ING Real Estate Community Living Group Directors’ report Year ended 30 June 2007

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.

Richard Colless AM Chairman
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.

The Responsible Entity uses the Trusts’ distributable income as a guide 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:

Net profit for year
Adjusted for:
Lease revenue received from property under
construction
Gain on revaluation of newly constructed
retirement villages
(Gain)/loss on change in fair value of:
Investment properties
Derivatives
Gain on change in fair value of investment
properties included in share of associates' net
profit
Borrowing costs amortisation returned
Net foreign exchange loss

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.

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Directors’ report Year ended 30 June 2007

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

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) The Group

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”). ING Real Estate Community Living Fund and ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust were constituted on 22 November 2003 and 24 November 2006, respectively.

The Responsible Entity for both Trusts 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 two Trusts have common business objectives and operate as an economic entity collectively known as ING Real Estate Community Living Group.

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.

The constitutions of the Trusts ensure that, for as long as the Trusts remain jointly quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange, the number of units in each trust shall remain equal and that unitholders in each trust shall be identical.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first to occur of:

(a) either of the Trusts resolving by special resolution in accordance with its constitution to terminate the stapling provisions; or

(b) the commencement of the winding up of either of the Trusts.

(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.

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 (the “Parent” or “Parent Entity”) has been identified as the parent for preparing consolidated financial reports. The consolidated financial statements present the combined financial results of both Trusts.

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 Group 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.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Parent and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2007 (the “Group”). Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) whose financial and operating policies the Group has the power to govern, which generally accompanies a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights.

Subsidiaries have been consolidated for the same reporting period as the Parent, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line dissimilar accounting policies. Intercompany 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 interest in ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust held

by unitholders.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the Parent’s financial statements. For details of a change in accounting policy on this topic, please refer to note 1(x).

(d) Distribution policy

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.

(e) Investment property

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 Group’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 Group. 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.

Page 12

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

(h) Foreign currency

(i) Functional and presentation currencies

The functional currency and presentation currency of the Group (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.

(iii) Translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is not the Australian dollar. At reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the rate of exchange prevailing at balance date. Financial performance is translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that foreign operation is recognised in the income statement.

(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.

Page 13

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue derived from a property undergoing construction or development, which directly relates to bringing the asset to the location and working condition of an investment property, is recognised as a reduction in the purchase price of that asset. If the revenue is not directly related to bringing the asset to the location and working condition of an investment property, it is recognised in the income statement as it is earned.

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

(j) Income tax

(i) Current income tax

Under the current tax legislation, the Parent and its subsidiaries are not liable to pay Australian income tax provided that its taxable income (including any assessable capital gains) is fully distributed to unitholders each year. Tax allowances for building and fixtures depreciation are distributed to unitholders in the form of the tax deferred component of distributions.

However, ING Real Estate Community Living Management Trust is subject to Australian income tax.

The subsidiaries that hold foreign properties may be subject to corporate income tax and withholding tax in the countries in which they operate. Under current Australian income tax legislation, unitholders of the Parent may be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for these taxes.

(ii) Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax represents tax (including foreign withholding tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable entities on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised through continuing use or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Income taxes related to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not against income.

(k) Earnings per unit

Basic earnings per unit is calculated as net profit attributable to unitholders of the Group 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.

(l) Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses 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 Group 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 Group’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.

Page 14

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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 Group’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.

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.

(o) Trade and other receivables

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.

(p) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. The share of the associates’ net profit is recognised in the consolidated income statement and the share of the movement in reserves is recognised in reserves in the consolidated balance sheet. The accumulation of post-acquisition movements in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate is adjusted against the carrying value of the investment. Distributions from associates are recognised in the Parent’s income statement and reduce the carrying value of the investment in the consolidated financial statements.

Page 15

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Investments in associates are accounted for in the Parent’s financial statements using the cost method.

(q) Payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition.

(r) Retirement village residents’ loans

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.

(s) 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.

(t) Financial assets and liabilities

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 Group 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.

The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is calculated by reference to quoted market prices.

(u) Issued units

Issued and paid up units are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on issue of ordinary units are recognised directly in unitholders’ interest as a reduction of the units proceeds received.

(v) Goods and services tax (“GST”)

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.

Page 16

ING Real Estate Community Living Group Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 June 2007

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.

(w) Pending Accounting Standards

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 Group 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 Group’s financial report in future reporting periods.

(x) Change in accounting policy

Up until 1 July 2006, investments in subsidiaries in the Parent’s financial statements were accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets. They were carried at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value taken to unrealised gains reserve. From that date, these investments are accounted for at cost in the Parent’s financial statements. Distributions received are taken to the income statement. This voluntary change in accounting policy produces more reliable and relevant information.

This change has been accounted for retrospectively, with the comparative amounts disclosed for the 2006 financial year presented as if the new accounting policy had always been applied. There was no effect on total equity as at 1 July 2005. The effects of the change were:

Reduction in movement in unrealised gains reserve
Reduction in closing balance of unrealised gains reserve as at 30 June 2006
Reduction in carrying amount of investment in subsidiaries as at 30 June 2006

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 Group’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 Group 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.

The Group had investment properties with a carrying amount of $491,785,000 (2006: $271,647,000), representing estimated fair value. In addition, the carrying amount of the Group’s investment in associates of $321,182,000 (2006: $172,042,000) also reflects investment properties carried at 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 Group, as well as independent valuations of the Group’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.

  • (1) Although the Group has the economic interest shown, it does not hold a controlling interest in the voting rights of these entities. Consequently, the Responsible Entity has determined that the Group’s ownership interest does not give the Group the capacity to control these entities but rather the power to exercise significant influence.

  • (2) Notwithstanding that the group’s interest in this company is less than 20%, the Responsible Entity concluded that the Group has significant influence because the Group has board representation and because it provides a significant proportion of the properties managed by the company.

(a) Change in accounting policy

Under the accounting policies that applied before 1 July 2005, the fair values of derivative financial instruments were not recognised. Under present accounting policies, these instruments are included in the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. The effect of this change was recognised in retained profits at 1 July 2005.

18. Commitments

Commitments for capital expenditure on investment property contracted but not provided for at reporting date amounted to $30,408,000, $21,403,000 payable within one year and $9,005,000 payable between one and two years.

19. Financial instruments

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge these risk exposures.

(a) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk arises from the value of investment properties located offshore and from the future income flows derived from these properties. The Group’s policy is to hedge up to 100% of the value of these properties using borrowings denominated in local currency. In addition, up to 100% of the forecast future income flows for up to six years are hedged using forward foreign exchange contracts.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to its borrowings. The Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt and using interest rate swaps.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations under the relevant contract or arrangement. The Group’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 Group minimises credit risk by undertaking transactions with counterparties of sound credit quality.

A significant concentration of credit risk arises in relation to derivative financial instruments. The counterparty maintains a high investment grade rating.

Independent auditor’s report to the unitholders of ING Real Estate Community Living Fund

We have audited the accompanying financial report of ING Real Estate Community Living Fund (the Fund) which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2007, and the income statement, statement of changes in unitholders interest and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity (the Group). The consolidated entity comprises of ING Real Estate Community Living Fund and the entities it controlled, at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of ING Management Limited as Responsible Entity of the Fund are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1 (b), the directors also state that the financial report, comprising the consolidated financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

We have given to the directors of the Responsible Entity a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report. In addition to our audit of the financial report, we were engaged to undertake the services disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
