AIM Dynamics Fund
AIM DYNAMICS FUND’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
· Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of January 31, 2007, and is based on total net assets.
· Unless otherwise noted, all data in this report are from A I M Management Group Inc.
About share classes
· Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, including 401(k) plans, money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. Plans that had existing accounts invested in Class B shares prior to September 30, 2003, will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
· Investor Class shares are closed to most investors. For more information on who may continue to invest in Investor Class shares, please see the prospectus.
· Class R shares are available only to certain retirement plans. Please see the prospectus for more information.
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
· Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange rate changes, political
and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information about these companies, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
· Investing in a fund that invests in small and mid-sized companies involves risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, stock price fluctuations and illiquidity.
· Stocks are subject to market risk, meaning stock prices vary and may fall, thus reducing the value of the Fund’s investments. Certain stocks selected for the Fund’s portfolio may decline in value more than the overall stock market.
· Investing in emerging markets involves greater risks than investing in more established markets. Risks for emerging markets include risks relating to the relatively smaller size and lesser liquidity of these markets, high inflation rates, adverse political developments and lack of timely information.
· Prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
· The Fund invests in “growth stocks” which may be more volatile than other investments because growth stocks are more sensitive to investor perceptions of an issuing company’s growth potential.
· At any given time, the Fund may be subject to sector risk, which means a certain sector may underperform other sectors or underperform the market as a whole. The Fund is not limited with respect to the sectors in which it may invest.
· The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading which may increase costs and lower the Fund’s actual returns. Active trading may also increase short term gains and losses, which may affect the taxes that must be paid.
· There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers will produce the desired result.

Dear Shareholders of The AIM Family of Funds —registered trademark—:
I’m pleased to provide you with this report, which includes a discussion of how your Fund was managed during the six months ended January 31, 2007, and what factors affected its performance. The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment.
Major U.S. stock market indexes rose significantly during the second half of 2006, due to continued economic
expansion and a cessation of interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, among other factors.(1),(2) Major
fixed-income indexes also produced positive returns during the second half of 2006.(1)
As I write this letter, the consensus outlook for the economy remains positive. But we all know that markets are unpredictable and subject to sudden changes based on geopolitical or economic developments. At AIM Investments
—registered trademark—, we believe investors can do two things to deal with short-term market fluctuations: maintain a long-term investment horizon and maintain a diversified portfolio. AIM Investments offers a broad product line that gives your financial advisor options to build a portfolio that’s right for you regardless of market conditions. Our product line includes a comprehensive range of mutual funds, including domestic, global and international equity funds; taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds; and a variety of allocation portfolios—with risk and return characteristics to match your needs. We maintain this extensive set of product solutions because we believe in the value of diversified investment portfolios.
To provide you even more investment options, we recently launched AIM Independence Funds, six new target maturity funds that combine AIM retail mutual funds and PowerShares —registered trademark— exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as underlying investment options. ETFs are relatively low cost and potentially tax-efficient funds that trade like individual stocks. These AIM Independence Funds are intended to provide broad diversification and risk/reward levels that change as your target retirement date nears. Your financial advisor can provide you with more information about the new AIM Independence Funds.
At AIM Investments, we believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor. Your financial advisor can help you build a diversified investment portfolio, making periodic adjustments as market conditions and your investment goals change. While there are no guarantees with any investment program, a long-term plan matched to your financial goals, risk tolerance and time horizon offers the potential to keep you and your investments on track—and your financial advisor can provide you with valuable information and advice.
I also invite you to visit us on the Internet at AIMinvestments.com. Our Web site allows you to access your account information, review fund performance, learn more about your fund’s investment strategies and obtain general investing information—whenever it’s convenient for you.
Our commitment to you
While we’re committed to maintaining a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate Web site, we’re even more committed to providing excellent customer service. Our highly trained, courteous client services representatives are eager to answer your questions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246.
All of us at AIM Investments are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and are grateful for the confidence you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely, | |

Dear Fellow AIM Fund Shareholders:
Your AIM Funds Board started 2007 committed to continue working with management at A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM) with the goal of improving performance and lowering shareholder expenses for the AIM Funds.
The progress made to date is encouraging. Following the general trends of global equity markets and the U.S. stock market, the asset-weighted absolute performance for all the equity and fixed-income AIM Funds improved to 15.08% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 9.13% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2005, and 11.20% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004.(1)* The asset-weighted absolute performance for the AIM money market funds was 4.84% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 3.04% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2005, and 1.23% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004.(2)*
In November, your Board approved, subject to shareholder vote, four more AIM Fund consolidations. As always, these decisions were made to benefit existing shareholders and were driven by a desire to improve the merged funds’ performance, attract new assets and reduce costs. The asset class subcommittees of your Board’s Investments Committee are meeting frequently with portfolio managers to identify how performance might be further improved.
On the expense side, both AMVESCAP, the parent company of AIM, and AIM continue to take advantage of opportunities for operational consolidation, outsourcing and new technologies to improve cost efficiencies for your benefit. Your Board, for example, takes advantage of effective software solutions that enable us to save money through electronic information sharing. Additional cost-saving steps are under way. I’ll report more on these steps once they’re completed.
Another major Board initiative for early 2007 is the revision of the AIM Funds’ proxy voting guidelines, a project begun by a special Board task force late last year. We expect to have new procedures in place for the 2007 spring proxy season that will improve the ability of the AIM Funds to cast votes that are in the best interests of all fund shareholders.
While your Board recognizes that additional work lies ahead, we are gratified that some key external sources have
recognized changes at AIM and the AIM Funds in the past two years. An article in the November 21, 2006, issue of Morningstar Report (Morningstar Inc. is a leading provider of independent mutual fund investment research) included a review of AIM’s progress, highlighting lower expenses, stronger investment teams and an improved sales culture, as well as areas for continued improvement. I’m looking forward to a return visit to Morningstar this year to review AIM Funds’ performance and governance ratings.
Your Board thanks Mark Williamson, former President and CEO of AIM Investments, who retired from your Board in 2006. He has been succeeded on your Board by Phil Taylor, President of AIM Funds. We extend a warm welcome to Phil.
I’d like to hear from you. Please write to me at AIM Investments, AIM Investments Tower, 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston TX 77046. Let me know your thoughts on how your Board is doing and how we might serve you better.
Sincerely, | |

(1)Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The asset-weighted absolute performance for the equity and fixed-income AIM Funds is derived by taking the one-year cumulative total return for each share class of each AIM Fund in existence as of December 31, 2006, (excluding money market funds) and weighting the performance by the calendar year average net assets of that share class. The one-year cumulative total return includes reinvested distributions, fund expenses and management fees, but excludes applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included, the one-year cumulative total return and the asset-weighted performance would be lower.

The one-year cumulative total return includes reinvested distributions, fund expenses and management fees, but excludes applicable sales charges.

Management’s discussion of Fund performance
Performance Summary
For the six months ended January 31, 2007, and excluding applicable sales charges, AIM Dynamics Fund produced double-digit returns and outperformed its style-specific index, the Russell Midcap Growth Index.(1) Stock selection across sectors enabled the Fund to outperform the index.
Also excluding applicable sales charges, the Fund outperformed its broad market index, the S&P 500 Index.(1) This was due chiefly to the fact that mid-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks during the reporting period.(1)

How we invest
We believe a growth investment strategy is an essential component of a diversified portfolio.
Our investment process combines quantitative and fundamental analysis to uncover companies exhibiting long-term, sustainable earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected by the stock’s market price.
Our quantitative model ranks companies based on factors we have found to be highly correlated with outperformance in the mid-cap growth universe, including:
· Earnings—We focus on companies exhibiting strong growth in earnings, revenue and cash flows.
· Quality—We focus on companies with sustainable earnings growth and management teams that profitably reinvest shareholder cash flow.
· Valuation—We focus on companies that are attractively valued given their growth potential.
Stocks that are ranked highest by our quantitative model are the focus of our fundamental research efforts. Our fundamental analysis focuses on identifying both industries and companies with strong drivers of growth.
Risk management plays an important role in portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to limit volatility and downside risk. We seek to accomplish this goal by investing in sectors, industries and companies with attractive fundamental prospects. We limit the Fund’s sector exposure and also seek to minimize stock-specific risk by building a diversified portfolio.
We consider selling a stock for any of the following reasons:
· The stock is overvalued based on our analysis.
· A change in fundamental metrics indicates potential problems.
· A change in market capitalization—if a stock grows and moves into the large-cap range.
· A better stock candidate with higher potential return is found.

AIM Dynamics Fund
U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed) decision to hold rates steady at several meetings beginning in August benefited equities, offsetting high energy prices and a slowing housing market.(2),(3)
In this environment, large-, mid- and small-cap stocks (as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, the Russell Midcap Index and the Russell 2000 Index, respectively) all had double-digit returns, with mid-cap stocks generally leading the rally by a narrow margin.(1) Additionally, growth stocks, as represented by the Russell 3000 Growth Index, generally outperformed value stocks, as measured by the Russell 3000 Value Index.(1) Positive performance was broad among Russell Midcap Growth Index sectors, with the best returns found in the materials, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors.(4)
The Fund benefited from positive absolute performance in nine out of 10 economic sectors, with the highest positive impact on performance coming from holdings in the consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology (IT) sectors.(4) On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index in five sectors, with the widest margin of outperformance in the industrials, consumer staples and energy sectors.(4)
The industrials sector rallied for much of the reporting period, and the Fund benefited from solid stock selection in several industries, including commercial services and supplies as well as construction and engineering. One holding that made a significant contribution to performance was Corrections Corporation of America, the nation’s largest owner and operator of privatized detention and juvenile facilities. The stock price of this holding rose after the company was able to secure a number of new contracts with government agencies. Precision Castparts, a company that makes casting, forgings and fasteners for the aerospace, industrials and automotive industries, was another leading contributor to Fund performance.
The Fund also benefited from strong stock selection in the more defensive consumer staples sector. Within this sector, holdings that made meaningful contributions to performance included natural cosmetics and body care product maker Bare Escentuals and Canadian-based drug-store owner Shopper’s Drug Mart. Both holdings benefited from strong growth in revenues and earnings during the reporting period.
The energy sector experienced wide swings but finished positive for the reporting period, and the Fund benefited from strong stock selection relative to its style-specific index. Within this sector, top contributors to Fund performance included Southwestern Energy and Williams Companies, two oil and gas exploration and production companies that benefited from high oil prices and strong demand for their services during the reporting period.
Despite facing a number of headwinds, consumer spending was resilient during much of the reporting period, benefiting many holdings in the consumer discretionary sector. Within this sector, Fund performance was driven by holdings from a variety of different industries. Holdings that made significant contributions included textile and luxury goods manufacturers Polo Ralph Lauren and Coach, Hilton Hotels and department store operator Nordstrom.
The Fund underperformed relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index by the widest margin in the IT sector.(4) Within this sector, stock selection in the software industry was the most significant detractor from performance. Examples of software holdings that detracted from performance included Red Hat, Amdocs and BEA Systems. While we continued to own Amdocs and BEA Systems at the close of the reporting period, we sold Red Hat. Some of this underperformance in software stocks was offset by positive performance from other holdings including MEMC Electronics, a leading supplier of silicon wafers to semiconductor manufacturers. This holding was one of the top five contributors to Fund performance during the reporting period.
One other key detractor was Aventine Renewable Energy, which we sold before the close of the reporting period due to deteriorating fundamentals.
During the reporting period, the most significant changes to portfolio positioning included additions in the consumer discretionary, industrials, financials and utilities sectors, and reductions in the health care, materials and energy sectors.
We thank you for your investment in AIM Dynamics Fund.

The performance data quoted represent 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. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares was 1.06%, 1.81%, 1.81%, 1.33% and 1.06%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R shares do not have a front-end sales charge; returns shown are at net asset value and do not reflect a 0.75% CDSC that may be imposed on a total redemption of retirement plan assets within the first year. Investor Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past on Class B, Class C and Investor Class shares, performance would have been lower.

principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights.

AIM Dynamics Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) 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 Fund and to 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 August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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 Fund’s actual cumulative total returns at net asset value after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appear in the table “Fund vs. Indexes” on page 5.
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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. 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. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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. The Fund’s actual cumulative total returns at net asset value after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appear in the table “Fund vs. Indexes” on page 5.

AIM Dynamics Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees of AIM Stock Funds (the “Board”) oversees the management of AIM Dynamics Fund (the “Fund”) and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”). Based upon the recommendation of the Investments Committee of the Board, at a meeting held on June 27, 2006, the Board, including all of the independent trustees, approved the continuance of the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and AIM for another year, effective July 1, 2006.
The Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Advisory Agreement at the meeting on June 27, 2006 and as part of the Board’s ongoing oversight of the Fund. In their deliberations, the Board and the independent trustees did not identify any particular factor that was controlling, and each trustee attributed different weights to the various factors.
One responsibility of the independent Senior Officer of the Fund is to manage the process by which the Fund’s proposed management fees are negotiated to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. To that end, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended an independent written evaluation in lieu of a competitive bidding process and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared such an independent written evaluation. Such written evaluation also considered certain of the factors discussed below. In addition, as discussed below, the Senior Officer made a recommendation to the Board in connection with such written evaluation.
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation and recommendation to the Board in connection therewith, as well as a discussion of the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreement. After consideration of all of the factors below and based on its informed business judgment, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable and would have been obtained through arm’s length negotiations.
Unless otherwise stated, information presented below is as of June 27, 2006 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since June 27, 2006, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
· The nature and extent of the advisory services to be provided by AIM. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by AIM under the Advisory Agreement. Based on such review, the Board concluded that the range of services to be provided by AIM under the Advisory Agreement was appropriate and that AIM currently is providing services in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
· The quality of services to be provided by AIM. The Board reviewed the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who will provide investment advisory services to the Fund. In reviewing the qualifications of AIM to provide investment advisory services, the Board considered such issues as AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. Based on the review of these and other factors, the Board concluded that the quality of services to be provided by AIM was appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory services in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
· The performance of the Fund relative to comparable funds. The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund during the past one, three and five calendar years against the performance of funds advised by other advisors with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance in such periods was below the median performance of such comparable funds. The Board also noted that AIM began serving as investment advisor to the Fund in November 2003. Based on this review and after taking account of all of the other factors that the Board considered in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board concluded that no changes should be made to the Fund and that it was not necessary to change the Fund’s portfolio management team at this time. Although the independent written evaluation 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, which did not change their conclusions.
· The performance of the Fund relative to indices. The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund during the past one, three and five calendar years against the performance of the Lipper Mid Cap Growth Funds Index. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance in such periods was below the performance of such Index. The Board also noted that AIM began serving as investment advisor to the Fund in November 2003. Based on this review and after taking account of all of the other factors that the Board considered in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board concluded that no changes should be made to the Fund and that it was not necessary to change the Fund’s portfolio management team at this time. Although the independent written evaluation 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, which did not change their conclusions.
· Meetings with the Fund’s portfolio managers and investment personnel. With respect to the Fund, the Board is meeting periodically with such Fund’s portfolio managers and/or other investment personnel and believes that such individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement.
· Overall performance of AIM. The Board considered the overall performance of AIM in providing investment advisory and portfolio administrative services to the Fund and concluded that such performance was satisfactory.
· Fees relative to those of clients of AIM with comparable investment strategies. The Board reviewed the effective advisory fee rate (before waivers) for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that this rate was (i) below the effective advisory fee rate (before waivers) for a mutual fund advised by AIM with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund; (ii) below the effective advisory fee rates (before waivers) for two variable insurance funds advised by AIM and offered to insurance company separate accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund; (iii) above the effective sub-advisory fee rate for one offshore fund advised and sub-advised by AIM affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, although the total advisory fees for such offshore fund were above those for the Fund; and (iv) comparable to the effective sub-advisory fee rates for two variable insurance funds sub-advised by an AIM affiliate and offered to insurance company separate accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, although the total advisory fees for such variable insurance funds were above those for the Fund. The Board noted that AIM has agreed to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses, as discussed below. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable.
· Fees relative to those of comparable funds with other advisors. The Board reviewed the advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board compared effective contractual advisory fee rates at a common asset level at the end of the past calendar year and noted that the Fund’s rate was below the median rate of the funds advised by other advisors with investment strategies comparable to

AIM Dynamics Fund
those of the Fund that the Board reviewed. The Board noted that AIM has agreed to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses, as discussed below. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable.
· Expense limitations and fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through July 31, 2006 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 also noted that AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund 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 that is lower than the contractual agreement. The Board considered the contractual and voluntary nature of these fee waivers/expense limitations and noted that the contractual agreement remains in effect through July 31, 2006 and the voluntary agreement can be terminated at any time by AIM without further notice to investors. The Board considered the effect these fee waivers/expense limitations would have on the Fund’s estimated expenses and concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
· Breakpoints and economies of scale. The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund’s advisory fee under the Advisory Agreement, noting that it includes six breakpoints. The Board reviewed the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, and noted that such fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, have decreased as net assets increased because the Advisory Agreement includes breakpoints. The Board noted that, due to the Fund’s asset levels at the end of the past calendar year and the way in which the advisory fee breakpoints have been structured, the Fund has yet to fully benefit from the breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee levels under the Advisory Agreement therefore reflect economies of scale and that it was not necessary to change the advisory fee breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule.
· Investments in affiliated money market funds. The Board also took into account the fact that uninvested cash and cash collateral from securities lending arrangements, if any (collectively, “cash balances”) of the Fund may be invested in money market funds advised by AIM pursuant to the terms of an SEC exemptive order. The Board found that the Fund may realize certain benefits upon investing cash balances in AIM advised money market funds, including a higher net return, increased liquidity, increased diversification or decreased transaction costs. The Board also found that the Fund will not receive reduced services if it invests its cash balances in such money market funds. The Board noted that, to the extent the Fund invests uninvested cash in affiliated money market funds, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund attributable to such investment. The Board further determined that the proposed securities lending program and related procedures with respect to the lending Fund is in the best interests of the lending Fund and its respective shareholders. The Board therefore concluded that the investment of cash collateral received in connection with the securities lending program in the money market funds according to the procedures is in the best interests of the lending Fund and its respective shareholders.
· Independent written evaluation and recommendations 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 in order to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that the Senior Officer’s written evaluation had been relied upon by the Board in this regard in lieu of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation.
· Profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed information concerning the profitability of AIM’s (and its affiliates’) investment advisory and other activities and its financial condition. 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’s operations remain profitable, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced AIM’s profitability. Based on the review of the profitability of AIM’s and its affiliates’ investment advisory and other activities and its financial condition, the Board concluded that the compensation to be paid by the Fund to AIM under its Advisory Agreement was not excessive.
· Benefits of soft dollars to AIM. The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. This research may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund. The Board concluded that such arrangements were appropriate.
· AIM’s financial soundness in light of the Fund’s needs. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Advisory Agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Advisory Agreement.
· Historical relationship between the Fund and AIM. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board also 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 reviewed the general nature of the non-investment advisory services currently performed by AIM and its affiliates, such as administrative, transfer agency and distribution services, and the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for performing such services. In addition to reviewing such services, the trustees also considered the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide those services. Based on the review of these and other factors, the Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were qualified to continue to provide non-investment advisory services to the Fund, including administrative, transfer agency and distribution services, and that AIM and its affiliates currently are providing satisfactory non-investment advisory services.
· Other factors and current trends. The Board considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years, and continue to take, in order 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 these steps taken by AIM have improved, and are likely to continue to improve, the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund in each of these areas, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

Information about your Fund’s expenses
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, 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 Fund and to 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 August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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 Fund’s actual cumulative total return after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appears in the table on the front of this supplement.
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.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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. The Fund’s actual cumulative total return after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appears in the table on the front of this supplement.
(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 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of two separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund.
The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a sc reening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.
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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
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 and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized 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
F-8
AIM DYNAMICS FUND
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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets 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 and 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 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.
F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. 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 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. Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market price s on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.
J. Foreign Currency Contracts — A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to r isk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.
K. Call Options Written and Purchased — The Fund may write and buy call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Options written by the Fund
F-9
AIM DYNAMICS FUND
normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. When the Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operation. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised.
L. Put Options Purchased — The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option's underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund's resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an incre ase in the value of the securities hedged. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold.
M. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions.
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 based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
Average Net Assets | Rate | ||||||
First $350 million | 0.60 | % | |||||
Next $350 million | 0.55 | % | |||||
Next $1.3 billion | 0.50 | % | |||||
Next $2 billion | 0.45 | % | |||||
Next $2 billion | 0.40 | % | |||||
Next $2 billion | 0.375 | % | |||||
Over $8 billion | 0.35 | % |
AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.
For the six months ended January 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $7,578.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") 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 January 31, 2007, AMVESCAP reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $6,653.
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 January 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to
F-10
AIM DYNAMICS FUND
certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, reimburses ADI for its allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of th e Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares 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 the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") Rules also impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended January 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $21,812 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $26,335, $758 and $0 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI.
NOTE 3—Investments in Affiliates
The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the six months ended January 31, 2007.

NOTE 4—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 current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $12,968,022, which resulted in net realized gains of $1,482,807, and securities purchases of $41,869,648.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangements
The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit to be used to offset future custodian fees. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $63,797.
NOTE 6—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. 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, 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 fun d 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 January 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,572 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 7—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 exceed 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 is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan.
During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility.
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, 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 8—Portfolio Securities Loaned
The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrowe r did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
At January 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $17,666,960 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $18,314,351 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $112,842 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

NOTE 10—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 July 31, 2006 which expires as follows:
Expiration | Capital Loss Carryforward* | ||||||
July 31, 2009 | $ | 49,723,352 | |||||
July 31, 2010 | 119,241,197 | ||||||
July 31, 2011 | 2,290,224,850 | ||||||
Total capital loss carryforward | $ | 2,459,189,399 |
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of April 10, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM Mid Cap Growth Fund into the Fund, are realized on securities held in each fund on such date, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization.
NOTE 11—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2007 was $975,276,592 and $1,154,581,442, respectively. For interim reporting periods, the cost of investments for tax purposes includes reversals of certain tax items, such as wash sales, that have occurred since the prior fiscal year-end.

NOTE 13—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. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently assessing the impact of FIN 48, if any, on the Fund's financial statements and currently intends for the Fund to adopt FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008.

NOTE 15—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Settled Enforcement Actions and Investigations Related to Market Timing
On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AI M, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. Management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future.
At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters.
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 AIM and 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 capped by statute.

AIM DYNAMICS FUND
NOTE 15—Legal Proceedings—(continued)
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, 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;
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; and
• that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions.
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, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees.
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 AMVESCAP'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 have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the AMVESCAP 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.

AIM S&P 500 Index Fund
AIM S&P 500 INDEX FUND’s investment objective is price performance and income comparable to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the S&P 500 —registered trademark— Index).
· Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of January 31, 2007, and is based on total net assets.
· Unless otherwise noted, all data in this report are from A I M Management Group Inc.
About share classes
· Investor Class shares are closed to most investors. For more information on who may continue to invest in Investor Class shares, please see the prospectus.
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
· Prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
· To the extent the Fund holds cash or cash equivalents rather than equity securities for risk management purposes, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
· The Fund is subject to stock market risk, which is the chance that stock prices, overall, may decline.
· The Fund is subject to investment style risk, which is the chance that returns from large capitalization stocks may trail returns from the overall stock market. Because the Fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index, the value of the Fund’s shares will decrease if the S&P 500 Index decreases.
· Because the Fund incurs operating expenses and transaction costs its performance will not track the returns of the S&P 500 Index exactly.
· It is possible that the S&P 500 Index could become less diversified if its largest companies significantly increase in value relative to the S&P 500 Index’s other components.
· The Fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as derivatives. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that the fluctuation in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Derivatives are subject to counter party risk—the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the Fund.
About indexes used in this report
· The unmanaged Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds Index represents an average of the performance of the largest S&P 500 Index funds tracked by Lipper Inc., an independent mutual fund performance monitor.
· The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the S&P 500 Index) is an index of common stocks frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance.
· A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of an index of funds reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.
Other information
· The returns shown in the management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights.
· Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
· “Standard & Poor’s —registered trademark—,” “S&P —registered trademark—,” “S&P 500” and “500” are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by A I M Management Group Inc. AIM S&P 500 Index Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor’s, and Standard & Poor’s makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in AIM S&P 500 Index Fund.
· The Chartered Financial Analyst —registered trademark— (CFA —registered trademark—) designation is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and integrity of investment professionals.
The Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the Fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders.

Dear Shareholders of The AIM Family of Funds —registered trademark—:
I’m pleased to provide you with this report, which includes a discussion of how your Fund was managed during the six months ended January 31, 2007, and what factors affected its performance. The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment.
Major U.S. stock market indexes rose significantly during the second half of 2006, due to continued economic expansion and a cessation of interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, among other factors.(1),(2) Major fixed-income indexes also produced positive returns during the second half of 2006.(1)
As I write this letter, the consensus outlook for the economy remains positive. But we all know that markets are unpredictable and subject to sudden changes based on geopolitical or economic developments. At AIM Investments —registered trademark—, we believe investors can do two things to deal with short-term market fluctuations: maintain a long-term investment horizon and maintain a diversified portfolio. AIM Investments offers a broad product line that gives your financial advisor options to build a portfolio that’s right for you regardless of market conditions. Our product line includes a comprehensive range of mutual funds, including domestic, global and international equity funds; taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds; and a variety of allocation portfolios—with risk and return characteristics to match your needs. We maintain this extensive set of product solutions because we believe in the value of diversified investment portfolios.
To provide you even more investment options, we recently launched AIM Independence Funds, six new target maturity funds that combine AIM retail mutual funds and PowerShares —registered trademark— exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as underlying investment options. ETFs are relatively low cost and potentially tax-efficient funds that trade like individual stocks. These AIM Independence Funds are intended to provide broad diversification and risk/reward levels that change as your target retirement date nears. Your financial advisor can provide you with more information about the new AIM Independence Funds.
At AIM Investments, we believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor. Your financial advisor can help you build a diversified investment portfolio, making periodic adjustments as market conditions and your investment goals change. While there are no guarantees with any investment program, a long-term plan matched to your financial goals, risk tolerance and time horizon offers the potential to keep you and your investments on track—and your financial advisor can provide you with valuable information and advice.
I also invite you to visit us on the Internet at AIMinvestments.com. Our Web site allows you to access your account information, review fund performance, learn more about your fund’s investment strategies and obtain general investing information—whenever it’s convenient for you.
Our commitment to you
While we’re committed to maintaining a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate Web site, we’re even more committed to providing excellent customer service. Our highly trained, courteous client services representatives are eager to answer your questions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246.
All of us at AIM Investments are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and are grateful for the confidence you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely, | |

Dear Fellow AIM Fund Shareholders:
Your AIM Funds Board started 2007 committed to continue working with management at A I M Advisors, Inc. (AIM) with the goal of improving performance and lowering shareholder expenses for the AIM Funds.
The progress made to date is encouraging. Following the general trends of global equity markets and the U.S. stock market, the asset-weighted absolute performance for all the equity and fixed-income AIM Funds improved to 15.08% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 9.13% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2005, and 11.20% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004.(1)^ The asset-weighted absolute performance for the AIM money market funds was 4.84% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 3.04% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2005, and 1.23% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004.(2)^
In November, your Board approved, subject to shareholder vote, four more AIM Fund consolidations. As always, these decisions were made to benefit existing shareholders and were driven by a desire to improve the merged funds’ performance, attract new assets and reduce costs. The asset class subcommittees of your Board’s Investments Committee are meeting frequently with portfolio managers to identify how performance might be further improved.
On the expense side, both AMVESCAP, the parent company of AIM, and AIM continue to take advantage of opportunities for operational consolidation, outsourcing and new technologies to improve cost efficiencies for your benefit. Your Board, for example, takes advantage of effective software solutions that enable us to save money through electronic information sharing. Additional cost-saving steps are under way. I’ll report more on these steps once they’re completed.
Another major Board initiative for early 2007 is the revision of the AIM Funds’ proxy voting guidelines, a project begun by a special Board task force late last year. We expect to have new procedures in place for the 2007 spring proxy season that will improve the ability of the AIM Funds to cast votes that are in the best interests of all fund shareholders.
While your Board recognizes that additional work lies ahead, we are gratified that some key external sources have
recognized changes at AIM and the AIM Funds in the past two years. An article in the November 21, 2006, issue of Morningstar Report (Morningstar Inc. is a leading provider of independent mutual fund investment research) included a review of AIM’s progress, highlighting lower expenses, stronger investment teams and an improved sales culture, as well as areas for continued improvement. I’m looking forward to a return visit to Morningstar this year to review AIM Funds’ performance and governance ratings.
Your Board thanks Mark Williamson, former President and CEO of AIM Investments, who retired from your Board in 2006. He has been succeeded on your Board by Phil Taylor, President of AIM Funds. We extend a warm welcome to Phil.
I’d like to hear from you. Please write to me at AIM Investments, AIM Investments Tower, 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston TX 77046. Let me know your thoughts on how your Board is doing and how we might serve you better.
Sincerely, | |

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The asset-weighted absolute performance for the equity and fixed-income AIM Funds is derived by taking the one-year cumulative total return for each share class of each AIM Fund in existence as of December 31, 2006, (excluding money market funds) and weighting the performance by the calendar year average net assets of that share class. The one-year cumulative total return includes reinvested distributions, fund expenses and management fees, but excludes applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included, the one-year cumulative total return and the asset-weighted performance would be lower.

Management’s discussion of Fund performance
Performance Summary
For the six months ended January 31, 2007, Investor Class shares of AIM S&P 500 Index Fund delivered positive returns of 13.42%, as shown in the table below. As intended by its investment strategy, the Fund performed in line with the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds Index.(1)
The Lipper S&P 500 Objective Funds Index consists of the 30 largest S&P 500 Index funds tracked by Lipper Inc. Those funds, like AIM S&P 500 Index Fund, incur fund expenses and transaction costs when they buy or sell securities. The S&P 500 Index does not incur expenses or transaction costs, and therefore its returns are likely to be slightly higher than those of the Fund and its peer group index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears on page 7.

How we invest
The Fund invests in the 500 stocks that comprise the S&P 500 Index, and in the same proportion as the index. In selecting stocks for the Fund, we use a full replication strategy that mirrors the S&P 500 Index in holdings and weightings by sector, industry and individual stock.
We make no effort to hedge against price movements in the S&P 500 Index. However, we use S&P 500 Index stock futures to fine-tune cash balances and accrued dividend income, allowing the Fund to stay virtually fully invested at all times.
In managing the Fund, we:
· Rebalance the portfolio every quarter to adjust for any changes that may have occurred in the S&P 500 Index.
· Make intra-quarter adjustments as necessary to keep the Fund’s weighting of its holdings in line with that of the S&P 500 Index.
· Add a stock to the Fund when it is added to the S&P 500 Index.
· Sell a stock when it is deleted from the S&P 500 Index, or when a spin-off occurs and the new company is not included in the S&P 500 Index.
Market conditions and your Fund
The six months covered by this report were better than many had expected coming out of the market correction experienced mid-way through 2006.(1) In addition, 2007 started off on a positive note as Wall Street pondered the market’s version of the Goldilocks fable where the economy is “just right.” While we do not make macroeconomic decisions in the management of the Fund, as investors we should be mindful of the fact that market volatility is to be expected and even in the children’s version of this classic tale, the bears eventually came home.
During the reporting period, the markets were encouraged by a series of reports indicating a continued strong economic environment. Many of the concerns from 2006 relating to tensions in the Middle East, a new chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) and the economic impact of a cooling housing market started to fade into the past. In August, the Fed held interest rates steady after 17 consecutive increases and a series of solid economic reports which indicated that economic growth had slowed and inflation was within manageable levels.(2),(3),(4)

AIM S&P 500 Index Fund
Gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of economic growth, increased at an annualized rate of 2.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006.(3) This was a small increase over the third quarter of 2006 in which GDP grew at an annualized rate of 2.0%.(3) Much of the growth in the fourth quarter was driven by increases in consumer spending and federal government expenditures.(3)
The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, increased at an annualized rate of 2.5% in 2006, down from 3.4% in 2005.(4) This lower inflation rate was largely driven by energy costs declining sharply during the second half of 2006. This decline affected the return of the energy sector which delivered positive results but lagged most other sectors, a reversal of the trend of outperformance we witnessed over the past few years. Some of the companies that were affected most within the energy sector and detracted from Fund performance included Valero Energy, Occidental Petroleum and ConocoPhillips.
Energy aside, there was broad strength in the S&P 500 as all 10 sectors were up during the six-month reporting period.(1) Information technology (IT) was one of the best performing sectors and was the largest contributor to overall Fund performance. The sector rebounded during the fourth quarter of 2006 after a weak third quarter as retail stores increased their consumer electronics inventories and corporations spent the remainder of their 2006 technology budgets to update their IT resources. Some of the key benefactors of these moves and largest contributors to Fund performance included Cisco Systems and the sector’s bellwether, Microsoft, which actively promoted the launch of its new Windows Vista(TM) operating system.
We seek to provide shareholders with exposure to the broad market as measured by the S&P 500 Index. The markets can exhibit fairly erratic behavior over the short-term which is why we believe that it is important for investors to remain focused on their long-term investment strategy. We thank you for your investment in AIM S&P 500 Index Fund.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Please visit AIMinvestments.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Investor Class shares was 0.60%.(1) The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Investor Class shares was 0.81%. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Investor Class shares do not have a front-end or a contingent deferred sales charge; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the Fund within 30 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.
(1) The Fund’s advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.60% on Investor Class shares. 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 Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the number reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund benefits are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. This expense limitation agreement is in effect through at least June 30, 2007.

AIM S&P 500 Index Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) 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 Fund and to 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 August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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 Fund’s actual cumulative total returns at net asset value after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appear in the table “Fund vs. Indexes” on page 5.
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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. 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. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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. The Fund’s actual cumulative total returns at net asset value after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appear in the table “Fund vs. Indexes” on page 5.

AIM S&P 500 Index Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees of AIM Stock Funds (the “Board”) oversees the management of AIM S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”) and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Fund’s advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”). Based upon the recommendation of the Investments Committee of the Board, at a meeting held on June 27, 2006, the Board, including all of the independent trustees, approved the continuance of the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and AIM for another year, effective July 1, 2006.
The Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Advisory Agreement at the meeting on June 27, 2006 and as part of the Board’s ongoing oversight of the Fund. In their deliberations, the Board and the independent trustees did not identify any particular factor that was controlling, and each trustee attributed different weights to the various factors.
One responsibility of the independent Senior Officer of the Fund is to manage the process by which the Fund’s proposed management fees are negotiated to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms’ length and reasonable. To that end, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer has recommended an independent written evaluation in lieu of a competitive bidding process and, upon the direction of the Board, has prepared such an independent written evaluation. Such written evaluation also considered certain of the factors discussed below. In addition, as discussed below, the Senior Officer made a recommendation to the Board in connection with such written evaluation.
The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation and recommendation to the Board in connection therewith, as well as a discussion of the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreement. After consideration of all of the factors below and based on its informed business judgment, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to AIM under the Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable and would have been obtained through arm’s length negotiations.
Unless otherwise stated, information presented below is as of June 27, 2006 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since June 27, 2006, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
· The nature and extent of the advisory services to be provided by AIM. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by AIM under the Advisory Agreement. Based on such review, the Board concluded that the range of services to be provided by AIM under the Advisory Agreement was appropriate and that AIM currently is providing services in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
· The quality of services to be provided by AIM. The Board reviewed the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of AIM who will provide investment advisory services to the Fund. In reviewing the qualifications of AIM to provide investment advisory services, the Board considered such issues as AIM’s portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by AIM and AIM’s equity and fixed income trading operations. Based on the review of these and other factors, the Board concluded that the quality of services to be provided by AIM was appropriate and that AIM currently is providing satisfactory services in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
· The performance of the Fund relative to comparable funds. The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund during the past one, three and five calendar years against the performance of funds advised by other advisors with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance in such periods was below the median performance of such comparable funds. The Board also noted that AIM began serving as investment advisor to the Fund in November 2003. Based on this review and after taking account of all of the other factors that the Board considered in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board concluded that no changes should be made to the Fund and that it was not necessary to change the Fund’s portfolio management team at this time. However, due to the Fund’s under-performance, the Board also concluded that it would be appropriate for the Board to continue to closely monitor and review the performance of the Fund. Although the independent written evaluation 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, which did not change their conclusions.
· The performance of the Fund relative to indices. The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund during the past one, three and five calendar years against the performance of the Lipper S&P 500 Fund Index. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was comparable to the performance of such Index for the one and three year periods and below such Index for the five year period. The Board also noted that AIM began serving as investment advisor to the Fund in November 2003. Based on this review and after taking account of all of the other factors that the Board considered in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board concluded that no changes should be made to the Fund and that it was not necessary to change the Fund’s portfolio management team at this time. However, due to the Fund’s under-performance, the Board also concluded that it would be appropriate for the Board to continue to closely monitor and review the performance of the Fund. Although the independent written evaluation 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, which did not change their conclusions.
· Meetings with the Fund’s portfolio managers and investment personnel. With respect to the Fund, the Board is meeting periodically with such Fund’s portfolio managers and/or other investment personnel and believes that such individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement.
· Overall performance of AIM. The Board considered the overall performance of AIM in providing investment advisory and portfolio administrative services to the Fund and concluded that such performance was satisfactory.
· Fees relative to those of clients of AIM with comparable investment strategies. The Board reviewed the effective advisory fee rate (before waivers) for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that this rate was comparable to or below the total advisory fee rates for 98 separately managed accounts/wrap accounts managed by an AIM affiliate with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund and above the total advisory fee rates for 21 separately managed accounts/wrap accounts managed by an AIM affiliate with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that AIM has agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund and to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses, as discussed below. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable.
· Fees relative to those of comparable funds with other advisors. The Board reviewed the advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board compared effective contractual advisory fee rates at a common asset level at the end of the past calendar year and noted that the Fund’s rate was comparable to the median rate of the funds advised by other advisors with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund that the Board reviewed. The Board noted that AIM has agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund and to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses, as discussed below. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable.
· Expense limitations and fee waivers. The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund through June 30, 2007 to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund do not exceed a specified maximum advisory fee rate, which maximum rate includes breakpoints and is based on net asset levels. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until June 30, 2007. The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2007 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/expense limitation and noted that it remains in effect through June 30, 2007. The Board considered the effect these fee waivers/expense limitations would have on the Fund’s estimated expenses and these fee waivers/expense limitations concluded that the levels of fee waivers/expense limitations for the Fund were fair and reasonable.
· Breakpoints and economies of scale. The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund’s advisory fee under the Advisory Agreement, noting that it does not include any breakpoints. The Board considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints for the Fund or whether, due to the nature of the Fund and the advisory fee structures of comparable funds, it was reasonable to structure the advisory fee without breakpoints. Based on this review, the Board concluded that it was not necessary to add advisory fee breakpoints to the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board reviewed the level of the Fund’s advisory fees, and noted that such fees, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets, would remain constant under the Advisory Agreement because the Advisory Agreement does not include any breakpoints. The Board noted that AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund through June 30, 2007 to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the fund do not exceed a specified maximum advisory fee rate, which maximum rate includes breakpoints and is based on net asset levels. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee levels under the Advisory Agreement therefore would not reflect economies of scale, although the advisory fee waiver reflects economies of scale.
· Investments in affiliated money market funds. The Board also took into account the fact that uninvested cash and cash collateral from securities lending arrangements, if any (collectively, “cash balances”) of the Fund may be invested in money market funds advised by AIM pursuant to the terms of an SEC exemptive order. The Board found that the Fund may realize certain benefits upon investing cash balances in AIM advised money market funds, including a higher net return, increased liquidity, increased diversification or decreased transaction costs. The Board also found that the Fund will not receive reduced services if it invests its cash balances in such money market funds. The Board noted that, to the extent the Fund invests uninvested cash in affiliated money market funds, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund attributable to such investment. The Board further determined that the proposed securities lending program and related procedures with respect to the lending Fund is in the best interests of the lending Fund and its respective shareholders. The Board therefore concluded that the investment of cash collateral received in connection with the securities lending program in the money market funds according to the procedures is in the best interests of the lending Fund and its respective shareholders.
· Independent written evaluation and recommendations of the Fund’s Senior Officer. The Board noted that, upon
(continued)

AIM S&P 500 Index Fund
their direction, the Senior Officer of the Fund, who is independent of AIM and AIM’s affiliates, had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Board in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the AIM Funds, including the Fund. The Board noted that the Senior Officer’s written evaluation had been relied upon by the Board in this regard in lieu of a competitive bidding process. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board considered the Senior Officer’s written evaluation and the recommendation made by the Senior Officer to the Board that the Board consider whether the advisory fee waivers for certain equity AIM Funds, including the Fund, should be simplified. The Board concluded that it would be advisable to consider this issue and reach a decision prior to the expiration date of such advisory fee waivers.
· Profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed information concerning the profitability of AIM’s (and its affiliates’) investment advisory and other activities and its financial condition. 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’s operations remain profitable, although increased expenses in recent years have reduced AIM’s profitability. Based on the review of the profitability of AIM���s and its affiliates’ investment advisory and other activities and its financial condition, the Board concluded that the compensation to be paid by the Fund to AIM under its Advisory Agreement was not excessive.
· Benefits of soft dollars to AIM. The Board considered the benefits realized by AIM as a result of brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Under these arrangements, brokerage commissions paid by the Fund and/or other funds advised by AIM are used to pay for research and execution services. This research may be used by AIM in making investment decisions for the Fund. The Board concluded that such arrangements were appropriate.
· AIM’s financial soundness in light of the Fund’s needs. The Board considered whether AIM is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Advisory Agreement, and concluded that AIM has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Advisory Agreement.
· Historical relationship between the Fund and AIM. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board also 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 reviewed the general nature of the non-investment advisory services currently performed by AIM and its affiliates, such as administrative, transfer agency and distribution services, and the fees received by AIM and its affiliates for performing such services. In addition to reviewing such services, the trustees also considered the organizational structure employed by AIM and its affiliates to provide those services. Based on the review of these and other factors, the Board concluded that AIM and its affiliates were qualified to continue to provide non-investment advisory services to the Fund, including administrative, transfer agency and distribution services, and that AIM and its affiliates currently are providing satisfactory non-investment advisory services.
· Other factors and current trends. The Board considered the steps that AIM and its affiliates have taken over the last several years, and continue to take, in order 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 these steps taken by AIM have improved, and are likely to continue to improve, the quality and efficiency of the services AIM and its affiliates provide to the Fund in each of these areas, and support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Fund.
Approval of Sub-Advisory Agreement
The Board oversees the management of the Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Fund’s sub-advisory agreement. Based upon the recommendation of the Investments Committee of the Board, at a meeting held on June 27, 2006, the Board, including all of the independent trustees, approved the continuance of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”) and AIM with respect to the Fund for another year, effective July 1, 2006.
The Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Sub-Advisory Agreement at the meeting on June 27, 2006 and as part of the Board’s ongoing oversight of the Fund. In their deliberations, the Board and the independent trustees did not identify any particular factor that was controlling, and each trustee attributed different weights to the various factors.
The discussion below serves as a discussion of the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. After consideration of all of the factors below and based on its informed business judgment, the Board determined that the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable.
Unless otherwise stated, information presented below is as of June 27, 2006 and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since June 27, 2006, including but not limited to changes to the Fund’s performance.

Based on the review of these and other factors, the Board concluded that the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor was appropriate, and that the Sub-Advisor currently is providing satisfactory services in accordance with the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

· The performance of the Fund relative to indices.

· Fees relative to those of clients of the Sub-Advisor with comparable investment strategies. The Board reviewed the sub-advisory fee rate for the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the sub-advisory fees paid thereunder. The Board noted that this rate was comparable to or above the total advisory fee rates for 13 separately managed accounts/wrap accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund and below the total advisory fee rates for 106 separately managed accounts/wrap accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that AIM has agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund and to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses. The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the services to be provided by AIM pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between AIM and the Sub-Advisor pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by AIM to the Sub-Advisor, and that AIM and the Sub-Advisor are affiliates. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable.
· Profitability of AIM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed information concerning the profitability of AIM’s (and its affiliates’) investment advisory and other activities and its financial condition. The Board considered the overall profitability of AIM, as well as the profitability of AIM in connection with managing the Fund.

Institutional Class shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at net asset value (NAV). Performance of Institutional Class shares will differ from performance of other share classes primarily due to differing sales charges and class expenses.
Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. More recent returns may be more or less than those shown. All returns assume reinvestment of distributions at NAV. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See full report for information on comparative benchmarks. Please consult your Fund prospectus for more information. For the most current month-end performance, please call 800-451-4246 or visit AIMinvestments.com.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the Fund within
30 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have
been lower.

Information about your Fund’s expenses
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, 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 Fund and to 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 August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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 Fund’s actual cumulative total return after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appears in the table on the front of this supplement.
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.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 1, 2006, through January 31, 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. The Fund’s actual cumulative total return after expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007, appears in the table on the front of this supplement.
(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 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
AIM S&P 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Stock Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of two separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund.
The Fund's investment objective is price performance and income comparable to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (the "S&P 500").
A. Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
F-13
AIM S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a sc reening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.
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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
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 and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized 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 Finan cial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets 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 and paid quarterly and are recorded on ex-dividend date. 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 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.
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.
F-14
AIM S&P 500 INDEX FUND
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 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. Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund's pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities and/or, Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates ("Joint repurchase agreements"). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Redemption Fees — The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
K. Futures Contracts — The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in th e contract. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
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 Fund's average daily net assets. AIM has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("INVESCO") whereby AIM pays INVESCO 40% of the fee paid by the Fund to AIM.
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) of Investor Class and Institutional Class shares to 0.60% and 0.35% of average daily net assets, respectively, through at least June 30, 2007. 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 numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) 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 AMVESCAP PLC (" AMVESCAP") 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 deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. In addition, the Fund may also benefit from a one time credit to be used to offset future custodian expenses. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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 each fiscal year.
For the six months ended January 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $21,703 and reimbursed $181,887 and $8,285 of class level expenses of the Investor Class and the Institutional Class shares, respectively.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP 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 January 31, 2007, AMVESCAP reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $1,489.
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 January 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.

AIM S&P 500 INDEX FUND
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Investor Class shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays ADI compensation up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") Rules also impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI.
NOTE 3—Investments in Affiliates
The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the six months ended January 31, 2007.

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangements
The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit to be used to offset future custodian fees. For the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $7,617.
NOTE 5—Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits
"Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. 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, 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 fun d 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 January 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,417 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 6—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 is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan.
During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility.

AIM S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, 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 7—Futures Contracts
On January 31, 2007, $500,000 principal amount of U.S. Treasury obligations were pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.

NOTE 8—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.

NOTE 11—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. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently assessing the impact of FIN 48, if any, on the Fund's financial statements and currently intends for the Fund to adopt FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008.

NOTE 13—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Settled Enforcement Actions and Investigations Related to Market Timing
On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AI M, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. Management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future.
At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters.

NOTE 13—Legal Proceedings—(continued)
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 AIM and 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 capped by statute.
Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, 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;
• that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; and
• that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions.
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, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees.
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 AMVESCAP'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 have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the AMVESCAP 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.
