ASX Announcement ING Real Estate Community Living Group (“ILF”)

31 August 2007

Another Year of Strong Performance for ILF

ING Real Estate Community Living Group today announced its results for the year ended 30 June 2007.

The Fund has delivered another year of strong financial performance and superior returns to investors. Underpinning the performance is a 9.4% increase in distributions per unit from 9.78 cents in June 2006 to 10.7 cents per unit.

Commenting on the results, Mr Ian Muir, ING Real Estate Community Living Group CEO, said, “It has been a year of diversification and growth for ILF and we are well positioned to further enhance returns and deliver another strong performance in 2008”.

“The Fund’s joint venture partnerships will continue to focus on extracting operational synergies, managing the development of existing sites and extending the development pipeline via selective acquisition of new sites in key growth areas. ILF has accumulated 2,896 pipeline units within the existing portfolio and will convert a portion of this pipeline into new homes in 2008. It is an exciting phase for the Fund, as we move forward with this strategy.”

Highlights of the year included:

  • 9.4% increase in distributions per unit

  • 17% increase in unit price to $1.345

  • 27% total return to investors

Portfolio Performance

  • Australian seniors portfolio bolstered by acquisition of Settlers portfolio and several development sites in conjunction with joint venture partners, Country Club and Oak Tree Group.

  • Canadian seniors, Regency portfolio settled on 29 June 2007. ILF purchased a 50% interest in this portfolio. High occupancies of 99.7% coupled with growing demand underpin the value of this acquisition for the Fund.

ING Real Estate Community Living Group (“ILF”)

31 August 2007

  • US seniors out-performed expectations, driven predominantly by operational cost savings and higher operating margins. Overall occupancy is currently 94.5%, in excess of the industry median of 92.9%.

  • Students portfolio has seen strong rental increases in the assets located closest to the university campuses, however operating expenses have also increased. Leasing for new academic year is on track.

Acquisitions

  • First foray into the Canadian Seniors market with the acquisition of eight A class Long Term Care facilities in the greater Toronto area of Ontario, Canada

Outlook and Strategy

“Consolidation opportunities across the seniors housing industry in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US continue to offer attractive investment prospects”, said Mr Muir. “The US will remain a significant part of the Fund’s offshore strategy due to the size of its population and quality assets however, the Fund will continue to seek opportunities in other markets.”

“The ageing demographics in Australia and Canada provide considerable opportunities for the Fund, where increased demand for quality seniors housing communities is expected to continue over the long term. The Fund is well positioned to meet this growing demand.”
