PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
It is impossible to discuss the current market climate without acknowledging the recent turmoil brought on by problems in the sub-prime mortgage market. Clearly the excesses in this sector of the market and other segments of collateralized debt have created challenges throughout credit markets worldwide.
Amidst the volatility, we at ING Funds remind our shareholders that the creditworthiness and quality of our funds' holdings is our ultimate priority — whether those holdings are part of our money market funds, fixed income funds or equity funds. Market volatility is an often present component of investing and we believe the best way to manage through turbulent environments is to build a well-balanced, fully-diversified portfolio, which aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.
ING Funds remains committed to developing and offering a diverse array of mutual funds designed to meet the goals of most investors. We urge you to work with your investment professional to make sure you are invested appropriately. Together, you can select the funds that will help you achieve your financial goals. We thank you for choosing ING Funds and look forward to continuing to serve you.
Sincerely,

Shaun Mathews

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
After recording a solid, if frequently nervous, 8.2% in the first half of the reporting period, global equities in the form of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(1) ("MSCI World IndexSM") measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends ("MSCI" for regions discussed below) succumbed to a 3.2% loss in the second half of the reporting period, as some important debt markets all but seized up, the crisis threatening the solvency of financial institutions and forcing central bankers to throw lifelines to stranded borrowers, while investors fled to the safe haven of short Treasuries. By year-end, confidence was wavering, oil was nudging $100 per barrel and markets seemed to be pricing in a recession. In currencies, the yen strengthened as "carry trades" were unwound in the flight from risk. The euro benefited from the European Central Bank's implacable refusal to match the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") and reduce interest rates. But the pound finally gave back some of its rece nt gains as the UK housing market started to sag. For the second six months, the dollar fell 8.5% and 8.9% against the euro and yen respectively, but rose 0.3% against the pound.
A relentlessly deteriorating housing market had caused alarm in the sub-prime mortgage loan sector, where lax lending standards in a low interest rate environment, had driven foreclosure rates inexorably higher. The problem had been exacerbated over the years by the business of securitizing the loans. They would be sliced, diced and repackaged for handsome fees into other securities, then sold on in their billions worldwide to financial institutions, which purchased them by issuing commercial paper, over the cost of which an effortless profit could apparently be made.
At one level this spreads the loan risk. But when the originator is removed from those taking the risk another is created. Like the banking business in its simplest form, everything depends on confidence. When it became obvious that these securities, many of them rated A or higher, were ultimately backed by sub-prime and not so sub-prime mortgages with questionable repayment prospects, confidence evaporated. The asset-backed commercial paper market contracted sharply. Banks stopped lending to each other. The structured investment vehicles, their investors and sponsoring banks would have to bear huge losses, but which ones and how much?
The Fed's first response to the liquidity and resulting economic threats was to reduce the discount rate, (the rate it will lend to banks), by 50 basis points (0.50%) on August 17, 2007 and another 100 basis points (1.00%) in three steps by year end, with matching cuts in the federal funds rate.
But it was no good. Using the discount window had a stigma attached to it while the liquidity problem was not an overnight one. The one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") continued to rise even as the Fed eased. A procession of financial institutions announced heavy write- downs of mortgage-backed assets, along with various capital saving and raising initiatives, including the tapping of billions of dollars from sovereign wealth funds based in the Middle-East and Asia, surely a development of historic significance.
The spread between the one-month LIBOR and the federal funds rate only drifted down after the announcement of coordinated central bank action to add liquidity where it was needed including in the U.S., the use of a "term auction facility" where loans would be auctioned and broader forms of collateral would be accepted.
But by year end global economic conditions were still clearly weakening and many felt that the U.S. might already be in or on the cusp of recession.
In U.S. fixed income markets' the Treasury yield curve steepened in the first half and continued to do so in the second. The yield on the ten-year Treasury Note fell 100 basis points (1.00%) to 4.03%, while the yield on the three-month Bill fell 153 basis points (1.53%) to 3.14%. The broader Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index(2) ("LBAB") of investment grade bonds returned 5.93% for the first half of the reporting period and 6.97% for the year ended December 31, 2007.
U.S. equities, represented by the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(3) ("S&P 500® Index") including dividends, lost 1.4% in the second half, with the worst fourth quarter since 2000, after gaining 7% through June. For a while, as the events described above played out, investors seemed to believe that the Fed had the will and the tools to keep any down turn brief. The S&P 500® Index actually made a new high on October 9, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the S&P 500® Index returned 5.49%. But, the sense that a serious crisis was only just beginning to unfold and a succession of earnings disappointments especially among the financials sector, increasingly weighed on sentiment as the year wound down. Bizarrely, gross domestic product ("GDP") growth was being reported at a brisk 4.9%

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
for the third quarter, even as S&P 500 companies were reporting a decline in operating profits, the first fall in more than five years.
Internationally, the MSCI Japan® Index(4) slumped 15.8% in the second half of the reporting period on a resumption of falling consumer prices and fading global growth, while the strengthening yen threatened all-important exports. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the MSCI Japan® Index lost 4.23%. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(5) lost 4.8% in the second six months of the reporting period. A first half rally gave way to nervousness in mid-July after another rate increase and turned into a rout as the sub-prime debacle took shape. U.S. rate cuts were not reciprocated by the European Central Bank, which, with headline inflation up to 3.1%, confined its response to making liquidity available to the banking system, a staggering †500 billion on December 18, 2007. In the UK, stocks surged into the summer making the August 2007 slide ev en more violent than in continental Europe. But similar inflation worries limited the Bank of England to one 0.25% rate reduction despite a clearly weakening housing market. The MSCI UK® Index(5) fell 1.4% in the second half of the reporting period and returned 8.36% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

ING VP BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Balanced Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize investment return consistent with reasonable safety of principal, by investing in a diversified portfolio of one or more of the following asset classes: stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, based on the judgment of the Portfolio's management, of which of those sectors or mix thereof offers the best investment prospects. The Portfolio is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D., Paul Zemsky, and James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 5.57% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index(2) ("LBAB Index") and the Composite Index(3) (60% S&P 500® Index/40% LBAB Index), which returned 5.49%, 6.97% and 6.22%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Asset allocation results contributed positively to performance of the Portfolio during 2007, mainly due to our neutralizing our equity position as equity markets deteriorated.
The performance of the domestic equity portion of the Portfolio was in line with its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index. Stock selection in the smaller-cap stocks was the largest detractor from performance during the year. Selection in the largest-cap stocks added value, particularly in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. Selection effect in information technology and the smaller-capitalization Industrial stocks acted as a major drag.
2007 was a difficult year for quantitatively managed equity strategies, as many underperformed. During the summer, a majority of our quantitative factors related to value, quality and momentum significantly underperformed. A systematic unwinding of highly leveraged positions by quantitative hedge funds, which focused on the same valuation factors, affected many of our holdings during August. A recalibration of factor weights during the second half of the year enabled us to recapture some of the losses, as our model was adjusted to a more growth-oriented market.
The fixed-income portion of the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the LBAB Index. The Portfolio's average credit quality was lower than that of the benchmark and detracted from results, as did the allocation to floating-rate notes and bonds issued by financial entities. While the Portfolios' overweight in mortgage-backed securities was not great, the sector experienced such losses that it hurt performance. An underweighting in corporate bonds for later periods of the year benefited performance. The Portfolio's generally long duration (higher interest-rate risk) stance helped performance for most but not all of the period.
The overall duration of the Portfolio was adjusted as investors fled from riskier bonds to purchase U.S. Treasuries or other sovereign debt. The Portfolio was underweight longer-dated Treasuries at various times, and so benefited form the relative underperformance of longer-dated Treasuries versus shorter as markets began to anticipate aggressive Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") easing and the increasing risks for inflation. We also added Treasury inflation-protected securities positions as a counterweight to a re-inflationary Fed policy.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Economic growth in the United States slowed in the fourth quarter and we believe is likely to remain so into the first half of 2008. In our opinion, this is mainly due to tighter credit conditions, higher energy costs and continued weakness in housing. We do not anticipate any of these negative catalysts turning around in the first half of the year. If the U.S. economy avoids slipping into recession, we believe it may represent a buying opportunity in equities, but we do not see any catalyst at the moment to induce us to add to our stock holdings. We remain neutral in equities, with an overweight to large-cap, which we view as in better position than small- or mid-cap stocks to weather a period of slow growth or aftershocks from the credit crisis.
Allocations between equities and fixed-income are dependent on our quantitative asset allocation model not on a qualitative evaluation of the bond versus the equity markets.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING VP GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
VP Growth and Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in acheiving total return. The Portfolio is managed by Christopher F. Corapi*, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 7.40% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 5.49% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark as a result of solid stock selection and sector allocation decisions. In particular, our stock picks within financials, industrials and health care contributed the most to performance. Underweighting the financials and consumer discretionary sectors throughout most of the year also aided relative returns. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors detracted from performance.
In the financial sector, Deutsche Boerse (sold), the European stock exchange and trading system provider, had a positive impact during the period. This stock was among the capital markets-oriented stocks whose earnings streams were viewed as more insulated from direct effects of the credit crisis. Precision Castparts Corp. and BE Aerospace, Inc. were two industrial names that have benefited from strength in the aerospace market. We believe this cycle could extend even further once the legacy carriers in the United States and Europe re-enter the market, and the next generation narrow body plane is introduced. In health care, our position in Covance, Inc. continues to benefit from the trend for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to outsource more early stage drug development and toxicology testing to contract research organizations.
Our investment in Omnicare, a geriatric pharmaceutical services company, was hurt during the quarter by rumors that the Department of Justice would launch an investigation into their business practices. We sold the position in December, as we believed that an investigation would overshadow management's turnaround efforts. Within consumer discretionary, Liz Claiborne, Inc. declined due to concerns over a continued housing crisis. We believe that lower guidance from the company going forward leaves room for a potential earnings surprise. The company has several strategic options, such as brand divestitures, that could enhance shareholder value. The biggest detractor from performance this year was bond guarantor MBIA, which declined due to exposure to collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and where fears of write downs prompted the company to seek additional outside capital and to shore up loss reserves.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Currently, the Portfolio is positioned in companies that we believe have strong or improving competitive positions, robust end markets or superior capital allocation opportunities. We believe each stock possesses an attractive valuation and a clear catalyst to improve it. Top holdings include Microsoft Corp., Google, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson ("JNJ"). We believe Microsoft Corp. will benefit from an upcoming product cycle in its main business. We believe that this is a major product cycle for Microsoft Corp. and while many are skeptical about the features, we believe that the new operating system and the Office application will be strong. Google, Inc. should be well positioned due to a secular trend toward online advertising, international expansion and growth opportunities in video and display advertising. We find JNJ attr active as a defensive play, given its diverse sources of revenue in terms of product mix and geographic breadth.

ING VP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital through investment in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stock and securities convertible into common stocks believed to offer growth potential. The Portfolio is managed by Richard Welsh, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Jeff Bianchi, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 17.86% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index(1), which returned 11.81% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Although real growth for fourth quarter 2007 is expected to weaken to about 1%, the nine-month average was in line with long-term gross domestic product ("GDP") potential at 3.1%. S&P 500® Index operating earnings surprised to the upside during this period as well. The market was further supported by attractive valuations, particularly relative to other asset categories. Bursting of the housing and credit market bubbles raised the level of both investment uncertainty and risk aversion. From a style perspective, however, growth stock performance relative to value improved dramatically, particularly during the second half. For the year, growth outperformed value by 12% in the Russell 1000® Index, thereby recouping practically all of 2006's relative underperformance. Growth stocks typically outperform in a period of high inflation and slowing economic and earnings growth.
The energy and materials sectors were the strongest performers with each rising 39%. Energy was spurred by the backdrop of a 43% increase in crude oil prices and 19% gain in natural gas. Equipment & services stocks led the advance in the sector. The materials sector benefited from a major contribution from the chemicals industry. The utilities sector also had a strong return of 27%.
The consumer discretionary sector had a negative return of 10.5% led by automobiles and leisure equipment & products. Consumer discretionary stocks started discounting deceleration in consumer spending as a consequence of tighter credit standards, lower confidence and energy prices. The telecommunication services sector fell 7% in large measure due to weakness in the diversified services segment. The financials sector declined less than 1% with particular weakness in the thrifts & mortgage finance industry.
The Portfolio's outperformance was due primarily to stock selection, with seven of ten sectors positive for the year. These sectors included health care, industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, materials, information technology and financials.
Agricultural company, Monsanto Co. made the strongest contribution to returns. Business trends improved throughout the year as evidenced by higher corn seed prices, increased corn acreage and market share gains reflecting superior technology. Market share outside the United States is expected to grow 2% annually through 2010. Shares of Gilead Science performed well as the company's HIV drug franchise continued to gain market share aided by its new triple combination drug, Atripla. Research In Motion Ltd. benefited from accelerated adoption of its BlackBerry phones. Mosaic Co. was another notable contributor.
Ambac Financial Group and American Express detracted equivalent amounts from returns. Ambac Financial Group's share weakness reflected investor nervousness that Ambac Financial Group would have to pay claims on instruments insured. Shares of American Express reflected signs that the sub-prime mortgage contagion was affecting the consumer credit area. Pactiv Corp. also detracted from relative returns as input prices continued to exceed expectations, and competition remained keen in the company's consumer products division. Other notable detractors were ITT Educational Services, Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Systems.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We expect the equity market to continue to feel the impact of housing and financial dislocations, thereby pressuring corporate profits. We anticipate increased volatility during the near-term as we attempt to quantify the damage associated with credit dislocations, real-estate losses and declining confidence. The Portfolio has been positioned more conservatively in anticipation of this backdrop.
From an investment perspective, sharply declining equity markets historically present opportunities. As unwelcome as market volatility and uncertainty are, we believe volatility can result in opportunistic stock purchases. We continuously seek companies that exhibit strong relative business momentum and market recognition at appropriate valuation levels.

ING VP SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Small Company Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Portfolio is managed by Joseph Basset, CFA, and Steve Salopek, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 5.90% compared to the Russell 2000® Index(1), which returned (1.57)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, lagged behind large- and mid-cap stocks for 2007. The Russell 2000® Index finished down 1.57% versus a rise of 5.77% for the Russell 1000® Index and a rise of 5.60% for the Russell Mid Cap Index. Small-cap stocks were hurt by concerns about the housing market and the credit crunch. Despite the federal rate cuts, the market faced considerable headwinds. Issues surrounding the credit markets heightened in July and August and then again in November, and concerns about credit availability affected financial firms and began to spread into the consumer discretionary sector, including retailers and retail real estate investment trust ("REITS"). However, 2007 proved to be positive for small-caps in that growth beat value for the first time since 2003 and active managers outperformed their benchmarks, due to size and quality biases in the market.
Stock selection within financials, energy, industrials and health care, coupled with our slight underweight in consumer discretionary, were the main performance drivers over the period. Stock selection in consumer discretionary and consumer staples detracted most from performance.
Ansys, Inc. BioMarin Pharmaceuticals Inc. and energy company Denbury Resources, Inc. contributed significantly to performance over the period. Ansys, Inc. develops engineering simulation software products. Throughout 2007, the company delivered revenue growth that was often ahead of Wall Street expectations, and expanded margins to near peak levels. The company's better than expected results and positive earnings revisions helped propel the stock higher during the year. BioMarin Pharmaceuticals develops and commercializes therapeutic enzyme products. The company received FDA approval in late 2007 for a drug called Kuvan for the treatment of Phenylketonuria, an inherited metabolic disorder. The company also announced pricing for the drug, which was at the higher end of investors' expectations.
Steven Madden Ltd. (sold) and Entercom Communications Corp. were two of the largest detractors from performance over the period. Steve Madden Ltd. designs and sells footwear brands for men, women and children. The stock's performance was negatively impacted by concerns surrounding earnings expectations and that the company's products were out of favor with the consumer. We no longer hold a position in this company. Entercom Communications Corp., which acquires and operates radio broadcast properties, underperformed in 2007 due to a slowdown in advertising spending. Also, the company's earnings were under pressure throughout the year, as the firm increased their expense and investment for future growth opportunities while revenues fell below expectations. We continue to hold this stock in the Portfolio, as we believe that the company's investments will pay off over the next year or two.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to focus on companies that we believe have strong balance sheets and cash-flow generation capabilities. We believe we are defensively positioned within the financials sector, and have exposure to banks, diversified financials, and insurance. We are underweight real estate investment trusts, as we think that the real estate market is overextended. Within health care, the Portfolio continues to be positioned to gain from the strong demands and needs for behavioral health providers, health care equipment suppliers with niche franchises and disease management providers. We are underweight biotech stocks due to risk and valuation considerations, and we have no exposure to Medicaid managed care providers due to the deteriorating reimbursement environment. Our technology exposure is in software and services, hardware and e quipment and semiconductors.

ING VP VALUE OPPORTUNITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Value Opportunity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. The Portfolio is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D. and Vincent Costa*, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 3.01% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index(1) and the Russell 1000® Index(2), which returned (0.17)% and 5.77%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Portfolio benefited from favorable stock selection in consumer staples. Stock selection among consumer discretionary companies also helped relative performance. Stock selection and an underweight in financials also helped results.
Within consumer staples, two tobacco companies, Carolina Group and Altria Group, Inc., were top performers as tobacco litigation began easing. Strong international growth also enhanced Altria Group, Inc. (sold), Molson Coors Brewing Company, a consumer discretionary, was a turnaround story. Cost cutting, improving market share, and a strong brand boosted the stock price. The Portfolio's underweight in Time Warner, Inc. helped performance as the cable business slowed. Medco Health Solutions, Inc. and Mirant Corp. also contributed significantly.
Our underweight in energy detracted value during the period as higher oil prices aided energy stocks such as Chevron Corp. Growth in emerging countries outpaced the industry's ability to meet natural resources demand. Plains Exploration & Production Co. and Newfield Exploration Co. were two energy holdings that declined over the period. Two financial stocks were important detractors: E*Trade Financial Corp. and Bear Stearns.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Currently, the Portfolio is positioned in companies that we believe have strong or improving competitive positions, robust end markets and/or superior capital allocation opportunities. Furthermore, each stock possesses an attractive valuation and a clear catalyst to improve it.
* Effective November 12, 2007, Omar Aguilar, Ph.D. and Vincent Costa replaced Scott Lewis and Michael Leskinen as portfolio managers to the Portfolio.

ING VP INTERMEDIATE BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return. The Portfolio is managed by James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 5.95% compared to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index(1) ("LBAB"), which returned 6.97% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The dramatic sell-off in risk-based fixed-income assets following the summer of 2007 was the primary driver of performance for bond portfolio managers and sectors of the bond market. While the firestorm started with sub-prime mortgages, the unprecedented risk aversion spread quickly and resulted in massive losses at many mortgage companies, banks and brokerage firms. Sovereign wealth funds became major players in the re-capitalization of U.S. financial institutions. In general, markets made little distinction between the ultimate creditworthiness of individual bonds in the rush for perceived safety. Central banks around the globe were forced to inject liquidity as the inter-bank lending markets came to a near standstill.
The use of credit default swaps and related derivative indices enabled the Portfolio to mitigate some of the negative effects of the market disruption. Generally, the Portfolio's underweighting in corporate bonds for later periods of the year benefited performance. On the other hand, the Portfolio's allocation to floating-rate notes and bonds issued by financial entities acted as a drag. While our over weight in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") was not great, the sector experienced such losses that it hurt our performance. The Portfolio's average credit quality was lower than benchmark and also detracted from results.
The Portfolio's generally long duration (higher interest-rate risk) stance helped performance for most but not all of the period. The overall duration of the Portfolio was adjusted as investors fled from riskier bonds to purchase U.S. Treasuries ("UST") or other sovereign debt. The Portfolio was underweight longer-dated Treasuries at various times, and so benefited from the relative underperformance of longer-dated UST versus shorter as markets began to anticipate aggressive Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") easing and the increasing risks of inflation. We also added Treasury inflation-protected securities ("TIPS") positions as a counterweight to a re-inflationary Fed policy.
Current Outlook and Strategy: Our negative outlook for the U.S. economy remains intact. The pessimistic events in the U.S. residential real estate, amongst its credit enablers, and the systemic illiquidity these events have spawned will not soon abate. Extraordinary interventions by central banks across the world may have to continue into 2008. We believe that the troubles in the bond market will soon impact the real economy as lenders retreat and consumers become concerned about a softening labor market and the shrinking value of their homes.
We do not find solace in the global de-coupling theme advocated by others; and we are skeptical that the rest of the world can be untouched by a significant downturn in the U.S. economy. We maintain our long-term negative outlook for financials, construction and other industries afflicted by the residential real estate market; yet, unique tactical trades may arise near term. Our outlook for the U.S. dollar remains negative although it may be nearing a temporary oversold condition. Unease in the credit marketplace should persist, and we are comfortable with our current credit shorts or underweights. The heavy new issue calendar for corporate bonds may pressure spreads wider on existing paper, as new deals may come at discounts to outstanding paper, but opportunities may soon emerge.
The MBS team believes that their market has not yet priced in the risk of a slowing in prepayments as homeowners are less able to refinance or must stay in their homes longer. The commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") market could witness a rough patch in the near-term as it was not immune to the over-confident lending practices that have hobbled residential MBS.
The interest rates strategy team has positioned the Portfolio slightly long in duration with exposures to TIPS and the front end of the curve. Changing market perceptions of central bank actions may change quickly as could our duration postures.
We continue to hold some special situation high-yield bonds, despite our negative outlook for the sector as large new issues have yet to be digested. We will wait for more generalized price weakness or more compelling relative value before entering emerging market debt in a large way.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING VP MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market instruments. The Portfolio is managed by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 5.13% compared to the iMoneyNet First Tier Retail Index(1), which returned 4.57% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: 2007 was a challenging year for short-term fixed- income investors and in particular money market funds. Money market rates traded in a very narrow range for the first half of the year and into July as the Federal Open Markets Committees ("FOMC") kept the federal funds rate at 5.25%. There were limited opportunities for the Portfolio to differentiate itself from its competitors during this period.
In early August the sub-prime, hedge fund and collateralized debt obligations ("CDO") problems widened to affect most mortgage related markets, money market securities and interbank lending. Commercial paper rates and London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") skyrocketed as there was a flight to quality due to liquidity and counterparty concerns. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") and other central banks were forced to take drastic measures to increase liquidity and market confidence. The Fed flooded the banking system with excess liquidity and cut the discount rate 0.50% in August. This was followed by an additional 0.50% cut in the discount rate and similar cut in the federal funds rate in September. Short-term liquidity and market confidence improved slowly following the moves by the central banks.
This improvement was only temporary forcing the Fed to cut rates another 0.25% on October 31. Liquidity concerns returned in December as the markets worried about financing over year-end and a deteriorating economic outlook. The Fed cut rates another 0.25%. The federal funds rate ended the year at 4.25%, a full percent below where it started the year. The central banks also added significant cash reserves over year-end to replace the financing normally provided by the large global banks.
The Portfolio used various strategies during the year as the market conditions changed. During the early stable period, the Portfolio took advantage of the trading range, increasing its weighted average maturity ("WAM") by buying longer-term fixed securities as rates moved to the higher end of the trading range. Our strategy of overweighting floating rate assets whose yields were tied to LIBOR worked well during the market dislocation and high LIBOR rates experienced during the later part of the year. We selectively bought asset-backed commercial paper of issuers that we determined to be well structured with excess credit enhancement and liquidity provided by highly rated strong financial institutions. We avoided issuers that had large exposure to sub-prime and CDO assets, including structured investment vehicles ("SIVs") which have been in the negative spotlight recently. This strategy allowed the Portfolio to outperform the majority of its peers during the second half of the year and for the year overall. That strategy remains in place.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We expect liquidity and money market securities to remain under stress in 2008 and require additional actions by the U.S. Treasury, the FOMC and other central banks. These will be determined by continued market stress on certain assets classes, interbank market liquidity and the state of the U.S and global economy. The market is expecting the Fed to ease at least 0.25% at its January 30 meeting, with additional cuts over the course of 2008. We see a risk that the effects of the deteriorating housing market and a slowing in the job market could spill over into the full economy. This is not now fully priced into the market. Our current strategy is to continue to take advantage of the high LIBOR rates by buying additional floating rate securities of highly rated issuers and selectively adding duration by buying longer-term fixed r ate securities.

ING VP GLOBAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Thomas P. Callan, CFA, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, Erin Xie, PhD, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager and Jean M. Rosenbaum, CFA, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of BlackRock Advisors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 19.00% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index") and the NYSE Arca Tech 100 IndexSM(2),which returned 5.49% and 7.77%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Over the past year, global equity markets experienced gains, however increased volatility and meaningful market corrections made the period a much different one than in recent years. The Federal Reserve Board cut the federal funds target rate by 50 basis points (0.50%) on September 18, followed by an additional 25 basis points (0.25%) of easing on October 31 and December 11. These were the first rate cuts since July 2003. As financials and consumer discretionary stocks declined due to housing and credit related problems, technology shares faired relatively well amidst uncertain economic conditions.
Both stock selection and sector allocation decisions contributed positively to relative outperformance during the period. The most significant contributor was stock selection, which was positive across all economic sectors. In particular, selection gains were strongest in the information technology group. Allocation benefits were more moderate. The Portfolio's exposure to telecommunication services — a sector that is absent from the benchmark — produced the most favorable results.
Within information technology, selection gains were most pronounced in internet software & services, with Google, Inc. among the strongest contributors, and broadly across semiconductor equipment and software as performance within these groups were well above benchmark results. Stock selection within biotechnology benefited results over the year, as individual company performance varied significantly. Strong picks among wireless telecommunication services names also contributed to performance as several positions appreciated significantly, including Bharti Airtel Ltd. and China Mobile Ltd.
Conversely, hindering the Portfolio's relative return was an underweight to the strong-performing aerospace & defense and computer hardware sub-industry groups. Additionally, weaker stock selection within electronic manufacturing services and data processing & outsourced services partially offset otherwise strong performance across the information technology sector. The greatest drags on relative results from an individual stock perspective came from an underweight to Apple, Inc. and no exposure to Medimmune, Inc., both of which experienced significant price appreciation over the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: While concerns grow about the U.S. economy and the extent of credit-related issues across the financial system, global growth expectations, in our opinion, remain relatively strong. However, forecasts are mixed across regions and we believe the risks are to the downside. We have been steadily building balance in the portfolio by adding more defensive positions and reducing our cyclical exposure. While valuations remain reasonable and world growth relatively robust, we are growing more wary of downside risks and believe caution is warranted. At year-end, the Portfolio was invested in information technology, health care, industrials, telecommunication services, and the remainder distributed among consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and materials sectors. Within information technology, the Portfolio's primary overweights ver sus the NYSE Arca Tech 100 IndexSM were in home entertainment software and internet software & services; significant underweights were in computer hardware, application software, and data processing & outsourced services. Inside the health care portion of the Portfolio, the Portfolio held an above-benchmark allocation to healthcare equipment and pharmaceuticals and a below-benchmark weighting in biotechnology and life science tools & services. Further, we maintained the Portfolio's allocation to telecommunication services, as strong global growth and rising revenue-per-user remain catalysts.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio against the indices indicated. An index has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Portfolio's performance is shown without the imposition of any expenses or charges which are, or may be, imposed under your annuity contract. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or charges were included.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares.
The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.
The performance update illustrates performance for a variable investment option available through a variable annuity contract. The performance shown indicates past performance and is not a projection or prediction of future results. Actual investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio 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 July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. The Portfolios' expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your annuity contract. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, "Actual Portfolio 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 the 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 before expenses)," provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio'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 Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual 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 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. The ING Variable Product Funds are comprised of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Variable Funds, ING Variable Portfolios, Inc., ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio, ING Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc. and ING VP Money Market Portfolio (collectively, "Registrants"), all of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act").
ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on December 14, 1988 with one portfolio, ING VP Balanced Portfolio ("Balanced"). ING Variable Funds is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio ("Growth and Income"). ING Variable Portfolios, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996 and has eight separate portfolios. The four portfolios that are in this report are: ING VP Growth Portfolio ("Growth"), ING VP Small Company Portfolio ("Small Company"), ING VP Value Opportunity Portfolio ("Value Opportunity"), and ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio ("Global Science and Technology"). ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio ("Intermediate Bond"). ING VP M oney Market Portfolio is a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market"). Each of the portfolios is a "Portfolio" and collectively, they are the "Portfolios".
The following is a brief description of each Portfolio's investment objective:
• Balanced seeks to maximize investment return consistent with reasonable safety of principal, by investing in a diversified portfolio of one or more of the following asset classes: stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents based on the judgment of the Portfolio's management, of which of those sectors or mix thereof offers the best investment prospects;
• Growth and Income seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock;
• Growth seeks growth of capital through investment in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock believed to offer growth potential;
• Small Company seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations;
• Value Opportunity seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks;
• Intermediate Bond seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk;
• Money Market seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market instruments; and
• Global Science and Technology seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Each Portfolio offers Class I and Class S shares. Each Portfolio except, Small Company, Money Market and Global Science and Technology offers Adviser ("ADV") Class shares. The three classes differ principally in applicable distribution and service fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Portfolios and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without discrimination between share classes. Common expenses of the Portfolios (including custodial asset-based fees, legal and audit fees, printing and mailing expenses, transfer agency out-of-pocket expenses, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Portfolio in proportion to its relative daily net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular portfolio (including advisory, admi nistration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Portfolio. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, and shareholder servicing fees.
Shares of the Portfolios may be offered to segregated asset accounts of insurance companies as investment options under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. Shares may also be offered to qualified pension and retirement plans outside the variable contract and to certain investment advisers and their affiliates. Class I shares may be made available to other investment companies, including series of the companies under fund-of-funds arrangements.
Participating insurance companies and other designated organizations are authorized to receive purchase orders on the Portfolio's behalf.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)
ING Investments, LLC ("ING Investments'' or the "Investment Adviser"), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. ING Investments has engaged ING Investment Management Co. ("ING IM''), a Connecticut corporation, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to each Portfolio, with the exception of Global Science and Technology. ING Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD" or the "Distributor") is the principal underwriter of the Portfolios. ING Investments, ING IM and the Distributor are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. ("ING Groep"). ING Groep is one of the largest financial services organizations in the world, and offers an array of banking, insurance and asset management services to both individuals and institutional investors.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES`
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. 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 are 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 Portfolios' valuation procedures. U.S. government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers 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 Portfolios' Board of Directors/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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio's Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. The value of a foreign security traded on an exchange outside the United States is generally based on its price on the principal foreign exch ange where it trades as of the time a Portfolio determines its NAV or if the foreign exchange closes prior to the time the Portfolio determines its NAV, the most recent closing price of the foreign security on its principal exchange. Trading in certain non-U.S. securities may not take place on all days on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. Further, trading takes place in various foreign markets on days on which the NYSE is not open. Consequently, the calculation of a Portfolio's NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities held by a Portfolio in foreign securities markets. Further, the value of a Portfolio's assets may be significantly affected by foreign trading on days when a shareholder cannot purchase or redeem shares of the Portfolio. In calculating a Portfolio's NAV, foreign securities denominated in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by a Portfolio closes but before the time that a Portfolio'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 a Portfolio determines its NAV. In such a case, a Portfolio will use the fair value of such securities as determined under a Portfolio's valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require a Portfolio 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 independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value
47
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
as of the time a Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Portfolio to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio's NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
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 Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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, which 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 value. 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 taxes recorded on a Portfolio's 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. Certain Portfolios 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. When entering into a currency forward contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. A Portfolio either enters into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or
48
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Each Portfolio, with the exception of 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio 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 Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Balanced, Growth, Small Company, Value Opportunity, Money Market and Global Science and Technology declare and pay dividends annually. Growth and Income and Intermediate Bond declare and pay dividends semi-annually. The Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, be ing invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-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 Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
I. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio 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, a Portfolio has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Portfolio in the event a Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. A Portfolio 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 investing i n a Portfolio.
49
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
J. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may not invest more than 15% (10% for Money Market) 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 Portfolios to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. The Portfolios may also invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or 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 pur suant to guidelines approved by the Board or may be deemed to be illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. 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.
K. When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. 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 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 Portfolios are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Portfolios' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
L. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Balanced, Growth and Income, Value Opportunity, Global Science and Technology, and Money Market Portfolios 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 Portfolio 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 repu rchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Portfolios account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
M. Options Contracts. Certain Portfolios may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Portfolios 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. An amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability which is subsequ ently marked-to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales 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 covered call option is that the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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.
N. Credit Default Swaps. Certain Portfolios may enter into credit default swap contracts for investment purposes. Certain Portfolios may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against risk of default of debt securities held in their portfolio.
As the seller in a credit default swap contract, a Portfolio would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a
50
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation. In return, a Portfolio would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, a Portfolio would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. As the seller, a Portfolio would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
When a Portfolio purchases a credit default swap, the Portfolio would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. This would involve the risk that the investment may expire worthless and would only generate income in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve credit risk — that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Portfolios in the event of a default.
O. Swap Contracts. Each Portfolio, with the exception of Money Market, may enter into interest rate swaps, currency swaps and other types of swap agreements, including swaps on securities and indices. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other on regularly scheduled dates over a stated term, based on different interest rates, currency exchange rates, security prices, the prices or rates of other types of financial instruments or assets or the levels of specified indices. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Derivatives are also subject to credit risks related to the counterparty's ability to perform, and any deterioration i n the counterparty's creditworthiness could adversely affect the instrument.
P. Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the sale of a security, with an agreement to repurchase the same or a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered borrowings and the difference between the sale and repurchase prices represents interest expense at an agreed upon rate. Whether such a transaction produces a gain for a Portfolio depends upon whether the income and gains on the securities purchased with the proceeds received from the sale of the security exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Portfolio. Reverse repurchase agreements, as a leveraging technique, may increase a Portfolio's yield; however, suc h transactions also increase a Portfolio's risk to capital and may result in a shareholder's loss of principal.
Q. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Registrants may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Registrants' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES (continued)
The Investment Adviser entered into sub-advisory agreements with ING IM. ING IM acts as sub-adviser to all Portfolios except for Global Science and Technology. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, ING IM manages the Portfolios' assets in accordance with the Portfolios' investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC ("BlackRock"), serves as Sub-Adviser to Global Science and Technology pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement effective April 1, 2004 between the Investment Adviser and BlackRock.
Certain ING Portfolios sub-advised by ING IM are permitted to invest end-of-day cash balances into ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund. Investment management fees paid by the Portfolios will be reduced by an amount equal to management fees paid indirectly to the ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund with respect to assets invested by the Portfolios. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Investment Adviser for Balanced, Growth and Income, Growth, Small Company, Value Opportunity and Intermediate Bond waived $37,365, $58,290, $1,291, $15,361, $1,756 and $92,157, respectively. These fees are not subject to recoupment.
Pursuant to administration agreements, ING Funds Services, LLC ("IFS"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, acts as administrator and provides certain administrative and shareholder services necessary for Portfolio operations and is responsible for the supervision of other service providers.
IFS is entitled to receive from each Portfolio a fee at an annual rate of 0.055% on the first $5 billion of daily net assets and 0.03% thereafter.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
ADV Class shares of the respective Portfolios are subject to a Shareholder Service and Distribution Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Distributor is paid an annual shareholder service fee at the rate of 0.25% and an annual distribution fee at the rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to its ADV Class shares.
Class S shares of the Portfolios have adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plans"), whereby the Distributor is compensated by the Portfolios for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Portfolio's shares ("Distribution Fees"). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to compensate for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Portfolio's shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees ("Service Fees") paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 Plans, Class S shares of the Portfolios pay the Distributor a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets.

NOTE 7 — EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
ING Investments entered into written expense limitation agreements ("Expense Limitation Agreements") with each of the following Portfolios whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses (and acquired fund fees and expenses) to the levels listed below:
| | Class ADV | | Class I | | Class S | |
Growth | | | 1.30 | % | | | 0.80 | % | | | 1.05 | % | |
Small Company | | N/A | | | 0.95 | % | | | 1.20 | % | |

Global Science and Technology | | N/A | | | 1.15 | % | | | 1.40 | % | |
The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Portfolio management fees waived and other expenses assumed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Portfolio's expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Manager are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities for each Portfolio.
As of December 31, 2007, the Portfolios have no reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser.
The Expense Limitation Agreements are contractual and shall renew automatically for one-year terms unless ING Investments provides written notice of the termination of an Expense Limitation Agreement within 90 days of the end of the then current term.
NOTE 8 — BORROWINGS
The Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, have entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement ") with a syndicate
of banks led by Citibank, N.A. for an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. The proceeds may be used only to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the Portfolios; and (3) enable the Portfolios to meet other emergency expenses as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Portfolios to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.09% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount. Each of the Portfolios will pay its pro rata share of both the agent and commitment fee. Generally, borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 30 days after the date of a revolving credit advance. The following Portfolios utilized the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2007:
| | Days Utilized | | Approximate Average Daily Balance | | Approximate Weighted Average Interest Rate | |

NOTE 12 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY"), the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolios 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 Portfolio. At December 31, 2007, the Portfolios had securities on loan with the following market values:
| | Value of Securities Loaned | | Value of Collateral | |
Balanced | | $ | 189,920,382 | | | $ | 194,627,493 | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISKS
Concentration (Global Science and Technology). The Portfolio concentrates (for purposes of the 1940 Act) its assets in securities related to a particular industry, which means that at least 25% of its assets will be invested in that particular industry at all times. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a portfolio which has securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.
Foreign Securities (All Portfolios). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Portfolios may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Portfolios. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolios to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Portfolios' investments.
Emerging Markets Investments (Intermediate Bond and Global Science and Technology). Because of less developed markets and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions, the risks of investing in foreign securities can be intensified in the case of investments in issuers domiciled or doing substantial business in emerging market countries.
NOTE 14 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND OTHER TAX MATTERS
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.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2007:
| | Paid-in Capital | | Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains/ (Losses) on Investments | |
Balanced | | $ | 1,035 | | | $ | (790,522 | ) | | $ | 789,487 | | |

Dividends paid by the Portfolios 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:

* Utilization of these capital losses is subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Portfolio's major tax jurisdictions are federal, Arizona and Massachusetts. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2003.
Under U.S. federal income tax law, as specified in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and U.S. Treasury regulations, the Portfolios must meet various technical requirements relating to fund administration, portfolio investments, and "eligible investors" in the Portfolios. Complying with these requirements is a condition for beneficial tax treatment of certain insurance products that offer the Portfolios as investment options. The failure of the Portfolios to meet any of these complex requirements could result in an excise tax, administrative penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, potential liability to insurers whose products include the Portfolios as investment options, and unanticipated costs associated with remedying a failure. It was disclosed in the Portfolio's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006, that an affiliate of a Portfolio's investment adviser may have failed to limit the availability of Intermediat e Bond for investment to "eligible investors" under the Code. Management has determined that it is more likely than not the Portfolio would sustain their tax position relative to this matter.

NOTE 17 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 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 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the SEC indicated that they would not object if a fund implemented FIN 48 in its NAV calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial s tatement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. 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. Management of the Portfolios has analyzed the tax positions of the Portfolios. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we identified no uncertain tax positions that have not met the more likely-than-not standard.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 to sell 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 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 obt ained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable 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 December 31, 2007, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact in addition to expanded financial statement disclosures, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADIING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
The adviser and its affiliates ("ING") received informal and formal requests for information or subpoenas from the SEC, NASD, Attorney General for the State of New York ("NYAG") as well as certain other governmental agencies in connection with "late trading" activity and/or "market timing" activity in the Portfolios. ING agreed with the Portfolios to indemnify and hold harmless the Portfolios 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In November, 2007, ING settled its indemnification commitments by making payments to the affected Portfolios. In connection with the settlement, ING paid $1,480 to Intermediate Bond.
NOTE 19 — LITIGATION
On December 12, 2003, Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. received a copy of a complaint (the "Complaint") filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in the matter of Enron Corp. v. Mass Mutual Life Insurance Co., et al. Among other defendants named in the Complaint are defendants ING VP Balanced Portfolio, and ING VP Bond Portfolio (the "Subject Portfolios"). As of August 6, 2004 the ING VP Bond Portfolio changed its name to the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio. The Complaint alleges that Enron Corp. ("Enron") transferred to the defendants, including the Subject Portfolios, over $1 billion in the aggregate for the purpose of prepaying certain commercial paper issued by Enron (the "Notes") and held by the defendants prior to the filing by Enron for
60
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 19 — LITIGATION (continued)
bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").
The Complaint seeks to recover from the defendants, including the Subject Portfolios, these transfers under the alternative but interrelated bankruptcy theories of preferential transfer and fraudulent conveyance. Although the Complaint does not specify the amount of each transfer in dispute, it appears that the sale of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc. of $23,181,757 of the Notes on or about October 29, 2001, and the sale by ING VP Bond Portfolio, Inc. of $24,963,125 of the Notes on or about October 29, 2001 are in dispute. The Complaint seeks to require the Subject Portfolios to repay to Enron the full amount of these transfers, in which event the Subject Portfolios would be granted unsecured claims against the Enron bankruptcy estate in the amounts of the repayments. If Enron proves up the elements of preferential transfer and/or fraudulent conveyance, these are strict liability theories of recovery.
The Subject Portfolios are part of a defense group of similarly-situated defendants. Along with those and other defendants, the Subject Portfolios moved to dismiss all counts of the Complaint, contending, among other things, that section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code provides a complete defense.
The Bankruptcy Court denied the motion on July 1, 2005. Accordingly, the Subject Portfolios filed an answer to the Complaint on July 29, 2005. The Subject Portfolios moved for leave to pursue an immediate appeal (the "Appeal") of the Bankruptcy Court's decision to the District Court.
The Subject Portfolios motion for leave to appeal the denial of defendants' motion to dismiss that has been pending for over 18 months. On January 25, 2008, the United States District Court of Southern New York denied the motion for leave to appeal the bankruptcy court's denial of our motion to dismiss. The court found there were questions of fact that still needed to be resolved. Expert depositions are expected to be taken through the second quarter of 2008. A motion for summary judgment is being prepared for trial. Settlements are being monitored as they are announced.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for a mutual fund will terminate automatically after the initial term of the agreement (which term may not exceed two years), unless continuation of the agreement is approved annually by the Board of Trustees or Directors, as the case may be (the "Board") of the fund, including a majority of the Trustees/Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the agreement and who are not "interested persons" of the fund (the "Independent Trustees"). Consistent with this requirement of the 1940 Act, the Board of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio, ING VP Money Market Portfolio, ING Variable Funds, ING Variable Portfolios Inc., ING Series Fund, Inc. and ING GET Funds, with respect to each portfolio series thereof (col lectively, the "Funds") has established a process for considering on an annual basis approval of the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement for each Fund (the "Advisory Agreement") with ING Investments, LLC (the "Adviser") and the sub-advisory agreement for each Fund (collectively, the "Sub-Advisory Agreements") with each sub-adviser of the Funds (the "Sub-Advisers"). Set forth below is a description of the process followed by the Board in considering approval of the continuation of each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements"), together with an explanation of many of the factors considered and related conclusions reached by the Board in voting to approve the continuation of each Agreement for an additional one-year period commencing January 1, 2008, followed by specific considerations with respect to each portfolio series covered by this report (each, a "Portfolio").
Overview of the Review Process
At a meeting of the Board held on December 19, 2007, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of each of the existing Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds. Prior to voting such approvals, the Board received the affirmative recommendation of the Contracts Committee of the Board, which is a Committee of the Board comprised of all of the Independent Trustees and exclusively of the Independent Trustees. The Contracts Committee recommended approval of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements after completing an extensive review of information requested by the Committee from the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, including the following: (1) comparative performance data for each Fund for various time periods; (2) comparative data regarding management fees, including data regarding the fees charged by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using inv estment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the Funds; (3) comparative data regarding the total expenses of each Fund; (4) copies of each form of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; (5) copies of the codes of ethics of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, together with information relating to the manner in which each code is administered; (6) financial statements of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser; (7) profitability analyses for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund, and all Funds as a group; (8) descriptions of the qualifications of the investment personnel responsible for managing each Fund, their compensation and their responsibilities with respect to managing other accounts or mutual funds; (9) descriptions of the services provided to the Funds, including the investment strategies and techniques used by each Sub-Adviser in managing the Funds; (10) data relating to portfolio turnover and brokerage practices, including practices with respect to the acqu isition of research through "soft dollar" benefits received in connection with the Funds' brokerage; (11) data comparing the performance of certain Funds against "static portfolios" of the Funds over various time periods; (12) descriptions of the policies and procedures of the various service providers of the Funds for protecting the privacy of shareholder information; (13) information relating to projected sales and redemptions of Fund shares and business plans relating to the Adviser's mutual fund platform; (14) descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser; (15) descriptions of various compliance programs of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including the Adviser's programs for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Funds' policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure; (16) independent reports analyzing the quality of the trade execution services performed by Sub-Advisers for the Funds; and (17) other inf ormation relevant to an evaluation of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser in response to a series of detailed questions posed by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees.
The Contracts Committee began the formal review process in July 2007 when it met separately with independent legal counsel to review the information to be requested from management and the methodology to be used in determining the selected peer groups for comparing performance and expenses. The Contracts Committee then held meetings on October 24-25, 2007, December 11, 2007 and December 17-18, 2007, during which the
131
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Independent Trustees, meeting separately with independent legal counsel, reviewed and evaluated the information described above. As part of the review process, the Contracts Committee also met with representatives from the Adviser and/or the Sub-Advisers to discuss the information provided to the Committee. The Contracts Committee also considered information that had been provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers throughout the year at other meetings of the Contracts Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee and the full Board.
The Independent Trustees were assisted by Goodwin Procter LLP, their independent legal counsel, throughout the contract review process. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Independent Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Independent Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds for the year commencing January 1, 2008, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Board considered the investment management and related services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including the quantity and quality of the resources available to provide such services. Among other things, the Board considered the qualifications of the individuals responsible for performing various investment related services.
The Board also considered the quality of the compliance programs of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, including the manner in which the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser monitor for compliance with the investment policies and restrictions of a Fund and with the Codes of Ethics of the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers with respect to personal trading by employees with access to portfolio information. The Board also considered the actions taken by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to establish and maintain effective disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
The Board considered the actions taken by the Adviser and its affiliated companies to administer the Funds' policies and procedures for voting proxies, valuing the Funds' assets, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings and preventing late-trading and frequent trading of Fund shares. With respect to these and related compliance matters, the Board also considered the responsiveness of the Adviser and its affiliated companies over the course of the past several years to the inquiries of various regulatory authorities.
The Board also took into account the efforts of the Adviser and its affiliated companies to reduce the expenses of the Funds. With respect to those Funds that are sub-advised by an affiliate of the Adviser, the Board specifically noted that, in recent years, the Adviser and its affiliated companies have significantly reduced the Funds' brokerage costs and portfolio turnover rates, as well as the quantity of research acquired through the use of soft dollars from the Funds' brokerage. The Board also noted the efforts of the Adviser to optimize the number of Funds in the ING complex of mutual funds and to standardize the asset management characteristics and policies across the ING mutual fund platform. Consideration was also given to the benefits that shareholders of the Funds realize because the Funds are part of a larger ING family of mutual funds, including, in most cases, the ability of shareholders to exchange or transfer investments withi n the same class of shares among a wide variety of mutual funds without incurring additional sales charges.
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of advisory and related services provided by the Adviser and each of the Sub-Advisers, taken as a whole, are consistent with the terms of the respective Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements and justify the fees paid by the Funds for such services.
Fund Performance
The Board reviewed each Fund's investment performance over various time periods on an absolute basis and relative to the performance of (i) one or more appropriate benchmark indexes (such as the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index), (ii) a group of similarly managed mutual funds identified by Lipper, Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc., and (iii) similarly managed mutual funds within a specified peer group based upon a methodology approved by
132
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the Contracts Committee (each, a "Selected Peer Group"). The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, where applicable, ending June 30, 2007 and the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending September 30, 2007. Summaries of selected portions of the performance information reviewed by the Board, together with the Board's conclusions regarding the performance of each Portfolio covered by this report, are set forth below under "Fund-by-Fund Analysis."
Management Fees, Sub-Advisory Fees and Expenses
Consideration was given to the contractual investment advisory fee rates, inclusive of administrative fee rates, payable by the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliated companies (referred to collectively as "management fees") and the contractual sub-advisory fee rates payable by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, both before and after giving effect to any undertaking by the Adviser to waive fees and/or limit the total expenses of a Fund. In addition, the Trustees received information regarding the fees charged by each Sub-Adviser to similarly-managed institutional accounts and other mutual funds, if any, and the comparability (or lack thereof) of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser in managing such accounts and other mutual funds to the services provided in managing the Funds. Wi th respect to the Funds sub-advised by an affiliate of the Adviser, the Board evaluated the reasonableness of the total fees received by the Adviser and its affiliate in the aggregate under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. With respect to those Funds sub-advised by a Sub-Adviser that is not affiliated with the Adviser, the Board considered the reasonableness of the fees payable to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser in light of the ability of the Adviser to negotiate such fees on an arm's-length basis. Summaries of selected portions of the fee and expense information reviewed with respect to each Portfolio covered by this report are set forth below under "Fund-by-Fund Analysis." After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the management fee charged to the Fund for advisory, sub-advisory and related services is fair and reasonable and that the total expense ratio of the Fund is reasonable.
Profitability
The Board considered information relating to revenues, expenses, and profits realized by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser attributable to performing advisory, sub-advisory and administrative services for the Funds. With respect to Funds sub-advised by an unaffiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board did not consider the profitability of the Sub-Adviser to be a material factor because the Board believes that the Adviser negotiates sub-advisory fees with the unaffiliated Sub-Adviser on an arm's-length basis. The Board reviewed profitability data for the Adviser and its affiliated companies, including the distributor of the Funds, relating to (i) each Fund separately, (ii) all Funds as a group, (iii) all "retail" Funds as a group, and (iv) all variable insurance product Funds as a group, in each case for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. With respect to the Adviser and i ts affiliates, such information was prepared in accordance with a methodology approved by the Contracts Committee. The Board considered the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliated companies attributable to managing and operating each Fund both with and without the profitability of the distributor of the Funds and both before and after giving effect to any expenses incurred by the Adviser or any affiliated company in making revenue sharing or other payments to third parties, including affiliated insurance companies, for distribution and administrative services. With respect to Funds sub-advised by an affiliate of the Adviser, the Board considered the total profits derived by the Adviser and its affiliate in the aggregate attributable to managing and operating each Fund. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, and any affiliated companies thereof, derive from their relationships with the Funds, including the receipt by ING U.S. Financial Services, an affiliate of the Adviser, of fees relating to the offering of bundled financial products, such as annuity contracts, and the receipt by Sub-Advisers of "soft dollar" benefits from the Funds' brokerage. The Board concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies, taken as a whole, with respect to providing advisory, sub-advisory and administrative services for each Fund are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of the management fee of each Fund, the Board considered the extent to which economies of scale can be expected to be realized by a Fund's Adviser and its affiliated companies, on the one
133
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
hand, and by the Fund, on the other hand, as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board noted that the advisory fee schedule for certain Funds includes breakpoints such that, as the assets of the Fund increase, the Fund's management fee will decrease as a percentage of the Fund's total assets. The Board recognized the inherent difficulties in measuring precisely the impact of any economies of scale being realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies with respect to their management of any one or more Funds. In an effort to determine the extent to which economies of scale, if any, will be realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies as the assets of the Funds grow, the Board considered the profitability data described above relating to the Adviser and its affiliated companies in light of changes in the assets of the Funds over various time periods. The Board noted that the total assets under management of many Funds have decrea sed during the past several years and concluded that the economies of scale realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies from managing the Funds have not increased with respect to such Funds. The Board also reviewed information regarding the expense ratio of each Fund in light of changes in the assets of the Funds over various time periods, noting that, as the assets of a Fund increase, the fixed expenses of the Fund, as a percentage of the total assets of the Fund, can be expected to decrease. The Board considered such expense information in light of projections provided by the Adviser with respect to the future growth of assets of the Funds. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the economies of scale being realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies do not mandate the implementation of breakpoints or additional breakpoints, as the case may be, with respect to any Fund at this time.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
In deciding to approve the continuation of each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period beginning January 1, 2008, the Board took into account the specific data and factors identified below relating to the performance, fees and expenses of each Fund and actions being taken by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as the case may be, with respect to these matters. Except as otherwise indicated, the performance data described below for each Portfolio is for periods ended September 30, 2007 and the management fees and expense data described below are as of June 30, 2007.
ING VP Balanced Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted that the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year, three-year and five-year periods. The Board received performance information relating to a benchmark index of fixed income securities (the "FISB") and equity securities (the "ESB") from which the Board could calculate a composite benchmark index (the "Composite Benchmark") comprised of 60% ESB and 40% FISB. The Board noted that the Portfolio underperformed the Composite Benchmark for all periods presented. The Board considered the fact that the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the fourth quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year, three-year, and five-year periods. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser manages the equity portion of the Portfolio using a quantitative-based model for selec ting stocks based on static factor weightings and that the Sub-Adviser is in the process of developing a model with dynamic factor weightings, which is expected to be implemented in 2008. The Board concluded that appropriate actions are being taken to improve performance and that additional time is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio, the Board noted that: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date and three-year periods, but underperformed for the one-year and five-year periods; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year and three-year periods but underperformed for the five-year period; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date and three-year periods, in the third quintile for the five-year period and in the fourth quintile for the one-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
134
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the portfolios in its Selected Peer Group.
ING VP Growth Portfolio

The Board further noted that in July 2007, the Board approved the transition to a quantitative, opportunistic large-cap growth strategy commencing in November 2007. The Board concluded that appropriate actions are being taken to i mprove performance and that additional time is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING VP Growth Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio, the Board noted that: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for year-to-date, one-year and three-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter and five-year periods; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index for the three-year period but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year and five-year periods; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the second quintile for the three-year period, in the third quintile for the year-to-date and one-year periods, in the fourth quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and in the fifth quintile for the five-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.

year-to-date and one-year periods, in the fourth quintile for the three-year period and in the fifth quintile for the five-year period.

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY
I. Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the ING Funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out under Paragraph I on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds. The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.
Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds’ may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”). The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors. Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.
For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds. Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality. Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.
The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval. For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval. The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate. This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.
3
II. Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the Committee’s specific pre-approval. Audit services are those services that are normally provided by auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or those that generally only independent auditors can reasonably provide. They include the Funds’ annual financial statement audit and procedures that the independent auditors must perform in order to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements (e.g., information systems and procedural reviews and testing). The Committee will monitor the audit services engagement and approve any changes in terms, conditions or fees deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate.
The Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, such as statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or issued in connection with securities offerings.
The Committee has pre-approved the audit services listed on Appendix A. The Committee must specifically approve all audit services not listed on Appendix A.
III. Audit-related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of the Funds’ financial statements or are traditionally performed by the independent auditors. The Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services will not impair the independent auditors’ independence, and therefore may grant pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR.
The Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services listed on Appendix B. The Committee must specifically approve all audit-related services not listed on Appendix B.
IV. Tax Services
The Committee believes the independent auditors can provide tax services to the Funds, including tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, without compromising the auditors’ independence. Therefore, the Committee may grant general pre-approval with respect to tax services historically provided by the Funds’ independent auditors that do not, in the Committee’s view, impair auditor independence and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Committee will not grant pre-approval if the independent auditors initially recommends a transaction the sole business purpose of which is tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may
4
not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Committee may consult outside counsel to determine that tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.
The Committee has pre-approved the tax-related services listed on Appendix C. The Committee must specifically approve all tax-related services not listed on Appendix C.
V. Other Services
The Committee believes it may grant approval of non-audit services that are permissible services for independent auditors to a Fund. The Committee has determined to grant general pre-approval to other services that it believes are routine and recurring, do not impair auditor independence, and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.
The Committee has pre-approved the non-audit services listed on Appendix D. The Committee must specifically approve all non-audit services not listed on Appendix D.
A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these impermissible services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the SEC’s prohibitions.
VI. Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts
The Committee will annually establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be provided to the Funds by the independent auditors. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require the Committee’s specific pre-approval. The Committee considers fees for audit and non-audit services when deciding whether to pre-approve services. The Committee may determine, for a pre-approval period of 12 months, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for the Fund’s audit, audit-related, and tax services (including fees for services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services for the Fund classified as other services (including any such services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).
VII. Procedures
Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditors will be submitted to management. If management determines that the services do not fall within those services generally pre-approved by the Committee and set out in the appendices to these procedures, management will submit the services to the Committee or its delagee. Any such submission will include a detailed description of the services to be rendered.
Notwithstanding this paragraph, the Committee will, on quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided to date by the auditors during Pre-Approval Period.
5
VIII. Delegation
The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing. The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.
IX. Additional Requirements
The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds. This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

The Nominating Committee operates pursuant to a Charter approved by the Board. The primary purpose of the Nominating Committee is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the nomination and selection of Independent Trustees. In evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee may consider a variety of factors, but specific qualifications of candidates for Board membership will be based on the needs of the Board at the time of nomination.
The Nominating Committee is willing to consider nominations received from shareholders and shall assess shareholder nominees in the same manner as it reviews nominees it identifies. A shareholder nominee for director should be submitted in writing to the Fund’s Secretary. Any such shareholder nomination should include sufficient background information concerning the candidate and should be received in a timely manner. At a minimum, the following information as to each individual proposed for nomination as director should be included: the individual’s written consent to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee (if nominated) and to serve as a director (if elected), and all information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case under applicable federal securities laws, rules and regulations.
The Secretary shall submit all nominations received in a timely manner to the Nominating Committee. To be timely, any such submission must be delivered to the Fund’s Secretary not earlier than the 90th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made, by either disclosure in a press release or in a document publicly filed by the Fund with the SEC.
In evaluating a candidate for the position of Independent Trustee, including any candidate recommended by shareholders of the Fund, the Nominating Committee shall consider the following: (i) the candidate’s knowledge in matters relating to the mutual fund industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the candidate as a director or senior officer of other public companies; (iii) the candidate’s educational background, reputation for high ethical standards and professional integrity; (iv) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board’s existing mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications; (v) the candidate’s perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the candidate’s ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vi) the candidate’s ability to qualify as an Independent Trustee for purposes of the 1940 Act; and (vii) such other factors as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies. Prior to making a final recommendation to the Board, the Committee shall conduct personal interviews with those candidates it concludes are the most qualified candidates.
