Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds
continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds
and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor and distributor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor and distributor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 3.46%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

(e) Synthetic municipal instruments; involves the deposit into a trust of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes ("Underlying Bonds."), a sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust to investors such as the Fund. The trustee receives the long-term fixed interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders variable rate interest payments based upon a short-term reset periodically.
(f) Security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (e.g., the security was purchased in a Rule 144A transaction or a Regulation D transaction). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no rights to demand registration of these securities. The aggregate value of these securities at September 30, 2007 was $1,324,750,500, which represented 38.96% of the Fund's Net Assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
(g) Security is not rated by S&P or by Moody's; however it is rated by Fitch IBCA ("Fitch") of F1+.
(h) Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.
(i) Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations.

Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Cash Management Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses | | Ending | | Expenses | | Annualized | |
Share | | Account Value | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Expense | |
Class | | (4/1/07) | | (9/30/07)(1) | | Period(2) | | (9/30/07) | | Period(2) | | Ratio | |
Cash Management | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,017.40 | | $ | 1.51 | | $ | 1,023.50 | | $ | 1.52 | | 0.30 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 3.53%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) Ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), except as indicated in note (g) below. NRR indicates a security that is not re-rated subsequent to funding of an escrow fund (consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations held by a bank custodian or other highly rated collateral); this funding is pursuant to an advance refunding of this security.
(b) Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(c) Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on September 30, 2007.
(d) The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. No concentration of any single foreign country was greater than 5%.
(e) Synthetic municipal instruments; involves the deposit into a trust of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes ("Underlying Bonds."), a sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust to investors such as the Fund. The trustee receives the long-term fixed interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders variable rate interest payments based upon a short-term reset periodically.
(f) Security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (e.g., the security was purchased in a Rule 144A transaction or a Regulation D transaction). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no rights to demand registration of these securities. The aggregate value of these securities at September 30, 2007 was $1,324,750,500, which represented 38.96% of the Fund's Net Assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
(g) Security is not rated by S&P or by Moody's; however it is rated by Fitch IBCA ("Fitch") of F1+.
(h) Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.
(i) Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations.
(j) Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put.

(l) This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer's obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer's obligations.Entities

Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Corporate Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | HYPOTHETICAL | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | (5% annual return before expenses) | | | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses | | Ending | | Expenses | | Annualized | |
Share | | Account Value | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Expense | |
Class | | (4/1/07) | | (9/30/07)(1) | | Period(2) | | (9/30/07) | | Period(2) | | Ratio | |
Corporate | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,017.60 | | $ | 1.26 | | $ | 1,023.75 | | $ | 1.26 | | 0.25 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.
Sincerely,

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 3.56%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) Ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), except as indicated in note (g) below. NRR indicates a security that is not re-rated subsequent to funding of an escrow fund (consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations held by a bank custodian or other highly rated collateral); this funding is pursuant to an advance refunding of this security.
(b) Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(c) Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on September 30, 2007.
(d) The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. No concentration of any single foreign country was greater than 5%.
(e) Synthetic municipal instruments; involves the deposit into a trust of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes ("Underlying Bonds."), a sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust to investors such as the Fund. The trustee receives the long-term fixed interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders variable rate interest payments based upon a short-term reset periodically.
(f) Security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (e.g., the security was purchased in a Rule 144A transaction or a Regulation D transaction). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no rights to demand registration of these securities. The aggregate value of these securities at September 30, 2007 was $1,324,750,500, which represented 38.96% of the Fund's Net Assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
(g) Security is not rated by S&P or by Moody's; however it is rated by Fitch IBCA ("Fitch") of F1+.
(h) Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.
(i) Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations.
(j) Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put.
(k) In accordance with the procedures established by the Board of Trustees, investments are through participation in joint accounts with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates.
(l) This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer's obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer's obligations.Entities

Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Institutional Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | HYPOTHETICAL | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | (5% annual return before expenses) | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses | | Ending | | Expenses | | Annualized | |
Share | | Account Value | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Expense | |
Class | | (4/1/07) | | (9/30/07)(1) | | Period(2) | | (9/30/07) | | Period(2) | | Ratio | |
Institutional | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,017.80 | | $ | 1.11 | | $ | 1,023.90 | | $ | 1.11 | | 0.22 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor and distributor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor and distributor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 2.81%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Personal Investment Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | HYPOTHETICAL | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | (5% annual return before expenses) | | | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses | | Ending | | Expensesa | | Annualized | |
Share | | Account Value | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Expense | |
Class | | (4/1/07) | | (9/30/07)(1) | | Period(2) | | (9/30/07) | | Period(2) | | Ratio | |
Personal Investment | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,015.00 | | $ | 3.88 | | $ | 1,021.15 | | $ | 3.89 | | 0.77 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.
Sincerely,

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor and distributor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor and distributor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 3.06%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Private Investment Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | HYPOTHETICAL | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | (5% annual return before expenses) | | | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses | | Ending | | Expenses | | Annualized | |
Share | | Account Value | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Expense | |
Class | | (4/1/07) | | (9/30/07)(1) | | Period(2) | | (9/30/07) | | Period(2) | | Ratio | |
Private Investment | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,016.50 | | $ | 2.37 | | $ | 1,022.65 | | $ | 2.38 | | 0.47 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor and distributor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor and distributor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 2.81%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) Ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), except as indicated in note (g) below. NRR indicates a security that is not re-rated subsequent to funding of an escrow fund (consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations held by a bank custodian or other highly rated collateral); this funding is pursuant to an advance refunding of this security.
(b) Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(c) Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on September 30, 2007.
(d) The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. No concentration of any single foreign country was greater than 5%.
(e) Synthetic municipal instruments; involves the deposit into a trust of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes ("Underlying Bonds."), a sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust to investors such as the Fund. The trustee receives the long-term fixed interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders variable rate interest payments based upon a short-term reset periodically.
(f) Security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (e.g., the security was purchased in a Rule 144A transaction or a Regulation D transaction). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no rights to demand registration of these securities. The aggregate value of these securities at September 30, 2007 was $1,324,750,500, which represented 38.96% of the Fund's Net Assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
(g) Security is not rated by S&P or by Moody's; however it is rated by Fitch IBCA ("Fitch") of F1+.
(h) Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.
(i) Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations.

Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Reserve Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | HYPOTHETICAL | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | (5% annual return before expenses) | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (4/1/07) | | Ending Account Value (9/30/07)(1) | | Expenses Paid During Period(2) | | Ending Account Value (9/30/07) | | Expenses Paid During Period(2) | | Annualized Expense Ratio | |
Share Class | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
Reserve | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,013.40 | | $ | 5.49 | | $ | 1,019.55 | | $ | 5.50 | | 1.09 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards.
Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO PLC, the parent company of AIM Investments—registered trademark— (AIM), and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future.
In September 2006, Karen Dunn Kelley was named as President of your funds. Further, the investment management talent at AIM was enhanced in 2007 by the promotion of Karen to Head of INVESCO’s Worldwide Fixed Income. She continues in her role as Director of AIM Global and AIM Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under her direction, AIM’s cash management organization grew to one of the world’s largest and most respected money managers in the industry, while providing top-tier performance.
The AIM and INVESCO fixed income operations, combined under Karen’s leadership, represent more than $160 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals and products that span the entire yield curve (as of September 30, 2007). Worldwide Fixed Income, through its six regional investment centers, brings clients the benefit of global reach in an increasingly sophisticated marketplace. The scope of the business benefits from strong historical knowledge and well developed technology that enables the integrated group to maintain and enhance its focus on a consistent, disciplined and repeatable investment process aligned with client needs.
In other news, at our June meeting, your Board renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and A I M Advisors, Inc. for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the “Products and Performance” tab, then select the “Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals” link.
Your Board looks forward to keeping you informed about the governance of your funds.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Investment return will vary. Monthly yield represents annualized results for the period, net of fees and expenses, and excludes any realized capital gains or losses. Had the advisor and distributor not waived certain fees and/or reimbursed certain expenses, performance would have been lower. Based on the waiver rate in the current Fund prospectus had the advisor and distributor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield would have been 3.36%. The 7-day unsubsidized SEC yield is determined by subtracting the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the 7-day SEC yield.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) Ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), except as indicated in note (g) below. NRR indicates a security that is not re-rated subsequent to funding of an escrow fund (consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations held by a bank custodian or other highly rated collateral); this funding is pursuant to an advance refunding of this security.
(b) Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(c) Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on September 30, 2007.
(d) The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. No concentration of any single foreign country was greater than 5%.
(e) Synthetic municipal instruments; involves the deposit into a trust of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes ("Underlying Bonds."), a sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust to investors such as the Fund. The trustee receives the long-term fixed interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders variable rate interest payments based upon a short-term reset periodically.
(f) Security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (e.g., the security was purchased in a Rule 144A transaction or a Regulation D transaction). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no rights to demand registration of these securities. The aggregate value of these securities at September 30, 2007 was $1,324,750,500, which represented 38.96% of the Fund's Net Assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
(g) Security is not rated by S&P or by Moody's; however it is rated by Fitch IBCA ("Fitch") of F1+.
(h) Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.
(i) Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations.
(j) Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put.
(k) In accordance with the procedures established by the Board of Trustees, investments are through participation in joint accounts with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates.
(l) This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer's obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer's obligations.Entities

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Free Investments Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust consisting of one portfolio, the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each class.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
The Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving Fund investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.
C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders "exempt-interest dividends", as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under
35
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund — Municipal securities may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives as well, as the economics of the regions where the issuers in which the Fund invests are located.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.22% of the Fund's average daily net assets through at least June 30, 2008. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any; (ii) trustees' fees; (iii) federal registration fees ; (iv) interest: (v) taxes; (vi) extraordinary items; (vii) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with INVESCO PLC ("INVESCO") (formerly "AMVESCAP PLC") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposits accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, AIM will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of the fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $641,938.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, INVESCO agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, INVESCO did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management Company ("FMC") and the Trust, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class pay up to the maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of the Rule 12b-1 payment, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Currently, FMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Fund such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class equals the maximum annual rate of 0.25%, 0.55%, 0.08%, 0.87% and 0.16%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to such class through June 30, 2007. Further, FMC voluntarily waived additional Rule 12b-1 plan fees for the Reserve Class during the year in order to increase the yield. Waivers may be modified or discontinued at any tim e. Pursuant to the Plan, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, the Resource Class and the Corporate Class paid $227,272, $100,775, $242,866, $52,685, $299,134 and $26,484 respectively, after FMC waived Plan fees of $227,272, $36,645, $60,716, $7,873, $74,784 and $0, respectively.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or FMC.
NOTE 3—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the
36
Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio
current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $34,272,864, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $0, and securities purchases of $35,422,973.
NOTE 4—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,767 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Borrowings
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of March 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
Expiration | | Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
March 31, 2013 | | $ | 1,941 | | |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. FMC has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing.

NOTE 8—New Accounting Standard
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As required the Fund adopted FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal half year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of these provisions has no impact on these financial statements.
NOTE 9—Subsequent Event
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved replacing FMC with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") as the exclusive distributor for the Trust and its portfolios, including the Fund. To effect this transition, the Board approved (i) the termination of the master distribution agreement with FMC and for the fund to enter into a master distribution agreement with ADI; and (ii) an amendment to the master distribution plan to replace FMC with ADI, all with similar terms, to be effective upon a date to be determined in the near future.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or cappe d by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging:
• that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.
These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid.
All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in INVESCO PLC's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court h ave been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the INVESCO defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision.
IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.
At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Resource Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | | | | | | HYPOTHETICAL | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | (5% annual return before expenses) | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (4/1/07) | | Ending Account Value (9/30/07)(1) | | Expenses Paid During Period(2) | | Ending Account Value (9/30/07) | | Expenses Paid During Period(2) | | Annualized Expense Ratio | |
Share Class | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
Resource | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,017.00 | | $ | 1.92 | | $ | 1,023.10 | | $ | 1.92 | | 0.38 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
(2) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tax-Free Investments Trust is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM). During contract renewal meetings held on June 25-27, 2007, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement for another year, effective July 1, 2007. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund’s advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement is fair and reasonable.
The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with independent legal counsel from whom they received independent legal advice, and the independent Trustees also received assistance during their deliberations from the independent Senior Officer, a full-time officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The following discussion more fully describes the process employed by the Board to evaluate the performance of the AIM Funds (including the Fund) throughout the year and, more specifically, during the annual contract renewal meetings.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees which are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds.
In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding all the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc., under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the performance, fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the performance, fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. Moreover, the Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee’s recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if applicable (advisory agreements), for another year.
The independent Trustees, as mentioned above, are assisted in their annual evaluation of the advisory agreements by the independent Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared an independent written evaluation.
During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below under the heading “Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation” in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s advisory agreement at the contract renewal meetings and at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund. The Fund’s advisory agreement was considered separately, although the Board also considered the common interests of all of the AIM Funds in their deliberations. The Board comprehensively considered all of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Furthermore, each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from one another and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and AIM, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions of these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 27, 2007 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AIM
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM under the Fund’s advisory agreement, the performance of AIM in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of AIM to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM, and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by AIM were appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s advisory agreement.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between AIM and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of AIM’s operations, and concluded that it was beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas have generally improved, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement.
B. Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, and against the performance of all funds in the Lipper Institutional Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper to identify the Fund’s peers. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the median performance of its peers for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also considered the steps AIM has taken over the last several years to improve the quality and efficiency of the services that AIM provides to the AIM Funds. The Board concluded that AIM continues to be responsive to the Board’s focus on fund performance. Although the independent written evaluation
42
of the Fund’s Senior Officer (discussed below) only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper peer group that are not managed by AIM, at a common asset level and as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was comparable to the median advisory fee rate of its peers. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper and noted that the contractual fee rates shown by Lipper include any applicable long-term contractual fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM does not serve as an advisor to other mutual funds or other clients with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2008 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until at least June 30, 2008. The Board reviewed the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, after taking account of this expense limitation, and considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses. The Board concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, as well as the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in AIM’s provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule or through advisory fee waivers or expense limitations. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources of AIM
The Board reviewed information from AIM concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of AIM and its affiliates. The Board also reviewed with AIM the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that AIM continues to operate at a net profit, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced the profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by AIM and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s advisory agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer
The Board noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that they had relied upon the Senior Officer’s written evaluation instead of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
G. Collateral Benefits to AIM and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by AIM and its affiliates resulting from AIM’s relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of AIM and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, portfolio brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and executions services from AIM to the funds and therefore may reduce AIM’s expenses. The Board also noted that research obtained through soft dollar arrangements may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund and may therefore benefit Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that AIM’s soft dollar arrangements were appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by AIM, these arrangements were consistent with regulatory requirements.
