Fund B Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited

October 4, 1995



NOTE 1-ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund: The Lincoln National Variable Annuity Fund B is a segregated
investment account of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. The Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end,
diversified management investment company.

Basis for Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

Investments:  Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities
are purchased or sold. Stocks are valued at the closing sales prices for those
traded on a national stock exchange and the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices for those traded over-the-counter. Short-term investments are
stated at cost which approximates market. The cost of investments sold is
determined using the specific identification method.

Federal Income Taxes:  Operations of the Fund will form a part of, and be
taxed with, operations of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, which is 
taxed as a "life insurance company" under the Internal Revenue Code. Under 
current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the investment 
income and gains on investments of the Fund. Accordingly, no provision for any 
such liability has been made.

Income:  Dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date and interest
is accrued as earned.

Annuity Reserves:  Reserves on contracts not involving life contingencies are
calculated using assumed investment rates of 3.5%, 4.5%, 5%, or 6%. Reserves on 
contracts involving life contingencies are calculated using the Progressive 
Annuity Table with the age adjusted for persons born before 1900 or after 1919 
and assumed investment rates of 3.5%, 4.5%, 5%, or 6%.


NOTE 2-INVESTMENTS

The aggregate cost of investments purchased and the aggregate proceeds from 
investments sold (exclusive of short-term investments) during the period ended 
October 4, 1995 amounted to $2,650,687 and $3,106,360 respectively. At October 
4, 1995, the excess of other assets over total liabilities includes no amounts 
receivable from brokers for securities sold.


NOTE 3-EXPENSES AND SALES CHARGES

Amounts are paid to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company for investment 
management services at the rate of .000885% of the current value of the Fund per
day (.323% on an annual basis) and for mortality and expense guarantees at the 
rate of .002745% of the current value of the Fund per day (1.002% on an annual 
basis).

No amounts were retained from the proceeds of the sale of annuity contracts by 
The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, an affiliated underwriter, for 
sales and administrative charges.
