Introduction
The ILIAC Guaranteed Account (the “Guaranteed Account”) (formerly the IICA Guaranteed Account) is a fixed
interest option available during the accumulation phase of certain variable annuity contracts (the “contracts”) issued
by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). Prior to January 1,
2006, contracts offering the Guaranteed Account were issued by ING Insurance Company of America (“IICA”). On
December 31, 2005, IICA merged with and into ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, and ING Life Insurance
and Annuity Company assumed responsibility for all of IICA’s obligations under the contracts, including
Guaranteed Account obligations. See “Other Topics - The Company” for information about the merger of IICA
with and into the Company. Read this prospectus carefully before investing in the Guaranteed Account and save it
for future reference.

General Description
The Guaranteed Account offers investors an opportunity to earn specified guaranteed rates of interest for specified
periods of time, called guaranteed terms. We generally offer several guaranteed terms at any one time for those
considering investing in the Guaranteed Account. The number of guaranteed terms offered may vary by state, we
may not offer all guaranteed terms on all contracts, and the rates for a given guaranteed term may vary among
contracts. Each guaranteed term offers a guaranteed interest rate for investments that remain in the Guaranteed
Account for the duration of the specific guaranteed term. The guaranteed term establishes both the length of time
for which we agree to credit a guaranteed interest rate and how long your investment must remain in the Guaranteed
Account in order to receive the guaranteed interest rate.

We guarantee both principal and interest if, and only if, your investment remains invested for the full guaranteed
term. Charges related to the contract, such as a maintenance fee or early withdrawal charge, may still apply even if
you do not withdraw until the end of a guaranteed term. Investments taken out of the Guaranteed Account prior
to the end of a guaranteed term may be subject to a market value adjustment which may result in an
investment gain or loss. See “Market Value Adjustment (MVA).”

This prospectus will explain:

  • Guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed terms;
  • Contributions to the Guaranteed Account;
  • Types of investments available;
  • How rates are offered;
  • How there can be an investment risk and how we calculate gain or loss;
  • Contract charges that can affect your account value in the Guaranteed Account;
  • Taking investments out of the Guaranteed Account; and
  • How to reinvest or withdraw at maturity.

Additional Disclosure Information
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved
of these securities or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense. We do not intend for this prospectus to be an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these
securities in any state or jurisdiction that does not permit their sale. We have not authorized anyone to provide you

  SUMMARY

The Guaranteed Account is a fixed interest option that may be available during the accumulation phase of your
variable annuity contract. The following is a summary of certain facts about the Guaranteed Account.

In General. Amounts that you invest in the Guaranteed Account will earn a guaranteed interest rate if left in the
Guaranteed Account for a specified period of time (the guaranteed term). You must invest amounts in the
Guaranteed Account for the full guaranteed term in order to receive the quoted guaranteed interest rate. If you
withdraw or transfer those amounts before the end of the guaranteed term, we may apply a “market value
adjustment,” which may be positive or negative.

Questions: Contacting the Company. To answer your questions, contact your sales representatives or write or call
our Customer Service Center at:

ING
P.O. Box 9271
Des Moines, IA 50306-9271 

Deposit Periods. A deposit period is the time during which we offer a specific guaranteed interest rate if you
deposit dollars for a specific guaranteed term. For a particular guaranteed interest rate and guaranteed term to apply
to your account dollars, you must invest them during the deposit period in which that rate and term are offered.

Guaranteed Terms. A guaranteed term is the period of time account dollars must be left in the Guaranteed
Account in order to earn the guaranteed interest rate specified for that guaranteed term. We offer different
guaranteed terms at different times. We may also offer more than one guaranteed term of the same duration with
different guaranteed interest rates. Check with your sales representative or the Company to learn the details about the
guaranteed term(s) currently offered. We reserve the right to limit the number of guaranteed terms or the
availability of certain guaranteed terms. The number of guaranteed terms offered may vary by state, we may not
offer all guaranteed terms on all contracts, and the rates for a given guaranteed term may vary among contracts.

Guaranteed Interest Rates. We guarantee different interest rates, depending upon when account dollars are
invested in the Guaranteed Account. For guaranteed terms one year or longer, we may offer different rates for
specified time periods within a guaranteed term. The interest rate we guarantee is an annual effective yield; that
means that the rate reflects a full year’s interest. We credit interest at a rate that will provide the guaranteed annual
effective yield over one year. The guaranteed interest rate(s) is guaranteed for that deposit period and for the length
of the guaranteed term.

The guaranteed interest rates we offer will always meet or exceed the minimum interest rates agreed to in the
contract. Apart from meeting the contractual minimum interest rates, we cannot guarantee any aspect of future
offerings.

Fees and Other Deductions. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Guaranteed Account to cover
mortality and expense risks. We consider these risks when determining the credited rate. The following other types
of charges may be deducted from amounts held in, withdrawn or transferred from the Guaranteed Account:

  • Market Value Adjustment (MVA). An MVA may be applied to amounts transferred or withdrawn prior to the end of a guaranteed term, which reflects changes in interest rates since the deposit period.
    The MVA may be positive or negative and therefore may increase or decrease the amount withdrawnto satisfy a transfer or withdrawal request. See “Market Value Adjustment (MVA).”
  • Tax Penalties and/or Tax Withholding. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to withholding for federal income taxes, as well as a 10% penalty tax for amounts withdrawn prior to your having attained age 59½. See “Taxation;” see also the “Taxation” section of the contract prospectus.

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-1


  • Early Withdrawal Charge. An early withdrawal charge, which is a deferred sales charge, may apply to amounts withdrawn from the contract, in order to reimburse us for some of the sales and administrative expenses associated with the contract. See “Contract Charges;” see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus.
  • Maintenance Fee. A maintenance fee of up to $30 may be deducted, on an annual basis, pro-rata from all funding options including the Guaranteed Account. See “Contract Charges;” see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus.
  • Transfer Fees. During the accumulation phase, transfer fees of up to $10 per transfer may be deducted from amounts held in or transferred from the Guaranteed Account. See “Contract Charges;” see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus.
  • Premium Taxes. We may deduct a charge for premium taxes of up to 4.0% from amounts in the Guaranteed Account. See “Contract Charges;” see also the “Fees” section of the contract prospectus.

Market Value Adjustment (MVA). If you withdraw or transfer your account value from the Guaranteed Account
before a guaranteed term is complete, an MVA may apply. The MVA reflects the change in the value of the
investment due to changes in interest rates since the date of deposit. The MVA may be positive or negative depending
upon interest rate activity at the time of withdrawal or transfer.

An MVA will not apply to:

  • Amounts transferred or withdrawn at the end of a guaranteed term;
  • Transactions made under the maturity value transfer provision;
  • Transfers due to participation in the dollar cost averaging program (see “Market Value Adjustment” for certain restrictions);
  • Amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option (see “Systematic Distribution Options” in the contract prospectus);
  • Withdrawals for minimum distributions required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Tax Code), and for which the early withdrawal charge is waived; and
  • Withdrawals due to your exercise of the right to cancel your contract. See the “Right to Cancel” section of the contract prospectus.

MVAs applied to withdrawals or transfers from the Guaranteed Account will be calculated as an “aggregate MVA,”
which is the sum of all MVAs applicable due to the withdrawal (see sidebar in “Market Value Adjustment (MVA)”
section of this prospectus for an example of the calculation of the aggregate MVA). The following withdrawals will
be subject to an aggregate MVA only if it is positive:

  • Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and
  • Unless otherwise noted, payment of a guaranteed death benefit (if paid within the first six months following death).

All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of whether it is positive or negative,
including:

  · Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option;

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-2


  • Payment of a guaranteed death benefit due to the death of a spousal beneficiary or a joint contract holder who continued the account in his or her name after the death of the other joint contract holder;
  • Payment of a guaranteed death benefit more than six months after the date of death; and
  • Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (an MVA may not apply in certain situations, as noted above).

See “Description of the Guaranteed Account” and “Market Value Adjustment (MVA).”

Maturity of a Guaranteed Term. On or before the end of a guaranteed term, you may instruct us to:

  • Transfer the matured amount to one or more new guaranteed terms available under the current deposit period;
  • Transfer the matured amount to other available investment options; or
  • Withdraw the matured amount.

Amounts withdrawn may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, a maintenance fee, tax withholding and, if you
are under age 59½, tax penalties. See “Contract Charges;” see also the “Fees” and “Taxation” sections of the contract
prospectus.

When a guaranteed term ends, if we have not received instructions from you, we will automatically reinvest the
maturing investment into a new guaranteed term of similar length (see “Maturity of a Guaranteed Term” and
“Maturity Value Transfer Provision”). If the same guaranteed term is no longer available, the next shortest guaranteed
term available in the current deposit period will be used. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, the next longest
guaranteed term will be used.

If you do not provide instructions concerning the maturing amount on or before the end of a guaranteed term, and
this amount is automatically reinvested as noted above, the maturity value transfer provision will apply.

Maturity Value Transfer Provision. This provision allows transfers or withdrawals of amounts automatically
reinvested at the end of a guaranteed term without an MVA, if the transfer or withdrawal occurs during the calendar
month immediately following a guaranteed term maturity date. As described in “Fees and Other Deductions”
above, other fees, including an early withdrawal charge and a maintenance fee, may be assessed on amounts
withdrawn. See “Maturity Value Transfer Provision.”

Transfer of Account Dollars. Generally, account dollars invested in the Guaranteed Account may be transferred
among guaranteed terms offered through the Guaranteed Account and/or to other investment options offered through
the contract. However:

  • Transfers may not be made during the deposit period in which your account dollars are invested in the Guaranteed Account or for 90 days after the close of that deposit period; and
  • We may apply an MVA to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed term.

Investments. Guaranteed interest rates credited during any guaranteed term do not necessarily relate to investment
performance. Deposits received into the Guaranteed Account will generally be invested in federal, state and
municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate, certain other fixed
income investments and cash or cash equivalents. All of our general assets are available to meet guarantees under
the Guaranteed Account.

Amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account are held in a nonunitized separate account originally established
under Florida law. Prior to January 1, 2006, these amounts were held in a nonunitized separate account of ING

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-3


Insurance Company of America (“IICA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. In connection with the merger of
IICA with and into the Company, this nonunitized separate account was transferred to the Company on December
31, 2005. The nonunitized separate account now operates pursuant to Connecticut law. To the extent provided for in
the contract, assets of the separate account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business that
we conduct. See “Investments.”

Notification of Maturity. We will notify you at least 18 calendar days prior to the maturity of a guaranteed term.
We will include information relating to the current deposit period’s guaranteed interest rates and the available
guaranteed terms. You may obtain information concerning available deposit periods, guaranteed interest rates and
guaranteed terms by telephone (1-800-531-4547). See “Description of the ILIAC Guaranteed Account—General”
and “Maturity of a Guaranteed Term.”

DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNT

General
The Guaranteed Account offers guaranteed interest rates for specific guaranteed terms. For a particular guaranteed
interest rate and guaranteed term to apply to your account dollars, you must invest them during the deposit period in
which that rate and term are offered. For guaranteed terms of one year or longer, we may offer different interest
rates for specified time periods within a guaranteed term. We may also offer more than one guaranteed term of the
same duration with different guaranteed interest rates.

An MVA may be applied to any values withdrawn or transferred from a guaranteed term prior to the end of that
guaranteed term, except for amounts transferred under the maturity value transfer provision, amounts transferred
under the dollar cost averaging program, amounts withdrawn under a systematic distribution option, amounts
withdrawn for minimum distributions required by the Tax Code and withdrawals due to your exercise of the right to
cancel your contract.

MVAs applied to withdrawals or transfers from the Guaranteed Account will be calculated as an “aggregate MVA,”
which is the sum of all MVAs applicable due to the withdrawal (see sidebar in “Market Value Adjustment (MVA)”
section of this prospectus for an example of the calculation of the aggregate MVA). The following withdrawals will
be subject to an aggregate MVA only if it is positive:

  • Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and
  • Unless otherwise noted, payment of a guaranteed death benefit (if paid within the first six months following death).

All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of whether it is positive or negative,
including:

  • Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option;
  • Payment of a guaranteed death benefit due to the death of a spousal beneficiary or a joint contract holder who continued the account in his or her name after the death of the other joint contract holder;
  • Payment of a guaranteed death benefit more than six months after the date of death; and
  • Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (an MVA may not apply in certain situations; see “Market Value Adjustment (MVA)”).

We maintain a toll-free telephone number for those wishing to obtain information concerning available deposit
periods, guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed terms. The telephone number is (800) 531-4547. At least 18 calendar
days before a guaranteed term matures we will notify you of the upcoming deposit period dates and information on
the current guaranteed interest rates, guaranteed terms and projected matured guaranteed term values.

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

Contributions to the Guaranteed Account
You may invest in the guaranteed terms available in the current deposit period by allocating new payments to the
Guaranteed Account or by transferring a sum from other funding options available under the contract or from other
guaranteed terms of the Guaranteed Account, subject to the transfer limitations described in the contract. We may
limit the number of guaranteed terms you may select. Currently, if the dollar cost averaging program is in effect in a
guaranteed term and you wish to add an additional deposit to be dollar cost averaged, all amounts to be dollar cost
averaged will be combined and the dollar cost averaging amount will be recalculated. This will affect the duration
of amounts in the guaranteed term.

Although there is currently no limit, we reserve the right to limit the total number of investment options you may
select at any one time during the life of the contract. For purposes of determining any limit, each guaranteed term
counts as one investment option. Although we may require a minimum payment(s) to a contract, we do not require
a minimum investment for a guaranteed term. Refer to the contract prospectus. There is a $500 minimum for
transfers from other funding options.

Investments may not be transferred from a guaranteed term during the deposit period in which the investment is
applied or during the first 90 days after the close of the deposit period. This restriction does not apply to amounts
transferred or withdrawn under the maturity value transfer provision, to amounts transferred under the dollar cost
averaging program or, in some situations, withdrawn because you discontinued the dollar cost averaging program or
to amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option. See “Maturity Value Transfer Provision” and
“Transfers.”

Deposit Period
The deposit period is the period of time during which you may direct investments to a particular guaranteed term(s)
and receive a stipulated guaranteed interest rate(s). Each deposit period may be a month, a calendar quarter or any
other period of time we specify.

Guaranteed Terms
A guaranteed term is the time we specify during which we credit the guaranteed interest rate. We offer guaranteed
terms at our discretion for various periods ranging up to and including ten years. We may limit the number of
guaranteed terms you may select and may require enrollment in the dollar cost averaging program.

Guaranteed Interest Rates
Guaranteed interest rates are the rates that we guarantee will be credited on amounts applied during a deposit period
for a specific guaranteed term. We may offer different guaranteed interest rates on guaranteed terms of the same
duration. Guaranteed interest rates are annual effective yields, reflecting a full year’s interest. We credit interest at
a rate that will provide the guaranteed annual effective yield over one year. Guaranteed interest rates are credited
according to the length of the guaranteed term as follows:

Guaranteed Terms of One Year or Less. The guaranteed interest rate is credited from the date of deposit to the
last day of the guaranteed term.

Guaranteed Terms of Greater than One Year. Several different guaranteed interest rates may be applicable
during a guaranteed term of more than one year. The initial guaranteed interest rate is credited from the date of
deposit to the end of a specified period within the guaranteed term. We may credit several different guaranteed
interest rates for subsequent specific periods of time within the guaranteed term. For example, for a five-year
guaranteed term we may guarantee 7% for the first year, 6.75% for the next two years and 6.5% for the remaining
two years. We reserve the right, however, to apply one guaranteed interest rate for an entire guaranteed term.

We will not guarantee or credit a guaranteed interest rate below the minimum rate specified in the contract, nor will
we credit interest at a rate above the guaranteed interest rate we announce prior to the start of a deposit period. Our
guaranteed interest rates are influenced by, but do not necessarily correspond to, interest rates available on fixed
income investments we may buy using deposits directed to the Guaranteed Account (see “Investments”). We
consider other factors when determining guaranteed interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, sales
commissions and administrative expenses borne by the Company, general economic trends and competitive factors.

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-5


We make the final determination regarding guaranteed interest rates. We cannot predict the level of future
guaranteed interest rates.

Maturity of a Guaranteed Term. At least 18 calendar days prior to the maturity of a guaranteed term we will
notify you of the upcoming deposit period, the projected value of the amount maturing at the end of the guaranteed
term and the guaranteed interest rate(s) and guaranteed term(s) available for the current deposit period.

When a guaranteed term matures, the amounts in any maturing guaranteed term may be:

  • Transferred to a new guaranteed term(s), if available under the contract;
  • Transferred to any of the allowable investment options available under the contract; or
  • Withdrawn from the contract.

We do not apply an MVA to amounts transferred or withdrawn from a guaranteed term on the date the guaranteed
term matures. Amounts withdrawn, however, may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, a maintenance fee,
taxation and, if the contract holder is under age 59½, tax penalties.

If we have not received direction from you by the maturity date of a guaranteed term, we will automatically transfer
the matured term value to a new guaranteed term of similar length. If the same guaranteed term is no longer
available, the next shortest guaranteed term available in the current deposit period will be used. If no shorter
guaranteed term is available, the next longest guaranteed term will be used.

Under the Guaranteed Account, each guaranteed term is counted as one funding option. If a guaranteed term
matures, and is renewed for the same term, it will not count as an additional investment option for purposes of any
limitation on the number of investment options.

You will receive a confirmation statement, plus information on the new guaranteed rate(s) and guaranteed term.

Maturity Value Transfer Provision
If we automatically reinvest the proceeds from a matured guaranteed term, you may transfer or withdraw from the
Guaranteed Account the amount that was reinvested without an MVA. An early withdrawal charge and
maintenance fee may apply to withdrawals. If the full amount reinvested is transferred or withdrawn, we will
include interest credited to the date of the transfer or withdrawal. This provision is only available until the last
business day of the month following the maturity date of the prior guaranteed term. This provision only applies to
the first transfer or withdrawal request received from the contract holder with respect to a particular matured
guaranteed term value, regardless of the amount involved in the transaction.

  TRANSFERS

We allow you to transfer all or a portion of your account value to the Guaranteed Account or to other investment
options under the contract. We do not allow transfers from any guaranteed term to any other guaranteed term or
investment option during the deposit period for that guaranteed term or for 90 days following the close of that
deposit period. The 90-day wait does not apply to:

  • Amounts transferred on the maturity date or under the maturity value transfer provision;
  • Amounts transferred from the Guaranteed Account before the maturity date due to the election of an income phase payment option;
  • Amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option; or

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-6


  • Amounts transferred from an available guaranteed term in connection with the dollar cost averaging program.

Transfers after the 90-day period are permitted from a guaranteed term(s) to another guaranteed term(s) available
during a deposit period or to other available investment options. We will apply an MVA to transfers made before
the end of a guaranteed term. Transfers within one calendar month of a term’s maturity date are not counted as one
of the 12 free transfers of accumulated values in the account.

When the contract holder requests the transfer of a specific dollar amount, we account for any applicable MVA in
determining the amount to be withdrawn from a guaranteed term(s) to fulfill the request. Therefore, the amount we
actually withdraw from the guaranteed term(s) may be more or less than the requested dollar amount (see “Appendix
I” for an example). For more information on transfers, see the contract prospectus.

  WITHDRAWALS

The contract allows for full or partial withdrawals from the Guaranteed Account at any time during the accumulation
phase. To make a full or partial withdrawal, a request form (available from us) must be properly completed and
submitted to our Service Center (or other designated office as provided in the contract).

Partial withdrawals are made pro-rata from each guaranteed term group. From each guaranteed term group, we will
first withdraw funds from the oldest deposit period, then from the next oldest and so on.

We may apply an MVA to withdrawals made prior to the end of a guaranteed term, except for withdrawals made
under the maturity value transfer provision (see “Market Value Adjustment”). We may deduct an early withdrawal
charge and maintenance fee. The early withdrawal charge is a deferred sales charge which may be deducted upon
withdrawal to reimburse us for some of the sales and administrative expenses associated with the contract. A
maintenance fee, up to $30, may be deducted pro-rata from each of the funding options, including the Guaranteed
Account. Refer to the contract prospectus for a description of these charges. When a request for a partial withdrawal
of a specific dollar amount is made, we will include the MVA in determining the amount to be withdrawn from the
guaranteed term(s) to fulfill the request. Therefore, the amount we actually take from the guaranteed term(s) may be
more or less than the dollar amount requested. See “Appendix I” for an example.

Deferral of Payments
Under certain emergency conditions, we may defer payment of a Guaranteed Account withdrawal for up to six
months. Refer to the contract prospectus for more details.

Reinstatement Privilege
You may elect to reinstate all or a portion of a full withdrawal during the 30 days following such a withdrawal. We
must receive amounts for reinstatement within 60 days of the withdrawal.

We will apply reinstated amounts to the current deposit period. This means that the guaranteed annual interest rate
and guaranteed terms available on the date of reinstatement will apply. Amounts are reinstated in the same
proportion as prior to the full withdrawal. We will not credit your account for market value adjustments that we
deducted at the time of withdrawal or refund any taxes that were withheld. Refer to the contract prospectus for
further details.

  MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA)

Aggregate MVA — The total of all MVAs applied due to a transfer or withdrawal.

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-7


Calculation of the Aggregate

MVA — In order to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal, amounts may be withdrawn from more than one guaranteed
term, with more than one guaranteed interest rate. In order to determine the MVA applicable to such a transfer or
withdrawal, the MVAs applicable to each guaranteed term will be added together, in order to determine the
“aggregate MVA.”

Example: 
                   $1,000 withdrawal, two guaranteed terms, 
                   MVA1 = $10, MVA2 = $–30 
                   $10 + $–30 = $–20. 
                   Aggregate MVA = $–20. 
 
Example: 
                   $1,000 withdrawal, two guaranteed terms, 
                   MVA1 = $30, MVA2 = $–10 
                   $30 + $–10 = $20. 
                   Aggregate MVA = $20. 

We apply an MVA to amounts transferred or withdrawn from the Guaranteed Account prior to the end of a
guaranteed term. To accommodate early withdrawals or transfers, we may need to liquidate certain assets or use
cash that could otherwise be invested at current interest rates. When we sell assets prematurely we could realize a
profit or loss depending upon market conditions.

The MVA reflects changes in interest rates since the deposit period. When interest rates increase after the deposit
period, the value of the investment decreases and the MVA amount may be negative. Conversely, when interest
rates decrease after the deposit period, the value of the investment increases and the MVA amount may be positive.
Therefore, the application of an MVA may increase or decrease the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term to satisfy a
withdrawal or transfer request.

An MVA will not apply to:

  • Amounts transferred or withdrawn at the end of a guaranteed term;
  • Transactions made under the maturity value transfer provision;
  • Transfers due to participation in the dollar cost averaging program*;
  • Amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option—see “Systematic Distribution Options” in the contract prospectus;
  • Withdrawals for minimum distributions required by the Tax Code and for which the early withdrawal charge is waived; and
  • Withdrawals due to your exercise of the right to cancel your contract. See the “Right to Cancel” section of the contract prospectus.

* If you discontinue the dollar cost averaging program and transfer the amounts in it, subject to the Company’s
terms and conditions governing guaranteed terms, to another guaranteed term, an MVA will apply.

MVAs applied to withdrawals or transfers from the Guaranteed Account will be calculated as an “aggregate MVA,”
which is the sum of all MVAs applicable due to the withdrawal (see sidebar on previous page for an example of the
calculation of the aggregate MVA). The following withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA only if it is
positive:

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-8


  • Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and
  • Unless otherwise noted, payment of a guaranteed death benefit (if paid within the first six months following death).

All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of whether it is positive or negative,
including:

  • Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option;
  • Payment of a guaranteed death benefit due to the death of a spousal beneficiary or a joint contract holder who continued the account in his or her name after the death of the other joint contract holder;
  • Payment of a guaranteed death benefit more than six months after the date of death; and
  • Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (an MVA may not apply in certain situations, as noted above).

Calculation of the MVA
The amount of the MVA depends upon the relationship between:

  • The deposit period yield of U.S. Treasury Notes that will mature in the last quarter of the guaranteed term; and
  • The current yield of such U. S. Treasury Notes at the time of withdrawal.

If the current yield is less than the deposit period yield, the MVA will decrease the amount withdrawn from a
guaranteed term to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal request (the MVA will be positive). If the current yield is greater
than the deposit period yield, the MVA will increase the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term (the MVA will
be negative or detrimental to the investor).

Deposit Period Yield
We determine the deposit period yield used in the MVA calculation by considering interest rates prevailing during
the deposit period of the guaranteed term from which the transfer or withdrawal will be made. First, we identify the
Treasury Notes that mature in the last three months of the guaranteed term. Then, we determine their yield-to-
maturity percentages for the last business day of each week in the deposit period. We then average the resulting
percentages to determine the deposit period yield.

Treasury Note information may be found each business day in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, which
publishes the yield-to-maturity percentages for all Treasury Notes as of the preceding business day.

Current Yield
We use the same Treasury Notes identified for the deposit period yield to determine the current yield—Treasury
Notes that mature in the last three months of the guaranteed term. However, we use the yield-to-maturity
percentages for the last business day of the week preceding the withdrawal and average those percentages to get the
current yield.

MVA Formula
The mathematical formula used to determine the MVA is:

{ 1+i }X/365 
         1+j 

ILIAC Guaranteed Account (IICA)

I-9


where i is the deposit period yield; j is the current yield; and x is the number of days remaining (computed from
Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term. (For examples of how we calculate MVA, refer to
Appendix I.)

We make an adjustment in the formula of the MVA to reflect the period of time remaining in the guaranteed term
from the Wednesday of the week of a withdrawal.

  CONTRACT CHARGES

Certain charges may be deducted directly or indirectly from the funding options available under the contract,
including the Guaranteed Account.

The contract may have a maintenance fee of up to $30 that we will deduct, on an annual basis, pro-rata from all
funding options including the Guaranteed Account. We may also deduct a maintenance fee upon full withdrawal of
a contract.

The contract may have an early withdrawal charge that we will deduct, if applicable, upon a full or partial
withdrawal from the contract. If the withdrawal occurs prior to the maturity of a guaranteed term, both the early
withdrawal charge and an MVA may be assessed.

We do not deduct mortality and expense risk charges and other asset-based charges that may apply to variable
funding options from the Guaranteed Account. These charges are only applicable to the variable funding options.

We may deduct a charge for premium taxes of up to 4.0% from amounts in the Guaranteed Account.

During the accumulation phase, transfer fees of up to $10 per transfer may be deducted from amounts held in or
transferred from the Guaranteed Account.

Refer to the contract prospectus for details on contract deductions.

  OTHER TOPICS

The Company
ILIAC is a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of
insurance, banking and asset management. Through a merger, ILIAC’s operations include the business of Aetna
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an
Arkansas life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to May 1, 2002, ILIAC was known as Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company. Although we are a subsidiary of ING, ING is not responsible for the obligations
under the Contract. The obligations under the Contract are solely the responsibility of ILIAC.

Prior to January 1, 2006, Contracts offering the Guaranteed Account were issued by ING Insurance Company of
America (“IICA”), a wholly owned subsidiary. IICA was a life insurance company organized under the insurance
laws of the State of Connecticut in 1990 and redomesticated under the insurance laws of the State of Florida on
January 5, 2000. Prior to May 1, 2002, IICA was known as Aetna Insurance Company of America. Effective
December 31, 2005, IICA merged with and into ILIAC, and ILIAC assumed responsibility for IICA’s obligations
under the contracts.

Regulatory Matters
As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal
requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in
connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each
case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters.
Federal and state regulators and self-regulatory agencies are conducting broad inquiries and
investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other
things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-
competitive activity; reinsurance; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types
(including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry
investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have
received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each
request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These
initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services
industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S.
affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are
appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory
activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on
inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision;
arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document
retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its
own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of
mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify
any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and
other ING personnel.

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of
mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company , and
identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat
market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees
of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

Action may be taken by regulators with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations
relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject
certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments,
penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such
action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct
by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or
self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC.
Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any
indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

Income Phase
The Guaranteed Account may not be used as a funding option during the income phase. Amounts invested in
guaranteed terms must be transferred to one or more of the options available to fund income payments before
income payments can begin.

An aggregate MVA, as previously described, may be applied to amounts transferred to fund income payments
before the end of a guaranteed term. Amounts used to fund lifetime income payments will receive either a positive
aggregate MVA or none at all; however, amounts transferred to fund a nonlifetime income payment option may
receive either a positive or negative aggregate MVA.

Refer to the contract prospectus for a discussion of the income phase.

Investments
Amounts applied to the Guaranteed Account will be deposited to a nonunitized separate account operating pursuant
to Connecticut law. A nonunitized separate account is a separate account in which the contract holder does not
participate in the performance of the assets through unit values or any other interest. Prior to January 1, 2006,
amounts applied to the Guaranteed Account were held in a nonunitized separate account of ING Insurance Company
of America (“IICA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the merger of IICA with and
into the Company, this nonunitized separate account was transferred to the Company on December 31, 2005.

Contract holders allocating funds to the nonunitized separate account do not receive a unit value of ownership of
assets accounted for in this separate account. The risk of investment gain or loss is borne entirely by the Company.
All Company obligations due to allocations to the nonunitized separate account are contractual guarantees of the
Company and are accounted for in the separate account. All of the general assets of the Company are available to
meet our contractual guarantees. To the extent provided for in the applicable contract, the assets of the nonunitized
separate account are not chargeable with liabilities resulting from any other business of the Company. Income,
gains and losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to
other income, gains or losses of the Company.

Types of Investments. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities including:

  • Securities issued by the United States Government;
  • Issues of United States Government agencies or instrumentalities (these issues may or may not be guaranteed by the United States Government);
  • Debt securities which have an investment grade, at the time of purchase, within the four highest grades assigned by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (Aaa, Aa, A or Baa), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (AAA, AA, A or BBB) or any other nationally-recognized rating service;
  • Other debt instruments, including those issued or guaranteed by banks or bank holding companies, and of corporations, which although not rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or other nationally recognized rating services, are deemed by the Company’s management to have an investment-quality comparable to securities which may be purchased as stated above; and
  • Commercial paper, cash or cash equivalents and other short-term investments having a maturity of less than one year which are considered by the Company’s management to have investment quality comparable to securities which may be purchased as stated above.

We may invest in futures and options. We purchase financial futures, related options and options on securities
solely for non-speculative hedging purposes. Should securities prices be expected to decline, we may sell a futures
contract or purchase a put option on futures or securities to protect the value of securities held in or to be sold for the
nonunitized separate account. Similarly, if securities prices are expected to rise, we may purchase a futures contract
or a call option against anticipated positive cash flow or may purchase options on securities.

<R>

We are not obligated to invest the assets attributable to the contract according to any particular strategy,
except as required by state insurance laws. The guaranteed interest rates established by the Company may
not necessarily relate to the performance of the nonunitized separate account.

Taxation
You should seek advice from your tax adviser as to the application of federal (and where applicable, state and local)
tax laws to amounts paid to or distributed under the contract. Refer to the contract prospectus for a discussion of tax
considerations.

Taxation of the Company. We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. We own all assets
supporting the contract obligations. Any income earned on such assets is considered income to the Company. We
do not intend to make any provision or impose a charge under the contracts with respect to any tax liability of the
Company other than state premium taxes.

Taxation of Payments and Distributions. For information concerning the tax treatment of payments to and
distributions from the contract, please refer to the contract prospectus.

Legal Matters
The Company’s organization and authority, and the legality and validity of the guaranteed terms and the Guaranteed
Account, have been passed on by the Company’s legal department.

Experts
The consolidated financial statements of the Company appearing in the Company’s Annual Report (Form 10-K) for
the year ended December 31, 2007 (including schedules appearing therein), have been audited by Ernst & Young
LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon included therein, and are
included and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are included and incorporated
herein by reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of
business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes
include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover,
certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it
is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and
established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a
materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract, is a party to threatened or
pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of these suits may seek
class action suits and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages
and other types of relief. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion
of management, is likely to have material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the contract.

Examples of Market Value Adjustment Yields 

The following hypothetical examples show the MVA based upon a given current yield at various times remaining in
the guaranteed term. Table A illustrates the application of the MVA based upon a deposit period yield of 6%; Table
B illustrates the application of the MVA based upon a deposit period yield of 5%. The MVA will have either a
positive or negative influence on the amount withdrawn from or remaining in a guaranteed term. Also, the amount
of the MVA generally decreases as the end of the guaranteed term approaches.

PART I
Item 1. Business
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Organization of Business

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) is a stock life insurance

company domiciled in the state of Connecticut.

ILIAC and its wholly-owned

subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are providers of financial products and
services in the United States. ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business
in all states and in the District of Columbia.

The consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC
(“DSL”). ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings
Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING
Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is a global financial services holding company based in
The Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

On December 1, 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC, Directed Services, Inc. (“DSI”), a
New York corporation registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940,
whose primary functions were the distribution of variable insurance products and
investment advisory services for open-end mutual funds. Additionally, on December
12, 2006, ILIAC organized DSL as a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability
company. On December 31, 2006, DSI merged with and into DSL and ceased to
exist. Upon merger, the operations and broker-dealer and investment advisor
registrations of DSI were consolidated into DSL, the surviving company. Effective
January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement with certain variable funds
offered in Company products was assigned to DSL.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141, “Business
Combinations”, excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between
entities under common control, and notes that certain provisions under Accounting
Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations”, provide a
source of guidance for such transactions. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 16,
financial information of the combined entity is presented as if the entities had been
combined for the full year, and all comparative financial statements are restated and
presented as if the entities had previously been combined, in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interests. The consolidated financial statements give effect to the DSL
consolidation transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2004 and include the
following:

                     2006                         2005     

 
 
 
 
Total revenue    $ 594.9    $ 507.7 
Net income        35.8        28.2 

 
 
 
 
Additional paid-in capital:                 
   Dividends paid        25.0        20.5 

 
 
 
 
   Employee share-based payments        0.1        0.2

On May 11, 2006, ILIAC organized Northfield Windsor LLC (“NWL”) as a wholly-
owned subsidiary for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, developing, leasing,
and managing a new corporate office facility to be located at One Orange Way,
Windsor, Connecticut (the “Windsor Property”). Effective October 1, 2007, the
principal executive office of ILIAC was changed to One Orange Way, Windsor,
Connecticut.

On October 31, 2007, ILIAC’s subsidiary, NWL merged with and into ILIAC. As of
the merger date, NWL ceased to exist, and ILIAC became the surviving corporation.
The merger did not have an impact on ILIAC’s consolidated results of operations and
financial position, as NWL was a wholly-owned subsidiary and already included in
the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented since its formation.

Description of Business

The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a
variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored
retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, and
457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company’s products
are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-
sponsored groups in the health care, government, and education markets (collectively
“not-for-profit” organizations) and corporate markets. The Company’s products are
generally distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers,
third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

See “Reserves” for a discussion of the Company’s reserves by product type.

The Company has one operating segment, which offers the products described below.

Products and Services

Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (payout annuities)
annuity contracts. Company products also include programs offered to qualified
plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and
record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including
affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds and variable and fixed investment options.
In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement
plans, which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e., liquidity guarantees
of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under the terms of the
plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company.
The Company also offers investment advisory services and pension and retirement
savings plan administrative services.

Annuity contracts offered by the Company contain variable and fixed investment
options. Variable options generally provide for assumption by the customer of
investment risks. Assets supporting variable annuity options are held in separate
accounts that invest in mutual funds managed and/or distributed by ILIAC, its
affiliates, or unaffiliated entities. Variable separate account investment income and
realized capital gains and losses are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

  4


Fixed options are either “fully-guaranteed” or “experience-rated”. Fully-guaranteed
fixed options provide guarantees on investment returns and maturity values.
Experience-rated fixed options require the contractowner to assume certain
investment risks, including realized capital gains and losses on the sale of invested
assets, and other risks subject to, among other things, principal and interest
guarantees.

The Company’s variable annuities offer one or more of the following guaranteed
minimum death benefits:

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (“GMDBs”):

§      Standard - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the premiums paid by the contractowner, adjusted for any contract withdrawals.
 
§      Annual Ratchet - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) Standard or (2) the maximum contract anniversary value of the variable annuity.
 
§      Five Year Ratchet - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) Standard or (2) the maximum contract quinquennial anniversary value of the variable annuity.
 
§      Combination Annual Ratchet and 5% RollUp - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) Annual Ratchet or (2) aggregate premiums paid by the contractowner accruing interest at 5% per annum.
 
§      Combination Seven-Year Ratchet and 4% RollUp - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) a seven year ratchet or (2) aggregate premiums paid by the contractowner accruing interest at 4% per annum.
 

Products offering Annual Ratchet, Five Year Ratchet, Combination Ratchet and 5%
RollUp, and Combination Seven-Year Ratchet and 4% RollUp, guarantees are no
longer being sold by the Company.

Variable annuity contracts containing guaranteed minimum death benefits expose the
Company to equity risk. A decrease in the equity markets may cause a decrease in
the account values, thereby increasing the possibility that the Company may be
required to pay amounts to customers due to guaranteed death benefits. An increase
in the value of the equity markets may increase account values for these contracts,
thereby decreasing the Company’s risk associated with the GMDBs. Most contracts
with GMDBs are reinsured to third party reinsurers to mitigate the risk produced by
such guaranteed death benefits.

Fees and Margins

Insurance and expense charges, investment management fees, and other fees earned
by the Company vary by product and depend on, among other factors, the funding
option selected by the customer under the product. For annuity products where assets
are allocated to variable funding options, the Company may charge the separate
account asset-based insurance and expense fees.

5


In addition, where the customer selects a variable funding option, the Company may
receive compensation from the fund’s adviser, administrator, or other affiliated entity,
for the performance of certain services. The Company may also receive
administrative service, distribution (12b-1), and/or service plan fees from the funds in
which customers invest, in addition to compensation from the fund’s adviser,
administrator, or other affiliated entity for the performance of certain services.

For fixed funding options, the Company earns a margin that is based on the difference
between income earned on the investments supporting the liability and interest
credited to customers.

In connection with programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred
compensation plans that package administrative and recordkeeping services along
with a menu of investment options, the Company may receive 12b-1 and service plan
fees, as well as compensation from the affiliated or nonaffiliated fund’s advisor,
administrator, or other affiliated entity for the performance of certain shareholder
services.

The Company may also receive other fees or charges depending on the nature of the
products.

Strategy, Method of Distribution, and Principal Markets

The Company’s products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small
businesses, and employer-sponsored groups in not-for-profit organizations, and
corporate markets. The Company’s products generally are distributed through
pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators,
banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

The Company is not dependent upon any single customer and no single customer
accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenue in 2007. In addition, the loss
of business from any one, or a few, independent brokers or agents would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Assets Under Management and Administration

A substantial portion of the Company’s fees, or other charges and margins, are based
on general and separate account assets under management (“AUM”). General
account AUM represents assets in which the Company bears the investment risk,
while separate account AUM represent assets in which the contractowners bear the
investment risk. AUM is principally affected by net deposits (i.e., new deposits, less
surrenders and other outflows) and investment performance (i.e., interest credited to
contractowner accounts for fixed options or market performance for variable options).
A portion of the Company’s fee income is also based on assets under administration
(“AUA”), which are assets not included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance
Sheets and for which the Company provides administrative services only. The
general and separate account AUM, AUA, and deposits, were as follows at
December 31, 2007 and 2006.

   Fixed annuities    15,145.7    16,287.5 

 
 
Total annuities    58,115.2    56,280.4

Total assets under management         

 
 
   and administration    $ 87,375.1    $ 86,940.7 
   
 

AUM are generally available for contractowner withdrawal and are generally subject
to market value adjustments and/or deferred surrender charges. To encourage
customer retention and recover acquisition expenses, contracts typically impose a
surrender charge on contractowner balances withdrawn within a period of time after
the contract’s inception. The period of time and level of the charge vary by product.
In addition, an approach incorporated into certain recent variable annuity contracts
with fixed funding options allows contractowners to receive an incremental interest
rate if withdrawals from the fixed account are spread over a period of five years.
Further, more favorable credited rates may be offered after policies have been in force
for a period of time. Existing tax penalties on annuity and certain custodial account
distributions prior to age 59-1/2 provide further disincentive to customers for
premature surrenders of account balances, but generally do not impede transfers of
those balances to products of competitors.

Competition

Within the retirement services business, competition from traditional insurance
carriers, as well as banks, mutual fund companies, and other investment managers,
offers consumers many choices. Principal competitive factors are reputation for
investment performance, product features, service, cost, and the perceived financial
strength of the investment manager. Competition may affect, among other matters,
both business growth and the pricing of the Company’s products and services.

Reserves

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations
under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and
immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

7


Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and
individual immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to
cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net
of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in
future credited interest. Reserve interest rates vary by product and range from 1.6%
to 7.8% for the years 2007, 2006, and 2005. Certain reserves also include unrealized
gains and losses related to investments and unamortized realized gains and losses on
investments for experience-rated contracts. Reserves on experience-rated contracts
reflect the rights of contractowners, plan participants, and the Company. Reserves for
group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted
value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are
computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses,
including a margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by
annuity type plan, year of issue, and policy duration. For the years 2007, 2006, and
2005, reserve interest rates ranged from 5.1% to 5.9% .

The Company’s domestic individual life insurance business was disposed of on
October 1, 1998 via an indemnity reinsurance agreement. The Company includes an
amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals
the Company’s total individual life reserves. Individual life reserves are included in
Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As discussed under “Products and Services,” the Company also has guaranteed death
benefits included in variable annuities, which are included in reserves.

Reinsurance Arrangements

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to
losses from its annuity insurance business. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion
of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary
liability as the direct insurer of the risks. Reinsurance treaties are structured as yearly
renewable term, coinsurance, or modified coinsurance. All agreements that the
Company currently has relate to specifically-identified blocks of business or
contracts; therefore the agreements do not cover new contracts written, if any.

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the
disposition of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered
into an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with certain subsidiaries of Lincoln
National Corporation (“Lincoln”). At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company
had $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, related to reinsurance recoverable from
those subsidiaries of Lincoln. Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements
were assigned to a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust
to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually
monitors the financial strength and credit ratings of its reinsurers. Only those
reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets
on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investment Overview and Strategy

The Company’s investment strategy focuses on diversification by asset class. The
Company seeks to achieve economic diversification, while reducing overall credit
risk and liquidity risk. In addition, the Company seeks to mitigate the impact of cash
flow variability from embedded options within certain investment products, such as
prepayment options, interest rate options embedded in collateralized mortgage
obligations, and call options embedded in corporate bonds. The investment
management function is centralized under ING Investment Management LLC, an
affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Separate
portfolios are established for groups of products with similar liability characteristics
within the Company.

The Company’s general account invests primarily in fixed maturity investments,
including publicly issued bonds (including government bonds), privately placed notes
and bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The primary
investment strategy is to optimize the risk-adjusted return through superior asset
selection predicated on a developed relative value approach, credit research and
monitoring, superior management of interest rate risk, and active exploration into new
investment product opportunities. Investments are purchased when market returns,
adjusted for risk and expenses, are sufficient to profitably support growth of the
liability block of business. In addition, assets and liabilities are analyzed and reported
for internal management purposes on an option-adjusted basis. The level of required
capital of given transactions is a primary factor in determining relative value among
different investment and liability alternatives, within the scope of each product type’s
objective. An active review of existing holdings identifies specific assets that could
be effectively traded in order to enhance the risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio,
while minimizing adverse tax and accounting impacts. The Company strives to
maintain a portfolio weighted average asset quality rating of A, based on Standard &
Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings classifications. The weighted average excludes mortgage
loans, but includes mortgage-backed securities, which are reported with bonds.

The Company uses derivatives for hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s
exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk,
and market risk. In addition, the Company uses credit default swaps to reduce the
credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to
assume credit exposure to certain assets that the Company does not own. These
credit default swaps are similar in credit risk to bonds of the named issuer and allow
the Company to gain access to a broader, more diversified pool of credit risks. See
“Liquidity and Capital Resources - Derivatives” in Management’s Narrative Analysis
of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition for further discussion of the
Company’s use of derivatives.

Ratings

On August 23, 2005, S&P reaffirmed its AA (Very Strong) counterparty credit and
financial strength rating of ING’s primary U.S. insurance operating companies (“ING
U.S.”), including the Company. S&P also, on that date, affirmed the stable outlook
on the core insurance operating companies. There has been no change in S&P’s
rating of ING U.S., including the Company, since that date.

  9


On July 25, 2007, Moody’s Investor’s Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) affirmed the
financial strength rating of the Company, of Aa3 (Excellent) with a stable outlook.
On February 12, 2008, Moody’s assigned a short-term financial strength rating of
Prime-1 (P-1) and reaffirmed the long-term financial strength rating of Aa3. The
rating is based on the strong implicit support and financial strength of the parent
company, ING.

On May 11, 2007, A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) reaffirmed the financial
strength rating of A+ (Superior) of ING U.S., including the Company, with a stable
outlook. A.M. Best assigned an issuer credit rating of aa- to ILIAC at that time.

Regulation

The Company’s operations are subject to comprehensive regulation throughout the
United States. The laws of the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies,
including the state insurance departments, with broad authority to grant licenses to
transact business and regulate many aspects of the products and services offered by
the Company, as well as solvency and reserve adequacy. Many agencies also
regulate the investment activities of insurance companies on the basis of quality,
diversification, and other quantitative criteria. The Company’s operations and
accounts are subject to examination at regular intervals by certain of these regulators.

ILIAC is subject to the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut, where it is
domiciled, and other jurisdictions in which it transacts business. The primary
regulators of the Company’s insurance operations are the insurance departments of
Connecticut and New York. Among other matters, these agencies may regulate trade
practices, agent licensing, policy forms, underwriting and claims practices, minimum
interest rates to be credited to fixed annuity contractowner accounts, and the
maximum interest rates that can be charged on policy loans.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the self-regulatory organization which succeeded
to the regulatory functions of the National Association of Securities Dealers and the
New York Stock Exchange, and, to a lesser extent, the states, regulate the sales and
investment management activities and operations of the Company. Generally, the
Company’s variable annuity products and certain of its fixed annuities are registered
as securities with the SEC. Regulations of the SEC, Department of Labor, and
Internal Revenue Service also impact certain of the Company’s annuity and other
investment and retirement products. These products may involve separate accounts
and mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Company also provides a variety of products and services to employee benefit plans
that are covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Insurance Holding Company Laws

A number of states regulate affiliated groups that include insurers such as the
Company under holding company statutes. These laws, among other things, place
certain restrictions on investments in, or transactions with, affiliates and may require
prior approval of the payment of certain dividends by the Company to its parent.

  10


  Insurance Company Guaranty Fund Assessments

Insurance companies are assessed the costs of funding the insolvencies of other
insurance companies by the various state guaranty associations, generally based on
the amount of premiums companies collect in that state.

The Company accrues the cost of future guaranty fund assessments based on
estimates of insurance company insolvencies provided by the National Organization
of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations and the amount of premiums
written in each state. The Company has estimated this liability to be $7.9 as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company has also recorded an asset of $5.9 and
$5.6 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for future credits to premium
taxes for assessments already paid.

For information regarding certain other potential regulatory changes relating to the
Company’s businesses, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Employees and Other Shared Services

ILIAC had 2,076 employees as of December 31, 2007, primarily focused on
managing new business processing, product distribution, marketing, customer service,
and product management for the Company, as well as, providing product
development, actuarial, and finance services to the Company. The Company also
utilizes services provided by ING North America Insurance Corporation and other
affiliates. These services include risk management, human resources, investment
management, information technology, and legal and compliance services, as well as
other new business processing, actuarial, and finance related services. The affiliated
companies are reimbursed for the Company’s use of various services and facilities
under a variety of intercompany agreements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the normal risks of business, the Company is subject to significant risks
and uncertainties, including those which are described below.

Equity market volatility could negatively impact profitability and financial
condition

  The decline of the United States and international equity markets over an extended
period of time may reduce the profitability and negatively affect the financial
condition of the Company due to the following:

§      Sales of variable annuity products may decrease as prospective customers seek products with higher returns.
 
§      Account values of separate accounts that support variable annuity products may decrease, which results in a decrease in fees and profits earned on the accounts.
 
  The amount of fees the Company earns on variable annuity products is based on such account values.
 

11


§      If the Company’s expectations of future performance and profits decrease, it may be required to accelerate the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired, as applicable, decreasing profits.
 
§      If the Company’s net amount at risk under certain guaranteed minimum death benefits increases, the amount of required reserve increases. If reserves are not adequate, the Company may need to increase reserves through a charge to earnings.
 
  Changes in interest rates could have a negative impact on profitability and financial condition
 

Changes in interest rates may be caused by either changes in the underlying risk free
rates or changes in the credit spreads required for various levels of risk within the
market. Changes in interest rates may negatively affect the Company’s attempts to
maintain profitable margins between the amounts earned on its general account
investments and the amounts paid under its annuity contracts.

As interest rates rise, fixed annuity contract surrenders and withdrawals may increase
as contractowners seek higher returns. To raise the cash necessary to fund such
surrenders and withdrawals, the Company may need to sell assets at capital losses.
An increase in contract surrenders and withdrawals may also require the Company to
accelerate amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business
acquired, as applicable, relating to such contracts, further reducing profits. In
addition, rising interest rates increase unrealized losses for fixed maturities and
certain derivatives where the Company assumes credit exposure. Significant or
sustained increases in interest rates may result in increased other-than-temporary
impairments.

As interest rates decline, borrowers may prepay or redeem mortgages and bonds with
embedded call options that are owned as investments by the Company. This may
force the Company to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates.

All of the Company’s fixed annuity products, and the fixed account options included
in some of the Company’s annuity products, contain minimum interest rate
guarantees that limit the Company’s ability to lower interest rates credited to
contractowners in response to lower investment returns. A decrease in the difference
between earned investment income and the interest credited to contractowners further
reduces profits. This decrease in profits may also require the Company to accelerate
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired, as
applicable.

  The Company’s investment portfolio is subject to risks that may reduce the
value of invested assets and adversely affect sales, profitability, and investment
returns credited to contractowners

The Company’s investment portfolio is subject to several risks, including the
following:

12


§      An increase in defaults or delinquency in investment portfolios, including derivative contracts;
 
§      Greater difficulty selling privately placed and certain asset-backed fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans at attractive prices and in a timely manner, as all are less liquid than publicly traded fixed maturity securities;
 
§      Borrower prepayment or redemption, prior to maturity, of mortgages that back mortgage-backed securities and bonds with embedded call options could force the Company to reinvest proceeds at lower interest rates;
 
§      An increase in environmental liability exposure from the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio; and
 
§      Losses in the commercial mortgage loan portfolio as a result of economic downturns or natural disasters.
 
  Changes in underwriting and actual experience could materially affect profitability
 

The Company prices its products based on long-term assumptions regarding
investment returns, mortality, persistency, and operating costs. Management
establishes target returns for each product based upon these factors and the average
amount of regulatory and rating agency capital that the Company must hold to
support in-force contracts. The Company monitors and manages pricing and sales
mix to achieve target returns. Profitability from a new business emerges over a
period of years, depending on the nature and life of the product, and is subject to
variability as actual results may differ from pricing assumptions.

The Company’s profitability depends on the following:

§      Adequacy of investment margins;
 
§      Management of market and credit risks associated with investments;
 
§      Ability to maintain premiums and contract charges at a level adequate to cover mortality, benefits, and contract administration expenses;
 
§      Adequacy of contract charges on variable contracts to cover the cost of product features;
 
§      Persistency of policies to ensure recovery of acquisition expenses and value of business acquired, as applicable; and
 
§      Management of operating costs and expenses within anticipated pricing allowances.
 

A downgrade in the Company’s ratings may negatively affect profitability and
financial condition

Ratings are an important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance
companies. A downgrade, or the potential for a downgrade, of any of the Company’s
ratings may lead to lower margins and fee income due to lower assets under
management, resulting from:

13


§      Increase in annuity contract surrenders and withdrawals;
 
§      Termination of relationships with broker-dealers, banks, agents, wholesalers, and other distributors of products and services; and
 
§      Reduction of new annuity contract sales.
 

The Company cannot predict what actions rating organizations may take, or what
actions the Company may be required to take in response to the actions of rating
organizations, which could adversely affect the Company. Rating organizations
assign ratings based upon several factors, including the following:

§      Statutory capital;
 
§      Risk of investment portfolio;
 
§      Views of the rating organization;
 
§      Economic trends affecting the financial services industry;
 
§      Changes in models and formulas used by rating organizations to assess the financial strength of a rated company;
 
§      Enterprise risk management; and
 
§      Other circumstances outside the rated company’s control.
 
  The Company’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by general economic and business conditions or adverse capital market conditions that are less favorable than anticipated
 

Factors such as consumer spending, business investment, government spending, the
volatility and strength of capital markets and inflation affect the business and
economic environment and, ultimately, the amount and profitability of the
Company’s business. For example, in an economic downturn characterized by high
unemployment, lower family income, lower corporate earnings, lower business
investment and lower consumer spending, the demand for financial and insurance
products could be adversely affected. Additionally, slow growth and recessionary
periods are often associated with declining asset prices, lower interest rates, credit
rating agency downgrades and increasing default losses.

Adverse capital market conditions, such as that recently experienced with the
decrease in the value and liquidity of asset-backed securities supported by subprime
mortgages, as well as other investments, could also impact the cost of and ability of
the Company to issue debt, including commercial paper borrowings. While the
Company has various sources of liquidity available, adverse market conditions could
impact the cost and availability of these borrowing sources.

Competition could negatively affect the ability to maintain or increase
profitability

The insurance industry is intensely competitive. The Company competes based on
factors including the following:

§      Name recognition and reputation;
 
§      Service;
 
§      Investment performance;
 
§      Product features;
 
§      Price;
 

  14


§      Perceived financial strength; and
 
§      Claims paying and credit ratings.
 

The Company’s competitors include insurers, broker-dealers, financial advisors, asset
managers, and other financial institutions, which may, for example, have greater
market share, offer a broader range of products, or have higher claims-paying or
credit ratings than the Company.

In recent years, there has been substantial consolidation among companies in the
financial services industry resulting in increased competition from large, well-

capitalized financial services firms.

Many of these firms also have been able to

increase their distribution systems through mergers or contractual arrangements.
Furthermore, larger competitors may lower operating costs and have an ability to
absorb greater risk, while maintaining financial strength ratings, allowing them to
price products more competitively. While the Company cannot predict the future
level of consolidation, the Company expects consolidation to continue and perhaps
accelerate in the future, increasing competitive pressure.

  Changes in federal income tax law or interpretations of existing tax law could
affect profitability and financial condition by making some products less
attractive to contractowners and increasing tax costs of contractowners or the
Company

Annuity products that the Company sells currently benefit from one or more forms of
tax favored status under current federal tax law. The Economic Growth and Tax
Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and the Jobs Act and Growth Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2003 contain provisions that will, over time, significantly lower
individual tax rates. This decrease will reduce the benefits of deferral on the build-up
of value of annuities. Many of these provisions expire in 2008 and 2010. The Bush
Administration, however, has proposed that many of the rate reductions and tax-
favored savings initiatives be made permanent. Although the Company cannot
predict the overall effect on product sales, some of these tax law changes could hinder
sales and result in the increased surrender of annuity contracts.

Additionally, the Company is subject to federal corporation income tax, and benefits
from certain federal tax provisions, including but not limited to, dividends received
deductions, various tax credits, and insurance reserve deductions. There is risk that
changes to federal tax law or in Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) interpretation of
existing tax law may be enacted or adopted, and could result in materially higher
corporate taxes than would be incurred under existing tax law or interpretation and
adversely impact profitability.

Litigation may adversely affect profitability and financial condition

The Company is, and may be in the future, subject to legal actions in the ordinary
course of insurance, investment management, and other business operations. These
legal actions may include proceedings relating to aspects of businesses and operations
that are specific to the Company, and proceedings that are typical of the businesses in
which the Company operates. Some of these proceedings may be brought on behalf
of a class. Plaintiffs may seek large or indeterminate amounts of damage, including
compensatory, liquidated, treble, and/or punitive damages. Given the large or

  15


indeterminate amounts sometimes sought, and the inherent unpredictability of
litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome could, from time to time, have an
adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, results of operations, or cash flows, in
particular quarterly or annual periods.

Changes in regulation in the United States and recent regulatory investigations
may reduce profitability

The Company’s insurance and securities business is subject to comprehensive state
and federal regulation and supervision throughout the United States. The primary
purpose of state regulation is to protect contractowners, and not necessarily to protect

creditors and investors.

State insurance and securities regulators, state attorneys

general, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the SEC, the FINRA,
the Department of Labor and the IRS continually reexamine existing laws and
regulations and may impose changes in the future. Changes in legislation and
administrative policies, or new interpretations of existing laws, in areas such as
employee benefit plan regulation, financial services regulation, and federal taxation,
could lessen the competitive advantages of certain of the Company’s products, result
in the surrender of existing contracts and policies, increase costs, reduce new product
sales, or result in higher taxes affecting the Company, thus reducing the Company’s
profitability.

Since 2002, the insurance industry has become the focus of increased regulatory
scrutiny as various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory
organizations conduct inquiries and investigations into the products and practices of
the financial services industries. These initiatives currently focus on areas such as:

§      Inappropriate trading of fund shares;
 
§      Revenue sharing and directed brokerage;
 
§      Sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors);
 
§      Suitability;
 
§      Arrangements with service providers;
 
§      Pricing;
 
§      Product cost and fees;
 
§      Compensation and sales incentives;
 
§      Potential conflicts of interest;
 
§      Potential anti-competitive activity;
 
§      Reinsurance;
 
§      Specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and
 
§      Adequacy of disclosure.
 

It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will become broader before
they conclude.

In some cases, this regulatory scrutiny has led to new proposed legislation and
regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including
businesses in which the Company is engaged, or has resulted in regulatory penalties,
settlements, and litigation. At this time, the Company does not believe that any of
this regulatory scrutiny will have a material adverse affect on it. The Company
cannot guarantee, however, that new laws, regulations, and other regulatory actions
aimed at the business practices under scrutiny would not adversely affect its business.
The adoption of new laws and regulations, enforcement actions, or litigation, whether

  16


or not involving the Company, could influence the manner in which the Company
distributes its products, result in negative coverage of the industry by the media,
cause significant harm to the Company’s reputation, and adversely impact
profitability.

The Company’s products are subject to extensive regulation and failure to meet
any of the complex product requirements may reduce profitability

The Company’s insurance and annuity products are subject to a complex and
extensive array of state and federal tax, securities and insurance laws, and regulations,
which are administered and enforced by a number of different governmental and self-

regulatory

authorities,

including

state

insurance

regulators,

state

securities

administrators, the SEC, the FINRA, and the IRS.

For example, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to insurance
and annuity product design, administration, and investments that are conditions for
beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. Failure to
administer certain contract features (for example, contractual annuity start dates in
nonqualified annuities) could affect such beneficial tax treatment. Additionally, state
and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance
and annuity product design, offering and distribution, and administration. Failure to
meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject the
Company to administrative penalties imposed by a particular governmental or self-
regulatory authority, unanticipated costs associated with remedying such failure or
other claims, harm to the Company's reputation, interruption of the Company's
operations, or adversely impact profitability.

  A failure of the Company’s operating systems or a compromise of security with
respect to operating systems or portable electronic devices could adversely
affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition

The Company is highly dependent on automated systems to record and process
Company and contractowner transactions. The Company may experience a failure of
its operating systems or a compromise of its security due to technical system flaws,
clerical or record-keeping errors, or tampering or manipulation of those systems by
employees or unauthorized third parties. Information security risks also exist with
respect to the use of portable electronic devices, such as laptops, which are
particularly vulnerable to loss and theft. The Company may also be subject to
disruptions of its operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially
beyond its control (for example, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, epidemics,
computer viruses, and electrical/telecommunications outages). All of these risks are
also applicable where the Company relies on outside vendors to provide services to it
and its contractowners. Operating system failures or disruptions or the compromise
of security with respect to operating systems or portable electronic devices could
subject the Company to regulatory sanctions, or other claims, harm the Company’s
reputation, interrupt the Company’s operations, and adversely affect the Company’s
business, results of operations, or financial condition.

17


The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters may adversely affect the
Company’s results of operations and financial condition

  The Company is exposed to various risks arising from natural disasters, including
hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and pandemic disease, caused by a virus
such as H5N1 (the “Avian flu” virus), as well as man-made disasters, including acts
of terrorism and military actions, which may adversely affect assets under
management, results of operations and financial condition, as follows:

§      Losses in the Company’s investment portfolio due to significant volatility in global financial markets or the failure of counterparties to perform.
 
§      Changes in the rate of mortality, lapses and surrenders of existing policies/contracts, as well as sales of new policies/contracts.
 
§      Disruption of the Company’s normal business operations due to catastrophic property damage, loss of life, or disruption of public and private infrastructure, including communications and financial services.
 

  While the Company has a business continuation and crisis management plan, there
can be no assurance that the Company’s plan and insurance coverages would be
effective in mitigating any negative effects on operations or profitability in the event
of a disaster.

The occurrence of unidentified or unanticipated risks could negatively affect the
Company’s business or result in losses

  The Company has developed risk management policies and procedures and expects to
continue to do so in the future. Nonetheless, the Company’s policies and procedures
to identify, monitor, and manage risks may not be fully effective. Many of the
Company’s methods of managing risk and exposures are based upon observed
historical market behavior or statistics based on historical models. As a result, these
methods may not predict future exposures, which could be significantly greater than
historical measures indicate. Other risk management methods depend on the
evaluation of information regarding markets, clients, catastrophe occurrence, or other
matters, that is publicly available or otherwise accessible to the Company. This
information may not always be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated.
Management of operational, legal, and regulatory risks requires, among other things,
policies and procedures to record and verify large numbers of transactions and events.
These policies and procedures may not be fully effective.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Omitted as registrant is neither an accelerated filer nor a well-known seasoned issuer.

Item 2.

Properties

The Company’s home office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut,
06095-4774. All Company office space other than the home office is leased or
subleased by the Company or its other affiliates. The Company pays substantially all
expenses associated with its owned or leased and subleased office properties.

18


Affiliates within ING’s U.S. operations provide the Company with various
management, finance, investment management and other administrative services,
from facilities located at 5780 Powers Ferry Road, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30327-
4390. The affiliated companies are reimbursed for the Company’s use of these
services and facilities under a variety of intercompany agreements.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from
the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business
litigation/arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for
substantial compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages, and other types of
relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent
a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the
outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and
established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such
lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s
operations or financial position.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Omitted pursuant to General Instruction I(2)(c) of Form 10-K.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  There is no public trading market for the common stock of ING Life Insurance and
Annuity Company (“ILIAC”). All of ILIAC’s outstanding common stock is owned
by its parent, Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), a Connecticut
holding and management company. All of the outstanding common stock of Lion is
owned by ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), whose ultimate
parent is ING Groep N.V. (“ING”).

ILIAC’s ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of
insurance regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any
dividend, which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding 12
months, exceeds the greater of (1) ten percent (10%) of ILIAC’s statutory surplus at
the prior year end or (2) ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.

During 2007, 2006 and 2005, ILIAC paid $145.0, $256.0, and $20.5, respectively, in
dividends on its common stock to Lion.

During 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC, Directed Services, Inc., which had $50.5 in
equity on the date of contribution and was accounted for in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interests. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, ILIAC did not receive any cash
capital contributions from Lion.

Item 7. Management’s Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial

  Condition
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Overview

The following narrative analysis presents a review of the consolidated results of
operations of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and financial condition as of December 31, 2007
and 2006. This item should be read in its entirety and in conjunction with the
selected financial data, consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other
supplemental data, which can be found under Part II, Item 6. and Item 8. contained
herein.

Forward-Looking Information/Risk Factors

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions readers regarding certain
forward-looking statements contained in this report and in any other statements made
by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Forward-looking statements are statements not
based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies,
financial results, or other developments. Statements using verbs such as “expect,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” or words of similar import, generally involve forward-looking
statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements include
statements that represent the Company’s beliefs concerning future levels of sales and
redemptions of the Company’s products, investment spreads and yields, or the
earnings and profitability of the Company’s activities.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that
are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties
and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and many of
which are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements

made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

Whether or not actual results differ

materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable
and unforeseeable developments, including, but not limited to the following:

(1)      Equity market volatility could negatively impact profitability and financial condition;
 
(2)      Changes in interest rates could have a negative impact on profitability and financial condition;
 
(3)      The Company’s investment portfolio is subject to risks that may reduce the value of invested assets and adversely affect sales, profitability, and investment returns credited to contractowners;
 
(4)      Changes in underwriting and actual experience could materially affect profitability;
 
(5)      A downgrade in the Company’s ratings may negatively affect profitability and financial condition;
 

22


(6)      The Company’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by general economic and business conditions or adverse capital market conditions that are less favorable than anticipated;
 
(7)      Competition could negatively affect the ability to maintain or increase profitability;
 
(8)      Changes in federal income tax law or interpretations of existing tax law could affect profitability and financial condition by making some products less attractive to contractowners and increasing tax costs of contractowners or the Company;
 
(9)      Litigation may adversely affect profitability and financial condition;
 
(10)      Changes in regulation in the United States and recent regulatory investigations may reduce profitability;
 
(11)      The Company’s products are subject to extensive regulation and failure to meet any of the complex product requirements may reduce profitability;
 
(12)      A failure of the Company’s operating systems or a compromise of security with respect to operating systems or portable electronic devices could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition;
 
(13)      The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition; and
 
(14)      The occurrence of unidentified or unanticipated risks could negatively affect the Company’s business or result in losses.
 

Investors are also directed to consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in Items
1A., 7., and 7A. contained herein, as well as in other documents filed by the
Company with the SEC. Except as may be required by the federal securities laws, the
Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking information.

Basis of Presentation

ILIAC is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut.
ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are providers of financial products and
services in the United States. ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business
in all states and in the District of Columbia.

The consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC
(“DSL”). ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings
Inc., which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ING is a
global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands, with American
Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

On December 1, 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC, Directed Services, Inc. (“DSI”), a
New York corporation registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940,
whose primary functions were the distribution of variable insurance products and
investment advisory services for open-end mutual funds. Additionally, on
December 12, 2006, ILIAC organized DSL as a wholly-owned Delaware limited
liability company. On December 31, 2006, DSI merged with and into DSL and
ceased to exist. Upon merger, the operations and broker-dealer and investment
advisor registrations of DSI were consolidated into DSL, the surviving company.

23


Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement with certain
variable funds offered in Company products was assigned to DSL.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141, “Business
Combinations”, excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between
entities under common control, and notes that certain provisions under Accounting
Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations”, provide a
source of guidance for such transactions. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 16,
financial information of the combined entity is presented as if the entities had been
combined for the full year, and all comparative financial statements are restated and
presented as if the entities had previously been combined, in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interests. The consolidated financial statements give effect to the DSL
consolidation transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2004 and include the
following:

                     2006                         2005     

 
 
 
 
Total revenue    $ 594.9    $ 507.7 
Net income        35.8        28.2 

 
 
 
 
Additional paid-in capital:                 
   Dividends paid        25.0        20.5 

 
 
 
 
   Employee share-based payments        0.1        0.2 

On May 11, 2006, ILIAC organized Northfield Windsor LLC (“NWL”) as a wholly-
owned subsidiary for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, developing, leasing,
and managing a new corporate office facility to be located at One Orange Way,
Windsor, Connecticut (the “Windsor Property”). Effective October 1, 2007, the
principal executive office of ILIAC was changed to One Orange Way, Windsor,
Connecticut.

On October 31, 2007, ILIAC’s subsidiary, NWL merged with and into ILIAC. As of
the merger date, NWL ceased to exist, and ILIAC became the surviving corporation.
The merger did not have an impact on ILIAC’s consolidated results of operations and
financial position, as NWL was a wholly-owned subsidiary and already included in
the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented since its formation.

The Company has one operating segment.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions
in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. These estimates and
assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis based on historical developments,
market conditions, industry trends, and other information that is reasonable under the
circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will conform to estimates
and assumptions, and that reported results of operations will not be materially
adversely affected by the need to make future accounting adjustments to reflect
changes in these estimates and assumptions from time to time.

24


The Company has identified the following estimates as critical in that they involve a
higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
reserves, valuation of investments and other-than-temporary impairments, and
amortization of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired
(“VOBA”). In developing these estimates, management makes subjective and
complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material changes as
facts and circumstances develop. Although variability is inherent in these estimates,
management believes the amounts provided are appropriate based upon the facts
available upon compilation of the consolidated financial statements.

Reserves

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations
under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and
immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and
individual immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to
cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net
of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in
future credited interest. Reserve interest rates vary by product and range from 1.6%
to 7.8% for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005. Certain reserves also include unrealized
gains and losses related to investments and unamortized realized gains and losses on
investments for experience-rated contracts. Reserves on experience-rated contracts
reflect the rights of contractowners, plan participants, and the Company. Reserves for
group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted
value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are
computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses,
including a margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by
annuity type plan, year of issue, and policy duration. For the years 2007, 2006 and
2005, reserve interest rates ranged from 5.1% to 5.9% .

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the
disposition of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered
into an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with certain subsidiaries of Lincoln
National Corporation (“Lincoln”). Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance
agreements were assigned to a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary
established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance
transaction. The Company includes an amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals the Company’s total individual life
reserves. Individual life reserves are included in Future policy benefits and claims
reserves of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  25


Certain variable annuity contracts offer guaranteed minimum death benefits
(“GMDB”). The GMDB is accrued in the event the customer’s account value at death

is below the guaranteed value and is included in reserves.
“Products and Services”, for a description of the GMDBs.

See Item I, Business,

Valuation of Investments and Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

All of the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are currently designated
as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and
unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in
Shareholder’s equity, after adjustment for related changes in experience-rated
contract allocations, DAC, VOBA, and deferred income taxes.

The fair values for fixed maturities are largely determined by one of two pricing
methods: published price quotations or valuation techniques with market inputs.
Security pricing is applied using a hierarchy or “waterfall” approach, whereby prices
are first sought from published price quotations, including pricing services or broker-
dealer quotations. Published price quotations may be unavailable or deemed
unreliable due to a limited market for securities that are rarely traded or are traded
only in privately negotiated transactions. As such, fair values for the remaining
securities, consisting primarily of privately placed bonds, are then determined using
risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and
cash flow characteristics of the security.

The fair values for actively traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices.
For equity securities not actively traded, estimated fair values are based upon values
of issues of comparable yield and quality or conversion value, where applicable.

The fair values for short-term investments are based on quoted market prices.

Derivative instruments are reported at fair value primarily using the Company’s
derivative accounting system. The system uses key financial data, such as yield
curves, exchange rates, Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London
Inter Bank Offered Rates, which are obtained from third party sources and uploaded
into the system. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting
system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third party brokers.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could
be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing
parties. As such, the estimated fair value of a financial instrument may differ
significantly from the amount that could be realized if the security was sold
immediately.

The Company’s accounting policy requires that a decline in the value of an
investment below its amortized cost basis be assessed to determine if the decline is
other-than-temporary. If so, the investment is deemed to be other-than-temporarily
impaired, and a charge is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) equal to the
difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis of the investment. The fair
value of the other-than-temporarily impaired investment becomes its new cost basis.

26


The evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments included in the Company’s
general account is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and
uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of
investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and
uncertainties include the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been
less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects,
future economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company’s intent and
ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in
fair value.

In addition, the Company invests in structured securities that meet the criteria of
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest
Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”). Under EITF 99-20, a determination of the
required impairment is based on the analysis discussed in the preceding paragraph, as
well as credit risk and the possibility of significant prepayment risk that restricts the
Company’s ability to recover the investment. An impairment is recognized if the fair
value of the security is less than amortized cost and there has been an adverse change
in cash flow since the last remeasurement date.

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to
amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting,
contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and
renewal business.

VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase
accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization. The
value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the
Company’s contracts.

FAS No. 97, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-
Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments”
(“FAS No. 97”), applies to universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed
and variable deferred annuities. Under FAS No. 97, DAC and VOBA are amortized,
with interest, over the life of the related contracts in relation to the present value of
estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins, plus
surrender charges.

Contractowners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make
modifications to an existing contract. Beginning January 1, 2007, these transactions
are identified as internal replacements and are accounted for in accordance with
Statement of Position (“SOP”) 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for
Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of
Insurance Contracts” (“SOP 05-1”).

  27


Internal replacements that are determined to result in substantially unchanged
contracts are accounted for as continuations of the replaced contracts. Any costs
associated with the issuance of the new contracts are considered maintenance costs
and expensed as incurred. Unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced
contracts continue to be deferred and amortized in connection with the new contracts,
as follows:

§      For deferred annuities, the estimated future gross profits of the new contracts are treated as revisions to the estimated future gross profits of the replaced contracts in the determination of amortization.
 
§      As of January 1, 2007, internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances
and amortization rates. Several assumptions are considered significant in the
estimation of future gross profits associated with variable universal life and variable
deferred annuity products. One of the most significant assumptions involved in the
estimation of future gross profits is the assumed return associated with the variable
account performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on
multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying sub-accounts among
bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. Other significant
assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread, and
estimated mortality.

Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of
DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs quarterly and annual analyses of
DAC and VOBA for the annuity and life businesses, respectively. The DAC and
VOBA balances are also evaluated for recoverability.

At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated
future gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued
reasonableness. Any adjustment in estimated future gross profits requires that the
amortization rate be revised (“unlocking”) retroactively to the date of the policy or
contract issuance. The cumulative unlocking adjustment is recognized as a
component of current period amortization. In general, sustained increases in
investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future profits, lower
the rate of amortization. However, sustained decreases in investment, mortality, and
expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, increase the rate of
amortization.

For interest rate and equity sensitivity and related effects on DAC and VOBA, see
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Results of Operations

Overview

Products offered by the Company include qualified and nonqualified annuity
contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and
employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections
401, 403, 408, and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

The Company derives its revenue mainly from (a) fee income generated from
separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contract
investments, as designated by contractowners, (b) investment income earned on assets
supporting fixed assets under management (“AUM”), mainly generated from annuity
products with fixed investment options, and (c) certain other fees. The Company’s
expenses primarily consist of (a) interest credited and other benefits to
contractowners, (b) amortization of DAC and VOBA, (c) expenses related to the
selling and servicing of the various products offered by the Company, and (d) other
general business expenses. In addition, the Company collects broker-dealer
commissions through its subsidiary DSL, which are, in turn, paid to broker-dealers
and expensed.

Economic Analysis

The current economic environment presents challenges for the Company and the
insurance industry. The Company’s sales and financial results continue to be affected
by economic trends.

Equity market performance affects the Company, as fee revenue from variable AUM
is generally affected by equity market performance. In addition, variable product
demand often mirrors consumer demand for equity market investments. Sales and
favorable investment performance in the variable product lines during 2007 favorably
impacted variable AUM in 2007.

While the interest rate environment during 2007 has resulted in an increase in
unrealized losses as compared to 2006, overall increases in market yields have
allowed for improved asset returns, and, therefore, improved margins on fixed
products during 2007.

  29


  Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to year ended December 31, 2006

The Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, and
changes therein, were primarily impacted by net amortization of DAC and VOBA
and operating expenses, partially offset by fee income resulting from higher average
variable AUM and favorable net margins on average fixed AUM.

Revenues

  Total revenue increased for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily reflecting
increases in Fee income and Net investment income and partially offset by an
increase in Net realized capital losses and a decrease in Other income.

Fee income increased for the year ended December 31, 2007, as overall average
variable AUM increased, driven by continuing increase in sales and favorable
investment performance in variable product lines.

The increase in Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2007, was
mainly due to favorable yields on investments supporting average fixed AUM.

The increase in Premiums for the year ended December 31, 2007, was entirely offset
by the Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners.

30


The increase in Net realized capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2007,
was primarily due to realized losses on derivatives, primarily related to losses on
interest rate swaps and the widening of credit spreads.

Other income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to higher
commissions, primarily on the sales of retirement products, during 2006 as compared
to 2007.

Benefits and Expenses

Total benefits and expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2007,
primarily due to increases in Amortization of DAC and VOBA, Operating expenses,
and Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners.

The increase in Amortization of DAC and VOBA for the year ended December 31,
2007, was primarily driven by an increase in actual gross profits related to higher fee

income and fixed margins in 2007.

In addition, amortization for the year ended

December 31, 2006 was lower due to favorable unlocking, as a result of prospective
expense assumption changes.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased in conjunction
with the growth of the business and were primarily driven by higher operating
expenses and commissions. The increase in commissions was due to higher renewal
premiums and higher average variable AUM.

Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners increased for the year ended
December 31, 2007, primarily driven by the increase in reserves associated with
minimum guarantees on variable annuities due to the widening of credit spreads in
the fourth quarter of 2007.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily due
to the audit settlement with the State of Connecticut, dividends received deduction,
and lower income before taxes.

Year ended December 31, 2006 compared to year ended December 31, 2005

The Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, and
changes therein, were primarily impacted by DAC and VOBA unlocking, as well as
increases in variable AUM which were driven by changing equity markets and cash
flows. Regulatory settlements and interest rate movements had an unfavorable
impact on the Company’s operations.

Revenues

Total revenue increased for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to
increases in Fee income and Commission revenue, partially offset by a decrease in
Net realized capital gains.

Fee income increased as overall average variable AUM increased, driven by
favorable equity market conditions and net cashflow during 2006.

Net realized capital gains decreased due to higher losses on derivatives, partially
offset by realized capital gains on fixed maturities.

Benefits and Expenses

Total benefits and expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006,
primarily due to a decrease in Amortization of DAC and VOBA, partially offset by
higher Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners and Operating expenses.

Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners increased for the year ended
December 31, 2006, primarily due to regulatory settlements.

32


Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased due to higher
non-deferred commission expense and the continued growth of the business during
2006.

The decrease in Amortization of DAC and VOBA in 2006, is primarily driven by
favorable unlocking of $83.3, due to assumption changes and model refinements. In
addition, the decrease in amortization reflects lower actual gross profits, primarily
due to legal a settlement incurred in 2006.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to
the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit settlement in the third quarter of 2005,
which related to the Company's tax returns for the years 2000 and 2001. The
provision for the year ended December 31, 2005, reflected non-recurring favorable
adjustments, due to a reduction in the tax liability that was no longer deemed
necessary based on the results of the IRS examination, monitoring the activities of the
IRS with respect to certain issues with other taxpayers, and the merits of the
Company's positions.

Investment Strategy

The Company’s investment strategy focuses on diversification by asset class. The
Company seeks to achieve economic diversification, while reducing overall credit
risk and liquidity risks. In addition, the Company seeks to mitigate the impact of cash
flow variability from embedded options within certain investment products, such as
prepayment options, interest rate options embedded in collateralized mortgage
obligations, and call options embedded in corporate bonds. The investment
management function is centralized under ING Investment Management LLC, an
affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Separate
portfolios are established for groups of products with similar liability characteristics
within the Company.

The Company’s general account invests primarily in fixed maturity investments,
including publicly issued bonds (including government bonds), privately placed notes
and bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The primary
investment strategy is to optimize the risk-adjusted return through superior asset
selection predicated on a developed relative value approach, credit research and
monitoring, superior management of interest rate risk, and active exploration into new
investment product opportunities. Investments are purchased when market returns,
adjusted for risk and expenses, are sufficient to profitably support growth of the
liability block of business. In addition, assets and liabilities are analyzed and reported
for internal management purposes on an option-adjusted basis. The level of required
capital of given transactions is a primary factor in determining relative value among
different investment and liability alternatives, within the scope of each product type’s
objective. An active review of existing holdings identifies specific assets that could
be effectively traded in order to enhance the risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio,

  33


while minimizing adverse tax and accounting impacts.

The Company strives to

maintain a portfolio weighted average asset quality rating of A, based on Standard &

Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings classifications.

The weighted average excludes mortgage

  loans, but includes mortgage-backed securities which are reported with bonds.

The Company uses derivatives for hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s
exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk,
and market risk. In addition, the Company uses credit default swaps to reduce the
credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to
assume credit exposure to certain assets that the Company does not own. These
credit default swaps are similar in credit risk to bonds of the named issuer and allow
the Company to gain access to a broader, more diversified pool of credit risks. See
“Liquidity and Capital Resources - Derivatives” for further discussion of the
Company’s use of derivatives.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s carrying value of fixed maturities,
available-for-sale, including securities pledged to creditors, (hereinafter referred to as
“total fixed maturities”) represented 79.6% and 85.3%, respectively, of the total
general account invested assets. For the same periods, $10,179.9, or 71.4% of total
fixed maturities, and $13,505.3, or 83.3% of total fixed maturities, respectively,
supported experience-rated products.

It is management’s objective that the portfolio of fixed maturities be of high quality
and be well diversified by market sector. The fixed maturities in the Company’s
portfolio are generally rated by external rating agencies and, if not externally rated,
are rated by the Company on a basis believed to be similar to that used by the rating
agencies. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the average qualify rating of the
Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was AA-. Ratings are calculated using a rating
hierarchy that considers S&P, Moody’s Investor’s Service, Inc., and internal ratings.

  94.4% and 95.4% of fixed maturities were invested in securities rated BBB and above
(Investment Grade) at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Fixed maturities rated BB and below (Below Investment Grade) may have
speculative characteristics, and changes in economic conditions or other
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the issuer to make
principal and interest payments than is the case with higher rated fixed maturities.

The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations
of the U.S. government and government agencies, with a carrying value in excess of
10% of the Company’s shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, fixed maturities with fair values of $13.9 and $11.2,
respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

The Company invest in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations
(“CMOs”) that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates
and, for CMOs that are not agency-backed, defaults. The principal risks inherent in
holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and
increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying
mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 2007
and 2006, approximately 11.3% and 8.4%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO
holdings were invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more
prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs, such as interest-only or
principal-only strips.

Equity Securities

Equity securities, available-for-sale, included investments with fair values of $279.5
and $219.5 in ING proprietary funds as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Subprime Mortgage Exposure

Credit markets have recently become more turbulent amid concerns about subprime
mortgages and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”). This in turn has resulted in
a general widening of credit spreads, reduced price transparency, reduced liquidity,
increased rating agency downgrades and increased volatility across certain markets.

To date, this market disruption has had a limited impact on the Company, which does
not originate or purchase subprime or Alt-A whole-loan mortgages. Subprime lending
is the origination of loans to customers with weaker credit profiles. The Company
defines Alt-A Loans to include residential mortgage loans to customers who have
strong credit profiles but lack some element(s), such as documentation to substantiate

38


income. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company expanded its
definition of Alt-A loans to include residential mortgage loans to borrowers that
would otherwise be classified as prime but whose loan structure provides repayment
options to the borrower that increase the risk of default. Further, during the fourth
quarter, the industry coalesced around classifying any residential mortgage backed
securities (“RMBS”) not clearly identifiable as prime or subprime into the Alt-A

category and the Company is following that lead.

The following summarizes the

Company’s exposure to subprime and Alt-A mortgages as of December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2007, the fair value and gross unrealized losses related to the
Company’s exposure to subprime mortgages was $410.2 and $32.9, respectively,
representing 2.3% of total investments. 95.5% of these securities were rated “AAA”
or “AA”. This exposure was primarily in the form of asset-backed securities (“ABS”)
structures, collateralized by subprime residential mortgages (“ABS Home Equity”)
and one CDO position backed by ABS Home Equity. Of the total subprime
residential mortgage backed securities portfolio, 35.7% were issued in 2007, 14.8% in
2006, and 49.5% in 2005 and prior. The ABS CDO had no unrealized loss and a fair
value of $0.4 at December 31, 2007.

The Company’s exposure to Alt-A mortgages was concentrated in RMBS, and the
fair value and gross unrealized losses aggregated to $1.3 billion and $38.1,
respectively, representing 7.2% of total investments at December 31, 2007. 99.9% of
these securities were AAA-rated. The Alt-A mortgage backed securities portfolio
included 28.4% issued in 2007, 12.9% in 2006, and 58.7% in 2005 and prior.

Total RMBS (including CMO and ABS structures) was $4.2 billion with 9.8%
consisting of subprime residential mortgage backed securities and 30.4% consisting
of Alt-A mortgage backed securities. The RMBS portfolio is of high credit quality
with 100.0% of the portfolio rated AAA. Further, 12.4% of the RMBS portfolio was
issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie
Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), or
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”), which
are government agencies or instrumentalities that guarantee the credit quality of the
underlying mortgage pools.

Commercial Mortgage-backed and Other Asset-backed Securities

While the delinquency rates on commercial mortgages have been stable in recent
years, commercial real estate rents and property values have recently become more
volatile. In addition, there are growing concerns with consumer loans as a result of
the current economic environment, which includes lower family income and higher
unemployment rates.

At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Company’s Commercial mortgage-
backed securities (“CMBS”) totaled $1.9 billion, and Other ABS, excluding subprime
exposure, totaled $512.8. CMBS investments represent pools of commercial
mortgages that are broadly diversified across property types and geographical areas.
The Other ABS is also broadly diversified both by type and issuer with credit card
receivables, automobile receivables, public utility and collateralized loan obligations
comprising 34.5%, 18.8%, 17.6% and 13.3%, respectively, of total Other ABS,
excluding subprime exposure.

holdings by credit quality and vintage year as of December 31, 2007:

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

Mortgage loans on real estate, primarily commercial mortgage loans, totaled $2,089.4
and $1,879.3 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These loans are reported
at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs. If the value of any mortgage loan is
determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable
to collect on all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present
value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest
rate, or fair value of the collateral. If the loan is in foreclosure, the carrying value is
reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain
and sell. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a
permanent write-down charged to Net realized capital gains (losses). At
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no allowance for mortgage loan
credit losses. The properties collateralizing mortgage loans are geographically
dispersed throughout the United States, with the largest concentration of 16.8% and
17.7% and of properties in California at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Of the unrealized capital losses aged more than twelve months, the average market
value of the related fixed maturities was 96.9% of the average book value as of
December 31, 2007. In addition, this category includes 761 securities, which have an
average quality rating of AA. No other-than-temporary impairment loss was
considered necessary for these fixed maturities as of December 31, 2007.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there
has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis.
Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has
been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term
prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and
the Company’s intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow
for recovery in fair value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of an investment will not be collected, an other-than-temporary
impairment is considered to have occurred.

In addition, the Company invests in asset-backed securities. Determination of the
required impairment is based on the analysis discussed in the preceding paragraph, as
well as credit risk and the possibility of significant prepayment risk that restricts the
Company’s ability to recover the investment. An impairment is recognized if the fair
value of the security is less than book value and there has been an adverse change in
cash flow since the last remeasurement date.

42


When a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the individual
security is written down to fair value, and the loss is recorded in Net realized capital
gains (losses).

The following table identifies the Company’s other-than-temporary impairments by
type for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

prepayment risk. The remaining $59.6, $42.6, and $5.7 in write-downs for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, are related to investments
that the Company does not have the intent to retain for a period of time sufficient to
allow for recovery in fair value. The following table summarizes these write-downs

The Company may sell securities during the period in which fair value has declined
below amortized cost for fixed maturities or cost for equity securities. In certain
situations new factors, including changes in the business environment, can change the
Company’s previous intent to continue holding a security.

Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)

Net realized capital gains (losses) are comprised of the difference between the
amortized cost of investments and proceeds from sale and redemption, as well as
losses incurred due to other-than-temporary impairment of investments and changes
in fair value of derivatives. The cost of the investments on disposal is determined
based on specific identification of securities. Net realized capital gains (losses) on
investments were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

    2007    2006    2005 

 
 
 
Fixed maturities, available-for-sale    $ (50.3)    $ (67.0)    $ 1.0 
Equity securities, available-for-sale    6.4    9.3    12.4 

 
 
 
Derivatives    (123.0)    (3.9)    17.9 
Other    (2.6)    -    (0.3) 

 
 
 
Less: allocation to experience-rated contracts    161.3    (64.6)    9.0 
   
 
 
Net realized capital (losses) gains    $ (8.2)    $ 3.0    $ 22.0 

 
 
 
After-tax net realized capital (losses) gains    $ (5.3)    $ 2.0    $ 14.3 
   
 
 

The increase in Net realized capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2007, was
primarily due to realized losses on derivatives, primarily related to losses on interest
rate swaps and widening of credit spreads.

Net realized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts were
deducted from Net realized capital gains (losses) and an offsetting amount was
reflected in Future policy benefits and claim reserves on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Net unamortized realized capital gains allocated to experienced-rated
contractowners were $53.8, $164.5, and $240.3, at December 31, 2007, 2006, and
2005, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of the Company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the
cash requirements of operating, investing, and financing activities.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment
income, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, and capital
contributions. Primary uses of these funds are payments of commissions and
operating expenses, interest credits, investment purchases, and contract maturities,
withdrawals, and surrenders.

The Company’s liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of
liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Company’s
operations, including investment decisions, product development, and determination
of crediting rates. As part of the risk management process, different economic
scenarios are modeled, including cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory
purposes, to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet projected liability
cash flows. Key variables in the modeling process include interest rates, anticipated
contractowner behavior, and variable separate account performance. Contractowners

  44


bear the investment risk related to variable annuity products, subject, in limited cases,
to certain minimum guaranteed rates.

The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio, principally
composed of fixed rate investments with matching duration characteristics that can
generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for
the fixed account considers the assets available-for-sale. This strategy enables the
Company to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative
values of asset sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and
other relevant factors. The objective of portfolio management is to maximize returns,
taking into account interest rate and credit risk, as well as other risks. The
Company’s asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize
exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Additional sources of liquidity include borrowing facilities to meet short-term cash

requirements that arise in the ordinary course of business.

ILIAC maintains the

following agreements:

§      A reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH, an affiliate, whereby either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of ILIAC’s statutory admitted assets as of the prior December 31. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, ILIAC had no amount due to ING AIH under the reciprocal loan agreement. As of December 31, 2007, ILIAC had no amount due from ING AIH under the reciprocal loan agreement and $45.0 receivable from ING AIH as of December 31, 2006.
 
§      A $100.0 uncommitted, perpetual revolving note facility with the Bank of New York. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the revolving note facility.
 
§      A $75.0 uncommitted line-of-credit agreement with PNC Bank. Borrowings are guaranteed by ING AIH, with maximum aggregate borrowings outstanding at anytime to ING AIH and its affiliates of $75.0. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the line-of-credit agreement.
 
§      A $100.0 uncommitted line-of-credit agreement with Svenska Handelsbanken AB (Publ.), effective June 2, 2006. Borrowings are guaranteed by ING AIH, with maximum aggregate borrowings outstanding at anytime to ING AIH and its affiliates of $100.0. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the line-of-credit agreement.
 

Management believes that these sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the
Company’s short-term cash obligations.

Financing Agreement

As of June 1, 2007, the State of Connecticut, acting by the Department of Economic
and Community Development (“DECD”), loaned ILIAC $9.9 (the “DECD Loan”) in
connection with the development of the Windsor Property. The loan has a term of
twenty years and bears an annual interest rate of 1.00% . As long as no defaults have
occurred under the loan, no payments of principal or interest are due for the initial ten
years of the loan. For the second ten years of the DECD Loan term, ILIAC is
obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest.

45


The DECD Loan provides for loan forgiveness at varying amounts up to $4.0 if
ILIAC and its affiliates meet certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property
during the term of the loan. ILIAC’s obligations under the DECD Loan are secured
by an unlimited recourse guaranty from its affiliate, ING North America Insurance
Corporation.

Capital Contributions and Dividends

During 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC DSI, which had $50.5 in equity on the date
of contribution and was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests.
During 2007, 2006, and 2005, ILIAC did not receive any cash capital contributions
from its parent.

During 2007, 2006, and 2005, ILIAC paid $145.0, $256.0, and $20.5, respectively, in
dividends on its common stock to its parent.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet
specific investment objectives of contractowners who bear the investment risk,
subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guarantees. Investment income and
investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to such contractowners. The
assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise
out of any other business of the Company or its affiliates.

Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts
are invested, as designated by the contractowner or participant (who bears the
investment risk subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guaranteed rates) under
a contract, in shares of mutual funds that are managed by affiliates of the Company,
or in other selected mutual funds not managed by affiliates of the Company.

Variable annuity deposits are allocated to various subaccounts established within the
separate account. Each subaccount represents a different investment option into
which the contractowner may allocate deposits. The account value of a variable
annuity contract is equal to the aggregate value of the subaccounts selected by the
contractowner (including the value allocated to any fixed account), less fees and
expenses. The Company offers investment options for its variable annuity contracts
covering a wide range of investment styles, including large, mid, and small cap equity
funds, as well as fixed income alternatives. Therefore, unlike fixed annuities, under
variable annuity contracts, contractowners bear the risk of investment gains and
losses associated with the selected investment allocation. The Company, however,
offers certain guaranteed benefits (described below) under which it bears specific
risks associated with these benefits. Many of the variable annuities issued by the
Company are combination contracts offering both variable and fixed deferred annuity
options under which some or all of the deposits may be allocated by the
contractowner to a fixed account available under the contract.

  46


The Company’s major source of income from variable annuities is the base contract
mortality fees, expense fees, and guaranteed death benefit rider fees charged to the
contractowner, less the cost of administering the product, as well as the cost of
providing for the guaranteed death benefits.

Minimum Guarantees

Variable annuity contracts containing minimum guarantees expose the Company to
additional risks. For guaranteed minimum death benefits, a decrease in the equity
markets may cause a decrease in the account values, thereby increasing the possibility
that the Company may be required to pay amounts to contractowners due to

guaranteed death benefits.

An increase in the value of the equity markets may

increase account values for these contracts, thereby decreasing the Company’s risk
associated with guaranteed death benefits.

The Company’s variable annuities offer one or more of the following guaranteed
minimum benefits:

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (“GMDBs”):

§      Standard - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the premiums paid by the contractowner, adjusted for any contract withdrawals.
 
§      Annual Ratchet - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) Standard or (2) the maximum contract anniversary value of the variable annuity.
 
§      Five Year Ratchet - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) Standard or (2) the maximum contract quinquennial anniversary value of the variable annuity.
 
§      Combination Annual Ratchet and 5% RollUp - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) Annual Ratchet or (2) aggregate premiums paid by the contractowner accruing interest at 5% per annum.
 
§      Combination Seven-Year Ratchet and 4% RollUp - Guarantees that, upon death, the death benefit will be no less than the greater of (1) a seven year ratchet or (2) aggregate premiums paid by the contractowner accruing interest at 4% per annum.
 

Products offering Annual Ratchet, Five Year Ratchet, Combination Ratchet and 5%
RollUp, and Combination Seven-Year Ratchet and 4% RollUp, guarantees are no
longer being sold by the Company. Most contracts with GMDBs are reinsured to
third party reinsurers to mitigate the risk produced by such guaranteed death benefits.

Other Minimum Guarantees

Other variable annuity contracts contain minimum interest rate guarantees and allow
the contractholder to select either the market value of the account or the book value of
the account at termination. The book value of the account is equal to deposits plus
interest, less any withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as derivatives
under FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”
(“FAS No. 133”). At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the guaranteed benefits
was $78.1. The guaranteed benefits had no fair value at December 31, 2006.

  47


Reinsurance

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to
large losses from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business. Reinsurance permits
recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the
Company’s primary liability as direct insurer of the risks. The Company evaluates
the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial
strength and credit ratings of its reinsurers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either
purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments,
at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of
counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower
replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities
underlying the commitments.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase
investments equal to their fair value of $357.8, $226.6 of which was with related
parties. At December 31, 2006, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to
purchase investments equal to their fair value of $706.8, $322.3 of which was with
related parties. During 2007 and 2006, $87.3 and $79.4, respectively, was funded to
related parties under these commitments.

The Company has entered into various credit default swaps to assume credit exposure
to certain assets that the Company does not own. Credit default swaps involve a
transfer of credit risk from one party to another in exchange for periodic payments.
In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either
receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to
make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to the notional value of the
swap contract. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of credit default swaps of $7.9
and $16.8 was included in Other investments and Other liabilities, respectively, on
the Balance Sheets. As of December 2007, the maximum potential future exposure to
the Company on the sale of credit protection under credit default swaps was $136.2.

The Company owns a 3-year credit-linked note arrangement, whereby the Company
agrees to reimburse the guaranteed party upon payment default of the referenced
obligation. Upon such default, the Company reimburses the guaranteed party for the
loss under the reference obligation, and the Company receives that reference
obligation in settlement. The Company can then seek recovery of any losses under
the agreement by sale or collection of the received reference obligation. As of
December 31, 2007, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company under
the guarantee was $30.0.

  48


  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had certain contractual obligations due over
a period of time as summarized in the following table.

Payments Due by Period

        Less than            More than

(1)      Operating lease obligations relate to the rental of office space under various noncancelable operating lease agreements, the longest term of which expires in April of 2014.
 
(2)      Purchase obligations consist primarily of outstanding commitments under limited partnerships that may occur any time within the terms of the partnership.
 
  The exact timing, however, of funding these commitments cannot be estimated. Therefore, the total amount of the commitments is included in the category “Less than 1 Year.”
 
(3)      Reserves for insurance obligations consist of amounts required to meet the Company’s future obligations under its variable annuity, fixed annuity, and other investment and retirement products.
 
(4)      Construction agreement obligations relate to the construction and development of the Windsor Property under various agreements, which was substantially complete by October 1, 2007, with final payments to be made in the second quarter of 2008.
 
(5)      Pension obligations consist of actuarially-determined pension obligations, contribution matching obligations, and other supplemental retirement and insurance obligations, under various benefit plans.
 

  Repurchase Agreements

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements (“dollar rolls”) and
repurchase agreements to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity.
These transactions involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase
substantially the same securities as those sold. Company policies require a minimum
of 95% of the fair value of securities pledged under dollar rolls and repurchase
agreement transactions to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is
invested in fixed maturities, and the offsetting collateral liability is included in
Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2007 and
2006, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase
agreement transactions was $757.6 and $832.4, respectively. The carrying value of
the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions is
included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repurchase
obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements totaled $734.8 and $833.2
at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The repurchase obligation related to

49


dollar rolls and repurchase agreements is included in Borrowed money on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company also enters into reverse purchase agreements. These transactions
involve a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same
securities as those purchased. Company policies require a minimum of 102% of the
fair value of securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements to be pledged as
collateral. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have reverse
repurchase agreements.

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the
counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The
Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the
securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was
immaterial at December 31, 2007. The Company believes the counterparties to the
dollar roll, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible
and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

Securities Lending

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its
portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Initial collateral,
primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned
domestic securities. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent,
and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines
to generate additional income. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored
on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of
the loaned securities fluctuates.

Derivatives

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to hedging purposes to reduce the
Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk,
credit risk, and market risk. Generally, derivatives are not accounted for using hedge
accounting treatment under FAS No. 133, as the Company has not historically sought
hedge accounting treatment.

The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency
contracts, including swaps, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks
associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow, or exchange rates of assets
or liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure
associated with a referenced asset, index, or pool. The Company also utilizes options
and futures on equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity
products. Open derivative contracts are reported as either Other investments or Other
liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair
value of such derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  50


The Company also had investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has
issued certain retail annuity products, that contain embedded derivatives whose
market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or
changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short- or long-term), exchange
rates, prepayment rates, equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads.

Embedded derivatives within fixed maturity instruments are included in Fixed
maturities, available-for-sale, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in fair
value are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

Embedded derivatives within retail annuity products are included in Future policy
benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the
fair value are recorded in Interest credited and benefits to contractowners in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Risk-Based Capital

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) risk-based capital
requirements require insurance companies to calculate and report information under a
risk-based capital formula. These requirements are intended to allow insurance
regulators to monitor the capitalization of insurance companies based upon the type
and mixture of risks inherent in a company’s operations. The formula includes
components for asset risk, liability risk, interest rate exposure, and other factors.
ILIAC has complied with the NAIC’s risk-based capital reporting requirements.
Amounts reported indicate that, as of December 31, 2007, ILIAC has total adjusted
capital above all required capital levels.

Income Taxes

On September 25, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Ruling
2007-61, which announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain
computational aspects of the dividend received deduction (“DRD”) on separate
account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life insurance contracts.
Revenue Ruling 2007-61 suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54 issued in August 2007
that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes
governing these computational questions. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately
proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at
which time insurance companies and other members of the public will have the
opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and
application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing, substance, and
effective date of any such regulations are unknown, but they could result in the
elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company
receives. Management believes that such regulations would apply prospectively.

Income tax obligations include the allowance on uncertain tax benefits related to IRS
tax audits and state tax exams that have not been completed. The current liability of
$42.2 may be paid in less than one year, upon completion of such audits and exams.
The timing of the payment of the remaining allowance of $18.6 cannot be reliably
estimated.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

(See the Organization and Significant Accounting Policies footnote to the
consolidated financial statements for further information.)

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”),
which creates a single model to address the accounting for the uncertainty in income
tax positions recognized in a company’s financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement criteria that must be satisfied to recognize a
financial statement benefit of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on an
income tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition.

FIN 48 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. As a result of
implementing FIN 48, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle of $2.9 as a reduction to January 1, 2007 Retained earnings
(deficit).

Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection
with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts

In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises
for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of
Insurance Contracts”, which states that when an internal replacement transaction
results in a substantially changed contract, the unamortized deferred acquisition costs,
unearned revenue liabilities, and deferred sales inducement assets, related to the
replaced contract should not be deferred in connection with the new contract.
Contract modifications that meet various conditions defined by SOP 05-1 and result
in a new contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract, however,
should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract.

SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits,
features, rights, or coverage that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new
contract, by amendment, endorsement, or rider, to a contract, or by the election of a
feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 applies to internal replacements
made primarily to contracts defined by FAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises” (“FAS No. 60”), as short-duration and long-duration insurance
contracts, and by FAS No. 97, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises
for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale
of Investments”, as investment contracts.

  52


SOP 05-1 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007, and is effective for
internal replacements occurring on or after that date. As a result of implementing
SOP 05-1, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle of $43.4, before tax, or $28.2, net of $15.2 of income taxes, as a reduction to
January 1, 2007 Retained earnings (deficit). In addition, the Company revised its
accounting policy on the amortization of DAC and VOBA to include internal
replacements.

Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, “Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - An Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“FAS No. 158”). FAS No. 158 requires an
employer to:

§      Recognize in the statement of financial position, an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status;
 
§      Measure a plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year; and
 
§      Recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur, reporting such changes in comprehensive income.
 

On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure
provisions of FAS No. 158. The effect of adopting FAS No. 158 on the Company’s
financial condition at December 31, 2006 is included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. FAS No. 158 did not have a significant effect on
the Company’s financial condition at December 31, 2006. The provisions regarding
the change in the measurement date of postretirement benefit plans were not
applicable, as the Company already used a measurement date of December 31 for its
pension plans.

The incremental effects of adopting the provisions of FAS No. 158 on the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2006 was $(0.5) .

New Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“FAS No. 141R”), which replaces FAS No. 141, “Business
Combinations,” as issued in 2001. FAS No. 141R requires most identifiable assets,
liabilities, noncontrolling interest, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to
be recorded at full fair value as of the acquisition date, even for acquisitions achieved
in stages. In addition, the statement requires:

§      Acquisition-related costs to be recognized separately and generally expensed;
 
§      Non-obligatory restructuring costs to be recognized separately when the liability is incurred;
 
§      Contractual contingencies acquired to be recorded at acquisition-date fair values;
 

  53


§      A bargain purchase, which occurs when the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, to be recognized as a gain; and
 
§      The nature and financial effects of the business combination to be disclosed.
 

FAS No. 141R also amends or eliminates various other authoritative literature.

The provisions of FAS No. 141R are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 for all business combinations occurring on or after that date. As
such, this standard will impact any Company acquisitions that occur on or after
January 1, 2009.

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS No. 159”), which allows a
company to make an irrevocable election, on specific election dates, to measure
eligible items at fair value. The election to measure an item at fair value may be
determined on an instrument by instrument basis, with certain exceptions. If the fair
value option is elected, unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in earnings at
each subsequent reporting date, and any upfront costs and fees related to the item will
be recognized in earnings as incurred. Items eligible for the fair value option include:

§      Certain recognized financial assets and liabilities;
 
§      Rights and obligations under certain insurance contracts that are not financial instruments;
 
§      Host financial instruments resulting from the separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument; and
 
§      Certain commitments.
 

FAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of
the effective date, the fair value option may be elected for eligible items that exist on
that date. The effect of the first remeasurement to fair value shall be reported as a
cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings (deficit).
The Company will not be electing the fair value option for any eligible assets or
liabilities in existence on January 1, 2008.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure
assets and liabilities whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities
to be measured at fair value. FAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value to
any new circumstances.

54


Under FAS No. 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based
on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
In support of this principle, FAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy
gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to
unobservable data. FAS No. 157 also requires separate disclosure of fair value
measurements by level within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on
earnings for items measured using unobservable data.

The provisions of FAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal

years beginning after November 15, 2007.

The Company is in the process of

determining the impact of adoption of FAS No. 157.

Legislative Initiatives

Legislative proposals, which have been or are being considered by Congress, include
repealing/modifying the estate tax, reducing the taxation on annuity benefits,
changing the tax treatment of insurance products relative to other financial products,
and changing life insurance company taxation. Some of these proposals, if enacted,
could have a material adverse effect on life insurance, annuity, and other retirement
savings product sales, while others could have a material beneficial effect. There are
no indications at the present time, however, that Congress will enact tax changes that
will adversely effect the Company’s products in 2008. Legislation has also been
introduced in the House of Representatives to increase disclosure of 401(k) and other
defined contribution plan fees charged by plan investment and service providers. In
addition, the Department of Labor and the SEC have several regulatory initiatives
underway to improve fee disclosures in defined contribution plans and mutual funds.
Legislative or regulatory action to change fee disclosure requirements could adversely
impact the market for certain of the Company’s defined contribution retirement
services products, but the timing and content of such changes are uncertain at this
time. The IRS and the Treasury have published final regulations, effective in 2009,
that update and consolidate the rules applicable to 403(b) tax deferred annuity
arrangements. The final regulations impose broad written plan document and
operational compliance requirements on all 403(b) programs and contain new
restrictions on annuity exchanges. The final regulations have the potential to change
the marketplace for 403(b) service providers in a fundamental way and could have a
material beneficial effect on providers that position themselves to assist 403(b)
sponsors with plan document and operational compliance or otherwise assist with
streamlining overall plan administration. For a description of Revenue Ruling 2007-
61 issued by the IRS in September of 2007, see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources,
Income Taxes” section of “Management’s Narrative Analysis of the Results of
Operations and Financial Condition” above.

Other Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Matters

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have
received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal
governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries
and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In
each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full
cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters

Federal and state regulators, and self-regulatory agencies, are conducting broad
inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These
initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing,
and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive
activity; reinsurance; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors);
specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and
disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further
broaden before they conclude. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have
received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are
cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could
result in regulatory action involving the Company. These initiatives also may result
in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services
industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these
and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically
review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues

Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to
mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on
inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales
practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing;
compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading
issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel
and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in
ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to
identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by
ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

  56


The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to
engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual
fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances
where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat
market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to
regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Action may be taken with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations

relating to fund trading are completed.

The potential outcome of such action is

difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences,
including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial
liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such
action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations,
including the Company.

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages
resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal
investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory
agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the
SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes
that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or
ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

For further discussion of the risks to the Company as a result of recent regulatory
inquiries and possible changes in U.S. regulation, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

  (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Company’s
operations, including investment strategy, product development, and determination of
crediting rates. As part of the risk management process, different economic scenarios
are modeled, including cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory purposes,
to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet projected liability cash flows.
Key variables in the modeling process include interest rates, anticipated
contractowner behavior, and variable separate account performance. Contractowners
bear the investment risk related to variable annuity products, subject to the minimum
guaranteed death benefits included in these contracts.

The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio principally
composed of fixed income investments that can generate predictable, steady rates of
return. The duration and convexity profile of the portfolio is managed relative to the
liabilities. The assets are classified as available-for-sale, which enables the Company
to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative values of
asset sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and other
relevant factors. The objective of portfolio management is to maximize returns,
taking into account interest rate and credit risk, as well as other risks. The Company’s
asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to loss
as interest rates and economic and market conditions change.

On the basis of these analyses, management believes there is currently no material
solvency risk to the Company.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company defines interest rate risk as the risk of an economic loss due to adverse
changes in interest rates. This risk arises from the Company’s primary activity of
investing fixed annuity premiums received in interest-sensitive assets and carrying
these funds as interest-sensitive liabilities. The Company manages the interest rate
risk in its general account investments relative to the interest rate risk in its liabilities.
The current product portfolio also includes products where interest rate risks are
entirely or partially passed on to the contractowner, thereby reducing the Company’s
exposure to interest rate movements. Changes in interest rates can impact present and
future earnings, the levels of new sales, surrenders, or withdrawals.

The following schedule demonstrates the potential changes in the 2007 earnings from
an instantaneous parallel increase/decrease in interest rates of 1% on December 31,
2007. These changes to income could relate to future investment income, interest
paid to contractowners, market-value adjustments, amortization of DAC and VOBA,
sales levels, or any other net income item that would be affected by interest rate
changes. The effect of interest rate changes is different by product. A significant
portion of the Company’s contracts are close to the minimum contractual guaranteed
credited rates. In a down interest rate environment, the Company’s ability to reduce
credited rates is limited, which will cause margin compression and accelerate the
amortization of DAC and VOBA. In addition, the Company has estimated the impact
to December 31, 2007 Shareholder’s equity from the same instantaneous change in
interest rates. The effect on Shareholder’s equity includes the impact of interest rate

58


  fluctuations on income, unrealized capital gains (losses) on available-for-sale
securities, and DAC and VOBA adjustments for unrealized capital gains (losses) on
available-for-sale securities.

Increase of 1%    $ 2.8    $ 2.8 
Decrease of 1%    (7.0)    (7.0)

instantaneous, parallel increase/decrease in interest rates.

    Amortization of    DAC and VOBA

    2007    2007 

 
 
Increase of 1%    $ 2.3    $ 8.8 
Decrease of 1%    0.6    (17.4) 

  Equity Market Risk

The Company’s operations are significantly influenced by changes in the equity
markets. The Company’s profitability depends largely on the amount of assets under
management (“AUM”), which is primarily driven by the level of sales, equity market
appreciation and depreciation, and the persistency of the in force block of business.

Prolonged and precipitous declines in the equity markets can have a significant
impact on the Company’s operations. As a result, sales of variable products may
decline and surrender activity may increase, as contractowner sentiment towards the
equity market turns negative. Lower AUM will have a negative impact on the
Company’s financial results, primarily due to lower fee income on variable annuities.
Furthermore, the Company may experience a reduction in profit margins if a
significant portion of the assets held in the variable annuity separate account move to
the general account and the Company is unable to earn an acceptable margin,
particularly in light of the low interest rate environment and the presence of
contractually guaranteed interest credited rates.

In addition, prolonged declines in the equity market may also decrease the
Company’s expectations of future gross profits, which are utilized to determine the
amount of DAC and VOBA to be amortized in a given financial statement period. A
significant decrease in the Company’s estimated gross profits would require the
Company to accelerate the amount of amortization of DAC and VOBA in a given
period, potentially causing a material adverse deviation in the period’s Net income.

59


  The following schedule demonstrates the potential changes in 2007 earnings resulting
from an instantaneous increase/decrease in equity markets of 10% on December 31,
2007. These changes to income could relate to future fee income, unrealized or
realized capital gains (losses), amortization of DAC and VOBA, sales levels, or any
other net income item that would be affected by a substantial change to equity
markets. In addition, the Company has estimated the impact to Shareholder’s equity
as of December 31, 2007 from the same instantaneous change in equity markets. The
effect on shareholder’s equity includes the impact of equity market fluctuations on
income, unrealized capital gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, and DAC
and VOBA adjustments for unrealized capital gains (losses) on available-for-sale
securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ING Life Insurance and
Annuity Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company restated 2006 and 2005
retained earnings (deficit), asset, and liability amounts presented in their consolidated balance
sheets and changes in shareholder’s equity.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) is a stock life insurance company

domiciled in the state of Connecticut.

ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries

(collectively, the “Company”) are providers of financial products and services in the
United States. ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and in
the District of Columbia.

The consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”). ILIAC is a
direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”),
which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is a
global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands, with American
Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

On December 1, 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC, Directed Services, Inc. (“DSI”), a
New York corporation registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, whose
primary functions were the distribution of variable insurance products and investment
advisory services for open-end mutual funds. Additionally, on December 12, 2006,
ILIAC organized DSL as a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company. On
December 31, 2006, DSI merged with and into DSL and ceased to exist. Upon merger,
the operations and broker-dealer and investment advisor registrations of DSI were
consolidated into DSL, the surviving company. Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s
investment advisory agreement with certain variable funds offered in Company products
was assigned to DSL.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141, “Business
Combinations”, excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between entities
under common control, and notes that certain provisions under Accounting Principles
Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations”, provide a source of guidance
for such transactions. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 16, financial information of
the combined entity is presented as if the entities had been combined for the full year, and
all comparative financial statements are restated and presented as if the entities had
previously been combined, in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. The
consolidated financial statements give effect to the DSL consolidation transactions as if
they had occurred on January 1, 2004 and include the following:

  On May 11, 2006, ILIAC organized NWL as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose
of purchasing, constructing, developing, leasing, and managing a new corporate office
facility to be located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut (the “Windsor
Property”). Effective October 1, 2007, the principal executive office of ILIAC was
changed to One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut.

On October 31, 2007, ILIAC’s subsidiary, NWL merged with and into ILIAC. As of the
merger date, NWL ceased to exist, and ILIAC became the surviving corporation. The
merger did not have an impact on ILIAC’s consolidated results of operations and
financial position, as NWL was a wholly-owned subsidiary and already included in the
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented since its formation.

Description of Business

funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans
qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, and 457, as well as
nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company’s products are offered
primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-sponsored groups

  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

  In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which
creates a single model to address the accounting for the uncertainty in income tax

positions recognized in a company’s financial statements.

FIN 48 prescribes a

recognition threshold and measurement criteria that must be satisfied to recognize a
financial statement benefit of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on an income
tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

FIN 48 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. As a result of implementing
FIN 48, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of
$2.9 as a reduction to January 1, 2007 Retained earnings (deficit).

Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with
Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts

In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA")
issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for
Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance
Contracts” (“SOP 05-1”), which states that when an internal replacement transaction
results in a substantially changed contract, the unamortized deferred acquisition costs,
unearned revenue liabilities, and deferred sales inducement assets, related to the replaced
contract should not be deferred in connection with the new contract. Contract
modifications that meet various conditions defined by SOP 05-1 and result in a new
contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract, however, should be
accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract.

SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features,
rights, or coverage that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, by
amendment, endorsement, or rider, to a contract, or by the election of a feature or
coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 applies to internal replacements made primarily to
contracts defined by FAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”
(“FAS No. 60”), as short-duration and long-duration insurance contracts, and by FAS No.
97, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration
Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments” (“FAS No.
97”), as investment contracts.

71


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  SOP 05-1 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007, and is effective for internal
replacements occurring on or after that date. As a result of implementing SOP 05-1, the
Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $43.4,
before tax, or $28.2, net of $15.2 of income taxes, as a reduction to January 1, 2007
Retained earnings (deficit). In addition, the Company revised its accounting policy on
the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and value of business
acquired ("VOBA") to include internal replacements.

Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, “Employers' Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - An Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“FAS No. 158”). FAS No. 158 requires an employer to:

§      Recognize in the statement of financial position, an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status;
 
§      Measure a plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year; and
 
§      Recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur, reporting such changes in comprehensive income.
 

  On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions
of FAS No. 158. The effect of adopting FAS No. 158 on the Company’s financial
condition at December 31, 2006 is included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. FAS No. 158 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial
condition at December 31, 2006. The provisions regarding the change in the
measurement date of postretirement benefit plans are not applicable, as the Company
already uses a measurement date of December 31 for its pension plans.

The incremental effects of adopting the provisions of FAS No. 158 on the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2006 was $(0.5) .

Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments

In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“FAS No.
155”), which permits the application of fair value accounting to certain hybrid financial
instruments in their entirety if they contain embedded derivatives that would otherwise
require bifurcation under FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“FAS No. 133”). Under this approach, changes in fair value would
be recognized currently in earnings. In addition, FAS No. 155 does the following:

72


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

§      Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to derivative accounting under FAS No. 133;
 
§      Requires that interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation;
 
§      Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and
 
§      Allows a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests, other than another derivative financial instrument.
 

  FAS No. 155 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007, and is effective for all
instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event, occurring on or after
that date. The adoption of FAS No. 155 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“FAS No. 141R”), which replaces FAS No. 141, “Business
Combinations,” as issued in 2001. FAS No. 141R requires most identifiable assets,
liabilities, noncontrolling interest, and goodwill, acquired in a business combination to be
recorded at full fair value as of the acquisition date, even for acquisitions achieved in
stages. In addition, the statement requires:

§      Acquisition-related costs to be recognized separately and generally expensed;
 
§      Non-obligatory restructuring costs to be recognized separately when the liability is incurred;
 
§      Contractual contingencies acquired to be recorded at acquisition-date fair values;
 
§      A bargain purchase, which occurs when the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, to be recognized as a gain; and
 
§      The nature and financial effects of the business combination to be disclosed.
 

  FAS No. 141R also amends or eliminates various other authoritative literature.

The provisions of FAS No. 141R are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 for all business combinations occurring on or after that date. As
such, this standard will impact any Company acquisitions that occur on or after
January 1, 2009.

  The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS No. 159”), which allows a company to make an
irrevocable election, on specific election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value.
The election to measure an item at fair value may be determined on an instrument by
instrument basis, with certain exceptions. If the fair value option is elected, unrealized
gains and losses will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and any
upfront costs and fees related to the item will be recognized in earnings as incurred.
Items eligible for the fair value option include:

§      Certain recognized financial assets and liabilities;
 
§      Rights and obligations under certain insurance contracts that are not financial instruments;
 
§      Host financial instruments resulting from the separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument; and
 
§      Certain commitments.
 

  FAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of the
effective date, the fair value option may be elected for eligible items that exist on that
date. The effect of the first remeasurement to fair value shall be reported as a cumulative
effect adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings (deficit). The Company
will not be electing the fair value option for any eligible assets or liabilities in existence
on January 1, 2008.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS
No. 157”). FAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured
at fair value. FAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances.

Under FAS No. 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on
the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In
support of this principle, FAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable
data. FAS No. 157 also requires separate disclosure of fair value measurements by level
within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items
measured using unobservable data.

The provisions of FAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining
the impact of adoption of FAS No. 157.

  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported
results using those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to
the current year classifications.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments, and other
debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

Investments

All of the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are currently designated as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized
capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Shareholder’s equity,
after adjustment for related changes in experience-rated contract allocations, DAC,
VOBA, and deferred income taxes.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has
been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis.
Management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less
than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future
economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain
the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value. If it is
probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will
not be collected, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred.

In addition, the Company invests in structured securities that meet the criteria of the
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-20 “Recognition of Interest Income
and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial
Assets” (“EITF 99-20”). Under EITF 99-20, a further determination of the required
impairment is based on credit risk and the possibility of significant prepayment risk that
restricts the Company’s ability to recover the investment. An impairment is recognized if
the fair value of the security is less than amortized cost and there has been adverse
change in cash flow since the last remeasurement date.

75


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  When a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the individual
security is written down to fair value, and the loss is accounted for as a change in Net
realized capital gains (losses).

Experience-Rated Products

Included in available-for-sale securities are investments that support experience-rated
products. Experience-rated products are products where the customer, not the Company,
assumes investment (including realized capital gains and losses) and other risks, subject
to, among other things, minimum principal and interest guarantees. Unamortized realized
capital gains (losses) on the sale of and unrealized capital gains (losses) on investments
supporting these products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net realized capital gains (losses) on all other
investments are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized
capital gains (losses) on all other investments are reflected in Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity, net of DAC and VOBA
adjustments for unrealized capital gains (losses), and related income taxes.

Purchases and Sales

Purchases and sales of fixed maturities and equity securities, excluding private
placements, are recorded on the trade date. Purchases and sales of private placements
and mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

Valuation

The fair value for fixed maturities is largely determined by one of two pricing methods:
published price quotations or valuation techniques with market inputs. Security pricing is
applied using a hierarchy or “waterfall” approach, whereby prices are first sought from
published price quotations, including independent pricing services or broker-dealer
quotations. Published price quotations may be unavailable or deemed unreliable due to a
limited market for securities that are rarely traded or are traded only in privately
negotiated transactions. As such, fair values for the remaining securities, consisting
primarily of privately placed bonds, are then determined using risk-free interest rates,
current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of
the security.

The fair values for actively traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices.
For equity securities not actively traded, estimated fair values are based upon values of
issues of comparable yield and quality or conversion value, where applicable.

  Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-
downs. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is
probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is
reduced to the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the
loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral. If the loan is in foreclosure,
the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of
estimated costs to obtain and sell. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by
establishing a permanent write-down recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses). At
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no allowance for mortgage loan credit
losses. The properties collateralizing mortgage loans are geographically dispersed
throughout the United States, with the largest concentration of and 16.8% and 17.7% of
properties in California at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances.

Short-term investments, consisting primarily of money market instruments and other
fixed maturity issues purchased with an original maturity of 91 days to one year, are
considered available-for-sale and are carried at fair value.

Derivative instruments are reported at fair value primarily using the Company’s
derivative accounting system. The system uses key financial data, such as yield curves,
exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London Inter Bank
Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), which are obtained from third party sources and uploaded into
the system. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system,
the Company typically utilizes values established by third party brokers. Embedded
derivative instruments are reported at fair value based upon internally established
valuations that are consistent with external valuation models or market quotations.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase
agreements to increase the return on investments and improve liquidity. These
transactions involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the
same securities as those sold. Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair
value of securities pledged under dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions to be
maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed maturities, and the
carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement
transactions is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements is included in
Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  The Company also enters into reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions involve
a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same securities as those
purchased. Company policies require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities
pledged under reverse repurchase agreements to be pledged as collateral. Reverse
repurchase agreements are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

Securities Lending

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio
are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Initial collateral, primarily cash,
is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned domestic securities. The
collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by
the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income.
The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional
collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates.

Derivatives

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to hedging purposes to reduce the
Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk,
credit risk, and market risk. Generally, derivatives are not accounted for using hedge
accounting treatment under FAS No. 133, as the Company has not historically sought
hedge accounting treatment.

The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency
contracts, including swaps, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks
associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow, or exchange rates of assets or
liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure associated
with a referenced asset, index, or pool. The Company also utilizes options and futures on
equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity products. Open
derivative contracts are reported as either Other investments or Other liabilities, as
appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of such
derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued
certain retail annuity products, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is
at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic
and/or foreign interest rates (short- or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates,
equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads.

Embedded derivatives within fixed maturity instruments are included in Fixed maturities,
available-for-sale, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in fair value are
recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

General

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to
amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting,
contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and
renewal business.

VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase
accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization. The value is
based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the Company’s
contracts.

FAS No. 97 applies to universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and
variable deferred annuities. Under FAS No. 97, DAC and VOBA are amortized, with
interest, over the life of the related contracts in relation to the present value of estimated
future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins, plus surrender
charges.

Internal Replacements

Contractowners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make
modifications to an existing contract. Beginning January 1, 2007, these transactions are
identified as internal replacements and are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Position 05-1.

Internal replacements that are determined to result in substantially unchanged contracts
are accounted for as continuations of the replaced contracts. Any costs associated with
the issuance of the new contracts are considered maintenance costs and expensed as
incurred. Unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts continue to be
deferred and amortized in connection with the new contracts. For deferred annuities, the
estimated future gross profits of the new contracts are treated as revisions to the estimated
future gross profits of the replaced contracts in the determination of amortization.

Internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially
changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any
unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Net
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  As a result of implementing SOP 05-1, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle of $43.4, before tax, or $28.2, net of $15.2 of income
taxes, as a reduction to January 1, 2007 Retained earnings (deficit).

Unlocking

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances and
amortization rates. Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of
future gross profits associated with variable deferred annuity products. One of the most
significant assumptions involved in the estimation of future gross profits is the assumed
return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in the
equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and
long-term assumptions regarding market performance. The overall return on the variable
account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying
sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings.
Other significant assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread,
and estimated mortality.

Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of
DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs quarterly and annual analyses of DAC
and VOBA. The DAC and VOBA balances are evaluated for recoverability.

At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated future
gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Any
adjustment in estimated future gross profits requires that the amortization rate be revised
(“unlocking”), retroactively to the date of the policy or contract issuance. The
cumulative unlocking adjustment is recognized as a component of current period
amortization. In general, sustained increases in investment, mortality, and expense
margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, lower the rate of amortization.
Sustained decreases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated
future gross profits, however, increase the rate of amortization.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures
for replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repair
expenditures are expensed as incurred.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, total accumulated depreciation and amortization was
$120.7 and $107.5, respectively. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets with the exception of
land and artwork, which are not depreciated or amortized. The Company’s property and
equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives.

80


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Estimated Useful Lives 
Buildings    40 years 
Furniture and fixtures    5 years 
Leasehold improvements    10 years, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter 
Equipment    3 years 
Software    3 years 

  Reserves

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations
under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and
immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and individual
immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to cumulative deposits, less
charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net of adjustments for investment
experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest. Reserves
interest rates vary by product and ranged from 1.6% to 7.8% for the years 2007, 2006,
and 2005. Certain reserves also include unrealized gains and losses related to
investments and unamortized realized gains and losses on investments for experience-
rated contracts. Reserves on experienced-rated contracts reflect the rights of
contractowners, plan participants, and the Company. Reserves for group immediate
annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discount value of the payment at
the implied break-even rate.

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are
computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses,
including a margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by annuity
type plan, year of issue, and policy duration. For the years 2007, 2006, and 2005, reserve
interest rates ranged from 5.1% to 5.9% .

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the disposition
of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered into an indemnity
reinsurance arrangement with certain subsidiaries of Lincoln National Corporation
(“Lincoln”). Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to a
single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its
obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction. The Company includes an
amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals the
Company’s total individual life reserves. Individual life reserves are included in Future
policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unpaid claims and claim expenses for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported
losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  Certain variable annuities offer guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”). The
GMDB is accrued in the event the contractowner account value at death is below the
guaranteed value and is included in reserves.

Revenue Recognition

For most annuity contracts, charges assessed against contractowner funds for the cost of
insurance, surrenders, expenses, and other fees are recorded as revenue as charges are
assessed. Other amounts received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not
recorded as premiums or revenue. When annuity payments with life contingencies begin
under contracts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the
account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected in both
Premiums and Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts
received for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet
specific investment objectives of contractowners who bear the investment risk, subject, in
limited cases, to certain minimum guarantees. Investment income and investment gains
and losses generally accrue directly to such contractowners. The assets of each account
are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of
the Company or its affiliates.

Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are
invested, as designated by the contractowner or participant (who bears the investment
risk subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) under a contract, in shares of
mutual funds that are managed by the Company or its affiliates, or in other selected
mutual funds not managed by the Company or its affiliates.

Separate account assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and shown as separate
captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deposits, investment income, and net
realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) of the separate accounts, however, are not
reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (with the exception of realized
and unrealized capital gains (losses) on the assets supporting the guaranteed interest
option). The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of
the separate accounts.

82


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  Assets and liabilities of separate account arrangements that do not meet the criteria for
separate presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (primarily the guaranteed
interest option), and revenue and expenses related to such arrangements, are consolidated
in the financial statements with the general account. At December 31, 2007 and 2006,
unrealized capital losses of $11.0 and $7.3, respectively, after taxes, on assets supporting
a guaranteed interest option are reflected in Shareholder’s equity.

Reinsurance

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to losses

from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business.

Reinsurance permits recovery of a

portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary
liability as the direct insurer of the risks. The Company evaluates the financial strength
of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial strength and credit ratings of
its reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery
are reflected as assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Of the Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.6 billion and
$2.7 billion at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is related to the reinsurance
recoverable from certain subsidiaries of Lincoln arising from the disposal of the
Company’s individual life insurance business in 1998 (see the Reinsurance footnote).
Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to a single subsidiary
of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the
Company under the reinsurance transaction.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed at regular corporate rates after adjusting income reported for
financial statement purposes for certain items. Deferred income tax expenses/benefits
result from changes during the year in cumulative temporary differences between the tax
basis and book basis of assets and liabilities.

  The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of
the U.S. government and government agencies, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of
the Company’s Shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, fixed maturities with fair values of $13.9 and $11.2,
respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

The Company invests in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations
(“CMOs”) that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and,
for CMOs that are not agency-backed, defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding
CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in
interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages,
either earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 2007 and 2006,
approximately 11.3% and 8.4%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings were
invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension
risk than traditional CMOs, such as interest-only or principal-only strips.

Equity Securities

Equity securities, available-for-sale, included investments with fair values of $279.5 and
$219.5 in ING proprietary funds as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase
agreements. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying value of the securities
pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions was $757.6 and $832.4,
respectively. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements
totaled $734.8 and $833.2 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

  The Company also engages in reverse repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2007
and 2006, the Company did not have any reverse repurchase agreements.

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the
counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s
exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the
value of the short-term investments, an amount that was immaterial at December 31,
2007 and 2006. The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase,

risk is minimal.

Unrealized Capital Losses

Unrealized capital losses in fixed maturities at December 31, 2007 and 2006, were
primarily related to interest rate movement or spread widening to mortgage and other
asset-backed securities. Mortgage and other asset-backed securities include U.S.
government-backed securities, principal protected securities, and structured securities,
which did not have an adverse change in cash flows. The following table summarizes the
unrealized capital losses by duration and reason, along with the fair value of fixed
maturities, including securities pledged, in unrealized capital loss positions at
December 31, 2007 and 2006.

of the related fixed maturities is 96.9% of the average book value. In addition, this
category includes 761 securities, which have an average quality rating of AA. No other-
than-temporary impairment loss was considered necessary for these fixed maturities as of
December 31, 2007.

at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $1,210.8, $704.4, and $475.0, respectively.

The Company may sell securities during the period in which fair value has declined
below amortized cost for fixed maturities or cost for equity securities. In certain
situations new factors, including changes in the business environment, can change the
Company’s previous intent to continue holding a security.

Net Investment Income

Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)

Net realized capital gains (losses) are comprised of the difference between the amortized
cost of investments and proceeds from sale and redemption, as well as losses incurred
due to other-than-temporary impairment of investments and changes in fair value of
derivatives. The cost of the investments on disposal is determined based on specific
identification of securities. Net realized capital gains (losses) on investments were as
follows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

primarily due to realized losses on derivatives, primarily related to losses on interest rate
swaps and widening of credit spreads.

Net realized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts were deducted
from Net realized capital gains (losses) and an offsetting amount was reflected in Future
policy benefits and claim reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net unamortized
realized capital gains allocated to experienced-rated contractowners were $53.8, $164.5,
$240.3, at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Proceeds from the sale of fixed maturities and equity securities, available-for-sale, and

3. Financial Instruments

  Estimated Fair Value

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of FAS No. 107,
“Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FAS No. 107”). FAS No. 107
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not
recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using
present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected
by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.
In that regard, the derived fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  FAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, and
all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate
fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: The fair values for the actively traded marketable
bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices or dealer quotes. The fair
values for marketable bonds without an active market are obtained through several
commercial pricing services which provide the estimated fair values. Fair values of
privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model. The model
considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit
quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are
factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure
of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company’s evaluation of the
borrower's ability to compete in their relevant market. Using this data, the model
generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair
value of each privately placed bond.

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Fair values of these securities are based upon quoted
market price. For equity securities not actively traded, estimated fair values are based
upon values of issues of comparable yield and quality or conversion price, where
applicable.

Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the
marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar
characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments under securities loan agreement, and
Policy loans: The carrying amounts for these assets approximate the assets’ fair values.

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the
quoted fair values of the individual securities in the separate accounts.

Investment contract liabilities (included in Future policy benefits and claim reserves):

With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at interest
rates currently being offered by, or available to, the Company for similar contracts.

Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to the
contractowner upon demand. However, the Company has the right under such
contracts to delay payment of withdrawals, which may ultimately result in paying an
amount different than that determined to be payable on demand.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  Other financial instruments reported as assets and liabilities: The carrying amounts for
these financial instruments (primarily derivatives and limited partnerships) approximate
the fair values of the assets and liabilities. Derivatives are carried at fair value, which is
determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with key
financial data from third party sources or through values established by third party
brokers, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of certain of the Company’s financial
instruments were as follows at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

   Derivatives    200.3    200.3    45.1    45.1 

  Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market
information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of
timing and amounts of future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or
discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire
holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the
realization of unrealized capital gains (losses). In many cases, the fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed
value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. In evaluating the
Company’s management of interest rate, price, and liquidity risks, the fair values of all
assets and liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those presented above.

  The estimated amount of VOBA to be amortized, net of interest, is $99.4, $90.8, $88.0,
$82.4, and $77.1, for the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Actual
amortization incurred during these years may vary as assumptions are modified to
incorporate actual results.

Analysis of DAC and VOBA

The increase in Amortization of DAC and VOBA for the year ended December 31, 2007,
was primarily driven by unfavorable unlocking of $131.3 attributable to an increase in
actual gross profits related to higher fee income and fixed margins in 2007. In addition,
amortization for the year ended December 31, 2006 was lower due to favorable
unlocking, as a result of prospective expense assumption changes.

  The decrease in Amortization of DAC and VOBA in 2006 is primarily driven by
favorable unlocking of $83.3, resulting from the refinements of the Company’s estimates
of persistency, expenses and other assumptions. In addition, the decrease in amortization
reflects lower actual gross profits, primarily due to a legal settlement incurred in 2006.

Amortization of DAC and VOBA increased in 2005 primarily due to increased gross
profits, which were driven by higher fixed margins and variable fees because of higher
average assets under management (“AUM”), partially offset by higher expenses. The
Company revised long-term separate account return and certain contractowner
withdrawal behavior assumptions, as well as reflected current experience during 2005,
resulting in a deceleration of amortization of DAC and VOBA of $11.7.

5. Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder’s Equity

  ILIAC’s ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of insurance
regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any dividend, which,
when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the
greater of (1) ten percent (10%) of ILIAC’s statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2)
ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.

During 2007, 2006, and 2005, ILIAC paid $145.0, $256.0, and $20.5, respectively, in
dividends on its common stock to its parent.

During 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC DSI, which had $50.5 in equity on the date of
contribution and was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. During
2007, 2006, and 2005, ILIAC did not receive any cash capital contributions from its
parent.

The Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut (the “Department”) recognizes as
net income and capital and surplus those amounts determined in conformity with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in
certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Statutory net income was $245.5, $138.3, and $258.5, for the years ended December 31,
2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1,388.0 and
$1,447.5 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, ILIAC did not utilize any statutory accounting practices that
are not prescribed by state regulatory authorities that, individually or in the aggregate,
materially affect statutory capital and surplus.

6.      Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees
 
  The Company calculates an additional liability for certain GMDBs and other minimum guarantees in order to recognize the expected value of these benefits in excess of the projected account balance over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.
 
  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used to adjust the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.
 
  As of December 31, 2007, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $7.1 billion and $80.4, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.4 billion and $0.7, respectively.
 
  The aggregate fair value of equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $7.1 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively.
 
7.      Income Taxes
 
  Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC files a consolidated federal income tax return with ING America Insurance Holdings (“ING AIH”) and certain other subsidiaries of ING AIH that are eligible corporations qualified to file consolidated federal income tax returns as part of the ING AIH affiliated group. Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC is party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the group whereby ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each subsidiary would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and credits each subsidiary for losses at the statutory federal tax rate. For calendar year 2005, ILIAC filed a consolidated federal income tax return with its (former) subsidiary, ING Insurance Company of America.

  Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered unlikely that deferred tax assets
will be realized. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a $6.4 valuation allowance
related to unrealized capital losses on investments, which is included in Accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss). The Company had no valuation allowance as of
December 31, 2006.

Tax Sharing Agreement

ILIAC had a payable of $ 56.8 and $ 59.8 to ING AIH at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, for federal income taxes under the inter-company tax sharing agreement.

See Related Party Transactions footnote for more information.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As a result of implementing FIN 48, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle of $2.9 as a reduction to January 1, 2007 Retained
earnings (deficit). In addition, the Company had $68.0 of unrecognized tax benefits as of
January 1, 2007, of which $52.1 would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if
recognized.

A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized income tax benefits for the year is as
follows:

Balance at January 1, 2007    $ 68.0 
Additions for tax positions related to current year    2.9 

 
Additions (reductions) for tax positions related to prior years    (23.5) 
Balance at December 31, 2007    $ 47.4 
   

  The Company had $42.6 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 that
would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

Interest and Penalties

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits in Current income taxes and Income tax expense on the Balance Sheets and
Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of $16.9 as of
December 31, 2007.

Regulatory Matters

The Company is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years 2002
through 2005, and is subject to state audit in New York for years 1995 through 2000. It
is anticipated that the IRS audit of tax years 2002 and 2003 will be finalized within the
next twelve months. Upon finalization of the IRS exam, it is reasonably possible that the
unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $17.7. It is also reasonably possible that

100


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  the aforementioned state tax audits may be settled within the next twelve months. It is
reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefit on uncertain tax positions related to
the New York state tax audit will decrease by up to $11.4. The timing of the settlement
and any potential future payment of the remaining allowance of $18.3 cannot be reliably
estimated.

On September 25, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-61, which announced its
intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the
dividend received deduction (“DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with
variable annuity and life insurance contracts. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 suspended
Revenue Ruling 2007-54 issued in August 2007 that purported to change accepted
industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing these computational questions.
Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject
to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other members of
the public will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the
content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing,
substance, and effective date of any such regulations are unknown, but they could result
in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the
Company receives.

Under prior law, life insurance companies were allowed to defer from taxation a portion
of income. Deferred income of $17.2 was accumulated in the Policyholders Surplus
Account and would only become taxable under certain conditions, which management
believed to be remote. In 2004, Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 allowing certain tax-free distributions from the Policyholders’ Surplus Account
during 2005 and 2006. During 2006, the Company made a dividend distribution of
$256.0, which eliminated the $17.2 balance in the Policyholders Surplus Account and,
therefore, any potential tax on the accumulated balance.

8. Benefit Plans

  Defined Benefit Plan

ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING
Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001.
Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain
employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than
Company agents. The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the
benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the
Retirement Plan (except for certain specified employees) earns a benefit under a final
average compensation formula. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America
is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for
its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $17.2, $23.8, and $22.5, for
2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  Defined Contribution Plan

ING North America sponsors the ING Americas Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings
Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding
certain employees, including but not limited to Career Agents) are eligible to participate,
including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. Career Agents are
certain, full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement
with the Company and certain other individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria.
The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified profit sharing and stock bonus plan, which includes
an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. Savings Plan benefits are not
guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the
Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING
North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible
compensation. Matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule
(although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule).
All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by
applicable law. Pre-tax charges to operations of the Company for the Savings Plan were
$10.1 , $9.7, and $8.9, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005,
respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

Through December 31, 2001, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America,
offered certain eligible employees (other than Career Agents) a Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan and an Excess Plan (collectively, the “SERPs”). Benefit accruals under
the SERPs ceased, effective as of December 31, 2001. Benefits under the SERPs are
determined based on an eligible employee’s years of service and average annual
compensation for the highest five years during the last ten years of employment.

The Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the Pension Plan for
Certain Producers of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (formerly the Pension
Plan for Certain Producers of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Agents
Non-Qualified Plan”). This plan covers certain full-time insurance salespeople who have
entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals
who meet the eligibility criteria specified in the plan (“Career Agents”). The Agents
Non-Qualified Plan was terminated effective January 1, 2002. In connection with the
termination, all benefit accruals ceased and all accrued benefits were frozen.

102


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  The SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, are non-qualified defined benefit pension
plans, which means all the SERPs benefits are payable from the general assets of the
Company and Agents Non-Qualified Plan benefits are payable from the general assets of
the Company and ING North America. These non-qualified defined benefit pension
plans are not guaranteed by the PBGC.

Obligations and Funded Status

The following tables summarize the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets, and
funded status, for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006.

  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the projected benefit obligation was $85.6 and $97.7,
respectively.

Assumptions

The weighted-average assumptions used in the measurement of the December 31, 2007
and 2006 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as
follows:

    2007    2006 

 
 
Discount rate at beginning of period           5.90%           5.50% 
Rate of compensation increase           4.20%           4.00% 

103


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market
information provided by its plan actuaries (particularly the Citigroup Pension Discount
Curve Liability Index), including a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company’s
pension obligation and general movements in the current market environment. The
discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio of high quality, noncallable
bonds that will match the cash flows of the Retirement Plan. Based upon all available
information, it was determined that 6.5% was the appropriate discount rate as of
December 31, 2007, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability. Accordingly,
as prescribed by SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, the 6.5% discount
rate will also be used to determine the Company’s 2008 pension expense. December 31
is the measurement date for the SERP’s and Agents Non-Qualified Plan.

The weighted-average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost were as
follows:

    2007    2006    2005 

 
 
 
Discount rate           6.50%           5.90%           6.00% 
Rate of increase in compensation levels           4.20%           4.00%           4.00% 

  The weighted average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost for 2007
were, as indicated above, a 6.5% discount rate and a 4.2% rate of compensation increase.
Since the benefit plans of the Company are unfunded, an assumption for return on plan
assets is not required.

Net Periodic Benefit Costs

Net periodic benefit costs for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, were as follows:

                   2007                     2006                     2005     

 
 
 
 
 
 
Interest cost    $ 5.4    $ 5.5    $ 6.0 
Net actuarial loss recognized in the year        0.7        2.0        1.3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Unrecognized past service cost recognized in the year        -        0.2        0.2 
The effect of any curtailment or settlement        0.4        0.4        0.3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Net periodic benefit cost    $ 6.5    $ 8.1    $ 7.8 
   
 
 

  Cashflows

In 2008, the employer is expected to contribute $5.5 to the SERPs and Agents Non-
Qualified Plan. Future expected benefit payments related to the SERPs, and Agents Non-
Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2012, and thereafter
through 2017, are estimated to be $5.5, $4.0, $4.0, $4.3, $4.4 and $21.1, respectively.

  Other

On October 4, 2004, the President signed into law The Jobs Creation Act (“Jobs Act”).
The Jobs Act affects nonqualified deferred compensation plans, such as the Agents
Nonqualified Plan. ING North America will make changes to impacted nonqualified
deferred compensation plans, as necessary to comply with the requirements of the Jobs
Act.

Stock Option and Share Plans

ING sponsors the ING Group Long Term Equity Ownership Plan (“leo”), which provides
employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Board of Directors to be granted
options and/or performance shares. The terms applicable to an award under leo are set
out in an award agreement, which is signed by the participant when he or she accepts the
award.

Options granted under leo are nonqualified options on ING shares in the form of
American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”). Leo options have a ten (10) year term and vest
three years from the grant date. Options awarded under leo may vest earlier in the event
of the participant’s death, permanent disability or retirement. Retirement for purposes of
leo means a participant terminates service after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years
of service. Early vesting in all or a portion of a grant of options may also occur in the
event the participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture. Unvested
options are generally subject to forfeiture when a participant voluntarily terminates
employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants
generally have up to seven years in which to exercise their vested options. A shorter
exercise period applies in the event of termination due to redundancy, business
divestiture, voluntary termination or termination for cause. An option gives the recipient
the right to purchase an ING share in the form of ADRs at a price equal to the fair market
value of one ING share on the date of grant. On exercise, participant’s have three options
(i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the
administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the options being exercised, less
applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate
sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The share price is in Euros and
converted to U.S. dollars, as determined by ING.

Awards of performance shares may also be made under leo. Performance shares are a
contingent grant of ING stock, and, on vesting, the participant has the right to receive a
cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock
Market on the vesting date times the number of vested Plan shares. Performance shares
generally vest three years from the date of grant, with the amount payable based on
ING’s share price on the vesting date. Payments made to participants on vesting are
based on the performance targets established in connection with leo and payments can
range from 0% to 200% of target. Performance is based on ING’s total shareholder
return relative to a peer group as determined at the end of the vesting period. To vest, a
participant must be actively employed on the vesting date, although vesting will continue

  to occur in the event of the participant’s death, disability or retirement. If a participant is
terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture, vesting will occur but in only a
portion of the award. Unvested shares are generally subject to forfeiture when an
employee voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in
leo). Upon vesting, participants have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check
for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash
payment for the value of the shares, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares
and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax
obligation. The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily
average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

The Company recognized compensation expense for the leo options and performance
shares of $4.5, $10.1, and $5.6 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005
respectively.

For leo, the Company recognized tax benefits of $3.2, $0.1, and $0.3 in 2007, 2006, and
2005, respectively.

Other Benefit Plans

In addition, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the
following benefit plans:

  Investment Advisory and Other Fees

During 2006 and 2005, ILIAC served as investment advisor to certain variable funds
offered in Company products (collectively, the “Company Funds”). The Company Funds
paid ILIAC, as investment advisor, daily fees that, on an annual basis, ranged, depending
on the Fund, from 0.5% to 1.0% of their average daily net assets. Each of the Company
Funds managed by ILIAC were subadvised by investment advisors, in which case ILIAC
paid a subadvisory fee to the investment advisors, which included affiliates. Effective
January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement with the Company Funds was
assigned to DSL. ILIAC is also compensated by the separate accounts for bearing
mortality and expense risks pertaining to variable life and annuity contracts. Under the
insurance and annuity contracts, the separate accounts pay ILIAC daily fees that, on an
annual basis are, depending on the product, up to 3.4% of their average daily net assets.
The total amount of compensation and fees received by the Company from the Company
Funds and separate accounts totaled $312.7, $289.9, and $263.0, (excludes fees paid to
ING Investment Management Co.) in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

DSL has been retained by ING Investors Trust (the “Trust”), an affiliate, pursuant to a
management agreement to provide advisory, management, administrative and other
services to the Trust. Under the management agreement, DSL provides or arranges for
the provision of all services necessary for the ordinary operations of the Trust. DSL
earns a monthly fee based on a percentage of average daily net assets of the Trust. DSL
has entered into an administrative services subcontract with ING Fund Services, LLC, an
affiliate, pursuant to which ING Fund Services, LLC, provides certain management,
administrative and other services to the Trust and is compensated a portion of the fees
received by DSL under the management agreement. For the years ended December 31,
2007, 2006, and 2005, revenue received by DSL under the management agreement
(exclusive of fees paid to affiliates) was $343.8, $233.9, and $174.6, respectively. At
December 31, 2007 and 2006, DSL had $26.7 and $22.1, respectively, receivable from
the Trust under the management agreement.

Financing Agreements

ILIAC maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH, an affiliate, to facilitate the
handling of unanticipated short-term cash requirements that arise in the ordinary course
of business. Under this agreement, which became effective in June 2001 and expires on
April 1, 2011, either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of ILIAC’s statutory
admitted assets as of the preceding December 31. Interest on any ILIAC borrowing is
charged at the rate of ING AIH’s cost of funds for the interest period, plus 0.15% .

108


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  Interest on any ING AIH borrowings is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest
rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration.

Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred interest expense of $3.9, $1.8, and $0.7, for the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and earned interest
income of $1.7, $3.3, and $1.1, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005,
respectively. Interest expense and income are included in Interest expense and Net
investment income, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At
December 31, 2007, ILIAC had no amount due from ING AIH under the reciprocal loan
agreement and $45.0 receivable from ING AIH at December 31, 2006.

Note with Affiliate

On December 29, 2004, ING USA issued a surplus note in the principal amount of
$175.0 (the “Note”) scheduled to mature on December 29, 2034, to ILIAC, in an offering
that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.
ILIAC’s $175.0 Note from ING USA bears interest at a rate of 6.26% per year. Any
payment of principal and/or interest is subject to the prior approval of the Iowa Insurance
Commissioner. Interest is scheduled to be paid semi-annually in arrears on June 29 and
December 29 of each year, commencing on June 29, 2005. Interest income for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $11.1.

Tax Sharing Agreements

Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC is a party to a federal tax allocation agreement with
ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the ING AIH consolidated group. Under the
federal tax allocation agreement, ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each
subsidiary would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and
credits each subsidiary for losses at the statutory federal tax rate.

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, DSI, which merged with and into DSL
on December 31, 2006, was party to the ING AIH federal tax allocation agreement, as
described above. Income from DSL, a single member limited liability company, is taxed
at the member level (ILIAC).

ILIAC has also entered into a state tax sharing agreement with ING AIH and each of the
specific subsidiaries that are parties to the agreement. The state tax agreement applies to
situations in which ING AIH and all or some of the subsidiaries join in the filing of a
state or local franchise, income tax, or other tax return on a consolidated, combined, or
unitary basis.

11.      Reinsurance
 
  At December 31, 2007, the Company had reinsurance treaties with 8 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any outstanding cessions under any reinsurance treaties with affiliated reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.
 

  On, October 1, 1998, the Company disposed of its individual life insurance business
under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with certain subsidiaries of Lincoln for $1.0
billion in cash. Under the agreement, Lincoln contractually assumed from the Company
certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated
to contractowners. Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to
a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its
obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

  Commitments

Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either
purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at
a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to
honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also,
there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase
investments equal to their fair value of $357.8, $226.6 of which was with related parties.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase
investments equal to their fair value of $706.8, $322.3 of which was with related parties.
During 2007 and 2006, $87.3 and $79.4, respectively, was funded to related parties under
off-balance sheet commitments.

Financial Guarantees

The Company owns a 3-year credit-linked note arrangement, whereby the Company will
reimburse the guaranteed party upon payment default of the referenced obligation. Upon
such default, the Company reimburses the guaranteed party for the loss under the
reference obligation, and the Company receives that reference obligation in settlement.
The Company can then seek recovery of any losses under the agreement by sale or
collection of the received reference obligation. As of December 31, 2007, the maximum
liability to the Company under the guarantee was $30.0.

Windsor Property Construction

During the second half of 2006, NWL entered into agreements for site development and
facility construction at the Windsor Property (collectively, the "Construction
Agreements"). Construction of the Windsor Property is complete, and costs incurred
under the Construction Agreements and other agreements associated with the
construction, acquisition, and development of the corporate office facility totaled $62.4
and $27.6 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These costs
were capitalized in Property and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Litigation

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the
normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business
litigation/arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial
compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages, and other types of relief. Moreover,
certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly
situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such
lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves,

112


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not
have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

Other Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Matters

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received
informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental
agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations
of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the
Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters

Federal and state regulators, and self-regulatory agencies, are conducting broad inquiries
and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives
currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales
incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance;
sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types
(including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the
scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The
Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in
connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for
information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the
Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could
significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the
Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING,
including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business
practices are appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues

Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to
mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on
inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices,
suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance
and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues,
ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a
national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING
insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify
any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING
investment professionals and other ING personnel.

113


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

  The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to
engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund
products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where
frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market
timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the
independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.

Action may be taken with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations relating
to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict
but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to,
settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently
anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material
adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages
resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal
investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory
agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC.
Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the
total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s
U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

14. Changes to Prior Years Presentation

  During 2007, the Company identified $43.1 in unreconciled net liabilities. While the
correction of this error is not material to the prior period financial statements, correction
of the error through the current period income statement would be material to the 2007
Statements of Operations. In accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic IN, “Financial Statements - Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial

  Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information
relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic SEC
filings is made known to them in a timely manner.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. The Company’s internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that:

§      pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
§      provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
 
§      provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 

  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

119


  Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making its assessment, management
has used the criteria set forth in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
upon its assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this
annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has not been any change in the internal controls over financial reporting of the
Company that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially
affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls.

Item 9B. Other Information

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

  (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

In 2007 and 2006, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) served as the principal
external auditing firm for ING, including ILIAC. ING subsidiaries, including ILIAC,
are allocated Ernst & Young fees attributable to services rendered by Ernst & Young
to each subsidiary. Ernst & Young fees allocated to the Company for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 are detailed below, along with a description of the
services rendered by Ernst & Young to the Company.

                     2007            2006         

 
 
 
 
 
 
Audit fees    $ 3.3    $ 3.7     
Audit-related fees        0.2            0.1     

 
 
 
 
 
 
Tax fees        -    *        -    * 
All other fees        -    *        -    * 

 
 
 
 
 
 
    $ 3.5    $ 3.8     
   
 
   
*Less than $0.1.                         

  Audit Fees

Fees for audit services include fees associated with professional services rendered by
the auditors for the audit of the annual financial statements of the Company and
review of the Company’s interim financial statements.

Audit-related Fees

Audit-related fees were allocated to ILIAC for assurance and related services that are
reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial
statements and are not reported under the audit fee item above. These services
consisted primarily of the audit of SEC product filings.

Tax Fees

There were minimal tax fees allocated to ILIAC in 2007 and 2006. Tax fees allocated
to ILIAC were primarily for tax compliance and accounting for income taxes. These
services consist of tax compliance, including the review of tax disclosures and proper
completion of tax forms, assistance with questions regarding tax audits, and tax
planning and advisory services relating to common forms of domestic taxation (i.e.,
income tax and capital tax).

All Other Fees

There were minimal fees allocated to ILIAC in 2007and 2006 under the category “all
other fees.” Other fees allocated to ILIAC under this category typically include fees
paid for products and services other than the audit fees, audit-related fees, and tax
fees described above, and consist primarily of non-recurring support and advisory
services.

122


Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

ILIAC has adopted the pre-approval policies and procedures of ING. Audit, audit-
related, and non-audit, services provided to the Company by ING’s independent
auditors are pre-approved by ING’s audit committee. Pursuant to ING’s pre-approval
policies and procedures, the ING audit committee is required to pre-approve all
services provided by ING’s independent auditors to ING and its affiliates, including
the Company. The ING pre-approval policies and procedures distinguish five types
of services: (1) audit services, (2) audit-related services, (3) tax services, (4) other
services that are not audit, audit-related, tax, or prohibited services, and (5) prohibited
services (as described in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).

The ING pre-approval procedures consist of a general pre-approval procedure and a
specific pre-approval procedure.

General Pre-approval Procedure

ING’s audit committee pre-approves audit, audit-related, tax, and other, services to be
provided by ING’s external audit firms on an annual basis. The audit committee also
sets the maximum annual amount for such pre-approved services. Throughout the
year, ING’s audit committee receives from ING’s external audit firms an overview of
all services provided, including related fees and supported by sufficiently detailed
information. ING’s audit committee evaluates this overview periodically on a
retrospective basis during the year. Additionally, ING’s external audit firms and
Corporate Audit Services monitor the amounts paid versus the pre-approved amounts
throughout the year.

Specific Pre-approval Procedure

In addition to the general pre-approval procedures, each proposed independent
auditor engagement that is expected to generate fees in excess of the pre-approved
amounts, must be approved by the audit committee after recommendation of local
management on a case-by-case basis.

In 2007 and 2006, 100% of each of the audit-related services, tax services, and all
other services were pre-approved by ING’s audit committee.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS 

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

  Not Applicable.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes (“CGS”) provides that a corporation may provide
indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections 33-
770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended by Sections 12 to 20, inclusive, of the
CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section
33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These
statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the
extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers,
employees and agents against “liability” (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine,
including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with
respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking
indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has determined that
indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the
authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-
770(3); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent
or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of
directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall indemnify an
individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in
connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of
the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or
with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he
received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred
in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a party.

Section 33-777 of the statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification insurance on
behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Consistent with the
statute, ING Groep N.V. maintains an umbrella insurance policy with an international insurer. The policy covers
ING Groep N.V. and any company in which ING Groep N.V. has controlling interest of 50% or more. This would
encompass the principal underwriter as well as the depositor. The policy provides for the following types of
coverage: errors and omissions, directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and fidelity

Section 20 of the ING Financial Advisers, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that ING Financial
Advisers, LLC will indemnify certain persons against any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees)
incurred by such person if he is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he
was a member, officer, director, employee or agent of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, as long as he acted in good
faith on behalf of ING Financial Advisers, LLC and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his
authority. An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or
expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity provision is
authorized by and is consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Not Applicable.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows, pursuant to Item 512 of Regulation S-K:

(a)    Rule 415 offerings: 
 
    (1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the registered securities are being made, a post- 
        effective amendment to this registration statement: 
 
        (i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; 
 
        (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 
            registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, 
            individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth 
            in the registration statement; and 
 
        (iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously 
            disclosed in the registration statement or any material changes to such information in the 
            registration statement. 
 
    (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- 
        effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities 
        offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
        fide offering thereof. 
 
    (3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being 
        registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 
 
    (5)(ii)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each 
        prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, 
        other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance 
        on Rule 430A shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date 
        it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration 
        statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated 
        or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the 
        registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, 
        supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was 
        part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of 
        first use.     
 
    (6)    That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any 
        purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes in a 
        primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, 
        regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are 
        offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned 
        registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to 
        such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to 
        the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the 
        offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the 
        undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering 
        containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on 
        behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering 
        made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. 


(h)    Request for Acceleration of Effective Date: 
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to 
    directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 
    the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such 
    indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event 
    that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses 
    incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any 
    action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the 
    securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled 
    by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such 
    indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final 
    adjudication of such issue.
