Notes to the financial statements<br />

Money market instruments and other short-term securities are valued using the straight-line amortization method provided these instruments<br />

or securities have an initial or residual maturity at the time of their purchase by the Company of less than 12 months and if it appears that the<br />

last known price on the main market for the security in question cannot be considered as representative of the price of that security. These<br />

instruments and securities are shown at acquisition cost in the securities portfolio, accrued interest calculated through the straight-line<br />

amortization method being included in the item "Other assets" in the statement of net assets and in the item "Interest on bonds and other<br />

debt instruments" in the statement of operations and changes in net assets.<br />

<strong>Investment</strong>s in open-ended investment funds, either listed or not, are valued on the basis of their last available net asset value per share.<br />

Financial derivative instruments valuation<br />

Financial derivative instruments listed on a regulated market are valued at the last available published price applicable at the closing date.<br />

Financial derivative instruments not listed on a regulated market are valued by means of an actuarial method recognized in the market.<br />

More specifically, swaps are valued under the responsibility of the Board of Directors at their fair value, which depends on several<br />

parameters (level and volatility of the index, market interest rate, remaining life of the swap).<br />

Positive fair values of financial derivative instruments are disclosed as assets and negative fair values as liabilities in the statement of net<br />

assets, under the item "Total financial derivative instruments".<br />

Interest to be received on swaps are included in the item "Other Assets".<br />

Interest to be paid on swaps are included in the item "Current Liabilities".<br />

Income<br />

Dividends are accounted for on the ex-date.<br />

Interest is accrued on a daily basis.<br />

Large transactions in or out of a sub-fund can create "dilution" of a sub-fund’s assets because the price at which an investor buys or sells shares<br />

in a sub-fund may not entirely reflect the dealing and other costs that arise when the portfolio manager has to trade in securities to<br />

accommodate large cash inflows and outflows. In order to counter this and enhance the protection of existing shareholders, the mechanism<br />

known as "Swinging Single Pricing" (SSP) may be applied if the net capital movement is greater than a threshold determined by the Board of<br />

Directors. Existing investors will no longer have to indirectly bear these transactions costs because with SSP the charge of the transaction costs is<br />

directly integrated into the calculation of the net asset value, with these costs borne by incoming and outgoing investors. By using SSP, the net<br />

asset value of the relevant sub-fund is adjusted when the threshold is reached by an amount, called the "swing factor", to compensate<br />

transactions costs resulting from the net capital flows (difference between in and outflows). Where there are net capital inflows, the swing<br />

factor is added to the net asset value to take account of subscriptions of sub-fund shares, where there are net outflows, the swing factor is<br />

deducted from the net asset value to take account of shares redemptions. In both cases, the same net asset value applies to all incoming and<br />

outgoing investors on a particular date. All sub-funds of the Company may be included in the Swinging Single Pricing.<br />

As at September, 30, 2010, Swinging Single Pricing was applied on the sub-fund <strong>ING</strong> Renta Fund - World as follows:<br />
