Notes to the condensed consolidated interim accounts
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These condensed consolidated interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting principles used to prepare these condensed consolidated interim accounts comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and are consistent with those set out in the notes to the 2008 Consolidated Annual Accounts of ING Group, except for the amendments referred to below.
These condensed consolidated interim accounts should be read in conjunction with ING Group’s 2008 Annual Accounts.
The following standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations become effective in 2009 if and when endorsed by the EU:
  Amendment to IFRS 2 ‘Share-based Payments’ – ‘Vesting Conditions and Cancellations’
 
  IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’
 
  IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’
 
  IAS 23 ‘Borrowing Costs’
 
  Amendments to IAS 32 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ and IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – ‘Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation’
 
  Amendments to IFRS 1 ‘First-time Adoption of IFRS’ and IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ – Determining the cost of an Investment in the Separate Financial Statements’
 
  IFRIC 13 ‘Customer Loyalty Programmes’
 
  IFRIC 15 ‘Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate’
 
  IFRIC 16 ‘Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation’
 
  2008 Annual Improvements to IFRS
 
  Amendment to IFRS 7 ‘Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments’
 
  Amendment to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 – ‘Embedded Derivatives’
The following new or revised standards and interpretations were issued by the IASB, which become effective for ING Group as of 2010, unless otherwise indicated, if and when endorsed by the EU:
  Amendment to IFRS 1 ‘First-time adoption of IFRS’
 
  IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ (revised) and IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ (amended)
 
  Amendment to IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ – ‘Eligible Hedged Items’
 
  IFRIC 17 ‘Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners’
 
  IFRIC 18 ‘Transfers of Assets from Customers’
 
  2009 Annual Improvements to IFRS
 
  Amendment to IFRS 2 ‘Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions’
 
  Amendments to IFRS 1 ‘Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters’
 
  Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment to IAS 32), effective as per 2011
 
  Amendment to IAS 24 ‘Related Party Disclosures’, effective as per 2011
 
  In November 2009 the IASB issued the near final draft of the chapters of IFRS 9 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets. Reference is made to Note 18 ‘Subsequent events’
ING Group does not expect the adoption of these new or revised standards and interpretations to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU provide several options in accounting principles. ING Group’s accounting principles under International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and its decision on the options available are set out in the section “Principles of valuation and determination of results” in the 2008 Annual Accounts.
Certain amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated interim accounts reflect estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.
In 2009, the methodology for determining the liability for insurance contracts in Japan was revised. The liability for certain guarantees is now measured at fair value. The impact of this change in accounting policy was not material to shareholders’ equity and Net result of ING Group.

During the second quarter of 2009 the Group reclassified EUR 0.8 billion of available-for-sale financial assets to held-to- maturity. The reclassification resulted from reduction in market liquidity for these assets, the Group now has the intent and ability to hold these assets until maturity.
Reclassifications out of available-for-sale investments to loans and receivables are allowed under IFRS as of the third quarter of 2008. During the first and second quarter of 2009 ING Group reclassified certain financial assets from Investments to Loans and advances to customers and Amounts due from banks. The Group identified assets, eligible for reclassification, for which at the reclassification date it had an intent to hold for the foreseeable future. At the reclassification dates the fair value of the reclassified assets amounted to EUR 22.8 billion for reclassification made during the first quarter of 2009 and EUR 6.1 billion for reclassification made during the second quarter.
Reclassifications to Loans and advances to customers in the first quarter
As of reclassification date 12 January 2009, for assets reclassified during the first quarter 2009, the (weighted average) effective interest rates were in the range from 2.1% to 11.7% and expected recoverable cash flows were EUR 24 billion. Unrealised fair value losses recognised in shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 1.2 billion. This amount will be released from equity and amortised to the profit and loss account over the remaining life of the assets on an effective interest rate basis. From 1 January 2009 until the reclassification date no unrealised fair value losses were recognised in shareholders’ equity, no impairment was recognised.
As at 30 September 2009 the carrying value in the balance sheet and the fair value of the financial assets reclassified in the first quarter amounted to EUR 20.9 billion and EUR 20.3 billion respectively.
If the reclassification had not been made, result before tax would have been unchanged and shareholders’ equity as per 30 September 2009 would have been EUR 0.4 billion after tax lower due to unrealised fair value losses.
After the reclassification, the reclassified financial assets contributed EUR 450 million to result before tax for the period ended 30 September 2009, which fully consisted of Interest income. No provision for credit losses was recognised.
In the year ended 31 December 2008 no impairment on reclassified financial assets available-for-sale was recognised. Unrealised fair value losses of EUR 0.3 billion were recognised directly in shareholders’ equity.

Reclassifications to Loans and advances to customers in the second quarter
For amounts reclassified during the second quarter of 2009, as of the reclassification date 1 June 2009, the (weighted average) effective interest rates on reclassified assets were in the range from 1.42% to 24.82% and expected recoverable cash flows were EUR 7.1 billion. Unrealised fair value losses recognised in shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 1.0 billion. This amount will be released from equity and amortised to the profit and loss account over the remaining life of the assets on an effective interest rate basis. From 1 January 2009 until the reclassification date EUR 0.2 billion unrealised fair value gains were recognised in shareholders’ equity, no impairment was recognised.
As at 30 September 2009 the carrying value in the balance sheet and the fair value of the financial assets reclassified in the second quarter amounted to EUR 5.9 billion and EUR 6.2 billion respectively.
If the reclassification had not been made, result before tax would have been unchanged and shareholders’ equity as per 30 September 2009 would have been EUR 235 million after tax higher due to a decrease in unrealised losses since the date of reclassification.
After the reclassification, the reclassified financial assets contributed EUR 35 million to result before tax for the period ended 30 September 2009, which fully consisted of Interest income. No provision for credit losses was recognised.
In the year ended 31 December 2008 no impairment on reclassified financial assets available-for-sale was recognised. Unrealised fair value losses of EUR 1.1 billion were recognised directly in shareholders’ equity.

Diluted earnings per share data are calculated as if the stock options outstanding at the end of the third quarter had been exercised at the beginning of the period. It is also assumed that ING Group uses the cash received from stock options exercised to buy its own shares against the average market price in the reporting period. The net increase in the number of shares resulting from exercising stock options or converting non-voting equity securities is added to the average number of shares used for the calculation of net earnings per share.
The potential conversion of the non-voting equity securities in 2009 is not taken into account in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as this would have an anti-dilutive effect i.e. diluted earnings per share would become less negative than the earnings after potential attribution to non-voting equity securities.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING
ING Group’s operating segments relate to the internal segmentation by business lines. These include the business lines: Retail Banking, ING Direct, Commercial Banking, Insurance Europe, Insurance Americas and Insurance Asia/Pacific. Until 2008, the operating segment Commercial Banking was named Wholesale Banking. The content of this segment remained unchanged. Other mainly includes items not directly attributable to the business lines.
The Corporate Line Banking and the Corporate Line Insurance are both included in Other. These are not separate reportable segments as they do not qualify as an operating segment that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses.
Corporate Line Banking is a reflection of capital management activities and certain expenses that are not allocated to the banking businesses.

12. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
In October 2008 ING announced that it had reached agreement to sell its entire Taiwanese life insurance business, ING Life Taiwan, to Fubon Financial Holding Co. Ltd. for approximately EUR 447 million. As at 31 December 2008 ING Life Taiwan qualified as a disposal group held for sale. The sale was completed on 13 February 2009. Consequently ING Life Taiwan is deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2009. ING was paid in a fixed number of shares with the difference between the fair value of those shares at the closing date and the sale price being paid in subordinated debt securities of the acquirer. The shares have a lock-up period of one year. ING Life Taiwan is included in the segment Insurance Asia/Pacific. This transaction resulted in a loss of EUR 292 million. The loss was recognised in 2008 in the profit and loss account.
In February 2009, ING announced that it had agreed to sell its 70% stake in ING Canada for net proceeds of approximately EUR 1,316 million (CAD 2,099 million). The transaction was closed on 19 February 2009. This transaction resulted in a decrease in Total assets of approximately EUR 5,471 million and a decrease of Total liabilities of approximately EUR 3,983 million.
On 31 July 2009 ING announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its non-core Annuity and Mortgage businesses in Chile to Corp Group Vida Chile, S.A. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

14. IMPORTANT EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS
ING Group and the Dutch government (‘State’) reached an agreement on an Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility (‘Facility’) on 26 January 2009; the transaction closed on 31 March 2009. The Facility covers the Alt-A portfolios of both ING Direct US and ING Insurance Americas, with a par value of EUR 30 billion. Under the Facility, ING has transferred 80% of the economic ownership of its Alt-A portfolio to the Dutch State. As a result, an undivided 80% interest in the risk and rewards on the portfolio was transferred to the Dutch State. ING retained the legal ownership of its Alt-A portfolio. The transaction price was 90% of the par value with respect to the 80% proportion of the portfolio of which the Dutch State has become the economic owner. The transaction price remains payable by the State to ING and will be redeemed over the remaining life. Furthermore, under the Facility other fees will have to be paid by both ING and the State. As a result of the transaction ING derecognised 80% of the Alt-A portfolio from the balance sheet and recognised a receivable on the Dutch State.
Under the terms of the transaction as agreed on 26 January 2009, the overall sales proceeds amounts to EUR 22.4 billion. The amortised cost (after prior impairments) at the date of the transaction was also approximately EUR 22.4 billion. The transaction (the difference between the sales proceeds and amortised cost) resulted in a loss in the first quarter of 2009 of EUR 109 million after tax. The fair value under IFRS at the date of the transaction was EUR 15.2 billion. The difference between the sales proceeds and the fair value under IFRS is an integral part of the transaction and therefore accounted for as part of the result on the transaction. The transaction resulted in a reduction of the negative revaluation -and therefore increase equity- by approximately EUR 5 billion (after tax).
The valuation method of the 20% Alt-A securities in the IFRS balance sheet is not impacted by this transaction. The methodology used to determine the fair value for these assets in the balance sheet under IFRS is disclosed in the 2008 Consolidated annual accounts of ING Group.
This transaction was subject to approval by the European Commission (“EC”). The European Commission had temporarily approved the transaction for a six month period.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim accounts
On 26 October 2009 ING announced:
  the strategic decision to separate ING Group’s banking and insurance operations and the divestment of all Insurance and Investment Management activities over time. This decision is part of the restructuring plan discussed with the EC and subject to shareholders approval at the extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 November 2009;
 
  the finalisation of negotiations with the EC with formal EC approval of the restructuring plan expected before 25 November 2009;
 
  that in order to receive approval from the EC ING needs to divest ING Direct USA by the end of 2013;
 
  that as part of the restructuring plan ING will create a new company in the Dutch retail market composed of Interadvies (including Westland Utrecht and the mortgage activities of Nationale-Nederlanden) and the existing consumer lending portfolio of ING Retail in the Netherlands. This business, once separated, will be divested;
 
  that ING has agreed not to be a price leader in any EU country for certain retail and SME banking products and will refrain from the acquisition of financial institutions or other businesses that would delay the repayment of the Core Tier 1 securities. These restrictions will apply for the shorter period of three years or until the Core Tier 1 securities have been repaid in full to the Dutch State;
 
  that ING has agreed with the Dutch State to alter the repayment terms of 50% of the Core Tier 1 securities;
 
  the intended repurchase of EUR 5 billion of the Core Tier 1 securities issued to the Dutch State in November 2008;
 
  that additional payments are to be made to the Dutch State in the form of fee adjustments relating to the Illiquid Assets Back-up Facility which are expected to result in a one-off pre-tax charge to ING of EUR 1.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009; and
 
  that ING plans to launch a EUR 7.5 billion rights issue, in order to finance the repayment of 50% of the Core Tier 1 securities and to mitigate the capital impact of the additional payment to the Dutch State of EUR 1.3 billion, which remains to be authorized at the extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 25 November 2009.
15. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The methods used are disclosed in the 2008 Annual Accounts. The breakdown of assets by Reference to published price quotations in active markets, assets valued using Valuation techniques supported by market inputs and Assets valued using Valuation techniques not supported by market inputs was impacted in the first three quarters of 2009 by the following:
  The derecognition of Alt-A securities as disclosed in Note 14 ‘Important events and transactions’ resulted in a reduction in Valuation techniques not supported by market inputs of EUR 15.2 billion.
 
  The “reclassification in the first quarter” from Available-for-sale to Loans and advances to customers as disclosed in Note 3 ‘Investments’ resulted in a reduction in Valuation techniques supported by market inputs of EUR 22.8 billion.
 
  Certain Asset Backed Securities were reclassified from Reference to published price quotations in active markets to Valuation techniques not supported by market inputs during the first quarter because the relevant markets had become inactive; subsequently these were reclassified to loans during the second quarter.
16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the normal course of business, the Group enters into various transactions with related companies. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operating decisions. Transactions have taken place on an arm’s length basis and include rendering or receiving of services, leases, transfers under finance arrangements and provisions of guarantees or collateral.
Transactions with related parties (Joint ventures and associates) and Key management personnel compensation are disclosed in Note 32 ‘Related Parties’ in the ING Group 2008 Annual Accounts. Following the transactions as disclosed in Note 13 ‘Issuance, repurchases and repayment of debt and equity securities in issue’ and Note 14 ‘Important events and transactions’ above and Note 12 ‘Shareholders’ equity (parent) / non-voting equity securities’ in the ING Group 2008 Annual Accounts, the Dutch State is now a related party of ING Group. All other transactions between ING Group and the Dutch State are of a normal business nature and on an at arm’s length basis. No other material changes in related party disclosures occurred.
17. DIVIDEND PAID
On 12 November 2008, ING Groep N.V. issued EUR 10 billion non-voting equity securities to the Dutch government. Dividends have to be paid if (interim) dividend is being paid to the holders of ordinary shares. As a result of the interim dividend paid on ordinary shares in 2008 ING recognised a dividend payable of EUR 425 million to the Dutch State as per 31 December 2008. On 12 May 2009 this dividend was paid out. Reference is made to the Annual Accounts 2008 for more detailed information on this transaction.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Reference is made to Note 14 ‘Important events and transactions’ for the announcement made by ING on 26 October 2009.
On 19 October 2009 DSB Bank N.V. was declared bankrupt. While ING has negligible direct exposure to DSB Bank N.V., it is a contributor to the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Under the Scheme savings and deposits at the Dutch banks are guaranteed up to an amount of EUR 100,000 per customer. In the event of a bank failure, the other banks together cover the amount needed after assets and liabilities are netted. At this stage it is too early to give an estimate of this indirect exposure.
On 2 November 2009 the IASB issued the near final draft of the chapters of IFRS 9 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets. Ultimately the IASB aims to replace IAS 39 in its entirety by the end of 2010. IFRS 9 needs to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but companies may decide to earlier adopt. At this stage it is too early to determine the impact on ING.
