PRESIDENT'S LETTER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the December 31, 2002 Annual Report for the ING
Variable Product Portfolios.
The year ended December 31, 2002 proved to be a difficult year as a weak economy
and continued accounting scandals in the corporate sector took their toll on the
U.S. equity markets. While stocks in developed markets generally declined during
the year, returns were mixed for emerging markets.
Amid the difficulties of the past year, we were successful in integrating the
operations of various mutual fund groups that have been acquired by ING Groep
N.V. over the past two years. The ING Funds family now offers more than 100
open- and closed-end funds and variable products with a wide range of investment
objectives and styles.
At ING Funds, we are dedicated to providing core investments for serious
investors. Our goal is to understand and anticipate your needs and objectives,
and manage our products accordingly. We greatly appreciate your continued
investment in the ING Funds.
Sincerely,
(/s/ James M. Hennessy)
James M. Hennessy
President

ING VP INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGER: Vince Fioramonti, Portfolio Manager, Aeltus Investment
Management, Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks
long-term growth of capital through investment in equity equivalents of
companies outside the United States.
MARKET OVERVIEW: Despite a strong recovery rally in the final quarter of 2001
and a promising start to the year, international markets declined significantly
for the year as a whole. The benchmark MSCI EAFE Index lost 15.66% for the year,
which result was cushioned by a significantly weaker U.S. Dollar. Pan-Europe,
accounting for almost 70% of the benchmark, was the worst performing region with
a decline of 18.1%. The Japanese market (-10.1%) and Developed Asia/Australia
(-5.7%) proved relatively defensive.
A number of factors contributed to this disappointing outcome. Earnings
forecasts in Europe were under sustained pressure due to the weak European
economy and a declining U.S. Dollar. While the accounting fraud and manipulation
issues were not as prevalent as in the U.S., all markets were affected. The
escalating geo-political risks also served to undermine investor sentiment. The
third quarter was particularly brutal, with most markets experiencing one of
their worst ever quarters. Taking their lead from the U.S. market, international
markets recovered somewhat in the fourth quarter. Japan declined against this
trend as the much hoped for Japanese recovery was once again postponed.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding any charges, returned -26.68% compared to MSCI EAFE Index,
which returned -15.66% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Portfolio's strong growth orientation proved to be
problematical in the first half of the year. The bulk of the Portfolio's
underperformance was concentrated in this period, due largely to adverse stock
selection particularly in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in Japan. Rapid
declines in the value of four securities had an especially significant negative
impact in this period. Two of these stocks were in the consumer discretionary
sector. Vivendi Universal (Europe: multi-media and environmental) was impacted
by poor management and debt issues, while Fast Retail, a Japanese apparel
retailer, misread the fashion market in a slowing Japanese economy. In the
healthcare sector, Shire Pharmaceuticals (United Kingdom-drugs) fell sharply
when management announced a reduced outlook due to higher new product
introduction costs and fiercer than expected competition from generic drug
producers. Further, the underperformance in the telecommunication sector was due
to Telewest (United Kingdom-cable TV). Telewest, a well-ranked cable operator,
fell sharply after competitors applied for debt renegotiations.
The ongoing market volatility and disproportionate risks associated with
individual stock bets indicated a need for increased diversification.
Accordingly, the number of securities was increased from 83 at the start of the
year to 102 by mid-year, and to 125 by the end of the third quarter. The
Portfolio's underperformance was markedly reduced in the third quarter, and was
largely attributable to a further decline of Vivendi (resignation of the CEO)
before the stock was sold, and a sharp decline in the stock price of Swedish
publisher Enrico on the back of an earnings warning. The portfolio
underperformed marginally in the fourth quarter, with the negative contribution
from the utilities, consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors slightly
outweighing the strong contribution from the European telecommunications
holdings.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Investors in Europe are clearly concerned about the economic
outlook and profits. However, these risks are clearly recognized by the market
and are largely priced in. With the support of low bond yields and further
monetary easing, we expect the focus in 2003 to be increasingly on recovery and
restructuring potential, as reflected in our overweight in technology and
telecom. For Japan the economic scenario remains drab and the market currently
lacks strong catalysts to inspire foreigners to enter the market. We overweight
information technology, consumer discretionary and healthcare, balanced by
underweight in consumer staples, materials and utilities. In Australia we
balance a cyclical exposure in materials with a defensive one in consumer
staples. In other areas of Asia we favor companies with established franchises,
in particular those that benefit from stronger global economic growth.

ING VP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Kenneth H. Bragdon, Portfolio Manager, Aeltus Investment
Management, Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital
primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and
securities convertible into common stock.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) posted a loss of 22.10% in 2002,
its worst calendar year performance since 1974. Concerns about the integrity of
corporate accounting, the strength of the U.S. economic rebound, and
international hostilities consistently weighed on the market all year.
The year ended with a rally in the fourth quarter, which was sustained by the
Federal Reserve's ("Fed") surprise 50 basis point rate cut on November 6th.
Evidencing a significant change in investor sentiment, the rally occurred
primarily in sectors like telecommunication services and information technology,
which had suffered the worst performance in the first nine months of the year.
In terms of market capitalization, the smallest stocks within the S&P 500
outperformed the largest stocks due in part to investors' accounting and
valuation fears, which were primarily related to larger cap stocks.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding any charges, provided a total return of -28.94% compared to
the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned -27.88% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Our performance was negatively impacted by our underweight
position in the consumer staples sector. While many consumer staples stocks
appeared expensive relative to historic valuation ranges, it was one of the few
sectors that showed positive, albeit modest, EPS growth during the year.
Investors seeking a relative safe haven in a declining market were drawn to the
sector making it one of the top performing groups in the index. We believe it
may be difficult for these stocks to show the same relative earnings momentum in
2003, and we remain underweight the sector.
Poor stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector also hurt the
Portfolio's relative performance. Retailing stocks were weak during the second
half of the year reflecting investors' concerns over declining consumer
confidence and its potential impact on consumer spending. Our holdings in
retailers such as the Home Depot and Dollar Tree Stores were particularly hard
hit on these concerns.
On the positive side, strong stock selection in the healthcare and technology
sectors helped the Portfolio's relative performance. In the healthcare sector,
our holdings in drug maker Forest Laboratories rose sharply following the
successful launch of Lexapro, the company's newest anti-depressant drug. Shares
of Varian Medical Systems also performed exceptionally well during the year
driven by accelerating demand for its oncology treatment equipment. We also
avoided several high-profile disappointments in the sector such as Tenet
Healthcare and Bristol-Myers Squibb, which declined significantly during the
period. In the technology sector, our holdings in Intuit and Dell Computer
significantly outperformed both the technology sector and the broader market.
Intuit's earnings growth rate accelerated over the course of the year driven by
strong sales of its consumer software packages and improved penetration and
pricing among small and mid-sized business customers. Meanwhile, Dell's low-cost
business model enables it to gain significant market share in the personal
computer and server markets.
MARKET OUTLOOK: While U.S. economic data has been mixed recently, we see a
number of encouraging signs, which suggest the economy may be improving, albeit
at a modest pace. Weekly jobless claims have declined, and there were also
positive surprises in personal consumption and durable goods orders during the
quarter as well as a positive revision to third quarter GDP. These data points,
combined with the recent 50 basis point cut in the Fed Funds target rate, set a
positive backdrop for the equity markets. We continue to focus on companies with
positive business momentum, sustainable growth prospects and attractive
valuation.

ING VP SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGER: Carolie Burroughs, Vice-President and Equity Portfolio
Manager, Aeltus Investment Management, Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP Small Company Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of
capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks
and securities convertible into common stocks of companies with smaller market
capitalizations corresponding to the Russell 2000 Index.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The U.S. equities market was highly volatile in 2002,
experiencing a massive sell-off followed by a highly speculative rally. As
evidenced by the major indices, large capitalization and growth-oriented stocks
had the most difficulty. For the calendar year ending December 31, 2002, the S&P
500 Index was down 22.10%, the Russell 1000 Index was down 21.65%, the NASDAQ
was down 31.26%, while the S&P 400 Index was down 14.51% and the S&P 600 Index
was down 14.62%.
Smaller capitalization stocks outperformed their large cap counterparts during
this volatile market. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2002, the
Russell 2000 Index returned -20.48%. The financial services sector provided the
largest positive contribution to the Index's return, while the technology sector
provided the largest negative contribution. During this period, the Russell 2000
Value Index beat the Russell 2000 Growth Index by almost 1,900 basis points.
2002 was a year of high anxiety for investors -- corporate malfeasance, an
uncertain economic recovery, geopolitical risks. The equity risk premium became
too great for investors. The market started to decline during the second quarter
as funds flowed out of the U.S. equities markets.
As we entered the third quarter, the equities market experienced a massive
sell-off. Investors, who had poured money into equities through their 401K plans
and other retail accounts during the bull market, capitulated and moved their
money to fixed income, real estate, or cash. This outflow of liquidity continued
throughout the quarter. From trough to peak, volatility in the market increased
over 100%.
The market continued its sell-off into the fourth quarter. On October 9th, the
U.S. equities market reached its lowest level year-to-date -- a level not seen
for almost five years. The market then did the unexpected. After months of
anxiety over corporate fraud, earnings quality, and appropriate disclosure in
corporate financial reporting, the market engaged in a highly speculative rally,
while the better quality stocks continued to sell-off. For most of the fourth
quarter, the best performing stocks in the Russell 2000 Index were those with
high multiples, negative earnings, high betas, lower earnings visibility, and
low stock prices (less than $8 per share). Most of the Index's performance came
from technology, telecommunications, and technology-like stocks. However, the
micro cap end of the Russell 2000 Index -- stocks with market capitalizations
less than $300 million -- significantly outperformed the rest of the Index, even
after excluding technology and telecommunications stocks. The speculative rally
became subdued in the tail end of the quarter as the market began to broaden and
reward companies with better fundamentals.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Class R shares, excluding
any charges, returned -23.23% compared to the Russell 2000 Index, which returned
- -20.48% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Stock selection in the healthcare sector was the largest
positive contributor to performance. Stock selection in the materials and
processing sector was the largest negative contributor to performance. A
significant underweight position in the financial services sector early in the
year hurt performance. A slight overweight in the technology sector also hurt
performance.
The largest individual positive contributors to performance during the period
were Charles River Laboratories, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Corinthian
Colleges. The largest negative contributors were ESS Technology, Transkaryotic
Therapies, and Action Performance Companies.
MARKET OUTLOOK: We expect smaller capitalization stocks to perform strongly as
we enter 2003. First, the better earnings visibility of small cap stocks will
likely become more apparent to investors as the fourth quarter 2002 earnings
season gets underway. Second, economic data continue to validate the recovery,
and, historically, small cap stocks outperform during post-recession recovery
periods. Finally, as investor anxiety over the economy and the geopolitical
environment subsides and market volatility gradually declines, small cap stocks
should continue to outperform their large cap counterparts.

ING VP TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Ronald E. Elijah and Roderick R. Berry, AIC Asset
Management, LLC.
GOAL: The ING VP Technology Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in common stocks and
securities convertible into common stock of companies in the information
technology industry sector.
MARKET OVERVIEW: In 2002, the financial markets suffered through yet another
down year, with all of the major indices losing ground for the third straight
year. The steady market sell-off during the first half of the year was largely
driven by the uncertainty created by geopolitical turmoil as well as a continued
unwinding of excess capacity. Although evidence was emerging that suggested the
U.S. economy was moving in the right direction, investor concerns easily
overshadowed the economic advancements.
Entering the second half of 2002 the U.S. markets began to exhibit an increase
in volatility that typically characterizes a market capitulation bottom.
Weighing heavily on the market during the second half of the year, were
deteriorating economic data-points that again raised the specter of a double-dip
recession. To date, the consumer has largely been credited with initiating the
current recovery, however, evidence emerged in the fall that suggested this
engine of economic growth might be tiring. To begin with, we saw a rapid decline
in the widely watched University of Michigan's Consumer Confidence index that
declined to a nine-year low of 80.6 in October. In addition, we saw weekly
jobless claims move back over 400,000 for much of the months of September and
October.
The other key component to economic growth, and arguably the more important
driver for the technology sector, is capital expenditures by corporations.
During the months of September and October we also saw negative economic data
points in this area, as the Institute for Supply Management reported readings of
U.S. factory business that were below 50. A reading below 50 signals contraction
in manufacturing activity. Of course, the continuing uncertain geopolitical
environment certainly contributed to management decisions to restrict capacity
expansion.
These data abruptly ended the brief summer rally in the NASDAQ Composite on
August 22 and sent the index through the mid-summer lows of July before settling
at an October 9 closing low of 1114.11. This rapid sell-off took the NASDAQ down
over 21%. In addition to nervous investors who have suffered during this bear
market, we believe that financial institutions worldwide significantly
contributed to the sell-off, as they struggled to maintain required capital
levels.
We believe that the market sell-off, which reached a fevered pitch in September,
marked a capitulation bottom. Since the October market bottom, we have seen the
markets begin to respond more favorably to improving economic and company
specific data-points.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding charges, returned -41.28% compared to the Goldman Sachs
Technology Industry Composite Index, which returned -40.27% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Relative to the NASDAQ 100, the Portfolio slightly
underperformed for the year largely due to a semiconductor portfolio weighting
in excess of 35%. While the NASDAQ 100 posted a loss of 37.6%, the Portfolio
lost 41.3% for the year. During the early fall market sell-off, the higher beta
semiconductor stocks bore the brunt of the selling pressure. In contrast, the
semiconductor sector also soared over 35% from the October market bottom through
the end of the year. However, the semiconductor sector, as measured by the PHLX
Semiconductor Index, fell 44.6% for the total year.
Offsetting the weakness in the semiconductor sector was the Portfolio's
weighting in the software sector during the second half of the year. During the
second half of the year, the software sector, as measured by the GSTI Software
Index, declined just 7.7%. At the end of the year, the portfolio had a 21%
weighting in software.
As we move into 2003 we have not made any significant sector shifts within the
Portfolio. We enter the new-year with the Portfolio's largest weightings in the
semiconductor and software sectors. At this time, the Portfolio has a 38%
weighting in semiconductor and semiconductor equipment companies and a 20%
weighting in software. We believe that improvements in end-market demand coupled
with rising capacity utilization rates may contribute to a semiconductor
industry recovery in 2003. We are also seeing companies begin to implement new
software projects as they strive to remain competitive through the productivity
gains made possible by infrastructure and application software.
MARKET OUTLOOK: In response to the economic "soft spot" that was evident during
September and October, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") weighed in with a 50
basis-point rate reduction. Clearly, one of the Fed's greatest concerns at this
time is the potential of deflation. We therefore believe that we can expect a
favorable rate environment for some time to come. We also believe that the gains
made by the Republican Party during the recent mid-term elections may improve
the likelihood of further fiscal stimulus through the recently proposed tax-cut
and government spending programs. Although a portion of this stimulus will
likely be offset by increases in state and local taxes, we believe the net
effect should be further economic stimulus.
As we exited the economic soft spot referred to by the Fed in early November, we
have begun to see some favorable economic data that point toward renewed
expansion. At the end of November, third-quarter GDP was revised up to 4.0%, a
significant improvement from the second-quarter's 1.3%. We have also seen a
renewed surge in productivity gains in the third quarter. A 5.1% productivity
gain was posted, raising the prior year's total productivity gain to 5.6%, the
highest level in 29 years. This data-point may prove to be an important
ingredient in expanding the profitability of U.S. corporations, which should in
turn stimulate corporate expenditures. Finally, we are now beginning to see the
economic activity readings for the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors
reaccelerate.

MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In their latest report, the Institute for Supply Management showed the
manufacturing index improving to 54.7 in December from 49.2 in November. In the
non-manufacturing sector, December's index held above 50 with a 54.7 reading.
Once again, a reading over 50 is an indication of expansion.
The Portfolio continues to be populated with the large capitalization leaders of
the technology sector. Although the recent economic downturn has negatively
impacted the growth rates and profitability of many of the companies we invest
in, the negative impact has been far greater on their smaller competitors. As we
have highlighted in other recent communications, many of the leaders we invest
in have taken considerable market share during the downturn. For instance, in
their most recently reported quarter, Cisco Systems recorded $1.04 billion in
profits while their ten closest competitors lost a cumulative $2.4 billion.
Intel is another example of a technology leader that has taken the opportunity
during the economic downturn to put more distance between itself and its nearest
competitors. In the most recent quarter, Intel out-spent Advanced Micro Devices
in research and development, by almost a five to one margin. In terms of capital
expenditures, Intel out-spent AMD by an equally impressive six to one ratio.
We remain confident that the economic recovery remains intact and that the
technology sector leaders that comprise the Portfolio are well positioned to
take market share and expand profitability as capital spending continues toward
more normalized levels. In addition, we believe that the current valuation of
the market presents patient investors with a tremendous opportunity to invest in
one of the greatest growth sectors at a reasonable price.

ING VP VALUE OPPORTUNITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Donald E. Townswick, Portfolio Manager, Aeltus Investment
Management, Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP Value Opportunity Porftolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of
capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks
and securities convertible into common stock.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The US Equity markets were very weak throughout the first nine
months of 2002, driven primarily by downward pressure on corporate earnings
engendered by US economic weakness.
Through the first nine months in 2002, the S&P 500 was down 28.2%, the NASDAQ
was down 39.7%, and the Russell 2000 was down 25.1%. These returns represent one
of the worst nine-month periods for the U.S. equity markets in history. While
this represents a disturbing development in its face, the U.S. equity markets
still have excellent longer-term historical returns and, we believe the greatest
potential for return going forward as an investment option.
In fact, the U.S. equity markets may have found their legs during the fourth
quarter of 2002. During the quarter, the S&P 500 was up 8.4%, the NASDAQ was up
14.1%, and the Russell 2000 was up 6.2%. Speculative pressures were clearly
evident in this market turn, though, as stocks under $5 per share were the
stars. As a result, only 5% of large blend funds were able to outperform the S&P
500 in both the first nine months of 2002 and the last three months of 2002.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding any charges, returned -25.96% compared to the S&P 500, which
returned -22.10% over the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Portfolio weathered the market storm in the first nine
months of 2002 reasonably well. In a relative sense, the market rewarded quality
stocks (those with earnings, earnings growth, and established success) rather
than speculative stocks (those with no earnings, negative earnings growth, and
questionable futures) during the period. Since the Portfolio invests primarily
in quality stocks, with a secondary and small allocation to "broken growth"
stocks, the Portfolio benefited from its primary goal and was hurt a bit by its
secondary allocation.
Specifically, value was added by owning Lockheed Martin, a defense contractor
which is benefiting from increased defense spending. Owning shares of Circuit
City did not help though, as the company underperformed the market due to
growing weakness in the consumer electronics area. Virtually all excess return
during the period was added through stock selection, since all sector and
industry over/underweights were minimal.
The fourth quarter was very tough for the portfolio. As often happens at the
unpredictable point when a market begins to turn (either up or down),
fundamentals get thrown out the window. During the fourth quarter, the market
rewarded speculative stocks rather than quality stocks. We believe many of the
best 25 performers in the S&P 500 during the quarter (16 sold for less than
$5/share on 9/30/02) benefited from the lifting of a "bankruptcy discount" from
their share price, rather than any change in their fundamentals. The Portfolio
invests primarily in quality stocks, not speculative stocks, which contributed
to underperformance relative to the S&P 500 during the fourth quarter.
In specific, relative performance was hurt by owning quality healthcare stocks
(Humana, United Healthcare Group) which had performed well during the first nine
months of 2002, but underperformed during the speculative rally in the fourth
quarter. Positions in "broken growth" stocks such as QLogic and Cisco Systems
helped performance during the fourth quarter.
MARKET OUTLOOK: We believe that the market may be poised to have a good year in
2003. Low inflation, interest rates, and renewed economic growth should help to
buoy the markets to more appropriate valuation levels. In the short term,
though, uncertainty about war in Iraq may dampen investment enthusiasm, but we
believe the market will (in fact we believe it must) reward improved company
fundamentals in the medium-to long-term.

ING VP BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Mary Ann Fernandez, Aeltus Investment Management, Inc.
GOAL: The 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.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The S&P 500 posted a loss of 22.10% in 2002, its worst calendar
year performance since 1974. Concerns regarding the integrity of corporate
accounting, the strength of the U.S. economic rebound, and international
hostilities consistently weighed on the market all year. Bonds, on the other
hand, posted solid gains over the period with the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Index up 10.26%.
The year ended with an equity rally in the fourth quarter, which was sustained
by the Fed's surprise 50 basis point rate cut on November 6th. Evidencing a
significant change in investor sentiment, the equity rally occurred primarily in
sectors like telecommunication services and information technology which had
suffered the worst performance in the first nine months of the year.
Interest rates across the yield curve declined significantly over the
year -- overall making bonds the place to be in 2002.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding any charges, returned -10.31% compared to the Composite Index
(60% S&P 500 Index/40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index) which returned
- -16.37% over the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Overall, large cap and mid cap stocks performed well over
the one year period. Most of the performance in large cap stocks was driven by
positive security selection in the industrial, healthcare and information
technology sectors. Offsetting some of this performance was an overweight in
consumer discretionary stocks and adverse security selection in this sector. In
SMID cap stocks, security selection in the healthcare and financial sectors led
the way while adverse security selection in consumer discretionary and
industrial sectors detracted from performance. Our fixed income investments
underperformed the Lehman Aggregate. With rates declining over the period, a
short duration relative to the index detracted from performance. However,
duration exposures were rebalanced to neutral throughout November. Asset
allocation decisions positively impacted the Portfolio especially due to an
underweight to credit and an overweight in treasuries. Security selection in the
credit sector detracted from performance during the first half of the year but
was partially offset by positive security selection in the last quarter.
Positions in non-dollar securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations'
added to performance while our high yield positions had an overall adverse
impact on the portfolio.
MARKET OUTLOOK The cumulative losses of the recent 3-year bear market in U.S.
large cap equities has only been exceeded since 1926 by the four year bear
market from 1929 to 1932. The 1929-32 bear market was accompanied by a 50%
decline in nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and double-digit
unemployment -- neither of these traits occurs today. Each of the prior
multi-year bear markets in 1929 to 32, 1939 to 41, and 1973 to 74 were followed
by a period of abnormally high equity returns. Based on the historical
relationship between expected earnings and current interest rates, the U.S.
large cap market appears significantly undervalued now. While expected earnings
may not materialize and there is the ever-present risk of terrorism and war,
valuations and the length of the recent bear market suggest the outlook for U.S.
equity returns may be positive.
In 2003, the U.S. should continue to be the growth leader of the developed
economies. We expect GDP on a year over year basis to be in the 2.8-3% range,
with a gradual recovery. The U.S. continues to have very accommodative monetary
and fiscal policies and we expect inflation to remain tame. We think the Fed may
be reluctant to raise the Fed Funds rate prematurely, waiting for growth and
employment gains to be firmly established before raising rates.

ING VP GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Donald E. Townswick, Portfolio Manager, Aeltus Investment
Management, Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize
the total return through investment in a diversified portfolio consisting
primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock believed
to offer above-average growth potential.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The U.S. Equity markets were very weak throughout the first
nine months of 2002, driven down primarily by downward pressure on corporate
earnings engendered by U.S. economic weakness.
Through the first nine months in 2002, the S&P 500 was down 28.2%, the NASDAQ
was down 39.7%, and the Russell 2000 was down 25.1%. These returns represent one
of the worst nine-month periods for the U.S. equity markets in history. While
this represents a disturbing development, the U.S. equity markets still have
strong longer term historical returns and, we believe, the greatest potential
for return going forward as an investment option.
In fact, the U.S. equity markets may have found their legs during the fourth
quarter of 2002. During the quarter, the S&P 500 Index was up 8.4%, the NASDAQ
was up 14.1%, and the Russell 2000 was up 6.2%. Speculative pressures were
clearly evident in this market turn, though, as stocks under $5/sh were the
stars. As a result, only 5% of Large Blend Funds were able to outperform the S&P
500 in both the first nine months of 2002 and the last three months of 2002.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding any charges, returned -24.99% compared to the S&P 500 which
returned -22.10% over the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Portfolio weathered the market storm in the first nine
months of 2002 well. In a relative sense, the market rewarded quality stocks
(those with earnings, earnings growth, and established success) rather than
speculative stocks (those with no earnings, negative earnings growth, and
questionable futures) during the period.
Virtually all excess return during the period was added through stock selection,
since all sector and industry over/underweight were minimal. Specifically, the
Portfolio added value by owning Autozone, a retailer which benefits from an
increase in do-it-yourself auto mechanics, a hallmark of economic slowdowns.
Owning shares of TechData did not help, though, as the company underperformed
the market despite consistently positive earnings in the first nine months.
The fourth quarter was very tough for the Portfolio. As often happens at the
unpredictable point when a market begins to turn (either up or down),
fundamentals get thrown out the window. During the fourth quarter, the market
rewarded speculative stocks rather than quality stocks. We believe many of the
best 25 performers in the S&P 500 during the quarter (16 sold for less than
$5/share on 9/30/02) benefited from the lifting of a "bankruptcy discount" from
their share price, rather than any change in their fundamentals. The Portfolio
invests in quality stocks, not speculative stocks, which contributed to
underperformance relative to the S&P 500 during the fourth quarter.
In specific, performance was hurt by not owning Corning, Lucent, and Broadcom
during the quarter. In a dramatic illustration of the reversal between the first
nine months of 2002 and the last three, virtually nothing owned by the Portfolio
helped performance in the fourth quarter. Only a position in Pactiv added any
significant value during the period. Once again, virtually all excess return was
added thorough stock selection, and sector/industry weights played little to no
part in performance.
MARKET OUTLOOK: We believe that the market may be poised to have a good year in
2003. Low inflation, interest rates, and renewed economic growth should help to
buoy the markets to more appropriate valuation levels. In the short term,
though, uncertainty about war in Iraq may dampen investment enthusiasm, but we
believe the market will (in fact we believe it must) reward improved company
fundamentals in the medium-to long-term.

ING VP BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: James B. Kauffmann, Aeltus Investment Management, Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return
consistent with reasonable risk, through investments in a diversified portfolio
consisting of debt securities. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and
investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The year began with a Fed Funds target rate of 1.75% and a
market view that the Fed would raise rates by year-end. Expectations at the
beginning of the year were that the economy would recover by year-end led by a
tightening of historically wide corporate bond spreads. After a robust first
quarter of investment grade corporate issuance, supply dropped dramatically and
remained slow throughout the year.
Through third quarter, liquidity fears, accounting concerns, potential and
declared bankruptcies, downgrades, and disappointing earnings plagued the
markets. Worldcom, Quest, Tyco, Adelphia, Telus, Williams, and NRG, to name a
few in long lists of fallen angels, all contributed to the markets' volatility.
Sprint and Williams came to the brink of bankruptcy third quarter only to be
saved in the eleventh-hour as they were able to renegotiate their bank lines,
but at very unfavorable rates, and Household International narrowly escaped as
HSBC announced its intention to acquire the company. The airline industry
continued to struggle post September 11th with US Air and UAL declaring
bankruptcy. Finally, companies in the chemical, aerospace/defense,
wireless/wireline, utility, railroad, regional banks, and technology sectors all
missed their earning estimates and sighted poor expectations into early 2003.
In mid-October, the much awaited credit rally began and continued through
year-end turning what had been until then the worst year in history for credit.
The credit markets actually ended the year with +39 basis points of excess
return relative to like duration treasuries. Asset Backed Securities and
Collateralized Mortgage Backed Securities also had a positive year, as did
mortgages, which benefited from the low interest rate environment.
Clearly an expansionary fiscal policy, an accommodative monetary policy, a
weaker dollar, and a spendthrift consumer kept the U.S. out of a double-dip
recession, but these traditional sources of stimulus failed to break the
domestic economy out of its slow growth rut. The rally in the stock market was a
welcome relief, but the collapse in capital spending, and increasing joblessness
has hindered the economy. While the home mortgage refinancing wave and tax cuts
enabled the consumer to spend, the decline of state tax revenues, and corporate
de-levering took their toll. 2002 GDP is likely to come in between 2.5 and 3.0%
Finally, following a calamitous year of asset deflation both in equities and
corporate debt, the Federal Reserve signaled, at its November meeting, that
inflation is not their major concern, just yet, and surprised the markets by
easing the Fed Funds rate another 50 basis points.
PERFORMANCE: For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Portfolio's Class R
shares, excluding any charges, returned 8.33% compared to Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 10.25% over the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Portfolio's underperformance can be attributed
primarily to sector and issuer selection and duration decisions made in the
first 10 months of the year. On October 1, 2002, the fixed income team lead by
James Kauffmann assumed responsibility for the management of the Portfolio.
Since that time, the managers have been repositioning the Portfolio and aligning
it to reflect current investment strategy for Portfolios with similar mandates.
This resulted in very strong performance in the fourth quarter as the
Portfolio's allocation to credit was increased and duration extended in time to
capture the rally in credit and benefit from the Fed's 50 basis point ease in
rates.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Our central scenario (for 2003) calls for the Fed and The Bush
administration to be ultimately successful in their attempts to stimulate the
economy. The Fed continues to inject massive amounts of liquidity into an
economy and banking system that has already begun to expand credit.
Additionally, unlike the past decade or so when the Central Bank relied
exclusively on monetary policy, The Fed has decided that additional policy
levers are acceptable in our nation's effort to ward off a double-dip recession
and deflation. We see evidence of this in the budget deficits, not to mention
President Bush's recent $670 billion 10-year stimulus plan, and the recent
changes in the White House administration that will likely lead to a weaker
dollar. The degree of the monetary, fiscal, dollar and tax stimuli is truly
staggering and every bit as extensive as Reagan's 1982-stimulus package. Even
though we look for economic growth to improve to 2.5-3.0% in 2003, it may be
subdued in the first half of the year, as the economy still needs to work off
excess capacity, reduce high debt levels and increase savings.
Given this scenario, the Portfolio will continue to overweight credit and will
look to increase exposure to the wireline telecom and insurance sectors as
business fundamentals are improving after a very difficult 2002.
Prepayment activity in the mortgage market continued to be heavy in the fourth
quarter, and will likely carry forward for several months. The cost of principal
paydowns at current rate levels is high tempering returns in the mortgage
market. As a result, the managers will look for cheap prepayment protections,
which include

low loan balance securities and mortgage product in geographical areas where
there is less opportunity or incentive to refinance -- for example, Georgia and
New York where refinancing is taxed. The managers are also aware of the
potential extension risk in the mortgage market given the current generational
lows in rates. During the quarter, the Portfolio's mortgage allocation was
reduced to neutral.
The Portfolio's duration will remain neutral for the near term as there has yet
to be any compelling evidence that would cause the Fed to change their interest
rate policy.

Based upon a $10,000 initial investment, the table and graph above illustrate
the total return of ING VP Bond Portfolio against the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index. The Index has an inherent performance advantage over the Portfolio
since it 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 or life
insurance policy. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or
charges were included.
Performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a
shareholder will pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio
shares.

ING VP MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO
MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Jennifer J. Thompson, CFA, Aeltus Investment Management,
Inc.
GOAL: The ING VP Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to provide
investors with a high current return, consistent with the preservation of
capital and liquidity.
MARKET OVERVIEW: We began 2002 with a Fed Funds target rate of 1.75% and a
market view that the Federal Reserve Board's Federal Open Market Committee (the
"FOMC" or the "Fed") would lower rates once more on January 30th at its meeting.
However, views changed during the month and the Fed left rates alone. By the
Fed's mid-March meeting, economic numbers began to appear stronger than
anticipated and market participants fully changed their views to expectations of
increases in the Fed Funds rate and economic recovery by the second half of
2002. As the second quarter came and went however, expectations changed yet
again.
Market concerns surrounding corporate governance and accounting issues that
began in the second quarter continued into the third quarter of 2002. By the
fourth quarter, rising unemployment, weak business investment and consumer
demand as well as uncertainty associated with Iraq and North Korea continued to
hinder the long-awaited "economic recovery."
The Fed responded to the economic weakness by lowering its Fed Funds target rate
by 50 basis points to 1.25% on November 6th. This was the first and only move of
the Fed Funds rate in 2002. The surprise 50 basis point ease was characterized
as an insurance policy by Chairman Greenspan against additional economic
weakness and was done to get the economy through its current "soft spot." By
characterizing the risks to the economy as balanced, the Fed attempted to signal
its intention to avoid further rate cuts.
The London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) yield curve from one to twelve months
showed significant volatility as market expectations changed throughout the
year. While short LIBOR rates remained relatively stable prior to the Fed ease,
one-year LIBOR fluctuated from 2.44% on December 31, 2001 to a high of 3.08% in
March and ended at a low of 1.44% in December 2002.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: A consistent overweighting in asset-backed securities and a
strong weighting of floating rate instruments contributed positively to
performance. For the last quarter, the Portfolio's average maturity was
significantly longer than competitors, which also helped returns.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Economic uncertainty emanating from a potential war with Iraq
results in a strong bid to the market (lower rates). Most market participants
believe the Fed will keep rates unchanged until the second half of 2003 at the
earliest. With a flat yield curve, purchases may be kept short until rates
back-up significantly to merit the purchase of longer maturity paper. The
Portfolio's average maturity will likely remain in-line generally with the
benchmark.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2002

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
Organization. The ING Variable Product Portfolios are comprised of ING Variable
Portfolios, Inc., ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Variable Funds, ING
Income Shares and ING VP Money Market Fund, all of which are open-end investment
management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
The ING Variable Portfolios, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of
Maryland on June 4, 1996 and has eight separate portfolios. The five portfolios
that are in this report are: ING VP International Equity Portfolio
("International"), ING VP Growth Portfolio ("Growth"), ING VP Small Company
Portfolio ("Small Company"), ING VP Technology Portfolio ("Technology"), and ING
VP Value Opportunity Portfolio ("Value Opportunity"). ING VP Balanced Portfolio,
Inc. ("Balanced") is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on
December 14, 1988. ING Variable Funds is a company incorporated under the laws
of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Growth and
Income Portfolio ("Growth and Income"). ING Income Shares is a company
incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one
portfolio, ING VP Bond Portfolio ("Bond"). ING VP Money Market Fund is a company
incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one
portfolio, ING VP Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market").
Each Portfolio offers class R shares. International, Growth, Small Company,
Technology, Value Opportunity and Bond also offer class S shares. The two
classes differ principally in applicable shareholder 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 from
the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class,
without discrimination between share classes. Dividends are determined
separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class.
Realized gains are allocated to each class pro rata based on the net assets of
each class on the date of distribution. No class has preferential dividend
rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the
relative weighting of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from
differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, and shareholder
servicing fees.
International Equity Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital through
investment in equity equivalents of companies outside the United States.
Growth Portfolio seeks growth of capital through investment in a diversified
portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into
common stocks believed to offer growth potential.
Small Company Portfolio seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in
a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common
stocks of companies with smaller market capitalization corresponding to the
Russell 2000 Index.
Technology Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least
80% of its assets in common stocks and securities convertible into common stock
of companies in the information technology industry sector.
Value Opportunity Portfolio seeks growth of capital primarily through investment
in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into
common stock.
Balanced 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.
Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to maximize total return through investment in
a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks and securities
convertible into common stock believed to offer above-average growth potential.
Bond Portfolio seeks to provide as high a level of total return as is consistent
with reasonable risk, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of
investment-grade corporate bonds, and debt securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide high current return, consistent with
preservation of capital and liquidity through investment in high quality money
market instruments.
On December 13, 2000, Aetna Inc. (Aetna), the indirect parent company of Aeltus
Investment Management, Inc. (Aeltus), the investment adviser to the Portfolios,
and Aeltus Capital, Inc. (ACI), each Portfolio's principal underwriter, sold
certain of its financial services and international businesses, including Aeltus
and ACI, to ING Groep N.V. (ING). ING is a global financial institution active
in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management in more than 65
countries.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements, and such policies
are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for investment companies.
39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2002 (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Security Valuation. Investments in equity securities
traded on a national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ
National Market System are valued at the last reported sale price.
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 bid prices obtained from independent services or
from one or more dealers making markets in the securities. U.S. Government
obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing
services which use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market
values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with
similar characteristics. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined
in good faith and in accordance with policies set by the Board of
Directors. Investments in securities maturing in less than 60 days from
the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined
with accrued interest, 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 delivered. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis
except when collection is not expected. 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 statement 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 and maturities of short-term
securities, 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 the 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 re-evaluation 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. The Portfolios either enter into these transactions on a
spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange
market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell
foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or
losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering
into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to
meet the terms of their forward contracts and from 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 may enter into futures contracts involving foreign
currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices, for hedging
purposes only. A
40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2002 (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Dividends from net
investment income and capital gains, if any, are declared and paid
annually by the International, Growth, Small Company, Technology, Value
Opportunity, Balanced and Money Market Portfolios; and declared and paid
semi-annually by Bond and Growth and Income Portfolios.
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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These "book/tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. Key differences are
the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions,
and other temporary differences. To the extent that these differences are
permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital
accounts, presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on
their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassifications. Distributions which exceed net investment income and
net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for
tax purposes, are reported as distributions in excess of net investment
income and/or net realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net
investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they
are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the
Portfolios, to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
that are 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, a federal income tax or
excise tax provision is not required. The Board of Directors intends to
offset any net capital gains with any available capital loss carryforward
until each carryforward has been fully utilized or expires.
G. Use of Estimates. Management of the Portfolios has
made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of
assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Actual results could differ from these
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 or with
member banks 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 always receive as collateral
securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100%
of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued
interest, being 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. If the seller
defaults, a Portfolio might incur a loss or delay in the realization of
proceeds if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement
declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the
collateral.
I. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio had the option to
temporarily loan up to 33 1/3% 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,
letters of credit or U.S. Government securities.
J. Illiquid and Restricted 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. Restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the
Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act) or are securities offered pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and are subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale and may
41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2002 (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Each
Portfolio, except for Money Market, may invest up to 15% of its net assets
in illiquid securities. Restricted securities are valued using market
quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations,
the illiquid and restricted securities are valued based upon their fair
value determined under procedures approved by the Board. The Portfolios
will not pay the costs of disposition of restricted securities other than
ordinary brokerage fees, if any.
K. Delayed Delivery Transactions. Balanced, Growth
and Income, and Bond Portfolios 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 Portfolios' 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. In connection
with a portfolio's ability to purchase or sell securities on a when-issued
basis, Balanced, Growth and Income, and Bond 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 repurchased will bear
the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized
by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories.
M. Options Contracts. Balanced, Growth and Income,
and Bond 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. 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 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. Swap Contracts. The Balanced and Bond Portfolios
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 by
marking-to-market the value of the swap. For each swap contract, a capital
gain or loss is recognized on each contract's respective payment date.

NOTE 5 -- DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class S shares of the Portfolios have adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plans"), whereby ING Funds Distributor, LLC (the
"Distributor") is reimbursed or 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 reimburse or compensate 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

NOTE 8 -- LINE OF CREDIT
All of the Portfolios included in this report, in addition to certain other
funds managed by the 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 $200,000,000. 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. At December 31, 2002, the Portfolios did not have any loans
outstanding under the line of credit.

NOTE 10 -- FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net
realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable
as ordinary income to shareholders. The tax composition of dividends and
distributions to shareholders were as follow:
<Table>
<Caption>

-----------
International Equity $ 93,596
Growth --
Small Company 1,576,918

Balanced 14,989,364
Growth and Income 38,495,841
Bond 43,174,280
Money Market 57,317,722
</Table>
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 generally accepted accounting principles. These book/tax
differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. Key
differences are the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency
transactions, organization costs and other temporary differences. To the extent
that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified
within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment;
temporary differences do not require reclassifications. To the extent
distributions exceed net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for
tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
Accordingly, the following amounts represent current year permanent tax
differences that have been reclassified as of December 31, 2002.
