The ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust (ARSN 122 928 410) is an Australian registered scheme. ING Management Limited, the Responsible Entity of the Trust, is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
A description of the nature of the Trust's operations and its principal activities is included in the accompanying directors' report.
The registered office and principal place of business of the Responsible Entity is located at level 6, 345 George Street, Sydney, New South Wales.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors of the Responsible Entity on 19 September 2007. The Trust has the power to amend and reissue the financial report.
The ING Real Estate Community Living Group ("the Group") was formed on 11 January 2007 by the stapling of the units in two property trusts, ING Real Estate Community Living Fund and ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust (collectively the "Trusts"). The Responsible Entity for both Trusts is ING Management Limited, which now presents its report together with the Trusts' financial report for the year ended 30 June 2007 and the auditor's report thereon.
In accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002 Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements, the stapling arrangement discussed above is regarded as a business combination and ING Real Estate Community Living Fund has been identified as the parent for preparing consolidated financial reports. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements of the ING Real Estate Community Living Fund present the combined financial results of both Trusts.
The directors' report is a combined directors' report that covers both Trusts. The financial information given for the ING Real Estate Community Living Group is taken from the consolidated financial statements and notes of the ING Real Estate Community Living Fund.
Directors
The directors of the Responsible Entity at any time during or since the end of the financial year were:
| Richard Colless AM David Blight |
Chairman |
|---|---|
| Philip Clark AM | |
| Michael Easson AM | |
| Phillip Redmond | Appointed 17 August 2006 |
| Paul Scully | |
| Hugh Thomson | Alternate director for David Blight |
| Adrian Astridge | Alternate director for David Blight |
Except as noted, these persons were directors of the Responsible Entity during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the ING Real Estate Community Living Fund is investment in real estate. The principal activities of the ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust are the development, management and operation of the Fund's real estate assets. There was no significant change in the nature of either Trust's activities during the financial year.
Review and results of operations
A summary of the Trusts' results for the financial year is:

The Responsible Entity uses the Trusts' distributable income as a quide to the level of distributions to be paid to unitholders. Distributable income does not take into account certain items recognised in the income statement including unrealised gains or losses on the revaluation of the Group's properties and derivative financial instruments.
Distributable income for the financial year has been calculated as follows:

Distributable income for the Trusts for the 2007 financial year increased by 112% to \$34,358,000 from \$16,232,000 for the 2006 financial year. Distributable income per stapled unit was up 9.2% to 10.7 cents, compared to 9.8 cents per unit previously. The increase is due mainly to net property income derived from investment properties and associates acquired during the 2006 financial year.
The Group has delivered distribution growth of 9.4% with distributions per stapled unit of 10.70 cents for the financial year, compared with 9.78 cents in 2006.
Earnings per stapled unit of the Trusts as calculated under accounting standards for the year ended 30 June 2007 were up 11.6% to 27.0 cents, compared to 24.2 cents per stapled unit for the previous financial year.
Total assets increased by \$361,286,000 or 65.7% to \$911,427,000 over the year primarily due to acquisitions in the US seniors, US students and Australian seniors portfolios. Asset revaluation increases and acquisitions contributed \$62,068,000 and \$338,352,000 respectively to the increase. The basis of the valuations is described in note 1 in the financial report.
Revaluations during the 2007 financial year added \$62,068,000 (including share of associates' revaluations), increasing net asset value per stapled unit by 8.0% to \$1.22.
A total of \$163,276,000 of new equity (after costs) was raised by the Trusts during the year. As a result, issued units increased by 125,894,000 to 430,267,000.
Distributions
Details of distributions are given in note 3 in the financial report.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
The Group was formed on 11 January 2007 by the stapling of the units in the Trusts. ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust was constituted on 24 November 2006.
The stapling was effected by a distribution of capital of \$2,500,000 from ING Real Estate Community Living Fund made on 11 January 2007 that was applied in subscription for units in ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust.
In the opinion of the directors of the Responsible Entity, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of either Trust that occurred during the financial year.
Events subsequent to reporting date
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any matter or circumstance that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Trusts, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Trusts, in future financial years.
Likely developments
The Responsible Entity will continue to actively manage the existing portfolio. New acquisitions, including overseas acquisitions, will be considered on the relative value they may add to the Trusts. Where appropriate the Trusts may raise additional capital to fund new acquisitions. The Responsible Entity will continue to review the property portfolio and dispose of non-core assets.
Environmental regulation
The Trusts' operations are not subject to any particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.
Indemnities
The Trusts have not indemnified, nor paid any insurance premiums for, a person who is or has been an officer of the Responsible Entity or an auditor of the Trusts.

ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust Period ended 30 June 2007
$1.$ Summary of significant accounting policies
$(a)$ The Trust
The ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust ("the Trust" or "Parent") was constituted on 24 November 2006. The Responsible Entity for the Trust is ING Management Limited. ING Management Limited is an Australian domiciled company and is a wholly owned company within the ING Groep NV group of companies.
The ING Real Estate Community Living Group was formed on 11 January 2007 by the stapling of the units in the Trust with those of ING Real Estate Community Living Fund.
$(b)$ Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ("AASB"), Australian Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the "Board") and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of the Trust comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The Parent's financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS, except that it has elected to apply the relief provided to parent entities in respect of certain disclosure requirements contained in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosure.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment properties and derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.
Principles of consolidation $(c)$
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Parent and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2007 (the "Trust"). Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) whose financial and operating policies the Trust has the power to govern, which generally accompanies a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line dissimilar accounting policies. Inter-company balances and transactions including unrealised profits have been eliminated.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Minority interests represent the interests in subsidiaries not held by the Trust.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the Parent's financial statements.
Distribution policy $(d)$
Distributions are paid to unitholders each quarter out of distributable income, which includes realised income available for distribution and transfers from equity. A provision for distribution for any distribution declared on or before the end of the reporting period is recognised on the balance sheet in the reporting period to which the distribution pertains.
$1.$ Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Investment property $(e)$
Land and buildings have the function of an investment and are regarded as composite assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the buildings, including plant & equipment, are not depreciated.
It is the Trust's policy to have all investment properties externally valued at intervals of not more than three years and that such valuation be reflected in the financial reports of the Trust. It is the policy of the Responsible Entity to review the fair value of each investment property every six months and to cause investment properties to be revalued to fair values whenever their carrying value in aggregate differs materially to their fair values.
In determining fair values, expected net cash flows are discounted to their present value using a market determined risk adjusted discount rate. The assessment of fair value of investment properties does not take into account potential capital gains tax assessable. Changes in the fair value of an investment property are recorded in the income statement.
The expected net cash flows of retirement villages include deferred management fees receivable and the receipt and repayment of residents' incoming contributions.
All property interests held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property.
$(f)$ Property under construction
Property under construction is carried at historical cost. Cost includes the cost of acquisition and additions and, during development, includes financing charges, related professional fees incurred and other directly attributable costs.
Property under construction is transferred to investment property on completion of the construction. Any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
$(g)$ Leases
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the term of the lease on the same basis as the lease income. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Incentives maybe provided to tenants to enter into an operating lease. These incentives may be in the form of cash, rent free periods, lessee or lessor owned fit outs. The incentive is amortised over the term of the lease as a reduction in rental income. The unamortised carrying amount of the incentive is reflected in the carrying value of the investment property.
Leasing fees that are directly associated with the negotiation and execution of a lease agreement (including commissions, legal fees and costs of preparing and processing documentation) are capitalised as part of the carrying value of the property and amortised over the lease term.
Leasing fees in relation to the initial leasing of the investment property after a redevelopment are capitalised to the carrying value of the property as a cost of bringing the investment property to completion and intended use.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
$(h)$ Foreign currency
$(i)$ Functional and presentation currencies
The functional currency and presentation currency of the Trust (with the exception of its foreign subsidiaries) is the Australian dollar.
$(ii)$ Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance date. All differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to the income statement with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment at which time they are recognised in the income statement.
A non-monetary item that is measured at fair value in a foreign currency is translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
$(i)$ Revenue
Revenue from rents, interest and distributions is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue brought to account but not received at balance date is recognised as a receivable.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the financial year that they are earned. Fixed rental increases that do not represent direct compensation for underlying cost increases or capital expenditures are recognised on a straight-line basis until the next market review date.
Reflecting this accounting policy, deferred management fee income is calculated as the expected fee to be earned on a resident's ingoing loan, allocated pro-rata over the resident's expected tenure. together with any share of capital appreciation that has occurred at reporting date.
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.
$(i)$ Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period's taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
$(k)$ Earnings per unit
Basic earnings per unit is calculated as net profit attributable to unitholders of the Trust divided by the weighted average number of issued units. As there are no potentially dilutive units on issue, diluted earnings per unit is the same as basic earnings per unit.
$\mathbf 1$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Derivative financial instruments $(1)$
The Trust may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. The Trust may also invest in derivatives related to listed property equities and indices and may issue derivatives related to its own units. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value and recognised as an asset or liability in the balance sheet.
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market values of similar instruments. The fair value of derivatives related to listed property equities and indices (including those related to the Trust's own units) is calculated by reference to the market value of the underlying equities or indices.
For hedge accounting, hedges are classified as a fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; cash flow hedges where they hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable either to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or to a forecast transaction; or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
Any gain or loss arising from measuring fair value hedges that meet the conditions for hedge accounting is recognised in the income statement. Any gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is adjusted against the carrying amount of the relevant financial instrument.
Any gain or loss arising on cash flow hedges which hedge firm commitments and which qualify for hedge accounting are recognised directly in equity.
For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires, is sold, exercised, terminated or no longer deemed effective. Any cumulative gains or losses relating to the hedge that were previously recognised in equity are transferred to the Income Statement.
$(m)$ Business combinations
Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Trust's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is not amortised.
Goodwill generally arises as a result of the recognition of deferred taxes based on the difference Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of units ("CGU") to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a CGU and an operation within that CGU is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
$(n)$ Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and short-term deposits are stated at their nominal values.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily convertible to cash, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
$\mathbf{1}$ . Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Trade and other receivables $(0)$
Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. Receivables from related parties are initially recognised at original invoice amount and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Pavables $(p)$
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Trust. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition.
Retirement village residents' loans $(q)$
These loans, which are repayable on the departure of the resident, are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the income statement. The fair value of the obligation is measured as the ingoing contribution plus the resident's share of capital appreciation to reporting date. Although the expected average residency term is around eleven years, these obligations are classified as current liabilities, as required by Accounting Standards, because the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement to more than twelve months after reporting date.
This liability is stated net of deferred management fee accrued to reporting date, because the Group's contracts with residents require net settlement of those obligations.
$(r)$ Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration received net of issue and other transaction costs associated with the borrowings. After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under this method fees, costs, discounts and premiums directly relating to the financial liability are amortised over its expected life.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. When this is the case, they are capitalised as part of the acquisition cost of that asset.
Financial assets and liabilities $(s)$
Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities are classified as fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; held-to-maturity investments; or as available-for-sale. The Trust determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition and these are subsequently held at fair value or amortised cost. Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recorded directly in equity. Changes in fair values of financial assets and liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the income statement.
Issued units $(t)$
Issued and paid up units are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Trust. Any transaction costs arising on issue of ordinary units are recognised directly in unitholders' interest as a reduction of the units proceeds received.
Goods and services tax ("GST") $(u)$
Revenue, expenses and assets (with the exception of receivables) are recognised net of the amount of GST to the extent that the GST is recoverable from the taxation authority. Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition, or as an expense.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the tax authority is included in the balance sheet as an asset or liability.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from or payable to the tax authorities, is classified as an operating cash flow.
Pending Accounting Standards $(v)$
Accounting Standards AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and AASB 2006-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. In addition, AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The Trust has not adopted these standards early. Application of the standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will affect the type of information disclosed.
Other new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current reporting period. These are not expected to have any material impact on the Trust's financial report in future reporting periods.
(w) Financial year and comparative data
The 2007 financial statements cover the period from formation on 24 November 2006 to 30 June 2007. There is no comparative data.
$2.$ Accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Responsible Entity to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trust's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
$(a)$ Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Trust makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by definition, will seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
At 30 June 2007, the Trust had investment properties with a carrying amount of \$111,991,000. representing estimated fair value. These carrying amounts reflect certain assumptions about expected future rentals, rent-free periods, operating costs and appropriate discount and capitalisation rates. In forming these assumptions, the Responsible Entity considered information about current and recent sales activity, current market rents, and discount and capitalisation rates, for properties similar to those owned by the Trust, as well as independent valuations of the Trust's property.
$(b)$ Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies
There were no judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies that had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial report.

$14.$ Financial instruments
The Trust's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including interest rate risk and credit risk.

The other financial instruments of the Trust that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
$(b)$ Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations under the relevant contract or arrangement. The Trust's maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial instrument is their carrying amount as reported in the balance sheet. The Trust minimises credit risk by undertaking transactions with counterparties of sound credit quality.
