
that (1) as short-term interest rates fall, the level of income generated by the
fund will also fall and (2) similarly, as short term interest rates rise, the
level of income generated by the fund will also rise.
 
The fund is managed with an objective of keeping the value of the fund's shares
stable at $10.00 per share. However, the value of the fund's shares is neither
insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Accordingly, there is no
guarantee that the fund will be able to maintain the value of its shares at
$10.00 per share. The fund's shares, however, are considered to be a relatively
low risk investment, because the fund only purchases high quality short-term
money market securities, and the fund's average portfolio maturity is no greater
than 90 days.
 
You may consider choosing the fund for investing some portion of your contract
assets (1) if you are seeking to earn current income and preserve your initial
investment, and (2) as long as you are comfortable with an investment that is
neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

LINCOLN NATIONAL
SOCIAL AWARENESS FUND, INC.
 
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
OF THE FUND
 
The investment objective of the Social Awareness Fund (fund) is to maximize
long-term capital appreciation (as measured by the change in the value of fund
shares over a period of three years or longer). The fund pursues this objective
primarily by buying and holding (investing in) a diverse group of equity
securities (stocks) of large-sized U.S. companies that meet the fund's social
standards: companies with market capitalizations of more than $5 billion. The
fund also holds some investments in medium-sized U.S. companies, which have
market capitalizations greater than $1 billion but less than $5 billion.
 
The fund's investment strategy is to invest in stocks of established companies
believed to:
 
- - be undervalued in the market relative to other companies in an industry, and
 
- - show growth potential significantly greater than the average expected growth
  rate of companies in the same industry.
 
The fund's secondary investment strategy places some emphasis on providing
income (dividends and interest).
 
All companies must meet the fund's social standards. The companies may not:
 
- - damage the natural environment;
 
- - have significant involvement with nuclear power, military weapons, liquor,
  tobacco or gambling; or
 
- - use animal testing to develop new cosmetic or personal care products.
 
The main investment risks of choosing to invest your contract assets in the fund
are as follows:
 
- - the value of the fund's shares will fluctuate, and you could lose money;
 
- - the value of the fund's stock investments -- and, therefore, the value of the
  fund's shares -- will fluctuate over the long-term (3 years or more) in line
  with broad stock market indices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
  Stock Index (S&P 500); and
 
- - the fund's social standards strategy can cause the value of the fund's shares
  to fluctuate independently of broad stock market indices over short-term
  periods (1-3 years), and cause the fund to miss opportunities to invest in
  companies, industries or segments of the U.S. economy providing superior
  performance.
 
The following information provides some indication of the risks of choosing to
invest your contract assets in the fund. The information shows:
 
- - changes in the fund's performance from year to year and
 
- - how the fund's average annual returns for one, five and ten year periods
  compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.
 
Please note that the past performance of the fund is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Further, the returns
shown do not reflect variable contract expenses. If reflected the returns shown
would be lower.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
The investment objective of the fund is long-term capital appreciation.
 
The fund pursues this objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of
stocks primarily of large-sized U.S. companies (market capitalizations greater
than $5 billion), with some emphasis on medium-sized companies (market
capitalizations between $1 billion and $5 billion). (A company's market
capitalization is calculated by multiplying the total number of shares of its
common stock outstanding by the market price of the stock. As a point of
reference, as of December 31, 1998, the average market capitalization of the S&P
500, a broad based market index representative of larger, typically more
financially stable companies, was $87 billion.)
 
The fund, however, only invests in companies that meet the fund's social
standards described below.
 
The fund's management style focuses on seeking growth companies at a reasonable
price by blending:
 
- - a "growth" oriented management style, which seeks companies with earnings
  and/or revenues that are growing faster than the industry average, and
 
- - a "value" oriented management style, which seeks companies within an industry
  with current stock prices that do not reflect the stocks' perceived true
  worth.
 
More specifically, the fund seeks to invest in companies believed to:
 
- - show growth potential that significantly exceeds the average expected growth
  rate of companies in the same industry; and
 
- - be undervalued in the market relative to the companies' industry peers.
 
The companies sought typically have:
 
- - a long history of profit growth and dividend payment, and
 
- - a reputation for quality management, products and service.
 
The fund's selection of industries and the size of investments in each industry
will be similar to those of the S&P 500, after considering the fund's social
standards. The fund uses the following fundamental criteria for measuring
individual stock selection: price to earnings ratio, growth of historical and
forecasted earnings, and current yield. The fund seeks to own the most
attractive stocks in each industry. The fund compares its current investments to
possible new investments on an on-going basis. The fund replaces a current
investment, if a possible new investment appears significantly more attractive
under the fund's investment criteria.
 
SOCIAL STANDARDS
 
The fund will not knowingly buy or hold stocks of companies that engage in:
 
- - activities that result, or are likely to result, in damage to the natural
  environment;
 
- - production of nuclear power, design or construction of nuclear power plants,
  or manufacture of equipment for the production of nuclear power;
 
- - manufacture of, or contracting for, military weapons;
 
- - liquor, tobacco or gambling businesses; and/or
 
- - the use of animals for testing when developing new cosmetics and personal care
  products.
 
The fund may modify these standards at any time, without prior shareholder
approval or notice.
 
The fund, its advisor and sub-advisor will not determine which stocks meet the
fund's social standards. Instead, the fund will rely on the Social Investment
Research provided by Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini & Co., Inc. (KLD), located in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
 
KLD specializes in providing the financial community with social standards
research on publicly-traded U.S. corporations. KLD determines if and when a
company's activities are significant enough to merit a "concern" or "major
concern" under the fund's social standards. KLD may determine the significance
of a company's activities based on (1) their size or (2) other factors selected
by KLD. KLD continually refines and modifies its social standards screening
process.
 
The fund will not buy any stock where KLD indicates a "concern" or "major
concern" relating to one or more of the fund's social standards. Because of this
strategy, the fund may not invest in certain types of companies, industries and
segments of the U.S. economy.
 
PERIOD OF DISINVESTMENT
 
At times, the fund may hold stocks that do not meet the fund's social standards,
because either (1) the stocks ceased meeting the social standards after the fund
bought them or (2) the fund bought the stocks without realizing that they did
not meet the social standards. The fund will seek to sell these stocks in an
orderly manner to minimize any adverse effect on the value of the fund's
investments. Ordinarily, the fund will sell the stocks within 90 days of
determining that the stocks do not meet the social standards. However, the fund
will sell the stocks within a longer period, if the advisor or sub-advisor
believes that it would avoid a significant loss to the overall value of the
fund's investments.
 
SA-2
<PAGE>
OTHER STRATEGIES
 
The fund may invest in money market instruments and hold a portion of its assets
in cash for liquidity purposes, as a temporary defensive strategy. The fund may
use this temporary defensive strategy when market conditions limit the fund's
ability to use its other investment strategies to identify and obtain suitable
investments. The fund, in doing so, would not be pursuing its investment
objective. The fund also may hold cash or money market instruments while seeking
appropriate investments.
 
The fund also uses other investment strategies, to a lesser degree, to pursue
its investment objective. The fund's SAI describes these other investment
strategies and the risks they involve.
 
RISKS OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
Investing in stocks involves the risk that the value of the stocks purchased
will fluctuate. These fluctuations could occur for a single company, an
industry, a sector of the economy, or the stock market as a whole. These
fluctuations could cause the value of the fund's stock investments -- and,
therefore, the value of the fund's shares held under your contract -- to
fluctuate, and you could lose money.
 
Moreover, the fund invests in medium-sized as well as large-sized companies, and
the fund's performance may be affected if stocks in one of these two groups of
companies do not perform as well as stocks in the other group. Further,
medium-sized companies, which are not as well-established as large-sized
companies, may (1) react more severely to market conditions and (2) suffer more
from economic, political and regulatory developments.
 
The fund's social standards strategy prohibits the fund from investing in
certain types of companies, industries and segments of the U.S. economy.
Consequently, the value of the fund's shares will fluctuate independently of
broad stock market indices over short-term periods (1-3 years). Moreover, the
fund may (1) miss opportunities to invest in companies, industries or segments
of the U.S. economy that are providing superior performance relative to the
market as a whole and (2) become invested in companies, industries and segments
of the U.S. economy that are providing inferior performance relative to the
market as a whole. These consequences may at times adversely affect fund
performance when compared to broad market indices or to similar funds managed
without the social standards strategy.
 
You may consider choosing the fund for investing some portion of your contract
assets (1) if you are seeking the possibility of long-term capital appreciation,
with some emphasis on providing income, and (2) so long as you are comfortable
with the additional risks of the fund's using social standards to select
investments.

GENERAL PROSPECTUS DISCLOSURE -- IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
This General Prospectus Disclosure is part of the Prospectus of:
 
Lincoln National Aggressive Growth Fund, Inc.
(Aggressive Growth)
 
Lincoln National Bond Fund, Inc. (Bond)
 
Lincoln National Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc.
(Capital Appreciation)
 
Lincoln National Equity-Income Fund, Inc.
(Equity-Income)
 
Lincoln National Global Asset Allocation Fund, Inc. (Global Asset Allocation)

Lincoln National Social Awareness Fund, Inc.
(Social Awareness)
 
Lincoln National Special Opportunities Fund, Inc.
(Special Opportunities)
 
The following information applies to each fund, unless otherwise indicated.
 
NET ASSET VALUE
 
Each fund determines its net asset value per share (NAV) as of close of business
(currently 4:00 p.m., New York time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on
each day the NYSE is open for trading. Each fund, except the Money Market Fund,
determines its nav by:
 
- - adding the values of all securities investments and other assets,
 
- - subtracting liabilities (including dividends payable), and
 
- - dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
 
NYSE's most recent announcement states that, as of the date of this prospectus,
the NYSE will be closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, President's
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day,
and Christmas Day. NYSE may also be closed on other days. The NYSE may modify
its holiday schedule at any time.
 
A fund's securities may be traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is
closed. Therefore, the fund's NAV may fluctuate on days when you do not have
access to the fund to purchase or redeem shares.
 
Each fund (other than for the Money Market Fund) values its securities
investments as follows:
 
- - equity securities, at their last sale prices on national securities exchanges
  or over-the-counter, or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of
  readily available closing bid and asked prices on exchanges or
  over-the-counter;
 
- - debt securities, at the price established by an independent pricing service,
  which is believed to reflect the fair value of these securities; and
 
- - equity securities, debt securities and other assets for which market
  quotations are not readily available, fair value as determined in good faith
  under the authority of each fund's Board of Directors.
 
MONEY MARKET FUND. The Money Market Fund determines its NAV by the amortized
cost method of valuation provided by SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Under the Rule, the fund's nav must fairly reflect market value.
 
See the General SAI Disclosure for the methodology that a fund (other than for
the Money Market Fund) uses to value short-term investments, options, futures
and options on futures, and foreign securities.
 
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
 
Each fund's business and affairs are managed under the direction of its Board of
Directors. The Board has the power to amend the bylaws of each fund, to declare
and pay dividends, and to exercise all the powers of the fund except those
granted to the shareholders.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISOR. Lincoln Investment Management, Inc. (Lincoln Investment or
advisor) is the investment advisor to each fund. Its headquarters are at 200
East Berry Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46802.
 
The advisor has registered with the SEC as an investment advisor and acted as an
investment advisor to mutual Funds for over 40 years. The advisor also acts as
(1) investment advisor to Lincoln National Convertible Securities Fund, Inc. and
Lincoln National Income Fund, Inc., closed-end investment companies, and (2)
sub-adviser to two of the series of Delaware Group Adviser Funds, Inc., an
open-end series investment company.
 
The advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corp. (LNC), a
publicly-held insurance holding
 
                                                                           GPD-1
<PAGE>
company organized under Indiana law. LNC, through its subsidiaries, provides
life insurance and annuities, property-casualty insurance, reinsurance and
financial services.
 
Directors, officers and employees of the advisor and each fund may engage in
personal securities transactions, subject to restrictions and procedures of the
Code of Ethics adopted by the advisor and each fund. The restrictions and
procedures include substantially all of the recommendations of the Advisory
Group of the Investment Company Institute and comply with SEC rules and
regulations.
 
The advisor, either directly or through a sub-advisor, provides portfolio
management and investment advice to each fund and administers each fund's other
affairs, subject to the supervision of each fund's Board of Directors.
Some of the funds using sub-advisors have names, investment objectives and
investment policies that are very similar to certain publicly available mutual
funds that are managed by these same sub-advisors. These funds will not have the
same performance as those publicly available mutual funds. Different performance
will result from many factors, including, but not limited to, different cash
flows into and out of the funds, different fees, and different sizes.
 
Each fund pays the advisor a monthly fee for the advisor's services. The annual
rate of the fee is based on the average daily net asset value of each fund, as
shown in the following chart:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES
 
Each fund sells its shares of common stock only to Lincoln Life. Lincoln Life
holds the fund shares in separate accounts (variable accounts) that support
various Lincoln Life variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance
contracts.
 
Each fund sells and redeems its shares, without charge, at their nav next
determined after Lincoln Life receives a purchase or redemption request.
However, each fund redeems its shares held by Lincoln Life for its own account
at the nav next determined after the fund receives the redemption request. The
value of shares redeemed may be more or less than original cost, depending on
the market value of a fund's securities investments at the time of redemption.
 
The fund normally pays for shares redeemed within seven days after Lincoln Life
receives the redemption request. However, a fund may suspend redemption or
postpone payment for any period when:
 
- - the NYSE closes for other than weekends and holidays;
 
GPD-2
<PAGE>
- - the SEC restricts trading on the NYSE;
 
- - the SEC determines that an emergency exists, so that a fund's (1) disposal of
  investment securities, or (2) determination of net asset value, is not
  reasonably practicable; or
 
- - The SEC permits, by order, for the protection of fund shareholders.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS AND FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
Each fund's policy is to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains each year. A fund may distribute net
realized capital gains only once a year. Each fund pays these distributions to
Lincoln Life for the variable accounts. The variable accounts automatically
reinvest the distributions in additional fund shares at no charge.
 
Each fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The
Code relieves a regulated investment company from certain Federal income tax and
excise tax, if the company distributes substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains. See the SAI for a more complete
discussion.
 
Each fund must meet asset diversification requirements under Section 817(h) of
the Code and the related regulation of the United States Treasury Department.
Each fund intends to comply with these diversification requirements.
 
The sole shareholder of the funds is Lincoln Life. Consequently, this Appendix
does not discuss the federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level.
For information concerning the federal income tax consequences to owners of
variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance contracts (contract
owners), including the failure of a fund to meet the diversification
requirements discussed above, see the Prospectus for the variable account.
 
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
 
Each fund's Annual Report includes the portfolio manager's discussion of the
fund's performance for the previous fiscal year and the factors affecting the
performance. Each fund will send you a free copy of its Annual Report on
request.
 
                                                                           GPD-3
<PAGE>
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial
performance of the funds for the past 5 years, or, if shorter, the period of the
fund's operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single
fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor
would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund (assuming reinvestment of
all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Ernst &
Young LLP, independent auditors, whose report, along with each fund's financial
statements, are included in the annual report, which is available upon request.

(1)  The per share data, total return, ratios and portfolio turnover are
     calculated for the period from commencement of investment activity on
     January 3, 1994 through December 31, 1994. Accordingly, the total return,
     ratios, and portfolio turnover have NOT been calculated on an annualized
     basis.
 
(2)  Per share information for the Capital Appreciation, Equity-Income, Global
     Asset Allocation, and International funds for the year ended December 31,
     1998 was based on the average shares outstanding method.
 
(3)  Total return percentages in this table are calculated on the basis
     prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These percentages are
     based on the underlying mutual fund shares.
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
You should direct any inquiry to Lincoln National Life Insurance Co., at P.O.
Box 2340, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46801, or, call 1-800-4LINCOLN (454-6265).
 
Each fund will issue:
 
- - unaudited semiannual reports showing current investments and other
  information; and
 
- - annual financial statements audited by the fund's independent auditors.
 
These Prospectuses do not contain all the information included in the
Registration Statements that the funds have filed with the SEC. You may examine
the Registration Statements, including exhibits, at the SEC in Washington, D.C.
Statements made in the Prospectuses about any variable annuity contract,
variable life insurance contract, or other document referred to in a contract,
are not necessarily complete. In each instance, we refer you to the copy of that
CONTRACT or other document filed as an exhibit to the related Registration
Statement. We qualify each statement in all respects by that reference.
 
The use of a fund by both annuity and life insurance variable accounts is called
mixed funding. Due to differences in redemption rates, tax treatment, or other
considerations, the interests of contract owners under the variable life
accounts may conflict with those of contract owners under the variable annuity
accounts. Violation of the federal tax laws by one variable account investing in
a fund could cause the contracts funded through another variable account to lose
their tax-deferred status, unless remedial action were taken. The Board of
Directors of each fund will monitor for any material conflicts and determine
what action, if any, the fund or a variable account should take.
 
A conflict could arise that requires a variable account to redeem a substantial
amount of assets from any of the funds. The redemption could disrupt orderly
portfolio management to the detriment of those contract owners still investing
in that fund. Also, that fund could determine that it has become so large that
its size materially impairs investment performance. The fund would then examine
its options.
 
Lincoln Life performs the dividend and transfer functions for each fund.
 
PREPARING FOR YEAR 2000
 
Many existing computer programs use only two digits in the date field to
identify the year. If left uncorrected these programs, which were designed and
developed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century,
could fail to operate or could produce
 
GPD-6
<PAGE>
erroneous results when processing dates after December 31, 1999. For example,
for a bond with a stated maturity date of July 1, 2000, a computer program could
read and store the maturity date as July 1, 1900. This problem is known by many
names, such as the "Year 2000 Problem", "Y2K", and the "Millenium Bug".
 
The Year 2000 Problem affects virtually all computer programs worldwide. It can
cause a computer system to suddenly stop operating. It can also result in a
computer corrupting vital company records, and the problem could go undetected
for a long time. The updating of fund-related computer systems is the
responsibility of Lincoln Life as part of its own year 2000 updating process.
Delaware Service Company Inc. (Delaware), which provides substantially all of
the accounting and valuation services for the funds, is responsible for updating
all its computer systems (including those which serve the funds) to accommodate
the year 2000. If Y2K problems with computer programs affecting the funds are
left unchecked they can cause such problems as share transfer errors; accounting
errors; improper instructions to the securities custodian of a fund; and
erroneous net asset values. In a worst-case scenario, this could result in a
material disruption of the operations of the funds, Lincoln Life and/or
Delaware.
 
However, these companies are wholly owned by Lincoln National Corporation (LNC),
which has had Year 2000 processes in place since 1996. LNC projects aggregate
expenditures in excess of $92 million for its Y2K efforts through the year 2000.
Both Lincoln Life and Delaware have dedicated Year 2000 teams and steering
committees that are answerable to their counterparts in LNC.
 
In light of the potential problems discussed above, Lincoln Life, as part of its
Year 2000 updating process, has assumed responsibility for correcting all
high-priority Information Technology (IT) systems which service the funds.
Delaware for its part is responsible for updating all its high-priority IT
systems to support these vital services. The Year 2000 effort, for both IT and
non-IT systems, is organized into four phases:
 
- - awareness-raising and inventory of all assets (including third-party agent and
  vendor relationships)
 
- - assessment and high-level planning and strategy
 
- - remediation of affected systems and equipment; and
 
- - testing to verify Year 2000 readiness.
 
Both companies are currently on schedule to have their high-priority IT systems
(including those which support the funds) remediated and tested to demonstrate
readiness by June 30, 1999. During the third and fourth quarters of 1999,
additional testing of the environment will continue. Both companies are
currently on schedule to have their high-priority non-IT systems (elevators,
heating and ventilation, security systems, etc.) remediated and tested by
October 31, 1999.
 
The work on Year 2000 issues has not suffered significant delays; however, some
uncertainty remains. Specific factors that give rise to this uncertainty include
(but are certainly not limited to) a possible loss of technical resources to
perform the work; failure to identify all susceptible systems; and
non-compliance by third parties whose systems and operations impact Lincoln
Life. In a report dated February 26, 1999, entitled, INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF
THE YEAR 2000 TECHNOLOGY PROBLEM, S. Prt 106-10, the U.S. Senate Special
Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem expressed its concern that
"Financial services firms...are particularly vulnerable to...the risk that a
material customer or business partner will fail, as a result of the computer
problems, to meet its obligations".
 
One important source of uncertainty is the extent to which the key trading
partners of Lincoln Life and of Delaware will be successful in their own
remediation and testing efforts. Lincoln Life and Delaware have been monitoring
the progress of their trading partners; however, the efforts of these partners
are beyond our control.
 
Lincoln Life and Delaware expect to have completed their necessary remediation
and testing efforts prior to December 31, 1999. However, given the nature and
complexity of the problem, there can be no guarantee by either company that
there will not be significant computer problems after December 31, 1999.

SAI, dated May 1, 1999, into its Prospectus. Each fund will provide a free copy
of its SAI on request.
 
You can find still further information about each fund's investments in the
fund's annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. The Annual Report
discusses the market conditions and investment strategies that significantly
affected that fund's performance (except the Money Market Fund) during its last
fiscal year. Each fund will provide a free copy of its Annual and Semi-Annual
Report on request.
