JAMES M. HENNESSY
Dear Shareholder,
In its recent meetings, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") has stopped a two-year trend of raising interest rates. That string of 17 consecutive rate hikes was interpreted by many analysts as a sign that the Fed was concerned about containing inflation.
The Fed's latest actions put us in a climate that economist refer to as a "plateau." Historically, there have been six similar plateaus since 1982 and during four of those periods the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price ("S&P 500®") Index experienced significant growth in the three months following the decrease of Fed interest rates.1
Although past market performance cannot guarantee future market success, I believe the arrival of a "plateau" offers one more reason to be optimistic about the future. So far in 2006, we have seen robust corporate earnings, significant levels of dividend payouts on the part of companies and impressive merger and acquisition announcements.
Whatever the future holds and whatever the economic climate, we at ING Funds continue to work hard to provide you, the investor, with an array of investment choices that enable you to build a smart and diversified portfolio. We also continue to expand and improve our customer service department to ensure that your needs are met promptly and that we indeed continue to make attaining your future goals easier.
On behalf of everyone here at ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
It did not take long for U.S. fixed income investors to start scratching their heads. At the start of our new fiscal year, the feet of the new Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") Chairman Dr. Ben Bernanke had seemed already to be firmly under the desk, as in March, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") had raised rates for the fifteenth time since June 2004. However, the minutes from the March meeting said that the end of the tightening cycle was near, and by the end of April, Dr. Bernanke himself seemed to hint at a pause after May. The statement issued with the sixteenth rate increase on May 10 also suggested somewhat ambivalently, that this was possible. Meanwhile the price of oil and other commodities (and stock markets) had been making new records. The combination of inflationary press ures and a Fed about to go on hold lifted the yield on the ten-year Treasury note/bond through 5% for the first time in nearly four years, to 5.19% on May 12. Importantly, the spread over the three-month Treasury Bill yield was now at its high for the year, as many began to wonder if Dr. Bernanke was just a little bit soft on inflation. Dr. Bernanke's reputation was taking a knock. The respected academic who espoused plain-speaking openness to make policy clear had succeeded in achieving the opposite. He needed to re-establish his inflation fighting credentials by going on the offensive.
About a week later, after another high core Consumer Price Index figure, a Federal Reserve official cast doubt on an FOMC pause. Over the next few weeks he would be joined by every one of his colleagues, each of whom pointedly stressed that inflation was the prime concern. By June 13, the ten-year Treasury yield was back below 5% and the curve inverted over much of its range. Investors feared that with all this tough talk the FOMC would now have to keep raising rates, even as the economy was obviously cooling, evidenced by a shockingly weak employment report on June 2 and a slumping housing market that had driven so much of the consumer spending in recent years. So the seventeenth interest rate increase to 5.25% on June 29 surprised no one, and the month ended with every yield on the Treasury curve lower than the federal funds rate: the market's vote that the FOMC had already gone too far.
The announcement accompanying the increase however, had been couched in relatively mild language. Could the FOMC now, at last, be done?
Not everyone believed it and the doubts intensified when renewed conflict in the Middle East sent the price of a barrel of oil to another all-time peak on July 14. The next FOMC meeting was August 8 and with only a week to go, futures contracts were still signaling a rate increase in the balance. But the flow of data, especially on housing, had pointed almost without exception to cooling demand and gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the second quarter was in fact reported to have slipped to 2.5%. Finally, a tame employment report on August 4 showed the unemployment rate up and wage growth benign. Most commentators felt that this had now eliminated the chance of another rate increase, even as British Petroleum's closure of the Prudhoe Bay oilfield on August 7 caused the oil price to take another run at a record, failing by just 5 cents per barrel. At the August 8 meeting, the FOMC did indeed leave rates unchanged, citing the 17 prior in creases and "other factors restraining aggregate demand". Those factors became increasingly evident and it was soon the consensus view that the FOMC got it right. Housing data continued to deteriorate, with the first drop in home prices in 11 years, falling sales and record inventories of unsold homes. The FOMC even referred at its September 19 meeting, to the role a vibrant housing market had played in spurring GDP growth, and again took no action. The perception of a weakening economy sent (especially longer) rates onto a downward trajectory and as September drew to a close, the three-month Treasury Bill yield exceeded that of the ten-year Treasury Note by the most since January 2001. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the ten-year yield fell by 22 basis points ("bps") to 4.63% while the three-month rose by 25 bps to 4.76%. The broader Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (1) returned 3.73%, the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index (2) 4.40%.
After the best first calendar quarter since 1998 for global equities, reality had set in by mid-May as investors were gripped by fears described above that inflation fighting central bankers would raise interest rates by more than enough to choke off global growth. But from a low point a month later, stock markets found reasons to form a base and recover. In the U.S., it was high and rising corporate profits. The same could be said for Continental Europe, despite a hawkish European Central Bank, p lus improving economic fundamentals. Markets were also supported by broadly based merger and acquisition initiatives. This helped UK stocks as did a recovery in housing prices. All markets cheered the FOMC's pause, while after the failed attempt at a new record on August 7,

oil prices slid more than 18% by September 30 as seasonal and political pressures eased. Only Japan, burdened by the first increase in interest rates in six years, could not eke out a gain. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") World® Index (3) in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, returned 1.8%).

ING GNMA INCOME FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING GNMA Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks a high level of current income, consistent with liquidity and safety of principal, through investment primarily in Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") mortgage-backed securities (also known as GNMA Certificates) that are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the U.S. government. The Fund is managed by Denis P. Jamison, CFA, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Securities issued by individual agencies and organizations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as to principal or interest but are not direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Securities of some agencies and organizations are backed solely by the entity's own resources or by the ability of the entity to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. Government securities also include certain mortgage-related securities that are sponsored by a U.S. government agency or organization and are not direct obligations of the U.S. government.
Performance: For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund's Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.09% compared to the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, which returned 3.64% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The bond market went on a rollercoaster ride during the six-month period ended September 30. Worries about higher inflation and the extent to which the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") would tighten monetary supply colored prices during the period. Bond yields rose steadily until mid-June, at which point they moved back to levels seen in the spring as investors perceived an imminent change in Fed monetary policy.
The Fund performed well during this period, although it was unable to keep up with its broad mortgage benchmark because the return on GNMA securities lagged those of Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") mortgages. It's worth noting that this same disparity occurred in 2005, but the gap in the relative returns among the mortgage groups closed in the final quarter. Hopefully, this scenario will play out again this year. Despite underperforming its benchmark, the Fund maintained a strong competitive position relative to its peer group.
There was an exceptionally strong bid for call protected multi-family GNMA mortgages during much of the second and third quarters. Dealers were anxious to buy these securities in order to place them into collaterized mortgage obligations. We steadily sold during this period, realizing a gain of about $1.2 million for these securities. In addition, our U.S. Treasury bond trading activity was quite profitable, generating $1 million in capital gains. Our multi-family loan portfolio is now down to about $30 million, versus more than $100 million as of March 31, 2006.
GNMA mortgages were hammered in the second quarter, posting a return of -0.4% compared with slight gains for FNMA and FHLMC securities. GNMAs didn't make up any of this lost ground during the summer. The Fund must hold 80% of its assets in GNMA securities while the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index has only a 10% exposure to the sector.
Institutional investors, especially foreign based ones new to the U.S. mortgage market, increasingly are viewing the full, faith and credit guaranteed GNMA mortgages as interchangeable with the agency guaranteed FHLMC and FNMA securities. This has been clearly reflected in a narrowing of the price spread between these securities. For example, on January 20, 2006 GNMA 5.5% mortgages were 15/8% richer than their FNMA cousins. By the end of the third quarter, this spread had narrowed to 26/32%. Unfortunately, for GNMA investors, the spread could get even narrower. The securities have traded as tight as a quarter of a point apart during the last four years.
Current Strategy and Outlook: While rollercoaster rides are very exciting, especially when you're falling, you ultimately end the ride where you began. This sums up our feelings about the current bond market. Over the next few quarters, we believe will likely see plenty of small rallies and reversals but little market direction. We expect investors will get frustrated by the lack of change in Fed monetary policy and become bullish on one-off signs of economic weakness. Directionless markets usually offer lots of opportunities to take short-term trading profits. We intend to maintain a 10%-plus liquidity position in order to have readily available funds to purchase longer-dated U.S. Treasury bonds as oversold conditions develop. With the yield curve inverted, this strategy entails little cost in terms of current income and believe there are profits to be mad e. We also feel that newly minted project loans offer little value compared with single family mortgages. Accordingly, we are not going to rebuild our position as we expect sales of multi-family loans will not be positive going forward.

ING HIGH YIELD BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income and total return. The Fund is managed by Greg Jacobs, CFA and Kurt Kringelis, CFA, CPA, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund's Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.19% compared to the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index — 2% Issuer Constrained, which returned 4.33% and 3.69%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Over the last six months, activity in the U.S. Treasury market has highlighted the uncertainty in the direction of the U.S. economy. In April, the bond market was attuned to contrasting signs of economic vigor and comments by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") perceived as dovish. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's statement that "at some point in the future the Committee may decide to take no action at one or more meetings in the interest of allowing more time to receive information relevant to the outlook" was widely interpreted as a likely pause in interest rates in June. First quarter GDP indicated that the economy grew at a 4.8% real annualized pace — although this strong number must be coupled with the very weak 1.7% 4th quarter result in 2005 for a clearer picture. Data from the domestic manufacturing sector continues to surpris e on the upside, and consumer confidence was unfazed by spiraling energy costs. This combined with increasing inflation metrics, caused concern in the bond market, driving rates up 30-40 basis points across the curve.
By June, the market focus shifted to concerns of a weakening economy. Less than inspiring reports on payrolls, consumer spending, Institute of Supply Management surveys of business activity, and construction outlays pointed to some softness. Despite these anemic reports, wage gains are clearly evident and inflation remains above tolerances. The Federal Open Market Committee (the "FOMC") did, however, raise the overnight rate to 5.25% at their June 29th meeting, but the FOMC introduced some "dovish" language that might be interpreted as more cautious on the economic picture. Weakening economic indicators, combined with the Fed statements, set the table for a Treasury rally in third quarter. During the quarter, the Treasury market erased the second quarter losses, with the 10 year Treasury rallying 50 basis points.
Like the U.S. Treasury market, the high-yield market found a catalyst in the Fed's decision to hold rates where they were and was able to provide investors with positive total returns, as the market took the dovish signals from the Fed as a cue to regain an appetite for risk. For the last six months, the Lehman High Yield 2% Issuer-Constrained Index had a total return of 3.69%. Treasury-relative returns remained positive at 0.22%. Year-to-date, the high-yield market generated a very respectable total return of 6.39% with an excess return of 3.76%. During the period, lower quality issuance outperformed higher quality, as distressed securities outperformed the benchmark by 1.57% and CCC-rated securities on average outperformed the benchmark by 2.45%. During the six months, B-rated and BB-rated issues on average underperformed by 0.20% and 0.75%, respectively.
The Fund continues to be overweight the middle tier B-rated part of the universe and underweight BBs and distressed. This weighting had a neutral impact on the Fund during the period as the benefit of being underweight high-quality issuance was offset by the impact of being underweight the lowest quality part of the universe. The Fund continued to benefit from a strategic overweight in cable, as the sector outperformed the benchmark by 6.40% for the period. The sector showed signs of fundamental improvement during the period. In addition, the Fund shifted from an underweight to an overweight position in automotives. For the period, the industry outperformed the benchmark by 7.23%. The negative impact of being underweight during the first part of the six month period was offset by the benefit of being overweight during the latter half.
Current Outlook and Strategy: The Fed's decision to stop raising rates in August and September fostered a new market consensus for the timing of future rate hikes, with many observers forecasting this pause could last for sometime due to the softness in the residential real estate market and related industries. Indeed, some observers contend that the Fed's next move will be to ease rates sometime in the first quarter of 2007. At present, we disagree with that view. We believe the swift downturn in most residential housing measures clearly has the FOMC concerned, and may well be the primary reason for the Fed's continuing pause. Energy and base metal prices have come off their highs, although this may have more to do with the end of the summer driving season and a decrease in commodity speculation than a barometer of economic activity.
Just like Pluto's reclassification from a planet to asteroid due to its stature, inflation is being perceived as insufficient in size to be of a major concern. Yet, inflation may re-emerge as an issue for policy makers in the future. However, the Fed seems willing to wait for irrefutable evidence, and is more concerned about a slowdown in growth than a rise in core CPI. Nevertheless, the economic climate presents a dilemma to the FOMC, whose next move will be highly dependent on incoming data and its ongoing assessment of the real estate slowdown.
Despite some concerns of a large expected new issue calendar, we believe that accounts have ample cash to put to work for the rest of the year. Fundamentally, we believe the outlook remains relatively favorable for the high yield market as we approach what is likely the mid-point of this credit cycle. As a result, we believe that the market is likely to remain stable through the fourth quarter, despite entering a historically volatile season. We continue to believe that the biggest threat to spreads would come from unwelcome increases in future inflationary data which could present the FED with difficult choices in the event of a continued slowing of the economy with rising inflationary pressures.

ING INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Intermediate Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income, consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund is managed by James B. Kauffmann, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund's Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.12% compared to 3.73% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond ("LBAB") Index.
Portfolio Specifics: The LBAB Index posted a total return of 3.73% during the six-month period which was characterized by a marked shift in market sentiment. In the second quarter, the bond market was acutely attuned to contrasting signs of economic vigor and a perceived dovish posture by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board ("Fed"). By the third quarter, the great guessing game focused on the decline in the U.S. residential real estate market and the perceived end of the Fed's tightening cycle. After 17 consecutive rate hikes, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") decided not to raise the federal funds rate at its August and September meetings, keeping it at 5.25%. Markets quickly forecast the Fed cutting rates as soon as December, despite core inflation remaining above the Fed's comfort zone. During the period, the collapse of Amaranth, an energy trading h edge fund, was also a notable event. Energy prices moved lower during the period, pleasing consumers but not investors with energy exposure. A record level of corporate debt was issued. The yield curve inverted leaving short-term interest rates higher than long-term. The yield on the two-year Treasury declined 0.13% to close at 4.68%; the yield on the five-year Treasury declined 0.23% to close at 4.58%; and the yield on the ten-year Treasury declined 0.22% to close at 4.63%.
Two major themes dominated the Fund's performance during the period. Tactical overweight positions in securitized assets such as mortgage-backed securities — especially adjustable rate mortgages and commercial mortgage-backed securities — helped the Fund, while the Fund's short duration acted as a drag. Duration positioning was the main reason for the Fund's underperformance especially in the latter part of the period.
The portfolio was underweight longer-dated corporate bonds in the face of miniscule yield spreads, or risk compensation; however, tactical allocations to longer maturity credits helped performance. We fared relatively well during the late May and early June market hiccup. A brief sell-off in riskier assets worldwide soon abated, yet the Fund's position in some foreign banks and trusts was not beneficial. During July, by contrast, a small exposure to a large re-insurer had a slight negative impact on the portfolio as Hurricane Ernesto, the only major notable storm in a benign hurricane season compared to 2005, developed and then faded. A minor position in a pipeline company whose previously announced leveraged buyout was re-priced also acted as a slight drag. A long-dated utility and several minerals extractors in South America performed well on a relative basis.
The Fund had a small high yield position, but the high yield bond market outperformed the broader market, indicating that a more sizable commitment was warranted. The same can be said for emerging market debt which performed well during the period.
Current Outlook and Strategy: The Fed's decision to stop raising rates in August and September fostered a new market consensus for the timing of future rate hikes, with many observers forecasting this pause could last for some time due to the softness in the residential real estate market and related industries. Indeed, some observers contend that the Fed's next move will be to ease rates sometime in the first quarter of 2007. At present, we disagree with that view. The swift downturn in most residential housing measures clearly has the FOMC concerned and may well be the primary reason for the Fed's continuing pause. Energy and base metal prices have come off their highs, although this may have more to do with the end of the summer driving season and a decrease in commodity speculation than a barometer of economic activity.
Just like Pluto's reclassification from a planet to an asteroid due to its stature, inflation is being perceived as insufficient in size to be of a major concern. Yet inflation may re-emerge as an issue for policy makers in the future. The Fed seems willing to wait for irrefutable evidence, and is more concerned about a slowdown in growth than a rise in the core consumer price index (CPI). Nevertheless, the economic climate presents a dilemma to the FOMC, whose next move will be highly dependent on incoming data and its ongoing assessment of the real estate slowdown. We believe that the yield curve will become steeper, and anticipate that long-term rates will rise more than short-term rates. While this stance may be a bit early, the position is not hindered by elapsed time or forgone yield. The portfolio is shorter in duration than the index.
We believe that corporate bond investors are not being adequately compensated for risk in the present market. Mergers and acquisition announcements as well as news of firms taking themselves private continue unabated. Such actions by companies are rarely good news for corporate bondholders. Yet credit spreads remain generally tight in the face of some $200 billion of new leveraged buyouts. The credit portfolio remains defensively positioned with a slight underweight. Our mortgage team has constructed a portfolio designed to offset an increase in volatility with a particular focus on ARMs and structured product such as collateralized mortgage obligations. The portfolio's mortgage sector position is now neutral relative to the index.

ING NATIONAL TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING National Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund is managed by Robert Schonbrunn, Portfolio Manager, Karen Cronk, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, and Rink Kilbride, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund's Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.10% compared to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 3.44% and 3.73%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The most significant factor that impacted the municipal bond market over the past six months was the change in the direction of interest rates. In the second quarter interest rates moved higher as the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") continued to raise the federal funds rate. However, after seventeen consecutive rate increases, the Fed paused in August, and interest rates declined in the third quarter. In March, the Fund was positioned defensively and had a relatively low level of sensitivity to interest rate changes. Toward the end of the second quarter, we gradually shifted the portfolio into longer-term issues to increase the Fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes in anticipation of a shift in rates. This strategy had a positive impact on the portfolio by offsetting the negative effect of rising interest rates earlier in the period and also positioned the portfolio to benefit from the rate decline in the third quarter. The relationship of short to long rates, known as the yield curve, flattened as short rates rose faster than longer rates. The portfolio held overweight positions in both short-term and long-term bonds with relatively little in the intermediate maturity sector. This barbell structure performed well as the yield curve flattened. Lower-quality bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds earlier in the year, but became over-valued as interest rates declined. The Fund participated in the lower-quality sector with BBB-rated hospital and tobacco issues during the second quarter. However, we recently shifted the portfolio into higher-quality issues such as municipal housing issues that generate relatively high yields and serve as a replacement for lower-quality bonds. The Fund's yield to maturity of 4.17% was competitively high and positively contributed to the Fund's total return over the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe there is a high probability that the Fed has completed its two-year program to control the risk of rising inflation. This policy shift has positive longer-term implications for the bond market as interest rates are likely to decline. Weakness in the housing market and the broader impact of lower housing asset values on consumer sentiment and consumer spending will dampen economic activity and should hold inflation at acceptable levels. In the near term, while some analysts are concerned that rising labor costs may extend the period before interest rates decline, we believe the longer-term trend may favor generally lower interest rates. In this environment, we are maintaining a higher sensitivity to interest rate movements using longer-maturity bonds which will enable us to participate in the potential drop in rates a nd also to earn the higher yields available on longer-term bonds. We are gradually shifting assets from the longer and shorter ends of the yield curve and building up the intermediate maturity sector to improve yields. We expect to maintain our focus on higher-quality bonds until yields on the lower-quality sectors widen to more attractive levels.

ING CLASSIC MONEY MARKET FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Classic Money Market Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide investors with a high level of current return, consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity, and the maintenance of a stable $1.00 net asset value per share. The Fund is managed by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Portfolio Specifics: After seventeen consecutive quarter-point increases in the federal funds rate, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") voted to keep the rate at 5.25% at its August 8th and September 20th meetings. The FOMC indicated that economic growth could be expected to slow due to a decline in the housing market and higher energy prices. Inflation continues to increase, albeit at a slower pace, and is above the perceived Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") comfort zone remaining a concern to both the Fed and the markets. But, while inflation is a concern, the market has shifted from pricing in a potential Fed increase to pricing in a potential Fed rate cut in late 2006 or early 2007. Short-term money market security yields have declined accordingly.
Our primary investment strategy, which we have had in place since the second half of 2004, did not change significantly during the period. The Fund benefited from interest-rate sensitive floating-rate securities owned throughout the six-month period. In addition to our emphasis on floating-rate securities, we continued to focus on very short maturity securities that typically performed well in a rising rate environment. We made selective purchases in the two-to-three month maturity range only when the market fully priced in future Fed rate increases. For a brief period in June, the market priced in a more aggressive Fed funds rate with the 1-Year London Interbank Offered Rate nearing 5.80%. We took the opportunity to extend the Fund's weighted average maturity ("WAM") from approximately 20 days to 40 days by investing approximately 5% of the Fund in fixed-rate securities with maturities greater than six months. This maturity extension positi oned the Fund to take advantage of the shift in the FOMC's rate posture during the third quarter, and the markets' reaction to such a shift. The fixed-rate securities with maturities longer than six months added a yield premium over shorter securities. We elected to sell a portion of the longer-term fixed-rate securities at a gain during the third quarter as the market priced in future Fed rate cuts. We ended the quarter with a WAM of 31 days.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Statements released by the Fed after each FOMC meeting indicated that the central bank was still concerned with the risks associated with rising inflation. Fed committee members, including Chairman Ben Bernanke, have also continued to express concerns about inflation during recent speeches and public appearances. The market seemed to ignore these concerns, and instead focused on the housing decline and its potential impact on future economic growth. We believe that the market has over reacted. There is still the potential that inflation will become more of a concern and the Fed could be forced to either hold rates where they are for an extended period of time or even raise them. We expect more opportunities in the near-term to extend our weighted average maturity at higher yields than what is currently priced into the market fo r short-term money market securities.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b–1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, "Actual Fund Return," provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, "Hypothetical 5% Return," provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. ING Funds Trust ("Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). The Trust was organized on August 6, 1998 and was established under a Trust Instrument dated July 30, 1998. It consists of six separately managed series: ING GNMA Income Fund ("GNMA Income"), ING High Yield Bond Fund ("High Yield Bond"), ING Intermediate Bond Fund ("Intermediate Bond"), ING National Tax-Exempt Bond Fund ("National Tax-Exempt Bond"), ING Classic Money Market Fund ("Classic Money Market") and ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund ("Institutional Money Market") (Each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").
The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund's prospectus.
Each Fund, except Institutional Money Market, offers at least three of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class M, Class O, Class Q and Class R. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), transfer agent fees, distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years afte r purchase.
Effective September 29, 2006, Class M shares of GNMA Income are closed to new investment, provided that (1) Class M shares of GNMA Income may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by GNMA Income; and (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under its respective prospectus, Class M shares of GNMA Income may be acquired through exchange of Class M shares of other funds in the ING mutual funds complex.
Effective July 31, 2006, Class B shares of the Funds (except Classic Money Market) are closed to new investment, provided that (1) Class B shares of the Funds may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by Class B shares of a Fund; and (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under their respective prospectuses, Class B shares of the Funds may be acquired through exchange of Class B shares of other funds in the ING mutual funds complex.
Effective July 31, 2006, the maximum Class A sales charge for GNMA Income, High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and National Tax-Exempt Bond has been lowered to 2.50%. Return calculations with a starting date prior to July 31, 2006 are based on a 4.75% sales charge, while returns with a starting date on or after July 31, 2006 are based on a 2.50% sales charge.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and securities traded in the over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Funds' valuation procedures. U.S. government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by marketmakers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Funds' Board of Trustees ("Board"), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund's Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If an event
39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by the Fund closes but before the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time the Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, the Fund will use the fair value of such securities as determined under the Fund's valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require the Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis in the determination of a security's fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An indep endent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be m ore accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time a Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in a Fund's NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market use the amortized cost method to value their portfolios securities, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost and amortizing any discount or premium over the period until maturity regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates or the market value of the security.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities' current market values. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding
40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
taxes recorded on the Funds' books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and National Tax-Exempt Bond may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and Institutional Money Market may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. All Funds, with the exception of GNMA Income, declare dividends daily and pay dividends monthly. GNMA Income declares and pays dividends monthly. The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expire.
G. Use of Estimates. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Fund will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invest ed by the Fund. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to
41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it may incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
I. Securities Lending. Each Fund (except GNMA Income) has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender's fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investi ng in a Fund.
J. Organization Expenses and Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the organization of the Funds were expensed as incurred. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of the Funds are deferred and amortized over a twelve-month period starting on the first day of the Guarantee Period on a straight-line basis.
K. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. GNMA Income may not invest in illiquid securities. Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market Funds may not invest more than 10% of their net assets in illiquid securities and all other Funds may not invest more than 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Funds to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") or are securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board or may be deemed illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. With the exception to the Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market Funds, illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board.
L. Delayed Delivery Transaction. The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or a delayed delivery basis. Each Fund (except GNMA Income) may enter into forward commitments. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of such is identified in the Funds' Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Funds' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
M. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Each Fund (except National Tax-Exempt Bond, Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market) may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collatera lized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Funds account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
N. Options Contracts. High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales
42
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
O. Construction Loan Securities. GNMA Income may purchase construction loan securities, which are issued to finance building costs. The funds are disbursed as needed or in accordance with a prearranged plan. The securities provide for the timely payment to the registered holder of interest at the specified rate plus scheduled installments of principal. Upon completion of the construction phase, the construction loan securities are terminated and project loan securities are issued. It is the Fund's policy to record these GNMA certificates on trade date, and to segregate assets to cover its commitments on trade date as well.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — CREDIT RISK AND DEFAULTED SECURITIES
Although each Fund has a diversified portfolio, High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond Funds may invest in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield securities. Investments in high yield securities are accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk and such lower rated securities tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities, because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond held the following defaulted securities at September 30, 2006.
Fund | | Security | | Market Value | |
High Yield | | United Air Lines, Inc. | | |
| | |
Bond | | 6.923%, due 09/01/11 | | $ | 564,247 | | |
| | | | $ | 564,247 | | |
Intermediate | | United Air Lines, Inc. | | |
| | |
Bond | | 6.923%, due 09/01/11 | | $ | 1,908,579 | | |
| | | | $ | 1,908,579 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, it is each Fund's accounting practice to discontinue the accrual of income and to provide an estimate for probable losses due to unpaid interest income on defaulted bonds for the current reporting period.
NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:
| | Six Months Ended September 30, 2006 | | Year Ended March 31, 2006 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | Ordinary Income | | Tax-Exempt Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | |

NOTE 15 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York ("BNY"), the Funds (except GNMA Income) can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the "Agreement"). The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower's failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At September 30, 2006, the following Fund had securities on loan with the following market value:
Fund | | Value of Securities Loaned | | Value of Collateral | |
Intermediate Bond | | $ | 165,718,213 | | | $ | 169,060,933 | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 17 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 ("SFAS No. 157"), Fair Value Measurements. The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (obse rvable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of September, 2006, the Funds are assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting FIN 48 and SFAS No. 157.
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING's U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004, ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the "Boards") of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, including ING Investments (collectively, "ING"), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING's internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING's variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circums tances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Boards.
ING Investments has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING's acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.
Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Boards that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
In September 2005, ING Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD"), the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor
51
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING's U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.
In addition to the arrangements discussed above, in 2004, ING Investments reported to the Boards that, at this time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:
• Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
• ReliaStar Life Insurance Company ("ReliaStar") entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
• In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.
For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/A can be accessed through the SEC's Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING's acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, Investments reported that given ING's refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING's internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. ING Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees' obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
• ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.
• ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.

Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General (the "NYAG") and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of ING Investments were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the "NH Bureau") concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of ING Investments entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the "NYAG Agreement") regarding the endorsement of its products by the New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust ("NYSUT") and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NYAG's findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG's office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the "One-Page Disclosure"). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Pag e Disclosure.
In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of ING Investments entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the "NH Agreement") to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau's claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above.
Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING's businesses.
These regulatory initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which ING is engaged.
In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.
