Financial Statements as of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 and Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Lincoln National Life Insurance Company and

Contract Owners of Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account LMB-K

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise the Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account LMB-K (the Account) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements") and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts constituting Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account LMB-K at December 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and each of their financial highlights for the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Account's auditor since 2020.

LINCOLN LIFE VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT LMB-K
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND VARIABLE ACCOUNT INFORMATION
The Variable Account:
Effective October 1, 2021, Lincoln Life Assurance Company of Boston, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"), merged with and into Lincoln Life (the "Company"). Also effective October 1, 2021, Variable Account K of Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston is now known as Lincoln Life Variable Annuity Account LMB-K (the "Variable Account"). The Variable Account is a separate investment account of the Company and was established as a funding vehicle for the deferred and immediate variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Unit Investment Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is an investment company. Accordingly, the Variable Account follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Variable Account invests in eligible mutual funds and is a funding vehicle for group and individual variable annuity contracts. The Variable Account offers one product, as follows:
- New York Preferred Advisor
Effective in 1997, the Variable Account discontinued writing new policies.
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for unit investment trusts.
Accounting Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts as of the date of the financial statements. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts that require use of estimates is the fair value of certain assets.
Investments:
The assets of the Variable Account are divided into variable subaccounts, each of which may be invested in shares of one of seven mutual funds (the Funds) of two open-ended management investment companies, each Fund with its own investment objective. The Funds are:
Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust:
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Small Company Growth Fund - Class 1
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Strategic Income Fund - Class 1
Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II:
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Dividend Opportunity Fund - Class 1
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Government Money Market Fund - Class 1
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Large Cap Growth Fund - Class 1
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Overseas Core Fund - Class 1
Columbia Variable Portfolio - U.S. Government Mortgage Fund - Class 1
Investments in mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value ("NAV") as determined by the respective mutual fund. Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are computed on the basis of the identified cost of the investment sold.
Investments in the Funds are stated at fair value as determined by the closing NAV per share on December 31, 2023. NAV is quoted by the Funds as derived by the fair value of the Funds' underlying investments. The difference between cost and NAV is reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. There are no redemption restrictions on investments in the Funds.
Investments for which the fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient (investments in investees measured at NAV) are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Accordingly, the Variable Account's investments in the Funds have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Dividends:
Dividends paid to the Variable Account are automatically reinvested in shares of the Funds on the payable date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes:
The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Company and are not taxed separately. The Company qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and realized gain distributions earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not taxable, and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. In the event of a change in applicable tax law, the Company will review this policy and if necessary a provision may be made in future years.

LINCOLN LIFE VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT LMB-K
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
Annuity Reserves:
Annuity reserves are computed for contracts under which periodic benefit payments are being made according to the 2000 Individual Annuity Mortality Table for issues prior to 1/1/2015 and the 2012 Individual Annuity Reserve Table for issues thereafter. The assumed investment rate is either 3.0% or 5.0%. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Variable Account by the Company.
Transfers:
Contract holders may make transfers between sub-accounts. Transfers will be executed based on the unit value of each sub-account on the day the transfer is initiated. The Company may charge a transfer fee of up to $25. If a contract holder's financial transaction is not executed on the appropriate investment date, a correcting transaction is required by the Company in order to make the contract owner whole. The resulting risk of a gain or loss from this correcting transaction has no effect on the contract holder's account and is fully assumed by the Company.
Diversification Requirements:
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable annuity contract, other than a pension plan contract, is not treated as an annuity contract for federal tax purposes for any period in which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury. The Company believes that the Variable Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Variable Account will continue to meet such requirements.
2. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE GUARANTEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Daily deductions are made from each contract owner's account value for assumption of mortality and expense risk at an effective annual rate of 1.25% of contract value.

A daily deduction is also made from each contract owner's account value, that has not reached the maximum cumulative annual sales charge limit, to compensate the Company for certain sales distribution expenses relating to a contract at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net asset value. There are no deductions made from purchase payments for sales charges at the time of purchase. In the event of a contract termination, a contingent deferred sales charge, based on a graded table of charges, is deducted.

An annual contract maintenance charge of $36 from the contract value to cover the cost of contract administration, is deducted from each contract holder's account on the contract anniversary date, and these fees are reported in the statements of changes.

(a) For the period from January 1, 2020 through April 24, 2020 (date of merger).
(1) These amounts represent the annualized minimum and maximum contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for only those subaccounts which contain investments as of the respective year end. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying funds have been excluded.
(2) As the unit value is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values for only those subaccounts which existed for the entire year, some individual contract unit values may not be within the ranges presented as a result of partial year activity.
(3) These amounts represent the total return, including changes in value of mutual funds, and reflect deductions for all items included in the fee rate. The total return does not include contract charges deducted directly from contract account values. The total return is not annualized. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values for only those subaccounts which existed for the entire year, some individual contract total returns may not be within the ranges presented as a result of partial year activity.
(4) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense guarantee charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest. Investment income ratios are not annualized.
Note: Amounts may not appear to foot/crossfoot/calculate due to rounding.
Note: Fee rate, unit value and total return minimum and maximum are the same where there is only one active contract level charge for the subaccount.
